Proverbs 13
1 A wise sonne will obey the instruction of his father: but a scorner will heare no rebuke.
Mudar sin sluša naputak očev, a podsmjevač ne sluša ukora.
2 A man shall eate good things by the fruite of his mouth: but the soule of the trespassers shall suffer violence.
Od ploda usta svojih uživa čovjek sreću, a srce je nevjernika puno nasilja.
3 Hee that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life: but he that openeth his lips, destruction shall be to him.
Tko čuva usta svoja, čuva život svoj, a tko nesmotreno zbori, o glavu mu je.
4 The sluggard lusteth, but his soule hath nought: but the soule of the diligent shall haue plentie.
Uzaludna je žudnja lijenčine, a ispunit će se želja marljivih.
5 A righteous man hateth lying wordes: but the wicked causeth slander and shame.
Pravednik mrzi na lažljivu riječ, a opaki goji mržnju i sramotu.
6 Righteousnesse preserueth the vpright of life: but wickednes ouerthroweth the sinner.
Pravda čuva pobožna, a opake grijeh obara.
7 There is that maketh himselfe riche, and hath nothing, and that maketh himselfe poore, hauing great riches.
Netko se gradi bogatim, a ništa nema, netko se gradi siromašnim, a ima veliko bogatstvo.
8 A man will giue his riches for the ransome of his life: but the poore cannot heare ye reproch.
Otkup života bogatstvo je čovjeku; a siromah ne sluša opomene.
9 The light of the righteous reioyceth: but the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
Svjetlost pravednička blistavo sja, a svjetiljka opakih gasi se.
10 Onely by pride doeth man make contention: but with the well aduised is wisdome.
Oholost rađa samo svađu, a mudrost je u onih koji primaju savjet.
11 The riches of vanitie shall diminish: but he that gathereth with the hand, shall increase them.
Naglo stečeno bogatstvo iščezava, a tko sabire pomalo, biva bogat.
12 The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart: but when the desire commeth, it is as a tree of life.
Predugo očekivanje ubija srce, a ispunjena želja drvo je života.
13 He that despiseth the worde, hee shall be destroyed: but hee that feareth the commandement he shalbe rewarded.
Tko riječ prezire, taj propada, a tko poštiva zapovijedi, plaću dobiva.
14 The instruction of a wise man is as the welspring of life, to turne away from the snares of death.
Pouka mudračeva izvor je životni, ona izbavlja od zamke smrti.
15 Good vnderstanding maketh acceptable: but the way of the disobedient is hated.
Uvid u dobro pribavlja milost, a put bezbožnika hrapav je.
16 Euery wise man will worke by knowledge: but a foole will spread abroade folly.
Svatko pametan djeluje promišljeno, a bezumnik se hvališe svojom ludošću.
17 A wicked messenger falleth into euill: but a faithfull ambassadour is preseruation.
Zao glasnik zapada u zlo, a vjeran poslanik donosi spasenje.
18 Pouertie and shame is to him that refuseth instruction: but hee that regardeth correction, shalbe honoured.
Siromaštvo i sramota onomu tko odbija pouku, a tko ukor prima, doći će do časti.
19 A desire accomplished deliteth ye soule: but it is an abomination to fooles to depart from euil.
Slatka je duši ispunjena želja, a bezumnicima je mrsko kloniti se oda zla.
20 He that walketh with the wise, shalbe wise: but a companion of fooles shalbe afflicted.
Druži se s mudrima, i postat ćeš mudar, a tko se drži bezumnika, postaje opak.
21 Affliction followeth sinners: but vnto the righteous God will recompense good.
Grešnika progoni zlo, a dobro je nagrada pravednima.
22 The good man shall giue inheritance vnto his childrens children: and the riches of the sinner is layde vp for the iust.
Valjan čovjek ostavlja baštinu unucima, a bogatstvo se grešnikovo čuva pravedniku.
23 Much foode is in the fielde of the poore: but the fielde is destroyed without discretion.
Izobilje je hrane na krčevini siromaškoj, a ima i tko propada s nepravde.
24 He that spareth his rodde, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betime.
Tko štedi šibu, mrzi na sina svog, a tko ga ljubi, na vrijeme ga opominje.
25 The righteous eateth to the contentation of his minde: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
Pravednik ima jela do sitosti, a trbuh opakih poznaje oskudicu.
