Proverbs 9
1 Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars:
Premudrost sazida sebi kuæu, i otesa sedam stupova;
2 She has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine; she has also furnished her table.
Pokla stoku svoju, rastvori vino svoje, i postavi sto svoj.
3 She has sent forth her maidens: she cries upon the highest places of the city,
Posla djevojke svoje, te zove svrh visina gradskih:
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in here: as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
Ko je lud, neka se uvrati ovamo. I bezumnima veli:
5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
Hodite, jedite hljeba mojega, i pijte vina koje sam rastvorila.
6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
Ostavite ludost i biæete živi, i idite putem razuma.
7 He that reproves a scorner gets to himself shame: and he that rebukes a wicked man gets himself a blot.
Ko uèi potsmjevaèa, prima sramotu; i ko kori bezbožnika, prima rug.
8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you: rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
Ne karaj potsmjevaèa da ne omrzne na te; karaj mudra, i ljubiæe te.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
Kaži mudrome, i biæe još mudriji; pouèi pravednoga, i znaæe više.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Poèetak je mudrosti strah Gospodnji, i znanje je svetijeh stvari razum.
11 For by me your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased.
Jer æe se mnom umnožiti dani tvoji i dodaæe ti se godine životu.
12 If you be wise, you shall be wise for yourself: but if you scorn, you alone shall bear it.
Ako budeš mudar, sebi æeš biti mudar; ako li budeš potsmjevaè, sam æeš tegliti.
13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knows nothing.
Žena bezumna plaha je, luda i ništa ne zna;
14 For she sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
I sjedi na vratima od kuæe svoje na stolici, na visinama gradskim,
15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
Te vièe one koji prolaze, koji idu pravo svojim putem:
16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in here: and as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
Ko je lud? neka se uvrati ovamo. I bezumnome govori:
17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
Voda je kradena slatka, i hljeb je sakriven ugodan.
