Proverbs 14
1 Every, wise woman, buildeth up her house, but, a foolish one, with her own hands, would break it down.
Mudra žena zida kuæu svoju, a luda svojim rukama raskopava.
2 He that walketh in his uprightness, is one who revereth Yahweh, but, he that is crooked in his way, is one who despiseth him.
Ko hodi pravo, boji se Gospoda; a ko je opak na svojim putovima, prezire ga.
3 In the mouth of the foolish, is a haughty rod, but, as for the lips of the wise, thou shalt give heed to them!
U ustima je bezbožnikovijem prut oholosti, a mudre èuvaju usta njihova.
4 Without cattle, the crib is clean, but, much increase, is in the strength of the ox.
Gdje nema volova, èiste su jasle; a obilata je ljetina od sile volovske.
5 A faithful witness, will not deceive, but a false witness, uttereth deceitful things.
Istinit svjedok ne laže, a lažan svjedok govori laž.
6 A scoffer seeketh wisdom, and there is none, but, knowledge, to the discerning, is easy.
Potsmjevaè traži mudrost, i ne nahodi je; a razumnomu je znanje lako naæi.
7 Get thee from the presence of a man that is a dullard, when thou perceivest not the lips of knowledge.
Idi od èovjeka bezumna, jer neæeš èuti pametne rijeèi.
8 The wisdom of the prudent, is to understand his way, but, the folly of dullards, is a fraud.
Mudrost je pametnoga da pazi na put svoj, a bezumlje je bezumnijeh prijevara.
9 the foolish, scoff at guilt, but, between the upright, is good pleasure.
Bezumnima je šala grijeh, a meðu pravednima je dobra volja.
10 The heart, knoweth its own bitterness, and, in its joy, no stranger shareth.
Srce svaèije zna jad duše svoje; i u veselje njegovo ne miješa se drugi.
11 The house of the lawless, shall be destroyed, but, the tent of the upright, shall flourish.
Dom bezbožnièki raskopaæe se, a koliba pravednijeh cvjetaæe.
12 There is a way that enticeth a man, but, at the latter end thereof, are the ways of death!
Neki se put èini èovjeku prav, a kraj mu je put k smrti.
13 Even, in laughter, the heart may be in pain, and, the latter end of gladness, be grief.
I od smijeha boli srce, i veselju kraj biva žalost.
14 With his own ways, shall be filled the backslider in heart, and, from himself, shall a good man [be satisfied].
Putova svojih nasitiæe se ko je izopaèena srca, ali ga se kloni èovjek dobar.
15 The simple, believeth every word, but, the prudent, looketh well to his going.
Lud vjeruje svašta, a pametan pazi na svoje korake.

Klanjaju se zli pred dobrima i bezbožni na vratima pravednoga.
20 Even by his neighbour, is a poor man hated, but, the lovers of the rich man, are many.
Ubogi je mrzak i prijatelju svom, a bogati imaju mnogo prijatelja.
21 He that sheweth contempt for his neighbour, sinneth, but, he that sheweth favour to the afflicted, how happy is he!
Ko prezire bližnjega svojega griješi; a ko je milostiv ubogima, blago njemu.
22 Shall they not, become vagrants, who devise evil? but, lovingkindness and faithfulness, [be to] them who devise good.
Koji smišljaju zlo, ne lutaju li? a milost i vjera biæe onima koji smišljaju dobro.
23 By all labour, there will be abundance, but, the talk of the lips, tendeth only to want.
U svakom trudu ima dobitka, a govor usnama samo je siromaštvo.
