Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer, turneth away wrath, but a cutting word raiseth anger.
Odgovor blag utišava gnjev, a rijeè prijeka podiže srdnju.
2 The tongue of the wise, adorneth knowledge, —but, the mouth of dullards, belcheth out folly.
Jezik mudrijeh ljudi ukrašava znanje, a usta bezumnijeh prosipaju bezumlje.
3 In every place, are the eyes of Yahweh, observing the evil and the good.
Oèi su Gospodnje na svakom mjestu gledajuæi zle i dobre.

Zdrav je jezik drvo životno, a opaèina s njega kršenje od vjetra.
5 A foolish [son], spurneth the correction of his father, but, he that heedeth a reproof, sheweth prudence.
Lud se ruga nastavom oca svojega; a ko prima ukor, biva pametan.
6 The household of the righteous man, is a great treasure, but, in the increase of the lawless, is disturbance.
U kuæi pravednikovoj ima mnogo blaga; a u dohotku je bezbožnikovu rasap.
7 The lips of the wise, scatter abroad knowledge, but, the heart of dullards, is not right.
Usne mudrijeh ljudi siju znanje, a srce bezumnièko ne èini tako.
8 The sacrifice of lawless men, is an abomination to Yahweh, but, the prayer of the upright, is his delight.
Žrtva je bezbožnièka gad Gospodu, a molitva pravednijeh ugodna mu je.
9 An abomination to Yahweh, is the way of the lawless, but, the pursuer of righteousness, he loveth.
Gad je Gospodu put bezbožnikov; a ko ide za pravdom, njega ljubi.
10 There is, grievous correction, for him that forsaketh the right path, He that hateth rebuke, shall die.
Karanje je zlo onome ko ostavlja put; koji mrzi na ukor, umrijeæe.
11 Hades and destruction, are before Yahweh, how much more then, the hearts of the sons of men. (Sheol h7585)
Pakao je i pogibao pred Gospodom, akamoli srca sinova èovjeèijih. (Sheol h7585)
12 A scoffer, loveth not, one who reproveth him, unto the wise, doth he not go.

Svi su dani nevoljnikovi zli; a ko je vesela srca, na gozbi je jednako.
16 Better is a little, with the reverence of Yahweh, than great treasure, and disquietude therewith.
Bolje je malo sa strahom Gospodnjim nego veliko blago s nemirom.

Bolje je jelo od zelja gdje je ljubav nego od vola ugojena gdje je mržnja.
18 A wrathful man, stirreth up strife, but, he that is slow to anger, calmeth contention.
Èovjek gnjevljiv zameæe raspru; a ko je spor na gnjev, utišava svaðu.

Put je lijenoga kao ograda od trnja, a staza je pravednijeh nasuta.

Raduje se èovjek odgovorom usta svojih, i rijeè u vrijeme kako je dobra!
Put k životu ide gore razumnome da se saèuva od pakla ozdo. (Sheol h7585)
25 The house of proud men, will Yahweh tear down, but he will maintain the boundary of the widow.

Strah je Gospodnji nastava k mudrosti, i prije slave ide smjernost.
