Proverbs 23
1 If you will sit down to eat with a ruler carefully you will consider [that] which [is] before you.
Kad sjedneš blagovati s moćnikom. dobro pazi što je pred tobom;
2 And you will put a knife in throat your if [are] a master of appetite you.
stavljaš nož sebi pod grlo ako si proždrljivac;
3 May not (you crave *Q(K)*) for dainties his and it [is] food of lies.
ne poželi slastica njegovih jer su jelo prijevarno.
4 May not you labor to gain riches from understanding your cease.
Ne trudi se stjecati bogatstvo; okani se takve misli;
5 (¿ Do you cause to fly *Q(K)*) eyes your on it and there not [is] it for certainly it makes for itself wings like an eagle (it flies away *Q(K)*) the heavens.
usmjeriš li oči prema njemu, njega već nema jer načini sebi krila kao orao i odleti u nebo.
6 May not you eat [the] food of a [person] evil of eye and may not (you crave *Q(K)*) for dainties his.
Ne jedi jela zavidnikova, ne čezni za slasticama njegovim,
7 For - as he calculates in self his [is] so he eat and drink he says to you and heart his not [is] with you.
jer on je onakav kako u sebi misli: “Jedi i pij”, veli ti, ali mu srce nije s tobom.
8 Morsel your [which] you have eaten you will vomit up it and you will spoil words your pleasant.
Zalogaj koji si pojeo izbljuvat ćeš, uzalud ćeš prosut' svoje ljupke riječi.
9 In [the] ears of a fool may not you speak for he will despise [the] insight of words your.
Pred bezumnikom nemoj govoriti jer prezire tvoje umne riječi.
10 May not you displace a boundary of antiquity and in [the] fields of fatherless ones may not you go.
Ne pomiči prastare međe i ne prodiri u polje siročadi,
11 For redeemer their [is] strong he he will conduct case their with you.
jer je moćan njihov osvetnik: branit će njihovo pravo protiv tebe.
12 Bring! to discipline heart your and ears your to words of knowledge.
Obrati pouci srce svoje i uho svoje riječima mudrim.
13 May not you withhold from a youth discipline for you will strike him with the rod not he will die.
Ne uskraćuj djetetu opomene, jer, udariš li ga šibom, neće umrijeti:
biješ ga šibom, ali mu dušu iz Podzemlja izbavljaš. (Sheol h7585)
15 O son my if it is wise heart your it will rejoice heart my also I.
Sine moj, kad ti je mudro srce, i ja se od srca veselim;
16 So they may rejoice kidneys my when speak lips your uprightness.
i kliče sva nutrina moja kad ti usne govore što je pravo.
17 May not it be jealous heart of your sinners that except in [the] fear of Yahweh all the day.
Neka ti srce ne zavidi grešnicima, nego neka ti uvijek bude u strahu Gospodnjem,
18 That except there [is] a future and hope your not it will be cut off.
jer imat ćeš budućnost i tvoja nada neće propasti.
19 Listen O you son my and be wise and guide in the way heart your.
Slušaj, sine moj, i mudar budi i ravnim putem vodi srce svoje.
20 May not you be among drunkards of wine among gluttons of meat themselves.
Ne druži se s vinopijama ni sa žderačima mesa,
21 For a drunkard and a glutton he will become impoverished and rags it will clothe [them] drowsiness.
jer pijanica i izjelica osiromaše i pospanac se oblači u krpe.
22 Listen to father your who he begot you and may not you despise if she is old mother your.
Slušaj svoga oca, svoga roditelja, i ne prezri majku kad ostari.
23 Truth buy and may not you sell [it] wisdom and discipline and understanding.
Pribavi istinu i ne prodaji je, steci mudrost, pouku i razbor.
24 (Certainly he rejoices *Q(k)*) [the] father of a righteous [son] (and [one who] begets *Q(K)*) a wise [son] (he rejoices *Q(K)*) in him.
Radovat će se otac pravednikov, i roditelj će se mudroga veseliti.
25 May he rejoice father your and mother your and may she rejoice [the] [one who] bore you.
Neka se veseli otac tvoj i majka tvoja, i neka se raduje roditeljka tvoja.
26 Give! O son my heart your to me and eyes your ways my (let them observe. *Q(K)*)
Daj mi, sine moj, srce svoje, i neka oči tvoje raduju putovi moji.
27 For [is] a pit deep a prostitute and [is] a well narrow a foreign [woman].
Jer bludnica je jama duboka i tuđinka tijesan zdenac.
28 Also she like a robber she lies in wait and treacherous [people] among humankind she increases.
Ona i vreba u zasjedi kao lupež i uvećava broj bezbožnika među ljudima.
29 [belongs] to Whom? woe [belongs] to whom? woe! [belong] to whom? (contentions *Q(K)*) [belongs] to whom? complaint [belong] to whom? wounds without cause [belongs] to whom? dullness of eyes.
Komu: ah? komu: jao? komu: svađe? komu: uzdasi? komu: rane nizašto? komu: zamućene oči?
30 To [those who] delay over the wine to [those who] go to examine mixed wine.
Onima što kasno sjede kod vina, koji su došli kušati vino začinjeno.
31 May not you see wine for it will be red if it will give (in the cup *Q(K)*) eye its it will go with smoothness.
Ne gledaj na vino kad rujno iskri, kad se u čaši svjetlucavo prelijeva: pije se tako glatko,
32 End its like a snake it will bite and like a viper it will sting.
a na kraju ujeda kao zmija i žaca kao guja ljutica.
33 Eyes your they will see strange [things] and heart your it will speak perverse things.
Oči će ti gledati tlapnje i srce govoriti ludosti.
34 And you will be like [one who] lies down in [the] heart of [the] sea and like [one who] lies down at [the] top of a mast.
I bit će ti kao da ležiš na pučini morskoj ili kao da ležiš navrh jarbola.
35 They struck me not I am sick they beat me not I know when? will I awake I will repeat I will seek it again.
“Izbiše me, ali me ne zabolje; istukoše me, ali ne osjetih; kad se otrijeznim, još ću tražiti.”
