Proverbs 9
1 [It is as though] wisdom [is a woman who] has built a [big] house for herself, and has set up seven columns [to support the roof],
Moudrost vystavěla dům svůj, vytesavši sloupů svých sedm.
2 and has slaughtered an animal [and cooked the meat], and has mixed [nice spices] in the wine, and has put [the food] on the table.
Zbila dobytek svůj, smísila víno své, stůl také svůj připravila.
3 [It is as though then] she sent out her servant women to call out from the highest place in the town,
A poslavši děvečky své, volá na vrchu nejvyšších míst v městě:
4 “You people who need to understand more, come in!” And to those who are ignorant, [it is as though] she calls out,
Kdožkoli jest hloupý, uchyl se sem. Až i bláznivým říká:
5 “Come and eat the food that I [have prepared], and drink the [good] wine that I have mixed!
Poďte, jezte chléb můj, a píte víno, kteréž jsem smísila.
6 (Leave/Go away from) [other] foolish people, and [if you do that, you will continue to] live. Walk on the road that will enable you to (have knowledge/know what is true and what is not true).”
Opusťte hloupost a živi buďte, a choďte cestou rozumnosti.
7 If you rebuke someone who will not allow others to correct him, he will insult you. If you reprove/scold an evil man, he will hurt you.
Kdo tresce posměvače, dochází hanby, a kdo přimlouvá bezbožnému, pohanění.
8 Do not rebuke someone who will not allow others to (correct him/tell him what he has done is wrong), because he will hate you for doing that. [But] if you rebuke a wise person, he will respect you.
Nedomlouvej posměvači, aby tě nevzal v nenávist; přimlouvej moudrému, a bude tě milovati.
9 If you give instruction to wise people, they will become wiser. And if you teach righteous people, they will learn more.
Učiň to moudrému, a bude moudřejší; pouč spravedlivého, a bude umělejší.
10 If you want to be wise, you must start by revering Yahweh, and if you know God, the Holy One, you will understand [which teachings are wise/true].
Počátek moudrosti jest bázeň Hospodinova, a umění svatých rozumnost.
11 If you become wise, you will live many years [DOU].
Nebo skrze mne rozmnoží se dnové tvoji, a přidánoť bude let života.
12 If you are wise, you are the one who will benefit from it; if you ridicule [becoming wise], you are the one who will suffer.
Budeš-li moudrý, sobě moudrý budeš; pakli posměvač, sám vytrpíš.
13 Foolish women talk loudly; they are ignorant and are never ashamed [of the wrong things that they do].
Žena bláznivá štěbetná, nesmyslná, a nic neumí.
14 They sit at the doors of their houses [or] they sit on the top [of the hills] in the town,
A sedí u dveří domu svého na stolici, na místech vysokých v městě,
15 and they call out to the men who are passing by, who are trying to be concerned with their own affairs,
Aby volala jdoucích cestou, kteříž přímo jdou stezkami svými, řkuci:
16 “You people who need to understand more, come into [my house]!” And to those who are ignorant, they call out,
Kdo jest hloupý, uchyl se sem. A bláznivému říká:
17 “[Just as] water which you have stolen tastes very good and food that you eat by yourself tastes the best, [if you have sex secretly with someone to whom you are not married, you will enjoy it very much].”
Voda kradená sladší jest, a chléb pokoutní chutnější.
