Proverbs 29
1 A man often reproved, hardening the neck, Is suddenly broken, and there is no healing.
Èovjek koji po karanju ostaje tvrdoglav, ujedanput æe propasti, da neæe biti lijeka.
2 In the multiplying of the righteous the people rejoice, And in the ruling of the wicked the people sigh.
Kad se umnožavaju pravednici, veseli se narod; a kad vlada bezbožnik, uzdiše narod.
3 A man loving wisdom rejoiceth his father, And a friend of harlots destroyeth wealth.
Ko ljubi mudrost, veseli oca svojega; a ko se druži s kurvama, rasipa svoje dobro.
4 A king by judgment establisheth a land, And one receiving gifts throweth it down.
Car pravdom podiže zemlju; a ko uzima mito, satire je.
5 A man taking a portion above his neighbour, Spreadeth a net for his own steps.
Ko laska prijatelju svojemu, razapinje mrežu nogama njegovijem.
6 In the transgression of the evil [is] a snare, And the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
U grijehu je zla èovjeka zamka, a pravednik pjeva i veseli se.
7 The righteous knoweth the plea of the poor, The wicked understandeth not knowledge.
Pravednik razumije parbu nevoljnijeh, a bezbožnik ne mari da zna.
8 Men of scorning ensnare a city, And the wise turn back anger.
Potsmjevaèi raspaljuju grad, a mudri utišavaju gnjev.
9 A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he hath been angry, And he hath laughed, and there is no rest.
Mudar èovjek kad se pre s ludijem, ili se srdio ili smijao, nema mira.
10 Men of blood hate the perfect, And the upright seek his soul.
Krvopije mrze na bezazlenoga, a pravi se brinu za dušu njegovu.
11 A fool bringeth out all his mind, And the wise till afterwards restraineth it.
Sav gnjev svoj izliva bezumnik, a mudri ustavlja ga natrag.
12 A ruler who is attending to lying words, All his ministers [are] wicked.
Koji knez sluša lažne rijeèi, sve su mu sluge bezbožne.
13 The poor and the man of frauds have met together, Jehovah is enlightening the eyes of them both.
Siromah i koji daje na dobit sretaju se; obojici Gospod prosvjetljuje oèi.
14 a king that is judging truly the poor, His throne for ever is established.
Koji car pravo sudi siromasima, njegov æe prijesto stajati dovijeka.
15 A rod and reproof give wisdom, And a youth let away is shaming his mother.
Prut i kar daju mudrost, a dijete pusto sramoti mater svoju.
16 In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth, And the righteous on their fall do look.
Kad se umnožavaju bezbožnici, umnožavaju se grijesi, a pravednici æe vidjeti propast njihovu.
17 Chastise thy son, and he giveth thee comfort, Yea, he giveth delights to thy soul.
Karaj sina svojega, i smiriæe te, i uèiniæe milinu duši tvojoj.
18 Without a Vision is a people made naked, And whoso is keeping the law, O his happiness!
Kad nema utvare, rasipa se narod; a ko drži zakon, blago njemu!
19 By words a servant is not instructed though he understand, And there is nothing answering.
Rijeèima se ne popravlja sluga, jer ako i razumije, opet ne sluša.
20 Thou hast seen a man hasty in his words! More hope of a fool than of him.
Jesi li vidio èovjeka nagla u besjedi svojoj? više ima nadanja od bezumna nego od njega.
21 Whoso is bringing up his servant delicately, from youth, [At] his latter end also he is continuator.
Ako ko mazi slugu od malena, on æe najposlije biti sin.
22 An angry man stirreth up contention, And a furious man is multiplying transgression.
Gnjevljiv èovjek zameæe svaðu, i ko je naprasit, mnogo griješi.
23 The pride of man humbleth him, And humility of spirit upholdeth honour.
Oholost ponižuje èovjeka, a ko je smjeran duhom, dobija slavu.
24 Whoso is sharing with a thief is hating his own soul, Execration he heareth, and telleth not.
Ko dijeli s lupežem, mrzi na svoju dušu, èuje prokletstvo i ne prokazuje.
25 Fear of man causeth a snare, And the confident in Jehovah is set on high.
Strašiv èovjek meæe sebi zamku; a ko se u Gospoda uzda, biæe u visokom zaklonu.
26 Many are seeking the face of a ruler, And from Jehovah [is] the judgment of each.
Mnogi traže lice vladaoèevo, ali je od Gospoda sud svakome.
27 An abomination to the righteous [is] the perverse man, And an abomination to the wicked [is] the upright in the way!
Pravednima je mrzak nepravednik, a bezbožniku je mrzak ko pravo hodi.
