Poslovice 13
1 Mudar sin sluša nastavu oca svojega; a potsmjevaè ne sluša ukora.
A wise son listeneth to the instruction of his father; But a scoffer listeneth not to rebuke.
2 Od ploda usta svojih svaki æe jesti dobro, a duša nevaljalijeh ljudi nasilje.
By the fruit of a man's mouth he shall eat good; But the appetite of transgressors shall be sated with violence.
3 Ko èuva usta svoja, èuva svoju dušu; ko razvaljuje usne, propada.
He who keepeth his mouth keepeth his life; But destruction shall be to him who openeth wide his lips.
4 Željna je duša ljenivèeva, ali nema ništa; a duša vrijednijeh ljudi obogatiæe se.
The appetite of the sluggard longeth, and hath nothing; But the appetite of the diligent is fully satisfied.
5 Na lažnu rijeè mrzi pravednik; a bezbožnik se mrazi i sramoti.
A righteous man hateth words of falsehood; But a wicked man causeth disgrace and shame.
6 Pravda èuva onoga koji hodi bezazleno; a bezbožnost obara grješnika.
Righteousness preserveth him who is upright in his way; But wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7 Ima ko se gradi bogat a nema ništa, i ko se gradi siromah a ima veliko blago.
There is who maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing, Who maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
8 Otkup je za život èovjeku bogatstvo njegovo, a siromah ne sluša prijetnje.
A man's wealth is the ransom of his life; But the poor man heareth no threatenings.
9 Vidjelo pravednièko svijetli se, a žižak bezbožnièki ugasiæe se.
The light of the righteous shall rejoice; But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10 Od oholosti biva samo svaða, a koji primaju svjet, u njih je mudrost.
By pride cometh only contention; But with the well-advised is wisdom.
11 Blago koje se taštinom teèe umaljava se, a ko sabira rukom, umnožava.
Wealth gotten by vanity will become small; But he who gathereth it into the hand increaseth it.
12 Dugo nadanje mori srce, i želja je ispunjena drvo životno.
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But the desire accomplished is a tree of life.
13 Ko prezire rijeè sam sebi udi; a ko se boji zapovijesti, platiæe mu se.
He that despiseth the word shall be destroyed; But he who revereth the commandment shall be rewarded.
14 Nauka je mudroga izvor životni da se saèuva prugala smrtnijeh.
The instruction of the wise is a fountain of life; By it men escape from the snares of death.
15 Dobar razum daje ljubav, a put je bezakonièki hrapav.
A good understanding winneth favor; But the way of transgressors is hard.
16 Svaki pametan èovjek radi s razumom, a bezuman raznosi bezumlje.
Every prudent man acteth with knowledge; But a fool spreadeth abroad his folly.
17 Glasnik bezbožan pada u zlo, a vjeran je poslanik lijek.
A wicked messenger falleth into trouble; But a faithful ambassador is health.
18 Siromaštvo i sramota doæi æe na onoga koji odbacuje nastavu; a ko èuva karanje, proslaviæe se.
Poverty and shame are for him who rejecteth instruction; But he that regardeth reproof shall come to honor.
19 Ispunjena je želja slast duši, a bezumnima je mrsko otstupiti oda zla.
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.
20 Ko hodi s mudrima postaje mudar, a ko se druži s bezumnicima postaje gori.
He who walketh with wise men shall be wise; But the companion of fools shall be destroyed.
21 Grješnike goni zlo, a pravednicima se vraæa dobro.
Calamity pursueth the wicked; But the righteous is rewarded with good.
22 Dobar èovjek ostavlja našljedstvo sinovima sinova svojih, a grješnikovo imanje èuva se pravedniku.
The good man leaveth his substance to his children's children; But the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
23 Izobila hrane ima na njivi siromaškoj, a ima ko propada sa zle uprave.
There is much food from the fallow-ground of the poor; But there is who is brought low for want of uprightness.
24 Ko žali prut, mrzi na sina svojega; a ko ga ljubi, kara ga za vremena.
He that spareth the rod hateth his son; But he who loveth him chasteneth him early.
25 Pravednik jede, i sita mu je duša; a trbuh bezbožnicima nema dosta.
The righteous man eateth to the satisfying of his desire; But the stomach of the wicked suffereth want.
