Proverbs 29
1 The man that with a stiff neck despiseth him that reproveth him, shall suddenly be destroyed: and health shall not follow him.
Èovjek koji po karanju ostaje tvrdoglav, ujedanput æe propasti, da neæe biti lijeka.
2 When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn.
Kad se umnožavaju pravednici, veseli se narod; a kad vlada bezbožnik, uzdiše narod.
3 A man that loveth wisdom, rejoiceth his father: but he that maintaineth bar lots, shall squander away his substance.
Ko ljubi mudrost, veseli oca svojega; a ko se druži s kurvama, rasipa svoje dobro.
4 A just king setteth up the land: a covetous man shall destroy it.
Car pravdom podiže zemlju; a ko uzima mito, satire je.
5 A man that speaketh to his friend with flattering and dissembling words, spreadeth a net for his feet.
Ko laska prijatelju svojemu, razapinje mrežu nogama njegovijem.
6 A snare shall entangle the wicked man when he sinneth: and the just shall praise and rejoice.
U grijehu je zla èovjeka zamka, a pravednik pjeva i veseli se.
7 The just taketh notice of the cause of the poor: the wicked is void of knowledge.
Pravednik razumije parbu nevoljnijeh, a bezbožnik ne mari da zna.
8 Corrupt men bring a city to ruin: but wise men turn away wrath.
Potsmjevaèi raspaljuju grad, a mudri utišavaju gnjev.
9 If a wise man contend with a fool, whether he be angry or laugh, he shall find no rest.
Mudar èovjek kad se pre s ludijem, ili se srdio ili smijao, nema mira.
10 Bloodthirsty men hate the upright: but just men seek his soul.
Krvopije mrze na bezazlenoga, a pravi se brinu za dušu njegovu.
11 A fool uttereth all his mind: a wise man deferreth, and keepeth it till afterwards.
Sav gnjev svoj izliva bezumnik, a mudri ustavlja ga natrag.
12 A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked.
Koji knez sluša lažne rijeèi, sve su mu sluge bezbožne.
13 The poor man and the creditor have met one another: the Lord is the enlightener of them both.
Siromah i koji daje na dobit sretaju se; obojici Gospod prosvjetljuje oèi.
14 The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever.
Koji car pravo sudi siromasima, njegov æe prijesto stajati dovijeka.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.
Prut i kar daju mudrost, a dijete pusto sramoti mater svoju.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall.
Kad se umnožavaju bezbožnici, umnožavaju se grijesi, a pravednici æe vidjeti propast njihovu.
17 Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.
Karaj sina svojega, i smiriæe te, i uèiniæe milinu duši tvojoj.
18 When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed.
Kad nema utvare, rasipa se narod; a ko drži zakon, blago njemu!
19 A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.
Rijeèima se ne popravlja sluga, jer ako i razumije, opet ne sluša.
20 Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment.
Jesi li vidio èovjeka nagla u besjedi svojoj? više ima nadanja od bezumna nego od njega.
21 He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn.
Ako ko mazi slugu od malena, on æe najposlije biti sin.
22 A passionate man provoketh quarrels: and he that is easily stirred up to wrath, shall be more prone to sin.
Gnjevljiv èovjek zameæe svaðu, i ko je naprasit, mnogo griješi.
23 Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit.
Oholost ponižuje èovjeka, a ko je smjeran duhom, dobija slavu.
24 He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not.
Ko dijeli s lupežem, mrzi na svoju dušu, èuje prokletstvo i ne prokazuje.
25 He that feareth man, shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high.
Strašiv èovjek meæe sebi zamku; a ko se u Gospoda uzda, biæe u visokom zaklonu.
26 Many seek the face of the prince: but the judgment of every one cometh forth from the Lord.
Mnogi traže lice vladaoèevo, ali je od Gospoda sud svakome.
27 The just abhor the wicked man: and the wicked loathe them that are in the right way. The son that keepeth the word, shall be free from destruction.
Pravednima je mrzak nepravednik, a bezbožniku je mrzak ko pravo hodi.
