Wisdom 8

KING JAMES BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Wisdom reacheth from one end to another mightily: and sweetly doth she order all things.	1 Njena se snaga prostire s jednoga kraja svijeta na drugi i blagotvorno upravlja svemirom.
2 I loved her, and sought her out from my youth, I desired to make her my spouse, and I was a lover of her beauty.	2 Nju zavoljeh i za njom čeznuh od svoje mladosti; i nastojah da mi bude zaručnica i zaljubih se u ljepotu njezinu.
3 In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her.	3 Njezina životna prisnost s Bogom podaruje sjaj njezinu plemenitom podrijetlu jer je ljubi gospodar svemira.
4 For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works.	4 Ona je povjerenica znanja Božjeg, izbiračica djela njegovih.
5 If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that worketh all things?	5 Ako je bogatstvo blago poželjno u ovom životu, što je onda bogatije od mudrosti koja sve stvara?
6 And if prudence work; who of all that are is a more cunning workman than she?	6 Ako opet razum stvara, tko je na svijetu od nje veći umjetnik?
7 And if a man love righteousness her labours are virtues: for she teacheth temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude: which are such things, as en can have nothing more profitable in their life.	7 Ako li pak tko ljubi pravednost, pa, kreposti su plodovi njezinih napora: ona poučava umjerenosti i razboritosti, pravednosti i hrabrosti, od kojih u životu nema ništa korisnije ljudima.
8 If a man desire much experience, she knoweth things of old, and conjectureth aright what is to come: she knoweth the subtilties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences: she foreseeth signs and wonders, and the events of seasons and times.	8 Ako li tko čezne za većim znanjem, ona poznaje prošlost i proriče budućnost, vična je izrekama i umije odgonetati zagonetke. Ona znade unaprijed znake i čudesa i slijed razdoblja i vremena.
9 Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, knowing that she would be a counsellor of good things, and a comfort in cares and grief.	9 Zato odlučih dovesti je kao družicu životnu, znajući da će mi biti savjetnica u sreći i tješiteljica u brigama i tuzi.
10 For her sake I shall have estimation among the multitude, and honour with the elders, though I be young.	10 Po njoj ću steći slavu u mnoštvu narodnom, još kao mladić čast pred starcima.
11 I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of great men.	11 Na sudu će se vidjeti kako sam oštrouman i divit će mi se velikaši kad stanem pred njih.
12 When I hold my tongue, they shall bide my leisure, and when I speak, they shall give good ear unto me: if I talk much, they shall lay their hands upon their mouth.	12 Čekat će me kad budem šutio i slušat će me kad prozborim; ako se odulji govor moj, držat će ruku na svojim ustima.
13 Moreover by the means of her I shall obtain immortality, and leave behind me an everlasting memorial to them that come after me.	13 Po njoj ću zadobiti besmrtnost i ostavit ću vječni spomen rodu budućem.
14 I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be subject unto me.	14 Vladat ću pucima i narodi će mi biti podložni.
15 Horrible tyrants shall be afraid, when they do but hear of me; I shall be found good among the multitude, and valiant in war.	15 Pobojat će se strašni silnici kad čuju za me, s narodom ću svojim biti dobrostiv i hrabar u ratu.
16 After I am come into mine house, I will repose myself with her: for her conversation hath no bitterness; and to live with her hath no sorrow, but mirth and joy.	16 Kada se vratim kući, tad ću počinuti kraj nje, jer u drugovanju s njome nema gorčine i nema bola u zajedništvu s njom, već samo užitak i radost.
17 Now when I considered these things in myself, and pondered them in my heart, how that to be allied unto wisdom is immortality;	17 Kad sam tako sve u sebi razmislio i srcem svojim razabrao da je besmrtnost u srodstvu s mudrošću
18 And great pleasure it is to have her friendship; and in the works of her hands are infinite riches; and in the exercise of conference with her, prudence; and in talking with her, a good report; I went about seeking how to take her to me.	18 i da je u ljubavi njezinoj radost čista i u djelima ruku njezinih blago neiscrpno, i razboritost u izmjeni misli s njome i slava u zajedništvu riječi njezinih, stao sam tad okolo hoditi i nastojati kako bih je zadobio.
19 For I was a witty child, and had a good spirit.	19 Ja bijah mladić sretne naravi i imao sam dobru dušu,
20 Yea rather, being good, I came into a body undefiled.	20 ili bolje: jer bijah dobar, ušao sam u tijelo bez ljage.
21 Nevertheless, when I perceived that I could not otherwise obtain her, except God gave her me; and that was a point of wisdom also to know whose gift she was; I prayed unto the Lord, and besought him, and with my whole heart I said,	21 A znajući da neću mudrost zadobiti ako ne dâ Bog – a razboritost je već bila znati čiji je ona dar – pristupih Gospodu i pomolih se i svim srcem svojim rekoh:
