King James Bible	Hrvatska Biblija
¹ He that is merciful will lend unto his neighbour; and he that strengtheneth his hand keepeth the commandments.	¹ Milosrđe čini tko uzajmljuje svojem bližnjemu; i tko mu pomaže, vrši zapovijedi.
² Lend to thy neighbour in time of his need, and pay thou thy neighbour again in due season.	² Uzajmljuj bližnjemu kad je u potrebi i opet vraćaj bližnjemu u pravo vrijeme.
³ Keep thy word, and deal faithfully with him, and thou shalt always find the thing that is necessary for thee.	³ Čvrsto drži svoju riječ i budi mu vjeran, pa ćeš u svako vrijeme dobiti što ti treba.
⁴ Many, when a thing was lent them, reckoned it to be found, and put them to trouble that helped them.	⁴ Mnogi smatraju zajam dobitkom i zadaju jad onima koji su im pomogli.
⁵ Till he hath received, he will kiss a man's hand; and for his neighbour's money he will speak submissly: but when he should repay, he will prolong the time, and return words of grief, and complain of the time.	⁵ Dok ne dobije, ruku mu ljubi i ponizno zbori o bogatstvu bližnjega, ali na dan naplate on odgađa rok, udara u jadikovke i krivnju baca na zla vremena.
⁶ If he prevail, he shall hardly receive the half, and he will count as if he had found it: if not, he hath deprived him of his money, and he hath gotten him an enemy without cause: he payeth him with cursings and railings; and for honour he will pay him disgrace.	⁶ Mogne li, vrati jedva polovicu, a i to valja smatrati dobitkom. Ne plati li, valja oteti od njegova – i eto neprijatelja bez potrebe: vraća on kletvama i svađama, umjesto čašću uzvraća prezirom.
⁷ Many therefore have refused to lend for other men's ill dealing, fearing to be defrauded.	⁷ Mnogi se stoga, ne zbog zloće, ustežu davati zajam: boje se da ne budu nezasluženo opljačkani.
⁸ Yet have thou patience with a man in poor estate, and delay not to shew him mercy.	⁸ Ali sa siromahom budi velikodušan i ne pusti ga da čeka na tvoj milodar.
⁹ Help the poor for the commandment's sake, and turn him not away because of his poverty.	⁹ Zbog Božje zapovijedi pomozi siromahu; ako je potrebit, ne pusti ga praznih ruku.
¹⁰ Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend, and let it not rust under a stone to be lost.	¹⁰ Radije izgubi novce na brata ili prijatelja nego da ti propadaju rđajući pod kamenom.
¹¹ Lay up thy treasure according to the commandments of the most High, and it shall bring thee more profit than gold.	¹¹ Uloži blago svoje po zapovijedima Svevišnjega, i bit će ti probitačnije nego samo zlato.
¹² Shut up alms in thy storehouses: and it shall deliver thee from all affliction.	¹² Uloži milostinju u svoje riznice, i ona će te izbaviti od svake nevolje:
¹³ It shall fight for thee against thine enemies better than a mighty shield and strong spear.	¹³ bolje će se boriti za te pred neprijateljem negoli čvrsti štit i teško koplje.
¹⁴ An honest man is surety for his neighbour: but he that is impudent will forsake him.	¹⁴ Dobar čovjek jamči za bližnjega svoga, a tko je izgubio osjećaj stida, ostavlja ga na cjedilu.
¹⁵ Forget not the friendship of thy surety, for he hath given his life for thee.	¹⁵ Ne zaboravljaj jamcu uslugu njegovu, jer je dušu svoju dao za tebe.
¹⁶ A sinner will overthrow the good estate of his surety:	¹⁶ Grešnik se ne brine za dobra jamčeva, i nezahvalnik zaboravlja svojeg izbavitelja.
¹⁷ And he that is of an unthankful mind will leave him [in danger] that delivered him.	¹⁷ Jamčenje je upropastilo mnoge sretne ljude i razbacalo ih kao morske valove.
¹⁸ Suretiship hath undone many of good estate, and shaken them as a wave of the sea: mighty men hath it driven from their houses, so that they wandered among strange nations.	¹⁸ Istjeralo je iz doma ljude bogate, koji onda lutaju među tuđim pucima.
¹⁹ A wicked man transgressing the commandments of the Lord shall fall into suretiship: and he that undertaketh and followeth other men's business for gain shall fall into suits.	¹⁹ Grešnik koji se upušta u jamčenje radi laka dobitka – potpada pod sud.
²⁰ Help thy neighbour according to thy power, and beware that thou thyself fall not into the same.	²⁰ Pomozi bližnjemu koliko god možeš, ali pazi da se i sam ne upropastiš.
²¹ The chief thing for life is water, and bread, and clothing, and an house to cover shame.	²¹ Prve su životne potrebe voda, kruh, odijelo i kuća, da se sram pokrije.
²² Better is the life of a poor man in a mean cottage, than delicate fare in another man's house.	²² Bolje je živjeti siromaški pod krovom od dasaka nego se gostiti gospodski u tuđoj kući.
²³ Be it little or much, hold thee contented, that thou hear not the reproach of thy house.	²³ Budi zadovoljan imao malo ili mnogo, pa nećeš slušati ukore ukućana.
²⁴ For it is a miserable life to go from house to house: for where thou art a stranger, thou darest not open thy mouth.	²⁴ Težak je život ići od kuće do kuće, i gdje god se zaustaviš, ne smiješ usta otvoriti;
²⁵ Thou shalt entertain, and feast, and have no thanks: moreover thou shalt hear bitter words:	²⁵ tuđinac si i poznaj okus poniženja, a osobito zvuk gorkih riječi:
²⁶ Come, thou stranger, and furnish a table, and feed me of that thou hast ready.	²⁶ »Hajde, tuđinče, postavi stol, i ako imaš što, daj mi jesti.«
²⁷ Give place, thou stranger, to an honourable man; my brother cometh to be lodged, and I have need of mine house.	²⁷ »Odlazi, tuđinče, ustupi mjesto časnijemu, dolazi mi brat i treba mi kuća.«
²⁸ These things are grievous to a man of understanding; the upbraiding of houseroom, and reproaching of the lender.	²⁸ Teško je umnu čovjeku kad mu predbace gostoprimstvo i pogrde ga kao vjerovnika.
