Catholic Public Domain Bible	Hrvatska Biblija
¹ Blessed is the man who has not slipped because of a word from his mouth, and who has not been stung by grief because of an offense.	¹ Blago čovjeku koji nije zgriješio riječima i koga ne muči grižnja zbog grijeha.
² Happy is he who does not have sadness in his mind, and who has not fallen away from his hope.	² Blago čovjeku koga ne optužuje vlastita savjest i koji se nije odrekao nade.
³ Substance is senseless for a greedy and stingy man. And what would a spiteful man do with gold?	³ Tvrdici ne priliči bogatstvo, i čemu veliko blago pohlepniku?
⁴ Whoever acquires unjustly, according to his own mind, gathers for others. For another will spend his goods lavishly.	⁴ Tko uskraćuje sebi, sabire drugomu, i tuđinci će se naslađivati dobrima njegovim.
⁵ Whoever is wicked to himself, to whom will he be good? For he will not take enjoyment in his own goods.	⁵ Tko je tvrd prema sebi, komu će biti dobar? Takav ne uživa ni u vlastitom dobru.
⁶ Whoever has ill will toward himself, nothing is more worthless than he is. But such is the reward of his wickedness.	⁶ Nema okrutnijeg od onoga tko muči samog sebe: to mu je plaća za vlastitu zloću.
⁷ And if he does good, he does it ignorantly and unwillingly. And in the very end, he realizes his own malice.	⁷ Pa ako i čini dobro, čini nenamjerno i na koncu otkriva svoju zloću.
⁸ The eye of the spiteful man is wicked, and he averts his face and despises his own soul.	⁸ Zavidljivac je opak: on odvraća pogled i prezire tuđi život.
⁹ The eye of the greedy man is insatiable in his portion of iniquity. He will not be satisfied until he has consumed his own soul, withering it away.	⁹ Premalen je oku lakomu vlastiti dio, pohlepa isušuje dušu.
¹⁰ An evil eye is directed at evil things. And he will not be satisfied by bread; instead, he will be needy and grieving at his own table.	¹⁰ Tvrdičino oko hlepi za kruhom i glad je za njegovim stolom.
¹¹ Son, if you have anything, do good to yourself, and offer worthy oblations to God.	¹¹ Sine moj, imaš li štogod, priušti sebi i prinesi Gospodu dostojne žrtve.
¹² Remember that death has not been delayed, and that the covenant of the grave has been revealed to you. For the covenant of this world will pass away in death.	¹² Ne zaboravi da smrt neće oklijevati i da ti nije objavljen ugovor podzemlja.
¹³ Do good to your friend before you die. And according to your ability, extend your hand and give to the poor.	¹³ Prije nego umreš, čini dobro prijatelju, i pruži, daj mu koliko možeš.
¹⁴ Do not cheat yourself out of a good day, and do not let the smallest good gift pass you by.	¹⁴ Ne uskraćuj sebi sadašnje sreće i ne daj da ti izmakne dio dopuštena užitka.
¹⁵ Should you not leave it to others to divide your sorrows and labors by lot?	¹⁵ Nećeš li ostaviti blago svoje drugomu i neće li zaslužba tvoja biti ždrijebom razdijeljena?
¹⁶ Give, and receive, and justify your soul.	¹⁶ Podari i primi i okusi užitak, jer se u podzemlju radost ne traži.
¹⁷ Before your passing, accomplish justice. For in death, there is no food to be found.	¹⁷ Sve se živo troši kao i odjeća, i vječna je uredba: valja umrijeti.
¹⁸ All flesh grows old like the grass, and like the foliage that springs forth from a green tree.	¹⁸ Kao lišće što raste na bujnu drvetu te jedno opada a drugo niče, tako i naraštaji od krvi i mesa: jedni umiru, a drugi se rađaju.
¹⁹ Some spring up, and others fall away. Such is the generation of flesh and blood. One is finished, and another is born.	¹⁹ I svako prolazno djelo propada, a zajedno s njim i njegov tvorac.
²⁰ Every corruptible work will fail in the end. And its worker will go with it.	²⁰ Blago čovjeku koji razmišlja o mudrosti i umuje razborito,
²¹ But every excellent work will be justified. And whoever worked it will be honored by it.	²¹ koji u srcu svojem proučava njezine putove i posvećuje se u njezine tajne.
²² Blessed is the man who will abide in wisdom, and who will meditate on her righteousness, and who, in his mind, will consider the circumspection of God.	²² On je progoni kao lovac i vreba je kraj staze njezine;
²³ He considers her ways in his heart, and he finds understanding in her secrets. He goes after her like an investigator, and he is constant in her ways.	²³ on viri kroz prozor njezin i prisluškuje na vratima njezinim;
²⁴ He gazes through her windows, and he listens at her door.	²⁴ postavlja se blizu kuće njezine i udara klin svoj u njezin zid;
²⁵ He rests next to her house, and, fastening a peg in her walls, he sets up his cottage by her hands. And so, good things will find rest in his cottage as time passes.	²⁵ podiže svoj šator kraj nje i nastanjuje se u sretnu počivalištu;
²⁶ He will station his sons under her covering, and he will abide under her branches.	²⁶ on stavlja djecu svoju pod njezinu zaštitu i boravi pod granjem njezinim;
²⁷ He will be protected by her covering from the heat, and he will rest in her glory.	²⁷ on nalazi okrilje od žege pod sjenom njezinom i prebiva u divoti njezinoj.
