Knjiga Mudrosti 7

Biblija Hrvatski	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 I ja sam smrtnik, kao i svi ostali, i potomak prvog bića od zemlje načinjena i oblikovan kao tijelo u utrobi majčinoj,	1 I myself also am a mortal man, like to all, and the offspring of him that was first made of the earth,
2 u deset mjeseci, stisnut u krvi, iz sjemena muževljeva i slasti družice u spavanju.	2 And in my mother's womb was fashioned to be flesh in the time of ten months, being compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure that came with sleep.
3 I ja sam, došavši na svijet, udahnuo zajednički zrak i pao na zemlju koja nas sve nosi, i plač mi je bio prvi glas kao i svima ostalima.	3 And when I was born, I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth, which is of like nature, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do.
4 U pelenama bijah odgajan i u brigama,	4 I was nursed in swaddling clothes, and that with cares.
5 jer nijedan kralj nije drukčije postao niti na svijet došao.	5 For there is no king that had any other beginning of birth.
6 Jer za sve postoji jedan ulazak u život, a tako i jedan izlazak.	6 For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.
7 Zato se pomolih i razbor dobih; zavapih i primih duh mudrosti.	7 Wherefore I prayed, and understanding was given me: I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.
8 Zavoljeh je više nego žezla i prijestolja i ništa ne cijenih bogatstvo u usporedbi s njom.	8 I preferred her before sceptres and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her.
9 Nisam je htio uspoređivati ni sa draguljima, jer je sve zlato pred njom kao malo pijeska, a srebro je prema njoj kao blato.	9 Neither compared I unto her any precious stone, because all gold in respect of her is as a little sand, and silver shall be counted as clay before her.
10 Ljubio sam je više od zdravlja i ljepote i zavolio više od svjetlosti, jer njezin sjaj bez prestanka svijetli.	10 I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for the light that cometh from her never goeth out.
11 A s njome su mi došla sva dobra i od ruku njezinih blago nebrojeno.	11 All good things together came to me with her, and innumerable riches in her hands.
12 I svemu sam se tome radovao, jer mudrost sve donosi; još nisam znao da je ona roditeljka svega toga.	12 And I rejoiced in them all, because wisdom goeth before them: and I knew not that she was the mother of them.
13 I ono što naučih bez primisli, to bez zavisti predajem, bogatstva njezina ne skrivam.	13 I learned diligently, and do communicate her liberally: I do not hide her riches.
14 Ona je neiscrpljiva riznica ljudima, i koji se njome služe, postaju prijatelji Božji, preporučeni darovima njezina nauka.	14 For she is a treasure unto men that never faileth: which they that use become the friends of God, being commended for the gifts that come from learning.
15 Zato neka mi dade Bog govoriti kako me svjetova i misliti misli dostojne darova njegovih, jer on je vođa mudrosti i upravlja mudracima.	15 God hath granted me to speak as I would, and to conceive as is meet for the things that are given me: because it is he that leadeth unto wisdom, and directeth the wise.
16 U njegovoj smo ruci mi i riječi naše, sa svim našim razborom i umijećem.	16 For in his hand are both we and our words; all wisdom also, and knowledge of workmanship.
17 On mi je podario istinsku znanost o svemu što jest, naučio me sustavu svijeta i svojstvima prapočela;	17 For he hath given me certain knowledge of the things that are, namely, to know how the world was made, and the operation of the elements:
18 početku, svršetku i sredini vremena, izmjeni suncovrata i slijedu godišnjih doba,	18 The beginning, ending, and midst of the times: the alterations of the turning of the sun, and the change of seasons:
19 tijeku godina i položaju zvijezda;	19 The circuits of years, and the positions of stars:
20 naravi životinja i nagonima divljih zvijeri, moći duhova i mislima ljudskim, različnosti biljaka i ljekovitosti korijenja.	20 The natures of living creatures, and the furies of wild beasts: the violence of winds, and the reasonings of men: the diversities of plants and the virtues of roots:
21 I spoznadoh sve što god je tajno i javno, jer me poučavaše mudrost, umjetnica u svemu.	21 And all such things as are either secret or manifest, them I know.
22 Jer u nje je duh razborit, svet, jedinstven, mnogostran, tanan, okretan, pronicav, neoskvrnjen, jasan, nepristran, dobrohotan, oštar	22 For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me: for in her is an understanding spirit holy, one only, manifold, subtil, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that is good quick, which cannot be letted, ready to do good,
23 nezaprečiv, dobrotvoran, čovjekoljubiv, postojan, pouzdan, bezbrižan, svemoćan, svenadzoran, što prodire kroza sve duše, mudre, čiste i najtanje.	23 Kind to man, steadfast, sure, free from care, having all power, overseeing all things, and going through all understanding, pure, and most subtil, spirits.
24 Jer je mudrost gibljivija od svakog gibanja, ona proniče i prožima sve svojom čistoćom.	24 For wisdom is more moving than any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness.
25 Jer je ona dah sile Božje i čist odvir slave Svemogućeg; zato je ništa nečisto ne može oskvrnuti.	25 For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her.
26 Ona je odsjev vječne svjetlosti i zrcalo čisto djela Božjeg, i slika dobrote njegove.	26 For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of his goodness.
27 Jedna je, a može sve, i, ostajući u sebi, sve obnavlja. Ona prelazi od naraštaja do naraštaja u duše svete i čini od njih Božje prijatelje i proroke.	27 And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself, she maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, she maketh them friends of God, and prophets.
28 Jer Bog ne ljubi nikoga osim onoga tko se druži s mudrošću.	28 For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom.
29 Ona je od sunca sjajnija i nad sve zviježđe uzvišena; uspoređena sa svjetlošću, ona je nadmašuje:	29 For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it.
30 jer svjetlost ustupa mjesto noći, dok zloća nema moći protiv mudrosti.	30 For after this cometh night: but vice shall not prevail against wisdom.
