1 Čuvaj, sine, riječi moje, i pohrani moje zapovijedi kod sebe.1 My son, keep my words, and treasure my commands.
2 Čuvaj moje zapovijedi, i bit ćeš živ,
i nauk moj kao zjenicu oka svoga.
2 Keep my commands and live, my teaching as the apple of your eye;
3 Priveži ih sebi na prste,
upiši ih na ploči srca svoga;
3 Bind them on your fingers, write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 reci mudrosti: »Moja si sestra«
i razboritost nazovi »sestričnom«,
4 Say to Wisdom, "You are my sister!" call Understanding, "Friend!"
5 da te čuva od žene preljubnice,
od tuđinke koja laskavo govori.
5 That they may keep you from another's wife, from the adulteress with her smooth words.
6 Kad bijah jednom na prozoru svoje kuće
i gledah van kroz rešetku,
6 For at the window of my house, through my lattice I looked out--
7 vidjeh među lakovjernima,
opazih među momcima nerazumna mladića:
7 And I saw among the simple ones, I observed among the young men, a youth with no sense,
8 prolazio je ulicom kraj njezina ugla
i koracao putem k njezinoj kući,
8 Going along the street near the corner, then walking in the direction of her house--
9 u sumraku između dana i večeri
kad se hvata noćna tmina;
9 In the twilight, at dusk of day, at the time of the dark of night.
10 i gle, susrete ga žena,
bludno odjevena i s prijevarom u srcu.
10 And lo! the woman comes to meet him, robed like a harlot, with secret designs--
11 Jogunasta bijaše i razuzdana,
noge joj se nisu mogle u kući zadržati;
11 She is fickle and unruly, in her home her feet cannot rest;
12 bila je čas na ulici, čas na trgovima
i vrebala kod svakog ugla;
12 Now she is in the streets, now in the open squares, and at every corner she lurks in ambush--
13 i uhvati ga i poljubi,
i reče mu bezobrazna lica:
13 When she seizes him, she kisses him, and with an impudent look says to him:
14 »Bila sam dužna žrtvu pričesnicu,
i danas izvrših svoj zavjet;
14 "I owed peace offerings, and today I have fulfilled my vows;
15 zato sam ti izašla ususret,
da te tražim, i nađoh te.
15 So I came out to meet you, to look for you, and I have found you!
16 Svoju sam postelju nastrla sagovima,
vezenim pokrivačima misirskim;
16 With coverlets I have spread my couch, with brocaded cloths of Egyptian linen;
17 svoj sam krevet namirisala
smirnom, alojem i cimetom.
17 I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, with aloes, and with cinnamon.
18 Hajde da se opijamo nasladom do jutra
i da se radujemo užicima ljubavi.
18 "Come, let us drink our fill of love, until morning, let us feast on love!
19 Jer muža mi nema kod kuće:
otišao je na dalek put;
19 For my husband is not at home, he has gone on a long journey;
20 uzeo je sa sobom novčani tobolac;
a vratit će se kući tek o uštapu.«
20 A bag of money he took with him, not till the full moon will he return home."
21 Tako ga zavede svojim vičnim nagovorom,
odvuče ga svojim glatkim usnama.
21 She wins him over by her repeated urging, with her smooth lips she leads him astray;
22 I ludo on pođe za njom,
kao što vol ide na klaonicu
i kao što jelen zapleten u mrežu čeka
22 He follows her stupidly, like an ox that is led to slaughter; Like a stag that minces toward the net,
23 dok mu strijela ne probije jetra,
i kao ptica što slijeće u zamku,
i ne znajući da će je to života stajati.
23 till an arrow pierces its liver; Like a bird that rushes into a snare, unaware that its life is at stake.
24 Zato me, sine moj, poslušaj
i čuj riječi mojih usta.
24 So now, O children, listen to me, be attentive to the words of my mouth!
25 Nek’ ti srce ne zastranjuje na njezine putove,
i ne lutaj po njezinim stazama.
25 Let not your heart turn to her ways, go not astray in her paths;
26 Jer je mnoge smrtno ranila i oborila,
i mnogo je onih što ih je pobila.
26 For many are those she has struck down dead, numerous, those she has slain.
27 U podzemlje vode putovi kroz njenu kuću,
dolje u odaje smrti.
27 Her house is made up of ways to the nether world, leading down into the chambers of death.
