Knjiga Mudrosti 10

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Ona je štitila prvooblikovanog oca svijeta, koji je stvoren sâm, istrgla ga iz grijeha njegova	1 She preseved him, that was first formed by God the father of the world, when he was created alone,
2 i dala mu jakost da vlada svemirom.	2 And she brought him out of his sin, and gave him power to govern all things.
3 A kad se u jarosti svojoj grešnik odmetnu od nje, poginu u mržnji svojoj bratoubilačkoj.	3 But when the unjust went away from her in his anger, he perished by the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.
4 I kad je zemlju zbog njega potop stigao, opet ju je mudrost spasila brodeći s pravednikom na krhkom drvetu.	4 For whose cause, when water destroyed the earth, wisdom healed it again, directing the course of the just by contemptible wood.
5 I kada se, složni u opačini svojoj, narodi bijahu pomutili, ona je našla pravednika i sačuvala ga Bogu nezazorna i uzdržala jačim od ljubavi prema djetetu.	5 Moreover when the nations had conspired together to consent to wickedness, she knew the just, and preserved him without blame to God, and kept him strong against the compassion for his son.
6 Kad su bezbožnici izgibali, ona je izbavila pravednika koji je bježao od ognja što je s neba pao na pet gradova.	6 She delivered the just man who fled from the wicked that were perishing, when the fire came down upon Pentapolis:
7 O opačini njihovoj još svjedoči pustoš puna dima i bilje kojemu plod nikad ne sazrijeva i stup od soli što stoji kao spomenik duši nevjernoj.	7 Whose land for a testimony of their wickedness is desolate, and smoketh to this day, and the trees bear fruits that ripen not, and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an incredulous soul.
8 I jer nisu slijedili puta mudrosti, izgubili su spoznaju o dobru i još ostavili svijetu spomenik svoje ludosti da se ne mogahu sakriti zlodjela njihova.	8 For regarding not wisdom, they did not only slip in this, that they were ignorant of good things, but they left also unto men a memorial of their folly, so that in the things in which they sinned, they could not so much as lie hid.
9 A mudrost je vjernike svoje spasila od nevolje.	9 But wisdom hath delivered from sorrow them that attend upon her.
10 Kad je pravednik bježao ispred jarosti bratove, ona ga je vodila pravim stazama; pokazala mu Božje kraljevstvo i podarila mu znanje o svetinjama; uspjehom okrunila napore njegove i umnožila plodove truda njegova.	10 She conducted the just, when he fled from his brother's wrath, through the right ways, and shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him the knowledge of the holy things, made him honourable in his labours, and accomplished his labours.
11 Kad su ga pritijesnili lakomci, pomogla ga je i obdarila bogatstvom,	11 In the deceit of them that overreached him, she stood by him, and made him honourable.
12 sačuvala ga od neprijatelja i zaštitila ga od zasjeda, darovala mu pobjedu u žestokom boju da spozna kako je bogobojaznost od svega jača.	12 She kept him safe from his enemies, and she defended him from seducers, and gave him a strong conflict, that he might overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all.
13 Ona nije ostavila prodanog pravednika, nego ga je čuvala od grijeha.	13 She forsook not the just when he was sold, but delivered him from sinners: she went down with him into the pit.
14 S njime je u tamnicu sišla te ga ni u okovima nije zapustila dok mu nije donijela žezlo kraljevsko i vlast nad onima koji ga tlačiše i nagnala u laž one koji ga kaljahu, a njemu dala slavu vječnu.	14 And in bands she left him not, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: and shewed them to be liars that had accused him, and gave him everlasting glory.
15 Ona je spasila sveti puk i rod besprijekorni od vlasti naroda mučiteljskog.	15 She delivered the just people, and blameless seed from the nations that oppressed them.
16 Ušla je u dušu sluge Gospodnjeg, i on se strašnim kraljevima opro čudesima i znacima.	16 She entered into the soul of the servant of God, and stood against dreadful kings in wonders and signs.
17 Ona je dala plaću svetima za njihove trude i vodila ih putem čudesnim, danju im bila zaklon od žege i noću zvjezdani sjaj.	17 And she rendered to the just the wages of their labours, and conducted them in a wonderful way: and she was to them for a covert by day, and for the light of stars by night:
18 Provela ih preko Mora crvenog, provela ih je preko vode velike,	18 And she brought them through the Red Sea, and carried them over through a great water.
19 a neprijatelje njihove valovima potopila i onda ih izbacila iz dubina bezdana.	19 But their enemies she drowned in the sea, and from the depth of hell she brought them out. Therefore the just took the spoils of the wicked.
20 Zato su pravednici oplijenili bezbožnike i pjesmom proslavili tvoje sveto ime, Gospode, jednodušno opjevali tvoju ruku zaštitnicu.	20 And they sung to thy holy name, O Lord, and they praised with one accord thy victorious hand.
21 Jer je mudrost otvorila usta nijemima i obdarila djecu nejaku jezikom rječitim.	21 For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of infants eloquent.
