Knjiga Sirahova 3

Biblija Hrvatski	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Djeco, slušajte mene, oca svoga, i radite tako da se spasite.	1 Hear me your father, O children, and do thereafter, that ye may be safe.
2 Jer Gospod slavi oca u djeci njegovoj i učvršćuje pravo majke nad sinovima njezinim.	2 For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons.
3 Tko štuje oca, okajava grijehe svoje,	3 Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins:
4 i tko časti majku svoju, sabire blago.	4 And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up treasure.
5 Tko štuje oca, radovat će se sa svoje djece i bit će uslišen u dan molitve svoje.	5 Whoso honoureth his father shall have joy of his own children; and when he maketh his prayer, he shall be heard.
6 Tko časti oca svojeg, dugo živi; tko čini radost majci svojoj, sluša Gospoda.	6 He that honoureth his father shall have a long life; and he that is obedient unto the Lord shall be a comfort to his mother.
7 On služi roditeljima svojim kao svojim gospodarima.	7 He that feareth the Lord will honour his father, and will do service unto his parents, as to his masters.
8 Sine moj, riječju i djelom štuj oca svoga da te od njega stigne blagoslov.	8 Honour thy father and mother both in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon thee from them.
9 Jer blagoslov očev učvršćuje kuću djeci, a majčina kletva temelje im ruši.	9 For the blessing of the father establisheth the houses of children; but the curse of the mother rooteth out foundations.
10 Ne traži časti u sramoti oca svojeg, jer ti očeva sramota nije na čast.	10 Glory not in the dishonour of thy father; for thy father's dishonour is no glory unto thee.
11 Jer čovjeku dolazi čast od počasti oca njegova, a prezrena majka sramota je djeci.	11 For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father; and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the children.
12 Sine moj, pomozi oca svoga u starosti i ne žalosti ga za života njegova.	12 My son, help thy father in his age, and grieve him not as long as he liveth.
13 Ako mu i razum klone, budi blag s njime i ne grdi ga ti, koji si u punoj snazi.	13 And if his understanding fail, have patience with him; and despise him not when thou art in thy full strength.
14 Jer, ne zaboravlja se milost prema ocu, već se uračunava u oprost grijeha.	14 For the relieving of thy father shall not be forgotten: and instead of sins it shall be added to build thee up.
15 U danima tvoje nevolje Gospod će te se sjetiti: kao što se led topi na suncu, tako će se iskopnjeti tvoji grijesi.	15 In the day of thine affliction it shall be remembered; thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather.
16 Od hulitelja nije bolji tko prezire oca, i Gospod proklinje onoga tko vrijeđa majku.	16 He that forsaketh his father is as a blasphemer; and he that angereth his mother is cursed: of God.
17 Sine moj, budi krotak u poslu svojem, i bit ćeš voljeniji nego onaj koji darove dijeli.	17 My son, go on with thy business in meekness; so shalt thou be beloved of him that is approved.
18 Što si veći, to se većma ponizi, da nađeš milost u Gospoda.	18 The greater thou art, the more humble thyself, and thou shalt find favour before the Lord.
19 Jer veliko je milosrđe Božje i poniznima otkriva tajnu svoju.	19 Many are in high place, and of renown: but mysteries are revealed unto the meek.
20 Iako je velika moć Gospoda, on prima počast poniznih.	20 For the power of the Lord is great, and he is honoured of the lowly.
21 Ne idi za onim što ti je previsoko i ne istražuj ono što je iznad tvojih snaga.	21 Seek not out things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are above thy strength.
22 Trsi se duhom svojim oko onoga što ti je dano i ne bavi se pojavama otajstvenim.	22 But what is commanded thee, think thereupon with reverence, for it is not needful for thee to see with thine eyes the things that are in secret.
23 Ne trudi se oko onog što je iznad tvoje snage, jer i ono čemu su te učili već je pregolemo za um ljudski.	23 Be not curious in unnecessary matters: for more things are shewed unto thee than men understand.
24 Mnoge već zavede njihova umišljenost, i opaka uobraženost iskrivi im misli.	24 For many are deceived by their own vain opinion; and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment.
	25 Without eyes thou shalt want light: profess not the knowledge therefore that thou hast not.
26 Tvrdokorno srce u zlu završava, i tko pogibelj ljubi, u njoj i propada.	26 A stubborn heart shall fare evil at the last; and he that loveth danger shall perish therein.
27 Tvrdokorno srce oteščalo je od nevolja, i grešnik gomila grijeh na grijeh.	27 An obstinate heart shall be laden with sorrows; and the wicked man shall heap sin upon sin.
28 Nema lijeka bolesti oholnika, jer se opačina u njem ukorijenila.	28 In the punishment of the proud there is no remedy; for the plant of wickedness hath taken root in him.
29 Srce razborita čovjeka razmišlja o izrekama, i pažljivo uho san je mudracu.	29 The heart of the prudent will understand a parable; and an attentive ear is the desire of a wise man.
30 Kao što voda gasi uzbuktali oganj, tako i milosrđe čisti od grijeha.	30 Water will quench a flaming fire; and alms maketh an atonement for sins.
31 Tko dobročinstva uzvraća, misli na budućnost, i u času svojeg pada naći će potporu.	31 And he that requiteth good turns is mindful of that which may come hereafter; and when he falleth, he shall find a stay.
