WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Kad sedneš da jedeš s gospodinom, pazi dobro šta je pred tobom.
1 When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you;
2 Inače bi saterao sebi nož u grlo, ako bi bio lakom.
2 put a knife to your throat if you are a man given to appetite.
3 Ne želi preslačke njegove, jer su lažna hrana.
3 Don’t be desirous of his dainties, since they are deceitful food.
4 Ne muči se da se obogatiš, i prođi se svoje mudrosti.
4 Don’t weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint.
5 Hoćeš li baciti oči svoje na ono čega brzo nestaje? Jer načini sebi krila i kao orao odleti u nebo.
5 Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.
6 Ne jedi hleba u zavidljivca, i ne želi preslačaka njegovih.
6 Don’t eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, and don’t crave his delicacies,
7 Jer kako on tebe ceni u duši svojoj tako ti jelo njegovo. Govoriće ti: Jedi i pij; ali srce njegovo nije s tobom.
7 for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
8 Zalogaj što pojedeš izbljuvaćeš, i izgubićeš ljubazne reči svoje.
8 You will vomit up the morsel which you have eaten and waste your pleasant words.
9 Pred bezumnim ne govori, jer neće mariti za mudrost besede tvoje.
9 Don’t speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Ne pomiči stare međe, i ne stupaj na njivu siročadi.
10 Don’t move the ancient boundary stone. Don’t encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
11 Jer je jak osvetnik njihov; braniće stvar njihovu od tebe.
11 for their Defender is strong. He will plead their case against you.
12 Obrati k nauci srce svoje i uši svoje k rečima mudrim.
12 Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to the words of knowledge.
13 Ne uskraćuj kar detetu; kad ga biješ prutom, neće umreti.
13 Don’t withhold correction from a child. If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.
14 Ti ga bij prutom, i dušu ćeš mu izbaviti iz pakla.
14 Punish him with the rod, and save his soul from Sheol.
15 Sine moj, ako bude mudro srce tvoje, veseliće se srce moje u meni;
15 My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad, even mine.
16 I igraće bubrezi moji kad usne tvoje stanu govoriti što je pravo.
16 Yes, my heart will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.
17 Srce tvoje neka ne zavidi grešnicima, nego budi u strahu Gospodnjem uvek.
17 Don’t let your heart envy sinners, but rather fear Yahweh all day long.
18 Jer ima plata, i nadanje tvoje neće se zatrti.
18 Indeed surely there is a future hope, and your hope will not be cut off.
19 Slušaj, sine moj, i budi mudar i upravi putem srce svoje.
19 Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path!
20 Ne budi među pijanicama ni među izjelicama.
20 Don’t be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat;
21 Jer pijanica i izjelica osiromašiće, i spavač hodiće u ritama.
21 for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
22 Slušaj oca svog koji te je rodio, i ne preziri matere svoje kad ostari.
22 Listen to your father who gave you life, and don’t despise your mother when she is old.
23 Kupuj istinu i ne prodaji je; kupuj mudrost, znanje i razum.
23 Buy the truth, and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.
24 Veoma se raduje otac pravednikov, i roditelj mudroga veseli se s njega.
24 The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.
25 Neka se, dakle, veseli otac tvoj i mati tvoja, i neka se raduje roditeljka tvoja.
25 Let your father and your mother be glad! Let her who bore you rejoice!
26 Sine moj, daj mi srce svoje, i oči tvoje neka paze na moje pute.
26 My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.
27 Jer je kurva duboka jama, a tesan studenac tuđa žena.
27 For a prostitute is a deep pit; and a wayward wife is a narrow well.
28 Ona i zaseda kao lupež i umnožava zločince među ljudima.
28 Yes, she lies in wait like a robber, and increases the unfaithful among men.
29 Kome: Jaoh? Kome: Kuku? Kome svađa? Kome vika? Kome rane nizašta? Kome crven u očima?
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 Koji sede kod vina, koji idu te traže rastvoreno vino.
30 Those who stay long at the wine; those who go to seek out mixed wine.
31 Ne gledaj na vino kad se rumeni, kad u čaši pokazuje lice svoje i upravo iskače.
31 Don’t look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.
32 Na posledak će kao zmija ujesti i kao aspida upeći.
32 In the end, it bites like a snake, and poisons like a viper.
33 Oči će tvoje gledati na tuđe žene, i srce će tvoje govoriti opačine.
33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind will imagine confusing things.
34 I bićeš kao onaj koji leži usred mora i kao onaj koji spava povrh jedra.
34 Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the middle of the sea, or as he who lies on top of the rigging:
35 Reći ćeš: Izbiše me, ali me ne zabole; tukoše me, ali ne osetih; kad se probudim, ići ću opet da tražim to.
35 “They hit me, and I was not hurt! They beat me, and I don’t feel it! When will I wake up? I can do it again. I will look for more.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… effect it is written in a certain place, "If thou sittest down to sup at a ruler's table, make wise observation of what is set before thee; and put to thy hand, knowing that it will be thy duty to make similar provision in turn."
