1 Slušajte, deco, nastavu očevu, i pazite da biste poznali mudrost.
1 Listen, sons, to a father’s instruction. Pay attention and know understanding;
2 Jer vam dobru nauku dajem, ne ostavljajte zakon moj.
2 for I give you sound learning. Don’t forsake my law.
3 Kad bejah sin u oca svog mlad, i jedinac u matere svoje,
3 For I was a son to my father, tender and an only child in the sight of my mother.
4 On me učaše i govoraše mi: Neka primi srce tvoje reči moje, drži zapovesti moje i bićeš živ.
4 He taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live.
5 Pribavi mudrost, pribavi razum; ne zaboravljaj i ne odstupaj od reči usta mojih.
5 Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don’t forget, and don’t deviate from the words of my mouth.
6 Nemoj je ostaviti, i čuvaće te, ljubi je, i hraniće te.
6 Don’t forsake her, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she will keep you.
7 Mudrost je glavno; pribavi mudrost, i za sve imanje svoje pribavi razum.
7 Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.
8 Podiži je i ona će te uzvisiti, proslaviće te kad je zagrliš.
8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor when you embrace her.
9 Metnuće ti na glavu venac od milina, krasnu krunu daće ti.
9 She will give to your head a garland of grace. She will deliver a crown of splendor to you.”
10 Slušaj, sine moj, i primi reči moje, i umnožiće ti se godine životu.
10 Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many.
11 Učim te putu mudrosti, vodim te stazama pravim.
11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in straight paths.
12 Kad ushodiš, neće se stezati koraci tvoji, i ako potrčiš nećeš se spotaknuti.
12 When you go, your steps will not be hampered. When you run, you will not stumble.
13 Drži se nastave i ne puštaj, čuvaj je, jer ti je život.
13 Take firm hold of instruction. Don’t let her go. Keep her, for she is your life.
14 Ne idi na stazu bezbožničku i putem nevaljalih ljudi ne stupaj.
14 Don’t enter into the path of the wicked. Don’t walk in the way of evil men.
15 Ostavi ga, ne hodi po njemu, ukloni se od njega i mini ga.
15 Avoid it, and don’t pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on.
16 Jer ne spavaju ako ne učine zla, i ne dolazi im san ako koga ne obore.
16 For they don’t sleep unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.
17 Jer jedu hleb bezbožnosti i piju vino nasilja.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.
18 A put je pravednički kao svetlo videlo, koje sve većma svetli dok ne bude pravi dan.
18 But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day.
19 A put je bezbožnički kao mrak, ne znaju na šta će se spotaknuti.
19 The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don’t know what they stumble over.
20 Sine moj, slušaj reči moje, prigni uho svoje besedi mojoj.
20 My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings.
21 Da ti ne odlaze iz očiju; čuvaj ih usred srca svog.
21 Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the center of your heart.
22 Jer su život onima koji ih nalaze i zdravlje svemu telu njihovom.
22 For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole body.
23 Svrh svega što se čuva čuvaj srce svoje, jer iz njega izlazi život.
23 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.
24 Ukloni od usta svojih opačinu i od usana svojih nevaljalstvo udalji.
24 Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you.
25 Oči tvoje neka gledaju upravo i veđe tvoje neka se upravljaju pravo pred tobom.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Meri stazu nogama svojim, i svi putevi tvoji neka su poravnjeni.
26 Make the path of your feet level. Let all of your ways be established.
27 Ne svrći ni nadesno ni nalevo, odvraćaj nogu svoju oda zla.
27 Don’t turn to the right hand nor to the left. Remove your foot from evil.

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).
It is not an enemy, O man, that assails thee from without, but an evil shoot growing up out of thyself. Look right on with thine eyes, and there is no lust.
