1 Боље је име него велико богатство, и милост је боља него сребро и злато.
1 A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold.
2 Богат и сиромах сретају се; обојицу је Господ створио.
2 The rich and the poor have this in common: Yahweh is the maker of them all.
3 Паметан човек види зло и склони се, а луди иду даље и плаћају.
3 A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
4 Смерности и страху Господњем плата је богатство и слава и живот.
4 The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh is wealth, honor, and life.
5 Трње и замке су на путу опакога; ко чува душу своју, биће далеко од тога.
5 Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked; whoever guards his soul stays far from them.
6 Учи дете према путу којим ће ићи, па неће одступити од њега ни кад остари.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
7 Богат господари над сиромасима, и ко узима у зајам бива слуга ономе који даје.
7 The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender.
8 Ко сеје безакоње жеће муку, и прут гнева његовог нестаће.
8 He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
9 Благо око биће благословено, јер даје хлеба свог убогом.
9 He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.
10 Отерај подсмевача, и отићи ће распра и престаће свађа и срамота.
10 Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop.
11 Ко љуби чисто срце, и чије су усне љубазне, њему је цар пријатељ.
11 He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully is the king’s friend.
12 Очи Господње чувају знање, а послове безаконикове обара.
12 Yahweh’s eyes watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
13 Ленивац говори: Лав је напољу; насред улице погинуо бих.
13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!”
14 Уста су туђих жена јама дубока; на кога се гневи Господ онамо ће пасти.
14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit. He who is under Yahweh’s wrath will fall into it.
15 Безумље је привезано детету на срце; прут којим се кара уклониће га од њега.
15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
16 Ко чини криво сиромаху да умножи своје, и ко даје богатоме, зацело ће осиромашити.
16 Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty.
17 Пригни ухо своје и слушај речи мудрих људи, и срце своје привиј к науци мојој.
17 Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching.
18 Јер ће ти бити милина ако их сложиш у срце своје, ако све буду поређане на уснама твојим.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.
19 Да би ти уздање било у Господа, казујем ти ово данас, а ти тако чини.
19 I teach you today, even you, so that your trust may be in Yahweh.
20 Нисам ли ти написао знамените ствари за савете и знање,
20 Haven’t I written to you thirty excellent things of counsel and knowledge,
21 Да бих ти показао тврђу истинитих речи да би могао истинитим речима одговарати онима који пошаљу к теби?
21 To teach you truth, reliable words, to give sound answers to the ones who sent you?
22 Не отимај сиромаху зато што је сиромах, и не затири невољнога на вратима.
22 Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court;
23 Јер ће Господ бранити њихову ствар, и отеће душу онима који њима отимају.
23 for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.
24 Не дружи се с човеком гневљивим и не иди са жестоким,
24 Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man. Don’t associate with one who harbors anger,
25 Да се не би навикао на путеве његове и метнуо замке на душу своју.
25 lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul.
26 Не буди од оних који руку дају, који се јамче за дугове.
26 Don’t you be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts.
27 Ако немаш чим платити, зашто да се однесе постеља испод тебе?
27 If you don’t have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?
28 Не помичи старе међе, коју су поставили оци твоји.
28 Don’t move the ancient boundary stone which your fathers have set up.
29 Јеси ли видео човека устаоца на послу? Такви ће пред царевима стајати, а неће стајати пред простацима.
29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won’t serve obscure men.

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).
Scripture says, "The rich and the poor meet together, the Lord is the Maker of them both." The rich and the poor meet together.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 6 (1888)
Because we incessantly move the ancient landmarks which our fathers have set. We encroach, we add house to house, field to field, to enrich ourselves at the expense of our neighbour.
