Притчи 24
Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
24 (A)Не завиждай на лошите хора, нито пожелавай да бъдеш с тях, 2 защото сърцето им крои насилие и устата им говорят зло.
Значението на мъдростта
3 Къща се поддържа с мъдрост, а се укрепва с разум; 4 и с умение нейните помещения се напълват с всякакви скъпи и ценни богатства.
5 Мъдрият човек е силен и разумният човек усилва мощта си. 6 (B)Затова ще водиш война благоприятно с обмисляне и ще имаш успех с много съветници.
7 Мъдростта е недостъпна за глупеца; той не отваря уста при портите.
8 Който замисля да извърши зло, наричат го интригант. 9 Каквото намисли глупостта, е грях, и присмехулникът е мерзост за хората.
10 (C)Покажеш ли се малодушен в усилно време, силата ти е недостатъчна.
11 Освобождавай влачените на смърт и се застъпвай за обречените на убиване. 12 (D)Ако кажеш „Ето ние не сме знаели за това“ – тогава Този, Който подлага на изпитание сърцата, нима не знае? Онзи, Който бди над живота ти, знае това и ще въздаде на човека според делата му.
13 Сине мой, яж мед, защото е приятен, и медена пита, която е сладка за вкуса ти. 14 Знай, такава е и мъдростта за душата ти. Ако си я постигнал, има щастливо бъдеще и твоята надежда не е изгубена.
15 Не поглеждай с престъпни намерения към жилището на праведника, не разрушавай мястото на покоя му, 16 (E)защото праведникът пада седем пъти и пак се изправя, а нечестивите ще паднат в погибел.
17 (F)Недей се радва, когато врагът ти падне, и сърцето ти да не ликува, когато той се подхлъзне, 18 да не би Господ да види това и да не го одобри, и да отвърне от него гнева Си. 19 (G)Не се смущавай от злодеи и не завиждай на нечестиви, 20 защото добър край не очаква злия – светилникът на нечестивите ще угасне.
21 (H)Сине мой, имай страхопочитание от Господа, както и от царя – ти не се обявявай срещу тях. 22 Защото от тях двамата неочаквано идват допуснато нещастие и непредвидена погибел.
23 (I)Още притчи идват от мъдреците: не е добре да се проявява лицеприятие в съд. 24 Който казва на виновния: „Ти си прав“, него хората ще проклинат и мразят. 25 А към тези, които изобличават такъв, ще се окаже благоволение и върху тях ще дойде благословение. 26 В уста целува онзи, който дава верен отговор.
27 Уреди работите си извън жилището си, свърши ги на нивата си и едва тогава изграждай къщата си.
28 Не ставай лъжесвидетел против ближния си – защо да мамиш с устата си? 29 Не казвай: „Както той постъпи с мене, така и аз ще постъпя с него; ще въздам на човека според делата му.“
30 (J)Минавах край нивата на ленивец и покрай лозето на нехаен човек. 31 Ето всичко бе обрасло с тръни, коприва бе покрила всичко наоколо и каменната му ограда беше съборена. 32 Тогава, като погледнах, размислих в сърцето си, погледах и усвоих поука: 33 (K)още малко сладък сън, още малко сладка дрямка, още малко ще полежиш със скръстени ръце 34 и сиромашията ще дойде при тебе като грабител и немотията – като натрапчив бедняк.
Proverbs 24
New International Version
Saying 20
24 Do not envy(A) the wicked,
do not desire their company;
2 for their hearts plot violence,(B)
and their lips talk about making trouble.(C)
Saying 21
3 By wisdom a house is built,(D)
and through understanding it is established;
4 through knowledge its rooms are filled
with rare and beautiful treasures.(E)
Saying 22
5 The wise prevail through great power,
and those who have knowledge muster their strength.
6 Surely you need guidance to wage war,
and victory is won through many advisers.(F)
Saying 23
7 Wisdom is too high for fools;
in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.
Saying 24
8 Whoever plots evil
will be known as a schemer.
9 The schemes of folly are sin,
and people detest a mocker.
Saying 25
10 If you falter in a time of trouble,
how small is your strength!(G)
11 Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter.(H)
12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”
does not he who weighs(I) the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay(J) everyone according to what they have done?(K)
Saying 26
13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good;
honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
14 Know also that wisdom is like honey for you:
If you find it, there is a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.(L)
Saying 27
15 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous,
do not plunder their dwelling place;
16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,
but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.(M)
Saying 28
17 Do not gloat(N) when your enemy falls;
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,(O)
18 or the Lord will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from them.(P)
Saying 29
19 Do not fret(Q) because of evildoers
or be envious of the wicked,
20 for the evildoer has no future hope,
and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.(R)
Saying 30
21 Fear the Lord and the king,(S) my son,
and do not join with rebellious officials,
22 for those two will send sudden destruction(T) on them,
and who knows what calamities they can bring?
Further Sayings of the Wise
23 These also are sayings of the wise:(U)
To show partiality(V) in judging is not good:(W)
24 Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent,”(X)
will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations.
25 But it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
and rich blessing will come on them.
26 An honest answer
is like a kiss on the lips.
27 Put your outdoor work in order
and get your fields ready;
after that, build your house.
28 Do not testify against your neighbor without cause(Y)—
would you use your lips to mislead?
29 Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me;
I’ll pay them back for what they did.”(Z)
30 I went past the field of a sluggard,(AA)
past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
31 thorns had come up everywhere,
the ground was covered with weeds,
and the stone wall was in ruins.
32 I applied my heart to what I observed
and learned a lesson from what I saw:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest(AB)—
34 and poverty will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.(AC)
Proverbs 24
Living Bible
24 Don’t envy godless men; don’t even enjoy their company. 2 For they spend their days plotting violence and cheating.
3-4 Any enterprise is built by wise planning, becomes strong through common sense, and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of the facts.
5 A wise man is mightier than a strong man. Wisdom is mightier than strength.
6 Don’t go to war without wise guidance; there is safety in many counselors.
7 Wisdom is too much for a rebel. He’ll not be chosen as a counselor!
8 To plan evil is as wrong as doing it.
9 The rebel’s schemes are sinful, and the mocker is the scourge of all mankind.
10 You are a poor specimen if you can’t stand the pressure of adversity.
11-12 Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to death; don’t stand back and let them die. Don’t try to disclaim responsibility by saying you didn’t know about it. For God, who knows all hearts, knows yours, and he knows you knew! And he will reward everyone according to his deeds.
13-14 My son, honey whets the appetite and so does wisdom! When you enjoy becoming wise, there is hope for you! A bright future lies ahead!
15-16 O evil man, leave the upright man alone and quit trying to cheat him out of his rights. Don’t you know that this good man, though you trip him up seven times, will each time rise again? But one calamity is enough to lay you low.
17 Do not rejoice when your enemy meets trouble. Let there be no gladness when he falls— 18 for the Lord may be displeased with you and stop punishing him!
19-20 Don’t envy the wicked. Don’t covet his riches. For the evil man has no future; his light will be snuffed out.
21-22 My son, watch your step before the Lord and the king, and don’t associate with radicals. For you will go down with them to sudden disaster, and who knows where it all will end?
23 It is wrong to sentence the poor and let the rich go free. 24 He who says to the wicked, “You are innocent,” shall be cursed by many people of many nations; 25 but blessings shall be showered on those who rebuke sin fearlessly.
26 It is an honor to receive a frank reply.
27 Develop your business first before building your house.
28-29 Don’t testify spitefully against an innocent neighbor. Why lie about him? Don’t say, “Now I can pay him back for all his meanness to me!”
30-31 I walked by the field of a certain lazy fellow and saw that it was overgrown with thorns; it was covered with weeds, and its walls were broken down. 32-33 Then, as I looked, I learned this lesson:
“A little extra sleep,
A little more slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest”
34 means that poverty will break in upon you suddenly like a robber and violently like a bandit.
