?ovjek može zanemariti stare navike i pobijediti (svoju?) prirodu, ako Bog da.


Explanation:
Sve je jasno, samo hrvatski zahtijeva više objašnjenja ako odlu?ite držati se prijevoda.
Prvo, "old ways" kod nas može biti i "stare na?ine življenja" ili predenja ili kašljanja, ve? zavisno o ?emu se radi. "Navike" je solomonsko rješenje. pobijediti prirodu ili svoju prirodu treba se vidjeti iz konteksta.
