Proverbs 10
1 The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother.
Men pwovèb wa Salomon yo: Yon pitit ki gen bon konprann fè kè papa l' kontan. Men, yon pitit san konprann bay manman l' lapenn.
2 Ill-gotten treasures profit nothing, but righteousness brings deliverance from death.
Byen ou rive fè nan move kondisyon p'ap rapòte ou anyen. Men, lè ou serye, ou sove lavi ou.
3 The LORD does not let the righteous go hungry, but He denies the craving of the wicked.
Seyè a p'ap kite moun ki mache dwat soufri grangou. Men, l'ap anpeche mechan an jwenn sa li anvi a.
4 Idle hands make one poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.
Parese fè ou pòv, men travay di fè ou rich.
5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.
Yon nonm ki wè lwen ranmase rekòt li lè rekòt la pare. Men, se yon wont pou moun ki pase tou tan rekòt la ap dòmi.

26 Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is the slacker to those who send him.
