< Proverbs 13 >
1 A wise son [heareth] his father's instruction; but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
filius sapiens doctrina patris qui autem inlusor est non audit cum arguitur
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth; but the soul of the treacherous, violence.
de fructu oris homo saturabitur bonis anima autem praevaricatorum iniqua
3 He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his soul; destruction shall be to him that openeth wide his lips.
qui custodit os suum custodit animam suam qui autem inconsideratus est ad loquendum sentiet mala
4 A sluggard's soul desireth and hath nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
vult et non vult piger anima autem operantium inpinguabitur
5 A righteous [man] hateth lying; but the wicked maketh himself odious and cometh to shame.
verbum mendax iustus detestabitur impius confundit et confundetur
6 Righteousness preserveth him that is perfect in the way; but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
iustitia custodit innocentis viam impietas vero peccato subplantat
7 There is that feigneth himself rich, and hath nothing; there is that maketh himself poor, and hath great wealth.
est quasi dives cum nihil habeat et est quasi pauper cum in multis divitiis sit
8 The ransom of a man's life is his riches; but the indigent heareth not rebuke.
redemptio animae viri divitiae suae qui autem pauper est increpationem non sustinet
9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth; but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
lux iustorum laetificat lucerna autem impiorum extinguetur
10 By pride there only cometh contention; but with the well-advised is wisdom.
inter superbos semper iurgia sunt qui autem agunt cuncta consilio reguntur sapientia
11 Wealth [gotten] by vanity diminisheth; but he that gathereth by manual-labour shall increase [it].
substantia festinata minuetur quae autem paulatim colligitur manu multiplicabitur
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; but the desire [that] cometh to pass is a tree of life.
spes quae differtur adfligit animam lignum vitae desiderium veniens
13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be held by it; but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
qui detrahit alicui rei ipse se in futurum obligat qui autem timet praeceptum in pace versabitur
14 The teaching of the wise [man] is a fountain of life, to turn away from the snares of death.
lex sapientis fons vitae ut declinet a ruina mortis
15 Good understanding procureth favour; but the way of the treacherous is hard.
doctrina bona dabit gratiam in itinere contemptorum vorago
16 Every prudent [man] acteth with knowledge; but the foolish layeth open [his] folly.
astutus omnia agit cum consilio qui autem fatuus est aperit stultitiam
17 A wicked messenger falleth into evil; but a faithful ambassador is health.
nuntius impii cadet in malum legatus fidelis sanitas
18 Poverty and shame shall be [to] him that refuseth instruction; but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
egestas et ignominia ei qui deserit disciplinam qui autem adquiescit arguenti glorificabitur
19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; but it is abomination to the foolish to depart from evil.
desiderium si conpleatur delectat animam detestantur stulti eos qui fugiunt mala
20 He that walketh with wise [men] becometh wise; but a companion of the foolish will be depraved.
qui cum sapientibus graditur sapiens erit amicus stultorum efficietur similis
21 Evil pursueth sinners; but to the righteous good shall be repaid.
peccatores persequetur malum et iustis retribuentur bona
22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; but the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous [man].
bonus relinquet heredes filios et nepotes et custoditur iusto substantia peccatoris
23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor; but there is that is lost for want of judgment.
multi cibi in novalibus patrum et alii congregantur absque iudicio
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
qui parcit virgae suae odit filium suum qui autem diligit illum instanter erudit
25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul; but the belly of the wicked shall want.
iustus comedit et replet animam suam venter autem impiorum insaturabilis
