Proverbs 29
1 Anyone who goes on stubbornly rejecting many warnings will be suddenly destroyed, without hope of healing.
Hvo Nakken gør stiv, skønt revset tit, han knuses brat uden Lægedom.
2 When good people are in charge, everybody celebrates; but when the wicked rule, everybody groans.
Er der mange retfærdige, glædes Folket, men råder de gudløse, sukker Folket.
3 A man who loves wisdom makes his father happy, but one who visits prostitutes throws away his money.
Hvo Visdom elsker, glæder sin Fader, hvo Skøger omgås, bortødsler Gods.
4 A king who rules justly makes the country secure, but one who asks for bribes will destroy it.
Kongen grundfæster Landet med Ret, en Udsuger lægger det øde.
5 Those who flatter their friends lay a net to trip them up.
Mand, der smigrer sin Næste, breder et Net for hans Fod.
6 Evil people are trapped by their own sins, but those who do right sing and celebrate.
I sin Brøde hildes den onde, den retfærdige jubler af Glæde.
7 Good people care about treating the poor fairly, but the wicked don't think about it at all.
Den retfærdige kender de ringes Retssag; den gudløse skønner intet.
8 Cynical people can inflame a whole city, but the wise calm angry people down.
Spottere ophidser Byen, men Vismænd, de stiller Vrede.
9 When a wise man takes a stupid man to court, there's raging and ridicule, but nothing is settled.
Går Vismand i Rette med Dåre, vredes og ler han, alt preller af.
10 Murderers hate people of integrity, but those who live right try to help them.
De blodtørstige hader lydefri Mand, de retsindige tager sig af ham.
11 Stupid people let all their anger out, while wise people quietly hold it in.
En Tåbe slipper al sin Voldsomhed løs, Vismand stiller den omsider.
12 A ruler who listens to lies will have nothing but wicked officials.
En Fyrste, som lytter til Løgnetale, får lufter gudløse Tjenere.
13 Poor people and their oppressors have this in common: the Lord gives life to all of them.
Fattigmand og Blodsuger mødes, HERREN giver begges Øjne Glans.
14 If a king judges the poor fairly, he will have a long rule.
En Konge, der dømmer de ringe med Ret, hans Trone står fast evindelig.
15 Discipline and correction provide wisdom, but a son left undisciplined is an embarrassment to his mother.
Ris og Revselse, det giver Visdom, uvorn Dreng gør sin Moder Skam.
16 When the wicked are in power, sin increases; but the good will see their downfall.
Bliver mange gudløse tiltager Synd; retfærdige ser med Fryd deres Fald.
17 Discipline your children and they won't give you any worries; they will make you very happy.
Tugt din Søn, så kvæger han dig og bringer din Sjæl, hvad der smager.
18 Without a revelation from God, the people go out of control, but those who keep the law are happy.
Uden Syner forvildes et Folk; salig den, der vogter på Loven.
19 A servant can't be disciplined by words alone; though they understand, they don't follow what they're told.
Med Ord lader Træl sig ikke tugte, han fatter dem vel, men adlyder ikke.
20 Have you seen a man who speaks without thinking? There's more hope for stupid people than for him!
Ser du en Mand, der er hastig til Tale, for en Tåbe er der snarere Håb end for ham.
21 A servant indulged from childhood will in the end become unmanageable.
Forvænner man sin Træl fra ung, vil han til sidst være Herre.
22 Angry people stir up trouble, those with short tempers commit many sins.
Hidsig Mand vækker Strid, vredladen Mand gør megen Synd.
23 If you're proud, you'll be humiliated; but if you're humble, you'll be honored.
Et Menneskes Hovmod ydmyger ham, den ydmyge opnår Ære.
24 A thief's partner hates his life; even under the threat of being cursed he can't tell the truth.
Hæleren hader sit Liv, han hører Forbandelsen, men melder intet.
25 Being afraid of people traps you, but if you trust in the Lord you're safe.
Frygt for Mennesker leder i Snare, men den, der stoler på HERREN, er bjærget.
26 Many people look for favors from a ruler, but justice comes from the Lord.
Mange søger en Fyrstes Gunst; Mands Ret er dog fra HERREN.
27 Good people hate those who are unjust; the wicked hate those who do what's right.
Urettens Mand er retfærdiges Gru, hvo redeligt vandrer, gudløses Gru.
