Proverbs 29
1 Anyone who goes on stubbornly rejecting many warnings will be suddenly destroyed, without hope of healing.
Yon nonm ki fè tèt di apre anpil repwòch va vin kraze sibitman san remèd.
2 When good people are in charge, everybody celebrates; but when the wicked rule, everybody groans.
Lè moun dwat yo vin ogmante, pèp la rejwi; men lè yon moun mechan gouvène, pèp la jemi.
3 A man who loves wisdom makes his father happy, but one who visits prostitutes throws away his money.
Yon nonm ki renmen sajès fè papa l kontan; men sila ki pase tan l ak pwostitiye yo gate byen li.
4 A king who rules justly makes the country secure, but one who asks for bribes will destroy it.
Avèk jistis, wa a fè tout peyi a vin estab; men yon nonm ki aksepte kòb anba tab boulvèse li.
5 Those who flatter their friends lay a net to trip them up.
Yon nonm ki flate vwazen li ap ouvri filè pou pla pye li.
6 Evil people are trapped by their own sins, but those who do right sing and celebrate.
Pa transgresyon yon nonm mechan vin pran nan pyèj nèt; men moun dwat la va chante e rejwi.
7 Good people care about treating the poor fairly, but the wicked don't think about it at all.
Moun ladwati a gen kè pou dwa malere; men mechan an pa menm konprann afè sa a.
8 Cynical people can inflame a whole city, but the wise calm angry people down.
Mokè yo, fè gwo vil la pran dife; men moun saj yo kalme kòlè.
9 When a wise man takes a stupid man to court, there's raging and ridicule, but nothing is settled.
Lè yon nonm saj gen yon kont ak yon moun san konprann, moun san konprann nan anraje oswa ri, e nanpwen repo.
10 Murderers hate people of integrity, but those who live right try to help them.
Moun k ap vèse san rayi inosan an; men moun dwat yo pwoteje lavi li.
11 Stupid people let all their anger out, while wise people quietly hold it in.
Moun san konprann toujou fache; men yon nonm saj kenbe tèt li anba kontwòl.
12 A ruler who listens to lies will have nothing but wicked officials.
Si gouvènè a prete atansyon a manti, tout minis li yo va vin mechan.
13 Poor people and their oppressors have this in common: the Lord gives life to all of them.
Malere a ak opresè a gen yon bagay ki sanble; se SENYÈ a ki mete limyè nan zye tou de.
14 If a king judges the poor fairly, he will have a long rule.
Si yon wa jije pòv yo ak verite, twòn li va etabli jis pou tout tan.
15 Discipline and correction provide wisdom, but a son left undisciplined is an embarrassment to his mother.
Baton ak repwòch bay sajès; men timoun ki fè sa li pito a mennen wont sou manman l.
16 When the wicked are in power, sin increases; but the good will see their downfall.
Lè mechan yo vin plis, transgresyon yo ogmante; men moun dwat yo va wè tonbe yo.
17 Discipline your children and they won't give you any worries; they will make you very happy.
Korije fis ou e li va ba ou rekonfò; anplis, li va bay nanm ou gwo plezi.
18 Without a revelation from God, the people go out of control, but those who keep the law are happy.
Kote nanpwen vizyon, pèp la san fren; men byen kontan se sila ki kenbe lalwa a.
19 A servant can't be disciplined by words alone; though they understand, they don't follow what they're told.
Pawòl sèl p ap ka enstwi yon esklav; paske malgre li konprann, li p ap reponn.
20 Have you seen a man who speaks without thinking? There's more hope for stupid people than for him!
Èske ou wè yon nonm ki pale vit san reflechi? Gen plis espwa pou moun fou a pase li menm.
21 A servant indulged from childhood will in the end become unmanageable.
Sila ki byen swaye esklav li depi li piti a, nan lafen, twouve yon fis.
22 Angry people stir up trouble, those with short tempers commit many sins.
Yon nonm an kòlè pwovoke konfli e yon nonm ki plen fachèz fè anpil tò.
23 If you're proud, you'll be humiliated; but if you're humble, you'll be honored.
Ògèy a yon nonm va mennen li ba; men yon lespri enb va jwenn respè.
24 A thief's partner hates his life; even under the threat of being cursed he can't tell the truth.
Sila ki fè konplo ak yon volè rayi pwòp lavi li; li pran sèman an men li pa pale anyen.
25 Being afraid of people traps you, but if you trust in the Lord you're safe.
Lakrent a lòm mennen yon pèlen; men sila ki mete konfyans li nan SENYÈ a va leve wo.
26 Many people look for favors from a ruler, but justice comes from the Lord.
Gen anpil moun k ap chache favè a sila ki gouvène a; men lajistis pou lòm va sòti nan SENYÈ a.
27 Good people hate those who are unjust; the wicked hate those who do what's right.
Tankou yon nonm enjis abominab a moun dwat, yon nonm ladwati abominab a mechan yo.
