Proverbs 29
1 Anyone who goes on stubbornly rejecting many warnings will be suddenly destroyed, without hope of healing.
viro qui corripientem dura cervice contemnit repentinus superveniet interitus et eum sanitas non sequitur
2 When good people are in charge, everybody celebrates; but when the wicked rule, everybody groans.
in multiplicatione iustorum laetabitur vulgus cum impii sumpserint principatum gemet populus
3 A man who loves wisdom makes his father happy, but one who visits prostitutes throws away his money.
vir qui amat sapientiam laetificat patrem suum qui autem nutrit scorta perdet substantiam
4 A king who rules justly makes the country secure, but one who asks for bribes will destroy it.
rex iustus erigit terram vir avarus destruet eam
5 Those who flatter their friends lay a net to trip them up.
homo qui blandis fictisque sermonibus loquitur amico suo rete expandit gressibus eius
6 Evil people are trapped by their own sins, but those who do right sing and celebrate.
peccantem virum iniquum involvet laqueus et iustus laudabit atque gaudebit
7 Good people care about treating the poor fairly, but the wicked don't think about it at all.
novit iustus causam pauperum impius ignorat scientiam
8 Cynical people can inflame a whole city, but the wise calm angry people down.
homines pestilentes dissipant civitatem sapientes avertunt furorem
9 When a wise man takes a stupid man to court, there's raging and ridicule, but nothing is settled.
vir sapiens si cum stulto contenderit sive irascatur sive rideat non inveniet requiem
10 Murderers hate people of integrity, but those who live right try to help them.
viri sanguinum oderunt simplicem iusti quaerunt animam eius
11 Stupid people let all their anger out, while wise people quietly hold it in.
totum spiritum suum profert stultus sapiens differt et reservat in posterum
12 A ruler who listens to lies will have nothing but wicked officials.
princeps qui libenter audit verba mendacii omnes ministros habebit impios
13 Poor people and their oppressors have this in common: the Lord gives life to all of them.
pauper et creditor obviam fuerunt sibi utriusque inluminator est Dominus
14 If a king judges the poor fairly, he will have a long rule.
rex qui iudicat in veritate pauperes thronus eius in aeternum firmabitur
15 Discipline and correction provide wisdom, but a son left undisciplined is an embarrassment to his mother.
virga atque correptio tribuet sapientiam puer autem qui dimittitur voluntati suae confundet matrem suam
16 When the wicked are in power, sin increases; but the good will see their downfall.
in multiplicatione impiorum multiplicabuntur scelera et iusti ruinas eorum videbunt
17 Discipline your children and they won't give you any worries; they will make you very happy.
erudi filium tuum et refrigerabit te et dabit delicias animae tuae
18 Without a revelation from God, the people go out of control, but those who keep the law are happy.
cum prophetia defecerit dissipabitur populus qui custodit legem beatus est
19 A servant can't be disciplined by words alone; though they understand, they don't follow what they're told.
servus verbis non potest erudiri quia quod dicis intellegit et respondere contemnit
20 Have you seen a man who speaks without thinking? There's more hope for stupid people than for him!
vidisti hominem velocem ad loquendum stulti magis speranda est quam illius correptio
21 A servant indulged from childhood will in the end become unmanageable.
qui delicate a pueritia nutrit servum suum postea illum sentiet contumacem
22 Angry people stir up trouble, those with short tempers commit many sins.
vir iracundus provocat rixas et qui ad indignandum facilis est erit ad peccata proclivior
23 If you're proud, you'll be humiliated; but if you're humble, you'll be honored.
superbum sequitur humilitas et humilem spiritu suscipiet gloria
24 A thief's partner hates his life; even under the threat of being cursed he can't tell the truth.
qui cum fure partitur odit animam suam adiurantem audit et non indicat
25 Being afraid of people traps you, but if you trust in the Lord you're safe.
qui timet hominem cito corruet qui sperat in Domino sublevabitur
26 Many people look for favors from a ruler, but justice comes from the Lord.
multi requirunt faciem principis et a Domino iudicium egreditur singulorum
27 Good people hate those who are unjust; the wicked hate those who do what's right.
abominantur iusti virum impium et abominantur impii eos qui in recta sunt via
