Proverbs 13
1 A wise sonne will obey the instruction of his father: but a scorner will heare no rebuke.
Viis Søn elsker tugt, spotter hører ikke på skænd.
2 A man shall eate good things by the fruite of his mouth: but the soule of the trespassers shall suffer violence.
Af sin Munds Frugt nyder en Mand kun godt, til Vold står troløses Hu.
3 Hee that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life: but he that openeth his lips, destruction shall be to him.
Vogter man Munden, bevarer man Sjælen, den åbenmundede falder i Våde.
4 The sluggard lusteth, but his soule hath nought: but the soule of the diligent shall haue plentie.
Den lade attrår uden at få, men flittiges Sjæl bliver mæt.
5 A righteous man hateth lying wordes: but the wicked causeth slander and shame.
Den retfærdige hader Løgnetale, den gudløse spreder Skam og Skændsel.
6 Righteousnesse preserueth the vpright of life: but wickednes ouerthroweth the sinner.
Retfærd skærmer, hvo lydefrit vandrer, Synden fælder de gudløse.
7 There is that maketh himselfe riche, and hath nothing, and that maketh himselfe poore, hauing great riches.
Mangen lader rig og ejer dog intet, mangen lader fattig og ejer dog meget.
8 A man will giue his riches for the ransome of his life: but the poore cannot heare ye reproch.
Mands Rigdom er Løsepenge for hans Liv, Fattigmand får ingen Trusel at høre.
9 The light of the righteous reioyceth: but the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
Retfærdiges Lys bryder frem, gudløses Lampe går ud.
10 Onely by pride doeth man make contention: but with the well aduised is wisdome.
Ved Hovmod vækkes kun Splid, hos dem, der lader sig råde, er Visdom.
11 The riches of vanitie shall diminish: but he that gathereth with the hand, shall increase them.
Rigdom, vundet i Hast, smuldrer hen, hvad der samles Håndfuld for Håndfuld, øges.
12 The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart: but when the desire commeth, it is as a tree of life.
At bie længe gør Hjertet sygt, opfyldt Ønske er et Livets Træ.
13 He that despiseth the worde, hee shall be destroyed: but hee that feareth the commandement he shalbe rewarded.
Den, der lader hånt om Ordet, slås ned, den, der frygter Budet, får Løn.
14 The instruction of a wise man is as the welspring of life, to turne away from the snares of death.
Vismands Lære er en Livsens Kilde, derved undgås Dødens Snarer.
15 Good vnderstanding maketh acceptable: but the way of the disobedient is hated.
God Forstand vinder Yndest, troløses Vej er deres Undergang.
16 Euery wise man will worke by knowledge: but a foole will spread abroade folly.
Hver, som er klog, går til Værks med Kundskab, Tåben udfolder Dårskab.
17 A wicked messenger falleth into euill: but a faithfull ambassadour is preseruation.
Gudløs Budbringer går det galt, troværdigt Bud bringer Lægedom.
18 Pouertie and shame is to him that refuseth instruction: but hee that regardeth correction, shalbe honoured.
Afvises Tugt, får man Armod og Skam; agtes på Revselse, bliver man æret.
19 A desire accomplished deliteth ye soule: but it is an abomination to fooles to depart from euil.
Opfyldt Ønske er sødt for Sjælen, at vige fra ondt er Tåber en Gru.
20 He that walketh with the wise, shalbe wise: but a companion of fooles shalbe afflicted.
Omgås Vismænd, så bliver du viis, ilde faren er Tåbers Ven.
21 Affliction followeth sinners: but vnto the righteous God will recompense good.
Vanheld følger Syndere, Lykken når de retfærdige.
22 The good man shall giue inheritance vnto his childrens children: and the riches of the sinner is layde vp for the iust.
Den gode efterlader Børnebrn Arv, til retfærdige gemmes Synderens Gods.
23 Much foode is in the fielde of the poore: but the fielde is destroyed without discretion.
På Fattigfolks Nyjord er rigelig Føde, mens mangen rives bort ved Uret.
24 He that spareth his rodde, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betime.
Hvo Riset sparer, hader sin Søn, den, der elsker ham, tugter i Tide.
25 The righteous eateth to the contentation of his minde: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
Den retfærdige spiser, til Sulten er stillet, gudløses Bug er tom.
