Proverbs 13
1 A wise sonne will obey the instruction of his father: but a scorner will heare no rebuke.
| בֵּ֣ן חָ֭כָם מ֣וּסַר אָ֑ב וְ֝לֵ֗ץ לֹא־שָׁמַ֥ע גְּעָרָֽה׃ |
2 A man shall eate good things by the fruite of his mouth: but the soule of the trespassers shall suffer violence.
| מִפְּרִ֣י פִי־אִ֭ישׁ יֹ֣אכַל טֹ֑וב וְנֶ֖פֶשׁ בֹּגְדִ֣ים חָמָֽס׃ |
3 Hee that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life: but he that openeth his lips, destruction shall be to him.
| נֹצֵ֣ר פִּ֭יו שֹׁמֵ֣ר נַפְשֹׁ֑ו פֹּשֵׂ֥ק שְׂ֝פָתָ֗יו מְחִתָּה־לֹֽו׃ |
4 The sluggard lusteth, but his soule hath nought: but the soule of the diligent shall haue plentie.
| מִתְאַוָּ֣ה וָ֭אַיִן נַפְשֹׁ֣ו עָצֵ֑ל וְנֶ֖פֶשׁ חָרֻצִ֣ים תְּדֻשָּֽׁן׃ |
5 A righteous man hateth lying wordes: but the wicked causeth slander and shame.
| דְּבַר־שֶׁ֭קֶר יִשְׂנָ֣א צַדִּ֑יק וְ֝רָשָׁ֗ע יַבְאִ֥ישׁ וְיַחְפִּֽיר׃ |
6 Righteousnesse preserueth the vpright of life: but wickednes ouerthroweth the sinner.
| צְ֭דָקָה תִּצֹּ֣ר תָּם־דָּ֑רֶךְ וְ֝רִשְׁעָ֗ה תְּסַלֵּ֥ף חַטָּֽאת׃ |
7 There is that maketh himselfe riche, and hath nothing, and that maketh himselfe poore, hauing great riches.
| יֵ֣שׁ מִ֭תְעַשֵּׁר וְאֵ֣ין כֹּ֑ל מִ֝תְרֹושֵׁ֗שׁ וְהֹ֣ון רָֽב׃ |
8 A man will giue his riches for the ransome of his life: but the poore cannot heare ye reproch.
| כֹּ֣פֶר נֶֽפֶשׁ־אִ֣ישׁ עָשְׁרֹ֑ו וְ֝רָ֗שׁ לֹא־שָׁמַ֥ע גְּעָרָֽה׃ |
9 The light of the righteous reioyceth: but the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
| אֹור־צַדִּיקִ֥ים יִשְׂמָ֑ח וְנֵ֖ר רְשָׁעִ֣ים יִדְעָֽךְ׃ |
10 Onely by pride doeth man make contention: but with the well aduised is wisdome.
| רַק־בְּ֭זָדֹון יִתֵּ֣ן מַצָּ֑ה וְאֶת־נֹ֖ועָצִ֣ים חָכְמָֽה׃ |
11 The riches of vanitie shall diminish: but he that gathereth with the hand, shall increase them.
| הֹ֭ון מֵהֶ֣בֶל יִמְעָ֑ט וְקֹבֵ֖ץ עַל־יָ֣ד יַרְבֶּֽה׃ |
12 The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart: but when the desire commeth, it is as a tree of life.
| תֹּוחֶ֣לֶת מְ֭מֻשָּׁכָה מַחֲלָה־לֵ֑ב וְעֵ֥ץ חַ֝יִּ֗ים תַּאֲוָ֥ה בָאָֽה׃ |
13 He that despiseth the worde, hee shall be destroyed: but hee that feareth the commandement he shalbe rewarded.
| בָּ֣ז לְ֭דָבָר יֵחָ֣בֶל לֹ֑ו וִירֵ֥א מִ֝צְוָ֗ה ה֣וּא יְשֻׁלָּֽם׃ |
14 The instruction of a wise man is as the welspring of life, to turne away from the snares of death.
| תֹּורַ֣ת חָ֭כָם מְקֹ֣ור חַיִּ֑ים לָ֝ס֗וּר מִמֹּ֥קְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃ |
15 Good vnderstanding maketh acceptable: but the way of the disobedient is hated.
| שֵֽׂכֶל־טֹ֭וב יִתֶּן־חֵ֑ן וְדֶ֖רֶךְ בֹּגְדִ֣ים אֵיתָֽן׃ |
16 Euery wise man will worke by knowledge: but a foole will spread abroade folly.
| כָּל־עָ֭רוּם יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה בְדָ֑עַת וּ֝כְסִ֗יל יִפְרֹ֥שׂ אִוֶּֽלֶת׃ |
17 A wicked messenger falleth into euill: but a faithfull ambassadour is preseruation.
| מַלְאָ֣ךְ רָ֭שָׁע יִפֹּ֣ל בְּרָ֑ע וְצִ֖יר אֱמוּנִ֣ים מַרְפֵּֽא׃ |
18 Pouertie and shame is to him that refuseth instruction: but hee that regardeth correction, shalbe honoured.
| רֵ֣ישׁ וְ֭קָלֹון פֹּורֵ֣עַ מוּסָ֑ר וְשֹׁומֵ֖ר תֹּוכַ֣חַת יְכֻבָּֽד׃ |
19 A desire accomplished deliteth ye soule: but it is an abomination to fooles to depart from euil.
| תַּאֲוָ֣ה נִ֭הְיָה תֶעֱרַ֣ב לְנָ֑פֶשׁ וְתֹועֲבַ֥ת כְּ֝סִילִ֗ים ס֣וּר מֵרָֽע׃ |
20 He that walketh with the wise, shalbe wise: but a companion of fooles shalbe afflicted.
| הָלֹוךְ (הֹולֵ֣ךְ) אֶת־חֲכָמִ֣ים וַחֲכָם (יֶחְכָּ֑ם) וְרֹעֶ֖ה כְסִילִ֣ים יֵרֹֽועַ׃ |
21 Affliction followeth sinners: but vnto the righteous God will recompense good.
| חַ֭טָּאִים תְּרַדֵּ֣ף רָעָ֑ה וְאֶת־צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים יְשַׁלֶּם־טֹֽוב׃ |
22 The good man shall giue inheritance vnto his childrens children: and the riches of the sinner is layde vp for the iust.
| טֹ֗וב יַנְחִ֥יל בְּנֵֽי־בָנִ֑ים וְצָפ֥וּן לַ֝צַּדִּ֗יק חֵ֣יל חֹוטֵֽא׃ |
23 Much foode is in the fielde of the poore: but the fielde is destroyed without discretion.
| רָב־אֹ֭כֶל נִ֣יר רָאשִׁ֑ים וְיֵ֥שׁ נִ֝סְפֶּ֗ה בְּלֹ֣א מִשְׁפָּֽט׃ |
24 He that spareth his rodde, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betime.
| חֹושֵׂ֣ךְ שִׁ֭בְטֹו שֹׂונֵ֣א בְנֹ֑ו וְ֝אֹהֲבֹ֗ו שִֽׁחֲרֹ֥ו מוּסָֽר׃ |
25 The righteous eateth to the contentation of his minde: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
| צַדִּ֗יק אֹ֭כֵל לְשֹׂ֣בַע נַפְשֹׁ֑ו וּבֶ֖טֶן רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֶּחְסָֽר׃ פ |
