Proverbs 13
1 A wise sonne will obey the instruction of his father: but a scorner will heare no rebuke.
[Filius sapiens doctrina patris; qui autem illusor est non audit cum arguitur.
2 A man shall eate good things by the fruite of his mouth: but the soule of the trespassers shall suffer violence.
De fructu oris sui homo satiabitur bonis: anima autem prævaricatorum iniqua.
3 Hee that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life: but he that openeth his lips, destruction shall be to him.
Qui custodit os suum custodit animam suam; qui autem inconsideratus est ad loquendum, sentiet mala.
4 The sluggard lusteth, but his soule hath nought: but the soule of the diligent shall haue plentie.
Vult et non vult piger; anima autem operantium impinguabitur.
5 A righteous man hateth lying wordes: but the wicked causeth slander and shame.
Verbum mendax justus detestabitur; impius autem confundit, et confundetur.
6 Righteousnesse preserueth the vpright of life: but wickednes ouerthroweth the sinner.
Justitia custodit innocentis viam, impietas autem peccatorem supplantat.]
7 There is that maketh himselfe riche, and hath nothing, and that maketh himselfe poore, hauing great riches.
[Est quasi dives, cum nihil habeat, et est quasi pauper, cum in multis divitiis sit.
8 A man will giue his riches for the ransome of his life: but the poore cannot heare ye reproch.
Redemptio animæ viri divitiæ suæ; qui autem pauper est, increpationem non sustinet.
9 The light of the righteous reioyceth: but the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
Lux justorum lætificat: lucerna autem impiorum extinguetur.
10 Onely by pride doeth man make contention: but with the well aduised is wisdome.
Inter superbos semper jurgia sunt; qui autem agunt omnia cum consilio, reguntur sapientia.
11 The riches of vanitie shall diminish: but he that gathereth with the hand, shall increase them.
Substantia festinata minuetur; quæ autem paulatim colligitur manu, multiplicabitur.
12 The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart: but when the desire commeth, it is as a tree of life.
Spes quæ differtur affligit animam; lignum vitæ desiderium veniens.]
13 He that despiseth the worde, hee shall be destroyed: but hee that feareth the commandement he shalbe rewarded.
[Qui detrahit alicui rei, ipse se in futurum obligat; qui autem timet præceptum, in pace versabitur. Animæ dolosæ errant in peccatis: justi autem misericordes sunt, et miserantur.
14 The instruction of a wise man is as the welspring of life, to turne away from the snares of death.
Lex sapientis fons vitæ, ut declinet a ruina mortis.
15 Good vnderstanding maketh acceptable: but the way of the disobedient is hated.
Doctrina bona dabit gratiam; in itinere contemptorum vorago.
16 Euery wise man will worke by knowledge: but a foole will spread abroade folly.
Astutus omnia agit cum consilio; qui autem fatuus est aperit stultitiam.
17 A wicked messenger falleth into euill: but a faithfull ambassadour is preseruation.
Nuntius impii cadet in malum; legatus autem fidelis, sanitas.
18 Pouertie and shame is to him that refuseth instruction: but hee that regardeth correction, shalbe honoured.
Egestas et ignominia ei qui deserit disciplinam; qui autem acquiescit arguenti glorificabitur.
19 A desire accomplished deliteth ye soule: but it is an abomination to fooles to depart from euil.
Desiderium si compleatur delectat animam; detestantur stulti eos qui fugiunt mala.
20 He that walketh with the wise, shalbe wise: but a companion of fooles shalbe afflicted.
Qui cum sapientibus graditur sapiens erit; amicus stultorum similis efficietur.]
21 Affliction followeth sinners: but vnto the righteous God will recompense good.
[Peccatores persequitur malum, et justis retribuentur bona.
22 The good man shall giue inheritance vnto his childrens children: and the riches of the sinner is layde vp for the iust.
Bonus reliquit hæredes filios et nepotes, et custoditur justo substantia peccatoris.
23 Much foode is in the fielde of the poore: but the fielde is destroyed without discretion.
Multi cibi in novalibus patrum, et aliis congregantur absque judicio.
24 He that spareth his rodde, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betime.
Qui parcit virgæ odit filium suum; qui autem diligit illum instanter erudit.
25 The righteous eateth to the contentation of his minde: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
Justus comedit et replet animam suam; venter autem impiorum insaturabilis.]
