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 iustus detestabitur: impius autem confundit, et confundetur.
6 Righteousnesse preserueth the vpright of life: but wickednes ouerthroweth the sinner.
Iustitia 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 iustorum lætificat: lucerna autem impiorum extinguetur.
10 Onely by pride doeth man make contention: but with the well aduised is wisdome.
Inter superbos semper iurgia 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: iusti 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.
Nuncius 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 iustis 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 heredes filios, et nepotes: et custoditur iusto 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 iudicio.
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.
Iustus comedit, et replet animam suam: venter autem impiorum insaturabilis.
