Proverbs 13
1 A wise son is instructed of his father; but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
Filius sapiens doctrina patris; qui autem illusor est non audit cum arguitur.
2 A man shall eat good from the fruit of his mouth; but the desire of the faithless is violence.
De fructu oris sui homo satiabitur bonis: anima autem prævaricatorum iniqua.
3 He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life; but for him that openeth wide his lips there shall be ruin.
Qui custodit os suum custodit animam suam; qui autem inconsideratus est ad loquendum, sentiet mala.
4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be abundantly gratified.
Vult et non vult piger; anima autem operantium impinguabitur.
5 A righteous man hateth lying; but a wicked man behaveth vilely and shamefully.
Verbum mendax justus detestabitur; impius autem confundit, et confundetur.
6 Righteousness guardeth him that is upright in the way; but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
Justitia custodit innocentis viam, impietas autem peccatorem supplantat.
7 There is that pretendeth himself rich, yet hath nothing; there is that pretendeth himself poor, yet hath great wealth.
Est quasi dives, cum nihil habeat, et est quasi pauper, cum in multis divitiis sit.
8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches; but the poor heareth no threatening.
Redemptio animæ viri divitiæ suæ; qui autem pauper est, increpationem non sustinet.
9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth; but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
Lux justorum lætificat: lucerna autem impiorum extinguetur.
10 By pride cometh only contention; but with the well-advised is wisdom.
Inter superbos semper jurgia sunt; qui autem agunt omnia cum consilio, reguntur sapientia.
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; but he that gathereth little by little shall increase.
Substantia festinata minuetur; quæ autem paulatim colligitur manu, multiplicabitur.
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
Spes quæ differtur affligit animam; lignum vitæ desiderium veniens.
13 Whoso despiseth the word shall suffer thereby; but he that feareth the commandment shall be 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 teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
Lex sapientis fons vitæ, ut declinet a ruina mortis.
15 Good understanding giveth grace; but the way of the faithless is harsh.
Doctrina bona dabit gratiam; in itinere contemptorum vorago.
16 Every prudent man dealeth with forethought; but a fool unfoldeth folly.
Astutus omnia agit cum consilio; qui autem fatuus est aperit stultitiam.
17 A wicked messenger falleth into evil; but a faithful ambassador is health.
Nuntius impii cadet in malum; legatus autem fidelis, sanitas.
18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction; but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
Egestas et ignominia ei qui deserit disciplinam; qui autem acquiescit arguenti glorificabitur.
19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; and it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.
Desiderium si compleatur delectat animam; detestantur stulti eos qui fugiunt mala.
20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise; but the companion of fools shall smart for it.
Qui cum sapientibus graditur sapiens erit; amicus stultorum similis efficietur.
21 Evil pursueth sinners; but to the righteous good shall be repaid.
Peccatores persequitur malum, et justis retribuentur bona.
22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.
Bonus reliquit hæredes filios et nepotes, et custoditur justo substantia peccatoris.
23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor; but there is that is swept away by want of righteousness.
Multi cibi in novalibus patrum, et aliis congregantur absque judicio.
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Qui parcit virgæ odit filium suum; qui autem diligit illum instanter erudit.
25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his desire; but the belly of the wicked shall want.
Justus comedit et replet animam suam; venter autem impiorum insaturabilis.
