Proverbs 13
1 A wise son—the instruction of a father, And a scorner—he has not heard rebuke.
filius sapiens doctrina patris qui autem inlusor est non audit cum arguitur
2 A man eats good from the fruit of the mouth, And the soul of the treacherous—violence.
de fructu oris homo saturabitur bonis anima autem praevaricatorum iniqua
3 Whoever is keeping his mouth, is keeping his soul, Whoever is opening wide his lips—ruin to him!
qui custodit os suum custodit animam suam qui autem inconsideratus est ad loquendum sentiet mala
4 The soul of the slothful is desiring, and does not have. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.
vult et non vult piger anima autem operantium inpinguabitur
5 The righteous hates a false word, And the wicked causes abhorrence, and is confounded.
verbum mendax iustus detestabitur impius confundit et confundetur
6 Righteousness keeps him who is perfect in the way, And wickedness overthrows a sin offering.
iustitia custodit innocentis viam impietas vero peccato subplantat
7 There is [he] who is making himself rich, and has nothing, Who is making himself poor, and wealth [is] abundant.
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, And the poor has not heard rebuke.
redemptio animae viri divitiae suae qui autem pauper est increpationem non sustinet
9 The light of the righteous rejoices, And the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
lux iustorum laetificat lucerna autem impiorum extinguetur
10 A vain man causes debate through pride, And wisdom [is] with the counseled.
inter superbos semper iurgia sunt qui autem agunt cuncta consilio reguntur sapientia
11 Wealth from vanity becomes little, And whoever is gathering by the hand becomes great.
substantia festinata minuetur quae autem paulatim colligitur manu multiplicabitur
12 Hope prolonged is making the heart sick, And a tree of life [is] the coming desire.
spes quae differtur adfligit animam lignum vitae desiderium veniens
13 Whoever is despising the word is destroyed for it, And whoever is fearing the command is repaid.
qui detrahit alicui rei ipse se in futurum obligat qui autem timet praeceptum in pace versabitur
14 The law of the wise [is] a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.
lex sapientis fons vitae ut declinet a ruina mortis
15 Good understanding gives grace, And the way of the treacherous [is] hard.
doctrina bona dabit gratiam in itinere contemptorum vorago
16 Every prudent one deals with knowledge, And a fool spreads out folly.
astutus omnia agit cum consilio qui autem fatuus est aperit stultitiam
17 A wicked messenger falls into evil, And a faithful ambassador is healing.
nuntius impii cadet in malum legatus fidelis sanitas
18 Whoever is refusing instruction—poverty and shame, And whoever is observing reproof is honored.
egestas et ignominia ei qui deserit disciplinam qui autem adquiescit arguenti glorificabitur
19 A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul, And an abomination to fools [Is] to turn from evil.
desiderium si conpleatur delectat animam detestantur stulti eos qui fugiunt mala
20 Whoever is walking with wise men is wise, And a companion of fools suffers evil.
qui cum sapientibus graditur sapiens erit amicus stultorum efficietur similis
21 Evil pursues sinners, And good repays the righteous.
peccatores persequetur malum et iustis retribuentur bona
22 A good man causes sons’ sons to inherit, And the sinner’s wealth [is] laid up for the righteous.
bonus relinquet heredes filios et nepotes et custoditur iusto substantia peccatoris
23 Abundance of food—the tillage of the poor, And substance is consumed without judgment.
multi cibi in novalibus patrum et alii congregantur absque iudicio
24 Whoever is sparing his rod is hating his son, And whoever is loving him has hurried his discipline.
qui parcit virgae suae odit filium suum qui autem diligit illum instanter erudit
25 The righteous is eating to the satiety of his soul, And the belly of the wicked lacks!
iustus comedit et replet animam suam venter autem impiorum insaturabilis
