< Proverbs 29 >
1 He who, being often reproved, hardeneth his neck, Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
viro qui corripientem dura cervice contemnit repentinus superveniet interitus et eum sanitas non sequitur
2 When the righteous are powerful, the people rejoice; But when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
in multiplicatione iustorum laetabitur vulgus cum impii sumpserint principatum gemet populus
3 He who loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; But he who is a companion of harlots destroyeth his substance.
vir qui amat sapientiam laetificat patrem suum qui autem nutrit scorta perdet substantiam
4 A king by equity establisheth a land; But he who receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
rex iustus erigit terram vir avarus destruet eam
5 A man who flattereth his neighbor Spreadeth a net for his feet.
homo qui blandis fictisque sermonibus loquitur amico suo rete expandit gressibus eius
6 In the transgression of a wicked man there is a snare; But the righteous shall sing and rejoice.
peccantem virum iniquum involvet laqueus et iustus laudabit atque gaudebit
7 A righteous man careth for the cause of the poor; A wicked man discerneth not knowledge.
novit iustus causam pauperum impius ignorat scientiam
8 Scoffers kindle a city into a flame; But wise men pacify wrath.
homines pestilentes dissipant civitatem sapientes avertunt furorem
9 If a wise man contend in a cause with a fool, Whether he rage or laugh, there will be no rest.
vir sapiens si cum stulto contenderit sive irascatur sive rideat non inveniet requiem
10 The bloodthirsty man hateth the upright; But the righteous seek to preserve his life.
viri sanguinum oderunt simplicem iusti quaerunt animam eius
11 A fool letteth all his anger come out; But a wise man keepeth it back.
totum spiritum suum profert stultus sapiens differt et reservat in posterum
12 If a ruler listen to words of falsehood, All his servants become wicked.
princeps qui libenter audit verba mendacii omnes ministros habebit impios
13 The poor man and the oppressor meet together: The LORD giveth light to the eyes of them both.
pauper et creditor obviam fuerunt sibi utriusque inluminator est Dominus
14 The king that judgeth the poor with uprightness, His throne shall be established for ever.
rex qui iudicat in veritate pauperes thronus eius in aeternum firmabitur
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself bringeth shame to his mother.
virga atque correptio tribuet sapientiam puer autem qui dimittitur voluntati suae confundet matrem suam
16 When the wicked are powerful, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall see their fall.
in multiplicatione impiorum multiplicabuntur scelera et iusti ruinas eorum videbunt
17 Chastise thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight to thy soul.
erudi filium tuum et refrigerabit te et dabit delicias animae tuae
18 Where there is no vision, the people become unruly; But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
cum prophetia defecerit dissipabitur populus qui custodit legem beatus est
19 A servant will not be corrected by words; For, though he understand, he will not obey.
servus verbis non potest erudiri quia quod dicis intellegit et respondere contemnit
20 Seest thou a man hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.
vidisti hominem velocem ad loquendum stulti magis speranda est quam illius correptio
21 He that bringeth up his servant delicately from childhood Shall have him become a son at the last.
qui delicate a pueritia nutrit servum suum postea illum sentiet contumacem
22 An angry man stirreth up strife, And a passionate man aboundeth in transgression.
vir iracundus provocat rixas et qui ad indignandum facilis est erit ad peccata proclivior
23 A man's pride will bring him low; But he that is of a humble spirit shall obtain honor.
superbum sequitur humilitas et humilem spiritu suscipiet gloria
24 He who shareth with a thief hateth himself: He heareth the curse, but maketh no discovery.
qui cum fure partitur odit animam suam adiurantem audit et non indicat
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare; But whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
qui timet hominem cito corruet qui sperat in Domino sublevabitur
26 Many are they who seek the ruler's favor; But every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
multi requirunt faciem principis et a Domino iudicium egreditur singulorum
27 As the unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, So the upright in his way is an abomination to the wicked.
abominantur iusti virum impium et abominantur impii eos qui in recta sunt via
