Proverbs 13
1 A wise son, [cometh of] a father’s correction, but, a scoffer, heareth not a rebuke.
Viis Søn elsker tugt, spotter hører ikke paa skænd.
2 Of the fruit of his mouth, shall a man eat what is good, but, the soul of the treacherous, [shall be sated with] violence.
Af sin Munds Frugt nyder en Mand kun godt, til Vold staar troløses Hu.
3 He that watcheth his mouth, guardeth his soul, He that openeth wide his lips, [it shall be] his ruin.
Vogter man Munden, bevarer man Sjælen, den aabenmundede falder i Vaade.
4 The sluggard, desireth, but his soul hath, nothing. But, the soul of the diligent, shall be enriched.
Den lade attraar uden at faa, men flittiges Sjæl bliver mæt.
5 A word of falsehood, the righteous man, hateth, but, the lawless, causeth shame and disgrace.
Den retfærdige hader Løgnetale, den gudløse spreder Skam og Skændsel.
6 Righteousness, guardeth the man of blameless way, but, lawlessness, overthroweth the sinner.
Retfærd skærmer, hvo lydefrit vandrer, Synden fælder de gudløse.
7 There is who feigneth himself rich, yet hath nothing at all, who pleadeth poverty, yet hath great substance.
Mangen lader rig og ejer dog intet, mangen lader fattig og ejer dog meget.
8 The ransom of a man’s life, is his wealth, but, the poor, heareth not rebuke.
Mands Rigdom er Løsepenge for hans Liv, Fattigmand faar ingen Trusel at høre.
9 The light of the righteous, rejoiceth, but, the lamp of the lawless, goeth out.
Retfærdiges Lys bryder frem, gudløses Lampe gaar ud.
10 Only by pride, doth one cause contention, but, with the well-advised, is wisdom.
Ved Hovmod vækkes kun Splid, hos dem, der lader sig raade, er Visdom.
11 Wealth gotten by greed, diminisheth, but, he that gathereth by little, increaseth.
Rigdom, vundet i Hast, smuldrer hen, hvad der samles Haandfuld for Haandfuld, øges.
12 Hope deferred, sickeneth the heart, —but, a tree of life, is desire fulfilled.
At bie længe gør Hjertet sygt, opfyldt Ønske er et Livets Træ.
13 He that despiseth a matter, shall get pledged thereto, but, he that revereth a commandment, the same shall be recompensed.
Den, der lader haant om Ordet, slaas ned, den, der frygter Budet, faar Løn.
14 the instruction of the wise, is a well-spring of life, by departing from the snares of death.

Hver, som er klog, gaar til Værks med Kundskab, Taaben udfolder Daarskab.
17 A lawless messenger, falleth into mischief, but, a faithful herald, bringeth healing.
Gudløs Budbringer gaar det galt, troværdigt Bud bringer Lægedom.
18 Poverty and contempt, are for him that neglecteth correction, but, he that regardeth reproof, shall be honoured.
Afvises Tugt, faar man Armod og Skam; agtes paa Revselse, bliver man æret.
19 A desire fulfilled, is sweet to the soul, but it is, an abomination to the lawless, to depart from evil.
Opfyldt Ønske er sødt for Sjælen, at vige fra ondt er Taaber en Gru.
20 He that walketh with the wise, becometh wise, but, the friend of dullards, becometh foolish.
Omgaas Vismænd, saa bliver du viis, ilde faren er Taabers Ven.
21 Evil pursueth, sinners, but, unto the righteous, shall good be recompensed.
Vanheld følger Syndere, Lykken naar de retfærdige.
22 A good man, leaveth an inheritance to children’s children, but, laid up for the righteous, is the wealth of the sinner.
Den gode efterlader Børnebørn Arv, til retfærdige gemmes Synderens Gods.
23 Much food, is in the fallow ground of the poor, but there is that is swept away, for want of justice.
Paa Fattigfolks Nyjord er rigelig Føde, mens mangen rives bort ved Uret.
24 He that withholdeth his rod, hateth his son, —but, he that loveth him, carefully correcteth him.
Hvo Riset sparer, hader sin Søn, den, der elsker ham, tugter i Tide.
25 The righteous, eateth to satisfy his appetite, but, the belly of the lawless, shall want.
Den retfærdige spiser, til Sulten er stillet, gudløses Bug er tom.
