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 på 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 står 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 åbenmundede falder i Våde.
4 The sluggard, desireth, but his soul hath, nothing. But, the soul of the diligent, shall be enriched.
Den lade attrår uden at få, 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 får 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 går 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 råde, er Visdom.
11 Wealth gotten by greed, diminisheth, but, he that gathereth by little, increaseth.
Rigdom, vundet i Hast, smuldrer hen, hvad der samles Håndfuld for Håndfuld, 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 hånt om Ordet, slås ned, den, der frygter Budet, får Løn.
14 the instruction of the wise, is a well-spring of life, by departing from the snares of death.
Vismands Lære er en Livsens Kilde, derved undgås Dødens Snarer.

Hver, som er klog, går til Værks med Kundskab, Tåben udfolder Dårskab.
17 A lawless messenger, falleth into mischief, but, a faithful herald, bringeth healing.
Gudløs Budbringer går 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, får man Armod og Skam; agtes på 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 Tåber en Gru.
20 He that walketh with the wise, becometh wise, but, the friend of dullards, becometh foolish.
Omgås Vismænd, så bliver du viis, ilde faren er Tåbers Ven.
21 Evil pursueth, sinners, but, unto the righteous, shall good be recompensed.
Vanheld følger Syndere, Lykken når 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 Børnebrn 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.
På 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.
