Proverbs 28
1 They flee and there not [is one who] pursues [the] wicked and righteous [people] like a young lion he is confident.
Mechan yo pa bezwen moun dèyè yo pou yo kouri. Men, moun ki mache dwat yo brav tankou lyon.
2 By [the] transgression of a land [are] many princes its and by a person understanding knowing thus it will last long.
Lè nan yon peyi moun ap fè sa ki mal, chak jou gen yon lòt chèf. Men avèk yon moun ki gen konprann, ki konnen sa l'ap fè, gouvènman an ap kanpe pou lontan.
3 A man poor and [who] oppresses poor [people] rain [which] washes away and there not [is] food.
Yon pòv k'ap peze pi pòv pase l', se tankou yon gwo lapli ki gate tout jaden nèt.
4 [those who] forsake [the] law They praise [the] wicked and [those who] keep [the] law they engage in strife with them.
Moun ki pa respekte lalwa bay mechan yo pye sou moun. Men, moun ki fè sa lalwa mande, se moun ki pran pozisyon kont mechan yo.
5 People of evil not they understand justice and [those who] seek Yahweh they understand everything.
Mechan yo pa konnen sa ki rele jistis. Men, moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a konprann tout bagay.
6 [is] good A poor [person] [who] walks in integrity his more than [the] [person] perverse of two ways and he [is] rich.
Pito ou pòv men ou serye, pase pou ou rich men ou vòlè.
7 [one who] keeps [the] law [is] a son Understanding and [one who] associates with gluttons he shames father his.
Yon jenn gason ki fè tou sa lalwa mande, se pitit ki gen lespri. Men, moun ki fè zanmi ak vakabon se yon wont pou papa l'.
8 [one who] increases Wealth his by interest (and usury *Q(K)*) for [one who] shows favor to poor [people] he gathers it.
Moun ki vin rich nan prete moun lajan, nan bay kout ponya, se anpile y'ap anpile lajan pou moun ki konn pran ka malere.
9 [one who] turns aside Ear his from hearing [the] law also prayer his [is] an abomination.
Lè ou refize fè sa lalwa mande ou fè a, ata lapriyè w'ap fè a p'ap fè Bondye plezi.
10 [one who] leads astray Upright [people] - in a way evil in own pit his he he will fall and blameless [people] they will inherit good.
Lè yon moun chache pran tèt yon nonm serye pou fè l' fè sa ki mal, se li menm k'ap pran nan pèlen an. Men moun serye a va jwenn bon rekonpans.
11 [is] wise In own eyes his a person rich and a poor [person] understanding he examines thoroughly him.
Yon nonm rich mete nan tèt li li gen bon konprann. Men, yon pòv ki gen lespri ap dekouvri l'.
12 When rejoice righteous [people] great glory and when arise wicked [people] he is searched for everyone.
Lè se moun k'ap fè sa ki dwat ki rive chèf, se fèt pou tout moun. Men, lè se mechan an ki rive chèf, tout moun al kache.
13 [one who] conceals Transgressions his not he will prosper and [one who] confesses and [one who] forsakes [them] he will be shown mercy.
Moun k'ap kache peche p'ap janm wè zafè yo mache. Men, Bondye va gen pitye pou moun ki rekonèt peche yo, pou moun ki chanje lavi yo.
14 How blessed! [is] a person [who] fears continually and [one who] hardens heart his he will fall in calamity.
Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki toujou gen krentif pou Bondye! Men, moun k'ap fè tèt di ak Bondye ap wè malè tonbe sou yo.
15 A lion roaring and a bear rushing a ruler wicked over a people poor.
Yon chèf malveyan se tankou lyon ki move, tankou lous ki grangou. Pòv malere san sekou devan yo.
16 A ruler lacking of understanding and great of extortion ([one who] hates *Q(K)*) unjust gain he will prolong days.
Lè yon chèf pa gen konprann, l'ap peze moun, l'ap fè mechanste. Men, moun ki pa vle wè moun k'ap vòlò ap gouvènen lontan.
17 A person oppressed by [the] blood of a life to [the] pit he will flee may not people support him.
Lè yon moun touye yon lòt, konsyans li boulvèse l', l'ap kouri chache lanmò. Piga pesonn chache kenbe l'.
18 [one who] walks Blameless he will be delivered and [one who] is crooked of two ways he will fall at one.
Malè p'ap rive moun k'ap mennen yon lavi san repwòch. Men, moun ki pa serye, k'ap mache pye gaye, y'ap rete konsa, y'ap tonbe.
19 [one who] tills Land his he will be satisfied food and [one who] pursues empty [things] he will be satisfied poverty.
Yon moun ki travay di nan jaden l' ap jwenn kont manje pou l' manje. Men, moun k'ap fè bagay ki p'ap sèvi anyen ap toujou pòv.
20 A person of faithfulness [will be] great of blessings and [one who] hastens to gain riches not he will go unpunished.
Yon nonm ki serye nan sa l'ap fè ap jwenn anpil benediksyon. Men, yo p'ap manke pini moun k'ap prese pou l' rich.
21 To pay regard to face not [is] good and on a piece of bread he will transgress a man.
Sa pa bon pou gade moun sou figi. Men, pou nenpòt ti kraze kòb, yon jij ka fè betiz.
22 [is] hastening To wealth a person evil of eye and not he knows that poverty it will come to him.
Moun ki anvi tout toujou ap prese pou yo rich. Yo pa wè grangou k'ap tann yo pi devan.
23 [one who] reproves A person after me favor he will find more than [one who] makes smooth [the] tongue.
Lè ou rale zòrèy yon moun, pita l'ap gen plis konsiderasyon pou ou pase pou moun k'ap achte figi l'.
24 [one who] robs - Father his and mother his and [one who] says there not [is] a transgression [is] a companion he of a person of destruction.
Moun k'ap vòlò papa l' ak manman l', epi k'ap di nan kè l': Se pa anyen sa, li menmman parèyman ak moun k'ap mache brize.
25 A [person] arrogant of self he stirs up strife and [one who] relies on Yahweh he will be made fat.
Moun ki anvi tout pou yo ap toujou nan kont. Men, moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Seyè a p'ap janm manke anyen.
26 [one who] trusts In own heart his he [is] a fool and [one who] walks in wisdom he he will be delivered.
Moun ki gen konfyans nan pwòp tèt yo, se moun fou yo ye. Men, moun ki fè sa li konnen li dwe fè a ap sove.
27 [one who] gives To the poor there not [is] lack and [one who] hides eyes his great of curses.
Moun ki bay pòv p'ap janm manke anyen. Men, moun ki fè tankou li pa wè pòv yo chaje ak madichon.
28 When arise wicked [people] he hides himself everyone and when perish they they increase righteous [people].
Lè se mechan ki rive chèf, tout moun al kache. Men, tonbe mechan yo tonbe, moun k'ap mache dwat yo kanpe ankò.
