Proverbs 11
1 Yahweh detests [people who use] scales that do not weigh correctly; he is delighted with [those who use] correct weights on the scales.
Falsk våg är Herranom en styggelse; men en full vigt är honom behagelig.
2 [People who are] proud will [eventually] be disgraced; it is wise to be humble.
Der stolthet är, der är ock föraktelse; men vishet är när de ödmjuka.
3 [People who are] good are guided by [doing what is] honest; those who are not honest will be ruined because of the wrong things that they do.
Oskyldighet skall ledade fromma; men ondskan skall förstöra de föraktare.
4 [Your] money will not help [you] on the day that [God] judges [and punishes people]; but if you live righteously, you will live a long time.
Gods hjelper intet på vredenes dag; men rättfärdighet frälsar ifrå döden.
5 When people are honest and good, that will (direct their paths/show them what is right for them to do); but wicked [people will] experience disasters because of the evil things that they do.
Dens frommas rättfärdighet gör hans väg rättan; men den ogudaktige skall falla genom sitt ogudaktiga väsende.
6 [God] rescues/protects righteous [people] because they (are honest/do what is right), but those who (are treacherous/cannot be trusted) will be trapped because of their being greedy.
De frommas rättfärdighet skall fria dem; men de föraktare varda fångne uti sine skalkhet.
7 When wicked [people] die, they cannot confidently expect to receive anything [that is good]; they expect that [their money] will help/save them, but it will not.
När den ogudaktiga menniskan dör, så är hoppet borto; och det de orättfärdige vänta, blifver omintet.
8 [Yahweh] rescues righteous [people] from their troubles/difficulties; instead, it is the wicked who will have troubles.
Den rättfärdige varder förlossad utu nöd, och den ogudaktige kommer i hans stad.
9 Godless people can ruin others by what they say [MTY], but righteous [people will] be saved by [their (own] good sense/being wise).
Genom skrymtarens mun varder hans näste förderfvad; men de rättfärdige märka det, och varda förlossade.
10 When things go well for righteous [people], [the people in] [MTY] their city are happy, and they shout joyfully when wicked [people] die.
En stad gläder sig, när dem rättfärdigom väl går, och der de ogudaktige förgöras varder man glad.
11 When righteous [people request God to] bless a city, that city will become great, but cities are ruined by what wicked [people] say [MTY].
Genom de frommas välsignelse varder en stad upphöjd; men genom dens ogudaktigas mun varder han nederbruten.
12 It is foolish to despise others; those who (have good sense/are wise) do not say anything [to criticize others].
Den som sin nästa skämmer, han är en dåre; men en förståndig man stillar det.
13 Those who (spread gossip/tell bad things about others) will tell your secrets [to others], but if there is someone whom you can trust, you can trust him to not tell your secrets [to others].
En baktalare röjer hvad han hemliga vet; men den som ett trofast hjerta hafver, han döljer det.
14 A nation will be destroyed/ruined if it does not have [leaders] who guide it [wisely]; but if there are many [good] advisors, the nation remains secure.
Der intet råd är, der far folket illa; men der månge rådgifvare äro, der går det väl till.
15 If you promise a stranger that you will pay his debt [if he cannot pay it himself], you will regret it. You will be safe if you refuse to guarantee that you will pay someone else’s debts.
Den som för en annan i borgan går, han får skada; men den sig för borgan vaktar, han är säker.
16 [People] honor/respect women who are kind/gracious; ruthless/violent people may get a lot of money, [but that is all that they will get].
Den qvinna hafver ynnest, som ärona bevarar; men det äro de starke, som rikedomar bevara.
17 Those who are kind benefit themselves [because others will be kind to them], but those who are cruel will hurt themselves [because others will be cruel to them].
En barmhertig man gör sinom kropp godt; men en obarmhertig bedröfvar ock sitt kött och blod.
18 If wicked people earn a lot of money, that will deceive them [because they will not keep it for very long], but those who do what is right will surely be rewarded [by God forever].
De ogudaktigas verk skall fela; men den som rättfärdighet sår, det är icke fåfängt.
19 Those who always do what is right will live [a long/happy life], but those who insist on doing what is wrong will not live [very long].
Ty rättfärdighet fordrar till lifs; men fara efter ondt, det fordrar till döden.
20 Yahweh hates those who are always thinking about doing evil things, but he is delighted with those who always do what is right.
Herren hafver en styggelse till vrång hjerta, och ett behag till de fromma.
21 It is certain that [Yahweh] will punish evil people and that righteous people will escape [from being punished].
Dem ondom hjelper intet, om de än alle lade händer tillsamman; men de rättfärdigas säd skall hulpen varda.
22 [It is] ([unsuitable/not proper/disgusting]) for a beautiful woman not to know what is right to do, like [SIM] [it is unsuitable/disgusting] for a pig to have a gold ring in its snout/nose.
En dägelig qvinna utan tukt är lika som en so med ett gyldene spann på näsone.
23 When the things that righteous people want happen, it brings good [to them and to others], but when the wicked get what they want, it causes everyone else to become angry.
De rätträrdigas önskan måste dock väl gå, och det de ogudaktige vänta, är olycka.
24 Some people give [their money] generously [to poor people], but they become richer [in spite of that], and some people hold tightly to their money, but they still become poor [in spite of that].
Den ene skiftar ut, och får alltid mer; men den andre är nidsk, der han icke skall, och varder dock fattigare.
25 Those who give generously [to others] will prosper; if you help others, [they/someone] will help you, too.
Den själ, som rikeliga välsignar, varder fet; och den som drucknan gör, han skall ock drucken varda.
26 People curse/despise someone who hoards his grain [and does not sell it], waiting to get a higher/bigger price for it, but they praise someone who sells it [when people need it, even when the price is not high].
Den som korn innehåller, honom banna menniskorna; men välsignelse kommer öfver honom, som det säljer.
27 If you sincerely want to [do what is] right, [people] will respect you, but if you are wanting to cause trouble, trouble is what you will get.
Den som något godt söker, honom vederfars godt; men den som efter ondt far, det skall hända honom.
28 Those who trust in their money will [disappear like the] withered [leaves that fall from the trees], but righteous [people] will keep going strong, like green leaves [in the summer].
Den sig uppå sina rikedomar förlåter, han skall förgås; men de rättfärdige skola grönskas såsom löf.
29 Those who bring troubles to their families will inherit nothing [MET] [from them], and those who do foolish things [like that] will [some day] become the servants of wise [people].
Den som sitt eget hus bedröfvar, han skall få väder till arfvedel; och en dåre måste dens visas tjenare vara.
30 Those who live righteously will live [for a long time], but [those who act] violently will destroy [their own] lives (OR, those who are wise will have many people come and live with them).
Dens rättfärdigas frukt är lifsens trä, och en vis man låter sig om menniskorna hjerteliga vårda.
31 [Sometimes] righteous [people] are rewarded [here] on the earth, but it is much more certain that very wicked people [DOU] [will be rewarded by being punished].
Efter den rättfärdige på jordene lida måste; huru mycket mer den ogudaktige och syndaren?
