Proverbs 12
1 Those who want to know [what is right to do] want to be (disciplined/corrected) when they do what is wrong; it is foolish to not want to be (corrected/told that what you did is wrong).
A ki szereti a dorgálást, szereti a tudományt; a ki pedig gyűlöli a fenyítéket, oktalan az.
2 Yahweh is pleased with good people, but he condemns those who plan to harm [others].
A jó ember jóakaratot nyer az Úrtól; de a gonosz embert kárhoztatja ő.
3 People do not become secure/safe by doing what is wicked; righteous [people] will be very safe and secure [LIT] like [MET] a tree that has deep roots.
Nem erősül meg ember az istentelenséggel; az igazaknak pedig gyökerök ki nem mozdul.
4 A good wife is one who causes her husband to be greatly honored, but a wife who does things that cause her husband to be ashamed [will destroy him] like [SIM] cancer [destroys] his bones.
A derék asszony koronája az ő férjének; de mint az ő csontjaiban való rothadás, olyan a megszégyenítő.
5 What righteous [people] want to do is [to treat people] fairly; what wicked [people] want to do is to deceive people.
Az igazaknak gondolatjaik igazak; az istentelenek tanácsa csalás.
6 What wicked [people] say is like a trap [MET] that kills [MTY] people [who pass by], but what righteous [people] say [MTY] rescues those whom [wicked people threaten to harm].
Az istenteleneknek beszédei leselkednek a vér után; az igazaknak pedig szája megszabadítja azokat.
7 Wicked [people] will die [before they become old and we will see] them no more, but righteous people will live [for many years] and have many descendants.
Leomlanak az istentelenek, és oda lesznek; az igazak háza pedig megáll.
8 [People will] praise those who have good sense, but [people will] despise those (who are always thinking about doing evil things/whose thinking is twisted).
Az ő értelme szerint dicsértetik a férfiú; de az elfordult elméjű útálatos lesz.
9 It is better to be a humble/ordinary person who has only one servant than to think that you are very important while you have nothing to eat.
Jobb, a kit kevésre tartanak, és szolgája van, mint a ki magát felmagasztalja, és szűk kenyerű.
10 Righteous people take care of their domestic animals, but wicked people act cruelly [toward their animals].
Az igaz az ő barmának érzését is ismeri, az istentelenek szíve pedig kegyetlen.
11 Farmers who work hard in their fields will [produce good crops] that will give them plenty to eat, but those who waste their time working on worthless projects are foolish.
A ki míveli az ő földét, megelégedik eledellel; a ki pedig követ hiábavalókat, bolond az.
12 Wicked [people] desire to take away what [other] evil people have, but [Yahweh] enables righteous/godly [people] to be steadfast and productive [MET].
Kivánja az istentelen a gonoszok prédáját; de az igaznak gyökere ád gyümölcsöt.
13 Evil people are trapped by the evil things that they say [MTY], but righteous [people] escape from trouble.
Az ajkaknak vétkében gonosz tőr van, de kimenekedik a nyomorúságból az igaz.
14 People are rewarded for [the good things] that they say [to others], and people are [also] rewarded for the good work that they do [MTY].
Az ő szájának gyümölcséből elégedik meg a férfi jóval; és az ő cselekedetének fizetését veszi az ember önmagának.
15 Foolish people [always] think that what they are doing is right; wise people heed [other people when they give them good] advice.
A bolondnak úta helyes az ő szeme előtt, de a ki tanácscsal él, bölcs az.
16 Foolish people quickly become angry when someone does something that they don’t like; but those who have good sense ignore it when others insult them.
A bolondnak haragja azon napon megismertetik; elfedezi pedig a szidalmat az eszes ember.
17 [In the courtroom], honest people say what is true, but untruthful/dishonest people tell [nothing but] lies.
A ki igazán szól, megjelenti az igazságot, a hamis bizonyság pedig az álnokságot.
18 What some people say [hurts people badly], as much as [SIM] a sword can; but what wise [people] say (heals [others’ souls]/comforts others).
Van olyan, a ki beszél hasonlókat a tőrszúrásokhoz; de a bölcseknek nyelve orvosság.
19 When people tell [MTY] lies, others soon realize that what they said is not true [IDM]; but when people say what is true, others will remember that forever.
Az igazmondó ajak megáll mind örökké; a hazugságnak pedig nyelve egy szempillantásig.
20 Those who plan to do what is evil are always wanting to deceive [others], but things will go well for those who plan [to do] good things.
Álnokság van a gonosz gondolóknak szívében; a békességnek tanácsosiban pedig vígasság.
21 Bad things [usually] [HYP] do not happen to righteous [people], but wicked [people] always have troubles.
Nem vettetik az igaz semmi bántásba; az istentelenek pedig teljesek nyavalyával.
22 Yahweh detests those [MTY] who tell lies, but he is delighted with those who faithfully do what they promise that they will do.
Útálatosok az Úrnál a csalárd beszédek; a kik pedig cselekesznek hűségesen, kedvesek ő nála.
23 Those with good sense do not reveal [all] that they know; foolish people show [clearly] by what they say that they (are ignorant/have not learned much).
Az eszes ember elfedezi a tudományt; a bolondok elméje pedig kikiáltja a bolondságot.
24 Those [SYN] who work hard become rulers [of others]; those who are lazy become slaves [of others.]
A gyorsaknak keze uralkodik; a rest pedig adófizető lesz.
25 When people are anxious/worried, they become depressed/dejected, but when others speak kindly to them, it causes them to be cheerful again.
A férfiúnak elméjében való gyötrelem megalázza azt; a jó szó pedig megvidámítja azt.
26 Godly/Righteous people try to [give good advice to] their friends (OR, try to make friends with others), but the manner in which wicked [people] live misleads their friends.
Útba igazítja az ő felebarátját az igaz; de az istentelenek útja eltévelyíti őket.
27 Lazy people do not even [cook the meat of] the animals that they catch/kill, but those who work hard will acquire (OR, are like) a valuable treasure.
Nem süti meg a rest, a mit vadászásával fogott; de drága marhája az embernek serénysége.
28 Those who (live righteously/continually do what is right) are [walking] on the road to a long life; (it is not a road to death/they will not die when they are still young).
Az igazságnak útjában van élet; és az ő ösvényének úta halhatatlanság.
