Proverbs 13
1 Children who are wise (pay attention/heed it) when their parents discipline/correct them; but foolish children do not pay attention when someone rebukes them [for their bad behavior].
Mądry syn [przyjmuje] pouczenie ojca, a szyderca nie słucha strofowania.
2 Good people are rewarded [IDM] for the good things [MET] that they say, but those who desire to deceive others are [very] eager to act violently.
Człowiek będzie spożywać dobro z owocu swoich ust, a dusza przewrotnych [będzie spożywać] przemoc.
3 Those who are [very] careful about what they say [MTY] will live a long life; those who talk (without thinking/too much) will ruin themselves.
Kto strzeże swych ust, strzeże swojej duszy; kto [szeroko] otwiera swe wargi, będzie zniszczony.
4 People who are lazy want things very much, but they will not get anything [HYP]. People who work hard will get all that they want.
Dusza leniwego pragnie, a nic nie ma, a dusza pracowitych zostanie obficie nasycona.
5 Righteous/Honest people hate/detest lies, but what wicked people do (is very disgraceful/stinks) [DOU].
Sprawiedliwy nienawidzi kłamliwego słowa, a niegodziwy staje się obrzydliwy i zhańbiony.
6 The behavior [PRS] of those who always do what is right will protect them, but sinful [behavior will] ruin wicked people.
Sprawiedliwość strzeże tego, który postępuje uczciwie, a niegodziwość powala grzesznika.
7 Some people who have nothing pretend to be rich, but other people who are very rich pretend to be poor.
Znajduje się taki, który czyni siebie bogatym, a nie ma nic; inny czyni siebie ubogim, choć ma wiele bogactw.
8 Rich people are able to pay people who want to kill them, [with the result that they will be protected, not killed], but poor people [do not have to worry about that because] no one threatens to kill them.
Okupem za życie człowieka jest jego bogactwo, a ubogi nie słucha strofowania.
9 Righteous [people] are like a lamp [MET] that shines brightly, but wicked [people] are like [MET] a lamp that will [soon] be extinguished.
Radośnie błyszczy światło sprawiedliwych, a pochodnia niegodziwych zgaśnie.
10 [People] who are arrogant/proud [always] cause strife; those who are wise ask [other people] for good advice.
Spór powstaje tylko dzięki pysze, a mądrość jest przy tych, co przyjmują radę.
11 Those who acquire a lot of money quickly [by doing what is wrong, probably] will lose it [quickly], but if people earn money slowly, the amount of money they have will increase.
Łatwo zdobyte bogactwo zmniejsza się, a kto je gromadzi [swą] ręką, pomnaża je.
12 When people do not receive the things that they are expecting to receive, (it causes them to despair/they become very sad); but if you receive what you are desiring to get, that [will be like a tree] [MET] [whose fruit gives you] life (OR, that will cause you to be joyful).
Przedłużająca się nadzieja sprawia ból sercu, a spełnione pragnienie [jest] drzewem życia.
13 Those who despise [the good] advice [that others give them] are bringing ruin on themselves; those who pay attention to that advice will (be secure/succeed).
Kto gardzi słowem [Bożym], ten zginie, a kto się boi przykazania, dostanie nagrodę.
14 What wise [people] teach is [like] a fountain whose [water] gives life [MET]; what they teach you will help you to escape when something dangerous is threatening to kill you [MET].
Prawo mądrego jest źródłem życia, by uniknąć sideł śmierci.
15 [People] respect those who have good sense, but those who cannot be trusted are on the road to being ruined/destroyed (OR, will have a lot of difficulties/troubles).
Prawdziwy rozum daje łaskę, a droga przewrotnych jest ciężka.
16 Those who have good sense always think carefully/wisely before they do something; foolish people show [by what they say and do] that they are foolish.
Każdy roztropny postępuje rozważnie, a głupi ujawnia głupotę.
17 Messengers who are not reliable cause trouble, but those who faithfully [deliver their messages] cause people to act peacefully.
Niegodziwy posłaniec popada w zło, a wierny wysłannik jest lekarstwem.
18 Those who refuse to pay attention when others discipline/correct them will become poor and disgraced; [people] respect those who accept it when they are rebuked [for their bad behavior].
Ubóstwo i hańba [spadną na] tego, który odrzuca karność, a kto szanuje upomnienia, dozna czci.
19 It is delightful to receive what we desire; foolish people hate/refuse to turn away from doing evil.
Spełnione pragnienie jest słodkie dla duszy, a odwrócenie się od zła budzi odrazę w głupcach.
20 Those who habitually associate with wise people become wise; those who (are close friends of/associate with) foolish people will (regret it/be ruined).
Kto przestaje z mądrymi, będzie mądry, a towarzysz głupców będzie zniszczony.
21 Sinners have trouble [PRS] wherever they go, but things will go well for righteous [people].
Nieszczęście ściga grzeszników, a sprawiedliwych [Bóg] nagrodzi dobrem.
22 When good people [die], their grandchildren inherit their money; but when sinners [die], the money that they had will end up in the hands of righteous [people].
Dobry [człowiek] zostawia dziedzictwo dzieciom [swoich] dzieci, a majątek grzesznika jest zachowany dla sprawiedliwego.
23 [Sometimes] poor [people’s] fields produce plenty of food, but unjust people take away all that food.
Obfita żywność jest na roli ubogich, lecz i ta może niszczeć przez nieroztropność.
24 Those who do not punish their children [for bad behavior] do not [really] love them; those who love their children start to discipline them when the children are still young.
Kto oszczędza swą rózgę, nienawidzi swego syna, a kto go kocha, karze w porę.
25 Righteous [people] have enough food to eat and be satisfied, but the stomachs of wicked [people] [SYN] are [always] empty.
Sprawiedliwy je i syci swoją duszę, a żołądek niegodziwych cierpi niedostatek.
