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].
Um filho sábio ouve as instruções de seu pai, mas um zombador não dá ouvidos a repreensões.
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.
Pelo fruto de seus lábios, um homem desfruta de coisas boas, mas os infiéis anseiam pela violência.
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.
Aquele que guarda sua boca guarda sua alma. Aquele que abre bem os lábios vem à ruína.
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.
A alma do preguiçoso deseja, e não tem nada, mas o desejo dos diligentes deve ser plenamente satisfeito.
5 Righteous/Honest people hate/detest lies, but what wicked people do (is very disgraceful/stinks) [DOU].

7 Some people who have nothing pretend to be rich, but other people who are very rich pretend to be poor.
Há alguns que fingem ser ricos, mas não têm nada. Há alguns que fingem ser pobres, mas têm uma grande riqueza.
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.
O resgate da vida de um homem é sua riqueza, mas os pobres não ouvem ameaças.
9 Righteous [people] are like a lamp [MET] that shines brightly, but wicked [people] are like [MET] a lamp that will [soon] be extinguished.
A luz dos justos brilha intensamente, mas a lâmpada dos malvados é apagada.
10 [People] who are arrogant/proud [always] cause strife; those who are wise ask [other people] for good advice.
O orgulho só gera brigas, mas a sabedoria está com as pessoas que aceitam conselhos.
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.

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).
O adiamento da esperança faz o coração adoecer, mas quando a saudade é satisfeita, é uma árvore da vida.
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).
Whoever despreza a instrução pagará por ela, mas aquele que respeita um comando será recompensado.
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].
O ensinamento dos sábios é uma fonte de vida, para se livrar das armadilhas da morte.
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).
O bom entendimento ganha o favor, mas o caminho dos infiéis é difícil.

A pobreza e a vergonha chegam até ele que recusa a disciplina, mas aquele que atenta à correção será homenageado.

Um bom homem deixa uma herança para os filhos de seus filhos, mas a riqueza do pecador é armazenada para os justos.
23 [Sometimes] poor [people’s] fields produce plenty of food, but unjust people take away all that food.
Uma abundância de alimentos está nos campos das pessoas pobres, mas a injustiça a varre para longe.

25 Righteous [people] have enough food to eat and be satisfied, but the stomachs of wicked [people] [SYN] are [always] empty.
