Proverbs 19
1 Conducting our lives as we should [even though] we are poor is better than being foolish and telling lies.
Melhor é o pobre que anda na sua sinceridade, do que o perverso de labios e tolo:
2 Being enthusiastic but not thinking carefully [about what we are about to do] is not good; doing things hastily can cause us a lot of trouble [IDM].
Assim como ficar a alma sem conhecimento não é bom, e o apressado nos pés pecca.
3 Some people are ruined as a result of their [own] foolish actions, and when that happens, they [SYN] angrily say that it is Yahweh’s fault.
A estulticia do homem perverterá o seu caminho, e o seu coração se irará contra o Senhor.
4 Those who are rich easily find people who want to be their friends, but when [people become] poor, their friends [often] desert them.
As riquezas grangeiam muitos amigos, mas ao pobre o seu proprio amigo o deixa.
5 Those who tell lies in court will surely be punished [LIT]; they will not escape it.
A falsa testemunha não ficará innocente, e o que respira mentiras não escapará.
6 Many [people] try to persuade important people to do favors for them; everyone [wants to] be a friend of those who give gifts.
Muitos supplicam a face do principe, e cada um é amigo d'aquelle que dá dadivas.
7 [Even] the relatives of someone who becomes poor hate him, and his friends certainly stay away from him, too; [even] if he tries to talk with them, they will not be his friends [again].
Todos os irmãos do pobre o aborrecem; quanto mais se alongarão d'elles os seus amigos! corre d'após elles com palavras, que não servem de nada.
8 Those who become wise [IDM] are doing a favor for themselves; those who get good sense will prosper.
O que adquire entendimento ama a sua alma: o que guarda intelligencia achará o bem.
9 Those who tell lies in court will certainly be punished [LIT]; they will be ruined.
A falsa testemunha não ficará innocente; e o que respira mentiras perecerá.
10 It is not appropriate for foolish people to live (luxuriously/like rich people), and it is even less appropriate for slaves to rule important officials.
Ao tolo não está bem o deleite; quanto menos ao servo dominar os principes!
11 Those who have good sense do not quickly become angry; people respect those who ignore offensive [things that people say to them].
O entendimento do homem retem a sua ira, e a sua gloria é passar sobre a transgressão.
12 When a king is angry, [that causes people to be afraid of him], like the roar of a lion [causes people to be afraid] [SIM], but if he acts kindly toward people, [they like it just] like [they like] dew on the grass [in the morning].
Como o bramido do filho do leão, é a indignação do rei; mas como o orvalho sobre a herva é a sua benevolencia.
13 Foolish children [can] cause disasters to happen to their parents. A wife who constantly (nags/quarrels with) [her husband is as annoying as] water that continually drips [MET].
Grande miseria é para o pae o filho insensato, e um gotejar continuo as contenções da mulher.
14 We [can] inherit a house or money from our parents [when they die], but only Yahweh [can] give someone a sensible wife.
A casa e a fazenda são a herança dos paes; porém do Senhor vem a mulher prudente.
15 Those who are lazy sleep soundly, but if they are lazy, they will be hungry [because of not earning money to buy food].
A preguiça faz cair em profundo somno, e a alma enganadora padecerá fome.
16 Those who obey [God’s] commandments will remain alive [for a long time]; those who despise/disobey them (OR, those who do not control their own conduct) will die [while they are still young].
O que guardar o mandamento guardará a sua alma; porém o que desprezar os seus caminhos morrerá.
17 When we give things to poor [people], [it is as though] we are lending to Yahweh, and he will (pay us back/reward us for what we did).
Ao Senhor empresta o que se compadece do pobre, e elle lhe pagará o seu beneficio.
18 Discipline your children while [they are young], while you still hope that [they will learn to behave as they should]; [if you do not discipline them], you are helping them to destroy [themselves].
Castiga a teu filho emquanto ha esperança, porém para o matar não alçarás a tua alma
19 Those who (do not control their temper/quickly become very angry) will have to endure what happens as a result; [but] if we rescue them [from those troubles once], we will have to continue rescuing them.
O que é de grande indignação supportará o damno; porque se tu o livrares, ainda terás de tornar a fazel-o.
20 Pay attention when [people give you good] advice and learn from them, in order that you will become wise for the rest of your life.
Ouve o conselho, e recebe a correcção, para que sejas sabio nos teus ultimos dias.
21 People plan to do many [kinds of things], but what will happen is what Yahweh has decided will happen.
Muitos propositos ha no coração do homem, porém o conselho do Senhor permanecerá.
22 People want others to be loyal to them; it is better to be poor than to tell a lie [to a judge in court in order to get money].
O desejo do homem é a sua beneficencia; porém o pobre é melhor do que o mentiroso.
23 [Those who have] an awesome respect for Yahweh will live [a long life]; they rest peacefully and are not harmed [during the night].
O temor do Senhor encaminha para a vida; aquelle que o tem ficará satisfeito, e não o visitará mal nenhum.
24 Some people are extremely lazy; they put their hand in a dish [to take some food] but do not even lift the food up to their mouths.
O preguiçoso esconde a sua mão no seio; enfada-se de tornal-a á sua bocca.
25 If you punish someone who makes fun of those who are wise, those who (are naive/need to be instructed) will learn to do what is smart; if you rebuke those who are wise, they will [listen to what you say and] become wiser.
Fere o escarnecedor, e o simples tomará aviso; reprehende ao entendido, e aprenderá conhecimento.
26 Anyone who mistreats/abuses his father or forces his mother to leave the home is a child who is acting shamefully and disgracefully.
O que afflige a seu pae, ou afugenta a sua mãe, filho é que traz vergonha e deshonra.
27 My son, if you stop learning things, you will [soon] forget what [you already] know.
Cessa, filho meu, ouvindo a instrucção, de te desviares das palavras do conhecimento.
28 Worthless witnesses [in court] make fun of [judges who try to] make fair decisions, and wicked people [enjoy] doing evil [like] they enjoy eating [good food] [MET].
A testemunha de Belial escarnece do juizo, e a bocca dos impios engole a iniquidade.
29 [God] is ready to punish those who make fun [of him/religion]; those who do foolish things deserve to be flogged/whipped.
Preparados estão os juizos para os escarnecedores e açoites para as costas dos tolos.
