Proverbs 25
1 Here are more wise sayings/words that Solomon [wrote]. Some men who worked for Hezekiah, the king of Judah, copied them [from a scroll that Solomon had written].
Ezek is Salamon példabeszédei, melyeket összeszedtek Chizkija, Jehúda királyának emberei.
2 [We consider] God to be great because he (acts in mysterious ways/does things that we cannot understand); [we consider] kings to be great because they explain things.
Isten dicsősége elrejteni a dolgot, s a királyok dicsősége: kikutatni a dolgot.
3 [It is not possible for anyone to measure] how high the sky is or how deep the earth/ocean is; likewise [SIM], it is not possible for us to know [all] that kings are thinking.
Az ég magasságra s a föld mélységre – s a királyok szíve kikutathatatlan.
4 [If workers] burn out the impure bits that are in silver, a man who makes things from silver can make something beautiful from the silver.
Eltávolították a salakot az ezüstből, s előállt az ötvös számára az edény:
5 [Similarly, if] wicked [advisors] are taken away from a king, his government will remain secure, because [the king will be able to] act justly.
távolítsák el a gonoszt a király elől, s megszilárdul az igazság által trónja.
6 When you stand in front of a king, do not try to (impress him/honor yourself) and do not (act like you are important/ask to sit where important people sit; )
Ne büszkélkedjél a király előtt és a nagyoknak helyére ne állj;
7 it is better if someone tells you to sit closer [to the king] than for [someone to tell you], while the king is listening, to sit further away in order that someone who is more important [may sit closer to the king].
mert jobb, ha mondják neked: jer fel ide, semhogy megalázzanak a nemes előtt, a hogy látták szemeid.
8 Do not quickly go to a court [to tell the judge about] something that you have seen, because another witness may later [say something that proves that you are wrong, and as a result] you will be disgraced/ashamed. If that happens, (what will you do?/you will not know what to do.) [RHQ]
Ne indulj hamar pörre, mert ugyan mit teszel majd a végén; mikor téged megszégyenít felebarátod.
9 If you and someone else think differently about some matter, settle it between yourselves, and do not tell others any secret [that he has told you].
Pörödet viseld felebarátoddal, de másnak titkát ne áruld el;
10 If others find out that you have told secrets, you will be ashamed, and from that time on, (you will have a bad reputation/people will think badly about you).
nehogy meggyalázzon téged az, a ki hallja, és rossz híred nem szűnik meg.
11 Something that is said that is [very] appropriate is [as delightful as seeing] [SIM] gold apples/ornaments in a silver bowl.
Arany almák ezüst díszítményekben: a maga módjára elmondott szó.
12 When a wise person rebukes/warns someone [SYN] who is willing to listen, that is [as valuable as] [SIM] a gold ring or a gold chain.
Arany gyűrű és színarany ékszer: bölcs feddő halló fülnek.
13 A messenger who (is reliable/tells someone else exactly what he was told to say) refreshes [the spirits of] his bosses who sent him like [SIM] (snow/cold water) refreshes [the ground] at the time that [people] harvest crops.
Mint hónak hidege aratás napján, olyan a hűséges követ a küldőinek, és urának lelkét felüdíti.
14 When someone promises to give a gift to us but never gives it, [that disappoints us] as much as [SIM] clouds and wind that come but do not bring any rain.
Felhők meg szél, de nincs eső: ember, ki dicsekedik hazug adománnyal.
15 If someone keeps requesting a ruler long enough to do something, he will [often] agree to do it; similarly, by speaking [MTY] gently we can [often] convince [others that what we say is right] [IDM].
Hosszantűrés által rábeszélhető a fejedelem és puha nyelv csontot tör.
16 If you find some honey, do not eat a lot of it, because doing that may cause you to vomit.
Mézet találtál, egyél a míg elég neked, nehogy, jól lakván vele, kihánynád.
17 Do not go to your neighbor’s house very often [to talk with him]; if you go [very] often, he will get tired of listening to you and start to hate you.
Gyérré tedd lábadat barátod házában, nehogy jól lakván veled, meggyűlölne téged.
18 To falsely accuse others [in court] is like [SIM] [attacking them with] a war-club or a sword or a sharp arrow.
Buzogány és kard és élesített nyíl: ember, a ki felebarátja ellen hamis tanúként vall.
19 Depending on unreliable people when you have troubles is [as bad] as [trying to eat when] you have a bad/hurting tooth or [trying to walk when] your foot is crippled.
Romlott fog, tántorgó láb: menedék, mely cserben hagy a szorongatás napján.
20 Singing to someone who is depressed [just causes him to feel worse]; it is like [SIM] taking off clothes on a very cold day or like putting vinegar on a wound.
A ki leveti a ruhát fagynak napján, eczet a salétromra: olyan a ki énekeket énekel szomorú szívre.
21 If your enemies are hungry, give them something to eat; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink;
Ha éhezik gyűlölőd, adj ennie kenyeret, és ha, szomjazik, adj innia vizet;
22 doing that will cause them to feel ashamed [IDM], and Yahweh will reward you for doing that.
mert parazsat kaparsz fejére, és az Örökkévaló megfizet neked.
23 When wind blows from the right direction, it will rain; [similarly] [SIM], if we gossip about others, that causes them to look at us very angrily.
Az északi szél esőt szül, és bosszús arczot a titkos nyelv.
24 It is better to live ([alone/by yourself]) in the corner of an attic/housetop than to live inside the house with a wife who is [always] nagging.
Jobb a háztető sarkában lakni, mint czivódó asszony és közös ház.
25 Receiving good news from a country far away refreshes our spirits like [SIM] cold water refreshes us when we are very thirsty.
Hideg víz a bágyadt lélekre, olyan a jó hír messze országból.
26 When a righteous/good person (gives in/yields) to wicked [people], that is [as bad] as [SIM] a spring that becomes muddied or a fountain that becomes polluted.
Fölkavart forrás és elrontott kútfő: az igaz, a ki meginog a gonosz előtt.
27 It is not good to eat too much honey, and trying to get people to praise you is also not good.
Mézet sokat enni nem jó, s a dicsőség kutatása dicsőség.
28 People who (cannot control their tempers/quickly become very angry) [are unable to defend their behavior]; that is like [having] a city without a wall around it, [with the result that no one can defend it].
Város, melybe rést törtek, mely fal nélkül van: ember, kinek indulatára nincsen fékezés.
