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].
Még ezek is Salamon példabeszédei, melyeket összeszedegettek Ezékiásnak, a Júda 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.
Az Istennek tisztességére van a dolgot eltitkolni; a királyoknak pedig tisztességére van a dolgot kikutatni.
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, a föld mélységre, és a királyoknak 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.
Távolítsd el az ezüstből a salakot, és abból edény lesz az ötvösnek:
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.
Távolítsd el a bűnöst a király elől, és megerősíttetik igazsággal az ő széke.
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 dicsekedjél a király előtt, és a nagyok 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 azt mondják néked: jer ide fel; hogynem mint levettetned néked a tisztességes előtt, a kit láttak a te 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 fel a versengésre hirtelen, hogy azt ne kelljen kérdened, mit cselekedjél az után, mikor gyalázattal illet téged a te 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].
A te ügyedet végezd el felebarátoddal; de másnak titkát meg ne jelentsd;
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).
Hogy ne gyalázzon téged, a ki hallja; és a te gyalázatod el ne távozzék.
11 Something that is said that is [very] appropriate is [as delightful as seeing] [SIM] gold apples/ornaments in a silver bowl.
Mint az arany alma ezüst tányéron: olyan a helyén mondott ige!
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.
Mint az arany függő és színarany ékesség: olyan a bölcs intő a szófogadó fülnél.
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 a havas hideg az aratásnak idején: olyan a hív követ azoknak, a kik őt elbocsátják; mert az ő urainak lelkét megvidámítja.
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.
Mint a felhő és szél, melyekben nincs eső: olyan a férfiú, a ki kérkedik hamis ajándékkal.
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].
Tűrés által engeszteltetik meg a fejedelem, és a szelíd beszéd megtöri a csontot.
16 If you find some honey, do not eat a lot of it, because doing that may cause you to vomit.
Ha mézet találsz, egyél a mennyi elég néked; de sokat ne egyél, hogy ki ne hányd azt.
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.
Ritkán tedd lábadat a te felebarátodnak házába; hogy be ne teljesedjék te veled, és meg ne gyűlöljön téged.
18 To falsely accuse others [in court] is like [SIM] [attacking them with] a war-club or a sword or a sharp arrow.
Pőröly és kard és éles nyíl az olyan ember, a ki hamis bizonyságot szól felebarátja ellen.
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.
Mint a romlott fog és kimarjult láb: olyan a hitetlennek bizodalma a nyomorúság idején.
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.
Mint a ki leveti ruháját a hidegnek idején, mint az eczet a sziksón: olyan, a ki éneket mond a bánatos szívű ember előtt.
21 If your enemies are hungry, give them something to eat; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink;
Ha éhezik, a ki téged gyűlöl: adj enni néki kenyeret; és ha szomjúhozik: adj néki inni vizet;
22 doing that will cause them to feel ashamed [IDM], and Yahweh will reward you for doing that.
Mert elevenszenet gyűjtesz az ő fejére, és az Úr megfizeti néked.
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 haragos ábrázatot a suttogó 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 lakni a tetőnek ormán, mint a háborgó asszonynyal, és közös házban.
25 Receiving good news from a country far away refreshes our spirits like [SIM] cold water refreshes us when we are very thirsty.
Mint a hideg víz a megfáradt embernek, olyan a messze földről való jó hírhallás.
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.
Mint a megháborított forrás és megromlott kútfő, olyan az igaz, a ki a gonosz előtt ingadozik.
27 It is not good to eat too much honey, and trying to get people to praise you is also not good.
Igen sok mézet enni nem jó; hát a magunk dicsőségét keresni 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].
Mint a megromlott és kerítés nélkül való város, olyan a férfi, a kinek nincsen birodalma az ő lelkén!
