Proverbs 28
1 Wicked [people] run away [even] when no one is pursuing them, but righteous/good [people are not afraid]; they are as brave as lions.
Megfutamodtak, bár üldöző nincs, a gonoszok, de az igazak olyanok, mint bátorságos oroszlán.
2 When [the people of] a nation sin, they will have one ruler after another; but when their leaders are wise and have good sense, their government will last for a long time.
Az ország bűne által sokan vannak vezérei, de ember által, ki ért és tud, szilárdan marad sokáig.
3 A poor person who oppresses [other] poor [people] is [like] [MET] a very heavy/hard rain that [destroys the crops], with the result that there is no food [for people to eat].
Ember, ki szegény és fosztogatja a gyöngéket: eső, mely elsöpör, de kenyér nincs.
4 Those who reject/disobey [God’s] laws always speak well of wicked [people]; but those who obey [God’s] laws [always] oppose what wicked people do.
A kik elhagyják a tant, dicsérik a gonoszokat, de a kik megőrzik a tant, fölgerjednek ellenük.
5 Evil people do not understand what it means to act justly, but those who try to obey/worship Yahweh understand that very well.
Rossz emberek nem értik a jogot, de kik az Örökkévalót keresik, mindent értenek.
6 It is better to be honest [even] though you are poor than to be dishonest [even] though you are rich.
Jobb a szegény, ki gáncstalanságában jár, mint a ki fonák az utjain, ha gazdag is.
7 Young people who obey the laws are wise [IDM]; parents whose children associate with those who (carouse/go to wild parties) are humiliated/disgraced because of what their children do.
Megóvja a tant az értelmes fiú, s a ki dőzsölőkkel társul, szégyent hoz atyjára.
8 When people become very rich by charging very high interest [DOU], their money will [eventually] go to someone who does kind things for the poor.
A ki sokasítja vagyonát kamattal és többlettel, annak gyűjti, ki szegényeken könyörül.
9 If people do not obey [MTY] [God’s] laws, [God] (detests their prayers/considers that their prayers stink).
A ki elfordítja fülét, hogy ne hallja a tant, annak imádsága is utálat.
10 Those who cause honest/good [people] to do what is evil will fall into their own pits/traps, but good things will happen to those who (are innocent/have not done what is wrong).
A ki megtéveszti az egyeneseket rossz úton, ő esik bele a vermébe, de a gáncstalanok jót fognak örökölni.
11 [Many] rich people think that they are wise, but poor people who have good sense will find out whether rich people really are wise or not.
Bölcs a maga szemében a gazdag ember, de a szegény, a ki értelmes, kikutatja őt.
12 When righteous/good [people] (succeed/win [elections]), everyone (celebrates/is happy); but when wicked [people win], everyone hides [because they are afraid of what the wicked people will do].
Midőn ujjonganak az igazak, nagy a dicsőség, de midőn felülkerekednek a gonoszok, keresni kell az embert.
13 Those who refuse to confess/admit their sins will not prosper, but [God] acts mercifully/kindly toward those who confess their sins and turn away from their sinful behavior.
A ki eltakarja büntetteit, nem fog boldogulni, de a ki bevallja és elhagyja, irgalmat fog találni.
14 [God] is pleased with those who always revere him, but those who are stubborn [IDM] will experience disasters.
Boldog az ember, ki mindig retteg, de a ki megkeményíti szívét, bajba esik.
15 Wicked people who [mistreat] poor people whom they rule are [as dangerous to them as] [SIM] a lion roaring [at them] or a bear springing up [to attack them].
Ordító oroszlán és mohó medve: gonosz uralkodó szegény népen.
16 Rulers who do not have good sense cruelly oppress [the people they rule], but rulers who do not want to become rich by cheating/deceiving [people] will live (OR, rule) for a long time.
Fejedelem, hiányos az értelmességben és nagy a zsarolásban – a ki gyűlöli a haszonlesést, az soká fog élni!
17 Those who are guilty of murdering [MTY] another person will (be fugitives/keep running away) until they die; do not help them to escape.
Ember, kit megöltnek vére nyomaszt, a gödörig fusson, ne tartsák őt!
18 Those who [continually] do what is right will be safe/protected, but those who are dishonest will [suddenly] be ruined.
Ki gáncstalanul jár, megsegíttetik, de a ki fonák az útjain, az egyiken elesik.
19 Farmers who work [hard] in their fields will [produce good crops and always] have plenty of food [to eat], but those who spend all their time (on useless projects/doing things that do not benefit anyone) will become very poor.
A ki földjét műveli, jóllakik kenyérrel, de a ki üres dolgokat hajhász, jóllakik szegénységgel.
20 [God] will greatly bless those who (are trustworthy/always do what they say that they will do), but he will certainly punish [LIT] those who try to become rich quickly.
Hűséges embernek bő áldás jut; de a ki siet meggazdagodni, nem marad büntetlenül.
21 It is not good [for judges] to decide matters unfairly/unjustly, but [some] people will do what is wrong [even] if they receive [only] a very small bribe [HYP] [for doing it].
Tekintélyt ismerni nem jó, s egy darab kenyérért bűnössé lesz a férfi.
22 Selfish people [IDM] are very eager to become rich quickly; they do not realize that they will [soon] become poor.
Utána rohan a vagyonnak az irigy szemű ember, és nem tudja, hogy hiány jön rá.
23 Those who rebuke someone will be appreciated/thanked more than those who [say nice things to others merely] to (flatter them/cause them to feel good).
A ki meginti az embert, utóbb kegyet fog találni, inkább mint a sima nyelvű.
24 Anyone who steals things from his father or his mother and says “That is not sinful” is as bad as a bandit.
A ki megrabolja atyját és anyját és azt mondja: nincs bűn, társa ő a rontó embernek.
25 Greedy people cause trouble/strife; those who trust in Yahweh will prosper [IDM].
A telhetetlen lelkű viszályt gerjeszt, de a ki az Örökkévalóban bízik, bőségben részesül.
26 Those who believe that what they think [is always right] are foolish; those who act wisely will (escape danger/be safe).
A ki önszívében bízik, az balga, de a ki bölcsességben jár, az megmenekszik.
27 Those who give things to poor [people] will not become poor, but many [people] will curse those who refuse to help [IDM] poor people.
A ki szegénynek ad, annál nincs hiány, de a ki elfordítja szemeit, annak bő átok jut.
28 When wicked [people] become rulers, people hide [because they are afraid of what those wicked people will do]; but when wicked people are no longer rulers, good/righteous [people will] become the rulers.
Mikor felülkerekednek a gonoszok, elrejtőzik az ember, de mikor elvesznek, megsokasodnak az igazak.
