Proverbs 29
1 Some people remain stubborn [IDM] [even] though they are often reproved/warned [about doing what is wrong], [but some day] they will be crushed/ruined, and nothing will be able to heal them.
Den Mand, som forhærder sin Nakke, vil tidt blive straffet; hastelig skal han sønderknuses, og der skal ingen Lægedom være.
2 When righteous [people] are rulers, people are happy, but when wicked [people] rule, people (groan/are miserable).
Naar der bliver mange retfærdige, skal Folket glædes; men naar en ugudelig hersker, skal Folket sukke.
3 Those who are eager to become wise cause their parents to be glad; those who spend their time with prostitutes will end up giving all their money to them.
En Mand, som elsker Visdom, glæder sin Fader; men hvo, som omgaas med Skøger, vil øde sit Gods.
4 When a king rules justly/fairly, he causes his nation to be strong, but a king who is concerned [only] with getting more money from the people ruins his nation.
En Konge befæster Landet ved Ret; men en Mand, som tager Gaver, nedbryder det.
5 Those who (flatter others/say nice things to others [merely] to cause them to feel good) are really setting a trap for them (OR, for themselves) [SYN].
En Mand, som smigrer for sin Næste, udbreder et Garn for hans Fødder.
6 Evil people will be trapped by the sins that they commit, but righteous/honest people will sing and be joyful/happy.
Den onde Mands Overtrædelse er ham en Snare; men den retfærdige kan fryde og glæde sig.
7 Righteous/Good people know that poor [people] should be treated fairly/justly, [but] wicked people (are not concerned about/do not pay attention to) those matters at all.
En retfærdig kender de ringes Sag; den ugudelige forstaar sig ikke paa Kundskab.
8 Those who make fun of [everything that is good say things that] cause [everyone in] the city to (be agitated/in turmoil); those who are wise enable [people] to remain calm.
Mænd, som ere Spottere, ophidse en Stad; men de vise stille Vreden.
9 If a wise person sues a foolish person, the foolish person merely laughs [at him] and yells [at him] and will not be quiet (OR, [the dispute will] not be resolved).
Naar en viis Mand gaar i Rette med en taabelig Mand, bliver denne vred og ler, og der bliver ingen Ro.
10 Those who murder others hate people who (are honest/always do what is right), but righteous [people] try to protect them.
Blodgerrige Mænd hade den retsindige; men de oprigtige drage Omhu for hans Liv.
11 People who are wise are patient and restrain/control themselves when they are angry, but foolish people (quickly show others that they are very angry/do not restrain themselves at all).
En Daare udlader al sin Hidsighed, men en viis skal omsider stille den.
12 If a ruler (pays attention to/believes) [people who tell] lies, all his officials will [also] become wicked.
Naar en Hersker agter paa Løgnens Ord, blive alle hans Tjenere ugudelige.
13 There is one thing that is true about both poor people and those who oppress them: Yahweh enables all of them to see.
En fattig og en Undertrykker mødes; Herren giver begges Øjne Lys.
14 If kings judge poor [people] fairly, they will continue to rule for a long time.
En Konge, som dømmer de ringe efter Sandhed, hans Trone skal stadfæstes evindelig.
15 If children are punished/spanked and reproved/warned, they become wise; but if they are allowed to do whatever they want to do, they [do things that] cause their mothers to be ashamed of them.
Ris og Revselse give Visdom; men en Dreng, som overlades til sig selv, beskæmmer sin Moder.
16 When wicked [people] rule, there are more crimes committed {people commit more crimes}, but [some day] those wicked people will (be defeated/no longer rule), and righteous [people] will see that happen.
Naar der bliver mange ugudelige, bliver der megen Overtrædelse; men de retfærdige skulle se paa deres Fald.
17 If you discipline your children, they will no longer [do things that] will cause you to be worried; instead, they [will do things that] will delight you [SYN].
Tugt din Søn, saa skal han skaffe dig Ro og bringe din Sjæl Glæder.
18 When the people [of a nation] do not receive messages that come directly from God, they do not control their behavior. [God] is pleased with those who obey his laws.
Naar der ikke er profetiske Syner, bliver et Folk tøjlesløst; men den, som bevarer Loven, han er lyksalig.
19 It is not possible to correct/discipline servants only by talking to them; they understand what you are saying, but they do not pay attention to it.
Med Ord tugtes ikke en Træl; thi han mærker det nok og svarer ikke.
20 [God] can help/bless foolish people more easily [RHQ] than he can help/bless people who speak without thinking first.
Ser du, at en Mand er hastig i sine Ord, da er der mere Forhaabning om en Daare end om ham.
21 If someone gives his servants everything that they want, starting from when they are young, some day those servants will take from him everything that he owns.
Forkæler en sin Træl fra hans Ungdom af, da vil han til sidst være en Søn.
22 Those who [quickly] become angry cause [many] arguments, and they [also] commit many sins.
En vredagtig Mand opvækker Trætte, og en hidsig Mand begaar megen Overtrædelse.
23 Proud people will be disgraced; those who are humble will be respected.
Menneskets Hovmod nedtrykker ham; men den ydmyge vinder Ære.
24 Those who help thieves [to steal] only hurt themselves; [when they are in court], they solemnly ask [God] to curse them [if they do not tell the truth], but they do not tell the truth [about the crime that was committed], [and as a result, God will curse them].
Hvo som deler med en Tyv, hader sin Sjæl; han hører Besværgelsen og giver det ikke til Kende.
25 It is [like] a dangerous trap [MET] [for people] to be (afraid of/worried about) what others will think about them, but those who trust in Yahweh are safe/protected.
At forfærdes for et Menneske fører i Snare; men den, som forlader sig paa Herren, bliver beskærmet.
26 Many [people] request rulers to do things to help them, but Yahweh is [the only one] who surely does for people what is fair/just.
Mange søge en Herskers Ansigt; men fra Herren er en Mands Ret.
27 Righteous [people] hate/detest those who do what is evil, and wicked [people] hate [those whose behavior is always] good.
En uretfærdig Mand er de retfærdige en Vederstyggelighed; og den, hvis Vej er ligefrem, er den ugudelige en Vederstyggelighed.
