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.
L'uomo, il quale, essendo spesso ripreso, indura il suo collo, Di subito sarà fiaccato, senza rimedio.
2 When righteous [people] are rulers, people are happy, but when wicked [people] rule, people (groan/are miserable).
Quando i giusti sono aggranditi, il popolo si rallegra; Ma quando gli empi signoreggiano, il popolo geme.
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.
L'uomo, che ama sapienza, rallegra suo padre; Ma il compagno delle meretrici dissipa i [suoi] beni.
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.
Il re mantiene il paese con dirittura; Ma chi è dato a' presenti lo distrugge.
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].
L'uomo che lusinga il suo prossimo, Tende una rete davanti a' passi di esso.
6 Evil people will be trapped by the sins that they commit, but righteous/honest people will sing and be joyful/happy.
Nel misfatto dell'uomo malvagio [vi è] un laccio; Ma il giusto canterà, e si rallegrerà.
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.
Il giusto prende conoscenza della causa de' miseri; [Ma] l'empio non intende alcun conoscimento.
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.
Gli uomini schernitori allacciano la città; Ma i savi stornano l'ira.
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).
L'uomo savio che litiga con un uomo stolto, Or si adira, or ride, e non [ha] alcuna requie.
10 Those who murder others hate people who (are honest/always do what is right), but righteous [people] try to protect them.
Gli uomini di sangue odiano l'[uomo] intiero; Ma gli [uomini] diritti hanno cura della vita di esso.
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).
Lo stolto sfoga tutta la sua ira; Ma il savio [la] racqueta [e la rattiene] indietro.
12 If a ruler (pays attention to/believes) [people who tell] lies, all his officials will [also] become wicked.
Tutti i ministri del principe, Che attende a parole di menzogna, [sono] empi.
13 There is one thing that is true about both poor people and those who oppress them: Yahweh enables all of them to see.
Il povero e l'usuraio si scontrano l'un l'altro; Il Signore [è] quello che allumina gli occhi di amendue.
14 If kings judge poor [people] fairly, they will continue to rule for a long time.
Il trono del re, che fa ragione a' miseri in verità, Sarà stabilito in perpetuo.
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.
La verga e la correzione dànno sapienza; Ma il fanciullo lasciato in abbandono fa vergogna a sua madre.
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.
Quando gli empi crescono, cresce il misfatto; Ma i giusti vedranno la ruina di quelli.
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].
Gastiga il tuo figliuolo, e tu ne sarai in riposo; Ed egli darà di gran diletti all'anima tua.
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.
Quando non [vi è] visione, il popolo è dissipato; Ma beato chi guarda la Legge.
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.
Il servo non si corregge con parole; Benchè intenda, non però risponderà.
20 [God] can help/bless foolish people more easily [RHQ] than he can help/bless people who speak without thinking first.
Hai tu [mai] veduto un uomo precipitoso nel suo parlare? [Vi è] maggiore speranza d'uno stolto che di lui.
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.
Se alcuno alleva delicatamente da fanciullo il suo servo, Quello sarà figliuolo alla fine.
22 Those who [quickly] become angry cause [many] arguments, and they [also] commit many sins.
L'uomo iracondo muove contese, E l'uomo collerico [commette] molti misfatti.
23 Proud people will be disgraced; those who are humble will be respected.
L'alterezza dell'uomo l'abbassa; Ma chi è umile di spirito otterrà gloria.
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].
Chi partisce col ladro odia l'anima sua; Egli udirà l'esecrazione, e non però manifesterà [il fatto].
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.
Lo spavento dell'uomo [gli] mette un laccio; Ma chi si confida nel Signore sarà levato ad alto in salvo.
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.
Molti cercano la faccia di colui che signoreggia; Ma dal Signore [procede] il giudicio di ciascuno.
27 Righteous [people] hate/detest those who do what is evil, and wicked [people] hate [those whose behavior is always] good.
L'uomo iniquo [è] l'abbominio de' giusti; E l'uomo che cammina dirittamente [è] l'abbominio dell'empio.
