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.
Człowiek, który czyni twardym [swój] kark mimo częstych nagan, zostanie nagle zniszczony i pozbawiony ratunku.
2 When righteous [people] are rulers, people are happy, but when wicked [people] rule, people (groan/are miserable).
Gdy sprawiedliwi są u władzy, lud się weseli, a gdy panują niegodziwi, lud wzdycha.
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.
Kto miłuje mądrość, raduje swego ojca, a kto zadaje się z nierządnicami, trwoni majątek.
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.
Król utwierdza ziemię sądem, ale kto przyjmuje dary, burzy ją.
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].

6 Evil people will be trapped by the sins that they commit, but righteous/honest people will sing and be joyful/happy.
Grzech złego człowieka jest jego sidłem, ale sprawiedliwy śpiewa i weseli się.
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.
Sprawiedliwy zważa na sprawę ubogich, [a] niegodziwemu nie zależy na jej poznawaniu.
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.

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).
Jeśli mądry człowiek spiera się z głupim, czy się gniewa, czy się śmieje, nie [ma] pokoju.
10 Those who murder others hate people who (are honest/always do what is right), but righteous [people] try to protect them.
Krwiożercy nienawidzą prawego, ale sprawiedliwi szukają jego duszy.

12 If a ruler (pays attention to/believes) [people who tell] lies, all his officials will [also] become wicked.
Jeśli władca słucha kłamstw, to wszyscy jego słudzy są niegodziwi.
13 There is one thing that is true about both poor people and those who oppress them: Yahweh enables all of them to see.

Tron króla, który sądzi ubogich według prawdy, będzie umocniony na wieki.
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.
Rózga i upomnienia dają mądrość, a samowolne dziecko przynosi wstyd swojej matce.
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.
Gdy niegodziwi się mnożą, to mnoży się i przestępstwo, lecz sprawiedliwi ujrzą ich upadek.
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].
Karć swego syna, a da ci odpocząć i przyniesie rozkosz twojej duszy.
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.
Gdy nie ma proroctwa, lud ginie, a kto przestrzega prawa, jest błogosławiony.
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.

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].
Wspólnik złodzieja nienawidzi swojej duszy; słyszy przekleństwa, a nie wydaje [go].
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.
Strach przed człowiekiem zastawia sidła, ale kto ufa PANU, będzie bezpieczny.
