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.
Un hombre que odia las palabras de reprensión endurece su corazón, de repente será destruido y no se recuperará.
2 When righteous [people] are rulers, people are happy, but when wicked [people] rule, people (groan/are miserable).
Cuando los rectos tienen poder, la gente está contenta; cuando un hombre malo es el gobernante, la pena llega a la gente.
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.
Un hombre amante de la sabiduría es un gozo para su padre; pero el que va en compañía de prostitutas es un derrochador de riquezas.
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.
Un rey, por regla correcta, hace que la tierra sea segura; pero uno lleno de deseos la convierte en un desperdicio.
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].
Un hombre que siempre adula a su vecino extiende una red para sus pasos.
6 Evil people will be trapped by the sins that they commit, but righteous/honest people will sing and be joyful/happy.
En los pasos de un hombre malo hay una red para él, pero el hombre recto escapa rápidamente y está contento.
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.
El hombre recto presta atención a la causa de los pobres: el malvado no piensa en ello.
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.
Los hombres de orgullo son la causa de los actos violentos en una ciudad, pero hombres sabios alejan la ira de los hombres.
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).
Si un hombre sabio va a la ley con un hombre necio, puede estar enojado o reírse, pero no habrá descanso.
10 Those who murder others hate people who (are honest/always do what is right), but righteous [people] try to protect them.
Los sanguinarios odian al hombre bueno, y los malvados van tras su alma.
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).
Un hombre necio deja salir toda su ira, pero un hombre sabio lo guarda silenciosamente.
12 If a ruler (pays attention to/believes) [people who tell] lies, all his officials will [also] become wicked.
Si un gobernante presta atención a las palabras falsas, todos sus siervos son malvados.
13 There is one thing that is true about both poor people and those who oppress them: Yahweh enables all of them to see.
El pobre y su acreedor se encuentran cara a cara: el Señor ilumina sus ojos por igual.
14 If kings judge poor [people] fairly, they will continue to rule for a long time.
El rey que es un verdadero juez en la causa de los pobres, estará a salvo para siempre en el trono de su poder.
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 vara y las palabras de corrección dan sabiduría; pero un niño que no es guiado es motivo de vergüenza para su 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.
Cuando los hombres malvados están en el poder, aumentan las maldades; pero los rectos tendrán placer cuando vean su caída.
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].
Entrena a tu hijo, y él te dará descanso; Él deleitará tu alma.
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.
Donde no hay visión, las personas están descontroladas; pero el que guarda la ley será feliz.
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.
Un siervo no será entrenado por las palabras; porque aunque el sentido de las palabras es claro para él, no le dará atención.
20 [God] can help/bless foolish people more easily [RHQ] than he can help/bless people who speak without thinking first.
¿Has visto a un hombre que es rápido con su lengua? Hay más esperanza para un hombre tonto que para él.
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.
Si un sirviente es cuidado suavemente desde sus primeros años, al final se convertirá en una causa de dolor.
22 Those who [quickly] become angry cause [many] arguments, and they [also] commit many sins.
Un hombre enojado es la causa de la contienda, y un hombre dado a la ira hace mucho mal.
23 Proud people will be disgraced; those who are humble will be respected.
El orgullo de un hombre será la causa de su caída, pero el que tiene un espíritu apacible recibirá honor.
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].
Un hombre que toma parte con un ladrón tiene odio por su alma; él es puesto bajo juramento, pero no dice nada.
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.
El temor del hombre es causa de peligro; pero el que pone su fe en el Señor tendrá un lugar seguro en lo alto.
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.
La aprobación de un gobernante es deseada por grandes números: pero la decisión en la causa de un hombre viene del Señor.
27 Righteous [people] hate/detest those who do what is evil, and wicked [people] hate [those whose behavior is always] good.
El hombre malo es repugnante para los rectos, y el que es recto es repugnante para los malvados.
