Proverbs 10
1 Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causeth a father to rejoice, And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother.
Men pwovèb wa Salomon yo: Yon pitit ki gen bon konprann fè kè papa l' kontan. Men, yon pitit san konprann bay manman l' lapenn.
2 Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death.
Byen ou rive fè nan move kondisyon p'ap rapòte ou anyen. Men, lè ou serye, ou sove lavi ou.
3 Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger, And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away.
Seyè a p'ap kite moun ki mache dwat soufri grangou. Men, l'ap anpeche mechan an jwenn sa li anvi a.
4 Poor [is] he who is working — a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
Parese fè ou pòv, men travay di fè ou rich.
5 Whoso is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, Whoso is sleeping in harvest [is] a son causing shame.
Yon nonm ki wè lwen ranmase rekòt li lè rekòt la pare. Men, se yon wont pou moun ki pase tou tan rekòt la ap dòmi.
6 Blessings [are] for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.

11 A fountain of life [is] the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.

Lè ou gen renmen nan kè ou, ou padonnen tout peche. Men, lè ou rayi moun, ou toujou ap chache kont.
13 In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding.

17 A traveller to life [is] he who is keeping instruction, And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring.
Moun ki koute lè yo rale zòrèy yo ap jwenn chemen lavi. Men, moun ki refize admèt lè yo antò pèdi chemen yo.
18 Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool.
Moun ki rayi moun nan kè yo, se moun ou pa ka fye. Tout moun k'ap mache fè tripotay se moun san konprann.
19 In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips [is] wise.
Plis ou pale anpil, plis ou ka rive fè peche. Lè ou gen bonjan konprann ou kenbe bouch ou fèmen.
20 The tongue of the righteous [is] chosen silver, The heart of the wicked — as a little thing.
Pawòl ki soti nan bouch moun k'ap mache dwat, se lò. Men, lide k'ap travay nan tèt yon mechan pa vo anyen.
21 The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.

23 To execute inventions [is] as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding.
Lè moun san konprann ap fè sa ki mal, se tankou yon jwèt pou yo. Men, yon moun lespri pran plezi l' nan chache gen bon konprann.
24 The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given.
Yon moun ki mache dwat, Bondye va ba li tou sa l' ta renmen genyen. Men mechan an, se sa l' pè rive l' la k'ap rive l'.
25 As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during.
Depi move tan pase, mechan yo disparèt lamenm. Men, moun k'ap mache dwat yo ap toujou kanpe fèm.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So [is] the slothful to those sending him.
