Pwovèb 13
1 Yon pitit gason ki gen bon konprann ap koute lè papa l' ap rale zòrèy li. Men, moun k'ap pase moun nan betiz p'ap janm koute lè y'ap fè l' obsèvasyon pou korije l'.
A son wise [the] discipline of a father and a mocker not he listens to a rebuke.
2 Rekonpans yon moun chita sou sa li di ak bouch li. Men, moun ki ipokrit renmen fè mechanste.
From [the] fruit of [the] mouth of a person he eats good thing[s] and [the] appetite of treacherous [people] [is] violence.
3 Veye pawòl ki soti nan bouch ou, w'a pwoteje lavi ou. Moun k'ap prese louvri bouch yo pale ap detwi pwòp tèt yo.
[one who] guards Mouth his [is] protecting life his [one who] opens lips his ruin [belongs] to him.
4 Parese p'ap janm jwenn sa yo ta renmen genyen. Men, moun k'ap travay di ap jwenn tou sa yo ta renmen genyen.
[is] coveting And nothing appetite his a sluggard and [the] appetite of diligent [people] it will be made fat.
5 Moun k'ap mache dwat pa vle wè moun k'ap bay manti. Men, sa mechan yo ap fè a se yon wont, se yon dezonè pou tèt yo.
A word of falsehood he hates a righteous [person] and a wicked [person] he acts odiously and he may act shamefully.
6 Lè ou toujou fè sa ki byen, lajistis ap pwoteje ou. Men, peche lakòz mechan yo disparèt.
Righteousness it preserves integrity of way and wickedness it subverts sin.
7 Gen moun ki pa gen anyen men ki pran pòz moun rich yo. Gen moun ki pran pòz moun pòv yo, epi se yo ki gen fòtin.
There [is one who] enriches himself and there not [is] anything [one who] impoverishes himself and wealth great.
8 Yon moun rich sèvi ak lajan l' pou l' sove lavi l'. Moun ki pòv pa vle tande lè w'ap rele dèyè l'.
[the] ransom of [the] life of A person [is] wealth his and a poor [person] not he hears a threat.
9 Moun k'ap mache dwat yo tankou lanp k'ap klere byen klere. Men, mechan yo tankou yon lanp ki prèt pou mouri.
[the] light of Righteous [people] it rejoices and [the] lamp of wicked [people] it is extinguished.
10 Moun awogan yo toujou ap pouse dife. Men, moun ki koute konsèy, se moun ki gen bon konprann.
Only with pride it gives contention and [is] with [those who] receive advice wisdom.
11 Lajan ou fè fasil pa lwen fini. Lajan ou fè nan di ap toujou fè pitit.
Wealth from vanity it will become small and [one who] gathers on hand he will increase.
12 Lè ou pa jwenn sa ou t'ap tann lan, se bagay ki pou fè ou malad. Men, lè ou jwenn sa ou te anvi a, se lavi pou ou.
Hope deferred [is] making sick [the] heart and [is] a tree of life a desire [which] comes.
13 Lè ou pa respekte pawòl ki nan lalwa Bondye a, se dèt ou fè. Men, moun ki fè sa lalwa mande yo fè a ap jwenn rekonpans yo.
[one who] despises A word he will be pledged to it and [one] fearing a commandment he he will be rewarded.
14 Sa moun ki gen bon konprann ap moutre a bay lavi. L'ap ede ou pou ou pa tonbe lè lavi ou an danje.
[the] instruction of A wise [person] [is] a fountain of life to turn aside from [the] snares of death.
15 Lè ou gen bon konprann, sa fè moun renmen ou. Men, lè moun pa ka fè ou konfyans, ou nan di.
Insight good it gives favor and [the] way of treacherous [people] [is] enduring.
16 Tout moun ki gen konprann kalkile byen anvan yo fè yon bagay. Men, moun san konprann yo ap fè ou wè jan yo sòt.
Every sensible [person] he acts with knowledge and a fool he spreads out foolishness.
17 Yon move komisyonè ap mete moun nan ka. Men, yon komisyonè serye ap bay moun kè poze.
A messenger wicked he falls in trouble and an envoy of faithfulness [is] healing.
18 Yon moun ki refize aprann ap toujou pòv, l'ap toujou wont. Men, y'ap respekte moun ki koute lè yo rale zòrèy yo.
Poverty and shame [one who] ignores discipline and [one who] keeps correction he is honored.
19 Ala bon sa bon lè ou jwenn sa ou te anvi a! Moun san konprann derefize kite move chemen yo pran an.
A desire done (is pleasing *LAH(b)*) to a person and [is] an abomination of fools to turn aside from evil.
20 Fè zanmi ak moun ki gen konesans, ou menm tou w'a vin gen konesans. Fè zanmi ak moun ki san konprann, ou nan pwoblèm.
([one who] walks *Q(K)*) With wise [people] (he will become wise *Q(K)*) and [one who] associates with fools he will be harmed.
21 Malè ap pousib moun k'ap fè sa ki mal. Men, moun ki mache dwat ap jwenn bon rekonpans.
Sinners it pursues calamity and righteous [people] it rewards good.
22 Yon moun ki gen bon kè ap kite byen pou pitit pitit li. Men, richès moun k'ap fè sa ki mal, se moun ki mache dwat yo k'ap jwi li.
A good [person] he leaves an inheritance to children of children and [is] stored up for the righteous [the] wealth of a sinner.
23 Jaden malere bay kont manje. Men, lenjistis fè l' mouri grangou.
Abundance of food [the] unplowed ground of poor [people] and there [is what] is swept away in not justice.
24 Si ou pè bat pitit gason ou, ou pa renmen l'. Si ou renmen l', se pou ou korije l'.
[one who] restrains Rod his [is] hating son his and [one who] loves him he seeks early him discipline.
25 Moun k'ap mache dwat toujou gen ase pou yo manje. Men, vant mechan yo pa janm plen.
A righteous [person] [is] eating to [the] satiety of appetite his and [the] belly of wicked [people] it is lacking.
