Példabeszédek 28
1 Minden istentelen fut, ha senki nem üldözi is; az igazak pedig, mint az ifjú oroszlán, bátrak.
Wicked [people] run away [even] when no one is pursuing them, but righteous/good [people are not afraid]; they are as brave as lions.
2 Az ország bűne miatt sok annak a fejedelme; az eszes és tudós ember által pedig hosszabbodik fennállása.
When [the people of] a nation sin, they will have one ruler after another; but when their leaders are wise and have good sense, their government will last for a long time.
3 A szegény emberből támadott elnyomója a szegényeknek hasonló a pusztító esőhöz, mely nem hágy kenyeret.
A poor person who oppresses [other] poor [people] is [like] [MET] a very heavy/hard rain that [destroys the crops], with the result that there is no food [for people to eat].
4 A kik elhagyják a törvényt, dicsérik a latrokat; de a kik megtartják a törvényt, harczolnak azokkal.
Those who reject/disobey [God’s] laws always speak well of wicked [people]; but those who obey [God’s] laws [always] oppose what wicked people do.
5 A gonoszságban élő emberek nem értik meg az igazságot; a kik pedig keresik az Urat, mindent megértenek.
Evil people do not understand what it means to act justly, but those who try to obey/worship Yahweh understand that very well.
6 Jobb a szegény, a ki jár tökéletesen, mint a kétfelé sántáló istentelen, a ki gazdag.
It is better to be honest [even] though you are poor than to be dishonest [even] though you are rich.
7 A ki megőrzi a törvényt, eszes fiú az; a ki pedig társalkodik a dobzódókkal, gyalázattal illeti atyját.
Young people who obey the laws are wise [IDM]; parents whose children associate with those who (carouse/go to wild parties) are humiliated/disgraced because of what their children do.
8 A ki öregbíti az ő marháját kamattal és uzsorával, annak gyűjt, a ki könyörül a szegényeken.
When people become very rich by charging very high interest [DOU], their money will [eventually] go to someone who does kind things for the poor.
9 Valaki elfordítja az ő fülét a törvénynek hallásától, annak könyörgése is útálatos.
If people do not obey [MTY] [God’s] laws, [God] (detests their prayers/considers that their prayers stink).
10 A ki elcsábítja az igazakat gonosz útra, vermébe maga esik bele; a tökéletesek pedig örökség szerint bírják a jót.
Those who cause honest/good [people] to do what is evil will fall into their own pits/traps, but good things will happen to those who (are innocent/have not done what is wrong).
11 Bölcs az ő maga szemei előtt a gazdag ember; de az eszes szegény megvizsgálja őt.
[Many] rich people think that they are wise, but poor people who have good sense will find out whether rich people really are wise or not.
12 Mikor örvendeznek az igazak, nagy ékesség az; mikor pedig az istentelenek feltámadnak, keresni kell az embert.
When righteous/good [people] (succeed/win [elections]), everyone (celebrates/is happy); but when wicked [people win], everyone hides [because they are afraid of what the wicked people will do].
13 A ki elfedezi az ő vétkeit, nem lesz jó dolga; a ki pedig megvallja és elhagyja, irgalmasságot nyer.
Those who refuse to confess/admit their sins will not prosper, but [God] acts mercifully/kindly toward those who confess their sins and turn away from their sinful behavior.
14 Boldog ember, a ki szüntelen retteg; a ki pedig megkeményíti az ő szívét, bajba esik.

15 Mint az ordító oroszlán és éhező medve, olyan a szegény népen uralkodó istentelen.

16 Az értelemben szűkölködő fejedelem nagy elnyomó is; de a ki gyűlöli a hamis nyereséget, meghosszabbítja napjait.

17 Az ember, a kit ember-vér terhel, a sírig fut; senki ne támogassa őt.
Those who are guilty of murdering [MTY] another person will (be fugitives/keep running away) until they die; do not help them to escape.
18 A ki jár tökéletesen, megtartatik; a ki pedig álnokul két úton jár, egyszerre elesik.
Those who [continually] do what is right will be safe/protected, but those who are dishonest will [suddenly] be ruined.
19 A ki munkálja az ő földét, megelégedik étellel; a ki pedig hiábavalóságok után futkos, megelégedik szegénységgel.

20 A hivő ember bővelkedik áldásokkal; de a ki hirtelen akar gazdagulni, büntetlen nem marad.
[God] will greatly bless those who (are trustworthy/always do what they say that they will do), but he will certainly punish [LIT] those who try to become rich quickly.
21 Személyt válogatni nem jó; mert még egy falat kenyérért is vétkezhetik az ember.

23 A ki megfeddi az embert, végre is inkább kedvességet talál, mint a sima nyelvű.
Those who rebuke someone will be appreciated/thanked more than those who [say nice things to others merely] to (flatter them/cause them to feel good).
24 A ki megrabolja az atyját, és anyját és azt mondja: nem vétek! társa a romboló embernek.
Anyone who steals things from his father or his mother and says “That is not sinful” is as bad as a bandit.
25 A telhetetlen lélek háborúságot szerez; a ki pedig bízik az Úrban, megerősödik.

26 A ki bízik magában, bolond az; a ki pedig jár bölcsen, megszabadul.
Those who believe that what they think [is always right] are foolish; those who act wisely will (escape danger/be safe).
27 A ki ád a szegénynek, nem lesz néki szüksége; a ki pedig elrejti a szemét, megsokasulnak rajta az átkok.
Those who give things to poor [people] will not become poor, but many [people] will curse those who refuse to help [IDM] poor people.
28 Mikor felemeltetnek az istentelenek, elrejti magát az ember; de mikor azok elvesznek, öregbülnek az igazak.
When wicked [people] become rulers, people hide [because they are afraid of what those wicked people will do]; but when wicked people are no longer rulers, good/righteous [people will] become the rulers.
