Salamana Pamācības 28
1 Bezdievīgais bēg, kur dzinēja nav; bet taisnie ir droši, kā jauns lauva.
The wicked flee when none pursueth: but the righteous are bolde as a lyon.
2 Caur dumpjiem zemei tiek daudz valdnieku; bet ja ļaudis prātīgi un apdomīgi, tad valdnieks paliek ilgi.
For the transgression of the land there are many princes thereof: but by a man of vnderstanding and knowledge a realme likewise endureth long.
3 Nabaga kungs, kas nabagus apspiež, ir kā plūdu lietus, un maizes nav.
A poore man, if he oppresse the poore, is like a raging raine, that leaueth no foode.

They that forsake the Law, prayse the wicked: but they that keepe the Law, set themselues against them.

Wicked men vnderstand not iudgemnt: but they that seeke the Lord vnderstand all things.
6 Labāks ir nabags, kas staigā skaidrībā, nekā bagāts netiklā ceļā.
Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnesse, then hee that peruerteth his wayes, though he be riche.

He that increaseth his riches by vsurie and interest, gathereth them for him that will be mercifull vnto the poore.
9 Kas savu ausi nogriež no Dieva bauslības, pat tāda cilvēka lūgšana ir neganta.
He that turneth away his eare from hearing the Law, euen his prayer shalbe abominable.
10 Kas maldina bezvainīgus uz ļauniem ceļiem, tas pats kritīs savā bedrē; bet tie sirdsskaidrie iemantos labumu.
He that causeth the righteous to go astray by an euill way, shall fall into his owne pit, and the vpright shall inherite good things.
11 Bagāts vīrs savā prātā gudrs; bet nabags, kas prātīgs, to izmana.
The riche man is wise in his owne conceite: but the poore that hath vnderstanding, can trie him.
12 Kad taisnie gavilē, tas ir liels jaukums; bet kad bezdievīgie galvu paceļ tad ļaudis slēpjas.
When righteous men reioyce, there is great glory: but when the wicked come vp, the man is tried.

15 Bezdievīgais, kas valda pār nabaga ļaudīm, ir rūkdams lauva un izsalcis lācis.
As a roaring lyon, and an hungry beare, so is a wicked ruler ouer the poore people.
16 Valdnieks nav gudrs, ja mudīgs uz varas darbiem; bet kas labprāt neplēš, dzīvos ilgi.
A prince destitute of vnderstanding, is also a great oppressour: but hee that hateth couetousnes, shall prolong his dayes.
17 Pie kā rokām cilvēka asinis līp, tas bēgs līdz bedrei; palīga tas nedabūs.

26 Kas uz savu sirdi paļaujas, ir ģeķis; bet kas ar gudrību staigā, tiks izglābts.
Hee that trusteth in his owne heart, is a foole: but he that walketh in wisdome, shall be deliuered.
27 Kas nabagam dod, tam nepietrūks; bet kas savas acis priekš tā aizslēdz, tam uzies daudz lāstu.
He that giueth vnto the poore, shall not lacke: but he that hideth his eyes, shall haue many curses.

When the wicked rise vp, men hide them selues: but when they perish, ye righteous increase.
