Proverbs 31
1 These are sayings/messages that [God gave to] King Lemuel’s mother, and which his mother taught him:
Palavras do rei Lemuel: a profecia com que lhe ensinou a sua mãe.
2 You are my son; I gave birth to you [RHQ]; you are the son that [God gave me] in answer to my prayers.
Como, filho meu? e como, ó filho do meu ventre? e como, ó filho das minhas promessas?
3 Do not exhaust your energy [having sex] [EUP] with women [to whom you are not married], with women who ruin kings [by having sex with them].
Não dês às mulheres a tua força, nem os teus caminhos às que destroem os reis
4 Lemuel, kings should not be [constantly] drinking wine or [greatly] desire [to drink other] strong/alcoholic drinks.
Não é dos reis, ó Lemuel, não é dos reis beber vinho, nem dos príncipes desejar bebida forte.
5 If they do that, they forget the laws [that they have made], and they do not do what is right for poor/afflicted [people].
Para que não bebam, e se esqueçam do estatuto, e pervertam o juízo de todos os aflitos.
6 Give strong/alcoholic drinks to those who are dying and to those who are (greatly distressed/suffering very much).
Dai bebida forte aos que perecem, e o vinho aos amargosos de espírito:
7 If they drink, they will forget that they are poor, and they will not think about their distress/troubles any more.
Para que bebam, e se esqueçam da sua pobreza, e do seu trabalho não se lembrem mais.
8 Speak [MTY] to defend people who are unable to defend themselves; speak to encourage others to do what is right for those who are helpless.
Abre a tua boca a favor do mudo, pelo direito de todos que vão perecendo.
9 Speak [MTY] (on their behalf/to help them) and try to cause judges to decide matters fairly/justly; try to cause others to do for poor and needy [people] what should be done for them.
Abre a tua boca; julga retamente; e faze justiça aos pobres e aos necessitados.

Res. Muitas filhas obraram virtuosamente; porém tu a todas as sobrepujas.
30 Some women who are attractive [are not really good women], [but] they can deceive us [regarding what they are really like]. Furthermore, women’s beauty does not last; but women who revere Yahweh should be honored.
Sin. Enganosa é a graça e vaidade a formosura, mas a mulher que teme ao Senhor essa será louvada.
31 Reward women who are like that, and praise them in public [MTY] for what they have done.
Thau. dai-lhe do fruto das suas mãos, e louvem-na nas portas as suas obras.
