Proverbs 11
1 A gileful balaunce is abhominacioun anentis God; and an euene weiyte is his wille.
| מֹאזְנֵ֣י מִ֭רְמָה תֹּועֲבַ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה וְאֶ֖בֶן שְׁלֵמָ֣ה רְצֹונֹֽו׃ |
2 Where pride is, there also dispising schal be; but where meeknesse is, there also is wisdom.
| בָּֽא־זָ֭דֹון וַיָּבֹ֣א קָלֹ֑ון וְֽאֶת־צְנוּעִ֥ים חָכְמָֽה׃ |
3 The simplenesse of iust men schal dresse hem; and the disseyuyng of weiward men schal destrie hem.
| תֻּמַּ֣ת יְשָׁרִ֣ים תַּנְחֵ֑ם וְסֶ֖לֶף בֹּוגְדִ֣ים וְשַׁדָּם (יְשָׁדֵּֽם)׃ |
4 Richessis schulen not profite in the dai of veniaunce; but riytfulnesse schal delyuere fro deth.
| לֹא־יֹועִ֣יל הֹ֭ון בְּיֹ֣ום עֶבְרָ֑ה וּ֝צְדָקָ֗ה תַּצִּ֥יל מִמָּֽוֶת׃ |
5 The riytfulnesse of a simple man schal dresse his weie; and a wickid man schal falle in his wickidnesse.
| צִדְקַ֣ת תָּ֭מִים תְּיַשֵּׁ֣ר דַּרְכֹּ֑ו וּ֝בְרִשְׁעָתֹ֗ו יִפֹּ֥ל רָשָֽׁע׃ |
6 The riytfulnesse of riytful men schal delyuere hem; and wickid men schulen be takun in her aspiyngis.
| צִדְקַ֣ת יְ֭שָׁרִים תַּצִּילֵ֑ם וּ֝בְהַוַּ֗ת בֹּגְדִ֥ים יִלָּכֵֽדוּ׃ |
7 Whanne a wickid man is deed, noon hope schal be ferther; and abidyng of bisy men schal perische.
| בְּמֹ֤ות אָדָ֣ם רָ֭שָׁע תֹּאבַ֣ד תִּקְוָ֑ה וְתֹוחֶ֖לֶת אֹונִ֣ים אָבָֽדָה׃ |
8 A iust man is delyuered from angwisch; and a wickid man schal be youun for hym.
| צַ֭דִּיק מִצָּרָ֣ה נֶחֱלָ֑ץ וַיָּבֹ֖א רָשָׁ֣ע תַּחְתָּֽיו׃ |
9 A feynere bi mouth disseyueth his freend; but iust men schulen be deliuered bi kunnyng.
| בְּפֶ֗ה חָ֭נֵף יַשְׁחִ֣ת רֵעֵ֑הוּ וּ֝בְדַ֗עַת צַדִּיקִ֥ים יֵחָלֵֽצוּ׃ |
10 A citee schal be enhaunsid in the goodis of iust men; and preysyng schal be in the perdicioun of wickid men.
| בְּט֣וּב צַ֭דִּיקִים תַּעֲלֹ֣ץ קִרְיָ֑ה וּבַאֲבֹ֖ד רְשָׁעִ֣ים רִנָּֽה׃ |
11 A citee schal be enhaunsid bi blessing of iust men; and it schal be distried bi the mouth of wickid men.
| בְּבִרְכַּ֣ת יְ֭שָׁרִים תָּר֣וּם קָ֑רֶת וּבְפִ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים תֵּהָרֵֽס׃ |
12 He that dispisith his freend, is nedi in herte; but a prudent man schal be stille.
| בָּז־לְרֵעֵ֥הוּ חֲסַר־לֵ֑ב וְאִ֖ישׁ תְּבוּנֹ֣ות יַחֲרִֽישׁ׃ |
13 He that goith gilefuli, schewith priuetees; but he that is feithful, helith the priuetee of a freend.
| הֹולֵ֣ךְ רָ֭כִיל מְגַלֶּה־סֹּ֑וד וְנֶאֱמַן־ר֝֗וּחַ מְכַסֶּ֥ה דָבָֽר׃ |
14 Where a gouernour is not, the puple schal falle; but helthe `of the puple is, where ben many counsels.
| בְּאֵ֣ין תַּ֭חְבֻּלֹות יִפָּל־עָ֑ם וּ֝תְשׁוּעָ֗ה בְּרֹ֣ב יֹועֵֽץ׃ |
15 He that makith feith for a straunger, schal be turmentid with yuel; but he that eschewith snaris, schal be sikur.
| רַע־יֵ֭רֹועַ כִּי־עָ֣רַב זָ֑ר וְשֹׂנֵ֖א תֹקְעִ֣ים בֹּוטֵֽחַ׃ |
16 A graciouse womman schal fynde glorie; and stronge men schulen haue richessis.
| אֵֽשֶׁת־חֵ֭ן תִּתְמֹ֣ךְ כָּבֹ֑וד וְ֝עָרִיצִ֗ים יִתְמְכוּ־עֹֽשֶׁר׃ |
17 A merciful man doith wel to his soule; but he that is cruel, castith awei, yhe, kynnesmen.

18 A wickid man makith vnstable werk; but feithful mede is to hym, that sowith riytfulnesse.
| רָשָׁ֗ע עֹשֶׂ֥ה פְעֻלַּת־שָׁ֑קֶר וְזֹרֵ֥עַ צְ֝דָקָ֗ה שֶׂ֣כֶר אֱמֶֽת׃ |
19 Merci schal make redi lijf; and the suyng of yuels `schal make redi deth.
| כֵּן־צְדָקָ֥ה לְחַיִּ֑ים וּמְרַדֵּ֖ף רָעָ֣ה לְמֹותֹֽו׃ |
20 A schrewid herte is abhomynable to the Lord; and his wille is in hem, that goen symply.
| תֹּועֲבַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה עִקְּשֵׁי־לֵ֑ב וּ֝רְצֹונֹ֗ו תְּמִ֣ימֵי דָֽרֶךְ׃ |
21 Thouy hond be in the hond, an yuel man schal not be innocent; but the seed of iust men schal be sauyd.

22 A goldun `sercle, ether ryng, in the `nose thrillis of a sowe, a womman fair and fool.

23 The desir of iust men is al good; abiding of wickid men is woodnesse.
| תַּאֲוַ֣ת צַדִּיקִ֣ים אַךְ־טֹ֑וב תִּקְוַ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים עֶבְרָֽה׃ |
24 Sum men departen her owne thingis, and ben maad richere; other men rauyschen thingis, that ben not hern, and ben euere in nedynesse.

30 The fruyt of a riytful man is the tre of lijf; and he that takith soulis, is a wijs man.

31 If a iust man receyueth in erthe, how miche more an vnfeithful man, and synnere.
| הֵ֣ן צַ֭דִּיק בָּאָ֣רֶץ יְשֻׁלָּ֑ם אַ֝֗ף כִּֽי־רָשָׁ֥ע וְחֹוטֵֽא׃ |
