Proverbs 11
1 A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but accurate weights are his delight.
statera dolosa abominatio apud Dominum et pondus aequum voluntas eius
2 When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.
ubi fuerit superbia ibi erit et contumelia ubi autem humilitas ibi et sapientia
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
simplicitas iustorum diriget eos et subplantatio perversorum vastabit illos
4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
non proderunt divitiae in die ultionis iustitia autem liberabit a morte
5 The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
iustitia simplicis diriget viam eius et in impietate sua corruet impius
6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.
iustitia rectorum liberabit eos et in insidiis suis capientur iniqui
7 When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, and expectation of power comes to nothing.
mortuo homine impio nulla erit ultra spes et expectatio sollicitorum peribit
8 A righteous person is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked takes his place.
iustus de angustia liberatus est et tradetur impius pro eo
9 With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
simulator ore decipit amicum suum iusti autem liberabuntur scientia
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting.
in bonis iustorum exultabit civitas et in perditione impiorum erit laudatio
11 By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
benedictione iustorum exaltabitur civitas et ore impiorum subvertetur
12 One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace.
qui despicit amicum suum indigens corde est vir autem prudens tacebit
13 One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.
qui ambulat fraudulenter revelat arcana qui autem fidelis est animi celat commissum
14 Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory.
ubi non est gubernator populus corruet salus autem ubi multa consilia
15 He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, but he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.
adfligetur malo qui fidem facit pro extraneo qui autem cavet laqueos securus erit
16 A gracious woman obtains honor, but violent men obtain riches.
mulier gratiosa inveniet gloriam et robusti habebunt divitias
17 The merciful man does good to his own soul, but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
benefacit animae suae vir misericors qui autem crudelis est et propinquos abicit
18 Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
impius facit opus instabile seminanti autem iustitiam merces fidelis
19 He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.
clementia praeparat vitam et sectatio malorum mortem
20 Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, but those whose ways are blameless are his delight.
abominabile Domino pravum cor et voluntas eius in his qui simpliciter ambulant
21 Most certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
manus in manu non erit innocens malus semen autem iustorum salvabitur
22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout, is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
circulus aureus in naribus suis mulier pulchra et fatua
23 The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.
desiderium iustorum omne bonum est praestolatio impiorum furor
24 There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.
alii dividunt propria et ditiores fiunt alii rapiunt non sua et semper in egestate sunt
25 The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.
anima quae benedicit inpinguabitur et qui inebriat ipse quoque inebriabitur
26 People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
qui abscondit frumenta maledicetur in populis benedictio autem super caput vendentium
27 He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.
bene consurgit diluculo qui quaerit bona qui autem investigator malorum est opprimetur ab eis
28 He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
qui confidet in divitiis suis corruet iusti autem quasi virens folium germinabunt
29 He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
qui conturbat domum suam possidebit ventos et qui stultus est serviet sapienti
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.
fructus iusti lignum vitae et qui suscipit animas sapiens est
31 Behold, the righteous shall be repaid in the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!
si iustus in terra recipit quanto magis impius et peccator
