Proverbs 13
1 A wise son heareth the doctrine of his father: but he that is a scorner, beareth not when he is reproved.
Filius sapiens, doctrina patris: qui autem illusor est, non audit cum arguitur.
2 Of the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things: but the soul of transgressors is wicked.
De fructu oris sui homo satiabitur bonis: anima autem prævaricatorum iniqua.
3 He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his soul: but he that hath no guard on his speech shall meet with evils.
Qui custodit os suum, custodit animam suam: qui autem inconsideratus est ad loquendum, sentiet mala.
4 The sluggard willeth and willeth not: but the soul of them that work, shall be made fat.
Vult et non vult piger: anima autem operantium impinguabitur.
5 The just shall hate a lying word: but the wicked confoundeth, and shall be confounded.
Verbum mendax iustus detestabitur: impius autem confundit, et confundetur.
6 Justice keepeth the way of the innocent: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
Iustitia custodit innocentis viam: impietas autem peccatorem supplantat.
7 One is as it were rich, when he hath nothing: and another is as it were poor, when he hath great riches.
Est quasi dives cum nihil habeat: et est quasi pauper, cum in multis divitiis sit.
8 The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but he that is poor beareth not reprehension.
Redemptio animæ viri, divitiæ suæ: qui autem pauper est, increpationem non sustinet.
9 The light of the just giveth joy: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
Lux iustorum lætificat: lucerna autem impiorum extinguetur.
10 Among the proud there are always contentions: but they that do all things with counsel, are ruled by wisdom.
Inter superbos semper iurgia sunt: qui autem agunt omnia cum consilio, reguntur sapientia.
11 Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand shall increase.
Substantia festinata minuetur: quæ autem paulatim colligitur manu, multiplicabitur.
12 Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: desire when it cometh is a tree of life.
Spes, quæ differtur, affligit animam: lignum vitæ desiderium veniens.
13 Whosoever speaketh ill of any thing, bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the commandment, shall dwell in peace. Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy.
Qui detrahit alicui rei, ipse se in futurum obligat: qui autem timet præceptum, in pace versabitur. Animæ dolosæ errant in peccatis: iusti autem misericordes sunt, et miserantur.
14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, that he may decline from the ruin of death.
Lex sapientis fons vitæ, ut declinet a ruina mortis.
15 Good instruction shall give grace: in the way of scorners is a deep pit.
Doctrina bona dabit gratiam: in itinere contemptorum vorago.
16 The prudent mall doth all things with counsel: but he that is a fool, layeth open his folly.
Astutus omnia agit cum consilio: qui autem fatuus est, aperit stultitiam.
17 The messenger of the wicked shall fall into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
Nuncius impii cadet in malum: legatus autem fidelis, sanitas.
18 Poverty and shame to him that refuseth instruction: but he that yieldeth to reproof, shall be glorified.
Egestas, et ignominia ei, qui deserit disciplinam: qui autem acquiescit arguenti, glorificabitur.
19 The desire that is accomplished, delighteth the soul: fools hate them that flee from evil things.
Desiderium si compleatur, delectat animam: detestantur stulti eos, qui fugiunt mala.
20 He that walketh with the wise, shall be wise: a friend of fools shall become like to them.
Qui cum sapientibus graditur, sapiens erit: amicus stultorum similis efficietur.
21 Evil pursueth sinners: and to the just good shall be repaid.
Peccatores persequitur malum: et iustis retribuentur bona.
22 The good man leaveth heirs, sons, and grandsons: and the substance of the sinner is kept for the just.
Bonus reliquit heredes filios, et nepotes: et custoditur iusto substantia peccatoris.
23 Much food is in the tillage of fathers: but for others it is gathered with out judgment.
Multi cibi in novalibus patrum: et aliis congregantur absque iudicio.
24 He that spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes.
Qui parcit virgæ, odit filium suum: qui autem diligit illum, instanter erudit.
25 The just eateth and filleth his soul: but the belly of the wicked is never to be filled.
Iustus comedit, et replet animam suam: venter autem impiorum insaturabilis.
