Proverbs 10
1 THE PARABLE OF SALOMON. A wise sonne maketh a glad father: but a foolish sonne is an heauines to his mother.
Men pwovèb wa Salomon yo: Yon pitit ki gen bon konprann fè kè papa l' kontan. Men, yon pitit san konprann bay manman l' lapenn.
2 The treasures of wickednesse profite nothing: but righteousnesse deliuereth from death.

3 The Lord will not famish the soule of the righteous: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

4 A slouthfull hand maketh poore: but the hand of the diligent maketh riche.
Parese fè ou pòv, men travay di fè ou rich.
5 He that gathereth in sommer, is the sonne of wisdome: but he that sleepeth in haruest, is the sonne of confusion.
Yon nonm ki wè lwen ranmase rekòt li lè rekòt la pare. Men, se yon wont pou moun ki pase tou tan rekòt la ap dòmi.
6 Blessings are vpon the head of the righteous: but iniquitie shall couer the mouth of the wicked.

7 The memoriall of the iust shalbe blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rotte.
Y'ap toujou chonje yon nonm debyen, y'a fè lwanj pou li. Men, talè konsa non mechan an ap sèvi jouman.

10 He that winketh with the eye, worketh sorowe, and he yet is foolish in talke, shalbe beaten.
Moun k'ap twenzi je yo sou moun, se moun k'ap voye wòch kache men. Men, moun ki pale kare anpeche kont.
11 The mouth of a righteous man is a welspring of life: but iniquitie couereth the mouth of the wicked.

Lè ou gen renmen nan kè ou, ou padonnen tout peche. Men, lè ou rayi moun, ou toujou ap chache kont.
13 In the lippes of him that hath vnderstanding wisdome is founde, and a rod shalbe for the backe of him that is destitute of wisedome.
Moun lespri pale bon pawòl. Men, pou moun san konprann, se baton nan dèyè yo.
14 Wise men lay vp knowledge: but ye mouth of the foole is a present destruction.

18 He that dissembleth hatred with lying lips, and he that inuenteth slaunder, is a foole.
Moun ki rayi moun nan kè yo, se moun ou pa ka fye. Tout moun k'ap mache fè tripotay se moun san konprann.
19 In many wordes there cannot want iniquitie: but he that refrayneth his lippes, is wise.
Plis ou pale anpil, plis ou ka rive fè peche. Lè ou gen bonjan konprann ou kenbe bouch ou fèmen.
20 The tongue of the iust man is as fined siluer: but the heart of the wicked is litle worth.
Pawòl ki soti nan bouch moun k'ap mache dwat, se lò. Men, lide k'ap travay nan tèt yon mechan pa vo anyen.
21 The lippes of the righteous doe feede many: but fooles shall die for want of wisedome.

22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh riche, and he doeth adde no sorowes with it.

24 That which the wicked feareth, shall come vpon him: but God wil graunt the desire of the righteous.
Yon moun ki mache dwat, Bondye va ba li tou sa l' ta renmen genyen. Men mechan an, se sa l' pè rive l' la k'ap rive l'.
25 As the whirlewinde passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is as an euerlasting foundation.
Depi move tan pase, mechan yo disparèt lamenm. Men, moun k'ap mache dwat yo ap toujou kanpe fèm.
26 As vineger is to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the slouthful to them that send him.
Pa janm voye parese fè komisyon pou ou. L'ap ennève ou menm jan sitwon fè dan moun gasi, menm jan lafimen fè je moun koule dlo.
