Proverbs 28
1 The wicked flee when none pursueth: but the righteous are bolde as a lyon.
Bezdievīgais bēg, kur dzinēja nav; bet taisnie ir droši, kā jauns lauva.
2 For the transgression of the land there are many princes thereof: but by a man of vnderstanding and knowledge a realme likewise endureth long.
Caur dumpjiem zemei tiek daudz valdnieku; bet ja ļaudis prātīgi un apdomīgi, tad valdnieks paliek ilgi.
3 A poore man, if he oppresse the poore, is like a raging raine, that leaueth no foode.
Nabaga kungs, kas nabagus apspiež, ir kā plūdu lietus, un maizes nav.
4 They that forsake the Law, prayse the wicked: but they that keepe the Law, set themselues against them.
Kas paši mācību atstāj, tie slavē bezdievīgus; bet kas mācību tura, tie ļaunojās par tiem.
5 Wicked men vnderstand not iudgemnt: but they that seeke the Lord vnderstand all things.
Ļauni ļaudis neatzīst, kas Dieva tiesa, bet kas To Kungu meklē, tie atzīst visu.
6 Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnesse, then hee that peruerteth his wayes, though he be riche.
Labāks ir nabags, kas staigā skaidrībā, nekā bagāts netiklā ceļā.
7 He that keepeth the Law, is a childe of vnderstanding: but hee that feedeth the gluttons, shameth his father.
Kas glabā mācību, tas ir prātīgs bērns; bet kas rijēju biedrs, dara tēvam kaunu.
8 He that increaseth his riches by vsurie and interest, gathereth them for him that will be mercifull vnto the poore.
Kas savu mantu vairo ar augļošanu un augļus ņemot, tas to krāj tādam, kas par nabagiem apžēlojās.
9 He that turneth away his eare from hearing the Law, euen his prayer shalbe abominable.
Kas savu ausi nogriež no Dieva bauslības, pat tāda cilvēka lūgšana ir neganta.
10 He that causeth the righteous to go astray by an euill way, shall fall into his owne pit, and the vpright shall inherite good things.
Kas maldina bezvainīgus uz ļauniem ceļiem, tas pats kritīs savā bedrē; bet tie sirdsskaidrie iemantos labumu.
11 The riche man is wise in his owne conceite: but the poore that hath vnderstanding, can trie him.
Bagāts vīrs savā prātā gudrs; bet nabags, kas prātīgs, to izmana.
12 When righteous men reioyce, there is great glory: but when the wicked come vp, the man is tried.
Kad taisnie gavilē, tas ir liels jaukums; bet kad bezdievīgie galvu paceļ tad ļaudis slēpjas.
13 He that hideth his sinnes, shall not prosper: but he that confesseth, and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy.
Kas savus pārkāpumus apklāj, tam tas neizdosies; bet kas tos izsūdz un atstāj, tas dabūs žēlastību.
14 Blessed is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into euill.
Svētīgs, kas Dievu bīstas vienmēr; bet kas savu sirdi apcietina, kritīs postā.
15 As a roaring lyon, and an hungry beare, so is a wicked ruler ouer the poore people.
Bezdievīgais, kas valda pār nabaga ļaudīm, ir rūkdams lauva un izsalcis lācis.
16 A prince destitute of vnderstanding, is also a great oppressour: but hee that hateth couetousnes, shall prolong his dayes.
Valdnieks nav gudrs, ja mudīgs uz varas darbiem; bet kas labprāt neplēš, dzīvos ilgi.
17 A man that doeth violence against the blood of a person, shall flee vnto the graue, and they shall not stay him.
Pie kā rokām cilvēka asinis līp, tas bēgs līdz bedrei; palīga tas nedabūs.
18 He that walketh vprightly, shalbe saued: but he that is froward in his wayes, shall once fall.
Kas staigā vientiesībā, tam labi klāsies; bet blēdis pa diviem ceļiem vienā klups.
19 He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, shall be filled with pouertie.
Kas savu zemi kopj, būs maizes paēdis; bet kas niekus triec, būs bada paēdis.
20 A faythfull man shall abound in blessings, and he that maketh haste to be riche, shall not be innocent.
Godīgs vīrs būs bagāti svētīts, bet kas dzenās bagāts palikt, nebūs nenoziedzīgs.
21 To haue respect of persons is not good: for that man will transgresse for a piece of bread.
Nav labi, cilvēka vaigu uzlūkot; jo tāds arī par maizes kumosu dara netaisnību.
22 A man with a wicked eye hasteth to riches, and knoweth not, that pouertie shall come vpon him.
Kas ar skaudīgu aci dzenās pēc bagātības, neapdomā, ka viņam trūcība pienāks.
23 He that rebuketh a man, shall finde more fauour at length, then he that flattereth with his tongue.
Kas cilvēku aprāj, tas pēc atradīs vairāk pateicības, nekā tāds, kam mīksta mēle.
24 Hee that robbeth his father and mother, and sayth, It is no transgression, is the companion of a man that destroyeth.
Kas savu tēvu vai māti laupa un saka: „Tas nav grēks!“tāds ir slepkavas biedrs.
25 He that is of a proude heart, stirreth vp strife: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be fatte.
Negausis saceļ nemieru; bet kas uz To Kungu cerē, tas būs turīgs.
26 Hee that trusteth in his owne heart, is a foole: but he that walketh in wisdome, shall be deliuered.
Kas uz savu sirdi paļaujas, ir ģeķis; bet kas ar gudrību staigā, tiks izglābts.
27 He that giueth vnto the poore, shall not lacke: but he that hideth his eyes, shall haue many curses.
Kas nabagam dod, tam nepietrūks; bet kas savas acis priekš tā aizslēdz, tam uzies daudz lāstu.
28 When the wicked rise vp, men hide them selues: but when they perish, ye righteous increase.
Kad bezdievīgie paceļ galvu, tad ļaudis slēpjas; bet kad tie beigti, tad taisnie iet vairumā.
