Proverbs 28
|
| HUYE el impío sin que nadie lo persiga: Mas el justo está confiado como un leoncillo. | The evil man goes running away when no man is after him, but the upright are without fear, like the lion. |
| Por la rebelión de la tierra sus príncipes son muchos: Mas por el hombre entendido y sabio permanecerá sin mutación. | Because of the sin of the land, its troubles are increased; but by a man of wisdom and knowledge they will be put out like a fire. |
| El hombre pobre y robador de los pobres, Es lluvia de avenida y sin pan. | A man of wealth who is cruel to the poor is like a violent rain causing destruction of food. |
| Los que dejan la ley, alaban á los impíos: Mas los que la guardan, contenderán con ellos. | Those who have no respect for the law give praise to the evil-doer; but such as keep the law are against him. |
| Los hombres malos no entienden el juicio: Mas los que buscan á Jehová, entienden todas las cosas. | Evil men have no knowledge of what is right; but those who go after the Lord have knowledge of all things. |
| Mejor es el pobre que camina en su integridad, Que el de perversos caminos, y rico. | Better is the poor man whose ways are upright, than the man of wealth whose ways are not straight. |
| El que guarda la ley es hijo prudente: Mas el que es compañero de glotones, avergüenza á su padre. | He who keeps the law is a wise son, but he who keeps company with feasters puts shame on his father. |
| El que aumenta sus riquezas con usura y crecido interés, Para que se dé á los pobres lo allega. | He who makes his wealth greater by taking interest, only gets it together for him who has pity on the poor. |
| El que aparta su oído para no oir la ley, Su oración también es abominable. | As for the man whose ear is turned away from hearing the law, even his prayer is disgusting. |
| El que hace errar á los rectos por el mal camino, Él caerá en su misma sima: Mas los perfectos heredarán el bien. | Anyone causing the upright to go wandering in an evil way, will himself go down into the hole he has made; but the upright will have good things for their heritage. |
| El hombre rico es sabio en su opinión: Mas el pobre entendido lo examinará. | The man of wealth seems to himself to be wise, but the poor man who has sense has a low opinion of him. |
| Cuando los justos se alegran, grande es la gloria; Mas cuando los impíos son levantados, es buscado el hombre. | When the upright do well, there is great glory; but when evil-doers are lifted up, men do not let themselves be seen. |
| El que encubre sus pecados, no prosperará: Mas el que los confiesa y se aparta, alcanzará misericordia. | He who keeps his sins secret will not do well; but one who is open about them, and gives them up, will get mercy. |
| Bienaventurado el hombre que siempre está temeroso: Mas el que endurece su corazón, caerá en mal. | Happy is the man in whom is the fear of the Lord at all times; but he whose heart is hard will come into trouble. |
| León rugiente y oso hambriento, Es el príncipe impío sobre el pueblo pobre. | Like a loud-voiced lion and a wandering bear, is an evil ruler over a poor people. |
| El príncipe falto de entendimiento multiplicará los agravios: Mas el que aborrece la avaricia, prolongará sus días. | The prince who has no sense is a cruel ruler; but he who has no desire to get profit for himself will have long life. |
| El hombre que hace violencia con sangre de persona, Huirá hasta el sepulcro, y nadie le detendrá. | One who has been the cause of a man's death will go in flight to the underworld: let no man give him help. |
| El que en integridad camina, será salvo; Mas el de perversos caminos caerá en alguno. | He whose ways are upright will be safe, but sudden will be the fall of him whose ways are twisted. |
| El que labra su tierra, se hartará de pan: Mas el que sigue los ociosos, se hartará de pobreza. | By ploughing his land a man will have bread in full measure; but he who goes after good-for-nothing persons will be poor enough. |
| El hombre de verdad tendrá muchas bendiciones: Mas el que se apresura á enriquecer, no será sin culpa. | A man of good faith will have great blessing, but one attempting to get wealth quickly will not go free from punishment. |
| Tener acepción de personas, no es bueno: Hasta por un bocado de pan prevaricará el hombre. | It is not good to have respect for a man's position: for a man will do wrong for a bit of bread. |
| Apresúrase á ser rico el hombre de mal ojo; Y no conoce que le ha de venir pobreza. | He who is ever desiring wealth goes running after money, and does not see that need will come on him. |
| El que reprende al hombre, hallará después mayor gracia Que el que lisonjea con la lengua. | He who says words of protest to a man will later have more approval than one who says smooth words with his tongue. |
| El que roba á su padre ó á su madre, y dice que no es maldad, Compañero es del hombre destruidor. | He who takes from his father or his mother what is theirs by right, and says, It is no sin; is the same as a taker of life. |
| El altivo de ánimo suscita contiendas: Mas el que en Jehová confía, medrará. | He who is ever desiring profit is a cause of fighting; but he who puts his faith in the Lord will be made fat. |
| El que confía en su corazón es necio; Mas el que camina en sabiduría, será salvo. | He whose faith is in himself is foolish; but everyone walking wisely will be kept safe. |
| El que da al pobre, no tendrá pobreza: Mas el que aparta sus ojos, tendrá muchas maldiciones. | He who gives to the poor will never be in need, but great curses will be on him who gives no attention to them. |
| Cuando los impíos son levantados, esconderáse el hombre: Mas cuando perecen, los justos se multiplican. | When evil-doers are lifted up, men take cover; but when destruction overtakes them, the upright are increased. |
