Ordspråksboken 13
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
13 (A) En vis son hör
sin fars förmaning,
en hånare lyder ingen tillsägelse.
2 (B) Av munnens frukt får man njuta gott,
men de trolösa hungrar efter våld.
3 (C) Den som vaktar sin tunga
bevarar sitt liv,
den pratsamme råkar i olycka.
4 (D) Den late är full av begär
men får inget,
de flitigas hunger blir rikt mättad.
5 (E) Den rättfärdige avskyr lögnaktigt tal,
den gudlöse beter sig
avskyvärt och skamligt.
6 (F) Rättfärdighet bevarar den hederlige,
ondska fäller syndaren.
7 (G) Den ene vill verka rik
men har ingenting,
den andre vill verka fattig
men äger mycket.
8 Den rike måste ge sin rikedom
som lösen för sitt liv,
men den fattige
hör inte av något hot.
9 (H) De rättfärdigas ljus lyser klart,
men de gudlösas lampa slocknar.
11 Lätt fånget är lätt förgånget,
men den som samlar
efter hand får mycket.
12 Utdragen väntan tär på hjärtat,
uppfylld önskan är ett livets träd.
14 (K) Den vises undervisning
är en källa till liv,
en hjälp att undgå dödens snaror.
16 (M) Den kloke handlar med förstånd,
dåren blottar sin dumhet.
17 (N) En gudlös budbärare
faller i olycka,
ett pålitligt sändebud ger läkedom.
18 (O) Fattigdom och skam
får den som föraktar förmaning,
men den som tar vara
på tillrättavisning blir ärad.
19 (P) Uppfylld önskan är ljuv för själen,
men dårar avskyr
att överge sin ondska.
20 Den som vandrar med de visa
blir vis,
den som umgås med dårar
går det illa.
21 Syndare förföljs av olycka,
de rättfärdigas lön blir lycka.
22 (Q) Den gode lämnar arv
åt barnbarnen,
men syndarens egendom
förvaras åt den rättfärdige.
23 De fattigas nyodling ger riklig föda,
men den sopas bort när orätt råder.
24 (R) Den som spar på riset
hatar sin son,
den som älskar honom
fostrar honom i tid.
25 (S) Den rättfärdige äter och blir mätt,
de gudlösa får gå med tom mage.
Proverbs 13
New American Standard Bible
Contrast of the Upright and the Wicked
13 A (A)wise son accepts his father’s discipline,
But a (B)scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
2 From the fruit of a person’s mouth he [a](C)enjoys good,
But the [b]desire of the treacherous is (D)violence.
3 One who (E)guards his mouth protects his life;
One who (F)opens wide his lips [c]comes to ruin.
4 The soul of the [d]lazy one craves and gets nothing,
But the soul of the diligent is made [e]prosperous.
5 A righteous person (G)hates a false statement,
But a wicked person [f](H)acts disgustingly and shamefully.
6 Righteousness (I)guards the [g]one whose way is blameless,
But wickedness brings the [h]sinner to ruin.
7 There is one who (J)pretends to be rich but has nothing;
Another pretends to be (K)poor, but has great wealth.
8 The ransom of a person’s life is his wealth,
But the poor hears no rebuke.
9 The (L)light of the righteous [i]rejoices,
But the (M)lamp of the wicked goes out.
10 Through overconfidence [j]comes nothing but strife,
But wisdom is with those who receive counsel.
11 Wealth obtained from [k]nothing dwindles,
But one who gathers [l]by labor increases it.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But desire [m]fulfilled is a tree of life.
13 One who (N)despises the word will do badly,
But one who fears the commandment will be (O)rewarded.
14 The [n]teaching of the wise is a (P)fountain of life,
To turn aside from the (Q)snares of death.
15 (R)Good understanding produces favor,
But the way of the treacherous is [o]their own disaster.
16 Every (S)prudent person acts with knowledge,
But a fool [p]displays foolishness.
17 A wicked messenger falls into adversity,
But (T)a faithful messenger brings healing.
18 Poverty and shame will come to one who (U)neglects [q]discipline,
But one who complies with rebuke will be honored.
19 Desire realized is sweet to the soul,
But it is an abomination to fools to turn away from evil.
20 (V)One who walks with wise people will be wise,
But a companion of fools will suffer harm.
21 (W)Adversity pursues sinners,
But the (X)righteous will be rewarded with prosperity.
22 A good person (Y)leaves an inheritance to his [r]grandchildren,
And the (Z)wealth of a sinner is stored up for the righteous.
23 (AA)Abundant food is in the uncultivated ground of the poor,
But [s]it is swept away by injustice.
24 He who (AB)withholds his [t]rod hates his son,
But he who loves him [u](AC)disciplines him diligently.
25 The (AD)righteous [v]has enough to satisfy his appetite,
But the stomach of the (AE)wicked is in need.
