Példabeszédek 26
Hungarian Károli
26 Mint a hó a nyárhoz és az esõ az aratáshoz, úgy nem illik a bolondhoz a tisztesség.
2 Miképen a madár elmegy és a fecske elrepül, azonképen az ok nélkül való átok nem száll az emberre.
3 Ostor a lónak, fék a szamárnak; és vesszõ a bolondok hátának.
4 Ne felelj meg a bolondnak az õ bolondsága szerint, hogy ne légy te is õ hozzá hasonlatos;
5 Felelj meg a bolondnak az õ bolondsága szerint, hogy ne legyen bölcs a maga szemei elõtt.
6 A ki bolond által izen valamit, lábait vagdalja el magának, és bosszúságot szenved.
7 [Mint] a sántának lábai lógnak, úgy a bölcsmondás a bolondoknak szájában.
8 Mint a ki követ köt a parittyába, úgy [cselekszik,] a ki a bolondnak tisztességet tesz.
9 [Mint] a részeg ember kezébe akad a tövis, [úgy akad] az eszes mondás a bolondoknak szájába.
10 Mint a lövöldözõ, a ki mindent megsebez, olyan az, a ki bolondot fogad fel, és a ki csavargókat fogad fel.
11 Mint az eb megtér a maga okádására, úgy a bolond megkettõzteti az õ bolondságát.
12 Láttál-é oly embert, a ki a maga szemei elõtt bölcs? A bolond felõl [jobb] reménységed legyen, hogynem mint a felõl!
13 Azt mondja a rest: ordító [oroszlán] van az úton! oroszlán van az utczákon!
14 [Mint] az ajtó forog az õ sarkán, úgy a rest az õ ágyában.
15 Ha a rest az õ kezét a tálba nyujtotta, resteli azt csak szájához is vinni.
16 Bölcsebb a rest a maga szemei elõtt, mint hét olyan, a ki okos feleletet ád.
17 Kóbor ebet ragad fülön, a ki felháborodik a perpatvaron, a mely õt nem illeti.
18 Mint a balga, a ki tüzet, nyilakat és halálos szerszámokat lövöldöz,
19 Olyan [az], a ki megcsalja az õ felebarátját, és azt mondja: csak tréfáltam!
20 Ha a fa elfogy, kialuszik a tûz; ha nincs súsárló, megszûnik a háborgás.
21 Mint az elevenszénre a holtszén, és a fa a tûzre, [olyan] a háborúságszerzõ ember a patvarkodásnak felgyujtására.
22 A fondorlónak beszédei hízelkedõk, és azok áthatják a szív belsejét.
23 [Mint] a meg nem tisztított ezüst, melylyel valami agyagedényt beborítottak, [olyanok] a gyulasztó ajkak a gonosz szív mellett.
24 Az õ beszédeivel másnak tetteti magát a gyûlölõ, holott az õ szívében gondol álnokságot.
25 Mikor kedvesen szól, ne bízzál õ hozzá; mert hét iszonyatosság van szívében.
26 Elfedeztethetik a gyûlölség csalással; de nyilvánvalóvá lesz az õ gonoszsága a gyülekezetben.
27 A ki vermet ás [másnak], abba belé esik; és a ki felhengeríti a követ, arra gurul vissza.
28 A hazug nyelv gyûlöli az általa megrontott [embert], és a hízelkedõ száj romlást szerez.
Proverbs 26
King James Version
26 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.
10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
Proverbs 26
English Standard Version
26 Like snow in summer or (A)rain in harvest,
so (B)honor is (C)not fitting for a fool.
2 Like (D)a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying,
(E)a curse that is causeless does not alight.
3 (F)A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
and (G)a rod for the back of fools.
4 (H)Answer not a fool according to his folly,
lest you be like him yourself.
5 (I)Answer a fool according to his folly,
lest he be (J)wise in his own eyes.
6 Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool
cuts off his own feet and (K)drinks violence.
7 Like a lame man's legs, which hang useless,
is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8 Like one who binds the stone in the sling
is (L)one who gives honor to a fool.
9 Like (M)a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard
is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 Like an archer who wounds everyone
is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard.[a]
11 Like (N)a dog that returns to his vomit
is (O)a fool who repeats his folly.
12 Do you see a man who is (P)wise in his own eyes?
(Q)There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13 (R)The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road!
There is a lion in the streets!”
14 As a door turns on its hinges,
so does a sluggard on his bed.
15 (S)The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is (T)wiser in his own eyes
(U)than seven men who can answer sensibly.
17 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own
is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
18 Like a madman who throws (V)firebrands, arrows, and death
19 is the man who deceives his neighbor
and says, “I am only joking!”
20 For lack of wood the fire goes out,
and where there is no (W)whisperer, (X)quarreling ceases.
21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
so is (Y)a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
22 (Z)The words of (AA)a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
they go down into the inner parts of the body.
23 (AB)Like the (AC)glaze[b] covering an earthen vessel
are fervent lips with an evil heart.
24 Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips
and harbors deceit in his heart;
25 (AD)when he speaks graciously, believe him not,
for there are (AE)seven abominations in his heart;
26 though his hatred be covered with deception,
his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 (AF)Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling.
28 A lying tongue hates its victims,
and a flattering mouth works ruin.
