Proverbele 28
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
28 Cel rău(A) fuge fără să fie urmărit,
dar cel neprihănit îndrăzneşte ca un leu tânăr.
2 Când este răscoală într-o ţară, sunt mulţi capi,
dar cu un om priceput şi încercat, domnia dăinuieşte.
3 Un om(B) sărac care apasă pe cei obijduiţi
este ca o rupere de nori care aduce lipsă de pâine.
4 Cei ce(C) părăsesc Legea laudă pe cel rău,
dar(D) cei ce păzesc Legea se mânie pe el.
5 Oamenii(E) dedaţi la rău nu înţeleg ce este drept,
dar cei ce(F) caută pe Domnul înţeleg totul.
6 Mai(G) mult preţuieşte săracul care umblă în neprihănirea lui,
decât bogatul care umblă pe căi sucite.
7 Cel ce(H) păzeşte legea este un fiu priceput,
dar cel ce(I) umblă cu cei desfrânaţi face ruşine tatălui său.
8 Cine(J) îşi înmulţeşte avuţiile prin dobândă şi camătă,
le strânge pentru cel ce are milă de săraci.
9 Dacă cineva îşi întoarce urechea ca să n-asculte Legea,
chiar(K) şi rugăciunea lui este o scârbă.
10 Cine(L) rătăceşte pe oamenii fără prihană pe calea cea rea
cade în groapa pe care a săpat-o,
dar(M) oamenii fără prihană moştenesc fericirea.
11 Omul bogat se crede înţelept,
dar săracul care este priceput îl cercetează.
12 Când(N) biruie cei neprihăniţi, este o mare slavă,
dar când se înalţă cei răi, fiecare se ascunde.
13 Cine(O) îşi ascunde fărădelegile nu propăşeşte,
dar cine le mărturiseşte şi se lasă de ele, capătă îndurare.
14 Ferice de omul care(P) se teme necontenit,
dar(Q) cel ce-şi împietreşte inima cade în nenorocire.
15 Ca un leu(R) care răcneşte şi ca un urs flămând,
aşa este(S) cel rău care stăpâneşte peste un popor sărac.
16 Un voievod fără pricepere îşi înmulţeşte faptele de asuprire,
dar cel ce urăşte lăcomia îşi lungeşte zilele.
17 Un om(T) al cărui cuget este încărcat cu sângele altuia
fuge până la groapă: nimeni să nu-l oprească.
18 Cine(U) umblă în neprihănire găseşte mântuirea,
dar cine(V) umblă pe două căi strâmbe cade într-o groapă.
19 Cine(W) îşi lucrează câmpul are belşug de pâine,
dar cine aleargă după lucruri de nimic are belşug de sărăcie.
20 Un om credincios este năpădit de binecuvântări,
dar(X) cel ce vrea să se îmbogăţească repede nu rămâne nepedepsit.
21 Nu este bine să(Y) cauţi la faţa oamenilor;
chiar pentru(Z) o bucată de pâine poate un om să se dedea la păcat.
22 Un om(AA) pizmaş se grăbeşte să se îmbogăţească,
şi nu ştie că lipsa va veni peste el.
23 Cine(AB) mustră pe alţii găseşte mai multă bunăvoinţă pe urmă,
decât cel cu limba linguşitoare.
24 Cine fură pe tatăl său şi pe mama sa şi zice că nu este un păcat
este tovarăş(AC) cu nimicitorul.
25 Cel lacom(AD) stârneşte certuri,
dar(AE) cel ce se încrede în Domnul este săturat din belşug.
26 Cine se încrede în inima lui este un nebun,
dar cine umblă în înţelepciune va fi mântuit.
27 Cine(AF) dă săracului nu duce lipsă,
dar cine închide ochii este încărcat cu blesteme.
28 Când(AG) se înalţă cei răi, fiecare(AH) se ascunde,
dar, când pier ei, cei buni se înmulţesc.
Proverbs 28
New King James Version
Proverbs 28
New King James Version
The Righteous Are Bold as a Lion
28 The (A)wicked flee when no one pursues,
But the righteous are bold as a lion.
2 Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes;
But by a man of understanding and knowledge
Right will be prolonged.
6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
Than one perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7 Whoever keeps the law is a discerning son,
But a companion of gluttons shames his father.
8 One who increases his possessions by usury and extortion
Gathers it for him who will pity the poor.
9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
(G)Even his prayer is an abomination.
10 (H)Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way,
He himself will fall into his own pit;
(I)But the blameless will inherit good.
11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes,
But the poor who has understanding searches him out.
12 When the righteous rejoice, there is great (J)glory;
But when the wicked arise, men [b]hide themselves.
13 (K)He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
14 Happy is the man who is always reverent,
But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
16 A ruler who lacks understanding is a great (N)oppressor,
But he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.
17 (O)A man burdened with bloodshed will flee into a pit;
Let no one help him.
18 Whoever walks blamelessly will be [c]saved,
But he who is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall.
19 (P)He who tills his land will have plenty of bread,
But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough!
20 A faithful man will abound with blessings,
(Q)But he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.
22 A man with an evil eye hastens after riches,
And does not consider that (T)poverty will come upon him.
23 (U)He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward
Than he who flatters with the tongue.
24 Whoever robs his father or his mother,
And says, “It is no transgression,”
The same (V)is companion to a destroyer.
25 (W)He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife,
(X)But he who trusts in the Lord will be prospered.
26 He who (Y)trusts in his own heart is a fool,
But whoever walks wisely will be delivered.
27 (Z)He who gives to the poor will not lack,
But he who hides his eyes will have many curses.
28 When the wicked arise, (AA)men hide themselves;
But when they perish, the righteous increase.

Proverbs 28
King James Version
Proverbs 28
King James Version
28 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
2 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things.
6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
10 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
22 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
23 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat.
26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
Proverbs 28
New International Version
Proverbs 28
New International Version
2 When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers,
but a ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order.
3 A ruler[a] who oppresses the poor
is like a driving rain that leaves no crops.
4 Those who forsake instruction praise the wicked,
but those who heed it resist them.
5 Evildoers do not understand what is right,
but those who seek the Lord understand it fully.
6 Better the poor whose walk is blameless
than the rich whose ways are perverse.(D)
7 A discerning son heeds instruction,
but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.(E)
8 Whoever increases wealth by taking interest(F) or profit from the poor
amasses it for another,(G) who will be kind to the poor.(H)
9 If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction,
even their prayers are detestable.(I)
10 Whoever leads the upright along an evil path
will fall into their own trap,(J)
but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.
11 The rich are wise in their own eyes;
one who is poor and discerning sees how deluded they are.
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great elation;(K)
but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding.(L)
13 Whoever conceals their sins(M) does not prosper,
but the one who confesses(N) and renounces them finds mercy.(O)
14 Blessed is the one who always trembles before God,
but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.
15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.
16 A tyrannical ruler practices extortion,
but one who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long reign.
17 Anyone tormented by the guilt of murder
will seek refuge(P) in the grave;
let no one hold them back.
18 The one whose walk is blameless is kept safe,(Q)
but the one whose ways are perverse will fall(R) into the pit.[b]
19 Those who work their land will have abundant food,
but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty.(S)
20 A faithful person will be richly blessed,
but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.(T)
22 The stingy are eager to get rich
and are unaware that poverty awaits them.(X)
23 Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor
rather than one who has a flattering tongue.(Y)
24 Whoever robs their father or mother(Z)
and says, “It’s not wrong,”
is partner to one who destroys.(AA)
27 Those who give to the poor will lack nothing,(AF)
but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.(AG)
28 When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding;(AH)
but when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive.
