Proverbi 18
Nuova Riveduta 1994
18 Chi si separa dagli altri cerca
la sua propria soddisfazione,
e si irrita contro tutto ciò che è giusto.
2 Lo stolto prende piacere, non nella
prudenza,
ma soltanto nel manifestare ciò che ha nel cuore.
3 Quando viene l'empio, viene anche
il disprezzo;
e, con la vergogna, viene il disonore.
4 Le parole della bocca di un uomo
sono acque profonde;
la fonte di saggezza è un ruscello che
scorre perenne.
5 Non è bene avere per l'empio dei
riguardi personali,
per fare torto al giusto nel giudizio.
6 Le labbra dello stolto causano liti,
e la sua bocca attira percosse.
7 La bocca dello stolto è la sua rovina,
e le sue labbra sono un laccio per la sua anima.
8 Le parole del maldicente sono come ghiottonerie,
e penetrano fino all'intimo delle viscere.
9 Anche colui che è sfaticato nel suo
lavoro
è fratello del dissipatore.
10 Il nome del Signore è una forte
torre;
il giusto vi corre, e vi trova un alto
rifugio.
11 I beni del ricco sono la sua
roccaforte;
sono come un'alta muraglia…
nella sua immaginazione.
12 Prima della rovina, il cuore
dell'uomo s'innalza,
ma l'umiltà precede la gloria.
13 Chi risponde prima di avere
ascoltato,
mostra la sua follia, e rimane confuso.
14 Lo spirito dell'uomo lo sostiene
quand'egli è infermo; ma lo spirito
abbattuto chi lo solleverà?
15 Il cuore dell'uomo intelligente
acquista la scienza,
e l'orecchio dei saggi la cerca.
16 I regali che uno fa gli aprono
la strada
e gli danno accesso tra i grandi.
17 Il primo a perorare la propria causa pare che abbia ragione;
ma viene l'altra parte, e lo mette alla
prova.
18 La sorte fa cessare le liti
e decide fra i grandi.
19 Un fratello offeso è piú
inespugnabile di una fortezza;
e le liti tra fratelli sono come le sbarre di un castello.
20 Con il frutto della sua bocca l'uomo sazia il corpo;
si sazia con il frutto delle sue labbra.
21 Morte e vita sono in potere della
lingua;
chi l'ama ne mangerà i frutti.
22 Chi ha trovato moglie ha trovato
un bene
e ha ottenuto un favore dal Signore.
23 Il povero parla supplicando,
e il ricco risponde con durezza.
24 Chi ha molti amici può esserne
sopraffatto,
ma c'è un amico che è piú affezionato
di un fratello.

18 Den egensinnige följer sin egen lystnad, med all makt söker han strid.
2 Dåren frågar ej efter förstånd, allenast efter att få lägga fram vad han har i hjärtat.
3 Där den ogudaktige kommer, där kommer förakt, och med skamlig vandel följer smälek.
4 Orden i en mans mun äro såsom ett djupt vatten, såsom en flödande bäck, en vishetens källa.
5 Att vara partisk för den skyldige är icke tillbörligt ej heller att vränga rätten för den oskyldige.
6 Dårens läppar komma med kiv, och hans mun ropar efter slag.
7 Dårens mun är honom själv till olycka, och hans läppar äro en snara hans liv.
8 Örontasslarens ord äro såsom läckerbitar och tränga ned till hjärtats innandömen.
9 Den som är försumlig i sitt arbete, han är allaredan en broder till rövaren.
10 HERRENS namn är ett starkt torn; den rättfärdige hastar dit och varder beskyddad.
11 Den rikes skatter äro honom en fast stad, höga murar likna de, i hans inbillning.
12 Före fall går högmod i mannens hjärta, och ödmjukhet går före ära.
13 Om någon giver svar, förrän han har hört, så tillräknas det honom såsom oförnuft och skam.
14 Mod uppehåller mannen i hans svaghet; men ett brutet mod, vem kan bära det?
15 Den förståndiges hjärta förvärvar kunskap, och de visas öron söka kunskap.
16 Gåvor öppna väg för en människa och föra henne fram inför de store.
17 Den som först lägger fram sin sak har rätt; sedan kommer vederparten och uppdagar huru det är.
18 Lottkastning gör en ände på trätor, den skiljer mellan mäktiga män.
19 En förorättad broder är svårare att vinna än en fast stad, och trätor äro såsom bommar för ett slott.
20 Av sin muns frukt får envar sin buk mättad, han varder mättad av sina läppars gröda.
21 Död och liv har tungan i sitt våld, de som gärna bruka henne få äta hennes frukt.
22 Den som har funnit en rätt hustru, han har funnit lycka och har undfått nåd av HERREN.
23 Bönfallande är den fattiges tal, men den rike svarar med hårda ord.
24 Den som ävlas att få vänner, han kommer i olycka; men vänner finnas, mer trogna än en broder.
Proverbs 18
King James Version
Proverbs 18
King James Version
18 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.
23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18
New International Version
Proverbs 18
New International Version
18 An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends
and against all sound judgment starts quarrels.
2 Fools find no pleasure in understanding
but delight in airing their own opinions.(A)
3 When wickedness comes, so does contempt,
and with shame comes reproach.
4 The words of the mouth are deep waters,(B)
but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream.
6 The lips of fools bring them strife,
and their mouths invite a beating.(E)
8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.(H)
9 One who is slack in his work
is brother to one who destroys.(I)
11 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city;(L)
they imagine it a wall too high to scale.
12 Before a downfall the heart is haughty,
but humility comes before honor.(M)
13 To answer before listening—
that is folly and shame.(N)
14 The human spirit can endure in sickness,
but a crushed spirit who can bear?(O)
15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge,(P)
for the ears of the wise seek it out.
16 A gift(Q) opens the way
and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.
17 In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right,
until someone comes forward and cross-examines.
18 Casting the lot settles disputes(R)
and keeps strong opponents apart.
19 A brother wronged(S) is more unyielding than a fortified city;
disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.
20 From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled;
with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied.(T)
23 The poor plead for mercy,
but the rich answer harshly.
24 One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.(Y)
