Példabeszédek 12
Hungarian Károli
12 A jó ember jóakaratot nyer az Úrtól; de a gonosz embert kárhoztatja õ.
2 Nem erõsül meg ember az istentelenséggel; az igazaknak pedig gyökerök ki nem mozdul.
3 A derék asszony koronája az õ férjének; de mint az õ csontjaiban való rothadás, [olyan] a megszégyenítõ.
4 Az igazaknak gondolatjaik igazak; az istentelenek tanácsa csalás.
5 Az istenteleneknek beszédei leselkednek a vér után; az igazaknak pedig szája megszabadítja azokat.
6 Leomlanak az istentelenek, és oda lesznek; az igazak háza pedig megáll.
7 Az õ értelme szerint dicsértetik a férfiú; de az elfordult elméjû útálatos lesz.
8 Jobb, a kit kevésre tartanak, és szolgája van, mint a ki magát felmagasztalja, és szûk kenyerû.
9 Az igaz az õ barmának érzését [is] ismeri, az istentelenek szíve pedig kegyetlen.
10 A ki míveli az õ földét, megelégedik eledellel; a ki pedig követ hiábavalókat, bolond az.
11 Kivánja az istentelen a gonoszok prédáját; de az igaznak gyökere ád [gyümölcsöt.]
12 Az ajkaknak vétkében gonosz tõr van, de kimenekedik a nyomorúságból az igaz.
13 Az õ szájának gyümölcsébõl elégedik meg a férfi jóval; és az õ cselekedetének fizetését veszi az ember önmagának.
14 A bolondnak úta helyes az õ szeme elõtt, de a ki tanácscsal él, bölcs az.
15 A bolondnak haragja azon napon megismertetik; elfedezi pedig a szidalmat az eszes ember.
16 A ki igazán szól, megjelenti az igazságot, a hamis bizonyság pedig az álnokságot.
17 Van olyan, a ki beszél hasonlókat a tõrszúrásokhoz; de a bölcseknek nyelve orvosság.
18 Az igazmondó ajak megáll mind örökké; a hazugságnak pedig nyelve egy szempillantásig.
19 Álnokság van a gonosz gondolóknak szívében; a békességnek tanácsosiban pedig vígasság.
20 Nem vettetik az igaz semmi bántásba; az istentelenek pedig teljesek nyavalyával.
21 Útálatosok az Úrnál a csalárd beszédek; a kik pedig cselekesznek hûségesen, kedvesek õ nála.
22 Az eszes ember elfedezi a tudományt; a bolondok elméje pedig kikiáltja a bolondságot.
23 A gyorsaknak keze uralkodik; a rest pedig adófizetõ lesz.
24 A férfiúnak elméjében való gyötrelem megalázza azt; a jó szó pedig megvidámítja azt.
25 Útba igazítja az õ felebarátját az igaz; de az istentelenek útja eltévelyíti õket.
26 Nem süti meg a rest, a mit vadászásával fogott; de drága marhája az embernek serénysége.
27 Az igazságnak útjában van élet; és az õ ösvényének úta halhatatlanság.
Proverbs 12
King James Version
12 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
2 A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.
23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
28 In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
