Proverbs 20

KING JAMES BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.	1 Luxuriosa res vinum, et tumultuosa sicera; quicumque his delectatur, non erit sapiens.
2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.	2 Sicut rugitus leonis ita et terror regis: qui provocat eum, peccat in animam suam.
3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.	3 Honor est homini separari a contentionibus; omnes autem stulti miscentur contumeliis.
4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.	4 Propter frigus piger arare noluit; mendicabit ergo aestate, et non dabitur illi.
5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.	5 Sicut aqua profunda consilium in corde viri, sed homo sapiens exhauriet illud.
6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?	6 Multi homines misericordes vocantur; virum autem fidelem quis inveniet?
7 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.	7 Iustus, qui ambulat in simplicitate sua, beatos post se filios derelinquet.
8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.	8 Rex, qui sedet in solio iudicii, dissipat omne malum intuitu suo.
9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?	9 Quis potest dicere: “ Mundavi cor meum, purus sum a peccato ”?
10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.	10 Pondus et pondus, mensura et mensura, utrumque abominabile est apud Dominum.
11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.	11 Ex studiis suis intellegitur puer, si munda et recta sint opera eius.
12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.	12 Aurem audientem et oculum videntem, Dominus fecit utrumque.
13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.	13 Noli diligere somnum, ne te egestas opprimat; aperi oculos tuos et saturare panibus.
14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.	14 “ Malum est, malum est! ” dicit omnis emptor et, cum recesserit, tunc gloriabitur.
15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.	15 Est aurum et multitudo gemmarum et vas pretiosum labia scientiae.
16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.	16 Tolle vestimentum eius, quia fideiussor exstitit alieni, et pro extraneis aufer pignus ab eo.
17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.	17 Suavis est homini panis mendacii, et postea implebitur os eius calculo.
18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.	18 Cogitationes consiliis firmantur, et dispensationibus tractanda sunt bella.
19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.	19 Ei, qui revelat mysteria et calumniatur et dilatat labia sua, ne commiscearis.
20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.	20 Qui maledicit patri suo et matri, exstinguetur lucerna eius in mediis tenebris.
21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.	21 Hereditas, ad quam festinatur in principio, in novissimo benedictione carebit.
22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.	22 Ne dicas: “ Reddam malum ”; exspecta Dominum, et liberabit te.
23 Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.	23 Abominatio est apud Dominum pondus etpondus; statera dolosa non est bona in oculis eius.
24 Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?	24 A Domino diriguntur gressus viri; quis autem hominum intellegere potest viam suam?
25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make inquiry.	25 Laqueus est homini inconsulte dicere: “ Sanctum! ” et post vota retractare.
26 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.	26 Ventilat impios rex sapiens et incurvat super eos rotam.
27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.	27 Lucerna Domini spiraculum hominis, quae investigat omnia secreta ventris.
28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.	28 Misericordia et veritas custodiunt regem, et roboratur clementia thronus eius.
29 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.	29 Ornamentum iuvenum fortitudo eorum, et honor senum canities.
30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.	30 Livor vulneris absterget mala, et plagae in secretioribus ventris.
