Proverbs 13

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 A wise child listens to a father's discipline, a cynic wil not listen to reproof.	1 Filius sapiens disciplina patris; qui autem illusor est, non audit, cum arguitur.
2 The fruit of the mouth provides a good meal, but the soul of the treacherous feeds on violence.	2 De fructu oris sui homo satiabitur bonis, anima autem praevaricatorum violentia.
3 A guard on the mouth makes life secure, whoever talks too much is lost.	3 Qui custodit os suum, custodit animam suam; qui autem incautus est eloquio, ruina est ei.
4 The idler hungers but has no food; hard workers get their fill.	4 Vult et non habet piger, anima autem operantium impinguabitur.
5 The upright hates a lying word, but the wicked slanders and defames.	5 Verbum mendax iustus detestabitur, impius autem confundit et dehonestat.
6 Uprightness stands guard over one whose way is honest, sin causes the ruin of the wicked.	6 Iustitia custodit innocentem in via, impietas autem peccatorem supplantat.
7 There are some who, on nothing, pretend to be rich, some, with great wealth, pretend to be poor.	7 Est qui quasi dives habetur, cum nihil habeat; et est qui quasi pauper, cum in multis divitiis sit.
8 The ransom for life is a person's wealth; but the poor wil not hear the reproof.	8 Redemptio animae viri divitiae suae; qui autem pauper est, increpationem non sustinet.
9 The light of the upright is joyful, the lamp of the wicked goes out.	9 Lux iustorum laetificat, lucerna autem impiorum exstinguetur.
10 Insolence breeds only disputes, wisdom lies with those who take advice.	10 Inter superbos tantum iurgia sunt, et apud humiles sapientia.
11 A sudden fortune wil dwindle away, accumulation little by little is the way to riches.	11 Substantia festinata minuetur; qui autem colligit manu, multiplicat.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, desire fulfil ed is a tree of life.	12 Spes, quae differtur, affligit animam, lignum vitae desiderium veniens.
13 Contempt for the word is self-destructive, respect for the commandment wins salvation.	13 Qui contemnit verbum, ipse se obligat; qui autem timet praeceptum, retribuetur ei.
14 The teaching of the wise is a life-giving fountain for eluding the snares of death.	14 Lex sapientis fons vitae, ut declinet a laqueis mortis.
15 Good sense wins favour, but the way of the treacherous is hard.	15 Intellegentia bona dabit gratiam, in itinere infidelium vorago.
16 Anyone of discretion acts by the light of knowledge, the fool parades his fol y.	16 Omnis astutus agit cum consilio; qui autem fatuus est, aperit stultitiam.
17 A bad messenger fal s into misfortune, a trusty messenger brings healing.	17 Nuntius impius cadet in malum, legatus autem fidelis sanitas.
18 Whoever rejects discipline wins poverty and scorn; for anyone who accepts correction: honour.	18 Egestas et ignominia ei, qui deserit disciplinam; qui autem acquiescit arguenti, glorificabitur.
19 Desire fulfil ed is sweet to the soul; fools are loth to turn -- from evil.	19 Desiderium, si compleatur, delectat animam; detestantur stulti fugere mala.
20 Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, whoever mixes with fools wil be ruined.	20 Qui cum sapientibus graditur, sapiens erit; amicus stultorum malus efficietur.
21 Evil wil pursue the sinner, but good wil reward the upright.	21 Peccatores persequitur malum, et iustis retribuentur bona.
22 The good bequeaths a heritage to children's children, the wealth of the sinner is stored away for theupright.	22 Bonus relinquit heredes filios et nepotes; et custoditur iusto substantia peccatoris.
23 Though the farms of the poor yield much food, some perish for lack of justice.	23 Multi cibi in novalibus pauperum, et est qui perit, deficiente iudicio.
24 Whoever fails to use the stick hates his child; whoever is free with correction loves him.	24 Qui parcit virgae, odit filium suum; qui autem diligit illum, instanter erudit.
25 The upright eats to the full, the bel y of the wicked goes empty.	25 Iustus comedit et replet animam suam, venter autem impiorum insaturabilis.
