1Ang puso ng hari ay nasa kamay ng Panginoon na parang mga batis: kumikiling saan man niya ibigin. 2Bawa't lakad ng tao ay matuwid sa kaniyang sariling mga mata: nguni't tinitimbang ng Panginoon ang mga puso. 3Gumawa ng kaganapan at kahatulan ay lalong kalugodlugod sa Panginoon kay sa hain. 4Ang mapagmataas na tingin, at ang palalong puso, siyang ilaw ng masama, ay kasalanan. 5Ang mga pagiisip ng masipag ay patungo sa kasaganaan lamang: nguni't bawa't nagmamadali ay sa pangangailangan lamang. 6Ang pagtatamo ng mga kayamanan sa pamamagitan ng sinungaling na dila ay singaw na tinatangay na paroo't parito noong nagsisihanap ng kamatayan. 7Ang pangdadahas ng masama ay siya ring papalis sa kanila; sapagka't sila'y nagsitangging magsigawa ng kahatulan. 8Ang lakad ng nagpapasan ng sala ay lubhang liko; nguni't tungkol sa malinis, ang kaniyang gawa ay matuwid. 9Lalong maigi ang tumahan sa sulok ng bubungan, kay sa palatalong babae sa maluwang na bahay. 10Ang kaluluwa ng masama ay nagnanasa ng kasamaan: ang kaniyang kapuwa ay hindi nakakasumpong ng lingap sa kaniyang mga mata. 11Pagka ang mangduduwahagi ay pinarusahan, ang musmos ay nagiging pantas: at pagka ang pantas ay tinuturuan, siya'y tumatanggap ng kaalaman. 12Pinagninilay ng matuwid ang bahay ng masama, kung paanong napapahamak ang masama sa kanilang pagkapariwara. 13Ang nagtatakip ng kaniyang mga pakinig sa daing ng dukha, siya naman ay dadaing, nguni't hindi didinggin. 14Ang kaloob na lihim ay nagpapatahimik ng galit, at ang alay sa sinapupunan, ay ng malaking poot. 15Kagalakan sa matuwid ang gumawa ng kahatulan; nguni't kapahamakan sa mga manggagawa ng kasamaan. 16Ang tao na gumagala sa labas ng daan ng kaunawaan, magpapahinga sa kapisanan ng patay. 17Ang umiibig ng kalayawan ay magiging dukha: ang umiibig sa alak at langis ay hindi yayaman. 18Ang masama ay isang katubusan para sa matuwid, at ang taksil ay sa lugar ng matuwid. 19Lalong maigi ang tumahan sa ilang na lupain, kay sa makisama sa palatalo at magagaliting babae. 20May mahalagang kayamanan at langis sa tahanan ng pantas; nguni't ito'y sinasakmal ng mangmang. 21Ang sumusunod sa katuwiran at kagandahang-loob nakakasumpong ng buhay, katuwiran, at karangalan. 22Sinasampa ng pantas ang bayan ng makapangyarihan, at ibinabagsak ang lakas ng pagkakatiwala niyaon. 23Sinomang nagiingat ng kaniyang bibig at kaniyang dila nagiingat ng kaniyang kaluluwa mula sa mga kabagabagan. 24Ang palalo at mapagmataas na tao, manglilibak ang kaniyang pangalan, siya'y gumagawa sa kahambugan ng kapalaluan. 25Ang nasa ng tamad ay pumapatay sa kaniya; sapagka't tumatanggi ang kaniyang mga kamay sa paggawa. 26May nagiimbot sa kasakiman buong araw: nguni't ang matuwid ay nagbibigay at hindi nagkakait. 27Ang hain ng masama ay karumaldumal: gaano pa nga, pagka kaniyang dinadala na may masamang isip! 28Ang sinungaling na saksi ay mamamatay: nguni't ang taong nakikinig ay magsasalita upang mamalagi. 29Ang masamang tao ay nagmamatigas ng kaniyang mukha; nguni't tungkol sa taong matuwid, nagaayos ng kaniyang mga lakad. 30Walang karunungan, o kaunawaan man, O payo man laban sa Panginoon. 31Ang kabayo ay handa laban sa kaarawan ng pagbabaka: nguni't ang pagtatagumpay ay sa Panginoon.
1The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires. 2Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the hearts. 3To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice. 4A high look, and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, is sin. 5The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty. 6Getting treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death. 7The violence of the wicked will drive them away, because they refuse to do what is right. 8The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct of the innocent is upright. 9It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than to share a house with a contentious woman. 10The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes. 11When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom. When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge. 12The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked, and brings the wicked to ruin. 13Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard. 14A gift in secret pacifies anger; and a bribe in the cloak, strong wrath. 15It is joy to the righteous to do justice; but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. 16The man who wanders out of the way of understanding shall rest in the assembly of the departed spirits. 17He who loves pleasure shall be a poor man. He who loves wine and oil shall not be rich. 18The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; the treacherous for the upright. 19It is better to dwell in a desert land, than with a contentious and fretful woman. 20There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man swallows it up. 21He who follows after righteousness and kindness finds life, righteousness, and honor. 22A wise man scales the city of the mighty, and brings down the strength of its confidence. 23Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles. 24The proud and haughty man, “scoffer” is his name; he works in the arrogance of pride. 25The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor. 26There are those who covet greedily all day long; but the righteous give and don’t withhold. 27The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind! 28A false witness will perish, and a man who listens speaks to eternity. 29A wicked man hardens his face; but as for the upright, he establishes his ways. 30There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Yahweh. 31The horse is prepared for the day of battle; but victory is with Yahweh.
1Des konings hart is in de hand des HEEREN als waterbeken. Hij neigt het tot al wat Hij wil. 2Alle weg des mensen is recht in zijn ogen; maar de HEERE weegt de harten. 3Gerechtigheid en recht te doen is bij den HEERE uitgelezener dan offer. 4Hoogheid der ogen, en trotsheid des harten, en de ploeging der goddelozen, zijn zonde. 5De gedachten des vlijtigen zijn alleen tot overschot; maar van een ieder, die haastig is, alleen tot gebrek. 6Te arbeiden om schatten met een valse tong, is een voortgedrevene ijdelheid dergenen, die den dood zoeken. 7De verwoesting der goddelozen zal hen doorsnijden, omdat zij weigeren recht te doen. 8De weg des mensen is gans verkeerd en vreemd; maar het werk des zuiveren is recht. 9Het is beter te wonen op een hoek van het dak, dan met een kijfachtige huisvrouw, en dat in een huis van gezelschap. 10De ziel des goddelozen begeert het kwaad; zijn naaste krijgt geen genade in zijn ogen. 11Als men den spotter straft, wordt de slechte wijs; en als men den wijze onderricht, neemt hij wetenschap aan. 12De rechtvaardige let verstandelijk op des goddelozen huis, als God de goddelozen in het kwaad stort. 13Die zijn oor stopt voor het geschrei des armen, die zal ook roepen, en niet verhoord worden. 14Een gift in het verborgene houdt den toorn onder, en een geschenk in den schoot de sterke grimmigheid. 15Het is den rechtvaardige een blijdschap recht te doen; maar voor de werkers der ongerechtigheid is het verschrikking. 16Een mens, die van den weg des verstands afdwaalt, zal in de gemeente der doden rusten. 17Die blijdschap liefheeft, die zal gebrek lijden; die wijn en olie liefheeft, zal niet rijk worden. 18De goddeloze is een rantsoen voor de rechtvaardigen, en de trouweloze voor de oprechten. 19Het is beter te wonen in een woest land, dan bij een zeer kijfachtige en toornige huisvrouw. 20In des wijzen woning is een gewenste schat, en olie; maar een zot mens verslindt zulks. 21Die rechtvaardigheid en weldadigheid najaagt, zal het leven, rechtvaardigheid en eer vinden. 22De wijze beklimt de stad der geweldigen, en werpt de sterkte huns vertrouwens neder. 23Die zijn mond en zijn tong bewaart, bewaart zijn ziel van benauwdheden. 24Die een hovaardig pocher is, zijn naam is spotter; hij gaat met hovaardige verbolgenheid te werk. 25De begeerte des luiaards zal hem doden, want zijn handen weigeren te werken. 26Den gansen dag begeert hij begeerlijke dingen; maar de rechtvaardige zal geven, en niet inhouden. 27Het offer der goddelozen is een gruwel; hoeveel te meer, als zij het met een schandelijk voornemen brengen! 28Een leugenachtig getuige zal vergaan; en een man, die hoort, zal spreken tot overwinning. 29Een goddeloos man sterkt zich in zijn aangezicht; maar de oprechte, die maakt zijn weg vast. 30Er is geen wijsheid, en er is geen verstand, en er is geen raad tegen den HEERE. 31Het paard wordt bereid tegen den dag des strijds; maar de overwinning is des HEEREN.
