Proverbs 19
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips, and unwise. | Melior est pauper qui ambulat in simplicitate sua quam dives torquens labia sua, et insipiens. |
| 2 | Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble. | Ubi non est scientia animae, non est bonum, et qui festinus est pedibus offendet. |
| 3 | The folly of a man supplanteth his seeps: and he fretteth in his mind against God. | Stultitia hominis supplantat gressus eius, et contra Deum fervet animo suo. |
| 4 | Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart. | Divitiae addunt amicos plurimos; a paupere autem et hi quos habuit separantur. |
| 5 | A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. | Testis falsus non erit impunitus, et qui mendacia loquitur non effugiet. |
| 6 | Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts. | Multi colunt personam potentis, et amici sunt dona tribuentis. |
| 7 | The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing. | Fratres hominis pauperis oderunt eum; insuper et amici procul recesserunt ab eo. Qui tantum verba sectatur nihil habebit; |
| 8 | But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence shall find good things. | qui autem possessor est mentis diligit animam suam, et custos prudentiae inveniet bona. |
| 9 | A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish. | Falsus testis non erit impunitus, et qui loquitur mendacia peribit. |
| 10 | Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes. | Non decent stultum deliciae, nec servum dominari principibus. |
| 11 | The learning of a man is known by patience and his glory is to pass over wrongs. | Doctrina viri per patientiam noscitur, et gloria eius est iniqua praetergredi. |
| 12 | As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass. | Sicut fremitus leonis, ita et regis ira, et sicut ros super herbam, ita et hilaritas eius. |
| 13 | A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through. | Dolor patris filius stultus, et tecta iugiter perstillantia litigiosa mulier. |
| 14 | House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord. | Domus et divitiae dantur a parentibus; a Domino autem proprie uxor prudens. |
| 15 | Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger. | Pigredo immittit soporem, et anima dissoluta esuriet. |
| 16 | He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die. | Qui custodit mandatum custodit animam suam; qui autem negligit viam suam mortificabitur. |
| 17 | He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him. | Foeneratur Domino qui miseretur pauperis, et vicissitudinem suam reddet ei. |
| 18 | Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul. | Erudi filium tuum; ne desperes: ad interfectionem autem eius ne ponas animam tuam. |
| 19 | He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away he shall add another thing. | Qui impatiens est sustinebit damnum, et cum rapuerit, aliud apponet. |
| 20 | Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end. | Audi consilium, et suscipe disciplinam, ut sis sapiens in novissimis tuis. |
| 21 | There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm. | Multae cogitationes in corde viri; voluntas autem Domini permanebit. |
| 22 | A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man. | Homo indigens misericors est, et melior est pauper quam vir mendax. |
| 23 | The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in fulness without being visited with evil. | Timor Domini ad vitam, et in plenitudine commorabitur absque visitatione pessima. |
| 24 | The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth. | Abscondit piger manum suam sub ascella, nec ad os suum applicat eam. |
| 25 | The wicked man being; scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man he will understand discipline. | Pestilente flagellato stultus sapientior erit; si autem corripueris sapientem, intelliget disciplinam. |
| 26 | He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy. | Qui affligit patrem, et fugat matrem, ignominiosus est et infelix. |
| 27 | Cease not, O my son, to hear instruction, and be not ignorant of the words of knowledge. | Non cesses, fili, audire doctrinam, nec ignores sermones scientiae. |
| 28 | An unjust witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity. | Testis iniquus deridet iudicium, et os impiorum devorat iniquitatem. |
| 29 | Judgments are prepared for scorners: and striking hammers for the bodies of fools. | Parata sunt derisoribus iudicia, et mallei percutientes stultorum corporibus. |
