Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
Louis Segond 1910
1He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is foolish.
1Celui qui aime la correction aime la science; Celui qui hait la réprimande est stupide.
2He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord: but he that trusteth in his own devices doth wickedly.
2L’homme de bien obtient la faveur de l’Éternel, Mais l’Éternel condamne celui qui est plein de malice.
3Men shall not be strengthened by wickedness: and the root of the just shall not be moved.
3L’homme ne s’affermit pas par la méchanceté, Mais la racine des justes ne sera point ébranlée.
4A diligent woman is a crown to her husband: and she that doth things worthy of confusion, is a rottenness in his bones.
4Une femme vertueuse est la couronne de son mari, Mais celle qui fait honte est comme la carie dans ses os.
5The thoughts of the just are judgments: and the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
5Les pensées des justes ne sont qu’équité; Les desseins des méchants ne sont que fraude.
6The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them.
6Les paroles des méchants sont des embûches pour verser le sang, Mais la bouche des hommes droits est une délivrance.
7Turn the wicked, and they shall not be: but the house of the just shall stand firm.
7Renversés, les méchants ne sont plus; Et la maison des justes reste debout.
8A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.
8Un homme est estimé en raison de son intelligence, Et celui qui a le cœur pervers est l’objet du mépris.
9Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.
9Mieux vaut être d’une condition humble et avoir un serviteur Que de faire le glorieux et de manquer de pain.
10The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel.
10Le juste prend soin de son bétail, Mais les entrailles des méchants sont cruelles.
11He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that pursueth idleness is very foolish. He that is delighted in passing his time over wine, leaveth a reproach in his strong holds.
11Celui qui cultive son champ est rassasié de pain, Mais celui qui poursuit des choses vaines est dépourvu de sens.
12The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper.
12Le méchant convoite ce que prennent les méchants, Mais la racine des justes donne du fruit.
13For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil mall: but the just shall escape out of distress.
13Il y a dans le péché des lèvres un piège pernicieux, Mais le juste se tire de la détresse.
14By the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things, and according to the works of his hands it shall be repaid him.
14Par le fruit de la bouche on est rassasié de biens, Et chacun reçoit selon l’œuvre de ses mains.
15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsels.
15La voie de l’insensé est droite à ses yeux, Mais celui qui écoute les conseils est sage.
16A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.
16L’insensé laisse voir à l’instant sa colère, Mais celui qui cache un outrage est un homme prudent.
17He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness.
17Celui qui dit la vérité proclame la justice, Et le faux témoin la tromperie.
18There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.
18Tel, qui parle légèrement, blesse comme un glaive; Mais la langue des sages apporte la guérison.
19The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue.
19La lèvre véridique est affermie pour toujours, Mais la langue fausse ne subsiste qu’un instant.
20Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace.
20La tromperie est dans le cœur de ceux qui méditent le mal, Mais la joie est pour ceux qui conseillent la paix.
21Whatsoever shall befall the just man. it shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
21Aucun malheur n’arrive au juste, Mais les méchants sont accablés de maux.
22Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal faithfully please him.
22Les lèvres fausses sont en horreur à l’Éternel, Mais ceux qui agissent avec vérité lui sont agréables.
23A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly.
23L’homme prudent cache sa science, Mais le cœur des insensés proclame la folie.
24The hand of the valiant shall bear rule: but that which is slothful, shall be under tribute.
24La main des diligents dominera, Mais la main lâche sera tributaire.
25Grief in the heart of a man shall bring him low, but with a good word he shall be made glad.
25L’inquiétude dans le cœur de l’homme l’abat, Mais une bonne parole le réjouit.
26He that neglecteth a loss for the sake of a friend, is just: but the way of the wicked shall deceive them.
26Le juste montre à son ami la bonne voie, Mais la voie des méchants les égare.
27The deceitful man shall not find gain: but the substance of a just man shall be precious gold.
27Le paresseux ne rôtit pas son gibier; Mais le précieux trésor d’un homme, c’est l’activité.
28In the path of justice is life: but the by-way leadeth to death.
28La vie est dans le sentier de la justice, La mort n’est pas dans le chemin qu’elle trace.
