Louis Segond 1910
1A wise son heareth the doctrine of his father: but he that is a scorner, beareth not when he is reproved.
1Un fils sage écoute l’instruction de son père, Mais le moqueur n’écoute pas la réprimande.
2Of the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things: but the soul of transgressors is wicked.
2Par le fruit de la bouche on jouit du bien; Mais ce que désirent les perfides, c’est la violence.
3He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his soul: but he that hath no guard on his speech shall meet with evils.
3Celui qui veille sur sa bouche garde son âme; Celui qui ouvre de grandes lèvres court à sa perte.
4The sluggard willeth and willeth not: but the soul of them that work, shall be made fat.
4L’âme du paresseux a des désirs qu’il ne peut satisfaire; Mais l’âme des hommes diligents sera rassasiée.
5The just shall hate a lying word: but the wicked confoundeth, and shall be confounded.
5Le juste hait les paroles mensongères; Le méchant se rend odieux et se couvre de honte.
6Justice keepeth the way of the innocent: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
6La justice garde celui dont la voie est intègre, Mais la méchanceté cause la ruine du pécheur.
7One is as it were rich, when he hath nothing: and another is as it were poor, when he hath great riches.
7Tel fait le riche et n’a rien du tout, Tel fait le pauvre et a de grands biens.
8The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but he that is poor beareth not reprehension.
8La richesse d’un homme sert de rançon pour sa vie, Mais le pauvre n’écoute pas la réprimande.
9The light of the just giveth joy: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
9La lumière des justes est joyeuse, Mais la lampe des méchants s’éteint.
10Among the proud there are always contentions: but they that do all things with counsel, are ruled by wisdom.
10C’est seulement par orgueil qu’on excite des querelles, Mais la sagesse est avec ceux qui écoutent les conseils.
11Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand shall increase.
11La richesse mal acquise diminue, Mais celui qui amasse peu à peu l’augmente.
12Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: desire when it cometh is a tree of life.
12Un espoir différé rend le cœur malade, Mais un désir accompli est un arbre de vie.
13Whosoever speaketh ill of any thing, bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the commandment, shall dwell in peace. Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy.
13Celui qui méprise la parole se perd, Mais celui qui craint le précepte est récompensé.
14The law of the wise is a fountain of life, that he may decline from the ruin of death.
14L’enseignement du sage est une source de vie, Pour détourner des pièges de la mort.
15Good instruction shall give grace: in the way of scorners is a deep pit.
15Une raison saine a pour fruit la grâce, Mais la voie des perfides est rude.
16The prudent mall doth all things with counsel: but he that is a fool, layeth open his folly.
16Tout homme prudent agit avec connaissance, Mais l’insensé fait étalage de folie.
17The messenger of the wicked shall fall into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
17Un envoyé méchant tombe dans le malheur, Mais un messager fidèle apporte la guérison.
18Poverty and shame to him that refuseth instruction: but he that yieldeth to reproof, shall be glorified.
18La pauvreté et la honte sont le partage de celui qui rejette la correction, Mais celui qui a égard à la réprimande est honoré.
19The desire that is accomplished, delighteth the soul: fools hate them that flee from evil things.
19Un désir accompli est doux à l’âme, Mais s’éloigner du mal fait horreur aux insensés.
20He that walketh with the wise, shall be wise: a friend of fools shall become like to them.
20Celui qui fréquente les sages devient sage, Mais celui qui se plaît avec les insensés s’en trouve mal.
21Evil pursueth sinners: and to the just good shall be repaid.
21Le malheur poursuit ceux qui pèchent, Mais le bonheur récompense les justes.
22The good man leaveth heirs, sons, and grandsons: and the substance of the sinner is kept for the just.
22L’homme de bien a pour héritiers les enfants de ses enfants, Mais les richesses du pécheur sont réservées pour le juste.
23Much food is in the tillage of fathers: but for others it is gathered with out judgment.
23Le champ que défriche le pauvre donne une nourriture abondante, Mais tel périt par défaut de justice.
24He that spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes.
24Celui qui ménage sa verge hait son fils, Mais celui qui l’aime cherche à le corriger.
25The just eateth and filleth his soul: but the belly of the wicked is never to be filled.
25Le juste mange et satisfait son appétit, Mais le ventre des méchants éprouve la disette.
