Притчи 16
Библия, ревизирано издание
Господ и пътищата на човека
16 (A)Плановете на сърцето принадлежат на човека,
но отговорът на езика е от Господа.
2 (B)Всички пътища на човека са чисти в собствените му очи,
но Господ претегля духовете.
3 (C)Възлагай делата си на Господа
и ще се утвърдят твоите намерения.
4 (D)Господ е направил всяко нещо за Себе Си,
дори и нечестивия – за деня на злото.
5 (E)Мерзост е за Господа всеки, който е с горделиво сърце,
даже ръка с ръка да се съедини, той пак няма да остане ненаказан.
6 (F)С милост и вярност се отплаща за беззаконието
и чрез страх от Господа хората се отклоняват от злото.
7 Когато пътищата на човека са угодни на Господа,
Той примирява с него и неприятелите му.
8 (G)По-добре малко с правда,
отколкото големи доходи с неправда.
9 (H)Сърцето на човека начертава пътя му,
но Господ оправя стъпките му.
10 Присъдата в устните на царя е боговдъхновена;
устата му няма да сгрешат в съда.
11 (I)Вярната теглилка и везни са от Господа,
всички грамове в торбата са Негово дело.
12 (J)Да се върши беззаконие е мерзост за царете,
защото престолът се утвърждава с правда.
13 (K)Праведните устни са благоприятни на царете
и те обичат онзи, който говори право.
14 (L)Яростта на царя е вестител на смърт,
но мъдрият човек я укротява.
15 (M)В светлината от лицето на царя има живот
и неговото благоволение е като облак с пролетен дъжд.
16 (N)Колко по-желателно е придобиването на мъдрост, отколкото на злато!
И придобиването на разум е за предпочитане, отколкото на сребро.
17 Да се отклоняват от зло е път на праведните;
който пази пътя си, опазва душата си.
18 (O)Гордостта предшества погибелта,
а високомерието – падането.
19 По-добре някой да е със смирен дух между кротките,
отколкото да дели плячка с горделивите.
20 (P)Който внимава в словото, ще намери добро.
И който уповава на Господа, е блажѐн.
21 Който е с мъдро сърце, ще се нарече благоразумен;
и сладостта на устните умножава знание.
22 (Q)Разумът е извор на живот за притежателя му,
а глупостта на безумните е наказанието им.
23 (R)Сърцето на мъдрия вразумява устата му
и прибавя знание в устните му.
24 Благите думи са медена пита,
сладост на душата и здраве на костите.
25 (S)Има път, който се вижда прав на човека,
но краят му е пътища към смърт.
26 (T)Охотата на работника работи за него,
защото устата му го принуждават.
27 Лошият човек копае зло
и в устните му има сякаш пламнал огън.
28 (U)Опак човек сее раздори
и клюкарят разделя най-близки приятели.
29 (V)Насилникът мами ближния си
и го води в погрешен път;
30 затваря очите си, за да измисля извратени неща,
и прехапва устните си, за да постигне зло.
31 (W)Белите коси са венец на слава,
когато се намират по пътя на правдата.
32 (X)Който не се гневи бързо, е по-добър от храбрия,
и който владее духа си – от завоевател на град.
33 Жребият се хвърля в скута,
но решението чрез него е от Господа.
Proverbs 16
New International Version
16 To humans belong the plans of the heart,
but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.(A)
3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.(E)
6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;
through the fear of the Lord(J) evil is avoided.(K)
7 When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way,
he causes their enemies to make peace(L) with them.(M)
9 In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps.(P)
10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle,
and his mouth does not betray justice.(Q)
11 Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord;
all the weights in the bag are of his making.(R)
12 Kings detest wrongdoing,
for a throne is established through righteousness.(S)
13 Kings take pleasure in honest lips;
they value the one who speaks what is right.(T)
17 The highway of the upright avoids evil;
those who guard their ways preserve their lives.(AA)
19 Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed
than to share plunder with the proud.
20 Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,[a](AE)
and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.(AF)
22 Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent,(AH)
but folly brings punishment to fools.
26 The appetite of laborers works for them;
their hunger drives them on.
29 A violent person entices their neighbor
and leads them down a path that is not good.(AS)
30 Whoever winks(AT) with their eye is plotting perversity;
whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.
31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor;(AU)
it is attained in the way of righteousness.
32 Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.

Proverbs 16
King James Version
16 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.
3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4 The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
7 When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.
10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11 A just weight and balance are the Lord's: all the weights of the bag are his work.
12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15 In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.
Proverbs 16
New King James Version
Wisdom Is Better Than Gold
16 The (A)preparations[a] of the heart belong to man,
(B)But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own (C)eyes,
But the Lord weighs the spirits.
5 (G)Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
Though they join [d]forces, none will go unpunished.
6 (H)In mercy and truth
Atonement is provided for iniquity;
And (I)by the fear of the Lord one departs from evil.
7 When a man’s ways please the Lord,
He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 (J)Better is a little with righteousness,
Than vast revenues without justice.
10 Divination is on the lips of the king;
His mouth must not transgress in judgment.
11 (M)Honest weights and scales are the Lord’s;
All the weights in the bag are His [e]work.
12 It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness,
For (N)a throne is established by righteousness.
13 (O)Righteous lips are the delight of kings,
And they love him who speaks what is right.
14 As messengers of death is the king’s wrath,
But a wise man will (P)appease it.
15 In the light of the king’s face is life,
And his favor is like a (Q)cloud of the latter rain.
16 (R)How much better to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil;
He who keeps his way preserves his soul.
18 Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before [f]a fall.
19 Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly,
Than to divide the [g]spoil with the proud.
20 He who heeds the word wisely will find good,
And whoever (S)trusts in the Lord, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart will be called prudent,
And sweetness of the lips increases learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it.
But the correction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth,
And adds learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
25 There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of (T)death.
26 The person who labors, labors for himself,
For his hungry mouth drives (U)him on.
27 [h]An ungodly man digs up evil,
And it is on his lips like a burning (V)fire.
28 A perverse man sows strife,
And (W)a whisperer separates the best of friends.
29 A violent man entices his neighbor,
And leads him in a way that is not good.
30 He winks his eye to devise perverse things;
He [i]purses his lips and brings about evil.
31 (X)The silver-haired head is a crown of glory,
If it is found in the way of righteousness.
32 (Y)He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap,
But its every decision is from the Lord.
