Lee ying. You are sure that the translations to English to Spanish are correctly translated. Because I could to see words that does not meaning anything in English and Spanish says other thing about it. I don't know anything about the proverb. But I can see the translation and I feel that it's not correct for example I want to suffice this sentence wrote for you.
A friend in need is a friend indeed: En la necesidad se conoce al verdadero amigo. I think that the literally translation is. A friend in need is a friend indeed- Un amigo es un verdadero amigo. I can't see the word that does the sentence to meet or to know ( Conocer). I don't know, I hope David or Rusty with most experience at English can help us with those biblical phrases. Sincerely yours.

Los proverbios a veces contienen ritmo o rima, y esos no se puede traducir palabra por palabra. Son frases que repetimos de persona a persona, y a veces hay variaciones. Escribí los proverbios como los conozco yo. Si los buscas en Internet, vas a ver que las versiones que escribí son muy conocidas.

En noruego tenemos un (cuasi-)proverbio que dice: "Los niños buenos no preguntan, y no reciben tampoco". Es mi favorito

A friend in need is a friend indeed Un amigo en necesidad es un amigo de verdad Pero una traducción literal de las palabras en un proverbio no te conviene porque eso no siempre comunica el significado de lo que quiere decir el proverbio.

Mi favorito está:
"El que anda entre sabios será sabio, pero el que se junta con neciossaldrá mal parado." (Proverbios 13:20, Reina-Valera 1995) "He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will suffer harm." (Proverbs 13:20, New American Standard) Reading things like this convince me of the beauty and elegance of the Spanish language!

The said Rusty before is true Lee ying. In sometimes the translations to English to Spanish not always are the same because there aren't the translation.
I agree with you. Rusty.
