    You have a lot of friends when your purse is full, when you have financial difficulties, none of your friends want to see you because they think you might borrow their money.

en tiempos de prosperidad los amigos sobrarán, en tiempos de adversidad ni uno entre veinte.

en période de prospérité, les amis seront nombreux, en période d'adversité, pas un sur vingt.

समृद्धि के समय में मित्र बहुत होंगे, विपत्ति के समय में बीस में से एक नहीं होगा।

jólét idején sok barát lesz, csapások idején nem egy a húszból.

у часи процвітання друзів буде багато, у часи лиха не один із двадцяти.

خوشحالی کے وقت دوست کافی ہوں گے ، مصیبت کے وقت بیس میں ایک بھی نہیں۔
