Religion
Better is the industrious poor man than the rich man who lacks discretion and integrity; for though a man be poor, yet when he improves his little stock by honest labor, he shall not want, nor in the greater part of cases shall he need to beg, or to be added to the poor-roll.

Here´s what found about the "poor-roll".
A study of the Poor Roll in a Scottish Highland Parish, 1864-1915
By Peter Lawrie, ©1997
Abstract:
Based on the annually printed List of the Registered Poor (1868-1915), Minutes of the Parochial Board (1864-1904), Statutory Death Records (1855-1901) and CEBs (1851-91) for Kildonan information on 336 paupers are analysed. Paupers are classed as aged, infirm, sick, insane, widow(er)ed with children, orphans and others. An analysis of out-relief payments shows that they rose from barely enough for survival in 1870 to basic subsistence level by 1900. The attitude towards the able-bodied and use made of the Poorhouse and Asylum are examined

poor roll --> lista de necesitados
Como este es un refrán o proverbio es mejor traducir la intención que en este caso tiene que ver con asistencia publica o estar en la lista de los necesitados. En mi opinión el proverbio sugiere que el pobre que es honesto no estará en la lista de los necesitados.

ni será considerado un menesteroso/ni se le verá entre los menesterosos
Me parece que hay que usar un lenguaje más parecido al de un sermón religioso.
