德訓篇 |
Sirach | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 凡報仇的，必要遭遇到上主的報復，上主必要保留他的罪。 | 1 | He that seeketh to revenge himself, shall find vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins in remembrance. |
| 2 | 你要寬恕你近人的過錯；這樣，當你祈求時，你的罪惡也會得到赦免。 | 2 | Forgive thy neighbour if he hath hurl thee: and then shall thy sins be forgiven to thee when thou prayest. |
| 3 | 人若對人懷怒，怎能向上主求饒？ | 3 | Man to man reserveth anger, and doth he seek remedy of God? |
| 4 | 對自己同類的人沒有慈愛，怎能為自己的罪過求赦？ | 4 | He hath no mercy on a man like himself, and doth he entreat for his own sins? |
| 5 | 他既是血肉之人，竟然懷怒，而向天主求赦罪之恩，誰能赦免他的罪？ | 5 | He that is but flesh, nourisheth anger, and doth he ask forgiveness of God? who shall obtain pardon for his sins? |
| 6 | 你要記得最後的結局，而停止仇恨； | 6 | Remember thy last things, and let enmity cease: |
| 7 | 你要記得腐爛與死亡，而遵照誡命生活。 | 7 | For corruption and death hang over in his commandments. |
| 8 | 你要記得天主的誡命，不要向人發怒； | 8 | Remember the fear of God, and be not angry with thy neighbour. |
| 9 | 你要記得至高者的盟約，寬恕別人的過錯。 | 9 | Remember the covenant of the most High, and overlook the ignorance of thy neighbour. |
| 10 | 你要避免爭論，如此，你就可以減少罪過； | 10 | Refrain from strife, and thou shalt diminish thy sine: |
| 11 | 因為容易發怒的人，能激起爭論；犯罪的人，使朋友不安；他在安享和平的人中散佈讒言。 | 11 | For a passionate man kindleth strife, and a sinful man will trouble his friends, and bring in debate in the midst of them that are at peace. |
| 12 | 根據燃料，可知火勢如何；爭吵若是激烈，可見鬥爭的情形；人的怒氣，是因他的勢力而起；他的憤怒，是隨他的財富而升。 | 12 | For as the wood of the forest is, so the fire burneth: and as a man's strength is, so shall his anger be, and according to his riches he shall increase his anger. |
| 13 | 激烈的口角，容易惹起怒火；激烈的爭辯，容易流血；妄証的口舌，致人死命。 | 13 | A hasty contention kindleth a fire: and a hasty quarrel sheddeth blood: and a tongue that beareth witness bringeth death. |
| 14 | 你若在火星上吹氣，火就燃起；你若在火星上吐唾沫，火就熄滅；二者都來自口中。 | 14 | If thou blow the spark, it shall burn as a fire: and if thou spit upon it, it shall be quenched: both come out of the mouth. |
| 15 | 搬弄是非的，和一口兩舌的人，是可咒罵的，因為他們使許多安享和平的人喪亡。 | 15 | The whisperer and the double tongued is accursed: for he hath troubled many that were at peace. |
| 16 | 挑撥的舌頭擾亂許多人，使他們從這一國流亡到那一國； | 16 | The tongue of a third person hath disquieted many, and scattered them from nation to nation. |
| 17 | 傾覆了堅固的城池，推翻了貴族人的家庭； | 17 | It hath destroyed the strong cities of the rich, and hath overthrown the houses of great men. |
| 18 | 使民族的力量衰弱，使強盛的人民流亡。 | 18 | It hath cut in pieces the forces of people, and undone strong nations. |
| 19 | 挑撥的舌頭，從家庭中遂出了英勇的婦女，掠奪了她們勞力所得的利益。 | 19 | The tongue of a third person hath cast out valiant women, and deprived them of their labours. |
| 20 | 誰聽從這樣的舌頭，就不得安息；在他的家裡，再也沒有平安。 | 20 | He that hearkeneth to it, shall never have rest, neither shall he have a friend in whom he may repose. |
| 21 | 鞭打存青痕，舌擊碎人骨。 | 21 | The stroke of a whip maketh a blue mark: but the stroke of the tongue will break the bones. |
| 22 | 劍刺死的人雖多，還不如舌害死的人多。 | 22 | Many have fallen by the edge of the sword, but not so many as have perished by their own tongue. |
| 23 | 凡躲避了惡舌，沒有經過它的怒氣，沒有負過它的重軛，沒有受過它的鎖鏈捆綁的人，是有福的！ | 23 | Blessed is he that is defended from a wicked tongue, that hath not passed into the wrath thereof, and that hath not drawn the yoke thereof, and hath not been bound in its bands. |
| 24 | 因為，它的軛是鐵軛，它的鏈是銅鏈。 | 24 | For its yoke is a yoke of iron: and its bands are bands of brass. |
| 25 | 它造成的死亡，是悲慘的，陰府也比它好受。 | 25 | The death thereof is a most evil death: and hell is preferable to it. |
| 26 | 但是，它決不能控制虔敬的人，卻能把住不義之人的路徑，它的火焰不能焚燒虔敬的人。 | 26 | Its continuance shall not be for a long time, but it shall possess the ways of the unjust: and the just shall not be burnt with its flame. |
| 27 | 凡離棄上主的，就落在它手裡，它必燃燒他們，總不止熄；它如同被放出來的獅子，襲擊他們；又如豹子，撕裂他們。 | 27 | They that forsake God shall fall into it, and it shall burn in them, and shall not be quenched, and it shall be sent upon them as a lion, and as a leopard it shall tear them. |
| 28 | 請看，你要用荊棘圍住你的田園，不要聽從邪惡的脣舌；你要給你的口，安上門和鎖。 | 28 | Hedge in thy ears with thorns, hear not a wicked tongue, and make doors and bars to thy mouth. |
| 29 | 你要把你的金銀收藏起來。你要作一個天秤，來權衡你的言語；要為你的口，安上門和門閂。 | 29 | Melt down thy gold and silver, and make a balance for thy words, and a just bridle for thy mouth: |
| 30 | 你要小心，不要因口舌而失足，免得你在暗算你的敵人面前跌倒，怕你這一跌，成了不治的死症。 | 30 | And take heed lest thou slip with thy tongue, and fall in the sight of thy enemies who lie in wait for thee, and thy fall be incurable unto death. |
