Proverbs | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 你不要妒忌作惡的人，不要希求與他們共處； | 1 | Seek not to be like evil men, neither desire to be with them: |
| 2 | 因為他們的心靈，只圖謀不軌；他們的嘴唇，只講論是非。 | 2 | Because their mind studieth robberies, and their lips speak deceits. |
| 3 | 因著智慧，家庭得以興建；因著明智，家庭得以穩定。 | 3 | By wisdom the house shall be built, and by prudence it shall be strengthened. |
| 4 | 各種珍奇可愛的寶物，因著智識可儲藏滿室。 | 4 | By instruction the storerooms shall be filled with all precious and most beautiful wealth. |
| 5 | 智慧人勝於壯士，明智人強於勇士； | 5 | A wise man is strong: and a knowing man, stout and valiant. |
| 6 | 因為作戰須有智謀，勝利在於謀士眾多。 | 6 | Because war is managed by due ordering: and there shall be safety where there are many counsels. |
| 7 | 為愚昧的人，智慧太高妙；他在城門口，只好不開口。 | 7 | Wisdom is too high for a fool, in the gate he shall not open his mouth. |
| 8 | 籌劃作惡的人，可稱為陰險家。 | 8 | He that deviseth to do evils, shall be called a fool. |
| 9 | 愚人的計謀只是罪惡；狂妄的人為人所憎惡。 | 9 | The thought of a fool is sin: and the detracter is the abomination of men. |
| 10 | 你若萎靡不振，到災難的日子，必然氣竭力盡。 | 10 | If thou lose hope being weary in the day of distress, thy strength shall be diminished. |
| 11 | 被帶去受死的人，你應拯救他；他行將被殺戮的人，你要挽救他。 | 11 | Deliver them that are led to death: and those that are drawn to death forbear not to deliver. |
| 12 | 或許你要說：「看！我全不知道！」難道那權衡人心的能不明瞭？難道監察你心靈的能不知道？他必按每人的作為還報每人。 | 12 | If thou say: I have not strength enough: he that seeth into the heart, he understandeth, and nothing deceiveth the keeper of thy soul, end he shall render to a man according to his works. |
| 13 | 我兒，你要吃蜜，因為蜜好；蜂房的蜜，香甜可口。 | 13 | Fat honey, my son, because it is good, and the honeycomb most sweet to thy throat: |
| 14 | 對你的靈魂，智慧也是這樣：你找得了她，必有好前途；你所希望的，決不會落空。 | 14 | So also is the doctrine of wisdom to thy soul: which when thou hast found, thou shalt have hope in the end, and thy hope shall not perish. |
| 15 | 惡人，對義人的家，不要圖謀不軌；對他的住所，不要加以破壞； | 15 | Lie not in wait, nor seek after wickedness in the house of the just, nor spoil his rest. |
| 16 | 因為義人雖七次跌倒，仍然要起來；但是惡人一失足，必陷禍患中。 | 16 | For a just mall shall fall seven times and shall rise again: but the wicked shall fall down into evil. |
| 17 | 你的仇人跌倒，且不要高興；他若失足摔倒，且不要心喜； | 17 | When thy enemy shall fall, be not glad, and in his ruin let not thy heart rejoice: |
| 18 | 免得上主看見而不快，因而撤消對他的忿怒。 | 18 | Lest the Lord see, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. |
| 19 | 對作惡的人，你不要動怒；對乖戾之徒，也不必嫉妒； | 19 | Contend not with the wicked, nor seek to be like the ungodly: |
| 20 | 因為惡人終沒有好前途，惡人的燈必要熄滅。 | 20 | For evil men have no hope of things to come, and the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. |
| 21 | 我兒，上主和君王，你都要敬畏；對他們二者，皆不可觸怒； | 21 | My son, fear the Lord and the king: and have nothing to do with detracters. |
| 22 | 因為他們的懲罰可突然而至；他們的摧殘，有誰能知曉？ | 22 | For their destruction shall rise suddenly: and who knoweth the ruin of both? |
| 23 | 以下是智者的箴言：在判案時，顧及情面，決不公平。 | 23 | These things also to the wise: It is not good to have respect to persons in judgment. |
| 24 | 誰對惡人說：「你是正義的。」人民必罵他，百姓必恨他。 | 24 | They that say to the wicked man: Thou art just: shall be cursed by the people, and the tribes shall abhor them. |
| 25 | 按公道加罰的，必事事順遂；美好的祝福，必臨於其身。 | 25 | They that rebuke him, shall be praised: and a blessing shall come upon them. |
| 26 | 應答適宜的人，宛如與人接吻。 | 26 | He shall kiss the lips, who answereth right words. |
| 27 | 你要先在外經營好事業，在田間將工作準備停當，然後纔可建立你的家室。 | 27 | Prepare thy work without, and diligently till thy ground: that afterward thou mayst build thy house. |
| 28 | 不要輕易作證，反對你的近人；也不要以你的口舌，欺騙他人。 | 28 | Be not witness without cause against thy neighbour: and deceive not any man with thy lips. |
| 29 | 不可說：「人怎樣待我，我怎樣待人；照人之所行，我向他還報。」 | 29 | Say not: I will do to him as he hath done to me: I will render to every one according to his work. |
| 30 | 我走過懶惰人的田地，經過愚昧人的葡萄園： | 30 | I passed by the field of the slothful man, and by the vineyard of the foolish man: |
| 31 | 看到處是荊棘，滿地是蒺黎，石牆也倒了！ | 31 | And behold it was all filled with nettles, and thorns had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall was broken down. |
| 32 | 我看了，便心下自思；我見了，取得了教訓： | 32 | Which when I had seen, I laid it up in my heart, and by the example I received instruction. |
| 33 | 「再睡片刻，再假寐片刻，再抱臂躺臥片刻」— | 33 | Thou wilt sleep a little, said I, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to rest: |
| 34 | 這樣，貧窮就要如同竊賊，困乏也要如同武士，向你侵襲。 | 34 | And poverty shall come to thee as a runner, and beggary as an armed man. |
