| 德訓篇 | Sirach |
|---|---|
| 1許多人為了財利犯罪；圖謀發財的，必轉眼不顧正義。 | 1Through poverty many have sinned: and he that seeketh to be enriched, turneth away his eye. |
| 2像木橛插在兩塊石頭之間，罪惡亦鑽進買賣之中。 | 2As a stake sticketh fast in the midst of the joining of stones, so also in the midst of selling and buying, sin shall stick fast. |
| 3但罪惡與犯罪的人，都要同歸於盡。 | 3Sin shall be destroyed with the sinner. |
| 4你若不用心堅持敬畏上主，你的家庭，必要迅速破落。 | 4Unless thou hold thyself diligently in the fear of the Lord, thy house shall quickly be overthrown. |
| 5篩篩子，總留下一些渣滓；人的言談，也總有一些不乾不淨。 | 5As when one sifteth with a sieve, the dust will remain: so will the perplexity of a man in his thoughts. |
| 6爐火試煉陶人的陶器，言談試驗人的人格。 | 6The furnace trieth the potter's vessels, and the trial of affliction just men. |
| 7一棵樹的栽培，可由它所結的果實看出；同樣，一個人的心意，可從他思想後所說的話看到。 | 7Be the dressing of a tree sheweth the fruit thereof, so a word out of the thought of the heart of man. |
| 8在人未發言以前，不要讚美他，因為人的好壞，從言談中纔可見到。 | 8Praise not a man before he speaketh, for this is the trial of men. |
| 9如果你追求正義，你必能獲得，披戴她有如光榮的禮服；同她一起居住，她要永遠保護你，在審判之日，你就有了依靠。 | 9If thou followest justice, thou shalt obtain her: and shalt put her on as a long robe of honour, and thou shalt dwell with her: and she shall protect thee for ever, and in the day of acknowledgment thou shalt find a strong foundation. |
| 10鳥獸與同類相聚，真理也必歸於實行真理的人。 | 10Birds resort unto their like: so truth will return to them that practise her. |
| 11獅子時常伏擊獵物，罪惡也同樣暗算作惡的人。 | 11The lion always lieth in wait for prey: so do sins for them that work iniquities. |
| 12虔敬人的言論，常是智慧的；愚人的變化，好以月亮。 | 12A holy man continueth in wisdom as the sun: but a fool is changed as the moon. |
| 13往愚人中間去，要看時間；往有思想的人那裏，卻可常去。 | 13In the midst of the unwise keep in the word till its time: but be continually among men that think. |
| 14愚人的談論，令人生厭；他們在罪惡的放蕩中，纔有歡笑。 | 14The discourse of sinners is hateful, and their laughter is at the pleasures of sin. |
| 15好發誓的人所說的話，使人毛髮悚然；他的爭辯，令人塞耳不聞。 | 15The speech that sweareth much shall make the hair of the head stand upright: and its irreverence shall make one stop his ears. |
| 16驕傲人爭鬥，必發生流血事件；他們的辱罵，駭人聽聞。 | 16Is the quarrels of the proud is the shedding of blood: and their cursing is a grievous hearing. |
| 17誰洩漏朋友的秘密，就失了信任，他再不會找到一個知心的朋友。 | 17He that discloseth the secret of a friend loseth his credit, and shall never find a friend to his mind. |
| 18你應愛你的朋友，對他要忠信， | 18Love thy neighbour, and be joined to him with fidelity. |
| 19但若你洩漏了他的秘密，就不必再追隨他了。 | 19But if thou discover his secrets, follow no more after him. |
| 20誰失掉近人的友誼，就如喪失了自己的產業。 | 20For as a man that destroyeth his friend, so also is he that destroyeth the friendship of his neighbour. |
| 21你拋棄了的朋友，正如從你手中放走的飛鳥，莫想他再回來。 | 21And as one that letteth a bird go out of his hand, so hast thou let thy neighbour go, and thou shalt not get him again. |
| 22不要追趕他，因為他已遠去，他已逃走，像一隻脫了羅網的羚羊一樣；因為他的心已受了創傷， | 22Follow after him no more, for he is gone afar off, he is fled, as a roe escaped out of the snare: because his soul is wounded. |
| 23你再不能和他交結。有了傷痕，還可以包紮，辱罵之後，還可以言歸好； | 23Thou canst no more bind him up. And of a curse there is reconciliation: |
| 24但是，若洩漏了朋友的秘密，不幸的心靈就沒有希望了。 | 24But to disclose the secrets of a friend, leaveth no hope to an unhappy soul. |
| 25以目示意而作惡的人，逃不了災禍。 | 25He that winketh with the eye forgeth wicked things, and no man will cast him off: |
| 26在你面前，他會口甜如蜜，欽佩你的言辭；但以後卻要改口，攻擊你的言論。 | 26In the sight of thy eyes he will sweeten his mouth, and will admire thy words: but at the last he will writhe his mouth, and on thy words he will lay a stumblingblock. |
| 27我憎恨的事很多，但都不如他，連上主也要憎恨他。 | 27I have hated many things, but not like him, and the Lord will hate him. |
| 28那往上扔石頭的，石頭反而砸在他的頭上；那陰險打擊人的，自己反而受傷。 | 28If one cast a stone on high, it will fall upon his own head: and the deceitful stroke will wound the deceitful. |
| 29挖掘陷阱的，自己反而跌在裏面；給人放絆腳石的，自己反被絆倒；架設羅網的，自己反被捉捕； | 29He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that setteth a stone for his neighbour, shall stumble upon it: and he that layeth a snare for another, shall perish in it. |
| 30作惡造孽的，自己反受其累，他還不知道禍患從何而來。 | 30A mischievous counsel shall be rolled back upon the author, and he shall not know from whence it cometh to him. |
| 31譏笑責斥，是驕傲人的表現，懲罰卻像埋伏的獅子在等候他。 | 31Mockery and reproach are of the proud, and vengeance as a lion shall lie in wait for him. |
| 32見虔敬的人跌倒，而喜樂的人，必要陷於羅網，並且在死以前，備受痛苦。 | 32They shall perish in a snare that are delighted with the fall of the just: and sorrow shall consume them before they die. |
| 33憤恨與生氣，二者都是可憎恨的，但罪人卻堅持不放。 | 33Anger and fury are both of them abominable, and the sinful man shall be subject to them. |
