| 德訓篇 | Sirach |
|---|---|
| 1不要依恃不義的財物，也不要說：為我的生活已經夠了，因為在報復和災難時，這些都無用處。 | 1Set not thy heart upon unjust possessions, and say not: I have enough to live on: for it shall be of no service in the time of vengeance and darkness. |
| 2不要順從你的偏情和你的能力，去滿足你心中的慾望。 | 2Follow not in thy strength the desires of thy heart: |
| 3不要說：誰能宰制我？誰能因我的行為屈服我？因為上主必要報復。 | 3And say not: How mighty am I? and who shall bring me under for my deeds? for God will surely take revenge. |
| 4不要說：我犯了罪，遭受了什麼災殃？因為上主是富於含忍的報復者。 | 4Say not: I have sinned, and what harm hath befallen me? for the most High is a patient rewarder. |
| 5關於罪的赦免，應心懷恐懼之情，免得罪上加罪。 | 5Be not without fear about sin forgiven, and add not sin upon sin: |
| 6不要說：他的仁慈寬大，我縱有許多罪過，必蒙赦免； | 6And say not: The mercy of the Lord is great, he will have mercy on the multitude of my sins. |
| 7因為，憐憫和義怒皆繫於他，他的憤怒將在罪人身上得以平息。 | 7For mercy and wrath quickly come from him, and his wrath looketh upon sinners. |
| 8歸向上主，不要遲緩，不要一天一天地拖延； | 8Delay not to be converted to the Lord, and defer it not from day to day. |
| 9因為，上主的義怒忽然降來，他要在報復的日期，將你消滅。 | 9For his wrath shall come on a sudden, and in the time of vengeance he will destroy thee. |
| 10不要依靠不義之財，因為在義怒的日子，它們於你毫無用處。 | 10Be not anxious for goods unjustly gotten: for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity and revenge. |
| 11不可任意隨風簸揚；不可見路就走，有如一口兩舌的罪人。 | 11Winnow not with every wind, and go not into every way: for so is every sinner proved by a double tongue. |
| 12你當堅持你的主意；你的言語，應當前後一致。又當堅持你良心的真理和明智；如此，和平與正義的言語，便常與你相隨。 | 12Be steadfast in the way of the Lord, and in the truth of thy judgment, and in knowledge, and let the word of peace and justice keep with thee. |
| 13聽話要快，答覆要慢。 | 13Be meek to hear the word, that thou mayst understand: and return a true answer with wisdom. |
| 14你若有所知，就可答覆別人；否則，就應把手按在口上；這樣，你就不致說出冒失的話來，而自招羞辱。 | 14If thou have understanding, answer thy neighbour: but if not, let thy hand be upon thy mouth, lest thou be surprised in an unskillful word, and be confounded. |
| 15光榮與羞辱，全在乎言語；人的唇舌，能使人招致喪亡。 | 15Honour and glory is in the word of the wise, but the tongue of the fool is his ruin. |
| 16不要讓人說你是誹謗者，也不要用你的唇舌陷害人； | 16Be not called a whisperer, and be not taken in thy tongue, and confounded. |
| 17因為，做盜賊的，必受羞辱；一口兩舌的人，也必受極嚴厲的責斥。讒言者所得的，是憎嫌、仇視和恥辱。 | 17For confusion and repentance is upon a thief, and an evil mark of disgrace upon the double tongued, but to the whisperer hatred, and enmity, and reproach. |
| 18大小事都不要疏忽；事無論大小，都要一律做得適當。 | 18Justify alike the small and the great. |
