| 箴言 | Proverbs |
|---|---|
| 1喜愛受教的人，必喜愛智慧；憎恨規勸的人，真是糊塗。 | 1He who loves discipline, loves knowledge; foolish is he who rejects correction. |
| 2善心的人，必得上主喜悅；心術邪惡的人，必受降罰。 | 2The good man wins the favor of Yahweh who condemns the one of evil schemes. |
| 3沒有人作惡而能穩立，惟有義人的根基永不動搖。 | 3No man is made secure by evil but nothing undermines the roots of the upright. |
| 4賢能的妻子，是她丈夫的冠冕；無恥的妻子，宛如丈夫骨中的腐蝕。 | 4A good wife is her husband's crown while the shameless woman is like a cancer in his bones. |
| 5義人思念公正，惡人計劃詭譎。 | 5The plans of the upright are honest and the plottings of the wicked deceitful. |
| 6惡人的言談，是流血的陷阱；義人的口舌，設法搭救他人。 | 6The words of the wicked are mortal snares but the virtuous refute and elude them. |
| 7惡人一旦傾覆，便不復存在；義人的家室，卻得以久存。 | 7The evildoers are thrown down and are no more; but the house of the virtuous will never crumble. |
| 8人憑自己的識見，獲得讚美；但心地邪僻的人，必受輕視。 | 8Everyone is praised in proportion to his prudence; while the corrupt of heart will be met with contempt. |
| 9一個自給自足的平民，比愛排場而缺食的人，更為可貴。 | 9Better to be a common man and have a servant than to feel oneself great and run short of bread. |
| 10義人珍惜禽獸的生命，惡人的心腸殘忍刻薄。 | 10The upright man looks after his animals but the wicked are heartless. |
| 11自耕其地的人，必得飽食；追求虛幻的人，實屬愚昧。 | 11He who cultivates the earth will have his fill of bread, while the fool chases after illusions. |
| 12邪惡的想望，是惡人的羅網；義人的根基，卻永不動搖。 | 12The desires of the wicked produce evil, but the roots of the virtuous produce fruit. |
| 13惡人失口，自尋苦惱；義人卻能幸免受累。 | 13The wicked man is entangled in his own lies, but the virtuous man will be saved from misfortune. |
| 14人必飽嘗自己口舌的果實，必按自己的行為獲得報應。 | 14Those who meditates on wisdom will attain all that is good; each one is rewarded according to the works of his hands. |
| 15愚昧的人，常以為自己的道路正直；但明智的人，卻常聽從勸告。 | 15The fool considers his way right while the wise man listens to advice. |
| 16愚昧的人，立時顯出自己的憤怒；機智的人，卻忍辱而不外露。 | 16The fool shows his annoyance immediately, but the discreet man overlooks an insult. |
| 17吐露真情，是彰顯正義；作假見證，是自欺欺人。 | 17The trustworthy witness leads to the truth, and the liar to confusion. |
| 18出言不慎，有如利刃傷人；智者的口，卻常療癒他人。 | 18The one who speaks thoughtlessly pierces like a sword; but the words of the wise bring healing. |
| 19講實話的唇舌，永垂不朽；說謊話的舌頭，瞬息即逝。 | 19Truthful words endure forever but lies, for only a moment. |
| 20圖謀惡事的，心懷欺詐；策劃和平的，必得喜樂， | 20Deceit dwells in the heart of the schemer, happiness in those who pursue peace. |
| 21義人常無往不利，惡人卻備受災殃。 | 21No misfortune will befall the virtuous but the wicked will have their fill of troubles. |
| 22欺詐的唇舌，為上主所深惡；行事誠實的，纔為他所中悅。 | 22Yahweh hates the lips of liars and loves those who speak the truth. |
| 23機智的人，使自己的才學深藏不露；心中愚昧的人，只會彰顯自己的愚蠢。 | 23The discreet man conceals his wisdom while fools make public their nonsense. |
| 24勤勞的手，必要掌權；懶慢的手，只有服役。 | 24The hardworking hand will rule; and the lazy will have to obey. |
| 25憂鬱使人心消沉，良言使人心快活。 | 25Intense grief depresses the heart while a friendly word makes it glad. |
| 26義人給自己的友伴指示道路，惡人的行動卻引人誤入歧途。 | 26The just man guides his neighbor while the way of the wicked leads them astray. |
| 27懶惰的人，無米為炊；勤勞的人，腰纏萬貫。 | 27The lazy hand will have no game to cook: being industrious is the secret of wealth. |
| 28正義的路，導向生命；邪惡的路，引人喪亡。 | 28Life is to be found on the path of virtue, the way of the wicked leads to death. |
