| 箴言 | Proverbs |
|---|---|
| 1溫和的回答，平息忿怒；激昂的言語，使人動怒。 | 1A kind answer soothes anger; while a cutting word increases wrath. |
| 2智慧者的舌，廣傳智慧；愚昧人的口，吐露愚昧。 | 2The tongue of the wise speaks knowledge, but the mouth of fools spreads stupidity. |
| 3上主的眼目，處處都在；善人和惡人，他都監視。 | 3The eyes of Yahweh are everywhere, watching the good and the evil. |
| 4撫慰的言辭，有如生命樹；刻薄的言語，能刺傷人心。 | 4The pacifying tongue is a tree of life, while the viper's tongue destroys the heart. |
| 5愚蠢的人，輕視父親的管教；遵守規勸的，為人必精明。 | 5Paternal correction is scorned by the fool, but the one who listens shows discretion. |
| 6在義人家裏，財產豐富；惡人的收入，必遭毀滅。 | 6Abundance resides in the house of the virtuous, but disgrace descends on the profits of the wicked. |
| 7智慧人的唇，散播智識；愚昧人的心，實不可靠。 | 7Wise men's lips sow knowledge whereas the fool's thoughts are not safe. |
| 8上主厭惡惡人的祭獻，卻喜悅正直人的祈禱。 | 8Yahweh detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but listens to the prayer of the honest man. |
| 9上主厭惡惡人的道路，卻喜愛追求正義的人。 | 9Yahweh abhors the conduct of the wicked but loves him who seeks virtue. |
| 10離棄正道的，必遭嚴罰；憎恨規勸的，只有死亡。 | 10Correct severely him who strays from the way; whoever hates being rebuked will die. |
| 11陰府和冥域，都明擺在上主面前，何況世人的心懷！ | 11Yahweh sees into hell and the abyss; how much more into the hearts of the sons of men! |
| 12輕狂者不愛受人指責，也不願與智慧人往來。 | 12The mocker does not like being reprimanded; he does not go to the wise. |
| 13心中愉快，使面容煥發，心中悲傷，精神即頹喪。 | 13A glad heart brightens the face, a sad one weighs down the spirit. |
| 14明達人的心，尋求智識；愚昧人的口，飽食昏愚。 | 14A discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on stupidity. |
| 15心情憂傷的，日日困坐愁城；心胸暢快的，時時如享喜宴。 | 15Every day is evil to the afflicted one; while the happy heart is always feasting. |
| 16少有財寶而敬畏上主，勝於富有財寶而諸多煩惱。 | 16Better to have little but fear the Lord than to have a fortune accompanied by anxiety. |
| 17有情吃蔬菜，勝於無情食肥牛。 | 17Better to have vegetables where there is love than to have a fattened ox with nothing but hatred. |
| 18易怒的人，常引起爭端；含忍的人，卻平息爭論。 | 18The hotheaded man provokes disputes, while the one slow to anger reconciles differences. |
| 19懶惰人的道路，有如荊棘籬笆；正直人的行徑，卻是康莊大道。 | 19The way of the lazy man is strewn with thorns, but the path of hard workers is a spacious road. |
| 20智慧的兒子，是父親的喜樂；只有愚昧人，輕視自己的母親。 | 20The wise son is his father's joy, the foolish man despises his mother. |
| 21無知的人，以愚昧為樂；明智的人，卻直道而行。 | 21Foolishness appeals to the man with no sense but the discerning man goes on his way. |
| 22缺乏考慮，計劃必要失敗；謀士眾多，策略方克有成。 | 22Plans fall through for lack of deliberation; a multitude of counselors ensures success. |
| 23應對得當，自覺快慰；言語適時，何其舒暢！ | 23Happy is he who knows how to answer. Welcome indeed is the apt word! |
| 24生命之路使明智人向上，為此他能避免向下的陰府。 | 24To the discerning man, the way of life leads upward; he will be saved from the place of darkness below. |
| 25上主將拆毀驕傲人的房屋，卻要堅定寡婦的地界。 | 25Yahweh tears down the house of the proud, but he strengthens the widow's boundaries. |
| 26邪惡的陰謀，為上主所憎惡；溫良的言語，卻為他所喜悅。 | 26Yahweh detests corrupt designs but words of goodness are pleasing to him. |
| 27貪求財貨的，困擾自己的家庭；憎惡饋贈的，生活必能安定。 | 27He who craves dishonest gain brings trouble on his house; he who accepts no tempting bribes will live. |
| 28義人的心，只默思善事；惡人的口，只吐露惡語。 | 28The man of upright heart thinks before he speaks, the mouth of the wicked pours out evil. |
| 29上主遠離惡人，卻俯聽義人的祈禱。 | 29Yahweh stays far away from the wicked but hears the prayer of the virtuous. |
| 30晶瑩的目光，使人心曠神怡；美好的訊息，使人筋骨壯健。 | 30A kind look delights the heart, good news revives one's strength. |
| 31喜聽有益生命勸戒的人，必得列於智慧人的中間。 | 31The ear which listens to helpful correction is found among the wise. |
| 32避免教導的，是作賤自己；聽從規勸的，必獲得機智。 | 32He who ignores correction despises himself, he who heeds the reprimand acquires discernment. |
| 33敬畏上主，是智慧的導師；謙卑自下，是榮耀的先聲。 | 33The fear of Yahweh is a school of wisdom; humility precedes praise. |
