| 箴言 | Proverbs |
|---|---|
| 1不要為明日自誇，因為你不知今天能發生什麼。 | 1Do not feel confident about tomorrow since you do not know how today will end. |
| 2只應讓人讚美你，你不應開口自誇；讚你的該是他人，不該是你的唇舌。 | 2Let another praise you but not your own mouth; a stranger but not your own lips. |
| 3石頭重，沙礫沉，愚人的忿怒，比二者都重。 | 3Heavy the stone and weighty the sand but the fool's anger outweighs both. |
| 4憤怒固然殘酷，暴怒更是猛烈；可是面對妒恨，有誰能夠抵受？ | 4Wrath is cruel and anger, impulsive but who can withstand jealousy? |
| 5公開的責斥，勝於暗中的溺愛。 | 5Better an honest rebuke than false affection. |
| 6友人的抨擊是忠誠，仇人的擁吻是欺騙。 | 6Worthy of trust is the friend who speaks honestly; the enemy is he who multiplies caresses. |
| 7人若吃飽了，蜂蜜也厭惡；若肚子饑餓，苦物也甘甜。 | 7The full mouth looks down on honey, the hungry one finds any bitter thing sweet. |
| 8離家飄泊的遊子，有如無巢可歸的雀鳥。 | 8Like a bird far from its nest, so is the one who wanders from his own place. |
| 9香油和香料，能暢快人心；朋友的勸勉，能撫慰人靈。 | 9Oil and perfume gladden the heart; so too does the sweetness of friendship comfort the soul. |
| 10你的知心朋友，你父親的至交，你切不可離棄；在你憂患的時日，不要進兄弟的家。靠近的鄰舍，勝於遠地的兄弟。 | 10Never desert your friend or your father's friend; do not hasten to your brother's house when troubles strike: better a friend nearby than a brother far away. |
| 11我兒，作個智慧人，使我心高興，好叫我回答笑罵我的人。 | 11Learn to be wise, my son, and make me happy so that I can reply to those who insult me. |
| 12精明人遇見災禍，即行隱避；無知者反向前走，自招損害。 | 12The discerning man foresees danger and takes cover, but fools keep going, to their own loss. |
| 13誰為外方人作保，拿出他的衣服；誰為異族人作保，以他本人作質。 | 13Get rid of his clothes since he has gone surety for a stranger, seize him for the benefit of those unknown. |
| 14清晨向人高聲祝福，就等於向他人咀咒。 | 14If he, at dawn, blesses his neighbor in a loud voice, it shall be interpreted as a curse. |
| 15豪雨的時日，滴漏不已：好吵的女人，也是如此； | 15The constant dripping of a gutter on a rainy day and a nagging woman have something in common. |
| 16誰願意攔阻她，無異攔阻狂風，又好似右手抓油。 | 16Stopping her is like stopping the wind and grasping oil in one's hand. |
| 17朋友互相砥礪，有如以鐵銼鐵。 | 17Iron is sharpened with iron, contact with a neighbor sharpens a man's wit. |
| 18看守無花果樹的，必食其果；護守自己主人的，必受器重。 | 18He who tends the fig tree eats its fruit, he who looks after his master will be honored. |
| 19人心不同，猶如其面。 | 19As the face is reflected in water, so man finds himself in his own heart. |
| 20陰府如冥域，總填不滿；世人的眼睛，從不滿足。 | 20Death and hell are never satisfied; so, also, the eyes of men. |
| 21鍋煉銀，爐煉金，諂媚煉人心。 | 21A crucible for silver, a furnace for gold; you will know a man by his reputation. |
| 22你盡可在臼中將愚人舂碎，但他的昏愚卻永不能剷除。 | 22Even though you grind the fool in a mortar, you will not rid him of his stupidity. |
| 23對你羊群的情況，應如注意；對你的家畜，應常留心照料； | 23Know well the state of your herd and tend to your flock |
| 24因為錢財並不能永存，寶藏也不能永留萬代。 | 24because wealth does not last forever and riches are not handed down from generation to generation. |
| 25割去了乾草，青草又叢生；山間的野草，也收集起來； | 25Once the pasture is mowed and the aftergrowth appears and the hay is gathered in from the hills, |
| 26那時羔羊供你衣料，山羊供你地價， | 26you should have lambs to clothe you and goats to pay for your fields, |
| 27羊奶足以養你，維持你的家庭，養活你的婢女。 | 27sufficient goats' milk to feed you, to sustain your household and provide for your serving girls. |
