| 箴言 | Proverbs |
|---|---|
| 1惡人無人追蹤，仍然竄逃；義人安然自得，有如雄獅。 | 1The wicked man runs away even when no one is after him but the virtuous man feels as safe as a lion. |
| 2由於國家的罪，領袖時有更迭；惟賴明哲之士，邦國方能久存。 | 2A country, for its sins, has many rulers; but with one wise ruler there is stability. |
| 3欺壓弱小的惡霸，有如沖沒穀糧的暴雨。 | 3The evildoer oppressing the poor is like destructive floods which leave no food. |
| 4違法的人，稱揚敗類；守法的人，與之為敵。 | 4Those who foresake the Law applaud evil; those faithful to the Law fight evil. |
| 5作惡的人，不明瞭正義；尋求上主的，卻全洞識。 | 5The wicked have no understanding of justice but those who seek Yahweh understand all. |
| 6為人正直的窮人，勝於行為邪僻的富人。 | 6Better the poor but honest life than devious living, with riches. |
| 7遵守法律的，是智慧之子；交結蕩子的，是取辱己父。 | 7A clever man keeps the Law, while he who associates with scoundrels brings shame to his father. |
| 8誰放貸取利增加己產，是為憐恤貧乏者積蓄。 | 8He who adds to his wealth by usury and greed amasses it for another who has compassion on the poor. |
| 9對於法律，人若充耳不聞，他的祈禱，也為上主所惡。 | 9If anyone turns a deaf ear to the Law, even his prayer is contaminated by sin. |
| 10勾引正直的人走上邪路的，必落在自己所掘的坑內；但正直的人仍能繼承幸福。 | 10He who leads the virtuous astray will fall into his own trap. The upright will inherit happiness. |
| 11富貴的人，自認為有智慧，聰明的窮人一眼即看穿。 | 11The rich man thinks himself wise while the poor but sensible man knows how to show him up. |
| 12義人獲勝，群情歡騰；惡霸當道，人人走避。 | 12When the virtuous triumph, there is great feasting, but when the wicked dominate, everybody hides. |
| 13文過飾非的，必不會順利；認錯悔改的，將蒙受憐憫。 | 13Whoever conceals his faults will not prosper, but he who confesses and renounces them will be shown mercy. |
| 14常戒慎的人，必蒙祝福；心硬如鐵者，必遭災禍。 | 14Happy the one who always lives in the fear of God; he who hardens his heart will fall on disaster. |
| 15暴君欺凌貧窮弱小，有如咆哮怒獅，饑餓野熊。 | 15A roaring lion, a hungry bear, such is the bad leader of a poor people. |
| 16無知的昏君，必橫行霸道；憎恨貪婪的，將延年益壽。 | 16The ruler lacking intelligence multiplies oppression; but he who abhors greed will endure. |
| 17身負血債者，雖逃至死地，也無人搭救。 | 17The man wanted for murder will be on the run until death. Let him go! |
| 18行走正路的，必安然無恙；愛走曲徑的，必墮入陷阱。 | 18He who goes his way honestly will be saved, he who vacillates between two ways will fall in one of them. |
| 19自耕其地的，必常得飽食；追求虛幻的，必飽嘗貧苦。 | 19He who tends his land will have an abundance of bread, while he who chases illusions will have his fill of misery. |
| 20忠誠篤實的人，將滿渥福祉；急於致富的人，將難免無過。 | 20The trustworthy man will be heaped with blessings, but he who is preoccupied with getting rich will not be guiltless. |
| 21顧及人的情面，原非一件好事；但為一片麵包，人卻陷身不義。 | 21It is not good to show partiality but a man will do wrong for a mouthful of bread. |
| 22眼睛貪婪的人，匆匆急於致富；豈知貧乏窮困，即將臨他身上！ | 22The greedy-eyed man is on the lookout for wealth not knowing that misfortune will befall him. |
| 23責斥他人的，終比奉承的，更得人愛戴。 | 23He who reproves another will eventually enjoy more favor than the flatterer. |
| 24向自己父母行竊，卻說「這並不是罪」，與強盜是同路人。 | 24He who steals from his father and mother saying, "It's not a sin," is just like a criminal. |
| 25貪得無厭的人，必引起爭端；信賴上主的人，必心安理得。 | 25The greedy man brings about trouble; but he who trusts in Yahweh will be filled with good things. |
| 26自恃聰明的，實是糊塗人；行事智慧的，必安全無恙。 | 26He who trusts in himself is just like a fool; while he who walks wisely will be saved. |
| 27樂施濟貧的，決不會匱乏；視若無睹的，必飽受咒罵。 | 27He who gives to the poor will not be in need; but he who turns a blind eye to them will have his fill of disgrace. |
| 28惡霸當道，人人走避；惡霸滅亡，義人興旺。 | 28When the wicked triumph, everybody hides; but when they perish, the virtuous multiply. |
