| 箴言 | Proverbs |
|---|---|
| 1人若屢受譴責，仍然頑固，他必突然喪亡，無法挽救。 | 1He who resists correction will be broken suddenly and without remedy. |
| 2義人執政，人民喜慶；惡人專權，人民嘆息。 | 2When the virtuous rule, the people are happy, but they groan when the wicked are in power. |
| 3喜愛智慧的，使父親喜悅；尋花問柳的，必傾家蕩產。 | 3He who loves wisdom makes his father happy, but whoever maintains prostitutes will lose his wealth. |
| 4君王秉公行義，必將興邦；但若暴歛橫徵，必將喪邦。 | 4Through justice a king makes his country prosper; but the extortioner brings it to ruin. |
| 5對自己的友伴阿諛的人，是在他腳下張設羅網。 | 5The one who flatters his neighbor lays a snare at his feet. |
| 6作惡的人，滿路絆索；正義的人，載欣載奔。 | 6In the wicked man's sins lies a snare for himself, while the upright man runs on rejoicing. |
| 7義人關注窮人的案情，但是惡人卻毫不知情。 | 7The virtuous man is concerned about the problems of the poor; the evildoer, however, understands nothing. |
| 8輕狂的人，煽動城市作亂；明智的人，設法挽回狂瀾。 | 8Mockers create disturbances in the city but the wise turn troubles away. |
| 9智愚爭辯，或怒或笑，終無結果。 | 9When the wise man argues with the fool, whether he is annoyed or joking, he will get nowhere. |
| 10嗜殺的人，常憎恨正人君子；正直的人，卻關懷他的性命。 | 10The violent hate the blameless man but the virtuous seek out his presence. |
| 11愚人忿怒，必盡情發洩；明智的人，必自知抑制。 | 11The fool gives free rein to his rage; while the wise man restrains it. |
| 12作首長的，如聽信讒言，他的臣僕，必盡屬小人。 | 12When a ruler listens to false reports, all his ministers will be scoundrels. |
| 13窮人與壓迫者彼此相遇，二者皆由主獲得光明。 | 13The poor man and usurer have something in common: both receive the light of day from God. |
| 14君王如秉公審判窮人，他的寶座必永久穩立。 | 14The king who judges the poor with justice will affirm his throne forever. |
| 15杖責與懲戒，賜予人智慧；嬌縱的孩子，使母親受辱。 | 15Both the stick and rebuke bring wisdom, while the spoilt child brings shame to his mother. |
| 16惡人掌權，罪惡隨之增多；正義的人，必親見其崩潰。 | 16When the wicked rule, sin abounds, but the virtuous shall witness their downfall. |
| 17懲戒你的兒子，他必使你安心，令你心曠神怡。 | 17Correct your son and he will bring you rest; you will be happy in him. |
| 18神視缺乏時，人民必放縱；遵守法律的，纔蒙受祝福。 | 18Where prophets are lacking, the people get out of hand; happy is he who obeys the Law. |
| 19要糾正奴才，不宜用言語；即使他明白，他仍不服從。 | 19A slave is not corrected by words; even if he understands he will take no notice. |
| 20你是否見過信口開河的人？寄望於愚人勝於寄望於他。 | 20You see a man dying to speak? There is more hope for a fool. |
| 21對奴才自幼加以嬌養，他日後終必反僕為主。 | 21If you spoil your slave from childhood, he will end up a rebel. |
| 22易怒的人，極易引起紛爭；性急的人，必犯很多過錯。 | 22The hot-tempered man provokes disputes, his anger multiplies his sins. |
| 23驕傲自大，使人屈辱；虛心謙下，使人受榮。 | 23A man's pride results in his humiliation, but he who humbles himself will achieve honors. |
| 24誰與盜賊合夥，實是痛恨自己；他雖聽見咀咒，卻不敢發一言。 | 24He who shares with the thief harms himself; even you who kept silent when you should have denounced him. |
| 25對人畏懼，必陷入羈絆；信賴上主，必獲得安全。 | 25To be afraid of men is a trap; but whoever trusts in Yahweh will be safe. |
| 26許多人尋求王侯的慈惠，但每人的判決出自上主。 | 26Many seek a ruler's favor but each one's fate comes from God. |
| 27為非作歹的人，為義人所憎惡；行為正直的人，為惡人所憎惡。 | 27The upright man detests the wicked and the evildoer hates the honest man. |
