| 德訓篇 | Sirach |
|---|---|
| 1有賢妻的丈夫，是有福的！他的壽數必要增加一倍。 | 1Happy the husband of a good wife, the number of his days will be doubled. |
| 2有才能的婦人，是丈夫的喜樂，使他在平安中終其天年。 | 2A woman of character is her husband's joy, he will live in peace all the years of his life. |
| 3有賢婦為妻，是一種福份；但是，只有敬畏上主的人，因自己的善行，纔能得到她。 | 3A good wife is the best of gifts, reserved for those who fear the Lord; |
| 4她不論是富是貧，心神總是快樂，時常面帶笑容。 | 4rich or poor, he will have a serene heart and a happy face. |
| 5有三件事，我心中恐懼，對第四件事，我更害怕，那就是： | 5Three things disturb me and a fourth frightens me: neighborhood gossip, a rioting mob, a false accusation, all these are worse than death. |
| 6市民的控告，暴徒的集會， | 6But the woman jealous of another woman brings heartbreak, her tongue lashes out at everyone. |
| 7誣妄的誹謗：這一切比死亡更為不幸； | 7A bad wife is like a badly fixed yoke; taking her is like grasping a scorpion. |
| 8但是，娭妒別的婦女的女人，令人心痛悲傷； | 8A drunken wife causes scandal; her disgrace will not remain hidden. |
| 9她向眾人傳話的舌頭，是一條鞭子。 | 9A licentious woman is noticed by her secretive looks and recognized by her lively eyes. |
| 10惡婦有如擺動的牛軛，誰要管治她，無異是用手去捉蠍子。 | 10Keep a firm eye on a defiant daughter, so that she may not take advantage of some occasion. |
| 11好醉酒的婦女，是大怒的原因；她的恥辱和醜態，不能隱藏。 | 11Guard against the provocative woman and do not be surprised if she wishes to drag you into disgrace. |
| 12眼波流動，是婦女淫蕩的表示；從她的眉毛，可以認出。 | 12She opens her mouth like a thirsty traveler to drink any water coming her way; she sits by any pole and opens her quiver to every arrow. |
| 13對無恥的女兒，你應嚴加管束，怕她有機可乘，就放縱起來。 | 13A wife's grace gladdens her husband and her prudence refreshes his body. |
| 14你要留心，不要順從無恥的眼睛；否則，她若冒犯你，你就不用驚奇。 | 14A wife who knows how to be silent is a gift from the Lord; the well-trained wife is invaluable. |
| 15就如渴了的旅客，一到了水旁，不管遇到的是什麼水，就張口去喝；同樣，淫婦坐在任何木樁前，向射來的箭，張開箭袋，直到她疲乏為止。 | 15A modest wife is a favor among favors; the chaste wife is priceless. |
| 16勤謹婦女的溫柔，使自己的丈夫歡樂；她的明智，使丈夫的骨骼豐滿。 | 16Like the sun rising over the mountains of the Lord, such is the enchantment of a good wife in a well-kept house. |
| 17沉默寡言而明智的婦女，是上主的恩賜。 | 17Like the light which shines from the sacred lampstand, such is a beautiful face in a well-shaped body. |
| 18受過好教養的人，是無價之寶。 | 18Like pillars of gold on a silver base, such are beautiful legs on sturdy feet. |
| 19聖潔而知恥的婦女，乃無上的恩賜。 | 19There are two things which grieve me and a third which makes me angry: a warrior who suffers want; intelligent men who are treated contemptuously; a man who turns from virtue to sin. The Lord singles this man out to strike him down. |
| 20貞潔的靈魂，實尊貴無比。 | 20The merchant can barely avoid greed; the shopkeeper cannot remain sinless. |
| 21在秩序井然的家庭裏，賢婦的美麗，有如在上主的至高之天，上升的太陽； | 21 |
| 22她那健康身材上所襯托的美貌，有如神聖燈台上發光的燈； | 22 |
| 23她那雙在結實腳跟上的美腿，有如銀座上的金柱。 | 23 |
| 24聖婦心裏的天主誡命，有如堅固磐石上的永久基礎。 | 24 |
| 25有兩件事，我心中憂傷，而對第三件事，我更憤怒，那就是： | 25 |
| 26戰士為窮苦所困，明智人被人輕視， | 26 |
| 27離棄正義而偏向罪惡的人，上主為他準備了刀劍。 | 27 |
| 28有兩件事，依我看來，又難又危險，那就是：商人很難不犯罪，店員難免不失言。 | 28 |
