| 德訓篇 | Sirach |
|---|---|
| 1愚人的希望，是虛幻而妄誕的；夢境使無知的人想入非非。 | 1The foolish are deceived by vain and false hopes; dreams give them wings. |
| 2迷信幻夢的人，與捕風捉影的人無異。 | 2To rely on dreams is like grasping a shadow or chasing the wind. |
| 3夢裏看到的，與照鏡所見的相同。 | 3What you see in dreams are only reflections: a person sees his own image. |
| 4污穢裏能有什麼潔淨呢？虛偽中能有什麼真實呢？ | 4What clean thing can come from what is unclean? What truth comes from what is false? |
| 5占卜、算命、測夢，都是虛妄的。 | 5Divinations, omens and dreams are empty like the fantasies of a woman in labor. |
| 6人心如臨產婦女的心，容易遭受幻想的襲擊；夢境若不是出於至高者，你就不用介意； | 6Unless they come as messengers of the Most High, do not pay attention to them. |
| 7因為，夢使許多人誤入迷途，他們寄望於夢，卻大失所望。 | 7For dreams have led many people astray. Those who hoped in them have fallen. |
| 8履行法律，並不賴虛偽；出自忠信人口的智言，必見諸實行。 | 8Not so the Law, which never fails but comes true. Wisdom from the truthful lips of God is the highest truth. |
| 9沒有受過考驗的人，知道什麼？旅行的人，知道的事情纔多；經驗多的人，富於思想；閱歷深的人，談吐明智。 | 9One who has traveled knows a great deal, and a man of wide experience will talk soundly. |
| 10未受過考驗的人，知道的少；但旅行的人，見聞很廣。 | 10A person who has not had trials knows very little. But the traveled man is competent in many ways. |
| 11沒有受過考驗的人，知道什麼？凡受過欺騙的人，必富於智巧。 | 11I have made many discoveries on my travels and understood more than I can express. |
| 12我旅行時，見過許多事情，有好多事，我雖然明白，卻不能用言語形容出來。 | 12I have often been in danger of death but have been saved thanks to my experience. |
| 13我多次遇到死亡的危險，但賴天主的寵佑，憑着昔日的經驗，我終能脫險獲救。 | 13The spirit of those who fear the Lord will live, for their hope is placed in the One who saves. |
| 14敬畏上主之人的精神必然常存，在上主回顧下，必蒙祝福。 | 14He who fears the Lord is in dread of nothing. He will not be cowardly for he is his hope. |
| 15因為他們的希望指向拯救他們的主，天主的眼常注視愛慕他的人。 | 15He who fears the Lord is a happy person. To whom does he turn? Who is his support? |
| 16敬畏上主的人，無所畏懼，無所恐怖，因為上主是他的希望。 | 16The eyes of the Lord are on those who love him. For them he is powerful protection, strong support, shelter against scorching wind and the midday sun. He is a safeguard against stumbling and assurance against a fall. |
| 17敬畏上主的人，他的靈魂是有福的！ | 17He lifts up the soul and gives a sparkle to the eyes; he gives healing, life and blessing. |
| 18他所仰望的是誰？誰又是他的扶助？ | 18An offering to God from stolen goods is a stained offering, the sacrifices of the wicked do not please God. |
| 19上主的眼常注視愛慕他的人，他是大能的保障，是強有力的後盾，是隔除熱氣的屏風，是遮蓋正午太陽的涼棚。 | 19The Most High takes no pleasure in the offering of the godless. It is not the number of victims that obtains pardon for sin. |
| 20是失足時的護衛，是跌倒時的救援；他鼓舞精神，開明眼目，賜與健康、生命和幸福。 | 20Offering to God from what belongs to the poor is like slaughtering a son in the presence of his father. |
| 21奉獻不義之財，乃是凌辱的祭品，惡人的供物，上主決不會悅納。 | 21Bread is life to the poor; he who takes it from them is a murderer. |
| 22上主只善待那些在真理和正義的路上，期望他的人。 | 22He who deprives others of a livelihood kills them, and whoever withdraws the salary of a worker is guilty of blood. |
| 23至高者不悅納不虔敬者的祭品，不垂顧惡人的獻儀，決不因為他們的祭品多，而寬恕他們的罪惡。 | 23If one builds and the other destroys, what do they gain besides trouble? |
| 24用窮人的財物來做祭品的人，就如在父親前，殺害他兒子的人。 | 24If one prays and the other curses, whose voice will the Master listen to? |
| 25貧乏人的糧食，是窮人的生命；奪取他們食糧的，就是流人血的罪犯。 | 25If a man is cleansed after touching a corpse and then touches it again, what good was there in his cleansing? |
| 26奪取別人由血汗賺來的食糧的，就是殺人的劊子手。 | 26If anyone fasts for his sins and then commits the same sins, who will hear his prayer? What value is there in his fasting? |
| 27剝奪傭工的勞資的，就是流人血的兇手。 | 27 |
| 28一人建築，一人拆毀，除勞苦外，為他們有什麼好處！ | 28 |
| 29一人祈福，一人詛咒，天主究竟要俯聽誰的呼聲？ | 29 |
| 30人摸了死屍就去沐浴，以後再去摸它，他的沐浴有什麼用處？ | 30 |
| 31守齋贖罪，而再去犯罪的人，也是如此：有誰聽他的祈求？他謙卑自下，又有什麼益處？ | 31 |
