箴言 Proverbs
1喜愛受教的人,必喜愛智慧;憎恨規勸的人,真是糊塗。 1He who loves correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.
2善心的人,必得上主喜悅;心術邪惡的人,必受降罰。 2The good man wins favor from the LORD, but the schemer is condemned by him.
3沒有人作惡而能穩立,惟有義人的根基永不動搖。 3No man is built up by wickedness, but the root of the just will never be disturbed.
4賢能的妻子,是她丈夫的冠冕;無恥的妻子,宛如丈夫骨中的腐蝕。 4A worthy wife is the crown of her husband, but a disgraceful one is like rot in his bones.
5義人思念公正,惡人計劃詭譎。 5The plans of the just are legitimate; the designs of the wicked are deceitful.
6惡人的言談,是流血的陷阱;義人的口舌,設法搭救他人。 6The words of the wicked are a deadly ambush, but the speech of the upright saves them.
7惡人一旦傾覆,便不復存在;義人的家室,卻得以久存。 7The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the just stands firm.
8人憑自己的識見,獲得讚美;但心地邪僻的人,必受輕視。 8According to his good sense a man is praised, but one with a warped mind is despised.
9一個自給自足的平民,比愛排場而缺食的人,更為可貴。 9Better a lowly man who supports himself than one of assumed importance who lacks bread.
10義人珍惜禽獸的生命,惡人的心腸殘忍刻薄。 10The just man takes care of his beast, but the heart of the wicked is merciless.
11自耕其地的人,必得飽食;追求虛幻的人,實屬愚昧。 11He who tills his own land has food in plenty, but he who follows idle pursuits is a fool.
12邪惡的想望,是惡人的羅網;義人的根基,卻永不動搖。 12The stronghold of evil men will be demolished, but the root of the just is enduring.
13惡人失口,自尋苦惱;義人卻能幸免受累。 13In the sin of his lips the evil man is ensnared, but the just comes free of trouble.
14人必飽嘗自己口舌的果實,必按自己的行為獲得報應。 14From the fruit of his words a man has his fill of good things, and the work of his hands comes back to reward him.
15愚昧的人,常以為自己的道路正直;但明智的人,卻常聽從勸告。 15The way of the fool seems right in his own eyes, but he who listens to advice is wise.
16愚昧的人,立時顯出自己的憤怒;機智的人,卻忍辱而不外露。 16The fool immediately shows his anger, but the shrewd man passes over an insult.
17吐露真情,是彰顯正義;作假見證,是自欺欺人。 17He tells the truth who states what he is sure of, but a lying witness speaks deceitfully.
18出言不慎,有如利刃傷人;智者的口,卻常療癒他人。 18The prating of some men is like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise is healing.
19講實話的唇舌,永垂不朽;說謊話的舌頭,瞬息即逝。 19Truthful lips endure forever, the lying tongue, for only a moment.
20圖謀惡事的,心懷欺詐;策劃和平的,必得喜樂, 20Deceit is in the hands of those who plot evil, but those who counsel peace have joy.
21義人常無往不利,惡人卻備受災殃。 21No harm befalls the just, but the wicked are overwhelmed with misfortune.
22欺詐的唇舌,為上主所深惡;行事誠實的,纔為他所中悅。 22Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who are truthful are his delight.
23機智的人,使自己的才學深藏不露;心中愚昧的人,只會彰顯自己的愚蠢。 23A shrewd man conceals his knowledge, but the hearts of fools gush forth folly.
24勤勞的手,必要掌權;懶慢的手,只有服役。 24The diligent hand will govern, but the slothful will be enslaved.
25憂鬱使人心消沉,良言使人心快活。 25Anxiety in a man's heart depresses it, but a kindly word makes it glad.
26義人給自己的友伴指示道路,惡人的行動卻引人誤入歧途。 26The just man surpasses his neighbor, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
27懶惰的人,無米為炊;勤勞的人,腰纏萬貫。 27The slothful man catches not his prey, but the wealth of the diligent man is great.
28正義的路,導向生命;邪惡的路,引人喪亡。 28In the path of justice there is life, but the abominable way leads to death.
