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. |
