| 箴言 | Proverbs |
|---|---|
| 1君王的心在上主的手裡，有如水流，可隨意轉移。 | 1Like a stream is the king's heart in the hand of the LORD; wherever it pleases him, he directs it. |
| 2人對自己的行為，都自覺正直；但審察人心的，卻是上主。 | 2All the ways of a man may be right in his own eyes, but it is the LORD who proves hearts. |
| 3秉公行義，比獻祭獻更悅上主。 | 3To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. |
| 4傲慢的眼睛，驕矜的心靈，惡人的炫耀，無非是罪惡。 | 4Haughty eyes and a proud heart - the tillage of the wicked is sin. |
| 5熟思的人，必足以致富；草率的人，必貧困纏身。 | 5The plans of the diligent are sure of profit, but all rash haste leads certainly to poverty. |
| 6以謊言偽語騙得的財寶，是浮雲輕煙，死亡的羅網。 | 6He who makes a fortune by a lying tongue is chasing a bubble over deadly snares. |
| 7惡人的暴戾，必殃及自身，因他們不肯去覆行正義。 | 7The oppression of the wicked will sweep them away, because they refuse to do what is right. |
| 8惡人的道路，歪曲邪僻；正人的行為，正直適中。 | 8The way of the culprit is crooked, but the conduct of the innocent is right. |
| 9寧願住在屋頂的一角，不願與吵婦同居一室。 | 9It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop than in a roomy house with a quarrelsome woman. |
| 10惡人的心靈，只求邪惡；對自己友伴，毫不關懷。 | 10The soul of the wicked man desires evil; his neighbor finds no pity in his eyes. |
| 11輕狂人遭受處罰，幼稚者將得明智；智慧人接受教訓，更增加自己知識。 | 11When the arrogant man is punished, the simple are the wiser; when the wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge. |
| 12正義的上主監視惡人的家，且使惡人們都陷於災禍中。 | 12The just man appraises the house of the wicked: there is one who brings down the wicked to ruin. |
| 13誰對窮人的哀求，充耳不聞，他呼求時，也不會得到應允。 | 13He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor will himself also call and not be heard. |
| 14暗中相送的饋贈，可平息忿怒；投入懷中的禮物，可平息狂怒。 | 14A secret gift allays anger, and a concealed present, violent wrath. |
| 15秉公行義，能叫義人喜樂；但為作惡的人，卻是恐懼。 | 15To practice justice is a joy for the just, but terror for evildoers. |
| 16凡遠離明智道路的人，必居於幽靈的集會中。 | 16The man who strays from the way of good sense will abide in the assembly of the shades. |
| 17貪愛享樂的人，必遭受窮困；喜愛酒油的人，必不會致富。 | 17He who loves pleasure will suffer want; he who loves wine and perfume will not be rich. |
| 18惡人必將為義人作贖金，敗類也將替君子作代價。 | 18The wicked man serves as ransom for the just, and the faithless man for the righteous. |
| 19與好爭易怒的女人同居，倒不如獨自住在曠野裡。 | 19It is better to dwell in a wilderness than with a quarrelsome and vexatious wife. |
| 20珍貴的寶藏和油，積藏在智者家裡；但糊塗愚昧的人，卻將之消耗淨盡。 | 20Precious treasure remains in the house of the wise, but the fool consumes it. |
| 21追求正義和仁慈的人，必將獲得生命與尊榮。 | 21He who pursues justice and kindness will find life and honor. |
| 22智者必登上勇士的城邑，攻破城邑所憑倚的堡壘。 | 22The wise man storms a city of the mighty, and overthrows the stronghold in which it trusts. |
| 23誰謹守自己的口舌，心靈必能免受煩惱。 | 23He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from trouble. |
| 24高傲的人名叫「狂人」，他行事必極端蠻橫。 | 24Arrogant is the name for the man of overbearing pride who acts with scornful effrontery. |
| 25怠惰人的手不肯操作，必為他的願望所扼殺。 | 25The sluggard's propensity slays him, for his hands refuse to work. |
| 26貪婪的人，終日貪婪；正義的人，廣施不吝。 | 26Some are consumed with avarice all the day, but the just man gives unsparingly. |
| 27惡人的祭獻，已是可憎；若懷惡而獻，更將如何？ | 27The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination, the more so when they offer it with a bad intention. |
| 28作假見證的人，必要滅亡；但善於聽的人，纔可常言。 | 28The false witness will perish, but he who listens will finally have his say. |
| 29邪惡的人，常裝腔作勢；正直的人，卻舉止檢點。 | 29The wicked man is brazenfaced, but the upright man pays heed to his ways. |
| 30任何智慧、才略或計謀，都不能與上主相對抗。 | 30There is no wisdom, no understanding, no counsel, against the LORD. |
| 31招兵買馬，是為作戰之日；但是勝利，卻由上主指使。 | 31The horse is equipped for the day of battle, but victory is the LORD'S. |
