| 箴言 | Proverbs |
|---|---|
| 1君王的心在上主的手里，有如水流，可随意转移。 | 1In the hands of Yahweh, the heart of the king is like running water; he directs it wherever he wishes. |
| 2人对自己的行为，都自觉正直；但审察人心的，却是上主。 | 2To the eyes of man all his ways are honest but it is Yahweh who weighs the heart. |
| 3秉公行义，比献祭献更悦上主。 | 3To do what is upright and just pleases Yahweh more than sacrifice. |
| 4傲慢的眼睛，骄矜的心灵，恶人的炫耀，无非是罪恶。 | 4Haughty looks, proud heart, the light of the wicked is sin. |
| 5熟思的人，必足以致富；草率的人，必贫困缠身。 | 5The plans of a hardworking man result in earnings; poverty is for those who act too hastily. |
| 6以谎言伪语骗得的财宝，是浮云轻烟，死亡的罗网。 | 6To make a fortune by means of deceit is like running after the wind; the end is death. |
| 7恶人的暴戾，必殃及自身，因他们不肯去覆行正义。 | 7The violence of the wicked carries them away because they refuse to practice justice. |
| 8恶人的道路，歪曲邪僻；正人的行为，正直适中。 | 8The way of the criminal is devious; but honest are the ways of the innocent man. |
| 9宁愿住在屋顶的一角，不愿与吵妇同居一室。 | 9Better the corner of a barn to live in than a house shared with a raging woman. |
| 10恶人的心灵，只求邪恶；对自己友伴，毫不关怀。 | 10The soul of the wicked desires nothing but evil; not even his friend is treated with compassion. |
| 11轻狂人遭受处罚，幼稚者将得明智；智慧人接受教训，更增加自己知识。 | 11When the mocker is punished the ignorant man grows wise; when the wise man is instructed he grows in knowledge. |
| 12正义的上主监视恶人的家，且使恶人们都陷于灾祸中。 | 12The Just One watches the house of the evildoer and hurls the wicked into misfortune. |
| 13谁对穷人的哀求，充耳不闻，他呼求时，也不会得到应允。 | 13He who is deaf to the poor man's cry will not be heard when he himself calls out. |
| 14暗中相送的馈赠，可平息忿怒；投入怀中的礼物，可平息狂怒。 | 14A discreet gift pacifies anger, a bribe diverts violent rage. |
| 15秉公行义，能叫义人喜乐；但为作恶的人，却是恐惧。 | 15Upright men are glad when justice reigns but evildoers tremble. |
| 16凡远离明智道路的人，必居于幽灵的集会中。 | 16He who departs from the ways of prudence will sleep in the assembly of the Shades. |
| 17贪爱享乐的人，必遭受穷困；喜爱酒油的人，必不会致富。 | 17Pleasure-lovers remain poor, he who loves wine and perfume will never grow rich. |
| 18恶人必将为义人作赎金，败类也将替君子作代价。 | 18The wicked man will pay for the virtuous and the treacherous man, for the honest. |
| 19与好争易怒的女人同居，倒不如独自住在旷野里。 | 19Better to live in a deserted place than with a raging and abusive woman. |
| 20珍贵的宝藏和油，积藏在智者家里；但糊涂愚昧的人，却将之消耗净尽。 | 20There is oil and precious treasure in the wise man's house, things which the fool squanders. |
| 21追求正义和仁慈的人，必将获得生命与尊荣。 | 21He who seeks justice and mercy will gain life, prosperity and honor. |
| 22智者必登上勇士的城邑，攻破城邑所凭倚的堡垒。 | 22The wise man conquers a city of warriors and tears down the walls they trust in. |
| 23谁谨守自己的口舌，心灵必能免受烦恼。 | 23He who keeps guard over his mouth and tongue saves himself from anguish. |
| 24高傲的人名叫「狂人」，他行事必极端蛮横。 | 24"Mocker" is the name of the arrogant and haughty, he in whom pride abounds. |
| 25怠惰人的手不肯操作，必为他的愿望所扼杀。 | 25The idler's desires lead him to death because his hands refuse to work. |
| 26贪婪的人，终日贪婪；正义的人，广施不吝。 | 26He covets all day long while the upright man gives without stinting. |
| 27恶人的祭献，已是可憎；若怀恶而献，更将如何？ | 27Yahweh detests the sacrifice of the wicked, above all when they offer it for an unjust cause. |
| 28作假见证的人，必要灭亡；但善于听的人，才可常言。 | 28The lying witness will perish but he who listens wisely will be given time to speak. |
| 29邪恶的人，常装腔作势；正直的人，却举止检点。 | 29The wicked man tries to appear firm and table while the honest man confirms his way. |
| 30任何智慧、才略或计谋，都不能与上主相对抗。 | 30No wisdom, prudence or advice can withstand the look of Yahweh. |
| 31招兵买马，是为作战之日；但是胜利，却由上主指使。 | 31The horse is equipped for the day of battle but it is Yahweh who gives the victory. |
