1信誉比多财可取,敬仰比金银可贵。 | 1A good name is better than great wealth; fame is preferable to silver or gold. |
2富人与穷人彼此相遇,二者皆为上主所造。 | 2Rich and poor have something in common, Yahweh has made them all. |
3精明人遇见灾祸,即行隐避;无知者反向前走,自招损害。 | 3The discreet man foresees disgrace and hides, the ignorant keep going at their own expense. |
4谦卑的赏报,是敬畏上主,是享有财富、尊荣和生命。 | 4The reward of humility is fear of Yahweh, wealth, honor and life. |
5邪恶者的路上,满布荆棘罗网;洁身自爱的人,必能远而避之。 | 5The path of the wicked is paved with thorns and traps, he who loves his life will keep his distance. |
6你教导孩童应行的道路,待他老年时也不会离弃。 | 6Teach a child the way he should go, he will not stray from it while he lives. |
7富人宰割穷人,债主奴役债户。 | 7The rich man lords it over the poor, the borrower is the moneylender's slave. |
8播种邪恶的,必收获灾祸;他辛苦工作,必全属徒劳。 | 8Whoever sows injustice reaps disaster; the power of the wicked will be broken. |
9目光慈祥的,必蒙受祝福,因他将食粮,施舍给穷人。 | 9The warmhearted man will be blessed since he shares his bread with the poor. |
10赶走了狂人,就除了争执;争讼与侮辱,亦相继止息。 | 10Throw out the mocker and the dispute will cease, fighting and insults will end. |
11纯洁的心灵,是上主所爱;优雅的唇舌,是君王所悦。 | 11He who loves purity of heart and speaks sensibly will find a friend in the king. |
12上主的眼目,常卫护知识;败类的言论,必加以毁灭。 | 12Yahweh's look protects the wise man and discredits the words of the liar. |
13只有懒人说:「外面有狮子,在街市之中,我会被吞噬」。 | 13The lazy man says, "There is a lion outside, he will kill me in the street." |
14淫妇们的口,实是个深坑;上主恼怒的,必坠入其中。 | 14The adulterous woman's mouth is a deep pit, he whom Yahweh wishes to punish will fall into it. |
15孩童心中藏愚昧,只有戒尺能驱逐。 | 15The heart of the child is naturally foolish, the beating of instruction will cure it. |
16欺压穷人,是使他致富;餽赠富者,是使他贫穷。 | 16When you oppress the poor, you make them grow; when you give to the rich, you waste everything. |
17你应当倾听智者的训言,应专心致意领会我的知识。 | 17Give ear, listen to the words of the wise and apply yourself to understanding them, |
18你若细心存想,常在口中诵念,必会令你喜悦。 | 18because it will be your delight to keep them deep within you, to have them always ready on your lips. |
19为使你的信赖全托于上主,我今日特将道路指示给你。 | 19I wish now to teach you, so that you will place your trust in Yahweh. |
20关于教诲和知识,我岂未多次写过, | 20Have I not written for you thirty chapters of advice and knowledge |
21使你认识真言实理,答复前来问你的人? | 21so that you may recognize the truth and be able to answer rightly him who sent you? |
22你不可因为人穷而剥削穷人,亦不可在城门口欺压弱小者; | 22Do not take from the poor man just because he is poor or condemn the one in misfortune, |
23因为他们的案件,上主必予以辩护;凡剥夺他们的人,上主必讨其生命。 | 23because Yahweh will intercede for them and will carry off the life of their oppressors. |
24易怒的人,不可与他交结,暴躁的人,不要与他往来, | 24Do not befriend the angry man or be a companion to the one of rage, |
25免得你沾染他的恶习,甘冒丧失性命的危险。 | 25for fear you adopt their ways and lose your life in their midst. |
26不要为别人击掌,不要为债务作保; | 26Do not be one of those who undertake a commitment and act as guarantor of debts; |
27免得你没有什么偿还时,连你的床榻也被人夺走。 | 27if you cannot pay, they will take from you the very bed in which you sleep. |
28祖先立定的旧界,你不要加以移动。 | 28Do not move the ancient boundaries established by your forefathers. |
29你曾见过办事能干的人吗?他必侍立在君王面前,决不侍立在佣人面前。 | 29You see a clever man at work? He will enter the service of kings; he will not stay in the service of people of no renown. |
