德训篇 Sirach
1有贤妻的丈夫,是有福的!他的寿数必要增加一倍。 1Happy the husband of a good wife, the number of his days will be doubled.
2有才能的妇人,是丈夫的喜乐,使他在平安中终其天年。 2A woman of character is her husband's joy, he will live in peace all the years of his life.
3有贤妇为妻,是一种福份;但是,只有敬畏上主的人,因自己的善行,才能得到她。 3A good wife is the best of gifts, reserved for those who fear the Lord;
4她不论是富是贫,心神总是快乐,时常面带笑容。 4rich or poor, he will have a serene heart and a happy face.
5有三件事,我心中恐惧,对第四件事,我更害怕,那就是: 5Three things disturb me and a fourth frightens me: neighborhood gossip, a rioting mob, a false accusation, all these are worse than death.
6市民的控告,暴徒的集会, 6But the woman jealous of another woman brings heartbreak, her tongue lashes out at everyone.
7诬妄的诽谤:这一切比死亡更为不幸; 7A bad wife is like a badly fixed yoke; taking her is like grasping a scorpion.
8但是,娭妒别的妇女的女人,令人心痛悲伤; 8A drunken wife causes scandal; her disgrace will not remain hidden.
9她向众人传话的舌头,是一条鞭子。 9A licentious woman is noticed by her secretive looks and recognized by her lively eyes.
10恶妇有如摆动的牛轭,谁要管治她,无异是用手去捉蝎子。 10Keep a firm eye on a defiant daughter, so that she may not take advantage of some occasion.
11好醉酒的妇女,是大怒的原因;她的耻辱和丑态,不能隐藏。 11Guard against the provocative woman and do not be surprised if she wishes to drag you into disgrace.
12眼波流动,是妇女淫荡的表示;从她的眉毛,可以认出。 12She opens her mouth like a thirsty traveler to drink any water coming her way; she sits by any pole and opens her quiver to every arrow.
13对无耻的女儿,你应严加管束,怕她有机可乘,就放纵起来。 13A wife's grace gladdens her husband and her prudence refreshes his body.
14你要留心,不要顺从无耻的眼睛;否则,她若冒犯你,你就不用惊奇。 14A wife who knows how to be silent is a gift from the Lord; the well-trained wife is invaluable.
15就如渴了的旅客,一到了水旁,不管遇到的是什么水,就张口去喝;同样,淫妇坐在任何木桩前,向射来的箭,张开箭袋,直到她疲乏为止。 15A modest wife is a favor among favors; the chaste wife is priceless.
16勤谨妇女的温柔,使自己的丈夫欢乐;她的明智,使丈夫的骨骼丰满。 16Like the sun rising over the mountains of the Lord, such is the enchantment of a good wife in a well-kept house.
17沉默寡言而明智的妇女,是上主的恩赐。 17Like the light which shines from the sacred lampstand, such is a beautiful face in a well-shaped body.
18受过好教养的人,是无价之宝。 18Like pillars of gold on a silver base, such are beautiful legs on sturdy feet.
19圣洁而知耻的妇女,乃无上的恩赐。 19There are two things which grieve me and a third which makes me angry: a warrior who suffers want; intelligent men who are treated contemptuously; a man who turns from virtue to sin. The Lord singles this man out to strike him down.
20贞洁的灵魂,实尊贵无比。 20The merchant can barely avoid greed; the shopkeeper cannot remain sinless.
21在秩序井然的家庭里,贤妇的美丽,有如在上主的至高之天,上升的太阳; 21
22她那健康身材上所衬托的美貌,有如神圣灯台上发光的灯; 22
23她那双在结实脚跟上的美腿,有如银座上的金柱。 23
24圣妇心里的天主诫命,有如坚固磐石上的永久基础。 24
25有两件事,我心中忧伤,而对第三件事,我更愤怒,那就是: 25
26战士为穷苦所困,明智人被人轻视, 26
27离弃正义而偏向罪恶的人,上主为他准备了刀剑。 27
28有两件事,依我看来,又难又危险,那就是:商人很难不犯罪,店员难免不失言。 28
