| 德训篇 | Sirach |
|---|---|
| 1别人推选你当主席么？你不要自高；你在宾客中间，要与同席的一样。 | 1Have you been chosen to preside at a party? Don't give yourself airs! Just be like everyone else in the group; see to their needs and then sit down. |
| 2招待了他们，你才可入座；尽完你的义务，才可入席， | 2When you have done what you should, take your place and enjoy yourself with the others. They will congratulate you for a job well done. |
| 3好同他们一起欢乐；因你礼貌周到，你必能获得荣冠，和众宾客的敬意。 | 3If you are older, speak as befits your age, but know what you are talking about and do not interrupt the music. |
| 4年长的人，请你发言，因为此事于你是相宜的， | 4If there is a concert, refrain from speaking; it is not the time for playing the wise man. |
| 5你应以老练的学识发言，但不要防碍音乐。 | 5A musical concert at a wine banquet is like a ruby set in gold. |
| 6别人不听的时候，你就不要劳叨；不合时机，也不要显露你的智慧。 | 6As an emerald signet set in a work of gold, so is the music with good wine. |
| 7酒席间伴奏的音乐，有如金饰上的红玉印章。 | 7If you are young, speak if you have to, but not more than twice and only if requested. |
| 8欢乐有节的宴会中，音乐家的合奏曲，有如金器上的翡翠印章。 | 8Keep to the point and say it all in a few words. Show that you are well informed but not over-anxious to speak. |
| 9你要静静地听，因为你谦恭，别人对你必有好感。 | 9Do not try to be the equal of eminent people and do not chat when someone else is speaking. |
| 10青年人，人若一再追问你， | 10As lightning goes before thunder, the reputation of a modest man goes before him. |
| 11假使你必须说，你就说罢！ | 11Leave the party at the right time and do not be slow about it; no lingering, go straight home! |
| 12但说话时，要把握要点，言简意赅，现出你是一位明智，而沉默的人。 | 12There you may relax and do as you please, but do not sin by bragging. |
| 13在大人物中，不要想你也是大人物；有长老在前，你不应多说话。 | 13And thank your Creator for the enjoyment of all good things. |
| 14雷鸣以前，先有闪电；端庄的人，先受欢迎。有了这番敬意，你才能取得人的爱戴。 | 14Whoever fears the Lord will accept his correction, and those who rise at dawn will win his favor. |
| 15到了散席的时候，不要落后；及早回家，不要拖延。 | 15The man who follows his Law will be nourished by it, but the hypocrite will find it a stumbling block. |
| 16在那里你可以散心，作你想作的事，但不要因言语傲慢而犯罪。 | 16Those who fear the Lord will please him and their good deeds will shine as a light. |
| 17为这一切，你要赞颂上主，他造生了你，又用他的美物，使你满足。 | 17The sinner refuses correction and excuses himself for doing what he wants. |
| 18凡敬畏上主的，必能接受他的教训；凡寻找他的，必能讨他的欢心。 | 18A person of judgment reflects beforehand; the stubborn and proud man goes ahead without worrying about anything. |
| 19寻求法律的，必为法律所满足；冒充善人的，必因法律而失足。 | 19Never act without first reflecting, and you will have no regrets. |
| 20凡敬畏上主的，必获得正义的审判；他们要使正直的行为，照耀如光。 | 20Do not go along a rough road lest you stumble on stones. |
| 21犯罪的人，不理会谴责，却找寻借口，作自己愿意的事。明智人不掩藏智慧。讥笑人的，不谨守自己的口舌；明智人不接受礼物；骄傲和讥笑人的，不遵守法律。 | 21And do not be too sure of your step on a smooth path. |
| 22明智人不轻视别人的意见；不虔敬和骄傲的人，却无所畏惧。 | 22Beware even of your own children. |
| 23人不征求意见，冒昧从事，事后必对自己的轻率，感到惭愧。 | 23Be careful in whatever you do. In so doing you keep the commandments. |
| 24我儿，不加考虑，什么事也不要作；如此，事成以后，你就不至于后悔。 | 24Those who trust in the Law will keep the commandments and those who obey the Lord will come to no harm. |
| 25你不要行崎岖的道路，怕你碰在石头上，因而跌倒；也不要自信所走的路，是平坦的路，怕你给自己放上绊脚石。 | 25 |
| 26要管束你的子女，应留意你的家人；在你的一切行径上，要持守你的心神；因为凡这样作的人，就是遵守诫命。 | 26 |
| 27在你所作的一切事上，应信赖你的良知，因为这就是遵守诫命。 | 27 |
| 28凡信赖法律的，必注重诫命；凡倚赖上主的，决不会受害。 | 28 |
