德训篇:Chapter 3

德训篇	Sirach
¹智慧之子，形成义人的集会；他们的家族充满服从与友爱。	¹My children, it is your father who speaks, listen to me and follow my advice and so be saved.
²孩子们，你们应听从我，你们的父亲；你们要这样作，以便得救。	²For the Lord established that children should respect their father; he confirmed the right of the mother over her sons.
³因为，上主愿父亲受儿女的尊敬，且确定了母亲对子女的权利。	³Whoever honors his father atones for his sins;
⁴孝敬父亲的人，必能补赎罪过；且能戒避罪恶，在祈祷之日，必蒙应允。	⁴he who gives glory to his mother prepares a treasure for himself.
⁵孝敬母亲的人，就如积蓄珍宝的人。	⁵Whoever honors his father will receive joy from his own children and will be heard when he prays.
⁶孝敬父亲的人，必在子女身上获得喜乐；当他祈祷时，必蒙应允。	⁶Whoever glorifies his father will have a long life. Whoever obeys the Lord gives comfort to his mother.
⁷孝敬父亲的，必享长寿；听从上主的，必使母亲得到安慰。	⁷He serves those who brought him to birth as he would serve the Lord.
⁸敬畏上主的人，必孝敬父母；奉事生他的父母，犹如奉事主人。	⁸Honor your father in word and deed so that his blessing may come on you.
⁹你当以言以行，以各样的忍耐，孝敬你的父亲，	⁹For a father's blessing secures the future of his children, but a mother's curse destroys them at their roots.
¹⁰好使他的祝福，降到你身上，而存留至终。	¹⁰Do not rejoice at the humiliation of your father because his dishonor is no glory for you.
¹¹因为父亲的祝福，巩固子女的家庭；反之，母亲的诅咒，拔除家庭的基础。	¹¹For a man's glory comes from his father's reputation; a mother who is not respected is a disgrace to her children.
¹²不要以你父亲的羞辱为荣，因为父亲的羞辱，为你不是光荣；	¹²My son, take care of your father in his old age, do not cause him sorrow as long as he lives.
¹³原来人的光荣，是建在他父亲的荣誉上；不名誉的母亲，是子女的耻辱。	¹³Even if he has lost his mind, have patience; do not be disrespectful to him while you are in full health.
¹⁴我儿，你父亲年老了，你当扶助；在他有生之日，不要使他忧伤。	¹⁴For kindness done to one's father will never be forgotten, it will serve as reparation for your sins.
¹⁵若他的智力衰弱了，你要对他有耐心，不要因你年富力强就藐视他；	¹⁵In the day of adversity the Lord will remember it to your advantage; for just as ice melts in the heat, so will your sins melt away.
¹⁶因为，对父亲所施的怜悯，是不会被遗忘的，天主必要赦免你的罪过，复兴你的家庭。因你容忍母亲的过失，必获赏报；	¹⁶The man who abandons his father is like a blasphemer; he who annoys his mother is cursed by the Lord.
¹⁷天主必依公义，建立你的家庭；在你困难之日，要记念你，要消灭你的罪过，有如晴天溶化冰霜。	¹⁷My son, conduct your affairs with discretion and you will be loved by those who are acceptable to God.
¹⁸背弃父亲的，形同亵圣；激怒母亲的，已为上主所诅咒。	¹⁸The greater you are, the more you should humble yourself and thus you will find favor with God.
¹⁹我儿，执行你的工作时，应当谦和；这样，你会比施惠的人更受人爱戴。	¹⁹For great is the power of the Lord and it is the humble who give him glory.
²⁰你越伟大，在一切事上越当谦下；这样，你才能在上主面前，获得恩宠。	²⁰Do not seek what is beyond your powers nor search into what is beyond your ability.
²¹因为，只有上主的权能是伟大的，为谦逊人所尊崇。	²¹Reflect on what you are commanded to do; there is no need for you to know things that are hidden.
²²为你太难的事，你不要寻找；超乎你能力的事，你不要研究；然而天主给你所规定的，你应时常思念，在他的许多工程上，你不应怀着好奇心去追究。	²²Do not tire yourself in resolving useless questions since the knowledge you already have goes beyond human understanding.
²³因为，亲眼观察那些隐密的事，为你并不需要。	²³For many have been led astray by their personal theories and false pretension has undermined reason.
²⁴在超过你能力的事上，你不要劳神；在他的许多工程上，你不要怀着好奇的心；	²⁴The obstinate man will eventually fall into evil, and he who loves danger will perish therein.
²⁵因为，你已见到许多，人类不能理解的事；	²⁵The obstinate man will be weighed down with sufferings; the sinner heaps up sin upon sin.
²⁶的确，有许多人受了自己妄想的欺骗，邪恶的幻想迷惑了他们的明悟。	²⁶For the sufferings of the proud man there is no remedy, the roots of evil are implanted in him.
²⁷心里顽硬的人，终究必有不幸的结局；爱危险的，必死于危险之中。	²⁷The wise man reflects on proverbs. What the wise man desires is an attentive ear. Almsgiving
²⁸徘徊在两条路上的心，决不会成功；心术不正的人，必要绊倒。	²⁸As water extinguishes the burning flames, almsgiving obtains pardon for sins.
²⁹顽硬的心，必为愁苦所累；罪人必要罪上加罪。	²⁹The man who responds by doing good prepares for the future, at the moment of his downfall he will find support.
³⁰骄傲人们的创伤，无法医治，因为恶根在他们身上，已根深蒂固，而他们却不自觉。	³⁰
³¹明智人的心，领会寓言；智慧人的心愿，是希求热心的听众。	³¹
³²聪明睿智的心，必戒避罪恶；在正义的工作上，必获成功。	³²
³³水可以消灭烈火，施舍可以补赎罪过。	³³
³⁴天主保佑施舍的人，此后必要记念他，在他跌倒时，要使他获得扶助。	³⁴
