| 德训篇 | Sirach |
|---|---|
| 1谦虚人的智慧，必使他抬头，也必使他坐于伟人之中。 | 1The wisdom of the humble shall exalt his head, and shall make him sit in the midst of great men. |
| 2不要因人美丽便赞美他，也不要因一个人的外表而轻视他。 | 2Praise not a man for his beauty, neither despise a man for his look. |
| 3飞虫中，蜜蜂是微小的，但她的产品，却是最甘饴的。 | 3The bee is small among flying things, but her fruit hath the chiefest sweetness. |
| 4在穿衣上，不要打扮；光荣之日，不要自大；因为上主的工程虽是惊人的，光荣的，但他的行动在人间，却是隐而不现的。 | 4Glory not in apparel at any time, and be not exalted in the day of thy honour: for the works of the Highest only are wonderful, and his works are glorious, and secret, and hidden. |
| 5许多暴君竟坐在地下；人不介意的人，反戴上了王冠。 | 5Many tyrants have sat on the throne, and he whom no man would think on, hath worn the crown. |
| 6许多有权势的人，遭受了极大的凌辱；许多有声望的人，陷落在外邦人的手里。 | 6Many mighty men have been greatly brought down, and the glorious have been delivered into the hand of others. |
| 7未询问以前，不可责斥人；先要问明白，然后公正地加以责斥。 | 7Before thou inquire, blame no man: and when thou hast inquired, reprove justly. |
| 8未听以前，不可作覆；人家正在谈论中，你不要插嘴。 | 8Before thou hear, answer not a word: and interrupt not others in the midst of their discourse. |
| 9与你无关的事，你不要争辩，也不要参加罪人的诉讼。 | 9Strive not in a matter which doth not concern thee, and sit not in judgment with sinners. |
| 10我儿，你的工作不要繁多，若事情太多，难免没有过失；如果你急于进取，就什么也得不到；如你过于急进，就免不了受害。 | 10My son, meddle not with many matters: and if thou be rich, thou shalt not be free from sin: for if thou pursue after thou shalt not overtake: and if thou run before thou shalt not escape. |
| 11有一个不虔敬的人劳苦，殷勤操作，忍痛耐劳，却更加贫乏。 | 11There is an ungodly man that laboureth, and maketh haste, and is in sorrow, and is so much the more in want. |
| 12又有一个瘦弱的人，需要援助，缺乏力量，万分可怜； | 12Again, there is an inactive man that wanteth help, is very weak in ability, and full of poverty: |
| 13然而上主却以仁慈的眼眷顾他，从卑贱中提拔他，使他抬头，使许多人对他表示惊奇，因而尊敬天主。 | 13Yet the eye of God hath looked upon him for good, and hath lifted him up from his low estate, and hath exalted his head: and many have wondered at him, and have glorified God. |
| 14幸福、灾祸、生死、贫富，都来自上主。 | 14Good things and evil, life and death, poverty and riches, are from God. |
| 15智慧、学识及法律的知识，来自上主；爱情与行善的工作，也是从他那里来的。 | 15Wisdom and discipline, and the knowledge of the law are with God. Love and the ways of good things are with him. |
| 16错谬与黑暗，是为罪人而造的；以恶为荣的，越老越恶。 | 16Error and darkness are created with sinners: and they that glory in evil things, grow old in evil. |
| 17上主的恩惠，常是留给虔敬的人；他的恩宠使虔敬的人永远顺利。 | 17The gift of God abideth with the just, and his advancement shall have success for ever. |
| 18有人因节俭而成了富翁，这算是他应得的赏报： | 18There is one that is enriched by living sparingly, and this is the portion of his reward. |
| 19于是他说：「我找著了安息，现在我要享用我的财物了。」 | 19In that he saith: I have found me rest, and now I will eat of my goods alone: |
| 20但是，他不知道自己还生存多少日子，死亡便临近了，他就该把这一切留给别人而死去。 | 20And he knoweth not what time shall pass, and that death approacheth, and that he must leave all to others, and shall die. |
| 21你当遵守你与天主结的盟约，按照盟约生活，老于你的职守。 | 21Be steadfast in thy covenant, and be conversant therein, and grow old in the work of thy commandments. |
| 22不要惊奇罪人的成就，只该信赖上主，坚持你的工作。 | 22Abide not in the works of sinners. But trust in God, and stay in thy place. |
| 23因为，使穷人忽然变为富翁，在上主眼中，是一件容易的事。 | 23For it is easy in the eyes of God on a sudden to make the poor man rich. |
| 24上主的祝福，是虔敬人的赏报；上主使自己的祝福倾刻之间即能开花。 | 24The blessing of God maketh haste to reward the just, and in a swift hour his blessing beareth fruit. |
| 25不要说：我在世上还有什么用处？今后，我还能有什么幸福？ | 25Say not: What need I, and what good shall I have by this? |
| 26不要说：我所有的够用的了，今后，还能有什么不幸降到我身上？ | 26Say not: I am sufficient for myself: and what shall I be made worse by this? |
| 27在幸福的日子，人忘却了不幸；在不幸的时候，人忘却了幸福。 | 27In the day of good things be not unmindful of evils: and in the day of evils be not unmindful of good things: |
| 28然而在死亡之日，依照人的行径报应人，为上主是一件容易事。 | 28For it is easy before God in the day of death to reward every one according to his ways. |
| 29一时的忧苦，能使人忘掉已往的幸福；人一到临终，他的行为就暴露出来。 | 29The affliction of an hour maketh one forget great delights, and in the end of a man is the disclosing of his works. |
| 30任何人未死以前，不要称他是有福的，因为从他的子女，才能认识他的为人。 | 30Praise not any man before death, for a man is known by his children. |
| 31不要引人进入你的家庭，因为欺诈人的奸计，花样百出。 | 31Bring not every man into thy house: for many are the snares of the deceitful. |
| 32骄傲人的心，像臭腐了的五脏，发泄臭气，像被诱进樊笼里的鹧鸪，像陷在罗网里的山羊，像窥探别人，使他落网的侦探。 | 32For as corrupted bowels send forth stinking breath, and as the partridge is brought into the cage, and as the roe into the snare: so also is the heart of the proud, and as a spy that looketh on the fall of his neighbour. |
| 33他设法把好事变成坏事，连最好的事，他也要非难。 | 33For he lieth in wait and turneth good into evil, and on the elect he will lay a blot. |
| 34一星之火，可以酿成燎原之火，由于一个诡计多諯的人，流血的事件增多了；犯罪的人图谋倾流人血。 | 34Of one spark cometh a great fire, and of one deceitful man much blood: and a sinful man lieth in wait for blood. |
| 35要谨防作恶的人，因为他图谋邪恶的事，免得他加给你永远的耻辱。 | 35Take heed to thyself of a mischievous man, for he worketh evils: lest he bring upon thee reproach for ever. |
| 36若你在家收留外人，他必作乱推翻你，夺取你的家产。 | 36Receive a stranger in, and he shall overthrow thee with a whirlwind, and shall turn thee out of thy own. |
