德训篇:Chapter 22

德训篇	Sirach
¹懒惰人仿佛一块污秽的石头，对他的丑行，人人发出唏嘘声。	¹The sluggard is pelted with a dirty stone, and all men will speak of his disgrace.
²懒惰人好比一堆牛粪，摸着的人，都将它从手中抖掉。	²The sluggard is pelted with the dung of oxen: and every one that toucheth him will shake his hands.
³一个不受管教的儿子，是父亲的耻辱；生了这样的女儿，是父亲的损失。	³A son ill taught is the confusion of the father: and a foolish daughter shall be to his loss.
⁴明智的女儿，是丈夫的宝藏；无耻的女儿，是父亲的忧伤。	⁴A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but she that confoundeth, becometh a disgrace to her father.
⁵放荡的妇女，羞辱自己的父亲和丈夫，并不次于不虔敬的人：父亲和丈夫都要轻视她。	⁵She that is bold shameth both her father and husband, and will not be inferior to the ungodly: and shall be disgraced by them both.
⁶不合时宜的言论，有如悲哀中的音乐；教鞭和训诲，无论什么时候，常是明智的。	⁶A tale out of time is like music in mourning: but the stripes and instruction of wisdom are never out of time.
⁷教训愚人，无异黏合陶器碎片；	⁷He that teacheth a fool, is like one that glueth a potsherd together.
⁸向不愿听的人讲话，就像唤醒熟睡的人。	⁸He that telleth a word to him that heareth not, is like one that waketh a man out of a deep sleep.
⁹给愚人讲话，等于向睡觉的人讲话；话说完了，他还问什么事？	⁹He speaketh with one that is asleep, who uttereth wisdom to a fool: and in the end of the discourse he saith: Who is this?
¹⁰要为亡者哀哭，因为他已失去了光明；更要为愚人哀哭，因为他已失去了明悟。	¹⁰Weep for the dead, for his light hath failed: and weep for the fool, for his understanding faileth.
¹¹哀悼亡者要有节，因为他已得到了安息；	¹¹Weep but a little for the dead, for he is at rest.
¹²然而邪恶愚人不幸的生命，比死亡更为可悲。	¹²For the wicked life of a wicked fool is worse than death.
¹³哀悼死者，为期不过七天；悲哭愚人与不虔敬的人，却是一生。	¹³The mourning for the dead is seven days: but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of their life.
¹⁴同愚人不要长谈，与无知的人要交往。	¹⁴Talk not much with a fool, and go not with him that hath no sense.
¹⁵要谨慎防备他，就不致招惹烦恼；即便他喷唾，你也不至于受玷污。	¹⁵Keep thyself from him, that thou mayst not have trouble, and thou shalt not be defiled with his sin.
¹⁶他要远离他，你就得享安宁，不至于因他的愚蠢而感到厌烦。	¹⁶Turn away from him, and thou shalt find rest, and shalt not be wearied out with his folly.
¹⁷什么东西比铅还重？比铅还重的东西的名字，不是「愚人」么？	¹⁷What is heavier than lead? and what other name hath he but fool?
¹⁸沙、盐、铁堆虽重，但比忍耐一个无知糊涂而不虔敬的人，更容易担负。	¹⁸Sand and salt, and a mass of iron is easier to bear, than a man without sense, that is both foolish and wicked.
¹⁹用栋梁支持的建筑物，在地动时不致倒塌；同样，深思熟虑而镇定的心，危险时也不会畏惧。	¹⁹A frame of wood bound together in the foundation of a building, shall not be loosed: so neither shall the heart that is established by advised counsel.
²⁰以智慧的思想为基础的心，有如光滑的墙壁上涂的灰泥。	²⁰The thought of him that is wise at all times, shall not be depraved by fear.
²¹高处的篱笆，经不起风吹；	²¹As pales set in high places, and plasterings made without cost, will not stand against the face of the wind:
²²同样，那因愚昧的思想而恐惧的心，也禁不住任何惊吓。	²²So also a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool shall not resist against the violence of fear.
²³就如愚人在思虑时心虽游移不定，却无时感到恐惧，就像常守天主法律的人一样。	²³As a fearful heart in the thought of a fool at all times will not fear, so neither shall he that continueth always in the commandments of God.
²⁴剌激人眼，会引出眼泪；剌激人心，会显出真情。	²⁴He that pricketh the eye, bringeth out tears: and he that pricketh the heart, bringeth forth resentment.
²⁵抛石打鸟，会使鸟惊飞；责骂友人会断绝友情。	²⁵He that flingeth a stone at birds, shall drive them away: so he that upbraideth his friend, breaketh friendship.
²⁶若你已向友人拔出利剑，不要失望，因为还可恢复旧交；	²⁶Although thou hast drawn a sword at a friend, despair not: for there may be a returning. To a friend,
²⁷若你已对友人开口攻击，不要害怕，因为还能和好如初；惟有辱骂、责斥、骄傲、泄漏秘密、暗中伤害，能使朋友疏远。	²⁷If thou hast opened a sad mouth, fear not, for there may be a reconciliation: except upbraiding, and reproach, and pride, and disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for in all these cases a friend will flee away.
²⁸你的朋友穷困的时候，你要对他忠诚；到他富裕时，你便可以与他共享福利。	²⁸Keep fidelity with a friend in his poverty, that in his prosperity also thou mayst rejoice.
²⁹他遭难的时候，你要待他始终如一；这样，你就可以分享他的产业。	²⁹In the time of his trouble continue faithful to him, that thou mayst also be heir with him in his inheritance.
³⁰火生起以前，炉中冒气冒烟；同样，流血以前、也有咒骂、凌辱和威吓。	³⁰As the vapour of a chimney, and the smoke of the fire goeth up before the fire: so also injurious words, and reproaches, and threats, before blood.
³¹我不害羞保护一个朋友，也不躲藏而不与他见面，虽然为了他我要遭遇什么不幸，我也忍受。	³¹I will not be ashamed to salute a friend, neither will I hide myself from his face: and if any evil happen to me by him, I will bear it.
³²虽然如此，若他还不知恩，凡听见这事的人，必对他加以防范。	³²But every one that shall hear it, will beware of him.
³³谁能在我的口上派一个守卫，在我的唇上贴上一张稳妥的封条，免得我因口过而跌倒，因我的唇舌而自取灭亡？	³³Who will set a guard before my mouth, and a sure seal upon my lips, that I fall not by them, and that my tongue destroy me not?
