| 德训篇 | Sirach |
|---|---|
| 1为发财而不寐，使人肉身消瘦；焦虑使人失眠。 | 1Watching for riches consumeth the flesh, and the thought thereof driveth away sleep. |
| 2为生活焦虑，使人梦断；极度的疲倦，驱散睡意。 | 2The thinking beforehand turneth away the understanding, and a grievous sickness maketh the soul sober. |
| 3富人疲劳工作，是为积蓄财产，在退休时，饱享安乐； | 3The rich man hath laboured in gathering riches together, and when he resteth he shall be filled with his goods. |
| 4穷人疲劳工作，是为生活的急需，但到退休时，仍然贫乏。 | 4The poor man hath laboured in his low way of life, and in the end he is still poor. |
| 5凡贪爱金钱的，不能称为义人；凡追求利益的，必走入迷途。 | 5He that loveth gold, shall not be justified: and he that followeth after corruption, shall be filled with it. |
| 6许多人为了金钱而失足，他们的丧亡就在眼前。 | 6Many have been brought to fall for gold, and the beauty thereof hath been their ruin. |
| 7金钱为拜金的人，是绊脚的木桩；迷爱黄金的人，是有祸的！一切愚人，都成了它的俘虏。 | 7Gold is a stumblingblock to them that sacrifice to it: woe to them that eagerly follow after it, and every fool shall perish by it. |
| 8无瑕可指，不追求黄金，不寄望于金钱财宝的富人，是有福的！ | 8Blessed is the rich man that is found without blemish: and that hath not gone after gold, nor put his trust in money nor in treasures. |
| 9他是谁？我们要称赞他，因为他在自己民族中，行了奇异的事。 | 9Who is he, and we will praise him? for he hath done wonderful things in his life. |
| 10谁在这事上受过考验，而仍是齐全的人呢？愿永远的光荣归于他！他能犯法而未犯，能作恶而未作。 | 10Who hath been tried thereby, and made perfect, he shall have glory everlasting. He that could have transgressed, and hath not transgressed: and could do evil things, and hath not done them: |
| 11他在上主那里的幸福，必然稳定；一切圣者的集会，必要赞扬他的慈善。 | 11Therefore are his goods established in the Lord, and all the church of the saints shall declare his alms. |
| 12你要赴贵族人的筵席吗？不要对筵席首先张口欲食， | 12Art thou set at a great table? be not the first to open thy mouth upon it. |
| 13也不要说：「桌上的东西真多！」 | 13Say not: There are many things which are upon it. |
| 14你要记得贪食的眼睛多么不好。 | 14Remember that a wicked eye is evil. |
| 15受造之物中，还有什么比眼睛更贪婪的呢？因此，无论见到什么，就要转动。 | 15What is created more wicked than an eye? therefore shall it weep over all the face when it shall see. |
| 16别人用贪婪的眼所注视的地方，你不要先伸手，免得你因被猜忌而受辱。 | 16Stretch not out thy hand first, lest being disgraced with envy thou be put to confusion. |
| 17也不要同他一起向盘碟伸手。 | 17Be not hasty in a feast. |
| 18你要以己度人，在一切事上要压制自己。 | 18Judge of the disposition of thy neighbour by thyself. |
| 19给你端来的东西，你吃时，要像一个有节制的人，不要狼吞虎咽，使人憎恶。 | 19Use as a frugal man the things that are set before thee: lest if thou eatest much, thou be hated. |
| 20为了礼貌，你要首先停止，不要只贪多吃，而令人嫌恶。 | 20Leave off first, for manners' sake: and exceed not, lest thou offend. |
| 21若你在许多人中坐席，不要在他们以先伸手；也不要在他们以先要求酒喝。 | 21And if thou sittest among many, reach not thy hand out first of all: and be not the first to ask for drink. |
| 22为有规律的人，少许酒便够了；这样，在床上既不气喘，也不感到痛苦。 | 22How sufficient is a little wine for a man well taught, and in sleeping thou shalt not be uneasy with it, and thou shalt feel no pain. |
| 23饮食有节，睡眠安逸；这样的人，清晨起来，明悟自然清爽； | 23Watching, and choler, and gripes, are with an intemperate man: |
| 24但是没有节制的人，却要感到失眠、肚疼、呕吐等痛苦。 | 24Sound and wholesome sleep with a moderate man: he shall sleep till morning, and his soul shall be delighted with him. |
| 25若你因被迫吃多了，你不妨起来散步呕吐，休息一下，你的身体就不至于得病。 | 25And if thou hast been forced to eat much, arise, go out, and vomit: and it shall refresh thee, and thou shalt not bring sickness upon thy body. |
| 26我儿，要听我的话，不可轻视我，最后你会了解我的话； | 26Hear me, my son, and despise me not: and in the end thou shalt find my words. |
| 27在你所行的一切事上，务要谨慎，就不会得到什么病症。 | 27In all thy works be quick, and no infirmity shall come to thee. |
| 28慷慨设宴款待人的，必获得众口的称赞；他大方的盛誉，是可信的。 | 28The lips of many shall bless him that is liberal of his bread, and the testimony of his truth is faithful. |
| 29悭吝设宴款待人的，必遭受全城的抱怨；他悭吝的恶名，是确实的。 | 29Against him that is niggardly of his bread, the city will murmur, and the testimony of his niggardliness is true. |
| 30饮酒时，不要表示你是个豪饮的人，因为酒害死了许多人。 | 30Challenge not them that love wine: for wine hath destroyed very many. |
| 31火能锻炼钢铁；同样，酒也能判别骄傲人在争辩时的心情。 | 31Fire trieth hard iron: so wine drunk to excess shall rebuke the hearts of the proud. |
| 32适量的酒，仿佛是人的生命，只要你饮得适当，你必清醒舒畅。 | 32Wine taken with sobriety is equal life to men: if thou drink it moderately, thou shalt be sober. |
| 33人缺少酒，他的生活，还算什么生活？ | 33What is his life, who is diminished with wine? |
| 34残害生命的是什么？是死亡。 | 34What taketh away life? death. |
| 35造酒原来是为使人愉快，并不是叫人酣醉。 | 35Wine was created from the beginning to make men joyful, and not to make them drunk. |
| 36饮酒有时有节，使人心里高兴，精神愉快。 | 36Wine drunken with moderation is the joy of the soul and the heart. |
| 37饮酒有节有度，可以健心强身。 | 37Sober drinking is health to soul and body. |
| 38饮酒过度，容易使人争吵忿怒，甚至闯出许多祸来。 | 38Wine drunken with excess raiseth quarrels; and wrath, and many ruins. |
| 39饮酒过度的人，因情绪受到刺激，心神自然苦闷。 | 39Wine drunken with excess is bitterness of the soul. |
| 40酣醉能激起愚人发怒，得罪人；酣醉能减少人的精力，给人带来创伤。 | 40The heat of drunkenness is the stumblingblock of the fool, lessening strength and causing wounds. |
| 41在宴饮时，不要责斥人，也不要因人快乐而轻视他； | 41Rebuke not thy neighbour in a banquet of wine: and despise him not in his mirth. |
| 42不要向人说责怪的话，也不要逼人交还什么钱财。 | 42Speak not to him words of reproach: and press him not in demanding again. |
