德训篇:Chapter 32

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 they made thee ruler? be not lifted up: be among them as one of them.
²招待了他们，你才可入座；尽完你的义务，才可入席，	²Have care of them, and so sit down, and when thou hast acquitted thyself of all thy charge, take thy place:
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。	³That thou mayst rejoice for them, and receive a crown as an ornament of grace, and get the honour of the contribution.
⁴年长的人，请你发言，因为此事于你是相宜的，	⁴Speak, thou that art elder: for it becometh thee,
⁵你应以老练的学识发言，但不要防碍音乐。	⁵To speak the first word with care knowledge, and hinder not music.
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。	⁶Where there is no hearing, pour out words, and be not lifted up out season with thy wisdom.
⁷酒席间伴奏的音乐，有如金饰上的红玉印章。	⁷A concert of music in a banquet wine is as a carbuncle set in gold.
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。	⁸As a signet of an emerald in a work of gold: so is the melody of music with pleasant and moderate wine.
⁹你要静静地听，因为你谦恭，别人对你必有好感。	⁹Hear in silence, and for thy reverence good grace shall come to thee.
¹⁰青年人，人若一再追问你，	¹⁰Young man, scarcely speak in thy own cause.
¹¹假使你必须说，你就说罢！	¹¹If thou be asked twice, let thy answer be short.
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。	¹²In many things be as if thou wert ignorant, and hear in silence and withal seeking.
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。	¹³In the company of great men bake not upon thee: and when the ancients are present, speak not much.
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。	¹⁴Before a storm goeth lightning: and before shamefacedness goeth favour: and for thy reverence good grace shall come to thee.
¹⁵到了散席的时候，不要落后；及早回家，不要拖延。	¹⁵And at the time of rising be not slack: but be first to run home to thy house, and there withdraw thyself, and there take thy pastime.
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。	¹⁶And do what thou hast a mind, but not in sin or proud speech.
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。	¹⁷And for all these things bless the Lord, that made thee, and that replenisheth thee with all his good things.
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。	¹⁸He that feareth the Lord, will receive his discipline: and they that will seek him early, shall find a blessing.
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。	¹⁹He that seeketh the law, shall be filled with it: and he that dealeth deceitfully, shall meet with a stumblingblock therein.
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。	²⁰They that fear the Lord, shall find just judgment, and shall kindle justice as a light.
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。	²¹A sinful man will flee reproof, and will find an excuse according to his will.
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。	²²A man of counsel will not neglect understanding, a strange and proud man will not dread fear:
²³人不征求意见，冒昧从事，事后必对自己的轻率，感到惭愧。	²³Even after he hath done with fear without counsel, he shall be controlled by the things of his own seeking.
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。	²⁴My son, do thou nothing without counsel, and thou shalt not repent when thou hast done.
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。	²⁵Go not in the way of ruin, and thou shalt not stumble against the stones; trust not thyself to a rugged may, lest thou set a stumblingblock to thy soul.
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。	²⁶And beware of thy own children, and take heed of them of thy household.
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。	²⁷In every work of thine regard thy soul in faith: for this is the keeping of the commandments.
²⁸凡信赖法律的，必注重诫命；凡倚赖上主的，决不会受害。	²⁸He that believeth God, taketh heed to the commandments: and he that trusteth in him, shall fare never the worse.
