Proverbs 1 Better a poor man who walks in his integrity than he who is crooked in his ways and rich. 穷而行为正直，胜于富而唇舌欺诈。 2 Without knowledge even zeal is not good; and he who acts hastily, blunders. 人因愚蠢自毁前途；他的心反迁怒上主。 4 Wealth adds many friends, but the friend of the poor man deserts him. 财富招来许多朋友，穷人却为亲朋所弃。 5 The false witness will not go unpunished, and he who utters lies will not escape. 作假见证的人，难免受罚；撒播谎言的人，势必难逃。 6 Many curry favor with a noble; all are friends of the man who has something to give. 大方的人，人人奉承；好施的人，人都谄媚。 7 All the poor man's brothers hate him; how much more do his friends shun him! 人穷兄弟恨，朋友更远离；谁追求空言，是捕风捉影。 8 He who gains intelligence is his own best friend; he who keeps understanding will be successful. 获得明哲的，必爱惜自己；珍惜明智的，必觅得幸福。 9 The false witness will not go unpunished, and he who utters lies will perish. 作假见证的人，难免受罚；撒播谎言的人，自趋灭亡。 10 Luxury is not befitting a fool; much less should a slave rule over princes. 安逸的生活，不适于愚人；奴隶管君主，更是不相宜。 11 It is good sense in a man to be slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense. 明智的人，缓于发怒，宽恕愆尤，引以为荣。 12 The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor, like dew on the grass. 君主的盛怒，有如狮子的怒吼；君王的恩惠，有如草上的朝露。 13 The foolish son is ruin to his father, and the nagging of a wife is a persistent leak. 愚昧的儿子，是父亲的灾祸；吵闹的女人，有如屋顶漏水。 14 Home and possessions are an inheritance from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD. 房屋与钱财，是父母的遗产；贤明的妻子，是上主的恩赐。 15 Laziness plunges a man into deep sleep, and the sluggard must go hungry. 懒慢怠惰，使人沉睡；闲荡的人，必要挨饿。 16 He who keeps the precept keeps his life, but the despiser of the word will die. 恪守上主诫命的，可保全生命；轻视上主道路的，必自趋丧亡。 17 1 He who has compassion on the poor lends to the LORD, and he will repay him for his good deed. 向穷人施舍，是借贷于上主；对他的功德，上主必要报答。 18 Chastise your son, for in this there is hope; but do not desire his death. 尚有希望时，应惩罚儿子；但不可存心置他于死地。 19 The man of violent temper pays the penalty; even if you rescue him, you will have it to do again. 易怒的人，应当受罚：你越宽容，他越乖戾。 20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may eventually become wise. 你应听取劝告，接受教训，使你今后成个明智的人。 21 Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the decision of the LORD that endures. 人在心中尽可策划多端，实现的却是上主的计划。 22 From a man's greed comes his shame; rather be a poor man than a liar. 慷慨为人有利，穷汉胜过骗子。 23 The fear of the LORD is an aid to life; one eats and sleeps without being visited by misfortune. 敬畏上主，使人得生命，满怀敬畏，必无殃无祸。 24 The sluggard loses his hand in the dish; he will not even lift it to his mouth. 懒惰人伸手到食盘，却懒于送回到口边。 25 If you beat an arrogant man, the simple learn a lesson; if you rebuke an intelligent man, he gains knowledge. 26 He who mistreats his father, or drives away his mother, is a worthless and disgraceful son. 苛待父亲，迫走母亲的，实是卑贱可耻的儿子。 27 If a son ceases to hear instruction, he wanders from words of knowledge. 我儿，你停止听取教训，就是远离智慧的训言。 28 An unprincipled witness perverts justice, and the mouth of the wicked pours out iniquity. 邪曲的见证，戏笑公义；恶人们的嘴，吞食不义。 29 Rods are prepared for the arrogant, and blows for the backs of fools. 体刑是为轻狂人而设，鞭笞是为愚人背而备。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [17] Cf Matthew 25:34-40. |
