箴言 17
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1设筵满屋，大家相争， 不如有块干饼，大家相安。
1Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
2仆人办事聪明，必管辖贻羞之子， 又在众子中同分产业。
2A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
3鼎为炼银，炉为炼金； 惟有耶和华熬炼人心。
3The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
4行恶的，留心听奸诈之言； 说谎的，侧耳听邪恶之语。
4A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
5戏笑穷人的，是辱没造他的主； 幸灾乐祸的，必不免受罚。
5Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
6子孙为老人的冠冕； 父亲是儿女的荣耀。
6Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
7愚顽人说美言本不相宜， 何况君王说谎话呢？
7Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
8贿赂在馈送的人眼中看为宝玉， 随处运动都得顺利。
8A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
9遮掩人过的，寻求人爱； 屡次挑错的，离间密友。
9He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
10一句责备话深入聪明人的心， 强如责打愚昧人一百下。
10A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
11恶人只寻背叛， 所以必有严厉的使者奉差攻击他。
11An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12宁可遇见丢崽子的母熊， 不可遇见正行愚妄的愚昧人。
12Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
13以恶报善的， 祸患必不离他的家。
13Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14纷争的起头 如 水放开， 所以，在争闹之先必当止息争竞。
14The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
15定恶人为义的，定义人为恶的， 这都为耶和华所憎恶。
15He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD .
16愚昧人既无聪明， 为何手拿价银买智慧呢？
16Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it ?
17朋友乃时常亲爱， 弟兄为患难而生。
17A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18在邻舍面前击掌作保 乃是无知的人。
18A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
19喜爱争竞的，是喜爱过犯； 高立家门的，乃自取败坏。
19He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
20心存邪僻的，寻不着好处； 舌弄是非的，陷在祸患中。
20He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
21生愚昧子的，必自愁苦； 愚顽人的父毫无喜乐。
21He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
22喜乐的心乃是良药； 忧伤的灵使骨枯干。
22A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
23恶人暗中受贿赂， 为要颠倒判断。
23A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
24明哲人眼前有智慧； 愚昧人眼望地极。
24Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
25愚昧子使父亲愁烦， 使母亲忧苦。
25A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
26刑罚义人为不善； 责打君子为不义。
26Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
27寡少言语的，有知识； 性情温良的，有聪明。
27He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
28愚昧人若静默不言也可算为智慧； 闭口不说也可算为聪明。
28Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
