箴言 18
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1与众寡合的，独自寻求心愿， 并恼恨一切真智慧。
1He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, and snarlest against all sound wisdom.
2愚昧人不喜爱明哲， 只喜爱显露心意。
2A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may lay itself bare.
3恶人来，藐视随来； 羞耻到，辱骂同到。
3When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
4人口中的言语如同深水； 智慧的泉源好像涌流的河水。
4The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters; a flowing brook, a fountain of wisdom.
5瞻徇恶人的情面， 偏断义人的案件，都为不善。
5It is not good to respect the person of the wicked, so as to turn aside the righteous in judgment.
6愚昧人张嘴启争端， 开口招鞭打。
6A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7愚昧人的口自取败坏； 他的嘴是他生命的网罗。
7A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8传舌人的言语如同美食， 深入人的心腹。
8The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9做工懈怠的， 与浪费人为弟兄。
9Even one that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer.
10耶和华的名是坚固台； 义人奔入便得安稳。
10The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is set up on high.
11富足人的财物是他的坚城， 在他心想，犹如高墙。
11The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.
12败坏之先，人心骄傲； 尊荣以前，必有谦卑。
12Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, and before honour goeth humility.
13未曾听完先回答的， 便是他的愚昧和羞辱。
13He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is folly and confusion unto him.
14人有疾病，心能忍耐； 心灵忧伤，谁能承当呢？
14The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a broken spirit who can bear?
15聪明人的心得知识； 智慧人的耳求知识。
15The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16人的礼物为他开路， 引他到高位的人面前。
16A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17先诉情由的，似乎有理； 但邻舍来到，就察出实情。
17He that pleadeth his cause first seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him out.
18掣签能止息争竞， 也能解散强胜的人。
18The lot causeth strife to cease, and parteth asunder the contentious.
19弟兄结怨， 劝他和好 ，比取坚固城还难； 这样的 争竞如同坚寨的门闩。
19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city; and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20人口中所结的果子，必充满肚腹； 他嘴所出的，必使他饱足。
20A man's belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.
21生死在舌头的权下， 喜爱它的，必吃它所结的果子。
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that indulge it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22得着 贤 妻的，是得着好处， 也是蒙了耶和华的恩惠。
22Whoso findeth a wife findeth a great good, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
23贫穷人说哀求的话； 富足人用威吓的话回答。
23The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth impudently.
24滥交朋友的，自取败坏； 但有一朋友比弟兄更亲密。
24There are friends that one hath to his own hurt; but there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
