箴言 15
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1回答柔和，使怒消退； 言語暴戾，觸動怒氣。
1A soft answer turneth away wrath; but a grievous word stirreth up anger.
2智慧人的舌善發知識； 愚昧人的口吐出愚昧。
2The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright; but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3耶和華的眼目無處不在； 惡人善人，他都鑒察。
3The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good.
4溫良的舌是生命樹； 乖謬的嘴使人心碎。
4A soothing tongue is a tree of life; but perverseness therein is a wound to the spirit.
5愚妄人藐視父親的管教； 領受責備的，得着見識。
5A fool despiseth his father's correction; but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6義人家中多有財寶； 惡人得利反受擾害。
6In the house of the righteous is much treasure; but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7智慧人的嘴播揚知識； 愚昧人的心並不如此。
7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge; but the heart of the foolish is not stedfast.
8惡人獻祭，為耶和華所憎惡； 正直人祈禱，為他所喜悅。
8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD; but the prayer of the upright is His delight.
9惡人的道路，為耶和華所憎惡； 追求公義的，為他所喜愛。
9The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD; but He loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10捨棄正路的，必受嚴刑； 恨惡責備的，必致死亡。
10There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way; and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11陰間和滅亡尚在耶和華眼前， 何況世人的心呢？
11The nether-world and Destruction are before the LORD; how much more then the hearts of the children of men!
12褻慢人不愛受責備； 他也不就近智慧人。
12A scorner loveth not to be reproved; he will not go unto the wise.
13心中喜樂，面帶笑容； 心裏憂愁，靈被損傷。
13A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance; but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
14聰明人心求知識； 愚昧人口吃愚昧。
14The heart of him that hath discernment seeketh knowledge; but the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.
15困苦人的日子都是愁苦； 心中歡暢的，常享豐筵。
15All the days of the poor are evil; but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16少有財寶，敬畏耶和華， 強如多有財寶，煩亂不安。
16Better is little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure and turmoil therewith.
17吃素菜，彼此相愛， 強如吃肥牛，彼此相恨。
17Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18暴怒的人挑啟爭端； 忍怒的人止息紛爭。
18A wrathful man stirreth up discord; but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19懶惰人的道像荊棘的籬笆； 正直人的路是平坦的大道。
19The way of the sluggard is as though hedged by thorns; but the path of the upright is even.
20智慧子使父親喜樂； 愚昧人藐視母親。
20A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21無知的人以愚妄為樂； 聰明的人按正直而行。
21Folly is joy to him that lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment walketh straightforwards.
22不先商議，所謀無效； 謀士眾多，所謀乃成。
22For want of counsel purposes are frustrated; but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23口善應對，自覺喜樂； 話合其時，何等美好。
23A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; and a word in due season, how good is it!
24智慧人從生命的道上升， 使他遠離在下的陰間。
24The path of life goeth upward for the wise, that he may depart from the nether-world beneath.
25耶和華必拆毀驕傲人的家， 卻要立定寡婦的地界。
25The LORD will pluck up the house of the proud; but He will establish the border of the widow.
26惡謀為耶和華所憎惡； 良言乃為純淨。
26The thoughts of wickedness are an abomination to the LORD; but words of pleasantness are pure.
27貪戀財利的，擾害己家； 恨惡賄賂的，必得存活。
27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
28義人的心，思量如何回答； 惡人的口吐出惡言。
28The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29耶和華遠離惡人， 卻聽義人的禱告。
29The LORD is far from the wicked; but He heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30眼有光，使心喜樂； 好信息，使骨滋潤。
30The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; and a good report maketh the bones fat.
31聽從生命責備的， 必常在智慧人中。
31The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
32棄絕管教的，輕看自己的生命； 聽從責備的，卻得智慧。
32He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul; but he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.
33敬畏耶和華是智慧的訓誨； 尊榮以前，必有謙卑。
33The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour goeth humility.
