箴言 19
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1行為純正的貧窮人 勝過乖謬愚妄的 富足 人。
1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity than he that is perverse in his lips and a fool at the same time.
2心無知識的，乃為不善； 腳步急快的，難免犯罪。
2Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3人的愚昧傾敗他的道； 他的心也抱怨耶和華。
3The foolishness of man perverteth his way; and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
4財物使朋友增多； 但窮人朋友遠離。
4Wealth addeth many friends; but as for the poor, his friend separateth himself from him.
5作假見證的，必不免受罰； 吐出謊言的，終不能逃脫。
5A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall not escape.
6好施散的，有多人求他的恩情； 愛送禮的，人都為他的朋友。
6Many will entreat the favour of the liberal man; and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7貧窮人，弟兄都恨他； 何況他的朋友，更遠離他！ 他用言語追隨，他們卻走了。
7All the brethren of the poor do hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He that pursueth words, they turn against him.
8得着智慧的，愛惜生命； 保守聰明的，必得好處。
8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9作假見證的，不免受罰； 吐出謊言的，也必滅亡。
9A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall perish.
10愚昧人宴樂度日是不合宜的； 何況僕人管轄王子呢？
10Luxury is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11人有見識就不輕易發怒； 寬恕人的過失便是自己的榮耀。
11It is the discretion of a man to be slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12王的忿怒好像獅子吼叫； 他的恩典卻如草上的甘露。
12The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13愚昧的兒子是父親的禍患； 妻子的爭吵 如雨 連連滴漏。
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14房屋錢財是祖宗所遺留的； 惟有賢慧的妻是耶和華所賜的。
14House and riches are the inheritance of fathers; but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15懶惰使人沉睡； 懈怠的人必受飢餓。
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16謹守誡命的，保全生命； 輕忽己路的，必致死亡。
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; but he that despiseth His ways shall die.
17憐憫貧窮的，就是借給耶和華； 他的善行，耶和華必償還。
17He that is gracious unto the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and his good deed will He repay unto him.
18趁有指望，管教你的兒子； 你的心不可任他死亡。
18Chasten thy son, for there is hope; but set not thy heart on his destruction.
19暴怒的人必受刑罰； 你若救他，必須再救。
19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou interpose, thou wilt add thereto.
20你要聽勸教，受訓誨， 使你終久有智慧。
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21人心多有計謀； 惟有耶和華的籌算才能立定。
21There are many devices in a man's heart; but the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
22施行仁慈的，令人愛慕； 窮人強如說謊言的。
22The lust of a man is his shame; and a poor man is better than a liar.
23敬畏耶和華的， 得着 生命； 他必恆久知足，不遭禍患。
23The fear of the LORD tendeth to life; and he that hath it shall abide satisfied, he shall not be visited with evil.
24懶惰人放手在盤子裏， 就是向口撤回，他也不肯。
24The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, and will not so much as bring it back to his mouth.
25鞭打褻慢人，愚蒙人必長見識； 責備明哲人，他就明白知識。
25When thou smitest a scorner, the simple will become prudent; and when one that hath understanding is reproved, he will understand knowledge.
26虐待父親、攆出母親的， 是貽羞致辱之子。
26A son that dealeth shamefully and reproachfully will despoil his father, and chase away his mother.
27我兒，不可聽了教訓 而又偏離知識的言語。
27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
28匪徒作見證戲笑公平； 惡人的口吞下罪孽。
28An ungodly witness mocketh at right; and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
29刑罰是為褻慢人預備的； 鞭打是為愚昧人的背預備的。
29Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
