箴言 22
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1美名勝過大財； 恩寵強如金銀。
1A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
2富戶窮人在世相遇， 都為耶和華所造。
2The rich and the poor meet together — the LORD is the maker of them all.
3通達人見禍藏躲； 愚蒙人前往受害。
3A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the thoughtless pass on, and are punished.
4敬畏耶和華心存謙卑， 就得富有、尊榮、生命為賞賜。
4The reward of humility is the fear of the LORD, even riches, and honour, and life.
5乖僻人的路上有荊棘和網羅； 保守自己生命的，必要遠離。
5Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward; he that keepeth his soul holdeth himself far from them.
6教養孩童，使他走當行的道， 就是到老他也不偏離。
6Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old, he will not depart from it.
7富戶管轄窮人； 欠債的是債主的僕人。
7The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
8撒罪孽的，必收災禍； 他逞怒的杖也必廢掉。
8He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity; and the rod of his wrath shall fail.
9眼目慈善的，就必蒙福， 因他將食物分給窮人。
9He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

10Cast out the scorner, and contention will go out; yea, strife and shame will cease.
11喜愛清心的人因他嘴上的恩言， 王必與他為友。
11He that loveth pureness of heart, that hath grace in his lips, the king shall be his friend.
12耶和華的眼目眷顧聰明人， 卻傾敗奸詐人的言語。
12The eyes of the LORD preserve him that hath knowledge, but He overthroweth the words of the faithless man.
13懶惰人說：外頭有獅子； 我在街上就必被殺。
13The sluggard saith: 'There is a lion without; I shall be slain in the streets.'
14淫婦的口為深坑； 耶和華所憎惡的，必陷在其中。
14The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
15愚蒙迷住孩童的心， 用管教的杖可以遠遠趕除。
15Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
16欺壓貧窮為要利己的， 並送 禮 與富戶的，都必缺乏。
16One may oppress the poor, yet will their gain increase; one may give to the rich, yet will want come.
17你須側耳聽受智慧人的言語， 留心領會我的知識。
17Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thy heart unto my knowledge.
18你若心中存記， 嘴上咬定，這便為美。
18For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; let them be established altogether upon thy lips.
19我今日以此特特指教你， 為要使你倚靠耶和華。
19That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made them known to thee this day, even to thee.
20謀略和知識的美事， 我豈沒有寫給你嗎？
20Have not I written unto thee excellent things of counsels and knowledge;
21要使你知道真言的實理， 你好將真言回覆那打發你來的人。
21That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, that thou mightest bring back words of truth to them that send thee?
22貧窮人，你不可因他貧窮就搶奪他的物， 也不可在城門口欺壓困苦人；
22Rob not the weak, because he is weak, neither crush the poor in the gate;
23因耶和華必為他辨屈； 搶奪他的，耶和華必奪取那人的命。
23For the LORD will plead their cause, and despoil of life those that despoil them.
24好生氣的人，不可與他結交； 暴怒的人，不可與他來往；
24Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; and with a wrathful man thou shalt not go;
25恐怕你效法他的行為， 自己就陷在網羅裏。
25Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
26不要與人擊掌， 不要為欠債的作保。
26Be thou not of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts;

28Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
29你看見辦事殷勤的人嗎？ 他必站在君王面前， 必不站在下賤人面前。
29Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
