箴言 24
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1你不要嫉妒惡人， 也不要起意與他們相處；
1Seek not to be like evil men, neither desire to be with them:
2因為，他們的心圖謀強暴， 他們的口談論奸惡。
2Because their mind studieth robberies, and their lips speak deceits.
3房屋因智慧建造， 又因聰明立穩；
3By wisdom the house shall be built, and by prudence it shall be strengthened.
4其中因知識充滿各樣美好寶貴的財物。
4By instruction the storerooms shall be filled with all precious and most beautiful wealth.
5智慧人大有能力； 有知識的人力上加力。
5A wise man is strong: and a knowing man, stout and valiant.
6你去打仗，要憑智謀； 謀士眾多，人便得勝。
6Because war is managed by due ordering: and there shall be safety where there are many counsels.
7智慧極高，非愚昧人所能及， 所以在城門內不敢開口。
7Wisdom is too high for a fool, in the gate he shall not open his mouth.
8設計作惡的， 必稱為奸人。
8He that deviseth to do evils, shall be called a fool.
9愚妄人的思念乃是罪惡； 褻慢者為人所憎惡。
9The thought of a fool is sin: and the detracter is the abomination of men.
10你在患難之日若膽怯， 你的力量就微小。
10If thou lose hope being weary in the day of distress, thy strength shall be diminished.
11人被拉到死地，你要解救； 人將被殺，你須攔阻。
11Deliver them that are led to death: and those that are drawn to death forbear not to deliver.
12你若說：這事我未曾知道， 那衡量人心的豈不明白嗎？ 保守你命的豈不知道嗎？ 他豈不按各人所行的報應各人嗎？
12If thou say: I have not strength enough: he that seeth into the heart, he understandeth, and nothing deceiveth the keeper of thy soul, and he shall render to a man according to his works.
13我兒，你要吃蜜，因為是好的； 吃蜂房下滴的蜜便覺甘甜。
13Fat honey, my son, because it is good, and the honeycomb most sweet to thy throat:
14你心得了智慧，也必覺得如此。 你若找着，至終必有善報； 你的指望也不致斷絕。
14So also is the doctrine of wisdom to thy soul: which when thou hast found, thou shalt have hope in the end, and thy hope shall not perish.
15你這惡人，不要埋伏攻擊義人的家； 不要毀壞他安居之所。
15Lie not in wait, nor seek after wickedness in the house of the just, nor spoil his rest.
16因為，義人雖七次跌倒，仍必興起； 惡人卻被禍患傾倒。
16For a just mall shall fall seven times and shall rise again: but the wicked shall fall down into evil.
17你仇敵跌倒，你不要歡喜； 他傾倒，你心不要快樂；
17When thy enemy shall fall, be not glad, and in his ruin let not thy heart rejoice:
18恐怕耶和華看見就不喜悅， 將怒氣從仇敵身上轉過來。
18Lest the Lord see, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19不要為作惡的心懷不平， 也不要嫉妒惡人；
19Contend not with the wicked, nor seek to be like the ungodly:
20因為，惡人終不得善報； 惡人的燈也必熄滅。
20For evil men have no hope of things to come, and the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
21我兒，你要敬畏耶和華與君王， 不要與反覆無常的人結交，
21My son, fear the Lord and the king: and have nothing to do with detracters.
22因為他們的災難必忽然而起。 耶和華與君王所施行的毀滅， 誰能知道呢？
22For their destruction shall rise suddenly: and who knoweth the ruin of both?
23以下也是智慧人的 箴言 ： 審判時看人情面是不好的。
23These things also to the wise: It is not good to have respect to persons in judgment.
24對惡人說「你是義人」的， 這人萬民必咒詛，列邦必憎惡。
24They that say to the wicked man: Thou art just: shall be cursed by the people, and the tribes shall abhor them.
25責備 惡人的 ，必得喜悅； 美好的福也必臨到他。
25They that rebuke him, shall be praised: and a blessing shall come upon them.
26應對正直的，猶如與人親嘴。
26He shall kiss the lips, who answereth right words.
27你要在外頭預備工料， 在田間辦理整齊， 然後建造房屋。
27Prepare thy work without, and diligently till thy ground: that afterward thou mayst build thy house.
28不可無故作見證陷害鄰舍， 也不可用嘴欺騙人。
28Be not witness without cause against thy neighbour: and deceive not any man with thy lips.
29不可說：人怎樣待我，我也怎樣待他； 我必照他所行的報復他。
29Say not: I will do to him as he hath done to me: I will render to every one according to his work.
30我經過懶惰人的田地、 無知人的葡萄園，
30I passed by the field of the slothful man, and by the vineyard of the foolish man:
31荊棘長滿了地皮， 刺草遮蓋了田面， 石牆也坍塌了。
31And behold it was all filled with nettles, and thorns had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall was broken down.
32我看見就留心思想； 我看着就領了訓誨。
32Which when I had seen, I laid it up in my heart, and by the example I received instruction.
33再睡片時，打盹片時， 抱着手躺臥片時，
33Thou wilt sleep a little, said I, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to rest:
34你的貧窮就必如強盜速來， 你的缺乏彷彿拿兵器的人來到。
34And poverty shall come to thee as a runner, and beggary as an armed man.
