箴言 26
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1夏天落雪，收割時下雨，都不相宜； 愚昧人得尊榮也是如此。
1As snow in summer, and rain in harvest, so glory is not seemly for a fool.
2麻雀往來，燕子翻飛； 這樣，無故的咒詛也必不臨到。
2As a bird flying to other places, and a sparrow going here or there: so a curse uttered without cause shall come upon a man.
3鞭子是為打馬，轡頭是為勒驢； 刑杖是為打愚昧人的背。
3A whip for a horse, and a snaffle for an ass, and a rod for the back of fools.
4不要照愚昧人的愚妄話回答他， 恐怕你與他一樣。
4Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be made like him.
5要照愚昧人的愚妄話回答他， 免得他自以為有智慧。
5Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise.
6藉愚昧人手寄信的， 是砍斷 自己的 腳，自受損害。
6He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity.
7瘸子的腳空存無用； 箴言在愚昧人的口中也是如此。
7As a lame man hath fair legs in vain: so a parable is unseemly in the mouth of fools.
8將尊榮給愚昧人的， 好像人把石子包在機弦裏。
8As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9箴言在愚昧人的口中， 好像荊棘刺入醉漢的手。
9As if a thorn should grow in the hand of a drunkard: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10雇愚昧人的，與雇過路人的， 就像射傷眾人的弓箭手。
10Judgment determineth causes: and he that putteth a fool to silence, appeaseth anger.
11愚昧人行愚妄事，行了又行， 就如狗轉過來吃牠所吐的。
11As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly.
12你見自以為有智慧的人嗎？ 愚昧人比他更有指望。
12Hast thou seen a man wise in his own conceit? there shall be more hope of a fool than of him.
13懶惰人說：道上有猛獅， 街上有壯獅。
13The slothful man saith: There is a lion in the way, and a lioness in the roads.
14門在樞紐轉動， 懶惰人在床上也是如此。
14As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15懶惰人放手在盤子裏， 就是向口撤回也以為勞乏。
15The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and it grieveth him to turn it to his mouth.
16懶惰人看自己比七個善於應對的人更有智慧。
16The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit, than seven men that speak sentences.
17過路被事激動，管理不干己的爭競， 好像人揪住狗耳。
17As he that taketh a dog by the ears, so is he that passeth by in anger, and meddleth with another man’s quarrel.
18人欺凌鄰舍，卻說： 我豈不是戲耍嗎？ 他就像瘋狂的人拋擲火把、利箭， 與殺人的兵器。
18As he is guilty that shooteth arrows, and lances unto death:
no verse 19 in this text
19So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest.
20火缺了柴就必熄滅； 無人傳舌，爭競便止息。
20When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease.
21好爭競的人煽惑爭端， 就如餘火加炭，火上加柴一樣。
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so an angry man stirreth up strife.
22傳舌人的言語，如同美食， 深入人的心腹。
22The words of a talebearer are as it were simple, but they reach to the innermost parts of the belly.
23火熱的嘴，奸惡的心， 好像銀渣包的瓦器。
23Swelling lips joined with a corrupt heart, are like an earthen vessel adorned with silver dross.
24怨恨人的，用嘴粉飾， 心裏卻藏着詭詐；
24An enemy is known by his lips, when in his heart he entertaineth deceit.
25他用甜言蜜語，你不可信他， 因為他心中有七樣可憎惡的。
25When he shall speak low, trust him not: because there are seven mischiefs in his heart.
26他雖用詭詐遮掩自己的怨恨， 他的邪惡必在會中顯露。
26He that covereth hatred deceitfully, his malice shall be laid open in the public assembly.
27挖陷坑的，自己必掉在其中； 滾石頭的，石頭必反滾在他身上。
27He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return to him.
28虛謊的舌恨他所壓傷的人； 諂媚的口敗壞人的事。
28A deceitful tongue loveth not truth: and a slippery mouth worketh ruin.
