箴言 26
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)

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 as rain in harvest, so honour 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 the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
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 the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.

4Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5要照愚昧人的愚妄話回答他， 免得他自以為有智慧。

6He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7瘸子的腳空存無用； 箴言在愚昧人的口中也是如此。
7The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

8As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, 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 a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

10The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
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 returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12你見自以為有智慧的人嗎？ 愚昧人比他更有指望。
12Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

13The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14門在樞紐轉動， 懶惰人在床上也是如此。

17He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
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。

19So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20火缺了柴就必熄滅； 無人傳舌，爭競便止息。
20Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
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 is a contentious man to kindle 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 wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23火熱的嘴，奸惡的心， 好像銀渣包的瓦器。
23Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24怨恨人的，用嘴粉飾， 心裏卻藏着詭詐；
24He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
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 speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations 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。
26Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
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。
27Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28虛謊的舌恨他所壓傷的人； 諂媚的口敗壞人的事。
28A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
