箴言 30
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1雅基 的兒子 亞古珥 的言語就是真言。 這人對 以鐵 和 烏甲 說：
1The words of Gatherer the son of Vomiter. The vision which the man spoke with whom God is, and who being strengthened by God, abiding with him, said:
2我比眾人更蠢笨， 也沒有人的聰明。
2I am the most foolish of men, and the wisdom of men is not with me.
3我沒有學好智慧， 也不認識至聖者。
3I have not learned wisdom, and have not known the science of saints.
4誰升天又降下來？ 誰聚風在掌握中？ 誰包水在衣服裏？ 誰立定地的四極？ 他名叫甚麼？ 他兒子名叫甚麼？ 你知道嗎？
4Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? who hath held the wind in his hands? who hath bound up the waters together as in a garment? who hath raised up all the borders of the earth? what is his name, and what is the name of his son, if thou knowest?
5上帝的言語句句都是煉淨的； 投靠他的，他便作他們的盾牌。
5Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him.
6他的言語，你不可加添， 恐怕他責備你，你就顯為說謊言的。
6Add not any thing to his words, lest thou be reproved, and found a liar:
7我求你兩件事， 在我未死之先，不要不賜給我：
7Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die.
8求你使虛假和謊言遠離我； 使我也不貧窮也不富足； 賜給我需用的飲食，
8Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. Give me neither beggary, nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life:
9恐怕我飽足不認 你 ，說： 耶和華是誰呢？ 又恐怕我貧窮就偷竊， 以致褻瀆我上帝的名。
9Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God.
10你不要向主人讒謗僕人， 恐怕他咒詛你，你便算為有罪。
10Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou fall.
11有一宗人，咒詛父親， 不給母親祝福。
11There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
12有一宗人，自以為清潔， 卻沒有洗去自己的污穢。
12A generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
13有一宗人，眼目何其高傲， 眼皮也是高舉。
13A generation, whose eyes are lofty, and their eyelids lifted up on high.
14有一宗人，牙如劍，齒如刀， 要吞滅地上的困苦人和世間的窮乏人。
14A generation, that for teeth hath swords, and grindeth with their jaw teeth, to devour the needy from off the earth, and the poor from among men.
15螞蟥有兩個女兒， 常說 ：給呀，給呀！ 有三樣不知足的， 連不說「夠的」共有四樣：
15The horseleech hath two daughters that say: Bring, bring. There are three things that never are satisfied, and the fourth never saith: It is enough.
16就是陰間和石胎， 浸水不足的地，並火。
16Hell, and the mouth of the womb, and the earth which is not satisfied with water: and the fire never saith: It is enough.
17戲笑父親、藐視而不聽從母親的， 他的眼睛必為谷中的烏鴉啄出來，為鷹雛所吃。
17The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.
18我所測不透的奇妙有三樣， 連我所不知道的共有四樣：
18Three things are hard to me, and the fourth I am utterly ignorant of.
19就是鷹在空中飛的道； 蛇在磐石上爬的道； 船在海中行的道； 男與女交合的道。
19The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man in youth.
20淫婦的道也是這樣： 她吃了，把嘴一擦就說： 我沒有行惡。
20Such is also the way of an adulterous woman, who eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: I have done no evil.
21使地震動的有三樣， 連地擔不起的共有四樣：
21By three things the earth is disturbed, and the fourth it cannot bear:
22就是僕人作王； 愚頑人吃飽；
22By a slave when he reigneth: by a fool when he is filled with meat:
23醜惡的女子出嫁； 婢女接續主母。
23By an odious woman when she is married: and by a bondwoman when she is heir to her mistress.
24地上有四樣小物，卻甚聰明：
24There are four very little things of the earth, and they are wiser than the wise:
25螞蟻是無力之類， 卻在夏天預備糧食。
25The ants, a feeble people, which provide themselves food in the harvest:
26沙番是軟弱之類， 卻在磐石中造房。
26The rabbit, a weak people, which maketh its bed in the rock:
27蝗蟲沒有君王， 卻分隊而出。
27The locust hath no king, yet they all go out by their bands.
28守宮用爪抓 牆 ， 卻住在王宮。
28The stellio supporteth itself on hands, and dwelleth in kings’ houses.
29步行威武的有三樣， 連行走威武的共有四樣：
29There are three things, which go well, and the fourth that walketh happily:
30就是獅子－乃百獸中最為猛烈、無所躲避的，
30A lion, the strongest of beasts, who hath no fear of any thing he meeteth:
31獵狗，公山羊，和無人能敵的君王。
31A cock girded about the loins: and a ram: and a king, whom none can resist.
32你若行事愚頑，自高自傲， 或是懷了惡念，就當用手 摀口 。
32There is that hath appeared a fool after he was lifted up on high: for if he had understood, he would have laid his hand upon his mouth.
33搖牛奶必成奶油； 扭鼻子必出血。 照樣，激動怒氣必起爭端。
33And he that strongly squeezeth the papa to bring out milk, straineth out butter: and he that violently bloweth his nose, bringeth out blood: and he that provoketh wrath bringeth forth strife.
