Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips, and unwise.
1行為純正的貧窮人 勝過乖謬愚妄的 富足 人。
2Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.
2心無知識的，乃為不善； 腳步急快的，難免犯罪。
3The folly of a man supplanteth his seeps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
3人的愚昧傾敗他的道； 他的心也抱怨耶和華。
4Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
4財物使朋友增多； 但窮人朋友遠離。
5A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
5作假見證的，必不免受罰； 吐出謊言的，終不能逃脫。
6Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
6好施散的，有多人求他的恩情； 愛送禮的，人都為他的朋友。
7The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.
7貧窮人，弟兄都恨他； 何況他的朋友，更遠離他！ 他用言語追隨，他們卻走了。
8But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence shall find good things.
8得着智慧的，愛惜生命； 保守聰明的，必得好處。
9A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.
9作假見證的，不免受罰； 吐出謊言的，也必滅亡。
10Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes.
10愚昧人宴樂度日是不合宜的； 何況僕人管轄王子呢？
11The learning of a man is known by patience and his glory is to pass over wrongs.
11人有見識就不輕易發怒； 寬恕人的過失便是自己的榮耀。
12As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.
12王的忿怒好像獅子吼叫； 他的恩典卻如草上的甘露。
13A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.
13愚昧的兒子是父親的禍患； 妻子的爭吵 如雨 連連滴漏。
14House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
14房屋錢財是祖宗所遺留的； 惟有賢慧的妻是耶和華所賜的。
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15懶惰使人沉睡； 懈怠的人必受飢餓。
16He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.
16謹守誡命的，保全生命； 輕忽己路的，必致死亡。
17He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.
17憐憫貧窮的，就是借給耶和華； 他的善行，耶和華必償還。
18Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
18趁有指望，管教你的兒子； 你的心不可任他死亡。
19He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away he shall add another thing.
19暴怒的人必受刑罰； 你若救他，必須再救。
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.
20你要聽勸教，受訓誨， 使你終久有智慧。
21There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm.
21人心多有計謀； 惟有耶和華的籌算才能立定。
22A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.
22施行仁慈的，令人愛慕； 窮人強如說謊言的。
23The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in fulness without being visited with evil.
23敬畏耶和華的， 得着 生命； 他必恆久知足，不遭禍患。
24The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth.
24懶惰人放手在盤子裏， 就是向口撤回，他也不肯。
25The wicked man being; scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man he will understand discipline.
25鞭打褻慢人，愚蒙人必長見識； 責備明哲人，他就明白知識。
26He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy.
26虐待父親、攆出母親的， 是貽羞致辱之子。
27Cease not, O my son, to hear instruction, and be not ignorant of the words of knowledge.
27我兒，不可聽了教訓 而又偏離知識的言語。
28An unjust witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
28匪徒作見證戲笑公平； 惡人的口吞下罪孽。
29Judgments are prepared for scorners: and striking hammers for the bodies of fools.
29刑罰是為褻慢人預備的； 鞭打是為愚昧人的背預備的。
