Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1These are also parables of Solomon, which the men of Ezechias king of Juda copied out.
1以下也是 所罗门 的箴言，是 犹大 王 希西家 的人所誊录的。
2It is the glory of God to conceal the word, and the glory of kings to search out the speech.
2将事隐秘乃 神的荣耀； 将事察清乃君王的荣耀。
3The heaven above, and the earth beneath, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
3天之高，地之厚， 君王之心也测不透。
4Take away the rust from silver, and there shall come forth a most pure vessel:
4除去银子的渣滓就有 银子 出来， 银匠能以做器皿。
5Take away wickedness from the face of the king, and his throne shall be established with justice.
5除去王面前的恶人， 国位就靠公义坚立。
6Appear not glorious before the king, and stand not in the place of great men.
6不要在王面前妄自尊大； 不要在大人的位上站立。
7For it is better that it should be said to thee: Come up hither; than that thou shouldst be humbled before the prince.
7宁可有人说：请你上来， 强如在你觐见的王子面前叫你退下。
8The things which thy eyes have seen, utter not hastily in a quarrel: lest afterward thou mayst not be able to make amends, when thou hast dishonoured thy friend.
8不要冒失出去与人争竞， 免得至终被他羞辱， 你就 不知道 怎样行了。
9Treat thy cause with thy friend, and discover not the secret to a stranger:
9你与邻舍争讼， 要与他一人辩论， 不可泄漏人的密事，
10Lest he insult over thee, when he hath heard it, and cease not to upbraid thee. Grace and friendship deliver a man: keep these for thyself, lest thou fall under reproach.
10恐怕听见的人骂你， 你的臭名就难以脱离。
11To speak a word in due time, is like apples of gold on beds of silver.
11一句话说得合宜， 就如金苹果在银网子里。
12As an earring of gold and a bright pearl, so is he that reproveth the wise, and the obedient ear.
12智慧人的劝戒，在顺从的人耳中， 好像金耳环和精金的妆饰。
13As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to him that sent him, for he refresheth his soul.
13忠信的使者叫差他的人心里舒畅， 就如在收割时有冰雪的凉气。
14As clouds, and wind, when no rain followeth, so is the man that boasteth, and doth not fulfill his promises.
14空夸赠送礼物的， 好像无雨的风云。
15By patience a prince shall be appeased, and a soft tongue shall break hardness.
15恒常忍耐可以劝动君王； 柔和的舌头能折断骨头。
16Thou hast found honey, eat what is sufficient for thee, lest being glutted therewith thou vomit it up.
16你得了蜜吗？只可吃够而已， 恐怕你过饱就呕吐出来。
17Withdraw thy foot from the house of thy neighbour, lest having his fill he hate thee.
17你的脚要少进邻舍的家， 恐怕他厌烦你，恨恶你。
18A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour, is like a dart and a sword and a sharp arrow.
18作假见证陷害邻舍的， 就是大槌，是利刀，是快箭。
19To trust to an unfaithful man in the time of trouble, is like a rotten tooth, and weary foot,
19患难时倚靠不忠诚的人， 好像破坏的牙，错骨缝的脚。
20And one that looseth his garment in cold weather. As vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a very evil heart. As a moth doth by a garment, and a worm by the wood: so the sadness of a man consumeth the heart.
20对伤心的人唱歌， 就如冷天脱衣服， 又如硷上倒醋。
21If thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat: if he thirst, give him water to drink:
21你的仇敌若饿了，就给他饭吃； 若渴了，就给他水喝；
22For thou shalt heap hot coals upon his head, and the Lord will reward thee.
22因为，你 这样行 就是把炭火堆在他的头上； 耶和华也必赏赐你。
23The north wind driveth away rain, as doth a sad countenance a backbiting tongue.
23北风生雨， 谗谤人的舌头也生怒容。
24It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman, and in a common house.
24宁可住在房顶的角上， 不在宽阔的房屋与争吵的妇人同住。
25As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good tidings from a far country.
25有好消息从远方来， 就如拿凉水给口渴的人喝。
26A just man falling down before the wicked, is as a fountain troubled with the foot, and a corrupted spring.
26义人在恶人面前退缩， 好像趟浑之泉，弄浊之井。
27As it is not good for a man to eat much honey, so he that is a searcher of majesty, shall be overwhelmed by glory.
27吃蜜过多是不好的； 考究自己的荣耀也是可厌的。
28As a city that lieth open and is not compassed with walls, so is a man that cannot refrain his own spirit in speaking.
28人不制伏自己的心， 好像毁坏的城邑没有墙垣。
