Proverbs 11
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1A false balance is an abomination to the LORD; but a perfect weight is His delight.
1诡诈的天平为耶和华所憎恶; 公平的法码为他所喜悦。
2When pride cometh, then cometh shame; but with the lowly is wisdom.
2骄傲来,羞耻也来; 谦逊人却有智慧。
3The integrity of the upright shall guide them; but the perverseness of the faithless shall destroy them.
3正直人的纯正必引导自己; 奸诈人的乖僻必毁灭自己。
4Riches profit not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death.
4发怒的日子资财无益; 惟有公义能救人脱离死亡。
5The righteousness of the sincere shall make straight his way; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
5完全人的义必指引他的路; 但恶人必因自己的恶跌倒。
6The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; but the faithless shall be trapped in their own crafty device.
6正直人的义必拯救自己; 奸诈人必陷在自己的罪孽中。
7When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish, and the hope of strength perisheth.
7恶人一死,他的指望必灭绝; 罪人的盼望也必灭没。
8The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
8义人得脱离患难, 有恶人来代替他。
9With his mouth the impious man destroyeth his neighbour; but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
9不虔敬的人用口败坏邻舍; 义人却因知识得救。
10When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; and when the wicked perish, there is joy.
10义人享福,合城喜乐; 恶人灭亡,人都欢呼。
11By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted; but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
11城因正直人祝福便高举, 却因邪恶人的口就倾覆。
12He that despiseth his neighbour lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment holdeth his peace.
12藐视邻舍的,毫无智慧; 明哲人却静默不言。
13He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.
13往来传舌的,泄漏密事; 心中诚实的,遮隐事情。
14Where no wise direction is, a people falleth; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
14无智谋,民就败落; 谋士多,人便安居。
15He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; but he that hateth them that strike hands is secure.
15为外人作保的,必受亏损; 恨恶击掌的,却得安稳。
16A gracious woman obtaineth honour; and strong men obtain riches.
16恩德的妇女得尊荣; 强暴的男子得资财。
17The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
17仁慈的人善待自己; 残忍的人扰害己身。
18The wicked earneth deceitful wages; but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.
18恶人经营,得虚浮的工价; 撒义种的,得实在的果效。
19Stedfast righteousness tendeth to life; but he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
19恒心为义的, 必得 生命; 追求邪恶的, 必致 死亡。
20They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD; but such as are upright in their way are His delight.
20心中乖僻的,为耶和华所憎恶; 行事完全的,为他所喜悦。
21My hand upon it! the evil man shall not be unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall escape.
21恶人 虽然 连手,必不免受罚; 义人的后裔必得拯救。
22As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman that turneth aside from discretion.
22妇女美貌而无见识, 如同 金环带在猪鼻上。
23The desire of the righteous is only good; but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
23义人的心愿尽得好处; 恶人的指望致干忿怒。
24There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.
24有施散的,却更增添; 有吝惜过度的,反致穷乏。
25The beneficent soul shall be made rich, and he that satisfieth abundantly shall be satisfied also himself.
25好施舍的,必得丰裕; 滋润人的,必得滋润。
26He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
26屯粮不卖的,民必咒诅他; 情愿出卖的,人必为他祝福。
27He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for evil, it shall come unto him.
27恳切求善的,就求得恩惠; 惟独求恶的,恶必临到他身。
28He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as foliage.
28倚仗自己财物的,必跌倒; 义人必发旺,如青叶。
29He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
29扰害己家的,必承受清风; 愚昧人必作慧心人的仆人。
30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that is wise winneth souls.
30义人所结的果子就是生命树; 有智慧的,必能得人。
31Behold, the righteous shall be requited in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!
31看哪,义人在世尚且受报, 何况恶人和罪人呢?
