Proverbs 12
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Whoso loveth knowledge loveth correction; but he that is brutish hateth reproof.
1喜爱管教的，就是喜爱知识； 恨恶责备的，却是畜类。
2A good man shall obtain favour of the LORD; but a man of wicked devices will He condemn.
2善人必蒙耶和华的恩惠； 设诡计的人，耶和华必定他的罪。
3A man shall not be established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall never be moved.
3人靠恶行不能坚立； 义人的根必不动摇。
4A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that doeth shamefully is as rottenness in his bones.
4才德的妇人是丈夫的冠冕； 贻羞的妇人如同朽烂在她丈夫的骨中。
5The thoughts of the righteous are right; but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
5义人的思念是公平； 恶人的计谋是诡诈。
6The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
6恶人的言论是埋伏流人的血； 正直人的口必拯救人。
7The wicked are overthrown, and are not; but the house of the righteous shall stand.
7恶人倾覆，归于无有； 义人的家必站得住。
8A man shall be commended according to his intelligence; but he that is of a distorted understanding shall be despised.
8人必按自己的智慧被称赞； 心中乖谬的，必被藐视。
9Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that playeth the man of rank, and lacketh bread.
9被人轻贱，却有仆人， 强如自尊，缺少食物。
10A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
10义人顾惜他牲畜的命； 恶人的怜悯也是残忍。
11He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; but he that followeth after vain things is void of understanding.
11耕种自己田地的，必得饱食； 追随虚浮的，却是无知。
12The wicked desireth the prey of evil men; but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
12恶人想得坏人的网罗； 义人的根得以结实。
13In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; but the righteous cometh out of trouble.
13恶人嘴中的过错是自己的网罗； 但义人必脱离患难。
14A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
14人因口所结的果子，必饱得美福； 人手所做的，必为自己的报应。
15The way of a fool is straight in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
15愚妄人所行的，在自己眼中看为正直； 惟智慧人肯听人的劝教。
16A fool's vexation is presently known; but a prudent man concealeth shame.
16愚妄人的恼怒立时显露； 通达人能忍辱藏羞。
17He that breatheth forth truth uttereth righteousness; but a false witness deceit.
17说出真话的，显明公义； 作假见证的，显出诡诈。
18There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.
18说话浮躁的，如刀刺人； 智慧人的舌头却为医人的良药。
19The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
19口吐真言，永远坚立； 舌说谎话，只存片时。
20Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
20图谋恶事的，心存诡诈； 劝人和睦的，便得喜乐。
21There shall no mischief befall the righteous; but the wicked are filled with evil.
21义人不遭灾害；恶人满受祸患。
22Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD; but they that deal truly are His delight.
22说谎言的嘴为耶和华所憎恶； 行事诚实的，为他所喜悦。
23A prudent man concealeth knowledge; but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
23通达人隐藏知识； 愚昧人的心彰显愚昧。
24The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful shall be under tribute.
24殷勤人的手必掌权； 懒惰的人必服苦。
25Care in the heart of a man boweth it down; but a good word maketh it glad.
25人心忧虑，屈而不伸； 一句良言，使心欢乐。
26The righteous is guided by his friend; but the way of the wicked leadeth them astray.
26义人引导他的邻舍； 恶人的道叫人失迷。
27The slothful man shall not hunt his prey; but the precious substance of men is to be diligent.
27懒惰的人不烤打猎所得的； 殷勤的人却得宝贵的财物。
28In the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
28在公义的道上有生命； 其路之中并无死亡。
