Proverbs 27
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Boast not thyself of to-morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
1不要为明日自夸， 因为一日要生何事，你尚且不能知道。
2Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
2要别人夸奖你，不可用口自夸； 等外人称赞你，不可用嘴自称。
3A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's vexation is heavier than they both.
3石头重，沙土沉， 愚妄人的恼怒比这两样更重。
4Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
4忿怒为残忍，怒气为狂澜， 惟有嫉妒，谁能敌得住呢？
5Better is open rebuke than love that is hidden.
5当面的责备强如背地的爱情。
6Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are importunate.
6朋友加的伤痕出于忠诚； 仇敌连连亲嘴却是多余。
7The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
7人吃饱了，厌恶蜂房的蜜； 人饥饿了，一切苦物都觉甘甜。
8As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
8人离本处飘流， 好像雀鸟离窝游飞。
9Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart; so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
9膏油与香料使人心喜悦； 朋友诚实的劝教也是如此甘美。
10Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity; better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
10你的朋友和父亲的朋友， 你都不可离弃。 你遭难的日子，不要上弟兄的家去； 相近的邻舍强如远方的弟兄。
11My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that taunteth me.
11我儿，你要作智慧人，好叫我的心欢喜， 使我可以回答那讥诮我的人。
12A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the thoughtless pass on, and are punished.
12通达人见祸藏躲； 愚蒙人前往受害。
13Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; and hold him in pledge that is surety for an alien woman.
13谁为生人作保，就拿谁的衣服； 谁为外女 作保 ，谁就承当。
14He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
14清晨起来，大声给朋友祝福的， 就算是咒诅他。
15A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike;
15大雨之日连连滴漏， 和争吵的妇人一样；
16He that would hide her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand betrayeth itself.
16想拦阻她的，便是拦阻风， 也是右手抓油。
17Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
17铁磨铁，磨出刃来； 朋友相感也是如此。
18Whoso keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit thereof; and he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
18看守无花果树的，必吃树上的果子； 敬奉主人的，必得尊荣。
19As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
19水中照脸，彼此 相符 ； 人与人，心也 相对 。
20The nether-world and Destruction are never satiated; so the eyes of man are never satiated.
20阴间和灭亡永不满足； 人的眼目也是如此。
21The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, and a man is tried by his praise.
21鼎为炼银，炉为炼金， 人的称赞也 试炼 人。
22Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar with a pestle among groats, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
22你虽用杵将愚妄人与打碎的麦子一同捣在臼中， 他的愚妄还是离不了他。
23Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds;
23你要详细知道你羊群的景况， 留心料理你的牛群；
24For riches are not for ever; and doth the crown endure unto all generations?
24因为资财不能永有， 冠冕岂能存到万代？
25When the hay is mown, and the tender grass showeth itself, and the herbs of the mountains are gathered in;
25干草割去，嫩草发现， 山上的菜蔬也被收敛。
26The lambs will be for thy clothing, and the goats the price for a field.
26羊羔 之毛 是为你作衣服； 山羊是为作田地的价值，
27And there will be goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household; and maintenance for thy maidens.
27并有母山羊奶够你吃， 也够你的家眷吃， 且够养你的婢女。
