< 箴言 10 >

1 所罗门的箴言: 智慧之子使父亲欢乐; 愚昧之子叫母亲担忧。
Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causeth a father to rejoice, And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother.
2 不义之财毫无益处; 惟有公义能救人脱离死亡。
Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death.
3 耶和华不使义人受饥饿; 恶人所欲的,他必推开。
Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger, And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away.
4 手懒的,要受贫穷; 手勤的,却要富足。
Poor [is] he who is working — a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
5 夏天聚敛的,是智慧之子; 收割时沉睡的,是贻羞之子。
Whoso is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, Whoso is sleeping in harvest [is] a son causing shame.
6 福祉临到义人的头; 强暴蒙蔽恶人的口。
Blessings [are] for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.
7 义人的纪念被称赞; 恶人的名字必朽烂。
The remembrance of the righteous [is] for a blessing, And the name of the wicked doth rot.
8 心中智慧的,必受命令; 口里愚妄的,必致倾倒。
The wise in heart accepteth commands, And a talkative fool kicketh.
9 行正直路的,步步安稳; 走弯曲道的,必致败露。
Whoso is walking in integrity walketh confidently, And whoso is perverting his ways is known.
10 以眼传神的,使人忧患; 口里愚妄的,必致倾倒。
Whoso is winking the eye giveth grief, And a talkative fool kicketh.
11 义人的口是生命的泉源; 强暴蒙蔽恶人的口。
A fountain of life [is] the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.
12 恨能挑启争端; 爱能遮掩一切过错。
Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth.
13 明哲人嘴里有智慧; 无知人背上受刑杖。
In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding.
14 智慧人积存知识; 愚妄人的口速致败坏。
The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool [is] near ruin.
15 富户的财物是他的坚城; 穷人的贫乏是他的败坏。
The wealth of the rich [is] his strong city, The ruin of the poor [is] their poverty.
16 义人的勤劳致生; 恶人的进项致死。
The wage of the righteous [is] for life, The increase of the wicked for sin.
17 谨守训诲的,乃在生命的道上; 违弃责备的,便失迷了路。
A traveller to life [is] he who is keeping instruction, And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring.
18 隐藏怨恨的,有说谎的嘴; 口出谗谤的,是愚妄的人。
Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool.
19 多言多语难免有过; 禁止嘴唇是有智慧。
In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips [is] wise.
20 义人的舌乃似高银; 恶人的心所值无几。
The tongue of the righteous [is] chosen silver, The heart of the wicked — as a little thing.
21 义人的口教养多人; 愚昧人因无知而死亡。
The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.
22 耶和华所赐的福使人富足, 并不加上忧虑。
The blessing of Jehovah — it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it.
23 愚妄人以行恶为戏耍; 明哲人却以智慧为乐。
To execute inventions [is] as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding.
24 恶人所怕的,必临到他; 义人所愿的,必蒙应允。
The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given.
25 暴风一过,恶人归于无有; 义人的根基却是永久。
As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during.
26 懒惰人叫差他的人 如醋倒牙,如烟薰目。
As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So [is] the slothful to those sending him.
27 敬畏耶和华使人日子加多; 但恶人的年岁必被减少。
The fear of Jehovah addeth days, And the years of the wicked are shortened.
28 义人的盼望必得喜乐; 恶人的指望必致灭没。
The hope of the righteous [is] joyful, And the expectation of the wicked perisheth.
29 耶和华的道是正直人的保障, 却成了作孽人的败坏。
The way of Jehovah [is] strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity.
30 义人永不挪移; 恶人不得住在地上。
The righteous to the age is not moved, And the wicked inhabit not the earth.
31 义人的口滋生智慧; 乖谬的舌必被割断。
The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And the tongue of frowardness is cut out.
32 义人的嘴能令人喜悦; 恶人的口说乖谬的话。
The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness!
