< 箴言 12 >
1 喜爱管教的,就是喜爱知识; 恨恶责备的,却是畜类。
Whoso loveth knowledge loveth correction; but he that is brutish hateth reproof.
2 善人必蒙耶和华的恩惠; 设诡计的人,耶和华必定他的罪。
A good man shall obtain favour of the LORD; but a man of wicked devices will He condemn.
A man shall not be established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall never be moved.
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。
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that doeth shamefully is as rottenness in his bones.
The thoughts of the righteous are right; but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
6 恶人的言论是埋伏流人的血; 正直人的口必拯救人。
The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
The wicked are overthrown, and are not; but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 人必按自己的智慧被称赞; 心中乖谬的,必被藐视。
A man shall be commended according to his intelligence; but he that is of a distorted understanding shall be despised.
Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that playeth the man of rank, and lacketh bread.
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 耕种自己田地的,必得饱食; 追随虚浮的,却是无知。
He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; but he that followeth after vain things is void of understanding.
The wicked desireth the prey of evil men; but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
13 恶人嘴中的过错是自己的网罗; 但义人必脱离患难。
In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; but the righteous cometh out of trouble.
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。
A 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.
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。
The way of a fool is straight in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
A fool's vexation is presently known; but a prudent man concealeth shame.
17 说出真话的,显明公义; 作假见证的,显出诡诈。
He that breatheth forth truth uttereth righteousness; but a false witness deceit.
18 说话浮躁的,如刀刺人; 智慧人的舌头却为医人的良药。
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.
The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20 图谋恶事的,心存诡诈; 劝人和睦的,便得喜乐。
Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
There shall no mischief befall the righteous; but the wicked are filled with evil.
22 说谎言的嘴为耶和华所憎恶; 行事诚实的,为他所喜悦。
Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD; but they that deal truly are His delight.
A prudent man concealeth knowledge; but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful shall be under tribute.
Care in the heart of a man boweth it down; but a good word maketh it glad.
The righteous is guided by his friend; but the way of the wicked leadeth them astray.
27 懒惰的人不烤打猎所得的; 殷勤的人却得宝贵的财物。
The slothful man shall not hunt his prey; but the precious substance of men is to be diligent.
In the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
