Proverbs 19
1 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
ただしく歩むまづしき者は くちびるの悖れる愚なる者に愈る
2 It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor being hasty with one’s feet and missing the way.
心に思慮なければ善らず 足にて急ぐものは道にまよふ
3 The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against the LORD.
人はおのれの痴によりて道につまづき 反て心にヱホバを怨む
4 Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.
資財はおほくの友をあつむ されど貧者はその友に疎まる
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
虚偽の證人は罰をまぬかれず 謊言をはくものは避るることをえず
6 Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
君に媚る者はおほし 凡そ人は贈物を與ふる者の友となるなり
7 All the relatives of the poor shun him; how much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
貧者はその兄弟すらも皆これをにくむ 况てその友これに遠ざからざらんや 言をはなちてこれを呼とも去てかへらざるなり
8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
智慧を得る者はおのれの霊魂を愛す 聰明をたもつ者は善福を得ん
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.
虚偽の證人は罰をまぬかれず 謊言をはく者はほろぶべし
10 Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
愚なる者の驕奢に居るは適当からず 况て僕にして上に在る者を治むることをや
11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
聰明は人に怒をしのばしむ 過失を宥すは人の榮譽なり
12 The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
王の怒は獅の吼るが如く その恩典は草の上におく露のごとし
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.
愚なる子はその父の災禍なり 妻の相爭そふは雨漏のたえぬにひとし
14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
家と資財とは先祖より承嗣ぐもの 賢き妻はヱホバより賜ふものなり
15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
懶惰は人を酣寐せしむ 懈怠人は饑べし
16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
誡命を守るものは自己の霊魂を守るなり その道をかろむるものは死ぬべし
17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD; he will reward him.
貧者をあはれむ者はヱホバに貸すなり その施濟はヱホバ償ひたまはん
18 Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.
望ある間に汝の子を打て これを殺すこころを起すなかれ
19 A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
怒ることの烈しき者は罰をうく 汝もしこれを救ふともしばしば然せざるを得じ
20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.
なんぢ勸をきき訓をうけよ 然ばなんぢの終に智慧あらん
21 There are many plans in a man’s heart, but the LORD’s counsel will prevail.
人の心には多くの計畫あり されど惟ヱホバの旨のみ立べし
22 That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.
人のよろこびは施濟をするにあり 貧者は謊人に愈る
23 The fear of the LORD leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
ヱホバを畏るることは人をして生命にいたらしめ かつ恒に飽足りて災禍に遇ざらしむ
24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
惰者はその手を盤にいるるも之をその口に擧ることをだにせず
25 Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
嘲笑者を打て さらば拙者も愼まん 哲者を譴めよ さらばかれ知識を得ん
26 He who robs his father and drives away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
父を煩はし母を逐ふは羞赧をきたらし凌辱をまねく子なり
27 If you stop listening to instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
わが子よ哲言を離れしむる敎を聽くことを息めよ
28 A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
惡き證人は審判を嘲り 惡者の口は惡を呑む
29 Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
審判は嘲笑者のために備へられ 鞭は愚なる者の背のために備へらる
