舊約 -- 箴言(Proverbs) -- 第12章
12:1 喜愛管教的,就是喜愛知識。恨惡責備的,卻是畜類。
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
12:2 善人必蒙耶和華的嗯惠。設詭計的人,耶和華必定他得罪。
A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
12:3 人靠惡行不能堅立。義人的根,必不動搖。
A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
12:4 才德的婦人,是丈夫的冠冕。貽羞的婦人,如同朽爛在他丈夫的骨中。
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
12:5 義人的思念是公平。惡人的計謀是詭詐。
The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
12:6 惡人的言論,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.
12:7 惡人傾覆,歸于無有。義人的家,必站得住。
The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
12:8 人必按自己的智慧被稱贊。心中乖謬的,必被藐視。
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
12:9 被人輕賤,卻有仆人,強如自尊,缺少食物。
He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
12:10 義人顧惜他牲畜的命。惡人的憐憫,也是殘忍。
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
12:11 耕種自己田地的,必得飽食。追隨虛浮的,卻是無知。
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
12:12 惡人想得壞人的網(wǎng)羅。義人的根,得以結實。
The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
12:13 惡人嘴中的過錯,是自己的網(wǎng)羅。但義人必脫離患難。
The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
12:14 人因口所結的果子,必飽得美福。人手所作的,必為自己的報應。
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
12:15 愚妄人所行的,在自己的眼中看為正直。惟智慧人,肯聽人的勸教。
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
12:16 愚妄人的惱怒,立時顯露。通達人能忍辱藏羞。
A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
12:17 說出真話的,顯明公義。作假見證的,顯出詭詐。
He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
12:18 說話浮躁的,如刀刺人。智慧人的舌頭,卻為醫(yī)人的良藥。
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
12:19 口吐真言,永遠堅立。舌說謊話,只存片時。
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
12:20 圖謀惡事的,心存詭詐。勸人和睦的,便得喜樂。
Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
12:21 義人不遭災害惡人滿受禍患。
There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
12:22 說謊言的嘴,為耶和華所憎惡。行事誠實的,為他所喜悅。
Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
12:23 通達人隱藏知識。愚昧人的心,彰顯愚昧。
A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
12:24 殷勤人的手必掌權。懶惰的人必服苦。
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
12:25 人心憂慮,屈而不伸。一句良言,使心歡樂。
Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
12:26 義人引導他的鄰舍。惡人的道,叫人失迷。
The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
12:27 懶惰的人,不烤打獵所得的。殷勤的人,卻得寶貴的財物。
The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
12:28 在公義的道上有生命。其路之中,并無死亡。
In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
