【箴言篇】第十章 << 上一章下一章 >>

10:1 智慧的儿子使父亲喜乐；愚昧的儿子，使母亲忧愁。
The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes his father glad, but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.

10:2 不义之财，毫无益处；惟有正义，救人脱免死亡。
Ill-gotten treasures profit nothing, but virtue saves from death.

10:3 上主不忍义人受饥，却使恶人大失所望。
The LORD permits not the just to hunger, but the craving of the wicked he thwarts.

10:4 游手好闲，使人贫穷；勤奋工作，使人富有。
The slack hand impoverishes, but the hand of the diligent enriches.

10:5 夏季贮蓄的，是明智的孩童；秋收酣睡的是无耻的儿子。
A son who fills the granaries in summer is a credit; a son who slumbers during harvest, a disgrace.

10:6 上主的降福在义人头上，灾祸却使恶人哑口无言。
Blessings are for the head of the just, but a rod for the back of the fool.

10:7 义人受人怀念降福，恶人却必身败名裂。
The memory of the just will be blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.

10:8 心灵智慧的人，必接受命令；饶舌的愚妄的人，必自招丧亡。
A wise man heeds commands, but a prating fool will be overthrown.

10:9 走正路的，行路稳妥；走邪路的，终必败露。
He who walks honestly walks securely, but he whose ways are crooked will fare badly.

10:10 暗中挤眼的人，必引人烦恼；坦然规劝的人，必促进和平。
He who winks at a fault causes trouble, but he who frankly reproves promotes peace.

10:11 义人的口，是生命的泉源；恶人的口，是残暴的渊薮。
A fountain of life is the mouth of the just, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

10:12 仇恨引起争端，爱情遮掩一切过失。
Hatred stirs up disputes, but love covers all offenses.

10:13 有见识的口唇上，可找着智慧；棍杖只是为打缺乏智慧者的脊背。
On the lips of the intelligent is found wisdom, (but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence).

10:14 智慧的人，隐讳自己的学问；愚昧人的口，招致逼近的丧亡。
Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool is imminent ruin.

10:15 富人的财富，是他自己的坚城；穷人的零落，却是他们的贫乏。
The rich man’s wealth is his strong city; the ruination of the lowly is their poverty.

10:16 义人的薪金，用以维持生活；恶人的收入，却只用来犯罪。
The just man’s recompense leads to life, the gains of the wicked, to sin.

10:17 谁遵守劝告，必走向生命之路；谁轻视规劝，必自误入迷途。
A path to life is his who heeds admonition, but he who disregards reproof goes astray.

10:18 撒谎的唇舌，必暗藏仇恨；散播谣言的，必是愚昧人。
It is the lips of the liar that conceal hostility; but he who spreads accusations is a fool.

10:19 多言难免无过，明智的人必约束自己的唇舌。
Where words are many, sin is not wanting; but he who restrains his lips does well.

10:20 义人的舌，贵若纯金；恶人的心，贱似草芥。
Like choice silver is the just man’s tongue; the heart of the wicked is of little worth.

10:21 义人的唇舌教育群众，愚人必因缺乏心智而死亡。
The just man’s lips nourish many, but fools die for want of sense.

10:22 使人致富的，是上主的降福；营营的辛劳，却无补于事。
It is the LORD’s blessing that brings wealth, and no effort can substitute for it.

10:23 愚昧人乐于作恶，明哲人乐于求智。
Crime is the entertainment of the fool; so is wisdom for the man of sense.

10:24 恶人畏惧的，反向他侵袭；义人的希望，终获得应允。
What the wicked man fears will befall him, but the desire of the just will be granted.

10:25 暴风雨一过，恶人不复存在；义人却根深蒂固。
When the tempest passes, the wicked man is no more; but the just man is established forever.

10:26 懒汉之于派遣他的人，就如醋之于牙，烟之于目。
As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, is the sluggard to those who use him as a messenger.

10:27 敬畏上主，将延年益寿；恶人的岁月，必要短缩。
The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked are brief.

10:28 义人的期待，终归是喜乐；恶人的希望，终归是失望。
The hope of the just brings them joy, but the expectation of the wicked comes to nought.

10:29 上主的道路，是正人君子的保障；为作恶的人，却是灭亡。
The LORD is a stronghold to him who walks honestly, but to evildoers, their downfall.

10:30 义人永不会动摇，恶人决不会久留地上。
The just man will never be disturbed, but the wicked will not abide in the land.

10:31 义人的口，散播智慧；邪恶的舌，必被铲除。
The mouth of the just yields wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.

10:32 义人的唇，常吐雅言；恶人的口，只说邪恶。
The lips of the just know how to please, but the mouth of the wicked, how to pervert.
