【箴言篇】第十二章 << 上一章下一章 >>

12:1 喜爱受教的人，必喜爱智慧；憎恨规劝的人，真是糊涂。
He who loves correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.

12:2 善心的人，必得上主喜悦；心术邪恶的人，必受降罚。
The good man wins favor from the LORD, but the schemer is condemned by him.

12:3 没有人作恶而能稳立，唯有义人的根基永不动摇。
No man is built up by wickedness, but the root of the just will never be disturbed.

12:4 贤能的妻子，是她丈夫的冠冕；无耻的妻子，宛如丈夫骨中的腐蚀。
A worthy wife is the crown of her husband, but a disgraceful one is like rot in his bones.

12:5 义人思念公正，恶人计划诡谲。
The plans of the just are legitimate; the designs of the wicked are deceitful.

12:6 恶人的言谈，是流血的陷阱；义人的口舌，设法搭救他人。
The words of the wicked are a deadly ambush, but the speech of the upright saves them.

12:7 恶人一旦倾覆，便不复存在；义人的家室，却得以久存。
The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the just stands firm.

12:8 人凭自己的识见，获得赞美；但心地邪辟的人，必受轻视。
According to his good sense a man is praised, but one with a warped mind is despised.

12:9 一个自给自足的平民，比爱排场而缺食的人，更为可贵。
Better a lowly man who supports himself than one of assumed importance who lacks bread.

12:10 义人珍惜禽兽的生命，恶人的心肠残忍刻薄。
The just man takes care of his beast, but the heart of the wicked is merciless.

12:11 自耕其地的人，必得饱食；追求虚幻的人，实属愚昧。
He who tills his own land has food in plenty, but he who follows idle pursuits is a fool.

12:12 邪恶的想望，是恶人的罗网；义人的根基，却永不动摇。
The stronghold of evil men will be demolished, but the root of the just is enduring.

12:13 恶人失口，自寻苦恼；义人却能幸免受累。
In the sin of his lips the evil man is ensnared, but the just comes free of trouble.

12:14 人必饱尝自己口舌的果实，必按自己的行为获得报应。
From the fruit of his words a man has his fill of good things, and the work of his hands comes back to reward him.

12:15 愚昧的人，常以为自己的道路正直；但明智的人，却常听从劝告。
The way of the fool seems right in his own eyes, but he who listens to advice is wise.

12:16 愚昧的人，立时显出自己的愤怒；机智的人，却忍辱而不外露。
The fool immediately shows his anger, but the shrewd man passes over an insult.

12:17 吐露真情，是彰显正义；作假见证，是自欺欺人。
He tells the truth who states what he is sure of, but a lying witness speaks deceitfully.

12:18 出言不慎，有如利刃伤人；智者的口，却常疗愈他人。
The prating of some men is like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise is healing.

12:19 讲实话的唇舌，永垂不朽；说谎话的舌头，瞬息即逝。
Truthful lips endure forever, the lying tongue, for only a moment.

12:20 图谋恶事的，心怀欺诈；策划和平的，必得喜乐。
Deceit is in the hands of those who plot evil, but those who counsel peace have joy.

12:21 义人常无往不利，恶人却备受灾殃。
No harm befalls the just, but the wicked are overwhelmed with misfortune.

12:22 欺诈的唇舌，为上主所深恶；行事诚实的，才为他所中悦。
Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who are truthful are his delight.

12:23 机智的人，使自己的才学深藏不露；心中愚昧的人，只会彰显自己的愚蠢。
A shrewd man conceals his knowledge, but the hearts of fools gush forth folly.

12:24 勤劳的手，必要掌权；懒慢的手，只有服役。
The diligent hand will govern, but the slothful will be enslaved.

12:25 忧郁使人心消沉，良言使人心快活。
Anxiety in a man’s heart depresses it, but a kindly word makes it glad.

12:26 义人给自己的友伴指示道路，恶人的行动却引人误入歧途。
The just man surpasses his neighbor, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

12:27 懒惰的人，无米为炊；勤劳的人，腰缠万贯。
The slothful man catches not his prey, but the wealth of the diligent man is great.

12:28 正义的路，导向生命；邪恶的路，引人丧亡。
In the path of justice there is life, but the abominable way leads to death.
