【箴言篇】第十三章 << 上一章下一章 >>

13:1 智慧之子，听从父亲的教训；轻狂的人，不听任何人规劝。
A wise son loves correction, but the senseless one heeds no rebuke.

13:2 义人必饱尝自己口舌的果实，恶人的欲望只有饱食强暴。
From the fruit of his words a man eats good things, but the treacherous one craves violence.

13:3 谨口慎言，方能自保性命；信口开河，终必自取灭亡。
He who guards his mouth protects his life; to open wide one’s lips brings downfall.

13:4 懒人虽常盼望，却一无所得；勤劳的人，却常如愿以偿。
The soul of the sluggard craves in vain, but the diligent soul is amply satisfied.

13:5 义人憎恶谎言，恶人令人可憎可恶。
Anything deceitful the just man hates, but the wicked brings shame and disgrace.

13:6 正义保卫行为正直的人，邪恶却使罪人灭亡。
Virtue guards one who walks honestly, but the downfall of the wicked is sin.

13:7 有人自充富人，其实一贫如洗；有人佯作穷人，其实腰缠万贯。
One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.

13:8 富人的钱财只是性命的赎价，穷人却没有这样的威胁。
A man’s riches serve as ransom for his life, but the poor man heeds no rebuke.

13:9 义人的光明，必要高升；恶人的灯火，势必熄灭。
The light of the just shines gaily, but the lamp of the wicked goes out.

13:10 傲慢只有引起争端，虚心受教的人才有智慧。
The stupid man sows discord by his insolence, but with those who take counsel is wisdom.

13:11 傥来之物，容易消逝；经久积存，日渐增多。
Wealth quickly gotten dwindles away, but amassed little by little, it grows.

13:12 希望迟不兑现，令人心神烦恼；愿望获得满足，是株生命树。
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a wish fulfilled is a tree of life.

13:13 谁轻视法令，必遭灭亡；谁敬畏诫命，必得安全。
He who despises the word must pay for it, but he who reveres the commandment will be rewarded.

13:14 智慧人的教训是生命的泉源，人可赖以脱免死亡的罗网。
The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, that a man may avoid the snares of death.

13:15 明哲的规劝，使人蒙恩，残暴人的举止，粗鲁蛮横。
Good sense brings favor, but the way of the faithless is their ruin.

13:16 精明的人，常按理智行事；愚昧的人，只自夸其糊涂。
The shrewd man does everything with prudence, but the fool peddles folly.

13:17 奸妄的使者，使人陷于灾祸；忠诚的使者，给人带来安和。
A wicked messenger brings on disaster, but a trustworthy envoy is a healing remedy.

13:18 拒绝规劝的，必遭贫苦羞辱；接受惩戒的，反要受人尊敬。
Poverty and shame befall the man who disregards correction, but he who heeds reproof is honored.

13:19 愿望获得满足，能使心灵愉快；远离邪恶，却为愚昧人所深恶。
Lust indulged starves the soul, but fools hate to turn from evil.

13:20 与智慧人往来，可成智慧人；与愚昧人作伴，必受其连累。
Walk with wise men and you will become wise, but the companion of fools will fare badly.

13:21 恶运追踪罪人，义人却得善报。
Misfortune pursues sinners, but the just shall be recompensed with good.

13:22 善人为子子孙孙留下产业，罪人的财富是为义人积蓄。
The good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the just.

13:23 穷人开垦的田地，生产大量食物；谁若缺乏正义，定不免于灭亡。
A lawsuit devours the tillage of the poor, but some men perish for lack of a law court.

13:24 不肯使用棍杖的人，实是恨自己的儿子；真爱儿子的人，必时加以惩罚。
He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him takes care to chastise him.

13:25 义人必得饱食，恶人无以果腹。
When the just man eats, his hunger is appeased; but the belly of the wicked suffers want.
