【德训篇】第十三章 << 上一章下一章 >>

13:1 凡触摸沥青的，必被沥青玷污；凡与骄傲人交接的，必为他所同化。
He who touches pitch blackens his hand; he who associates with an impious man learns his ways.

13:2 不要肩负超过你力量的重担；不要与那比你强大富有的人交接。
Bear no burden too heavy for you; go with no one greater or wealthier than yourself. How can the earthen pot go with the metal cauldron? When they knock together, the pot will be smashed:

13:3 瓦罐和铁锅怎能相交﹖铁锅一碰瓦罐，瓦罐就破碎了。
The rich man does wrong and boasts of it, the poor man is wronged and begs forgiveness.

13:4 富贵人侮辱了人，还怒不可遏；贫穷人受了侮辱，反得向人谢罪!
As long as the rich man can use you he will enslave you, but when you are exhausted, he will abandon you.

13:5 若你为他有用，他就利用你；若你一无所有，他就要拋弃你。
As long as you have anything he will speak fair words to you, and with smiles he will win your confidence;

13:6 若你富有，他就与你相处，即使耗尽了你的财产，也不惋惜。
When he needs something from you he will cajole you, then without regret he will impoverish you.

13:7 他需要你时，就欺骗你，向你媚笑，使你相信他，并大放厥辞，向你说：你缺少什么﹖
While it serves his purpose he will beguile you, then twice or three times he will terrify you; When later he sees you he will pass you by, and shake his head over you.

13:8 等到他再三剥削你以后，就用他的食物来羞辱你，最后还要嘲笑你；从此以后，几时见到你，就躲开你，还向你大摇其头。
Guard against being presumptuous; be not as those who lack sense.

13:9 你在天主面前要自谦，等待他的援手。
When invited by a man of influence, keep your distance; then he will urge you all the more.

13:10 小心不要受人诱惑；昌盛时，小心不要堕落。
Be not bold with him lest you be rebuffed, but keep not too far away lest you be forgotten.

13:11 你具有智慧，不要虚心谦让，怕你因示弱，而被人愚弄。
Engage not freely in discussion with him, trust not his many words; For by prolonged talk he will test you, and though smiling he will probe you.

13:12 若有权势的人召叫你，你当引退；如此，他反而更加招呼你。
Mercilessly he will make of you a laughingstock, and will not refrain from injury or chains.

13:13 不可强求，免得你被人赶走；但也不可远离他，免得你被人忘掉。
Be on your guard and take care never to accompany men of violence.

13:14 不要以平等方式与他讲话，也不要相信他那许多话，因为他要用许多言辞试探你，面带笑容，打听你的秘密。
Every living thing loves its own kind, every man a man like himself.

13:15 他是一个残忍的人，对你的话，决不保守秘密，也不惜用刑罚和锁链来处置你。
Every being is drawn to its own kind; with his own kind every man associates.

13:16 你该小心，对你听来的话务要谨慎，因为你是在丧亡的危险中行走。
Is a wolf ever allied with a lamb? So it is with the sinner and the just.

13:17 对你听见的事，当视为梦中事，但是你要小心提防。
Can there be peace between the hyena and the dog? Or between the rich and the poor can there be peace?

13:18 你一生该爱慕天主，呼号他拯救你。
Lion’s prey are the wild asses of the desert; so too the poor are feeding grounds for the rich.

13:19 一切动物都爱自己的同类；同样，人也各爱与自己相近的人。
A proud man abhors lowliness; so does the rich man abhor the poor.

13:20 一切生物都和自己的同类相交；人也各与自己相似的人交结。
When a rich man stumbles he is supported by a friend; when a poor man trips he is pushed down by a friend.

13:21 豺狼与羔羊，岂能有友谊﹖同样，罪人与义人，也不能有交情。
Many are the supporters for a rich man when he speaks; though what he says is odious, it wins approval. When a poor man speaks they make sport of him; he speaks wisely and no attention is paid him.

13:22 鬣狗与犬怎能相和﹖财主与穷人又怎能相安无事﹖
A rich man speaks and all are silent, his wisdom they extol to the clouds. A poor man speaks and they say: "Who is that?" If he slips they cast him down.

13:23 旷野里的野驴，是狮子的猎物；同样，贫穷人是财主的鱼肉。
Wealth is good when there is no sin; but poverty is evil by the standards of the proud.

13:24 骄傲人憎恨谦卑自下；同样，富贵人厌恶贫穷人。
The heart of a man changes his countenance, either for good or for evil.

13:25 富人一动摇，就有朋友来扶持；穷人一落魄，却为朋友所拋弃。
The sign of a good heart is a cheerful countenance; withdrawn and perplexed is the laborious schemer.

13:26 富人一失败，就有许多人来扶助，纵然他口出狂言，还以他为义人；

13:27 穷人一失败，反更受人责斥，虽然他说话条理分明，却无人理会。

13:28 富贵人一开口，众人都鸦雀无声，还把他的话高举云表；

13:29 贫穷人一发言，人就问：「他是什么人﹖」如果他一失言，人就把他推翻。

13:30 人良心上若没有罪过，财物才算美好；在不虔敬的人口里，贫穷是最坏的。

13:31 人向善或向恶的心，都能改变自己的面容。

13:32 春风满面是好心肠的凭据；寻求箴言，必要劳心思索。
