【德训篇】第十四章 << 上一章下一章 >>

14:1 口不失言，又问心无愧的，是有福的人。
Happy the man whose mouth brings him no grief, who is not stung by remorse for sin.

14:2 不受良心谴责，而又不失望的，是有福的人。
Happy the man whose conscience does not reproach him, who has not lost hope.

14:3 财产为吝啬的人，没有好处；嫉妒的人虽有黄金，又有什么用﹖
Wealth ill becomes the mean man; and to the miser, of what use is gold?

14:4 过于俭省的人，是替人积蓄；他的财物，必被人浪费。
What he denies himself he collects for others, and in his possessions a stranger will revel.

14:5 虐待自己的，怎能善待他人﹖他决不会享受他自己的财物。
To whom will he be generous who is stingy with himself and does not enjoy what is his own?

14:6 没有比吝啬而自残的人，更为卑劣；这是他自作孽的报应。
None is more stingy than he who is stingy with himself; he punishes his own miserliness.

14:7 纵使他行了善事，也是出于偶然，并非自愿，最后，他的邪恶终于暴露。
If ever he is generous, it is by mistake; and in the end he displays his greed.

14:8 吝啬人见人就嫉妒，转脸轻视人。
In the miser’s opinion his share is too small;

14:9 贪得无厌的眼睛，看自己所得的一份，总是不够；不义的恶毒，麻木了他的心灵。
he refuses his neighbor and brings ruin on himself.

14:10 贪得无厌的人，吝惜饮食，他的餐桌上，几乎一无所有。
The miser’s eye is rapacious for bread, but on his own table he sets it stale.

14:11 我儿，该按你所有，好待你自己，并向上主奉献相称的祭品。
My son, use freely whatever you have and enjoy it as best you can;

14:12 要记住：死亡决不迟延，阴府的约期，你又无从得知。
Remember that death does not tarry, nor have you been told the grave’s appointed time.

14:13 未死以前，你要厚待你的朋友，按你的力量，伸手加惠于他。
Before you die, be good to your friend, and give him a share in what you possess.

14:14 不应取消你佳节的喜乐，连一点好希望，也不要轻易放过。
Deprive not yourself of present good things, let no choice portion escape you.

14:15 难道你把你劳碌所得的留给别人﹖难道把你辛苦所得的，叫别人抽签分得﹖
Will you not leave your riches to others, and your earnings to be divided by lot?

14:16 你要施舍，也要收受，总要使你的心灵愉快。
Give, take, and treat yourself well, for in the nether world there are no joys to seek.

14:17 死前你应履行正义，因为在阴府里，无福可寻。
All flesh grows old, like a garment; the age-old law is: All must die.

14:18 凡有血肉的，有如衣服，逐渐陈旧，因为自古以来的定案是：你一定要死；又如葱茏的树上发的枝叶，
As with the leaves that grow on a vigorous tree: one falls off and another sprouts ? So with the generations of flesh and blood: one dies and another is born.NAB-CREF: Eccl 1:4

14:19 有雕零的，有发芽的，有血肉的种类也是如此：这人死去，那人出生。
All man’s works will perish in decay, and his handiwork will follow after him.

14:20 各种腐败的工程，毕竟都要被遗弃，它的作者也要随之而去；
Happy the man who meditates on wisdom, and reflects on knowledge;

14:21 但一切优良的事业，必为人所公认，它的作者也要与它共享光荣。
Who ponders her ways in his heart, and understands her paths;

14:22 凡默思智慧，常注视明智，并思念天主鉴临的是有福的人
Who pursues her like a scout, and lies in wait at her entry way;

14:23 他心中思念智慧的途径，想了解她的奥秘。他彷佛一个侦探，追随在她的后边，潜伏在她的路口，
Who peeps through her windows, and listens at her doors;

14:24 从她的窗外窥视，在她的门口倾听，
Who encamps near her house, and fastens his tent pegs next to her walls;

14:25 贴近她的房屋休息，在她的墙上钉上木橛，以便在她旁边，搭起自己的帐幕，而在那幸福的房舍内永久安息。
Who pitches his tent beside her, and lives as her welcome neighbor;

14:26 他把自己的儿女，安置在智慧的荫庇下，要在她的枝叶下留宿，
Who builds his nest in her leafage, and lodges in her branches;

14:27 在她的阴凉下避暑，在她的光荣中安息。
Who takes shelter with her from the heat, and dwells in her home.
