【箴言篇】第十五章 << 上一章下一章 >>

15:1 温和的回答，平息忿怒；激昂的言语，使人动怒。
A mild answer calms wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

15:2 智慧者的舌，广传智慧；愚昧人的口，吐露愚昧。
The tongue of the wise pours out knowledge, but the mouth of fools spurts forth folly.

15:3 上主的眼目，处处都在；善人和恶人，他都监视。
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.

15:4 抚慰的言辞，有如生命树；刻薄的言语，能刺伤人心。
A soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse one crushes the spirit.

15:5 愚蠢的人，轻视父亲的管教；遵守规劝的，为人必精明。
The fool spurns his father’s admonition, but prudent is he who heeds reproof.

15:6 在义人家里，财产丰富；恶人的收入，必遭毁灭。
In the house of the just there are ample resources, but the earnings of the wicked are in turmoil.

15:7 智慧人的唇，散播智识；愚昧人的心，实不可靠。
The lips of the wise disseminate knowledge, but the heart of fools is perverted.

15:8 上主厌恶恶人的祭献，却喜悦正直人的祈祷。
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

15:9 上主厌恶恶人的道路，却喜爱追求正义的人。
The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but he loves the man who pursues virtue.

15:10 离弃正道的，必遭严罚；憎恨规劝的，只有死亡。
Severe punishment is in store for the man who goes astray; he who hates reproof will die.

15:11 阴府和冥域，都明摆在上主面前，何况世人的心怀!
The nether world and the abyss lie open before the LORD; how much more the hearts of men!

15:12 轻狂者不爱受人指责，也不愿与智慧人往来。
The senseless man loves not to be reproved; to wise men he will not go.

15:13 心中愉快，使面容焕发；心中悲伤，使精神颓丧。
A glad heart lights up the face, but by mental anguish the spirit is broken.

15:14 明达人的心，寻求智识；愚昧人的口，饱食昏愚。
The mind of the intelligent man seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on folly.

15:15 心情忧伤的，日日困坐愁城；心胸畅快的，时时如享喜宴。
Every day is miserable for the depressed, but a lighthearted man has a continual feast.

15:16 少有财宝而敬畏上主，胜于富有财宝而诸多烦恼。
Better a little with fear of the LORD than a great fortune with anxiety.

15:17 有情吃蔬菜，胜于无情食肥牛。
Better a dish of herbs where love is than a fatted ox and hatred with it.

15:18 易怒的人，常引起争端；含忍的人，却平息争论。
An ill-tempered man stirs up strife, but a patient man allays discord.

15:19 懒惰人的道路，有如荆棘篱笆；正直人的行径，却是康庄大道。
The way of the sluggard is hemmed in as with thorns, but the path of the diligent is a highway.

15:20 智慧的儿子，是父亲的喜乐；只有愚昧人，轻视自己的母亲。
A wise son makes his father glad, but a fool of a man despises his mother.

15:21 无知的人，以愚昧为乐；明智的人，却直道而行。
Folly is joy to the senseless man, but the man of understanding goes the straight way.

15:22 缺乏考虑，计划必要失败；谋士众多，策略方克有成。
Plans fail when there is no counsel, but they succeed when counselors are many.

15:23 应对得当，自觉快慰；言语适时，何其舒畅!
There is joy for a man in his utterance; a word in season, how good it is!

15:24 生命之路使明智人向上，为此他能避免向下的阴府。
The path of life leads the prudent man upward, that he may avoid the nether world below.

15:25 上主将拆毁骄傲人的房屋，却要坚定寡妇的地界。
The LORD overturns the house of the proud, but he preserves intact the widow’s landmark.

15:26 邪恶的阴谋，为上主所憎恶；温良的言语，却为他所喜悦。
The wicked man’s schemes are an abomination to the LORD, but the pure speak what is pleasing to him.

15:27 贪求财货的，困扰自己的家庭；憎恶馈赠的，生活必能安定。
He who is greedy of gain brings ruin on his own house, but he who hates bribes will live.

15:28 义人的心，只默思善事；恶人的口，只吐露恶语。
The just man weighs well his utterance, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil.

15:29 上主远离恶人，却俯听义人的祈祷。
The LORD is far from the wicked, but the prayer of the just he hears.

15:30 晶莹的目光，使人心旷神怡；美好的讯息，使人筋骨壮健。
A cheerful glance brings joy to the heart; good news invigorates the bones.

15:31 喜听有益生命劝戒的人，必得列于智慧人中。
He who listens to salutary reproof will abide among the wise.

15:32 避免教导的，是作贱自己；听从规劝的，必获得机智。
He who rejects admonition despises his own soul, but he who heeds reproof gains understanding.

15:33 敬畏上主，是智慧的导师；谦卑自下，是荣耀的先声。
The fear of the LORD is training for wisdom, and humility goes before honors.
