【箴言篇】第二十九章 << 上一章下一章 >>

29:1 人若屡受谴责，仍然顽固，他必突然丧亡，无法挽救。
The man who remains stiff-necked and hates rebuke will be crushed suddenly beyond cure.

29:2 义人执政，人民喜庆；恶人专权，人民叹息。
When the just prevail, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.

29:3 喜爱智慧的，使父亲喜悦；寻花问柳的，必倾家荡产。
He who loves wisdom makes his father glad, but he who consorts with harlots squanders his wealth.

29:4 君王秉公行义，必将兴邦；但若暴敛横征，必将丧邦。
By justice a king gives stability to the land; but he who imposes heavy taxes ruins it.

29:5 对自己的友伴阿谀的人，是在他脚下张设罗网。
The man who flatters his neighbor is spreading a net under his feet.

29:6 作恶的人，满路绊索；正义的人，载欣载奔。
The wicked man steps into a snare, but the just man runs on joyfully.

29:7 义人关注穷人的案情，但是恶人却毫不知情。
The just man has a care for the rights of the poor; the wicked man has no such concern.

29:8 轻狂的人，煽动城市作乱；明智的人，设法挽回狂澜。
Arrogant men set the city ablaze, but wise men calm the fury.

29:9 智愚争辩，或怒或笑，终无结果。
If a wise man disputes with a fool, he may rage or laugh but can have no peace.

29:10 嗜杀的人，常憎恨正人君子；正直的人，却关怀他的性命。
Bloodthirsty men hate the honest man, but the upright show concern for his life.

29:11 愚人忿怒，必尽情发泄；明智的人，必自知抑制。
The fool gives vent to all his anger; but by biding his time, the wise man calms it.

29:12 作首长的，如听信谗言，他的臣仆，必尽属小人。
If a ruler listens to lying words, his servants all become wicked.

29:13 穷人与压迫者彼此相遇，二者皆由主获得光明。
The poor and the oppressor have a common bond: the LORD gives light to the eyes of both.

29:14 君王如秉公审判穷人，他的宝座必永久稳立。
If a king is zealous for the rights of the poor, his throne stands firm forever.

29:15 杖责与惩戒，赐予人智慧；娇纵的孩子，使母亲受辱。
The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a boy left to his whims disgraces his mother.

29:16 恶人掌权，罪恶随之增多；正义的人，必亲见其崩溃。
When the wicked prevail, crime increases; but their downfall the just will behold.

29:17 惩戒你的儿子，他必使你安心，令你心旷神怡。
Correct your son, and he will bring you comfort, and give delight to your soul.

29:18 神视缺乏时，人民必放纵；遵守法律的，才蒙受降福。
Without prophecy the people become demoralized; but happy is he who keeps the law.

29:19 要纠正奴才，不宜用言语；即使他明白，他仍不服从。
By words no servant can be trained; for he understands what is said, but obeys not.

29:20 你是否见过信口开河的人﹖寄望于愚人胜于寄望于他。
Do you see a man hasty in his words? More can be hoped for from a fool!

29:21 对奴才自幼加以娇养，他日后终必反仆为主。
If a man pampers his servant from childhood, he will turn out to be stubborn.

29:22 易怒的人，极易引起纷争；性急的人，必犯很多过错。
An ill-tempered man stirs up disputes, and a hotheaded man is the cause of many sins.

29:23 骄傲自大，使人屈辱；虚心谦下，使人受荣。
Man’s pride causes his humiliation, but he who is humble of spirit obtains honor.

29:24 谁与盗贼合伙，实是痛恨自己；他虽听见诅咒，却不敢发一言。
The accomplice of a thief is his own enemy: he hears himself put under a curse, yet discloses nothing.

29:25 对人畏惧，必陷入羁绊；信赖上主，必获得安全。
The fear of man brings a snare, but he who trusts in the LORD is safe.

29:26 许多人寻求王侯的慈惠，但每人的判决出自上主。
Many curry favor with the ruler, but the rights of each are from the LORD.

29:27 为非作歹的人，为义人所憎恶；行为正直的人，为恶人所憎恶。
The evildoer is an abomination to the just, and he who walks uprightly is an abomination to the wicked.
