【箴言篇】第三十章 << 上一章下一章 >>

30:1 玛萨人雅刻之子阿古尔的格言，即他给依提耳、给依提耳和乌加耳的断语：
The words of Agur, son of Jakeh the Massaite: The pronouncement of mortal man: "I am not God; I am not God, that I should prevail.

30:2 我比谁都愚蠢，没有人的才智。
Why, I am the most stupid of men, and have not even human intelligence;

30:3 我从来没有学得智慧，致能通晓圣者的知识。
Neither have I learned wisdom, nor have I the knowledge of the Holy One.

30:4 谁曾上升过天而又降下﹖谁能将风收集在手中﹖谁能将水聚集在大衣内﹖谁为这大地立定了边界﹖他叫什么名字﹖其子姓甚名谁﹖你知道吗﹖
Who has gone up to heaven and come down again ? who has cupped the wind in his hands? Who has bound up the waters in a cloak ? who has marked out all the ends of the earth? What is his name, what is his son’s name, if you know it?"

30:5 天主的每一句话，都是经火精炼的；凡托庇于他的人，他必要作其护盾。
Every word of God is tested; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

30:6 对他所说的话，不可加添什么；免得他指责你，证明你在说谎。
Add nothing to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be exposed as a deceiver.

30:7 我求你两件事，在我未死以前，请不要拒绝我：
Two things I ask of you, deny them not to me before I die:

30:8 令虚伪和欺诈远离我，贫乏或富裕勿赐与我，只供予我必需的食粮，
Put falsehood and lying far from me, give me neither poverty nor riches;

30:9 免得我吃饱了，背叛你说：「谁是上主﹖」或是过于贫乏，因而行窃，加辱我天主的名。
Lest, being full, I deny you, saying, "Who is the LORD?" Or, being in want, I steal, and profane the name of my God.

30:10 别在主人前，诽谤他的奴仆，怕他咒骂你，你就不免受罚。
Slander not a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you have to pay the penalty.

30:11 有一种人，咒骂父亲；自己母亲，也不降福。
There is a group of people that curses its father, and blesses not its mother.

30:12 有一种人，自视清高；自身污秽，却不洗涤。
There is a group that is pure in its own eyes, yet is not purged of its filth.

30:13 有一种人，眼睛傲慢，目空一切。
There is a group ?how haughty their eyes! how overbearing their glance!

30:14 有一种人，牙如利剑，齿如快刀，地上弱小，人间贫民，吞食一空。
There is a group whose incisors are swords, whose teeth are knives, Devouring the needy from the earth, and the poor from among men.

30:15 水蛭有两个女儿，常说「给我!给我!」不知足的东西，共有三样，总不说「够了」的，共有四样：
The two daughters of the leech are, "Give, Give." Three things are never satisfied, four never say, "Enough!"

30:16 即阴府、荒胎、总饮不足水的地，和总不说「够了」的火。
The nether world, and the barren womb; the earth, that is never saturated with water, and fire, that never says, "Enough!"

30:17 谁嘲笑父亲，或轻视年老的母亲，愿他的眼睛，被谷中的乌鸦啄去，为小鹰所食。
The eye that mocks a father, or scorns an aged mother, Will be plucked out by the ravens in the valley; the young eagles will devour it.

30:18 令我称奇的事，共有三样，连我不明了的，共有四样：
Three things are too wonderful for me, yes, four I cannot understand:

30:19 即鹰在天空飞翔的道，蛇在岩石爬行的道，船在海中航行的道，以及男女交合之道。
The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a rock, The way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a maiden.

30:20 淫妇的作风是这样：她吃了后，抹抹口说：「我并没有为非作歹。」
Such is the way of an adulterous woman: she eats, wipes her mouth, and says, "I have done no wrong."

30:21 使地战栗的事，共有三样，连不可容忍的，共有四样：
Under three things the earth trembles, yes, under four it cannot bear up:

30:22 即奴隶为王，愚人饱食，
Under a slave when he becomes king, and a fool when he is glutted with food;

30:23 丑女出嫁，婢女当家。
Under an odious woman when she is wed, and a maidservant when she displaces her mistress.

30:24 地上的小动物中，有四种极其聪明：
Four things are among the smallest on the earth, and yet are exceedingly wise:

30:25 蚂蚁是无力的一群，却在夏日储备食粮；
Ants ?a species not strong, yet they store up their food in the summer;

30:26 岩狸是无能的一群，却在岩石中筑巢穴；
Rock-badgers ?a species not mighty, yet they make their home in the crags;

30:27 蝗虫虽然没有君王，却知一齐列队出发；
Locusts ?they have no king, yet they migrate all in array;

30:28 壁虎能用手来捕捉，却经常出入于皇宫。
Lizards ?you can catch them with your hands, yet they find their way into king’s palaces.

30:29 举止昂然之物，共有三样，连威仪赫赫的，共有四样：
Three things are stately in their stride, yes, four are stately in their carriage:

30:30 即兽中称雄的狮子，面临一切从不退缩；
The lion, mightiest of beasts, who retreats before nothing;

30:31 独步鸡群中的雄鸡，开头领队的公山羊，和检阅人民的君王。
The strutting cock, and the he-goat, and the king at the head of his people.

30:32 你一时糊涂，高举了自己，当你反省时，应以手掩口；
If you have foolishly been proud or presumptuous ?put your hand on your mouth;

30:33 因为搅动乳汁，可出奶油；用力扭鼻，可流鲜血；激起愤怒，必生争端。
For the stirring of milk brings forth curds, and the stirring of anger brings forth blood.
