【德训篇】第三十三章 << 上一章下一章 >>

33:1 敬畏上主的，决不会遭遇凶恶；受诱惑时，上主必一再保全他，由凶恶中拯救他。
No evil can harm the man who fears the LORD; through trials, again and again he is safe.

33:2 明智人不憎恶法律和正义；佯守法律的人，却像一只在波涛中飘荡的船。
He who hates the law is without wisdom, and is tossed about like a boat in a storm.

33:3 聪明人信赖天主的法律，法律也忠于他，犹如乌陵的神谕。
The prudent man trusts in the word of the LORD, and the law is dependable for him as a divine oracle.

33:4 解答问题时，先要准备应说的话；如此，人才听你；先将教训综合起来，然后才可作答。
Prepare your words and you will be listened to; draw upon your training, and then give your answer.

33:5 愚人的心，好象车轮；他的思念，好似旋转的轮轴。
Like the wheel of a cart is the mind of a fool; his thoughts revolve in circles.

33:6 好嘲弄人的朋友，就如见了牝马的牡马，任何人骑它，它总是嘶鸣不已。
A fickle friend is like the stallion that neighs, no matter who the rider.

33:7 为什么这一天胜过那一天，虽然一年内，每天的光明，都是来自太阳﹖
Why is one day more important than another, when it is the sun that lights up every day?

33:8 太阳造成以后，循规蹈矩，因上主的智慧，日子才有了区别，
It is due to the LORD’s wisdom that they differ; it is through him the seasons and feasts come and go.

33:9 他规定了不同的时令和季节，以便在那些时节内，依时庆祝一些节日：
Some he dignifies and sanctifies, and others he lists as ordinary days.

33:10 他将一些日子，提高列为圣日；将其余的日子，则列为平日。众人都是从土来的，因为，亚当就是用土造成的。
So too, all men are of clay, for from earth man was formed;

33:11 上主以自己的绝大智慧，使众人各有分别，使他们的道路各有不同。
Yet with his great knowledge the LORD makes men unlike; in different paths he has them walk.

33:12 他们中有被他降福而抬举的，有被他祝圣，然后引他们亲近自己的；但也有被他诅咒和贬抑，从本位上被推翻的。
Some he blesses and makes great, some he sanctifies and draws to himself. Others he curses and brings low, and expels them from their place.

33:13 有如泥土在陶工手里，可以任意捏造处置；
Like clay in the hands of a potter, to be molded according to his pleasure, So are men in the hands of their Creator, to be assigned by him their function.

33:14 要做什么样式，都系于陶工的意思；同样，人在创造者手里，上主照自己的决定，来处理他们。
As evil contrasts with good, and death with life, so are sinners in contrast with the just;

33:15 善与恶相对，生与死相峙，罪人也与虔敬人敌对：请看至高者的一切化工：无不两两相对，一一对立。
See now all the works of the Most High: they come in pairs, the one the opposite of the other.

33:16 最后我也醒悟了，来搜集箴言，如同在收获葡萄的人后面，拾取残余的人；
Now I am the last to keep vigil, like a gleaner after the vintage;

33:17 蒙上主的降福，我预先着手工作，也像收获葡萄的人一样，填满了我的榨酒池。
Since by the LORD’s blessing I have made progress till like a vintager I have filled my wine press,

33:18 请注意!我不是单为我自己劳苦，也是为一切寻求教导的人。
I would inform you that not for myself only have I toiled, but for every seeker after wisdom.

33:19 你们为民众官长的，请听我的话；你们为集会首领的，请侧耳静听。
Listen to me, O leaders of the multitude; O rulers of the assembly, give ear!

33:20 几时你还在世上，不要将你的权柄，交给儿子、妻子、兄弟和朋友，也不要将你的产业，交与别人，怕你将来后悔，而有求于他们。
Let neither son nor wife, neither brother nor friend, have power over you as long as you live.

33:21 当你还活着，气息尚存的时候，不要让任何人支配你。
While breath of life is still in you, let no man have dominion over you. Give not to another your wealth, lest then you have to plead with him;

33:22 你的子女有求于你，胜于你望着你子女的手。
Far better that your children plead with you than that you should look to their generosity.

33:23 在你所行的一切事上，你应作主，
Keep control over all your affairs; let no one tarnish your glory.

33:24 不要污辱你的荣誉。在你寿命结束之日，在你快要去世之时，应分清你的遗产：
When your few days reach their limit, at the time of death distribute your inheritance.

33:25 草料、棍杖、驮重，是属于驴的；面包、训戒、劳作，是属于仆人的。
Fodder and whip and loads for an ass; the yoke and harness and the rod of his master.

33:26 你要吩咐他工作，这样你就可以放心；若你放任他，他就要找寻自由自在。
Food, correction and work for a slave; and for a wicked slave, punishment in the stocks.

33:27 轭与皮鞭，可以屈服强硬的颈项；不断的工作，可以使仆人柔顺。
Make a slave work and he will look for his rest; let his hands be idle and he will seek to be free.

33:28 对待恶仆只有鞭打和刑罚；要使他们操作，不得空闲，
Force him to work that he be not idle, for idleness is an apt teacher of mischief.

33:29 因为，空闲教给人许多坏事。
Put him to work, for that is what befits him; if he becomes unruly, load him with chains.

33:30 要给他指定与他相宜的工作；若他不服从，就叫他带脚镣；但对于任何人不要过分。未审度以先，什么重大的事也不要做。
But never lord it over any human being, and do nothing unjust.

33:31 你若有一个忠信的仆人，对待他要如同对待你自己一样，因为他是你用血汗换来的；要待他如同兄弟，因为你需要他，正如需要你自己一样。
If you have but one slave, treat him like yourself, for you have acquired him with your life’s blood;

33:32 若你待他不好，他必要逃跑；
If you have but one slave, deal with him as a brother, for you need him as you need your life:

33:33 若他傲然离去，你向谁去追问；你不知道，你在那条路上去寻找他。
If you mistreat him and he runs away, in what direction will you look for him?
