圣母玫瑰园-思高圣经 

【德训篇】第三十七章  << 上一章 下一章 >>

37:1 凡是朋友都说：我结交了朋友；但有的朋友，却是有名无实的朋友。
Every friend declares his friendship, but there are friends who are friends in name only.
37:2 如果同伴或朋友，变成了仇人，岂不是一件悲伤至死的事﹖
Is it not a sorrow unto death when your bosom companion becomes your enemy?
37:3 噢!这邪恶的偏向!你是从那里闯进来的，你想用凶恶和欺诈笼罩大地么﹖
"Alas, my companion! Why were you created to blanket the earth with deceit?"
37:4 有的同伴，在朋友幸福时，就与他同乐；在患难时，却变成了仇人。
A false friend will share your joys, but in time of trouble he stands afar off.
37:5 有的同伴，为了口腹之欲，与朋友分忧，共同执剑反抗敌人。
A true friend will fight with you against the foe, against your enemies he will be your shield-bearer.
37:6 你心里总不要忘记你真正的朋友，分派胜利品时，更不可忽略他。
Forget not your comrade during the battle, and neglect him not when you distribute your spoils.
37:7 不要与敌视你的人商议；对忌恨你的人，要隐瞒你的主意。
Every counselor points out a way, but some counsel ways of their own;
37:8 凡是参谋，都夸张自己的建议；但有的是为自己打算。
Be on the alert when one proffers advice, find out first of all what he wants. For he may be thinking of himself alone; why should the profit fall to him?
37:9 对建议者，你要留神：先要知道他需要什么──因为他心中也为自己着想──
He may tell you how good your way will be, and then stand by to watch your misfortune.
37:10 也许愿将命运寄托在你身上，
Seek no advice from one who regards you with hostility; from those who envy you, keep your intentions hidden.
37:11 而对你说：「你走的路不错，」但他却站在对面，看你会有什么结果。
Speak not to a woman about her rival, nor to a coward about war, to a merchant about business, to a buyer about value, to a miser about generosity, to a cruel man about mercy, to a lazy man about work, to a seasonal laborer about the harvest, to an idle slave about a great task: pay no attention to any advice they give.
37:12 和不虔敬的人，怎能讨论圣德﹖同不公道的人，如何能讨论正义﹖不要同妇女谈论她的情敌，不要同胆怯的人谈论作战的事，不要同商人谈论交易的事，不要同买主商议出卖的事，不要与负心人谈论感恩的事；
Instead, associate with a religious man, who you are sure keeps the commandments; Who is like-minded with yourself and will feel for you if you fall.
37:13 不要和残忍的人提到慈善的事，不要同放荡的人谈及廉节的事，不要和怠惰的人商议任何劳力的事；
Then, too, heed your own heart’s counsel; for what have you that you can depend on more?
37:14 不要和长年的佣工讨论年底的事，不要和懒惰的奴仆讨论繁重的工作：对这些人，在这一切事上，你不用作任何商议；
A man’s conscience can tell him his situation better than seven watchmen in a lofty tower.
37:15 只该同虔敬的人，常有来往，你知道他是遵守诫命的，
Most important of all, pray to God to set your feet in the path of truth.
37:16 他与你心心相印；你若不幸，在黑暗中跌倒了，他必与你分忧。
A word is the source of every deed; a thought, of every act.
37:17 你要保持良心提醒你的事，因为没有比你的良心更忠实的。
The root of all conduct is the mind; four branches it shoots forth:
37:18 善人的良心有时预告实情，远远胜于七个坐在高处观望的哨兵。
Good and evil, death and life, their absolute mistress is the tongue.
37:19 在这一切事上，你该祈求至高者，引领你走真理的道路。
A man may be wise and benefit many, yet be of no use to himself.
37:20 各种工作的开端，在于立志；但在进行各种事业以前，应商量。
Though a man may be wise, if his words are rejected he will be deprived of all enjoyment.
37:21 人心是各种智谋的根子，由此根子生出四条枝桠：善、恶、生、死；但全然统治这一切的，却是舌头。有的人精于教导许多人，但为他自己，却一无是处。
When a man is wise to his own advantage, the fruits of his knowledge are seen in his own person;
37:22 有的人精于教导许多人，而使自己也感到幸福，
When a man is wise to his people’s advantage, the fruits of his knowledge are enduring:
37:23 有的人诡辩，出言可恶，他必将缺乏各种食物。
Limited are the days of one man’s life, but the life of Israel is days without number.
37:24 上主没有给他口才的恩惠，因为他缺乏了各种智德。
One wise for himself has full enjoyment, and all who see him praise him;
37:25 有的人只为自己有智慧，他智慧的果实，只归他一人。
One wise for his people wins a heritage of glory, and his name endures forever.
37:26 贤明的人教导自己的民众；他智慧的成果，是恒久的。
My son, while you are well, govern your appetite so that you allow it not what is bad for you;
37:27 贤明的人满渥祝福，凡看见他的人，都称他有福。
For not every food is good for everyone, nor is everything suited to every taste.
37:28 人的生命是有数的几天，但以色列的岁月，却是无数的。
Be not drawn after every enjoyment, neither become a glutton for choice foods,
37:29 贤明的人在自己的民族中，享有光荣和信任，他的声誉千古流芳。
For sickness comes with overeating, and gluttony brings on biliousness.
37:30 我儿，在你的生活上，你应锻炼你的心灵，看见什么为它有害，就不要放任它。
Through lack of self-control many have died, but the abstemious man prolongs his life.
37:31 因为不是任何事，为所有的人都有益，也不是任何事，所有的人都喜欢。

37:32 在一切欢宴上，要有节制，对于一切食物，不要贪吃；

37:33 因为吃多了，容易积累成病，饮食过度，容易引起绞痛。

37:34 由于饮食过度，许多人丧了命，有节制的人，反而延长寿命。
