【德训篇】第四十一章 << 上一章下一章 >>

41:1 死亡啊!纪念你，为那安享自己财富的，
O death! how bitter the thought of you for the man at peace amid his possessions, For the man unruffled and always successful, who still can enjoy life’s pleasures.

41:2 为那无忧无虑，一切顺适，还能享受口福的人，是多么辛酸!
O death! how welcome your sentence to the weak man of failing strength, Tottering and always rebuffed, with no more sight, with vanished hope.

41:3 死亡啊!你的定案，为那贫困的，力衰的，
Fear not death’s decree for you; remember, it embraces those before you, and those after.

41:4 年纪老迈的，事事操心的，厌倦无望的人，是多么美好!
Thus God has ordained for all flesh; why then should you reject the will of the Most High? Whether one has lived a thousand years, a hundred, or ten, in the nether world he has no claim on life.

41:5 不要怕死亡的定案，要想想你以前和你以后的人；这是上主对一切有血肉之人所下的定案，
A reprobate line are the children of sinners, and witless offspring are in the homes of the wicked.

41:6 至高者看着好的事，你为什么要反对﹖你不论活十年，百年或千年，
Their dominion is lost to sinners' children, and reproach abides with their descendants.

41:7 在阴府里，对生命的长短，再没有怨尤。
Children curse their wicked father, for they suffer disgrace through him.

41:8 罪人的子女，为人所憎恶，他们经常与不虔敬的人相处。
Woe to you, O sinful men, who forsake the law of the Most High.

41:9 罪人的子女必会倾家败产，他们的子孙常蒙羞受辱。
If you have children, calamity will seize them; you will beget them only for groaning. When you stumble, there is lasting joy; at death, you become a curse.

41:10 子女必怨恨不虔敬的父亲，因为为了他，他们才蒙羞受辱。
Whatever is of nought returns to nought, so too the godless from void to void.

41:11 你们不虔敬的人，是有祸的!因为你们背弃了至高者天主的法律。
Man’s body is a fleeting thing, but a virtuous name will never be annihilated.

41:12 你们生在世上，是为受咒骂而生；你们死去，咒骂仍是你们的产业。
Have a care for your name, for it will stand by you better than precious treasures in the thousands;

41:13 凡从土来的，必归于土；生于诅咒的不虔敬的人，必归于丧亡。
The boon of life is for limited days, but a good name, for days without number.

41:14 人们对死者的遗体举行丧礼，罪人的臭名必被涂去。
My children, heed my instruction about shame; judge of disgrace only according to my rules, For it is not always well to be ashamed, nor is it always the proper thing to blush:

41:15 你应注意你的名誉，因为名誉与你相处，久于千万黄金巨宝。
Before father and mother be ashamed of immorality, before master and mistress, of falsehood;

41:16 优越的生活，日子是有限的；但良好的名誉，却流芳百世。
Before prince and ruler, of flattery; before the public assembly, of crime;

41:17 我儿，你们要安心遵守纪律。隐藏的智慧，和看不见的宝贝，二者究竟有什么用﹖
Before friend and companion, of disloyalty, and of breaking an oath or agreement.

41:18 隐瞒自己糊涂的人，比隐瞒自己智慧的人还好。
Be ashamed of theft from the people where you settle, and of stretching out your elbow when you dine;

41:19 我儿，现在你要听我论羞愧所要说的话：
Of refusing to give when asked, of defrauding another of his appointed share,

41:20 因为不是每一种羞愧，都应当称许；也不是每一种害羞，都是合理的。
Of failing to return a greeting, and of rebuffing a friend;

41:21 你们在父母前，对于奸淫的事，应该羞愧；在王侯和有权势的人前，对于说谎的事，应该羞愧；
Of gazing at a married woman, and of entertaining thoughts about another’s wife; Of trifling with a servant girl you have, and of violating her couch;

41:22 在判官和领袖前，对于犯罪的事，应该羞愧；在集会和民众前，对于犯法的事，应该羞愧；
Of using harsh words with friends, and of following up your gifts with insults;

41:23 在伴侣和朋友前，对于不义的事，应该羞愧；在你们所住的地方，对于偷窃的事，应该羞愧；
Of repeating what you hear, and of betraying secrets ?

41:24 应为忘记天主的真理和盟约的事而羞愧；应将肘放在食桌上而羞愧；应为你在赐予或接受礼物时，对人藐视而羞愧；
These are the things you should rightly avoid as shameful if you would be looked upon by everyone with favor.

41:25 应为你不理向你请安的人而羞愧；应为观看淫妇而羞愧；应为不顾亲属而羞愧；

41:26 应为转面不顾你的近人，拿了别人的东西却不归还而羞愧；

41:27 应为凝视别人的妇女而羞愧；应为对你的婢女分外献殷勤，甚或走近她的床前而羞愧；

41:28 应为你对朋友出言不恭，对加惠与人后又责斥人而羞愧；
