【德训篇】第六章 << 上一章下一章 >>

6:1 不要因言语不慎，将友谊变成仇恨；因为，有恶名的人，必蒙羞受辱；一口两舌的罪人，也是如此。
Say nothing harmful, small or great; be not a foe instead of a friend; A bad name and disgrace will you acquire: "That for the evil man with double tongue!"

6:2 不要放纵你的情欲，免得你的情欲，因了糊涂，像牛犊一样，消耗你的气力；
Fall not into the grip of desire, lest, like fire, it consume your strength;

6:3 吃尽你的叶子，摧残你的果实，拋弃你，如同一棵旷野里的枯树。
Your leaves it will eat, your fruits destroy, and you will be left a dry tree,

6:4 邪恶的情欲，要灭绝怀有情欲的人，使他成为仇人的话柄，使他的命运与不虔敬者相同。
For contumacious desire destroys its owner and makes him the sport of his enemies.

6:5 亲切温柔的言语，能使友人增多，并能感化仇人；同情的话，能使友好的往来敦厚。
A kind mouth multiplies friends, and gracious lips prompt friendly greetings.

6:6 与你要好的人应多，然而作你参谋的，只千中取一。
Let your acquaintances be many, but one in a thousand your confidant.

6:7 如要交友，先要考验，不要立刻信任他。
When you gain a friend, first test him, and be not too ready to trust him

6:8 因为有的人，只是一时的朋友；在你困难的日子，就不见了。
For one sort of friend is a friend when it suits him, but he will not be with you in time of distress.

6:9 有的朋友，一旦变成仇人，就把你争执的事和仇恨，泄露出来，为凌辱你。
Another is a friend who becomes an enemy, and tells of the quarrel to your shame.

6:10 有的人是酒肉朋友，在你困难的日子，就不见了。
Another is a friend, a boon companion, who will not be with you when sorrow comes.

6:11 你幸福的时候，他和你同心，对你的仆婢，也任意使唤；
When things go well, he is your other self, and lords it over your servants;

6:12 若你遭了难，他就翻脸攻击你，回避你。但对于良好的友谊，你应恒一不变。
But if you are brought low, he turns against you and avoids meeting you.

6:13 你当远离你的仇人，慎重对待你的朋友。
Keep away from your enemies; be on your guard with your friends.

6:14 忠实的朋友，是稳固的保障；谁寻得了他，就是寻得了宝藏。
A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; he who finds one finds a treasure.

6:15 忠实的朋友，是无价之宝，他的高贵无法衡量：金银也比不上他忠实的美好。
A faithful friend is beyond price, no sum can balance his worth.

6:16 忠实的朋友，是生命和不死的妙药；惟有敬畏上主的人，才能寻得。
A faithful friend is a life-saving remedy, such as he who fears God finds;

6:17 敬畏上主的人，才有真正的友谊，因为他怎样，他的朋友也怎样。
For he who fears God behaves accordingly, and his friend will be like himself.

6:18 我儿，从你幼年时起，就应接受教训；如此，直到老年，必能寻得智慧。
My son, from your youth embrace discipline; thus will you find wisdom with graying hair.

6:19 你要亲近她，就如耕田和播种的人，等待她的美果；
As though plowing and sowing, draw close to her; then await her bountiful crops.

6:20 因为，你用智慧去工作，用功不久，很快就可吃她的出产。
For in cultivating her you will labor but little, and soon you will eat of her fruits.

6:21 智慧为不肯受教的人，是酸苦的；愚昧的人，不会与智慧常久相处，
How irksome she is to the unruly! The fool cannot abide her.

6:22 因为，智慧有如放在愚昧人身上的重石，他决不会迟延拋弃她。
She will be like a burdensome stone to test him, and he will not delay in casting her aside.

6:23 原来智慧的含义，正如她的名字，许多人不明白；但认识她的人，她必与他相处，直到天主面前。
For discipline is like her name, she is not accessible to many.

6:24 我儿，你当听取和接受我的智谋，不要拒绝我的忠告。
Listen, my son, and heed my advice; refuse not my counsel.

6:25 把她的脚镣扣在你的脚上，将她的枷锁套在你的颈上。
Put your feet into her fetters, and your neck under her yoke.

6:26 要放低你的肩膀，肩起她来，不要因她的束缚而烦恼。
Stoop your shoulders and carry her and be not irked at her bonds.

6:27 要全心亲近她，全力遵循她的道路。
With all your soul draw close to her; with all your strength keep her ways.

6:28 要研究她，寻求她，她必把自己显示给你；你一得了她，总不要离弃她；
Search her out, discover her; seek her and you will find her. Then when you have her, do not let her go;

6:29 因为，你终究要在她内寻着平安，她必变成你的喜乐。
Thus will you afterward find rest in her, and she will become your joy.

6:30 于是，她的脚镣，要成为你有力的护卫，坚固的基础；她的枷锁，要成为你光荣的服饰。
Her fetters will be your throne of majesty; her bonds, your purple cord.

6:31 她有黄金的美丽，她的束缚有如紫红的织品。在她内，有生命的美丽；她的桎梏是有益的束缚。
You will wear her as your robe of glory, bear her as your splendid crown.

6:32 你要穿上她，作你美丽的服装；戴上她，作你喜乐的冠冕。
My son, if you wish, you can be taught; if you apply yourself, you will be shrewd.

6:33 我儿，你若愿意，就可受教；你若专心，就会明智。
If you are willing to listen, you will learn; if you give heed, you will be wise.

6:34 你若爱听，就必得到智慧；你若侧耳静听，必成为智慧的人。
Frequent the company of the elders; whoever is wise, stay close to him.

6:35 你当常居于明智的长老之中，遇到有智慧的人，你应结识他。凡是天主的言语，你都要喜欢恭听；对明哲的格言，不要轻忽。
Be eager to hear every godly discourse; let no wise saying escape you.

6:36 假使你看见一个有智慧的人，你要及早前去拜访，你的脚要磨光他的门限。
If you see a man of prudence, seek him out; let your feet wear away his doorstep!

6:37 你当默想上主的诫命，时常留心他的法令；如此他必会坚固你的心，赐给你所希望的智慧。
Reflect on the precepts of the LORD, let his commandments be your constant meditation; Then he will enlighten your mind, and the wisdom you desire he will grant.
