ソロモンの箴言

10 ソロモンの教訓。

知恵のある子を持つ人は幸せですが、
愚かな子は母親にとって悲しみでしかありません。
悪いことをしてもうけた金はすぐになくなります。
どこまでも正しく生きることが幸福のかぎです。
正しく生きている人を、主は飢えさせません。
悪人は、せっかくもうけた金を
主に取り上げられます。
怠ければたちまち貧しくなり、
一生懸命働けば財産ができます。
利口な若者は陽の高いうちに干し草を作り、
恥知らずの若者は、
いざというとき平気で居眠りしています。
正しい人は、頭のてっぺんから
足のつま先まで祝福され、
悪人は心の中で不運をのろいます。
正しい人のことを思い出すのは楽しいものです。
しかし悪人の名前は、思い出すだけでも不愉快です。
知恵のある人は喜んで人から教わり、
愚か者は知ったかぶりをして失敗します。
正しい人はしっかりした足どりで歩き、
ひねくれ者はすべって転びます。
10 罪を見て見ぬふりをすると、
悲しみをもたらします。
しかし思いきって注意すれば、平和がもたらされます。
11 正しい人は相手の役に立つことばかりを語り、
悪人は人をのろうことしか知りません。
12 憎しみはいつも争いを起こし、
愛は裏切られても相手を赦します。
13 わきまえのある人は
適切な助言をして人に称賛され、
わきまえのない人はひどい扱いを受けます。
14 知恵のある人はことば数が少なく、
愚か者は知っていることを洗いざらい
しゃべり続けます。
そのため、不幸と災難ををかかえ込むのです。
15 金持ちは自分の財産に頼り、
貧しい人はひたすら自分の貧困をのろいます。
16 正しい人はもうけたお金を生かして使い、
悪人はお金を手に入れると、ますます悪いことをします。
17 進んで誤りを指摘してもらう人はいのちの道を歩み、
忠告を聞かない者は、
またとないチャンスを逃がします。
18 ひそかに人を憎むのはうそつき、
あからさまに中傷するのは愚か者です。
19 ことば数が多いと失敗します。
配慮をもって話す人が、
ほんとうに知恵ある人です。
20 正しい人の言うことは聞く値打があります。
愚か者の言うことは聞くだけむだです。
21 神を信じる正しい人は、有益なことを語り、
かたくなに信じない者は、
何もわからないまま死んでいきます。
22 主に祝福されることほどすばらしい富はありません。
人間は、どんなにがんばっても、
この富に少しでも加えることはできません。
23 愚か者の楽しみは悪事を働くこと、
知恵ある人の楽しみは知恵を増すことです。
24 悪人が恐れることはすべてそのとおり起こり、
正しい人が望むことはみな、
そのとおりかなえられます。
25 災いは竜巻のように襲いかかり、
あっという間に悪人を巻き上げます。
しかし、正しい人には重い錨があるので安心です。
26 煙が目にしみ、酢で歯が不快になるように、
怠け者は雇い主の悩みの種です。
27 主を敬う人の毎日は充実していますが、
悪者の一生は全くむなしいものです。
28 正しい人の望みは永遠の幸せにつながり、
悪者の期待はむなしく消えます。
29 主は正しく生きる人を守り、
悪者は滅ぼしてしまいます。
30 正しい人は必ず神に祝福され、
悪者は何もかも失います。
31 正しい人は、よく考えてから忠告します。
だれも、うそつきの言うことなど聞きません。
32 正しく生きる人は役に立つことを話し、
悪者は何にでも反対します。

10 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.

21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.

27 The fear of the Lord prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

29 The way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.

31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.

32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
