箴言 知恵の泉 12
Japanese Living Bible
12 人の言うことを聞く気がある人は、
知識を得ることができます。
叱責に耳をふさぐ者は愚か者です。
2 主は正しい人を祝福し、悪人を罰します。
3 悪いことをして成功する者はいません。
成功するのは正しい人だけです。
4 良い妻は夫の誇り。
悪い妻は夫に肩身のせまい思いをさせ、
事ごとに足を引っ張ります。
5 正しい人の考えは正直一筋ですが、
悪人はうそと偽りでこり固まっています。
6 悪人は人を責め、神を恐れる人は人をかばいます。
7 悪人の家は必ず滅び、
正しい人の家は最後まで存続します。
8 見識のある人は、だれからも称賛され、
ひねくれ者はみんなに軽蔑されます。
9 高慢で働きもせず、食べるにも事欠くより、
目立たない仕事でもまじめに働き、
食にありつくほうがまさっています。
10 正しい人は自分の家畜にまで細かく気を配ります。
しかし神を恐れない人は、
うわべは親切そうでも思いやりがありません。
11 こつこつ働けば生活は楽になります。
怠けて遊んでいるのは愚か者だけです。
12 曲がった者は仲間の分け前まで欲しがり、
正しい人は自分の物をなげうってでも人を助けます。
13 うそをつくとあとで苦しみますが、
正直者にはそんな心配はありません。
14 ほんとうのことを言う人も、
こつこつ働く人も必ず報われます。
15 愚か者は忠告を無視し、
知恵ある人は人のことばに耳を傾けます。
16 愚か者はすぐ怒り、
知恵ある人は侮辱されても冷静です。
17 正しい人かどうかは正直さでわかり、
不誠実な人はうそと欺きでわかります。
18 批評好きは人を傷つけますが、
知恵ある人のことばは慰め、いやします。
19 真実はいつまでも変わらず、
うそで塗り固めたものはすぐにはがれ落ちます。
20 悪いことを企む者は、
人をだますことで頭がいっぱいです。
しかし、良いことをする人は、
いつも喜びに満たされています。
21 正しい人はどんな災いにも会わず、
悪者には苦しみがつきまといます。
22 主は約束を守る人を愛しますが、
約束を破る人はきらいです。
23 知恵ある人は知っていても黙っていますが、
愚か者は言いふらして、愚かさをさらけ出します。
24 勤勉な人は指導者になり、
怠け者はいつまでたっても成功しません。
25 どんなに沈んでいる人も、
励ましのひと言で心が軽くなります。
26 正しい人は友の助言を求めますが、
悪者は軽率に突き進んで失敗します。
27 無精者は、捕らえた獲物を料理するのも面倒がります。
しかし勤勉な人は、見つけた物は少しもむだにせず、
うまく利用します。
28 神を信じる人はいのちの道を歩いているので、
死を恐れることがありません。
Proverbs 12
King James Version
Proverbs 12
King James Version
12 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
2 A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.
23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
28 In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

12 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but whoever hates correction is stupid.(A)
3 No one can be established through wickedness,
but the righteous cannot be uprooted.(D)
4 A wife of noble character(E) is her husband’s crown,
but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.(F)
5 The plans of the righteous are just,
but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
but the speech of the upright rescues them.(G)
8 A person is praised according to their prudence,
and one with a warped(J) mind is despised.
9 Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant
than pretend to be somebody and have no food.
10 The righteous care for the needs of their animals,(K)
but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
11 Those who work their land will have abundant food,
but those who chase fantasies have no sense.(L)
12 The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers,
but the root of the righteous endures.
14 From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things,(O)
and the work of their hands brings them reward.(P)
17 An honest witness tells the truth,
but a false witness tells lies.(V)
19 Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
20 Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil,
but those who promote peace have joy.(Y)
21 No harm overtakes the righteous,(Z)
but the wicked have their fill of trouble.
24 Diligent hands will rule,
but laziness ends in forced labor.(AF)
25 Anxiety weighs down the heart,(AG)
but a kind word cheers it up.
26 The righteous choose their friends carefully,
but the way of the wicked leads them astray.(AH)
27 The lazy do not roast[a] any game,
but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.
28 In the way of righteousness there is life;(AI)
along that path is immortality.
