箴言 知恵の泉 14
Japanese Living Bible
14 知恵のある女は自分の家を建て、
愚かな女は自分の家を自分で壊します。
2 正しいこととは主をたたえること、
罪を犯すことは主をさげすむことです。
3 高慢な者はむだ口をたたいて自分の尊厳を傷つけ、
知恵のある人は役に立つことを語って
人から尊敬されます。
4 働かなければ、
手を汚さない代わりに収入もありません。
5 真実な証人はうそをつかず、
偽りの証人はうそを語ります。
6 人をさげすむ者に知恵は寄りつかず、
思慮のある人には、知恵のほうからやって来ます。
7 正しい忠告をもらいたいなら、
愚か者を相手にしてはなりません。
8 知恵のある人は先を見越し、
愚か者は自分をごまかして事実を直視しません。
9 神の教えに背く者たちは過ちを犯し、
神を恐れる者たちは人を思いやります。
10 悲しみも喜びも、真にわかるのはその人自身で、
他の人が完全に共有することはできません。
11 悪者の働きは失敗し、
神を恐れる人だけが成功します。
12 だれでも、広く歩きやすい道が正しい道と考えますが、
それは死に通じる道です。
13 笑っても苦しみは隠せません。
笑ったあと、悲しみがそのまま残っています。
14 信仰をなくした人は自分に嫌気がさしますが、
神を恐れる人の生活には活気があります。
15 わきまえのない人は言われたことを鵜呑みにし、
慎重な人は将来をよく考えて行動します。
16 賢い人は用心深く危険を避け、
愚か者は自信満々につき進みます。
17 短気な人は愚かなことをし、
忍耐強い人をきらいます。
18 愚か者は愚かさを報いとして得ますが、
賢い人は知識を得ます。
19 悪人は、いつかは神を恐れる人に
頭を下げることになります。
20 貧しい人は隣近所にさえ相手にされず、
金持ちは友に不自由しません。
21 貧しい人を軽蔑してはいけません。
貧しい人に親切にすれば、自分も幸せになります。
22 悪いことを企む者は道に迷い、
良いことを計画する人は神に愛されて安全です。
23 まじめに働けば収入は増え、
むだ話ばかりしていると貧しくなります。
24 知恵のある人は知恵をほめられ、
愚か者は愚かさを軽蔑されます。
25 真実を言う証人は
無実の罪をはらしてくれますが、
偽りの証人は平気で人を裏切ります。
26 神を恐れる人は頑健で、
子どもたちは安心して、その人に頼ります。
27 主を恐れることはいのちの泉です。
その水を飲めば生きる力がわいてきます。
28 民が増えるのは王にとって栄光であり、
民が減るのは王座の揺らぐしるしです。
29 利口な人は腹を立てるのは愚かだと知っているので、
自分の感情を抑えます。
30 心がおおらかだと長生きし、
激しやすい人は寿命を縮めます。
31 貧しい人をいじめるのは、
その人たちを造った神をさげすむこと、
貧しい人を助けるのは神をほめたたえることです。
32 神を信じる人には、
死ぬ時にも心の拠り所がありますが、
悪者は罪に押しつぶされます。
33 知恵は聡明な人の心に住み、
愚か者がそれを聞くには
大声で叫ばなければなりません。
34 神を敬うことは国を高め、
罪は民をおとしめます。
35 やるべきことを心得ている召使は王に好かれ、
やっかいな召使は王の怒りを買います。
Proverbs 14
New International Version
Proverbs 14
New International Version
14 The wise woman builds her house,(A)
but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.
2 Whoever fears the Lord walks uprightly,
but those who despise him are devious in their ways.
4 Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty,
but from the strength of an ox(D) come abundant harvests.
5 An honest witness does not deceive,
but a false witness pours out lies.(E)
6 The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none,
but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.(F)
7 Stay away from a fool,
for you will not find knowledge on their lips.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways,(G)
but the folly of fools is deception.(H)
9 Fools mock at making amends for sin,
but goodwill is found among the upright.
10 Each heart knows its own bitterness,
and no one else can share its joy.
13 Even in laughter(M) the heart may ache,
and rejoicing may end in grief.
15 The simple believe anything,
but the prudent give thought to their steps.(P)
17 A quick-tempered person(S) does foolish things,(T)
and the one who devises evil schemes is hated.(U)
18 The simple inherit folly,
but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19 Evildoers will bow down in the presence of the good,
and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.(V)
20 The poor are shunned even by their neighbors,
but the rich have many friends.(W)
22 Do not those who plot evil go astray?(Z)
But those who plan what is good find[a] love and faithfulness.
23 All hard work brings a profit,
but mere talk leads only to poverty.
24 The wealth of the wise is their crown,
but the folly of fools yields folly.(AA)
25 A truthful witness saves lives,
but a false witness is deceitful.(AB)
26 Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress,(AC)
and for their children it will be a refuge.(AD)
28 A large population is a king’s glory,
but without subjects a prince is ruined.(AG)
29 Whoever is patient has great understanding,(AH)
but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.(AI)
30 A heart at peace gives life to the body,
but envy rots the bones.(AJ)
31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker,(AK)
but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.(AL)
32 When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down,(AM)
but even in death the righteous seek refuge in God.(AN)
33 Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning(AO)
and even among fools she lets herself be known.[b]
34 Righteousness exalts a nation,(AP)
but sin condemns any people.
35 A king delights in a wise servant,
but a shameful servant arouses his fury.(AQ)

The Ways of Life and Death
14 The wise woman builds her house,
But the foolish pulls it down with her hands.
2 He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,
(A)But he who is perverse in his ways despises Him.
3 In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride,
(B)But the lips of the wise will preserve them.
4 Where no oxen are, the [a]trough is clean;
But much increase comes by the strength of an ox.
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it,
But (E)knowledge is easy to him who understands.
7 Go from the presence of a foolish man,
When you do not perceive in him the lips of (F)knowledge.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way,
But the folly of fools is deceit.
10 The heart knows its own bitterness,
And a stranger does not share its joy.
11 (H)The house of the wicked will be overthrown,
But the tent of the upright will flourish.
13 Even in laughter the heart may sorrow,
And (L)the end of mirth may be grief.
14 The backslider in heart will be (M)filled with his own ways,
But a good man will be satisfied [c]from (N)above.
15 The simple believes every word,
But the prudent considers well his steps.
16 (O)A wise man fears and departs from evil,
But a fool rages and is self-confident.
17 A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,
And a man of wicked intentions is hated.
18 The simple inherit folly,
But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19 The evil will bow before the good,
And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 (P)The poor man is hated even by his own neighbor,
But [d]the rich has many (Q)friends.
21 He who despises his neighbor sins;
(R)But he who has mercy on the poor, happy is he.
22 Do they not go astray who devise evil?
But mercy and truth belong to those who devise good.
23 In all labor there is profit,
But [e]idle chatter leads only to poverty.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches,
But the foolishness of fools is folly.
26 In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence,
And His children will have a place of refuge.
27 (T)The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
To turn one away from the snares of death.
28 In a multitude of people is a king’s honor,
But in the lack of people is the downfall of a prince.
31 (X)He who oppresses the poor reproaches (Y)his Maker,
But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.
32 The wicked is banished in his wickedness,
But (Z)the righteous has a refuge in his death.
33 Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding,
But (AA)what is in the heart of fools is made known.
35 (AC)The king’s favor is toward a wise servant,
But his wrath is against him who causes shame.
