箴言 14
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
敬畏 神大有倚靠
14 智慧婦人建立家室，
愚妄婦人親手拆毀。
2 行事正直的，敬畏耶和華；
行為乖僻的，卻藐視他。
3 愚妄人的口中長出驕傲的枝子；
智慧人的嘴唇，能保障自己。
4 沒有耕牛，槽頭乾淨；
出產豐盛，卻是憑著牛的力量。
5 誠實的證人不說謊話；
虛偽的證人吐出謊言。
6 好譏笑人的尋找智慧，卻尋不著；
聰明人尋找知識，卻輕易得著。
7 你當離開愚昧人，
因為你不會從他的嘴裡曉得知識。
8 精明人的智慧能分辨自己的道路；
愚昧人的愚妄卻欺騙自己。
9 愚妄人譏笑贖愆祭，
正直人中間卻有恩寵。
10 人的苦楚，只有自己心裡知道；
心中的喜樂，外人也不能分享。
11 惡人的家必毀壞，
正直人的帳棚卻必興盛。
12 有一條路，人以為是正路，
走到盡頭卻是死亡之路。
13 人在喜笑中，心裡也會有痛苦；
歡樂的結局，會是愁苦。
14 心中背道的，必飽嘗自己行為的惡果；
善人也因自己所行的，得到善報。
15 愚蒙人凡話都信；
精明的人卻步步謹慎。
16 智慧人敬畏耶和華（“智慧人敬畏耶和華”或譯：“智慧人恐懼戰兢”），遠離惡事；
愚昧人卻驕傲自恃。
17 輕易動怒的，行事愚妄；
心懷詭計的人，被人恨惡。
18 愚蒙人得愚妄為產業；
精明的人以知識為冠冕。
19 壞人必俯伏在好人面前，
惡人必俯伏在義人門口。
20 窮人連鄰舍也厭惡他；
財主卻有很多人愛他。
21 藐視鄰舍的，是為有罪；
恩待貧窮人的，是為有福。
22 圖謀惡事的，不是走錯了嗎？
謀求善事的，必得慈愛和誠實。
23 一切勞苦都有益處，
嘴上空談引致貧窮。
24 智慧人的冠冕是他們的財富；
愚昧人的愚妄，始終是愚妄。
25 作真見證的，救人性命；
吐出謊言的，以詭詐害人。
26 敬畏耶和華的，大有倚靠；
他的子孫也有避難所。
27 敬畏耶和華是生命的泉源，
能使人避開死亡的網羅。
28 君王的榮耀在於人民眾多，
帝王的沒落由於國民寡少。
29 不輕易動怒的，十分聰明；
輕易動怒的，大顯愚妄。
30 心裡平靜，可使身體健康；
但嫉妒能使骨頭朽爛。
31 欺壓貧寒的，就是辱罵造他的主；
恩待窮苦人的，就是尊敬造他的主。
32 惡人必因自己所行的惡事被推倒，
義人死的時候仍有所倚靠。
33 智慧居於聰明人的心中；
愚昧人心裡所存的，人所周知（“愚昧人心裡所存的，人所周知”或譯：“（智慧）在愚昧人心裡也顯明自己”）。
34 正義使國家興盛，
罪惡是人民的羞辱。
35 明慧的臣僕，為王喜悅；
貽羞的僕人，遭王震怒。
箴言 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
14 智慧的女子建立家园，
愚昧的女子亲手拆毁。
2 行为正直的人敬畏耶和华，
行事邪僻的人轻视耶和华。
3 愚人的狂言招来鞭打，
智者的唇舌保护自己。
4 没有耕牛槽头净，
五谷丰登需壮牛。
5 忠实的证人不会撒谎，
虚假的证人谎话连篇。
6 嘲讽者徒然寻智慧，
明哲人轻易得知识。
7 你要远离愚昧人，
他口中毫无知识。
8 明哲凭智慧辨道，
愚人被愚昧欺骗。
9 愚妄人戏看罪恶，
正直人彼此恩待。
10 心头的愁苦，唯有自己明白；
心中的喜乐，外人无法分享。
11 恶人的房屋必遭毁灭，
正直人的帐篷必兴盛。
12 有的路看似正确，
最终却通向死亡。
13 欢笑难消内心的痛苦，
欢乐过后，悲伤犹在。
14 背弃正道，自食恶果；
善人行善，必得善报。
15 愚昧人什么都信，
明哲人步步谨慎。
16 智者小心谨慎，远离恶事；
愚人骄傲自负，行事鲁莽。
17 急躁易怒的人做事愚昧，
阴险奸诈之人遭人痛恨。
18 愚昧人得愚昧作产业，
明哲人得知识为冠冕。
19 坏人俯伏在善人面前，
恶人俯伏在义人门口。
20 穷人遭邻舍厌，
富人朋友众多。
21 藐视邻舍是罪过，
怜悯穷人蒙福乐。
22 图谋恶事的步入歧途，
行善的受爱戴和拥护。
23 殷勤工作，带来益处；
满嘴空谈，导致贫穷。
24 智者以财富为冠冕，
愚人以愚昧为装饰。
25 诚实的证人挽救性命，
口吐谎言者欺骗他人。
26 敬畏耶和华的信心坚定，
他的子孙也有庇护所。
27 敬畏耶和华是生命的泉源，
可以使人避开死亡的陷阱。
28 人民众多，是君王的荣耀；
没有臣民，君主必然败亡。
29 不轻易发怒者深明事理，
鲁莽急躁的人显出愚昧。
30 心平气和，滋润生命；
妒火中烧，啃蚀骨头。
31 欺压穷人等于侮辱造物主，
怜悯贫弱就是尊敬造物主。
32 恶人因恶行而灭亡，
义人到死仍有倚靠。
33 智慧存在哲士心里，
愚人心中充满无知。
34 公义能叫邦国兴盛，
罪恶是人民的耻辱。
35 明智的臣子蒙王喜悦，
可耻的仆人惹王发怒。
Proverbs 14

14 A wise woman ·strengthens her family [builds her house],
but a foolish woman ·destroys hers by what she does [tears hers down with her own hands].
2 People who ·live good lives [walk in virtue/integrity] ·respect [fear] the Lord,
but those who ·live evil lives don’t [L go the wrong way on their paths despise him].
3 ·Fools will be punished for their proud words [The talk of fools is a rod for their back; or In the mouth of fools is a sprig of pride],
but the ·words [L lips] of the wise will protect them.
4 When there are no oxen, ·no food is in the barn [or the barn is empty].
But with a strong ox, much grain can be grown.
5 A truthful witness does not lie,
but a false witness tells nothing but lies.
6 ·Those who make fun of wisdom look for it [Mockers seek wisdom] and do not find it,
but knowledge comes ·easily [or quickly] to those with understanding.
7 Stay away from fools,
because they ·can’t teach you anything [L don’t have knowledgeable lips].
8 The wisdom of a ·wise [prudent] person will understand ·what to do [L his path],
but the folly of a foolish person is ·dishonest [deceptive].
9 Fools ·don’t care if they sin [L mock a penalty/guilt/reparation offering; Lev. 5:14—6:7],
but ·honest people work at being right [those with integrity/virtue are favored].
10 ·No one else can know your sadness [L A heart knows its emotional distress],
and strangers cannot share your joy.
11 The wicked person’s house will be ·destroyed [annihilated],

12 ·Some people think they are doing right [L There is a path that seems straight to a person],
but in the end it ·leads [L is the path] to death.
13 ·Someone who is laughing may be sad inside [L Even in laughter the heart may feel pain],
and joy may end in sadness.
14 ·Evil people [L Rebellious hearts] will be paid back for their evil ·ways [paths],

15 ·Fools [The naive] will believe anything,
but the ·wise [prudent] ·think about what they do [understand their steps].
16 Wise people ·are careful [fear] and stay ·out of trouble [away from evil],
but fools ·are careless [or get mad] and ·quick to act [or feel safe].
17 Someone with a quick temper ·does foolish things [makes stupid mistakes],
but ·someone with understanding remains calm [or schemers are hated].
18 ·Fools [Naive people] ·are rewarded with nothing but more foolishness [L inherit stupidity],
but the wise ·are rewarded with knowledge [L wear knowledge as an ornament].
19 Evil people will bow down to those who are good;
the wicked will bow down at the ·door of those who do right [L gates of the righteous].
20 The poor are ·rejected [hated], even by their neighbors,
but the rich have many friends [C perhaps an ironic reference to fair-weather friends].
21 It is a sin to ·hate [despise] your neighbor,
but being ·kind [gracious] to the needy brings ·happiness [a blessing].
22 ·Those [L Do not those…?] who make evil plans ·will be ruined [L wander aimlessly],
but those who plan to do good will ·be loved and trusted [receive loyalty and faithfulness].
23 Those who work hard make a profit,
but ·those who only talk will be poor [L the word of the lips leads only to lack].
24 Wise people are ·rewarded [crowned] with wealth,
but fools only get more foolishness.

but a ·false witness is a traitor [deceptive person proclaims lies].
26 Those who ·respect [fear] the Lord will have ·security [or confidence],
and their children will ·be protected [have a refuge].
27 ·Respect for [Fear of] the Lord ·gives life [L is a fountain of life]
·and can save people from death [L turning people aside from death traps/snares].
28 A king is honored when he has many people to rule,
but a prince is ruined if he has none.
29 ·Patient people have great [Patience leads to] understanding,
but ·people with quick tempers show their foolishness [impatience leads to stupid mistakes].
30 ·Peace of mind [L A healthy mind/heart] means a healthy body,
but jealousy will rot your bones.
31 Whoever ·mistreats [oppresses] the poor insults their Maker,
but whoever ·is kind [shows grace] to the needy honors God.
32 The wicked are ·ruined [thrown down] by their own evil,
but those who ·do right [are righteous] ·are protected [find refuge] even in death.
33 Wisdom lives in ·those with understanding [an understanding heart/mind],
and ·even fools recognize it [or it is not known in the innards of a fool].
34 ·Doing what is right [Righteousness] makes a nation great,
but sin will ·bring disgrace to any [diminish a] people.
35 A king is pleased with a ·wise [insightful] servant,
but he will become angry with one who causes him shame.
