箴言 22
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
22 美名胜过巨富，
恩宠比金银宝贵。
2 富人和穷人相同：
都由耶和华所造。
3 明哲人遇祸躲避，
愚昧人前往受害。
4 心存谦卑、敬畏耶和华，
必得财富、尊荣和生命。
5 奸徒之道有荆棘和陷阱，
想保全生命的必须远避。
6 教导孩童走正路，
他到老也不偏离。
7 富人管辖穷人，
欠债的是债主的仆人。
8 播种不义的必收灾祸，
他的恶势力终必瓦解。
9 慷慨的人必蒙福，
因他给穷人食物。
10 赶走嘲讽者，纷争平息，
争吵和羞辱也会消除。
11 喜爱清心、口吐恩言的人，
必与君王为友。
12 耶和华的眼目护卫真理，
祂必推翻奸徒的言论。
13 懒惰人说：“外面有狮子，
我会丧命街头。”
14 淫妇的口是深坑，
耶和华憎恶的人必陷进去。
15 愚昧缠住孩童的心，
教棍能远远赶走它。
16 靠压榨穷人敛财和送礼给富人的，
都必穷困潦倒。
智者之言
17 你要侧耳听智者之言，
专心领受我的教诲，
18 铭记在心、随时诵咏，
方为美事。
19 今天我将这些指示你，
为要使你倚靠耶和华。
20 关于谋略和知识，
我已写给你三十条，
21 要使你认识真理，
能准确答复差你来的人。
22 不可仗势剥削贫穷人，
法庭上不可欺凌弱者，
23 因为耶和华必为他们申冤，
夺去掠夺他们之人的性命。
24 不可结交脾气暴躁者，
不要跟易怒之人来往，
25 免得你沾染他们的恶习，
不能自拔。
26 不要为人击掌作保，
不要为欠债的抵押。
27 如果你还不起，
连你的床也会被抬走。
28 不可移动祖先定下的界石。
29 你看那精明能干的人，
他必侍立在君王面前，
不会效力于泛泛之辈。
Proverbs 22
Lexham English Bible
22 A reputation[a] is to be chosen rather than[b] great riches;
favor is better than silver and gold.[c]
2 Rich and poor have much in common;
Yahweh is the maker of all of them.
3 The clever sees danger and hides,
but the simple go on and suffer.
4 The reward of humility is the fear of Yahweh—
wealth and honor and life.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
he who guards himself[d] will keep away from them.
6 Train the child concerning his way;[e]
even when he is old, he will not stray from it.
7 The rich will rule over the poor,
and the borrower is a slave of the lender.[f]
8 He who sows injustice will reap calamity,
and the rod of his anger will fail.
9 He who is generous[g] will be blessed,
for he gives to the poor from his own bread.
10 Drive out a scoffer and strife will go out;
quarrel and abuse will cease.
11 He who loves purity of heart
and hasgracious speech,[h] his friend is the king.
12 The eyes of Yahweh keep watch over knowledge,
but he will overthrow the words of the faithless.
13 A lazy person says “A lion in the street!
In the middle of the highway, I shall be killed!”
14 A deep pit is the mouth of an adulteress,[i]
he with whom Yahweh is angry will fall there.
15 Folly is bound up in the heart[j] of a boy;[k]
the rod of discipline will drive it[l] from him.
16 He who oppresses the poor in order to enrich himself,
or gives to the rich, will come to poverty.[m]
Words of the Wise
17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise;
you shall apply your heart[n] to my teaching.
18 For it is pleasant if you guard them within you;[o]
together they will be ready upon your lips.
19 In order for your trust to be in Yahweh,
I have made them known to you today[p]—even[q] you.
20 Have I not written for you thirty sayings
with admonitions and knowledge?
21 In order to show you what is right—sayings of truth—
in order to return a true saying to him who sent you.
22 Do not rob the poor because he is poor,
and do not crush the afflicted at the gate;
23 For Yahweh will plead their case
and despoil those who despoil them of life.[r]
24 Do not befriend an owner[s] of anger,[t]
and with a man of wrath you shall not associate;
25 lest you learn his way
and become entangled in a snare to yourself.[u]
26 Do not be with those who give a pledge[v]
by becoming[w] surety.
27 If there is nothing for you to pay,[x]
why will he take your bed from under you?
28 Do not remove an ancient boundary marker
which your ancestors[y] made.
29 A man who is skillful in his work, you shall see:
before kings, he will serve;
he will not serve before the commoners.
