箴言 30
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
亚古珥之箴言
30 雅基的儿子亚古珥的言语，就是真言。
2 这人对以铁和乌甲说：我比众人更蠢笨，也没有人的聪明。 3 我没有学好智慧，也不认识至圣者。 4 谁升天又降下来？谁聚风在掌握中？谁包水在衣服里？谁立定地的四极？他名叫什么？他儿子名叫什么？你知道吗？
5 神的言语句句都是炼净的，投靠他的，他便做他们的盾牌。 6 他的言语你不可加添，恐怕他责备你，你就显为说谎言的。
7 我求你两件事，在我未死之先不要不赐给我： 8 求你使虚假和谎言远离我；使我也不贫穷也不富足，赐给我需用的饮食。 9 恐怕我饱足不认你，说：“耶和华是谁呢？”又恐怕我贫穷就偷窃，以致亵渎我神的名。
10 你不要向主人谗谤仆人，恐怕他咒诅你，你便算为有罪。
11 有一宗[a]人，咒诅父亲，不给母亲祝福。 12 有一宗人，自以为清洁，却没有洗去自己的污秽。 13 有一宗人，眼目何其高傲，眼皮也是高举。 14 有一宗人，牙如剑，齿如刀，要吞灭地上的困苦人和世间的穷乏人。
15 蚂蟥有两个女儿，常说：“给呀！给呀！”有三样不知足的，连不说够的共有四样， 16 就是阴间和石胎，浸水不足的地，并火。
17 戏笑父亲，藐视而不听从母亲的，他的眼睛必为谷中的乌鸦啄出来，为鹰雏所吃。
18 我所测不透的奇妙有三样，连我所不知道的共有四样， 19 就是鹰在空中飞的道，蛇在磐石上爬的道，船在海中行的道，男与女交合的道。 20 淫妇的道也是这样，她吃了把嘴一擦，就说：“我没有行恶。”
21 使地震动的有三样，连地担不起的共有四样， 22 就是仆人做王，愚顽人吃饱， 23 丑恶的女子出嫁，婢女接续主母。
24 地上有四样小物，却甚聪明： 25 蚂蚁是无力之类，却在夏天预备粮食； 26 沙番是软弱之类，却在磐石中造房； 27 蝗虫没有君王，却分队而出； 28 守宫用爪抓墙，却住在王宫。
29 步行威武的有三样，连行走威武的共有四样， 30 就是狮子，乃百兽中最为猛烈、无所躲避的， 31 猎狗、公山羊和无人能敌的君王。
32 你若行事愚顽自高自傲，或是怀了恶念，就当用手捂口。 33 摇牛奶必成奶油，扭鼻子必出血，照样，激动怒气必起争端。

箴言 30
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
亚古珥的箴言
30 以下是雅基的儿子亚古珥的箴言。
这人说：上帝啊，我很疲倦；
上帝啊，我很疲倦，精疲力尽。[a]
2 我比众人都愚蠢，
不具备人的悟性。
3 我从未学到智慧，
也不认识至圣者。
4 谁升上高天又降下来？
谁将风聚在掌中？
谁将众水裹在衣服里？
谁定了地的边界？
祂叫什么名字？
祂儿子叫什么名字？
你知道吗？
5 上帝的话句句千真万确，
祂作投靠祂之人的盾牌。
6 你不可对祂的话有所添加，
免得祂责备你，
揭穿你的虚谎。
7 上帝啊，我向你求两件事，
求你在我未死以前赐给我。
8 求你使虚伪和谎言远离我，
求你让我不贫穷也不富足，
赐给我需用的饮食，
9 免得我因为饱足就不认你，
说：“耶和华是谁呢？”
又恐怕我因穷困而偷窃，
以致辱没我上帝的名。
10 别向主人毁谤他的仆人，
免得你受咒诅、担当罪责。
11 有一种[b]人咒诅父亲，
不为母亲祝福。
12 有一种人自以为纯洁，
却没有洗掉自己的污秽。
13 有一种人趾高气扬，
目空一切。
14 有一种人牙如剑，
齿如刀，
要吞吃世间的困苦人和贫穷人。
15 水蛭有两个女儿，
她们不停地叫：“给我！给我！”
三样东西从不知足，
永不言“够”的共有四样：
16 阴间、不孕的妇人、
干旱的土地和火焰。
17 嘲笑父亲、藐视母亲教诲的，
眼睛必被谷中的乌鸦啄出，
被秃鹰吃掉。
18 我测不透的妙事有三样，
我不明白的事共有四样：
19 鹰在空中飞翔之道，
蛇在石上爬行之道，
船在海中航行之道，
男女相爱之道。
20 淫妇的道是这样：
她吃完就擦擦嘴，
说，“我没有做坏事。”
21 使大地震动的事有三样，
大地无法承受的事共有四样：
22 奴仆做王，
愚人吃饱，
23 丑恶女子出嫁，
婢女取代主母。
24 地上有四种动物，
身体虽小却极其聪明：
25 蚂蚁力量虽小，
却在夏天储备粮食；
26 石獾虽不强壮，
却在岩石中筑巢穴；
27 蝗虫虽无君王，
却整齐地列队前进；
28 壁虎虽易捕捉，
却居住在王宫大内。
29 步履威武的有三样，
走路雄壮的共有四样：
30 威震百兽、从不畏缩的狮子，
31 昂首阔步的雄鸡，
公山羊和率领军队的君王。
32 你若行事愚昧、
妄自尊大或图谋不轨，
就当用手掩口。
33 激起愤怒会引起争端，
正如搅牛奶会搅出奶油，
拧鼻子会拧出血。
Proverbs 30
New American Standard Bible
The Words of Agur
30 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the pronouncement.
The man declares to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:
2 I am certainly more (A)stupid than any man,
And I do not have the understanding of a man;
3 Nor have I learned wisdom,
Nor do I have the (B)knowledge of the Holy One.
4 Who has (C)ascended into heaven and descended?
Who has gathered the (D)wind in His fists?
Who has (E)wrapped the waters in [a]His garment?
Who has (F)established all the ends of the earth?
What is His (G)name or His [b]Son’s name?
Surely you know!
5 Every (H)word of God is [c]pure;
He is a (I)shield to those who take refuge in Him.
6 (J)Do not add to His words
Or He will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar.
7 Two things I have asked of You;
Do not refuse me before I die:
8 Keep deception and [d]lies far from me,
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with the (K)food that is my portion,
9 So that I will not be (L)full and deny (M)You and say, “Who is the Lord?”
And that I will not become (N)impoverished and steal,
And (O)profane the name of my God.
10 Do not slander a slave to his master,
Or he will (P)curse you and you will be found guilty.
11 There is a [e]kind of person who (Q)curses his father
And does not bless his mother.
12 There is a [f]kind who is (R)pure in his own eyes,
Yet is not washed from his filthiness.
13 There is a [g]kind—oh how (S)lofty are his eyes!
And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.
14 There is a [h]kind of person whose (T)teeth are like swords
And his (U)jaw teeth like knives,
To (V)devour the poor from the earth
And the needy from among mankind.
15 The leech has two daughters:
“Give” and “Give.”
There are three things that will not be satisfied,
Four that will not say, “Enough”:
16 [i](W)Sheol, the (X)infertile womb,
Earth that is never satisfied with water,
And fire that never says, “Enough.”
17 The eye that (Y)mocks a father
And [j](Z)scorns a mother,
The (AA)ravens of the valley will pick it out,
And the young (AB)eagles will eat it.
18 There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
Four which I do not understand:
19 The way of the (AC)eagle in the sky,
The way of a snake on a rock,
The way of a ship in the middle of the sea,
And the way of a man with a [k]virgin.
20 This is the way of an (AD)adulterous woman:
She eats and wipes her mouth,
And says, “I have done no wrong.”
21 Under three things the earth quakes,
And under four, it cannot endure:
22 Under a (AE)slave when he becomes king,
And a fool when he is satisfied with food,
23 Under an unloved woman when she gets a husband,
And a female servant when she dispossesses her mistress.
24 Four things are small on the earth,
But they are exceedingly wise:
25 The (AF)ants are not a strong people,
But they prepare their food in the summer;
26 The (AG)rock hyraxes are not a mighty people,
Yet they make their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king,
Yet all of them go out in (AH)ranks;
28 The lizard you may grasp with the hands,
Yet it is in kings’ palaces.
29 There are three things which are stately in their march,
Even four which are stately when they walk:
30 The lion, which is (AI)mighty among animals
And does not [l](AJ)retreat from anything,
31 The [m]strutting rooster or the male goat,
And a king when his army is with him.
32 If you have been foolish in exalting yourself,
Or if you have plotted evil, (AK)put your hand on your mouth.
33 For the [n]churning of milk produces butter,
And pressing the nose produces blood;
So the [o]churning of (AL)anger produces strife.
