箴言 30-31
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。
利慕伊勒王的箴言
31 以下是利慕伊勒王的箴言，
是他母亲给他的教诲：
2 我儿，我亲生的骨肉，
我许愿得来的孩子啊，
我该怎样教导你呢？
3 不要在女人身上耗废精力，
不要迷恋那些能毁灭王的人。
4 利慕伊勒啊，
君王不可喝酒，
不可喝酒，
首领不宜喝烈酒，
5 免得喝酒后忘记律例，
不为困苦人伸张正义。
6 把烈酒给灭亡的人，
把淡酒给忧伤的人，
7 让他们喝了忘掉贫穷，
不再记得自己的痛苦。
8 要为不能自辩者说话，
为一切不幸的人申冤。
9 你要发言，秉公审判，
为贫穷困苦者主持公道。
贤德的妻子
10 谁能找到贤德之妻？
她的价值远胜过珠宝。
11 她丈夫信赖她，
什么也不缺乏。
12 她一生对丈夫有益无损。
13 她寻找羊毛和细麻，
愉快地亲手做衣。
14 她好像商船，
从远方运来粮食。
15 天未亮她就起床，
为全家预备食物，
分派女仆做家事。
16 她选中田地便买下来，
亲手赚钱栽种葡萄园。
17 她精力充沛，
双臂有力。
18 她深谙经营之道，
她的灯彻夜不熄。
19 她手拿卷线杆，
手握纺线锤。
20 她乐于周济穷人，
伸手帮助困苦者。
21 她不因下雪而为家人担心，
因为全家都穿着朱红暖衣。
22 她为自己缝制绣花毯，
用细麻和紫布做衣服。
23 她丈夫在城门口与当地长老同坐，
受人尊重。
24 她缝制细麻衣裳出售，
又制作腰带卖给商人。
25 她充满力量和尊荣，
她以笑颜迎接未来。
26 她说的话带着智慧，
她的训言充满慈爱。
27 她料理一切家务，
从不偷懒吃闲饭。
28 她的儿女肃立，
为她祝福，
她的丈夫也称赞她，
29 说：“世上贤德的女子很多，
唯有你无与伦比。”
30 艳丽是虚假的，
美貌是短暂的，
唯有敬畏耶和华的女子配得称赞。
31 愿她享受自己的劳动成果，
愿她的事迹使她在城门口受称赞。

Sayings of Agur
30 The sayings(A) of Agur son of Jakeh—an inspired utterance.
This man’s utterance to Ithiel:
“I am weary, God,
but I can prevail.[a]
2 Surely I am only a brute, not a man;
I do not have human understanding.
3 I have not learned wisdom,
nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One.(B)
4 Who has gone up(C) to heaven and come down?
Whose hands(D) have gathered up the wind?
Who has wrapped up the waters(E) in a cloak?(F)
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name,(G) and what is the name of his son?
Surely you know!
5 “Every word of God is flawless;(H)
he is a shield(I) to those who take refuge in him.
6 Do not add(J) to his words,
or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.
7 “Two things I ask of you, Lord;
do not refuse me before I die:
8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.(K)
9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown(L) you
and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’(M)
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.(N)
10 “Do not slander a servant to their master,
or they will curse you, and you will pay for it.
11 “There are those who curse their fathers
and do not bless their mothers;(O)
12 those who are pure in their own eyes(P)
and yet are not cleansed of their filth;(Q)
13 those whose eyes are ever so haughty,(R)
whose glances are so disdainful;
14 those whose teeth(S) are swords
and whose jaws are set with knives(T)
to devour(U) the poor(V) from the earth
and the needy from among mankind.(W)
15 “The leech has two daughters.
‘Give! Give!’ they cry.
“There are three things that are never satisfied,(X)
four that never say, ‘Enough!’:
16 the grave,(Y) the barren womb,
land, which is never satisfied with water,
and fire, which never says, ‘Enough!’
17 “The eye that mocks(Z) a father,
that scorns an aged mother,
will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley,
will be eaten by the vultures.(AA)
18 “There are three things that are too amazing for me,
four that I do not understand:
19 the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a young woman.
20 “This is the way of an adulterous woman:
She eats and wipes her mouth
and says, ‘I’ve done nothing wrong.’(AB)
21 “Under three things the earth trembles,
under four it cannot bear up:
22 a servant who becomes king,(AC)
a godless fool who gets plenty to eat,
23 a contemptible woman who gets married,
and a servant who displaces her mistress.
24 “Four things on earth are small,
yet they are extremely wise:
25 Ants are creatures of little strength,
yet they store up their food in the summer;(AD)
26 hyraxes(AE) are creatures of little power,
yet they make their home in the crags;
27 locusts(AF) have no king,
yet they advance together in ranks;
28 a lizard can be caught with the hand,
yet it is found in kings’ palaces.
29 “There are three things that are stately in their stride,
four that move with stately bearing:
30 a lion, mighty among beasts,
who retreats before nothing;
31 a strutting rooster, a he-goat,
and a king secure against revolt.[b]
32 “If you play the fool and exalt yourself,
or if you plan evil,
clap your hand over your mouth!(AG)
33 For as churning cream produces butter,
and as twisting the nose produces blood,
so stirring up anger produces strife.”
Sayings of King Lemuel
31 The sayings(AH) of King Lemuel—an inspired utterance his mother taught him.
2 Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb!
Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers!(AI)
3 Do not spend your strength[c] on women,
your vigor on those who ruin kings.(AJ)
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel—
it is not for kings to drink wine,(AK)
not for rulers to crave beer,
5 lest they drink(AL) and forget what has been decreed,(AM)
and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
6 Let beer be for those who are perishing,
wine(AN) for those who are in anguish!
7 Let them drink(AO) and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.
8 Speak(AP) up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.(AQ)
Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character
10 [d]A wife of noble character(AR) who can find?(AS)
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband(AT) has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.(AU)
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.(AV)
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still night;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her female servants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.(AW)
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders(AX) of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.(AY)
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise(AZ) at the city gate.
