箴言 知恵の泉 21
Japanese Living Bible
21 灌漑の水が流れ込むように、
主は王の心を思いのままに動かされます。
2 どんな行いでも、
もっともらしい理由をつければ正しく見えますが、
神はどんなつもりでそうしたかを見ます。
3 供え物をするより、
正しい人であるほうが主に喜ばれます。
4 高慢も、情欲も、
悪い行いも、みな罪です。
5 地道に努力すれば利益がもたらされ、
一儲けしようと急ぐと貧困がもたらされます。
6 不正で得た富はすぐなくなります。
それなのになぜ、危険を冒そうとするのでしょう。
7 悪者は不正を行ってばかりいますが、
いずれその悪事が戻ってきて、
自分を滅ぼすことになります。
8 行いを見ればその人がわかります。
悪人は悪いことをし、
正しい人は神の教えを守るのです。
9 怒りっぽい女とりっぱな家に住むより、
屋根裏部屋の隅で暮らすほうがましです。
10 悪人は人を傷つけるのが大好きで、
人に親切にしようなどとは考えもしません。
11 知恵のある人は聞くだけで学ぶことができます。
愚か者は、人をばかにする者が罰を受けるのを
見るまでは、学ぶことができません。
12 正しい方である神は、
悪者が家の中で何をしているのか知っていて、
その者にさばきを下します。
13 貧しい人を助けない者は、
自分が困ったときにも助けてもらえません。
14 贈り物をすれば、怒っている人も機嫌を直します。
15 正しい人は喜んで正しいことをし、
悪人を恐れさせます。
16 わきまえのない怠け者は、
のたれ死にするしかありません。
17 毎日遊び暮らしていると貧しくなります。
酒やぜいたく品は富をもたらしません。
18 最後に勝つのは、悪人ではなく正しい人です。
19 口うるさく不平ばかりこぼす女といるより、
荒野に住むほうがましです。
20 知恵のある人は将来に備えて貯金をし、
愚か者は考えもなしに金を使います。
21 正しく思いやりのある者になろうとする人は、
充実した生活を送り、人からもたたえられます。
22 知恵のある人は強い相手と戦っても負けません。
とりでに立てこもる敵も見事に打ち負かします。
23 口を開かないでいれば、
苦難に陥ることもありません。
24 人をばかにする者は傲慢で、
自分が一番だと思い上がっています。
25-26 怠け者は働きもしないで、やたらに欲しがり、
人をうらやむことしか知りません。
しかし神を恐れる人は、喜んで人に与えます。
27 神は悪人からの贈り物がきらいです。
何か下心があるときはなおさらです。
28 偽証すれば罰せられ、正直に証言すれば安全です。
29 悪人は強情ですが、
神を恐れる人は、悪いとわかれば素直に考え直します。
30 どんなに賢明な人でも、
どんなに良い教育を受けた人でも、
主と対等にやり合うことなどできません。
31 さあ、戦う準備をしなさい。
しかし、勝利は主によってもたらされます。
Proverbs 21
New International Version
Proverbs 21
New International Version
21 In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water
that he channels toward all who please him.(A)
2 A person may think their own ways are right,
but the Lord weighs the heart.(B)
3 To do what is right and just
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.(C)
4 Haughty eyes(D) and a proud heart—
the unplowed field of the wicked—produce sin.
5 The plans of the diligent lead to profit(E)
as surely as haste leads to poverty.
7 The violence of the wicked will drag them away,(G)
for they refuse to do what is right.
8 The way of the guilty is devious,(H)
but the conduct of the innocent is upright.
9 Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.(I)
10 The wicked crave evil;
their neighbors get no mercy from them.
11 When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom;
by paying attention to the wise they get knowledge.(J)
14 A gift given in secret soothes anger,
and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath.(N)
15 When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous
but terror to evildoers.(O)
16 Whoever strays from the path of prudence
comes to rest in the company of the dead.(P)
17 Whoever loves pleasure will become poor;
whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.(Q)
18 The wicked become a ransom(R) for the righteous,
and the unfaithful for the upright.
19 Better to live in a desert
than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.(S)
20 The wise store up choice food and olive oil,
but fools gulp theirs down.
22 One who is wise can go up against the city of the mighty(V)
and pull down the stronghold in which they trust.
24 The proud and arrogant person(Y)—“Mocker” is his name—
behaves with insolent fury.
25 The craving of a sluggard will be the death of him,(Z)
because his hands refuse to work.
26 All day long he craves for more,
but the righteous(AA) give without sparing.(AB)
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable(AC)—
how much more so when brought with evil intent!(AD)
29 The wicked put up a bold front,
but the upright give thought to their ways.(AG)
31 The horse is made ready for the day of battle,
but victory rests with the Lord.(AJ)

Proverbs 21
King James Version
21 The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.
3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
8 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.
9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
15 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
20 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.
21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
26 He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord.
31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord.
