箴言 知恵の泉 15
Japanese Living Bible
15 穏やかに答えれば相手の心を静め、
激しいことばでやり返すとけんかになります。
2 良い教師がいれば学習が楽しくなり、
無力な教師は益にならないことをまくし立てます。
3 主はあらゆる所で、
悪人も正しい人も一人残らず見張っています。
4 優しいことばは人を元気づけ、
不平は人の気をくじきます。
5 愚かな子ほど父親の忠告を見くびり、
利口な子ほど、ひと言ひと言を熱心に聞きます。
6 正しい人は裕福になり、悪者は収穫を得ても、
めんどうなことに巻き込まれます。
7 人を教えられるのは知恵のある人だけで、
神に背く者にはとてもできません。
8 主は悪者の供え物を憎み、正しい人の祈りを喜びます。
9-10 主は悪者の行いをきらい、
正しく生きようとする人を愛します。
しかし途中で心変わりしたら、
きびしい罰が待っています。
その罰を受け入れなければ死ぬだけです。
11 地獄の深遠まで知っている主には、
人の心など手に取るようにわかります。
12 人をさげすむ者は、しかられるのをきらって、
知恵のある人を避けようとします。
13 楽しければ顔が輝き、
悲しければ顔が曇ります。
14 知恵のある人は熱心に真理を求め、
人をさげすむ者はつまらないことに熱中します。
15 気が重いと何もかも悪く見え、
気分がいいと、いつも喜んでいられます。
16 財産があるばかりにあれこれ気を遣うより、
貧しくとも主を信じて生きるほうが幸せです。
17 憎む者といっしょにごちそうを食べるより、
愛する人と質素な食事をするほうが幸せです。
18 気の短い者はすぐにけんかを始め、
冷静な人はその場をうまく収めます。
19 怠け者は年中問題をかかえ込み、
誠実な人は平和な一生を送ります。
20 分別がある息子は父親を喜ばせ、
反抗的な息子は母親を悲しませます。
21 愚かなことをして喜ぶのは、
何かが間違っている証拠です。
分別の備わった人は正しい道を踏みはずしません。
22 良い助言をくれる人が少ないと計画は失敗し、
多いと成功します。
23 良い助言は喜びをもたらし、
時宜にかなったことばは、
いかにすばらしいものか。
24 神を恐れる人の道は天国へ上る道。
地獄からはどんどん遠ざかります。
25 主は高慢な者を破産させ、
未亡人を心に留めます。
26 主は悪者の計画を憎み、
親切なことばを喜びます。
27 不正を働いて得た金は家族みんなを不幸にし、
わいろを憎むことは幸福をもたらします。
28 正しい人はよく考えてから話し、
悪者は見境なく悪いことばを吐き出します。
29 主は悪者とは距離を置き、
正しい人の祈りを聞きます。
30 生き生きした目の輝きと良い知らせは、
人を喜ばせ、力づけます。
31-32 有益な批判を取り入れるのは賢い人です。
批判を拒絶すれば自分をだめにします。
33 主を恐れ、謙遜に生きる人は知恵を身につけ、
人の称賛を得ます。
Proverbs 15
King James Version
15 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25 The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
Proverbs 15
New King James Version
A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath
15 A (A)soft answer turns away wrath,
But (B)a harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly,
(C)But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.
3 (D)The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
Keeping watch on the evil and the good.
4 A [a]wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
6 In the house of the righteous there is much treasure,
But in the revenue of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise [c]disperse knowledge,
But the heart of the fool does not do so.
8 (G)The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
But the prayer of the upright is His delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
But He loves him who (H)follows righteousness.
11 (K)Hell[d] and [e]Destruction are before the Lord;
So how much more (L)the hearts of the sons of men.
12 (M)A scoffer does not love one who corrects him,
Nor will he go to the wise.
13 (N)A merry heart makes a cheerful [f]countenance,
But (O)by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil,
(P)But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
16 (Q)Better is a little with the fear of the Lord,
Than great treasure with trouble.
17 (R)Better is a dinner of [g]herbs where love is,
Than a fatted calf with hatred.
18 (S)A wrathful man stirs up strife,
But he who is slow to anger allays contention.
19 (T)The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns,
But the way of the upright is a highway.
20 (U)A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man despises his mother.
21 (V)Folly is joy to him who is destitute of [h]discernment,
(W)But a man of understanding walks uprightly.
22 (X)Without counsel, plans go awry,
But in the multitude of counselors they are established.
25 (AB)The Lord will destroy the house of the proud,
But (AC)He will establish the boundary of the widow.
26 (AD)The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,
(AE)But the words of the pure are pleasant.
27 (AF)He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house,
But he who hates bribes will live.
28 The heart of the righteous (AG)studies how to answer,
But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,
And a good report makes the bones [k]healthy.
31 The ear that hears the rebukes of life
Will abide among the wise.
32 He who disdains instruction despises his own soul,
But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.
33 (AJ)The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom,
And (AK)before honor is humility.
