箴言 13
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
智慧人的教训是生命的泉源
13 智慧的儿子听从父亲的教训，
好讥笑人的不听责备。
2 人因口所结的果子，必得尝美物，
奸诈人的欲望却是强暴。
3 谨慎口舌的，可保性命；
口没遮拦的，自取灭亡。
4 懒惰人渴求，却一无所得；
殷勤人必得丰裕。
5 义人恨恶虚假，
恶人行事，遗臭贻羞。
6 正义护卫行为完全的人；
邪恶却使犯罪的人倾覆。
7 有人自充富足，却一无所有；
有人假装贫穷，财物却极多。
8 人的财富是他性命的赎价，
穷人却听不见威吓的话。
9 义人的光必明亮，
恶人的灯必熄灭。
10 傲慢只能引起争端；
接受劝告的却有智慧。
11 不劳而获的财物，必快减少；
慢慢积蓄的，必然增多。
12 所盼望的迟延未得，令人心忧；
所愿的来到，好比生命树。
13 藐视训言的，必自取灭亡；
敬畏诫命的，必得善报。
14 智慧人的训诲是生命的泉源，
能使人避开死亡的网罗。
15 聪颖的明慧使人蒙恩，
奸诈人的道路崎岖难行。
16 精明的人都按知识行事，
愚昧人却显露自己的愚妄。
17 奸恶的使者，必陷在祸患里（“必陷在祸患里”或译：“必使人陷在祸患里”）；
忠心的使臣，使人复原。
18 轻忽管教的，必致穷乏受辱；
看重责备的，必得尊荣。
19 所愿的成功，使人心里甘甜；
远离恶事，却为愚昧人憎恶。
20 与智慧人同行的，必得智慧；
与愚昧人为友的，必受亏损。
21 祸患追赶罪人，
义人必得善报。
22 善人给子孙留下产业，
罪人的财富，却是为义人积藏。
23 穷人的耕地可产大量粮食，
却因不义都被摧毁了。
24 不用杖责打儿子的，是恨恶他；
爱儿子的，必对他勤加管教。
25 义人必吃得饱足，
恶人却空着肚子。
Proverbs 13
EasyEnglish Bible
13 A wise son listens to his father's teaching.
But if you tell a proud person that he is wrong, he will not listen.
2 If you say kind words, you will eat good things.
But wicked people only want to be cruel.
3 Someone who thinks before he speaks will keep his life safe.
But someone who talks too much will destroy himself.
4 A lazy person always wants to have more, but he will not get it.
If a person works hard, he will have more than he needs.
5 Honest people hate anything that is false.
But wicked people do things that bring them shame.
6 When honest people do what is right, it keeps them safe.
But when sinners do evil things, it destroys them.
7 Somebody who has nothing may still pretend to be rich.
Somebody else may pretend to be poor, but he is very rich.
8 A rich person may have to use his money to save his life.
But poor people do not have that problem.
9 Righteous people have joy that shines like a bright light.
But wicked people have a light that will quickly go out.
10 A person who boasts only causes trouble.
But if you accept good advice, it shows that you are wise.
11 If you try to get money quickly, you will not stay rich for long.
But if you are patient, you will become rich little by little.
12 When you do not receive the things that you hope for, it makes you sad.
But when you receive what you have always wanted, you are very happy.
13 If you do not accept good teaching, you will destroy yourself.
If you accept good advice, it will help you to do well.
14 The teaching of wise people is like a spring of water that gives life.
It will keep you away from death's dangerous traps.
15 People respect a person who has wise thoughts.
But the way that wicked people live destroys them.
16 Careful people need to understand what they are doing.
But a fool quickly shows how foolish he is.
17 If you send a message with a wicked person, he will cause trouble.
But if you send someone that you can trust, he will bring peace.
18 Anyone who turns away from good teaching will become poor and ashamed.
But if you accept advice when you do something wrong, people will respect you.
19 It is very nice to receive the things that you want.
But foolish people refuse to stop doing evil things.
20 If you have wise people as your friends, you will become wise yourself.
But if you have foolish friends, you will hurt yourself.
21 Trouble chases sinners and it catches them.
But righteous people will receive good things.
22 When a good person dies, he leaves good things for his grandchildren.
But a sinner's riches will belong to righteous people in the end.
23 Even a poor man's field may give him enough food.
But he loses it because wicked people rob him.
24 If you do not punish your child, you show that you hate him.
If you really love your child, you will punish him when he does something wrong.
25 Righteous people have plenty of food to eat.
But wicked people have an empty stomach.
