箴言 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
14 智慧的女子建立家園，
愚昧的女子親手拆毀。
2 行為正直的人敬畏耶和華，
行事邪僻的人輕視耶和華。
3 愚人的狂言招來鞭打，
智者的唇舌保護自己。
4 沒有耕牛槽頭淨，
五穀豐登需壯牛。
5 忠實的證人不會撒謊，
虛假的證人謊話連篇。
6 嘲諷者徒然尋智慧，
明哲人輕易得知識。
7 你要遠離愚昧人，
他口中毫無知識。
8 明哲憑智慧辨道，
愚人被愚昧欺騙。
9 愚妄人戲看罪惡，
正直人彼此恩待。
10 心頭的愁苦，唯有自己明白；
心中的喜樂，外人無法分享。
11 惡人的房屋必遭毀滅，
正直人的帳篷必興盛。
12 有的路看似正確，
最終卻通向死亡。
13 歡笑難消內心的痛苦，
歡樂過後，悲傷猶在。
14 背棄正道，自食惡果；
善人行善，必得善報。
15 愚昧人什麼都信，
明哲人步步謹慎。
16 智者小心謹慎，遠離惡事；
愚人驕傲自負，行事魯莽。
17 急躁易怒的人做事愚昧，
陰險奸詐之人遭人痛恨。
18 愚昧人得愚昧作產業，
明哲人得知識為冠冕。
19 壞人俯伏在善人面前，
惡人俯伏在義人門口。
20 窮人遭鄰舍厭，
富人朋友眾多。
21 藐視鄰舍是罪過，
憐憫窮人蒙福樂。
22 圖謀惡事的步入歧途，
行善的受愛戴和擁護。
23 殷勤工作，帶來益處；
滿嘴空談，導致貧窮。
24 智者以財富為冠冕，
愚人以愚昧為裝飾。
25 誠實的證人挽救性命，
口吐謊言者欺騙他人。
26 敬畏耶和華的信心堅定，
他的子孫也有庇護所。
27 敬畏耶和華是生命的泉源，
可以使人避開死亡的陷阱。
28 人民眾多，是君王的榮耀；
沒有臣民，君主必然敗亡。
29 不輕易發怒者深明事理，
魯莽急躁的人顯出愚昧。
30 心平氣和，滋潤生命；
妒火中燒，啃蝕骨頭。
31 欺壓窮人等於侮辱造物主，
憐憫貧弱就是尊敬造物主。
32 惡人因惡行而滅亡，
義人到死仍有倚靠。
33 智慧存在哲士心裡，
愚人心中充滿無知。
34 公義能叫邦國興盛，
罪惡是人民的恥辱。
35 明智的臣子蒙王喜悅，
可恥的僕人惹王發怒。

The Ways of Life and Death
14 The wise woman builds her house,
But the foolish pulls it down with her hands.
2 He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,
(A)But he who is perverse in his ways despises Him.
3 In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride,
(B)But the lips of the wise will preserve them.
4 Where no oxen are, the [a]trough is clean;
But much increase comes by the strength of an ox.
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it,
But (E)knowledge is easy to him who understands.
7 Go from the presence of a foolish man,
When you do not perceive in him the lips of (F)knowledge.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way,
But the folly of fools is deceit.
10 The heart knows its own bitterness,
And a stranger does not share its joy.
11 (H)The house of the wicked will be overthrown,
But the tent of the upright will flourish.
13 Even in laughter the heart may sorrow,
And (L)the end of mirth may be grief.
14 The backslider in heart will be (M)filled with his own ways,
But a good man will be satisfied [c]from (N)above.
15 The simple believes every word,
But the prudent considers well his steps.
16 (O)A wise man fears and departs from evil,
But a fool rages and is self-confident.
17 A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,
And a man of wicked intentions is hated.
18 The simple inherit folly,
But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19 The evil will bow before the good,
And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 (P)The poor man is hated even by his own neighbor,
But [d]the rich has many (Q)friends.
21 He who despises his neighbor sins;
(R)But he who has mercy on the poor, happy is he.
22 Do they not go astray who devise evil?
But mercy and truth belong to those who devise good.
23 In all labor there is profit,
But [e]idle chatter leads only to poverty.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches,
But the foolishness of fools is folly.
26 In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence,
And His children will have a place of refuge.
27 (T)The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
To turn one away from the snares of death.
28 In a multitude of people is a king’s honor,
But in the lack of people is the downfall of a prince.
31 (X)He who oppresses the poor reproaches (Y)his Maker,
But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.
32 The wicked is banished in his wickedness,
But (Z)the righteous has a refuge in his death.
33 Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding,
But (AA)what is in the heart of fools is made known.
35 (AC)The king’s favor is toward a wise servant,
But his wrath is against him who causes shame.

14 Chachmot nashim buildeth her bais, but the foolish pulleth it down with her hands.
2 He that walketh in his yashar feareth Hashem, but he that is devious in his drakhim despiseth Him.
3 In the peh (mouth) of the fool is a rod of ga’avah (pride), but the sfatayim (lips) of the chachamim shall be shomer over them and preserve them.
4 Where no oxen are, the evus (feeding trough) is clean, but much increase is by the ko’ach of the shor (ox).
5 An ed emunim will not lie, but an ed sheker will utter lies.
6 A scoffer seeketh chochmah, and findeth it not, but da’as cometh easily unto him that is discerning.
7 Go from the presence of an ish kesil, when thou perceivest not in him the sfatayim (lips) of da’as (knowledge).
8 The chochmah of the prudent is to understand his derech, but the folly of kesilim is mirmah (deceit).
9 Fools mock at guilt, but among the yesharim (upright ones) there is ratzon (favor).
10 The lev knoweth its own bitterness, and a zar (stranger) doth not share its simchah.
11 The bais of the resha’im shall be shmad, but the ohel of the yesharim shall flourish.
12 There is a derech (road) which seemeth yashar (right) unto an ish, but the acharit (latter end, future) thereof are the drakhim of mavet.
13 Even in sekhok (laughter) the lev is sad, and the acharit (latter end) of that simchah is grief.
14 The sug (backslider, faithless one) in lev is filled with his own drakhim (roads), but an ish tov shall be satisfied from above himself.
15 The naive believeth every davar, but the prudent looketh with care to his steps.
16 A chacham feareth, and departeth from rah, but the kesil throweth off restraint and is arrogantly reckless.
17 He that is quicktempered dealeth folly, and an ish mezimot (a man of crafty schemes) is hated.
18 The naive inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with da’as.
19 The ra’im will bow before the tov’im, and the resha’im at the she’arim of the tzaddik.
20 The poor is hated even by his own re’a (neighbor), but the oisher hath many friends.
21 He that despiseth his re’a sinneth, but he that is kind to the anayim (needy ones), happy is he.
22 Do they not go astray that plot rah? But chesed and emes shall be to them that plan tov.
23 In all hard work there is profit, but idle chatter of the sfatayim (lips) tendeth only to makhsor (poverty, want).
24 The ateret chachamim is their riches, but the foolishness of kesilim is folly.
25 An ed emes (true witness) saveth nefashot (souls, lives), but a lying witness is a betrayer.
26 In the Yirat Hashem is strong confidence, and his banim shall have a place of refuge.
27 The Yirat Hashem is a makor chayyim (fountain of life) to turn one away from the snares of mavet.
28 In the multitude of people is the glory of a melech, but in the lack of subjects is the ruin of the prince.
29 He that is slow to wrath is of rav tevunah (great understanding), but he that is angrily impulsive exalteth folly.
30 A lev marpeh (sound mind) is life to the basar, but kinah (envy) is the rottenness of the atzmot (bones).
31 He that oppresseth the dal (poor) showeth contempt for his Oseh (Maker), but he that honoreth Him is kind to the evyon (needy).
32 The reshah is banished in his ra’ah, but the tzaddik hath refuge in his mot (death).
33 In the lev of the discerning reposes chochmah, but that which is in kesilim is made known.
34 Tzedakah exalteth a nation, but chattat (sin) is a reproach to any people.
35 The ratzon melech (king’s favor) is toward an eved maskil (a wise servant), but his wrath is against him that bringeth shame.
