箴言 14
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
敬畏 神大有倚靠
14 智慧婦人建立家室,
愚妄婦人親手拆毀。
2 行事正直的,敬畏耶和華;
行為乖僻的,卻藐視他。
3 愚妄人的口中長出驕傲的枝子;
智慧人的嘴唇,能保障自己。
4 沒有耕牛,槽頭乾淨;
出產豐盛,卻是憑著牛的力量。
5 誠實的證人不說謊話;
虛偽的證人吐出謊言。
6 好譏笑人的尋找智慧,卻尋不著;
聰明人尋找知識,卻輕易得著。
7 你當離開愚昧人,
因為你不會從他的嘴裡曉得知識。
8 精明人的智慧能分辨自己的道路;
愚昧人的愚妄卻欺騙自己。
9 愚妄人譏笑贖愆祭,
正直人中間卻有恩寵。
10 人的苦楚,只有自己心裡知道;
心中的喜樂,外人也不能分享。
11 惡人的家必毀壞,
正直人的帳棚卻必興盛。
12 有一條路,人以為是正路,
走到盡頭卻是死亡之路。
13 人在喜笑中,心裡也會有痛苦;
歡樂的結局,會是愁苦。
14 心中背道的,必飽嘗自己行為的惡果;
善人也因自己所行的,得到善報。
15 愚蒙人凡話都信;
精明的人卻步步謹慎。
16 智慧人敬畏耶和華(“智慧人敬畏耶和華”或譯:“智慧人恐懼戰兢”),遠離惡事;
愚昧人卻驕傲自恃。
17 輕易動怒的,行事愚妄;
心懷詭計的人,被人恨惡。
18 愚蒙人得愚妄為產業;
精明的人以知識為冠冕。
19 壞人必俯伏在好人面前,
惡人必俯伏在義人門口。
20 窮人連鄰舍也厭惡他;
財主卻有很多人愛他。
21 藐視鄰舍的,是為有罪;
恩待貧窮人的,是為有福。
22 圖謀惡事的,不是走錯了嗎?
謀求善事的,必得慈愛和誠實。
23 一切勞苦都有益處,
嘴上空談引致貧窮。
24 智慧人的冠冕是他們的財富;
愚昧人的愚妄,始終是愚妄。
25 作真見證的,救人性命;
吐出謊言的,以詭詐害人。
26 敬畏耶和華的,大有倚靠;
他的子孫也有避難所。
27 敬畏耶和華是生命的泉源,
能使人避開死亡的網羅。
28 君王的榮耀在於人民眾多,
帝王的沒落由於國民寡少。
29 不輕易動怒的,十分聰明;
輕易動怒的,大顯愚妄。
30 心裡平靜,可使身體健康;
但嫉妒能使骨頭朽爛。
31 欺壓貧寒的,就是辱罵造他的主;
恩待窮苦人的,就是尊敬造他的主。
32 惡人必因自己所行的惡事被推倒,
義人死的時候仍有所倚靠。
33 智慧居於聰明人的心中;
愚昧人心裡所存的,人所周知(“愚昧人心裡所存的,人所周知”或譯:“(智慧)在愚昧人心裡也顯明自己”)。
34 正義使國家興盛,
罪惡是人民的羞辱。
35 明慧的臣僕,為王喜悅;
貽羞的僕人,遭王震怒。
箴言 14

14 智慧的女子建立家园,
愚昧的女子亲手拆毁。
2 行为正直的人敬畏耶和华,
行事邪僻的人轻视耶和华。
3 愚人的狂言招来鞭打,
智者的唇舌保护自己。
4 没有耕牛槽头净,
五谷丰登需壮牛。
5 忠实的证人不会撒谎,
虚假的证人谎话连篇。
6 嘲讽者徒然寻智慧,
明哲人轻易得知识。
7 你要远离愚昧人,
他口中毫无知识。
8 明哲凭智慧辨道,
愚人被愚昧欺骗。
9 愚妄人戏看罪恶,
正直人彼此恩待。

心中的喜乐,外人无法分享。
11 恶人的房屋必遭毁灭,
正直人的帐篷必兴盛。
12 有的路看似正确,
最终却通向死亡。
13 欢笑难消内心的痛苦,
欢乐过后,悲伤犹在。
14 背弃正道,自食恶果;
善人行善,必得善报。

愚人骄傲自负,行事鲁莽。

阴险奸诈之人遭人痛恨。
18 愚昧人得愚昧作产业,
明哲人得知识为冠冕。
19 坏人俯伏在善人面前,
恶人俯伏在义人门口。
20 穷人遭邻舍厌,
富人朋友众多。
21 藐视邻舍是罪过,
怜悯穷人蒙福乐。
22 图谋恶事的步入歧途,
行善的受爱戴和拥护。
23 殷勤工作,带来益处;
满嘴空谈,导致贫穷。
24 智者以财富为冠冕,
愚人以愚昧为装饰。
25 诚实的证人挽救性命,
口吐谎言者欺骗他人。
26 敬畏耶和华的信心坚定,
他的子孙也有庇护所。
27 敬畏耶和华是生命的泉源,
可以使人避开死亡的陷阱。
28 人民众多,是君王的荣耀;
没有臣民,君主必然败亡。
29 不轻易发怒者深明事理,
鲁莽急躁的人显出愚昧。
30 心平气和,滋润生命;
妒火中烧,啃蚀骨头。
31 欺压穷人等于侮辱造物主,
怜悯贫弱就是尊敬造物主。
32 恶人因恶行而灭亡,
义人到死仍有倚靠。
33 智慧存在哲士心里,
愚人心中充满无知。
34 公义能叫邦国兴盛,
罪恶是人民的耻辱。
35 明智的臣子蒙王喜悦,
可耻的仆人惹王发怒。
Proverbs 14
Lexham English Bible
14 The wisest of women[a] builds her house,
but the foolish tears it down with her hands.
2 He who walks in uprightness fears Yahweh,
but he who is devious in his ways displeases him.
3 In the mouth of a fool is the rod of pride,
but the lips of the wise preserve them.
4 When there are no[b] oxen the manger is empty,
but an abundance of crops comes by the strength of an ox.[c]
5 A faithful witness does not lie,
but he who breathes out falsehood is a witness of deceit.
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom, but there is none,
but knowledge comes easily to him who understands.[d]
7 Leave the presence of a foolish man,[e]
for you will not come to know words of knowledge.[f]
8 The wisdom of the clever is understanding his ways,
but the folly of fools is deceit.
9 Fools mock[g] the guilt offering,
but among the upright, it is favorable.
10 The heart[h] knows the bitterness of its soul,[i]
but in its joy, it will not share itself with a stranger.
11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed,
but the tent of the upright will flourish.
12 There is a way that seems upright to[j] a man,
but its end is the way of death.
13 Even in laughter, a heart may be sad,
and the end of joy may be grief.
14 From his ways, the perverse of heart will be satisfied,
and from his own,[k] so shall a good man.
15 The simple will believe every word,
but the clever will consider his step.
16 The wise is cautious and turns from evil,
but the fool throws off restraint and is confident.
17 He who is short of temper[l] will act foolishly,
and the man who schemes will be hated.
18 The simple are adorned with folly,
but the clever are crowned with knowledge.
19 The evil bow down before the good,
and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 The poor is disliked even by his neighbor,
but the lovers of the rich are many.
21 He who despises his neighbor is a sinner,
but he who has mercy on the poor blesses him.
22 Have they not erred, those who plan evil?
But loyalty and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.
23 In all toil, there is profit,
but the talk[m] of lips leads only to poverty.
24 The crown of the wise is their wealth;
the folly of fools is folly.
25 He who saves lives[n] is a witness of truth,
but he who utters lies is a betrayer.
26 In the fear of Yahweh, there is confidence of strength,
and for his children, there will be refuge.
27 The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life,
in order to turn from the snares of death.
28 In the multitude of people is the glory of the king,
but without a population, a prince is ruined.
29 He who is slow to anger has great understanding,
but the hasty of spirit[o] exalts folly.
30 A heart[p] of tranquility[q] is life to the flesh,
but causes bones of passion to rot.
31 He who oppresses the poor insults him who made him,
but he who has mercy on the poor honors him.
32 By his evildoing, the wicked will be overthrown,
and the righteous will find refuge in his death.
33 In the heart[r] of him who has understanding, wisdom rests,
but even in the midst of fools it becomes known.
34 Righteousness will exalt a nation,
but sin is a reproach to a people.
35 The favor of a king is for the servant who deals wisely,
but his wrath will be on him who acts shamefully.
