箴言 15
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
15 温和的回答平息怒气，
粗暴的言词激起愤怒。
2 智者的舌头传扬知识，
愚人的嘴巴吐露愚昧。
3 耶和华的眼目无所不在，
善人和恶人都被祂鉴察。
4 温和的言词带来生命，
乖谬的话语伤透人心。
5 愚人蔑视父亲的管教，
接受责备的才算明智。
6 义人家中财富充足，
恶人得利惹来祸患。
7 智者的嘴传扬知识，
愚人的心并非如此。
8 耶和华憎恨恶人的祭物，
悦纳正直人的祈祷。
9 耶和华憎恨恶人的行径，
喜爱追求公义的人。
10 背离正道，必遭严惩；
厌恶责备，必致死亡。
11 阴间和冥府[a]在耶和华面前尚且无法隐藏，
何况世人的心思呢！
12 嘲讽者不爱听责备，
也不愿请教智者。
13 心中喜乐，容光焕发；
心里悲伤，精神颓丧。
14 哲士渴慕知识，
愚人安于愚昧。
15 困苦人天天受煎熬，
乐观者常常有喜乐。
16 财物虽少但敬畏耶和华，
胜过家财万贯却充满烦恼。
17 粗茶淡饭但彼此相爱，
胜过美酒佳肴却互相憎恨。
18 脾气暴躁，惹起争端；
忍耐克制，平息纠纷。
19 懒惰人的路布满荆棘，
正直人的道平坦宽阔。
20 智慧之子使父亲欢喜，
愚昧的人却藐视母亲。
21 无知者以愚昧为乐，
明哲人遵循正道。
22 独断专行，计划失败；
集思广益，事无不成。
23 应对得体，心中愉快；
言语合宜，何等美好！
24 智者循生命之路上升，
以免坠入阴间。
25 耶和华拆毁傲慢人的房屋，
祂使寡妇的地界完整无损。
26 耶和华憎恨恶人的意念，
喜爱纯洁的言语。
27 贪爱财富，自害己家；
厌恶贿赂，安然存活。
28 义人三思而后答，
恶人张口吐恶言。
29 耶和华远离恶人，
却听义人的祷告。
30 笑颜令人心喜，
喜讯滋润骨头。
31 倾听生命的训诫，
使人与智者同列。
32 不受管教就是轻看自己，
听从责备才能得到智慧。
33 敬畏耶和华使人得智慧，
学会谦卑后才能得尊荣。
Proverbs 15
American Standard Version
15 A soft answer turneth away wrath;
But a grievous word stirreth up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright;
But the mouth of fools poureth out folly.
3 The eyes of Jehovah are in every place,
Keeping watch upon the evil and the good.
4 [a]A gentle tongue is a tree of life;
But perverseness therein is a breaking of the spirit.
5 A fool despiseth his father’s [b]correction;
But he that regardeth reproof [c]getteth prudence.
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 [d]doeth not so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah;
But the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah;
But he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10 There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way;
And he that hateth reproof shall die.
11 Sheol and [e]Abaddon are before Jehovah;
How much more then the hearts of the children of men!
12 A scoffer loveth not to be reproved;
He will not go unto the wise.
13 A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance;
But by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge;
But the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil;
But he that is of a cheerful heart hath a continual feast.
16 Better is little, with the fear of Jehovah,
Than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17 Better is a [f]dinner of herbs, where love is,
Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up contention;
But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19 The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns;
But the path of the upright is made a highway.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father;
But a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him that is void of [g]wisdom;
But a man of understanding maketh straight his going.
22 Where there is no counsel, purposes are disappointed;
But in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23 A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth;
And a word in due season, how good is it!
24 To the wise the way of life goeth upward,
That he may depart from Sheol beneath.
25 Jehovah will root up the house of the proud;
But he will establish the border of the widow.
26 Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah;
But [h]pleasant words are pure.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house;
But he that hateth bribes shall live.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer;
But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29 Jehovah is far from the wicked;
But he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart;
And good tidings make the bones fat.
31 The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life
Shall abide among the wise.
32 He that refuseth [i]correction despiseth his own soul;
But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth [j]understanding.
33 The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom;
And before honor goeth humility.
