箴言 16
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
16 心中的策劃在於人，
應對之言來自耶和華。
2 人看自己的行為都純全，
但是耶和華卻衡量人心。
3 把你的事交托耶和華，
你的計劃必實現。
4 耶和華所造的萬物各有其用，
連惡人也是為災難之日所造。
5 耶和華厭惡心驕氣傲者，
他們必逃不過祂的責罰。
6 慈愛和忠信可讓罪惡得贖，
敬畏耶和華使人遠離罪惡。
7 人所行的若蒙耶和華喜悅，
耶和華必使仇敵與他和好。
8 財物雖少但行事公義，
勝過家財萬貫卻不公義。
9 人心中籌畫自己的道路，
但耶和華決定他的腳步。
10 王口中有上帝的話，
斷案時必無差錯。
11 公道的秤與天平屬於耶和華，
袋中一切的法碼由祂制定。
12 君王憎恨惡行，
因王位靠公義而立。
13 王喜愛公義的言詞，
器重說話正直的人。
14 王的烈怒如死亡使者，
然而智者能平息王怒。
15 王的笑容帶給人生命，
他的恩惠像春雨之雲。
16 得智慧勝過得黃金，
獲悟性勝過獲白銀。
17 正直人的大道遠離罪惡，
堅守正道的保全性命。
18 驕橫是淪亡的前奏，
狂傲是敗落的預兆。
19 寧可謙卑地與貧寒人相處，
也不跟狂傲人共享戰利品。
20 聽從訓言的人受益匪淺，
信靠耶和華的人蒙祝福。
21 智者以明辨著稱，
甜言能說服人心。
22 智慧是智者的生命泉，
愚昧為愚人帶來懲罰。
23 智者三思而後言，
其言使人長見識。
24 良言如蜜，
使人心靈甘甜、身體康健。
25 有一條路看似正確，
最終卻通向死亡。
26 工人的胃口促他工作，
口腹之需是他的動力。
27 不務正業的人圖謀惡事，
他的口舌如烈焰般危險。
28 邪僻的人散播紛爭，
造謠的人破壞友情。
29 殘暴之徒引誘鄰舍走入歧途。
30 惡人眯起眼睛圖謀不軌，
歹徒咬著嘴唇策劃惡事。
31 白髮是榮耀的冠冕，
行為公義方能得到。
32 不輕易發怒者勝過勇士，
能自我控制勝過攻陷城池。
33 人可以搖籤求問，
但耶和華決定一切。
Proverbs 16
New International Reader's Version
Proverbs 16
New International Reader's Version
16 People make plans in their hearts.
But the Lord puts the correct answer on their tongues.
2 Everything a person does might seem pure to them.
But the Lord knows why they do what they do.
3 Commit to the Lord everything you do.
Then he will make your plans succeed.
4 The Lord works everything out to the proper end.
Even those who do wrong were made for a day of trouble.
5 The Lord hates all those who have proud hearts.
You can be sure that they will be punished.
6 Through love and truth sin is paid for.
People avoid evil when they have respect for the Lord.
7 When the way you live pleases the Lord,
he makes even your enemies live at peace with you.
8 It is better to have a little and do right
than to have a lot and be unfair.
9 In their hearts human beings plan their lives.
But the Lord decides where their steps will take them.
10 A king speaks as if his words come from God.
And what he says does not turn right into wrong.
11 Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord.
He made all the weights in the bag.
12 A king hates it when his people do what is wrong.
A ruler is made secure when they do what is right.
13 Kings are pleased when what you say is honest.
They value people who speak what is right.
14 An angry king can order your death.
But a wise person will try to calm him down.
15 When a king’s face is happy, it means life.
His favor is like rain in the spring.
16 It is much better to get wisdom than gold.
It is much better to choose understanding than silver.
17 The path of honest people takes them away from evil.
Those who guard their ways guard their lives.
18 If you are proud, you will be destroyed.
If you are proud, you will fall.
19 Suppose you are lowly in spirit along with those who are treated badly.
That’s better than sharing stolen goods with those who are proud.
20 If anyone pays attention to what they’re taught, they will succeed.
Blessed is the person who trusts in the Lord.
21 Wise hearts are known for understanding what is right.
Kind words make people want to learn more.
22 Understanding is like a fountain of life to those who have it.
But foolish people are punished for the foolish things they do.
23 The hearts of wise people guide their mouths.
Their words make people want to learn more.
24 Kind words are like honey.
They are sweet to the spirit and bring healing to the body.
25 There is a way that appears to be right.
But in the end it leads to death.
26 The hunger of workers makes them work.
Their hunger drives them on.
27 A worthless person plans to do evil things.
Their words are like a burning fire.
28 A twisted person stirs up conflict.
Anyone who talks about others separates close friends.
29 A person who wants to hurt others tries to get them to sin.
That person leads them down a path that isn’t good.
30 Whoever winks with their eye is planning to do wrong.
Whoever closes their lips tightly is up to no good.
31 Gray hair is a glorious crown.
You get it by living the right way.
32 It is better to be patient than to fight.
It is better to control your temper than to take a city.
33 Lots are cast into the lap to make decisions.
But everything they decide comes from the Lord.
Proverbs 16
New International Version
Proverbs 16
New International Version
16 To humans belong the plans of the heart,
but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.(A)
3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.(E)
6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;
through the fear of the Lord(J) evil is avoided.(K)
7 When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way,
he causes their enemies to make peace(L) with them.(M)
9 In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps.(P)
10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle,
and his mouth does not betray justice.(Q)
11 Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord;
all the weights in the bag are of his making.(R)
12 Kings detest wrongdoing,
for a throne is established through righteousness.(S)
13 Kings take pleasure in honest lips;
they value the one who speaks what is right.(T)
17 The highway of the upright avoids evil;
those who guard their ways preserve their lives.(AA)
19 Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed
than to share plunder with the proud.
20 Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,[a](AE)
and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.(AF)
22 Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent,(AH)
but folly brings punishment to fools.
26 The appetite of laborers works for them;
their hunger drives them on.
29 A violent person entices their neighbor
and leads them down a path that is not good.(AS)
30 Whoever winks(AT) with their eye is plotting perversity;
whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.
31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor;(AU)
it is attained in the way of righteousness.
32 Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.
