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
Young's Literal Translation
16 Of man [are] arrangements of the heart, And from Jehovah an answer of the tongue.
2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, And Jehovah is pondering the spirits.
3 Roll unto Jehovah thy works, And established are thy purposes,
4 All things hath Jehovah wrought for Himself, And also the wicked [worketh] for a day of evil.
5 An abomination to Jehovah [is] every proud one of heart, Hand to hand he is not acquitted.
6 In kindness and truth pardoned is iniquity, And in the fear of Jehovah Turn thou aside from evil.
7 When a man's ways please Jehovah, even his enemies, He causeth to be at peace with him.
8 Better [is] a little with righteousness, Than abundance of increase without justice.
9 The heart of man deviseth his way, And Jehovah establisheth his step.
10 An oath [is] on the lips of a king, In judgment his mouth trespasseth not.
11 A just beam and balances [are] Jehovah's, His work [are] all the stones of the bag.
12 An abomination to kings [is] doing wickedness, For by righteousness is a throne established.
13 The delight of kings [are] righteous lips, And whoso is speaking uprightly he loveth,
14 The fury of a king [is] messengers of death, And a wise man pacifieth it.
15 In the light of a king's face [is] life, And his good-will [is] as a cloud of the latter rain.
16 To get wisdom -- how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!
17 A highway of the upright [is], `Turn from evil,' Whoso is preserving his soul is watching his way.
18 Before destruction [is] pride, And before stumbling -- a haughty spirit.'
19 Better is humility of spirit with the poor, Than to apportion spoil with the proud.
20 The wise in any matter findeth good, And whoso is trusting in Jehovah, O his happiness.
21 To the wise in heart is called, `Intelligent,' And sweetness of lips increaseth learning.
22 A fountain of life [is] understanding to its possessors, The instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise causeth his mouth to act wisely, And by his lips he increaseth learning,
24 Sayings of pleasantness [are] a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bone.
25 There is a way right before a man, And its latter end -- ways of death.
26 A labouring man hath laboured for himself, For his mouth hath caused [him] to bend over it.
27 A worthless man is preparing evil, And on his lips -- as a burning fire.
28 A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend.
29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, And hath causeth him to go in a way not good.
30 Consulting his eyes to devise froward things, Moving his lips he hath accomplished evil.
31 A crown of beauty [are] grey hairs, In the way of righteousness it is found.
32 Better [is] the slow to anger than the mighty, And the ruler over his spirit than he who is taking a city.
33 Into the centre is the lot cast, And from Jehovah [is] all its judgment!
