箴言 19
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

19 行為正直的窮人，
    勝過詭詐的愚人。
2 熱誠卻無知不足取，
    行動急躁難免有錯。
3 人因愚昧而自毀前程，
    他的心卻抱怨耶和華。
4 財富招來許多朋友，
    窮人卻遭朋友拋棄。
5 作偽證者難免受罰，
    撒謊的人罪責難逃。
6 大家都討好慷慨的人，
    人人都結交好施贈的。
7 窮人被親人厭棄，
    朋友都遠遠躲避。
    他苦苦哀求，也無人理會。
8 得到智慧的珍惜生命，
    持守悟性的享受福樂。
9 作偽證者難免受罰，
    撒謊的人自取滅亡。
10 愚人奢華宴樂不相宜，
    奴隸管轄王子更離譜。
11 智者不輕易發怒，
    饒恕是他的榮耀。
12 君王的震怒像雄獅怒吼，
    君王的恩澤如草上甘露。
13 愚昧之子是父親的災殃，
    爭鬧之妻如雨滴漏不止。
14 房屋錢財是祖先的遺產，
    賢慧之妻乃耶和華所賜。
15 懶惰使人沉睡，
    懈怠使人挨餓。
16 遵守誡命的保全性命，
    藐視誡命的自尋死路。
17 善待窮人等於借貸給耶和華，
    耶和華必回報他的善行。
18 管教孩子宜早不宜晚，
    不可任由他走向滅亡。
19 脾氣暴躁的人必吃苦頭。
    你若救他，一次肯定不夠。
20 你要受教聽勸，
    以便得到智慧。
21 人心中有許多計劃，
    唯耶和華的旨意成就。
22 人心愛慕忠誠，
    受窮勝過撒謊。
23 敬畏耶和華使人得享生命，
    安然滿足，免遭禍患。
24 懶惰人手放在餐盤，
    卻懶得送食物進嘴。
25 責打嘲諷者，愚人學會謹慎；
    責備明哲人，他會增長見識。
26 苛待父親的人可鄙，
    逼走母親的人可恥。
27 孩子啊，你若不聽教誨，
    就會偏離知識。
28 作偽證者嘲諷公義，
    惡人的口吞吃罪惡。
29 刑罰對付嘲諷者，
    鞭子責打愚人背。

Proverbs 19
Lexham English Bible

19 Better a poor person walking in integrity
    than one who is perverse in his speech[a] and is a fool.
2 Also, a life[b] without knowledge is not good,
    and he who moves quickly with his feet misses the mark.[c]
3 As for the folly of humankind, its way leads to ruin,
    and against Yahweh his heart[d] will rage.
4 Wealth adds many friends,
    but the poor will be left by his friends.
5 A witness of falsehood will not go unpunished,
    and he who breathes lies will not escape.
6 Many will seek favor before the generous,
    and everyone is the friend of a man of gifts.[e]
7 All the brothers of the poor, if they hate him,
    how much more will his friends keep away from him.
    He pursues them with words, and they are gone.[f]
8 He who acquires wisdom loves himself;[g]
    he who guards understanding loves to find good.
9 A false witness will not go unpunished,
    and he who breathes lies will perish.
10 For a fool living in luxury is not fitting,
    any more than it is for a slave to rule over princes.
11 The understanding of a person makes him slow to his anger,[h]
    and his glory overlooks offense.
12 The rage of a king growls like a lion,
    but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13 A foolish child is a ruin to his father,
    and the quarreling of a woman[i] is a continuous dripping.
14 A house and wealth are an inheritance from fathers,
    but from Yahweh comes a woman[j] who is prudent.
15 Laziness will bring on a deep sleep,
    and a person[k] of idleness will suffer hunger.
16 He who guards commandments guards his life;[l]
    he who is careless of his ways will be killed.
17 He who lends to Yahweh is he who is kind to the poor,
    and his benefits he will repay to him.
18 Discipline your child, for there is hope,
    but on his destruction do not set your desire.[m]
19 A hot-tempered person pays a penalty;
    if you rescue him, you will do it yet again.
20 Listen to advice and accept instruction
    so that you will gain wisdom for your future.[n]
21 Many plans are in the heart[o] of a man,
    but the purpose of Yahweh will be established.
22 The craving of a man is his steadfast loyalty,
    and it is better to be poor than a liar.[p]
23 Fear of Yahweh leads to life;
    he who is filled with it will rest—he will not suffer harm.
24 A lazy person buries his hand in the dish,
    and even to his mouth he will not bring it back.
25 The scoffer you shall strike, and the simple, may they learn prudence,
    and reprove the intelligent and he will gain knowledge.
26 He who does violence to a father, he who chases away a mother,
    is a child who causes shame and brings reproach.
27 Cease to listen to instruction, my child,
    and you will stray[q] from sayings of knowledge.
28 A worthless witness will mock justice,
    and the mouth of the wicked will devour iniquity.
29 Judgments[r] are prepared for the scoffers,
    and flogging for the back of fools.
