箴言 25
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
所罗门的箴言（续）
25 以下也是所罗门的箴言，由犹大王希西迦的人抄录。
2 将事隐藏是上帝的荣耀，
把事查明是君王的光荣。
3 天之高，地之厚，
君王的心测不透。
4 除掉银子里的渣滓，
银匠就能铸造器皿。
5 清除君王身边的恶人，
王位必因公义而巩固。
6 不可在王面前妄自尊大，
不要占据大人物的位子。
7 与其在权贵面前受羞辱，
不如等人邀请你坐上座。
8 不可鲁莽地打官司，
以免败诉、羞愧难当。
9 遇到跟邻舍争讼，
不可泄露其秘密，
10 免得听见的人辱骂你，
你的恶名将永难洗刷。
11 一句话说得合宜，
就像金苹果放在银器里。
12 对受教者而言，
智者的责备犹如金耳环和金饰物。
13 忠信的使者叫主人心里舒畅，
就像夏收之时有冰雪的凉气。
14 夸口送礼物却食言的人，
就像没有雨水的风和云。
15 坚忍说服君王，
柔舌折断骨头。
16 找到蜂蜜要酌量而食，
免得吃多了呕吐。
17 不要频频去邻舍家，
免得惹人烦、遭人厌。
18 作伪证陷害邻舍的人，
无异于大锤、刀和利箭。
19 危难时投靠奸诈之人，
形同倚靠坏牙和跛脚。
20 对忧伤的人唱歌，
如同天寒脱衣、伤口撒盐。
21 你的仇敌若饿了，
就给他吃的；
若渴了，就给他水喝；
22 因为你这是把炭火堆在他头上，
耶和华必奖赏你。
23 北风带来雨水，
谗言激起愤怒。
24 宁愿住在屋顶的一角，
不跟争闹的妻子同屋。
25 有好消息从远方传来，
如凉水滋润干渴的人。
26 义人向恶人低头，
就像清泉被搅浑，
水井受污染。
27 蜂蜜吃得太多有害无益，
追求自己的荣耀也不光彩。
28 无法自制的人就像被攻破的无墙之城。
Proverbs 25
Young's Literal Translation
25 Also these are Proverbs of Solomon, that men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed: --
2 The honour of God [is] to hide a thing, And the honour of kings to search out a matter.
3 The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, And the heart of kings -- [are] unsearchable.
4 Take away dross from silver, And a vessel for the refiner goeth forth,
5 Take away the wicked before a king, And established in righteousness is his throne.
6 Honour not thyself before a king, And in the place of the great stand not.
7 For better [that] he hath said to thee, `Come thou up hither,' Than [that] he humble thee before a noble, Whom thine eyes have seen.
8 Go not forth to strive, haste, turn, What dost thou in its latter end, When thy neighbour causeth thee to blush?
9 Thy cause plead with thy neighbour, And the secret counsel of another reveal not,
10 Lest the hearer put thee to shame, And thine evil report turn not back.
11 Apples of gold in imagery of silver, [Is] the word spoken at its fit times.
12 A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, [Is] the wise reprover to an attentive ear.
13 As a vessel of snow in a day of harvest, [So is] a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And the soul of his masters he refresheth.
14 Clouds and wind, and rain there is none, [Is] a man boasting himself in a false gift.
15 By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh a bone.
16 Honey thou hast found -- eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated [with] it, and hast vomited it.
17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house, Lest he be satiated [with] thee, and have hated thee.
18 A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, [Is] the man testifying against his neighbour a false testimony.
19 A bad tooth, and a tottering foot, [Is] the confidence of the treacherous in a day of adversity.
20 Whoso is taking away a garment in a cold day, [Is as] vinegar on nitre, And a singer of songs on a sad heart.
21 If he who is hating thee doth hunger, cause him to eat bread, And if he thirst, cause him to drink water.
22 For coals thou art putting on his head, And Jehovah giveth recompense to thee.
23 A north wind bringeth forth rain, And a secret tongue -- indignant faces.
24 Better to sit on a corner of a roof, Than [with] a woman of contentions, and a house of company.
25 [As] cold waters for a weary soul, So [is] a good report from a far country.
26 A spring troubled, and a fountain corrupt, [Is] the righteous falling before the wicked.
27 The eating of much honey is not good, Nor a searching out of one's own honour -- honour.
28 A city broken down without walls, [Is] a man without restraint over his spirit!
