箴言 25-26
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
所羅門的箴言（續）
25 以下也是所羅門的箴言，由猶大王希西迦的人抄錄。
2 將事隱藏是上帝的榮耀，
把事查明是君王的光榮。
3 天之高，地之厚，
君王的心測不透。
4 除掉銀子裡的渣滓，
銀匠就能鑄造器皿。
5 清除君王身邊的惡人，
王位必因公義而鞏固。
6 不可在王面前妄自尊大，
不要佔據大人物的位子。
7 與其在權貴面前受羞辱，
不如等人邀請你坐上座。
8 不可魯莽地打官司，
以免敗訴、羞愧難當。
9 遇到跟鄰舍爭訟，
不可洩露其秘密，
10 免得聽見的人辱罵你，
你的惡名將永難洗刷。
11 一句話說得合宜，
就像金蘋果放在銀器裡。
12 對受教者而言，
智者的責備猶如金耳環和金飾物。
13 忠信的使者叫主人心裡舒暢，
就像夏收之時有冰雪的涼氣。
14 誇口送禮物卻食言的人，
就像沒有雨水的風和雲。
15 堅忍說服君王，
柔舌折斷骨頭。
16 找到蜂蜜要酌量而食，
免得吃多了嘔吐。
17 不要頻頻去鄰舍家，
免得惹人煩、遭人厭。
18 作偽證陷害鄰舍的人，
無異於大錘、刀和利箭。
19 危難時投靠奸詐之人，
形同倚靠壞牙和跛腳。
20 對憂傷的人唱歌，
如同天寒脫衣、傷口撒鹽。
21 你的仇敵若餓了，
就給他吃的；
若渴了，就給他水喝；
22 因為你這是把炭火堆在他頭上，
耶和華必獎賞你。
23 北風帶來雨水，
讒言激起憤怒。
24 寧願住在屋頂的一角，
不跟爭鬧的妻子同屋。
25 有好消息從遠方傳來，
如涼水滋潤乾渴的人。
26 義人向惡人低頭，
就像清泉被攪渾，
水井受污染。
27 蜂蜜吃得太多有害無益，
追求自己的榮耀也不光彩。
28 無法自制的人就像被攻破的無牆之城。
26 愚人得尊榮本不合宜，
如夏天降雪、收割時下雨。
2 麻雀翻飛，燕子翱翔，
咒詛不會無端降臨。
3 鞭子打馬，韁繩勒驢，
棍棒責打愚人的背。
4 別照愚人的愚昧回答他，
免得你像他一樣。
5 要照愚人的愚昧回答他，
免得他自以為有智慧。
6 靠愚人傳信，
如同砍斷自己的腳，
自討苦吃。
7 愚人口中說箴言，
如同跛子空有腿。
8 把尊榮給愚人，
就像把石子綁在甩石器上。
9 愚人口中說箴言，
如同醉漢握荊棘。
10 雇用愚人或路人，
如同弓箭手亂箭傷人。
11 愚人一再重複愚昧事，
就像狗回頭吃所吐的。
12 自以為有智慧的人，
還不如愚人有希望。
13 懶惰人說：「路上有獅子，
街上有猛獅。」
14 懶惰人賴在床上滾來滾去，
就像門在門軸上轉來轉去。
15 懶惰人手放在餐盤，
卻懶得送食物進嘴。
16 懶惰人自以為比七個善於應對的人更有智慧。
17 插手他人的糾紛，
猶如揪狗的耳朵。
18-19 欺騙鄰舍還說是開玩笑，
如同瘋子亂拋火把、亂射箭。
20 沒有木柴，火自然熄滅；
沒有閒話，爭端便平息。
21 好鬥之人煽動爭端，
如同餘火加炭、火上加柴。
22 閒言閒語如可口的美食，
輕易進入人的五臟六腑。
23 火熱的嘴，邪惡的心，
猶如瓦器鍍了層銀。
24 怨恨人的用美言掩飾自己，
心中卻藏著詭詐。
25 縱然他甜言蜜語，你也不可信他，
因為他心中充滿各種可憎之事。
26 雖然他用詭計掩飾怨恨，
他的邪惡必被會眾揭穿。
27 挖陷阱的，必自陷其中；
滾石頭的，必自傷己身。
28 撒謊的舌恨它所害的人，
諂媚的嘴帶來毀滅。

More Proverbs of Solomon
25 These are more proverbs(A) of Solomon, compiled by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah:(B)
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter;
to search out a matter is the glory of kings.(C)
3 As the heavens are high and the earth is deep,
so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
4 Remove the dross from the silver,
and a silversmith can produce a vessel;
5 remove wicked officials from the king’s presence,(D)
and his throne will be established(E) through righteousness.(F)
6 Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,
and do not claim a place among his great men;
7 it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,”(G)
than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.
What you have seen with your eyes
8 do not bring[a] hastily to court,
for what will you do in the end
if your neighbor puts you to shame?(H)
9 If you take your neighbor to court,
do not betray another’s confidence,
10 or the one who hears it may shame you
and the charge against you will stand.
11 Like apples[b] of gold in settings of silver(I)
is a ruling rightly given.
12 Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold
is the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear.(J)
13 Like a snow-cooled drink at harvest time
is a trustworthy messenger to the one who sends him;
he refreshes the spirit of his master.(K)
14 Like clouds and wind without rain
is one who boasts of gifts never given.
16 If you find honey, eat just enough—
too much of it, and you will vomit.(N)
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house—
too much of you, and they will hate you.
18 Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow
is one who gives false testimony against a neighbor.(O)
19 Like a broken tooth or a lame foot
is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.
20 Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day,
or like vinegar poured on a wound,
is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals(P) on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.(Q)
23 Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain
is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.
24 Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.(R)
25 Like cold water to a weary soul
is good news from a distant land.(S)
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well
are the righteous who give way to the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat too much honey,(T)
nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.(U)
28 Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.
26 Like snow in summer or rain(V) in harvest,
honor is not fitting for a fool.(W)
2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,
an undeserved curse does not come to rest.(X)
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,(Y)
and a rod for the backs of fools!(Z)
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
or you yourself will be just like him.(AA)
5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
or he will be wise in his own eyes.(AB)
6 Sending a message by the hands of a fool(AC)
is like cutting off one’s feet or drinking poison.
7 Like the useless legs of one who is lame
is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.(AD)
8 Like tying a stone in a sling
is the giving of honor to a fool.(AE)
9 Like a thornbush in a drunkard’s hand
is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.(AF)
10 Like an archer who wounds at random
is one who hires a fool or any passer-by.
11 As a dog returns to its vomit,(AG)
so fools repeat their folly.(AH)
12 Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?(AI)
There is more hope for a fool than for them.(AJ)
13 A sluggard says,(AK) “There’s a lion in the road,
a fierce lion roaming the streets!”(AL)
14 As a door turns on its hinges,
so a sluggard turns on his bed.(AM)
15 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.(AN)
16 A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
than seven people who answer discreetly.
17 Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears
is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
18 Like a maniac shooting
flaming arrows of death
19 is one who deceives their neighbor
and says, “I was only joking!”
20 Without wood a fire goes out;
without a gossip a quarrel dies down.(AO)
21 As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.(AP)
22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.(AQ)
23 Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware
are fervent[c] lips with an evil heart.
24 Enemies disguise themselves with their lips,(AR)
but in their hearts they harbor deceit.(AS)
25 Though their speech is charming,(AT) do not believe them,
for seven abominations fill their hearts.(AU)
26 Their malice may be concealed by deception,
but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 Whoever digs a pit(AV) will fall into it;(AW)
if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.(AX)
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts,
and a flattering mouth(AY) works ruin.

King James Version
Proverbs 25-26
King James Version
25 These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
7 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
10 Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
18 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
20 As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
23 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
26 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.
10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

9 關於捐助聖徒的事，其實我不必再寫信提醒你們， 2 因我知道你們的熱心。我向馬其頓教會的人誇耀你們，說亞該亞人的捐款在一年前就預備好了，你們的熱心激勵了許多人。 3 現在我先派這幾位弟兄到你們那裡，以便你們把捐款預備好，正如我所說的那樣，免得我們在這件事上誇耀你們的話成了虛言。 4 因為萬一有馬其頓的人與我同去，發現你們並沒有準備好，不但我們會因如此信任你們而羞愧，你們也會無地自容。 5 因此，我認為有必要請那幾位弟兄先去你們那裡，將你們從前認捐的款項收集妥當，這樣就表明你們的捐贈是出於甘心樂意，而不是出於勉強。
甘心樂意地捐助
6 要記住：「少種的少收，多種的多收。」 7 各人心裡想捐多少就捐多少，不要勉強，不要為難。因為捐得甘心樂意的人才是上帝所喜愛的。 8 上帝能夠將各樣的恩典多多賜給你們，使你們在各方面常常富足有餘，可以多行各樣的善事。 9 正如聖經上說：
「他慷慨施捨、賙濟窮人，
他的仁義永遠長存。」
10 賜農夫種子又賜人糧食的上帝，必加倍賜給你們種子，使你們收穫更多仁義的果子， 11 叫你們事事豐裕，可以多多施捨。這樣，從我們這裡得到你們幫助的人便會向上帝獻上感恩。 12 因為這件善事不單可以幫助經濟困難的聖徒，也使許多人對上帝充滿感恩。 13 通過這件善事，他們會把榮耀歸給上帝，因為看見你們信服基督的福音，慷慨地幫助他們及眾人。 14 他們也會因上帝賜給你們的豐盛恩典而熱切地為你們禱告。 15 感謝上帝，祂的恩賜真是無以言表！

你们的奉献是祝福
9 关于对耶路撒冷上帝子民帮助的问题，我根本没有必要继续给你们写什么了。 2 因为我知道你们乐意助人。为此我一直向马其顿人夸耀你们，告诉他们你们在亚该亚的教会从去年起就做好了奉献的准备，你们的热情还激励了他们大部分人，他们都行动起来了。 3 我派这些兄弟们到你们这里来，为的是在这件事情上证明我们对你们的夸耀不是空话，而是像我所说的那样，你们会做好准备。 4 否则，如果一些马其顿人和我来时，看到你们并没有准备好，我们就会很尴尬，因为我们对你们非常自信。（至于你们的惭愧，就更不用说了）。 5 所以我认为有必要派兄弟们在我们之前去拜访你们，把你们以前许诺的那些丰盛的礼物提前准备好，这样，你们的奉献就是心甘情愿的，而不是出于迫不得己。
6 记住这句话：少种的人少收，多种的人多收。 7 每个人的奉献都应该发自内心，而不是带着不情愿或勉强。因为上帝喜欢快乐的奉献者。 8 上帝给了你们的恩赐不仅满足你们的需要，还会绰绰有余，好让你们去为各种慈善事业出力。 9 正如《经》上所说：
“他慷慨地赐给了穷人，
他的善良永无止境。” (A)
10 上帝把种子赐给播种的人，还赐给人们吃的面包。他赐给你们属灵的种子，并让你们的种子生长，让你们的善举获得硕果。 11 上帝会使你们在各方面都非常富有，以便你们随时都能非常慷慨地给予。你们的慷慨通过我们将会使人们感谢上帝。 12 你们在这次神圣的服务中的表现不仅满足了上帝子民的需要，而且也给上帝带来了众多的感激。 13 因为你们这次的服务是你们的信仰的证据，人们会因为你们顺从自己宣称的基督福音，也为你们慷慨地与他们以及所有的人共享而赞美上帝。 14 他们在为你们祈祷时，渴望着见到你们。因为上帝给予了你们非凡的恩典。 15 感谢上帝那难以形容的恩赐。
2 Corinthians 9
New International Version
2 Corinthians 9
New International Version
9 There is no need(A) for me to write to you about this service(B) to the Lord’s people.(C) 2 For I know your eagerness to help,(D) and I have been boasting(E) about it to the Macedonians, telling them that since last year(F) you in Achaia(G) were ready to give; and your enthusiasm has stirred most of them to action. 3 But I am sending the brothers(H) in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove hollow, but that you may be ready, as I said you would be.(I) 4 For if any Macedonians(J) come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident. 5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers(K) to visit you in advance and finish the arrangements for the generous gift you had promised. Then it will be ready as a generous gift,(L) not as one grudgingly given.(M)
Generosity Encouraged
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.(N) 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give,(O) not reluctantly or under compulsion,(P) for God loves a cheerful giver.(Q) 8 And God is able(R) to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need,(S) you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written:
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food(V) will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.(W) 11 You will be enriched(X) in every way so that you can be generous(Y) on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.(Z)
12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs(AA) of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.(AB) 13 Because of the service(AC) by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God(AD) for the obedience that accompanies your confession(AE) of the gospel of Christ,(AF) and for your generosity(AG) in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God(AH) for his indescribable gift!(AI)

2 Corinthians 9
King James Version
2 Corinthians 9
King James Version
9 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
2 For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
3 Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:
4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.
5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.
6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
