箴言 26
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
當以愚昧懶惰人為戒
26 夏天落雪，收割時下雨，都不合宜；
照樣，愚昧人獲得尊榮，也不合宜。
2 麻雀怎樣飛來飛去，燕子怎樣翻飛；
照樣，無故的咒詛也不會臨到人。
3 鞭子是為了打馬，嚼環是為了勒驢；
刑杖是為了打愚昧人的背。
4 不要照著愚昧人的愚妄回答他，
免得你像他一樣。
5 要照著愚昧人的愚妄回答他，
免得他自以為有智慧。
6 藉愚昧人的手傳遞信息的，
是自斷己足，自尋煩惱。
7 箴言在愚昧人口中，
就像瘸子的腿，虛懸無用。
8 把榮耀給愚昧人的，
就像人把石子繫在投石器上。
9 箴言在愚昧人口中，
就像荊棘在醉漢手裡。
10 雇用愚昧人和過路人的，
就像胡亂射傷眾人的弓箭手。
11 愚昧人一再重複他的愚妄，
正像狗轉過來，吃自己所吐的。
12 你見過自以為有智慧的人嗎？
愚昧人比他更有指望。
13 懶惰人說：“路上有獅子，
廣場上也有獅子。”
14 懶惰人在床上翻動，
就像門繞著門鉸轉動一樣。
15 懶惰人把手放在盤子裡，
連拿食物送回口邊也覺得勞累。
16 懶惰人看自己，
比七個善於應對的人更有智慧。
提防毀謗及詭詐的人
17 過路的人被激怒，去干涉與自己無關的爭執，
就像人揪住狗的耳朵。
18-19 人欺騙了鄰舍，
卻說：“我不過是開玩笑罷了。”
他就像瘋狂的人，
投擲火把、利箭和殺人的武器。
20 沒有柴，火就熄滅；
沒有搬弄是非的人，紛爭就平息。
21 好爭競的人，煽動爭端，
就像餘燼上加炭，火上加柴一樣。
22 搬弄是非的人的言語如同美食；
深入人的臟腑。
23 嘴唇火熱，心卻奸惡，
就像包上銀渣的瓦器。
24 憎惡人的用話語掩飾自己，
心裡卻存著詭詐。
25 他的話語雖然動聽，你不可信他，
因為他心裡有七樣可厭惡的事。
26 他的怨恨雖然以詭詐掩飾，
但他的邪惡必在大會中顯露出來。
27 挖掘陷坑的，自己必掉在其中；
輥石頭的，石頭必輥回自己身上。
28 虛謊的舌頭憎惡被它傷害的人；
諂媚的口造成敗壞。
Proverbs 26
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Proverbs 26
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,(E)
and a rod for the backs of fools.(F)
4 Don’t answer a fool according to his foolishness(G)
or you’ll be like him yourself.
5 Answer a fool according to his foolishness(H)
or he’ll become wise in his own eyes.(I)
6 The one who sends a message by a fool’s hand(J)
cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.(K)
7 A proverb in the mouth of a fool
is like lame legs that hang limp.
8 Giving honour to a fool
is like binding a stone in a sling.
9 A proverb in the mouth of a fool
is like a stick with thorns,
brandished by[a] the hand of a drunkard.
10 The one who hires a fool or who hires those passing by
is like an archer who wounds everyone indiscriminately.
11 As a dog returns to its vomit,
so also a fool repeats his foolishness.(L)
12 Do you see a person who is wise in his own eyes?(M)
There is more hope for a fool than for him.(N)
13 The slacker says, ‘There’s a lion in the road –
a lion in the public square! ’(O)
14 A door turns on its hinges,
and a slacker, on his bed.(P)
15 The slacker buries his hand in the bowl;
he is too weary to bring it to his mouth!(Q)
16 In his own eyes, a slacker is wiser(R)
than seven who can answer sensibly.
17 A person who is passing by and meddles in a quarrel that’s not his
is like one who grabs a dog by the ears.
18 Like a madman who throws flaming darts and deadly arrows,(S)
19 so is the person who deceives his neighbour
and says, ‘I was only joking! ’
20 Without wood, fire goes out;
without a gossip, conflict dies down.(T)
21 As charcoal for embers and wood for fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.(U)
22 A gossip’s words are like delicacies
that go down to one’s innermost being.[b](V)
23 Smooth[c] lips with an evil heart
are like glaze on an earthen vessel.(W)
24 A hateful person disguises himself with his speech
and harbours deceit within.
25 When he speaks graciously, don’t believe him,
for there are seven detestable things in his heart.(X)
26 Though his hatred is concealed by deception,
his evil will be revealed in the assembly.
27 The one who digs a pit will fall into it,
and whoever rolls a stone –
it will come back on him.(Y)
28 A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
Proverbs 26
New International Version
Proverbs 26
New International Version
26 Like snow in summer or rain(A) in harvest,
honor is not fitting for a fool.(B)
2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,
an undeserved curse does not come to rest.(C)
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,(D)
and a rod for the backs of fools!(E)
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
or you yourself will be just like him.(F)
5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
or he will be wise in his own eyes.(G)
6 Sending a message by the hands of a fool(H)
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.(I)
8 Like tying a stone in a sling
is the giving of honor to a fool.(J)
9 Like a thornbush in a drunkard’s hand
is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.(K)
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,(L)
so fools repeat their folly.(M)
12 Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?(N)
There is more hope for a fool than for them.(O)
13 A sluggard says,(P) “There’s a lion in the road,
a fierce lion roaming the streets!”(Q)
14 As a door turns on its hinges,
so a sluggard turns on his bed.(R)
15 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.(S)
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.(T)
21 As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.(U)
22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.(V)
23 Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware
are fervent[a] lips with an evil heart.
24 Enemies disguise themselves with their lips,(W)
but in their hearts they harbor deceit.(X)
25 Though their speech is charming,(Y) do not believe them,
for seven abominations fill their hearts.(Z)
26 Their malice may be concealed by deception,
but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 Whoever digs a pit(AA) will fall into it;(AB)
if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.(AC)
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts,
and a flattering mouth(AD) works ruin.
