Proverbes 26
Louis Segond
26 Comme la neige en été, et la pluie pendant la moisson, Ainsi la gloire ne convient pas à un insensé.
2 Comme l'oiseau s'échappe, comme l'hirondelle s'envole, Ainsi la malédiction sans cause n'a point d'effet.
3 Le fouet est pour le cheval, le mors pour l'âne, Et la verge pour le dos des insensés.
4 Ne réponds pas à l'insensé selon sa folie, De peur que tu ne lui ressembles toi-même.
5 Réponds à l'insensé selon sa folie, Afin qu'il ne se regarde pas comme sage.
6 Il se coupe les pieds, il boit l'injustice, Celui qui donne des messages à un insensé.
7 Comme les jambes du boiteux sont faibles, Ainsi est une sentence dans la bouche des insensés.
8 C'est attacher une pierre à la fronde, Que d'accorder des honneurs à un insensé.
9 Comme une épine qui se dresse dans la main d'un homme ivre, Ainsi est une sentence dans la bouche des insensés.
10 Comme un archer qui blesse tout le monde, Ainsi est celui qui prend à gage les insensés et les premiers venus.
11 Comme un chien qui retourne à ce qu'il a vomi, Ainsi est un insensé qui revient à sa folie.
12 Si tu vois un homme qui se croit sage, Il y a plus à espérer d'un insensé que de lui.
13 Le paresseux dit: Il y a un lion sur le chemin, Il y a un lion dans les rues!
14 La porte tourne sur ses gonds, Et le paresseux sur son lit.
15 Le paresseux plonge sa main dans le plat, Et il trouve pénible de la ramener à sa bouche.
16 Le paresseux se croit plus sage Que sept hommes qui répondent avec bon sens.
17 Comme celui qui saisit un chien par les oreilles, Ainsi est un passant qui s'irrite pour une querelle où il n'a que faire.
18 Comme un furieux qui lance des flammes, Des flèches et la mort,
19 Ainsi est un homme qui trompe son prochain, Et qui dit: N'était-ce pas pour plaisanter?
20 Faute de bois, le feu s'éteint; Et quand il n'y a point de rapporteur, la querelle s'apaise.
21 Le charbon produit un brasier, et le bois du feu; Ainsi un homme querelleur échauffe une dispute.
22 Les paroles du rapporteur sont comme des friandises, Elles descendent jusqu'au fond des entrailles.
23 Comme des scories d'argent appliquées sur un vase de terre, Ainsi sont des lèvres brûlantes et un coeur mauvais.
24 Par ses lèvres celui qui hait se déguise, Et il met au dedans de lui la tromperie.
25 Lorsqu'il prend une voix douce, ne le crois pas, Car il y a sept abominations dans son coeur.
26 S'il cache sa haine sous la dissimulation, Sa méchanceté se révélera dans l'assemblée.
27 Celui qui creuse une fosse y tombe, Et la pierre revient sur celui qui la roule.
28 La langue fausse hait ceux qu'elle écrase, Et la bouche flatteuse prépare la ruine.
箴言 26
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
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。
Proverbs 26
King James Version
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.
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.
