箴言 26
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
26 愚人得尊荣本不合宜，
如夏天降雪、收割时下雨。
2 麻雀翻飞，燕子翱翔，
咒诅不会无端降临。
3 鞭子打马，缰绳勒驴，
棍棒责打愚人的背。
4 别照愚人的愚昧回答他，
免得你像他一样。
5 要照愚人的愚昧回答他，
免得他自以为有智慧。
6 靠愚人传信，
如同砍断自己的脚，
自讨苦吃。
7 愚人口中说箴言，
如同跛子空有腿。
8 把尊荣给愚人，
就像把石子绑在甩石器上。
9 愚人口中说箴言，
如同醉汉握荆棘。
10 雇用愚人或路人，
如同弓箭手乱箭伤人。
11 愚人一再重复愚昧事，
就像狗回头吃所吐的。
12 自以为有智慧的人，
还不如愚人有希望。
13 懒惰人说：“路上有狮子，
街上有猛狮。”
14 懒惰人赖在床上滚来滚去，
就像门在门轴上转来转去。
15 懒惰人手放在餐盘，
却懒得送食物进嘴。
16 懒惰人自以为比七个善于应对的人更有智慧。
17 插手他人的纠纷，
犹如揪狗的耳朵。
18-19 欺骗邻舍还说是开玩笑，
如同疯子乱抛火把、乱射箭。
20 没有木柴，火自然熄灭；
没有闲话，争端便平息。
21 好斗之人煽动争端，
如同余火加炭、火上加柴。
22 闲言闲语如可口的美食，
轻易进入人的五脏六腑。
23 火热的嘴，邪恶的心，
犹如瓦器镀了层银。
24 怨恨人的用美言掩饰自己，
心中却藏着诡诈。
25 纵然他甜言蜜语，你也不可信他，
因为他心中充满各种可憎之事。
26 虽然他用诡计掩饰怨恨，
他的邪恶必被会众揭穿。
27 挖陷阱的，必自陷其中；
滚石头的，必自伤己身。
28 撒谎的舌恨它所害的人，
谄媚的嘴带来毁灭。
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.
