箴言 29
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
公平誠實使國堅定
29 人屢次受責備，仍然硬著頸項，
他必突然毀滅，無法挽救。
2 義人增多的時候，人民就喜樂；
惡人掌權的時候，人民就歎息。
3 喜愛智慧的，使父親喜樂；
親近妓女的，耗盡家財。
4 君王以公正使國堅立；
收受賄賂的，使國覆亡。
5 諂媚鄰舍的人，
是在他的腳下張設網羅。
6 惡人因為過犯，陷於網羅；
義人卻歡呼喜樂。
7 義人關注窮人的冤情；
惡人卻不分辨實情。
8 好譏笑人的煽動全城騷亂，
智慧人卻止息眾怒。
9 智慧人與愚妄人爭訟，
愚妄人只會咆哮或嘲笑，總不能安靜。
10 好流人血的恨惡完全人，
並尋索正直人的性命。
11 愚昧人把怒氣盡情發洩，
智慧人卻抑制怒氣。
12 如果掌權者聽信謊言，
他所有的臣僕必都是壞人。
13 世上有窮人，也有欺壓人的，
兩者的眼睛都蒙耶和華光照。
14 如果君王誠實地審判窮人；
他的國位必永遠堅立。
15 杖責和管教能使人有智慧，
放縱的孩子使母親蒙羞。
16 惡人增多的時候，過犯也必增多；
義人必看見他們傾覆。
17 管教你的兒子，他必使你得安息；
也必使你的心得喜樂。
18 沒有啟示，人民就沒有法紀；
遵守律法的，就為有福。
19 只用言語，不能使奴僕受管教；
他雖然明白，卻沒有反應。
20 你見過言語急躁的人嗎？
愚昧人比他更有指望。
21 如果人從小嬌縱僕人，
結果必帶來憂愁。
22 容易發怒的人，引起紛爭；
脾氣暴烈的人，多有過犯。
23 人的驕傲必使他卑微；
心裡謙卑的，必得尊榮。
24 與盜賊分贓的，是恨惡自己的性命；
他雖然聽見要他起誓作證的聲音，
卻不說話。
25 懼怕人的，必陷入網羅；
倚靠耶和華的，必得安全。
26 很多人求掌權者的情面，
但各人的判決是出於耶和華。
27 不義的人是義人所厭惡的；
行為正直的人是惡人所厭惡的。
Proverbs 29
New King James Version
Proverbs 29
New King James Version
Happy Is He Who Keeps the Law
29 He(A) who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck,
Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2 When the righteous [a]are in authority, the (B)people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, (C)the people groan.
3 Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice,
But a companion of harlots wastes his wealth.
4 The king establishes the land by justice,
But he who receives bribes overthrows it.
5 A man who (D)flatters his neighbor
Spreads a net for his feet.
6 By transgression an evil man is snared,
But the righteous sings and rejoices.
7 The righteous (E)considers the cause of the poor,
But the wicked does not understand such knowledge.
8 Scoffers (F)set a city aflame,
But wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contends with a foolish man,
(G)Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace.
12 If a ruler pays attention to lies,
All his servants become wicked.
13 The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
(J)The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
14 The king who judges the (K)poor with truth,
His throne will be established forever.
15 The rod and rebuke give (L)wisdom,
But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;
But the righteous will see their (M)fall.
17 Correct your son, and he will give you rest;
Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
18 (N)Where there is no [d]revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But (O)happy is he who keeps the law.
19 A servant will not be corrected by mere words;
For though he understands, he will not respond.
20 Do you see a man hasty in his words?
(P)There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21 He who pampers his servant from childhood
Will have him as a son in the end.
22 (Q)An angry man stirs up strife,
And a furious man abounds in transgression.
23 (R)A man’s pride will bring him low,
But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
24 Whoever is a partner with a thief hates his own life;
(S)He [e]swears to tell the truth, but reveals nothing.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,
And he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
