箴言 29
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
29 屡教不改、顽固不化者，
必突然灭亡，无可挽救。
2 义人增多，万众欢腾；
恶人得势，万民叹息。
3 爱慕智慧的使父亲欢欣，
结交妓女的必耗尽钱财。
4 君王秉公行义，国家安定；
他若收受贿赂，国必倾倒。
5 奉承邻舍，等于设网罗绊他。
6 恶人被自己的罪缠住，
义人却常常欢喜歌唱。
7 义人关心穷人的冤屈，
恶人对此漠不关心。
8 狂徒煽动全城，
智者平息众怒。
9 智者跟愚人对簿公堂，
愚人会怒骂嬉笑不止。
10 嗜杀之徒憎恶纯全无过的人，
但正直的人保护他们[a]。
11 愚人尽发其怒，
智者忍气含怒。
12 君王若听谗言，
臣仆必成奸徒。
13 贫穷人和欺压者有共同点：
他们的眼睛都是耶和华所赐。
14 君王若秉公审判穷人，
他的王位必永远坚立。
15 管教之杖使孩子得智慧，
放纵的子女让母亲蒙羞。
16 恶人当道，罪恶泛滥；
义人必得见他们败亡。
17 好好管教儿子，
他会带给你平安和喜乐。
18 百姓无神谕便任意妄为，
但遵守律法的人必蒙福。
19 管教仆人不能单靠言语，
因为他虽明白却不服从。
20 言语急躁的人，
还不如愚人有希望。
21 主人若从小就娇惯仆人，
他终必成为主人的麻烦。
22 愤怒的人挑起纷争，
暴躁的人多有过犯。
23 骄傲的人必遭贬抑，
谦卑的人必得尊荣。
24 与盗贼为伍是憎恶自己，
他即使发誓也不敢作证。
25 惧怕人的必自陷网罗，
信靠耶和华的必安稳。
26 许多人讨君王的欢心，
但正义伸张靠耶和华。
27 为非作歹，义人厌恶；
行为正直，恶人憎恨。

Warnings and Instructions
29 A person [a]often (A)rebuked who [b]becomes obstinate
Will (B)suddenly be broken [c]beyond remedy.
2 When the (C)righteous [d]increase, the people rejoice,
But when a wicked person rules, people groan.
3 A man who (D)loves wisdom makes his father glad,
But he who (E)involves himself with prostitutes wastes his wealth.
4 The (F)king gives stability to the land by justice,
But a person who takes bribes ruins it.
5 A man who (G)flatters his neighbor
Is spreading a net for his steps.
6 By wrongdoing an evil person is (H)ensnared,
But the righteous (I)sings and rejoices.
7 The (J)righteous [e]is concerned for the rights of the poor;
The wicked does not understand such [f]concern.
8 Arrogant people (K)inflame a city,
But (L)wise people turn away anger.
9 When a wise person has a controversy with a foolish person,
[g]The foolish person either rages or laughs, and there is no rest.
10 People of (M)bloodshed hate the blameless person,
But the upright [h]are concerned for his life.
11 A (N)fool [i]always loses his temper,
But a (O)wise person holds it back.
12 If a (P)ruler pays attention to falsehood,
All his ministers become wicked.
13 The (Q)poor person and the oppressor [j]have this in common:
The Lord gives (R)light to the eyes of both.
14 If a (S)king judges the poor with truth,
His (T)throne will be established forever.
15 The (U)rod and a rebuke give wisdom,
But a child [k]who gets his own way (V)brings shame to his mother.
16 When the wicked [l]increase, wrongdoing increases;
But the (W)righteous will see their downfall.
17 (X)Correct your son, and he will give you comfort;
He will also [m](Y)delight your soul.
18 Where there is (Z)no [n]vision, the people (AA)are unrestrained,
But (AB)happy is one who keeps the Law.
19 A slave will not be instructed by words alone;
For though he understands, there will be no response.
20 Do you see a person who is (AC)hasty with his words?
There is (AD)more hope for a fool than for him.
21 One who pampers his slave from childhood
Will in the end find him to be rebellious.
22 An (AE)angry person stirs up strife,
And a hot-tempered person abounds in wrongdoing.
23 A person’s (AF)pride will bring him low,
But a (AG)humble spirit will obtain honor.
24 One who is a partner with a thief hates his own life;
He (AH)hears the oath but tells nothing.
25 The (AI)fear of man [o]brings a snare,
But one who (AJ)trusts in the Lord will be protected.
26 (AK)Many seek the ruler’s [p]favor,
But (AL)justice for mankind comes from the Lord.
27 An (AM)unjust person is an abomination to the righteous,
And one who is (AN)upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
