箴言 30
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
当认识投靠至圣者
30 雅基的儿子亚古珥的话,是 神的默示。
这人对以铁,对以铁和乌甲宣讲:
2 “我比众人更愚顽,
也没有聪明。
3 我没有学习智慧,
也不晓得有关至圣者的知识。
4 谁升上天,又降下来呢?
谁收聚风在掌中呢?
谁包水在衣服里呢?
谁立定地的四极呢?
他的名字叫甚么?他儿子的名字叫甚么?
你知道吗?
5 神所说的话句句都是炼净的,
投靠他的,他就作他们的盾牌。
6 他的话语,你不可增添;
恐怕他责备你,你就表明是说谎的。
7 我有两件事求你,
在我死去以前,求你答应我。
8 求你使虚假和谎言远离我;
不要使我贫穷,也不要使我富裕,
只要给我需用的食物。
9 免得我吃饱了,就不认你,说:
‘耶和华是谁?’
又恐怕我贫穷,就偷窃,
污渎了我 神的名。
观察世事领悟教训
10 “不要向主人诽谤他的仆人,
恐怕他咒诅你,你就判为有罪。
11 有一种人(“有一种人”直译是“有一世代”)咒诅父亲,
又不给母亲祝福。
12 有一种人自以为清洁,
却没有洗去自己的污秽。
13 有一种人眼目多么高傲,
他们的眼睛,长在顶上。
14 有一种人牙如剑,
齿如刀,
要吞灭地上的困苦人
和世人中的贫穷人。
15 水蛭有两个女儿,常说:‘给我!给我!’
不知足的东西有三样,
连总不说‘够了’的共有四样,
16 就是阴间、不能生育的妇人、
水源不足之地
和总不说‘够了’的火。
17 嘲笑父亲,
藐视年老母亲的,
他的眼必被谷中的乌鸦啄出来,
给雏鹰所吃。
18 我测不透的奇事有三样,
连我不知道的,共有四样:
19 就是鹰在空中飞翔之道,
蛇在盘石上爬行之道,
船在海中航行之道,
男与女交合之道。
20 淫妇的行径是这样的:
她吃了,把嘴一抹,
就说:‘我没有作错事。’
21 使地震动的事有三样,
连地也担当不起的,共有四样:
22 就是奴仆作王,
愚顽人吃得饱,
23 被人厌恶的女子出嫁,
婢女接替主母的地位。
24 地上有四样小东西,
非常聪明:
25 蚂蚁是微小的昆虫,
却能在夏天预备粮食。
26 石貛并不是强壮的动物,
却能在岩石中做窟。
27 蝗虫没有君王,
却能成群列队出发。
28 壁虎虽可以用手捕捉,
却住在王宫中。
29 步伐威武的东西有三样,
连行走威武的,共有四样:
30 就是在百兽中最威猛的狮子,
牠面对任何野兽,也不会退缩;
31 还有高视阔步的(“高视阔步的”原文作“束着腰的”,意义隐晦;现参古译本改译。)雄鸡和公山羊,
以及率领军兵的君王。
32 如果你行事愚昧,自高自大,
或是心怀恶计,就要用手掩口。
33 搅动牛乳必生出乳酪,
紧压鼻子必压出血来,
激起怒气必产生纷争。”
Proverbs 30
Darby Translation
30 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the prophecy uttered by the man unto Ithiel, [even] unto Ithiel and Ucal:
2 Truly *I* am more stupid than any one; and I have not a man's intelligence.
3 I have neither learned wisdom, nor have I the knowledge of the Holy.
4 Who hath ascended up into the heavens, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a mantle? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest?
5 Every word of +God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7 Two things do I ask of thee; deny me [them] not before I die:
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread of my daily need:
9 lest I be full and deny [thee], and say, Who is Jehovah? or lest I be poor and steal, and outrage the name of my God.
10 Speak not too much about a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty.
11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother;
12 there is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness;
13 there is a generation,—how lofty are their eyes, how their eyelids are lifted up!
14 —a generation whose teeth are swords, and their jaw-teeth knives, to devour the afflicted from off the earth, and the needy from [among] men.
15 The leech hath two daughters: Give, give. There are three [things] never satisfied; four which say not, It is enough:
16 —Sheol, and the barren womb; the earth which is not filled with water, and the fire which saith not, It is enough.
17 The eye that mocketh at a father, and despiseth to obey a mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
18 There are three [things] too wonderful for me, and four that I know not:
19 The way of an eagle in the heavens, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man with a maid.
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman: she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
21 Under three [things] the earth is disquieted, and under four it cannot bear up:
22 Under a servant when he reigneth, and a churl when he is filled with meat;
23 under an odious [woman] when she is married, and a handmaid when she is heir to her mistress.
24 There are four [things] little upon the earth, and they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants, a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;
26 the rock-badgers are but a feeble folk, yet they make their house in the cliff;
27 the locusts have no king, yet they go forth all of them by bands;
28 thou takest hold of the lizard with the hands, yet is she in kings' palaces.
29 There are three [things] which have a stately step, and four are comely in going:
30 The lion, mighty among beasts, which turneth not away for any;
31 a [horse] girt in the loins; or the he-goat; and a king, against whom none can rise up.
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, [lay] the hand upon thy mouth.
33 For the pressing of milk bringeth forth butter, and the pressing of the nose bringeth forth blood; and the pressing of anger bringeth forth strife.
