Proverbs 13
King James Version
13 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.
16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.
17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.
22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
箴言 知恵の泉 13
Japanese Living Bible
13 知恵のある若者は父親の忠告を聞き、
親をさげすむ子はそれを鼻であしらいます。
2 正しい人は注意深く語って訴訟に勝ちますが、
邪悪な者は争いを欲するだけです。
3 自分を制するとは、ことばに気をつけることです。
とっさに言い返すと、
何もかもぶち壊しになることがあります。
4 怠け者は、いくら欲しがっても、
何も得ることができません。
しかしこつこつ働く人は、裕福になります。
5 正しい人はうそを憎み、
悪者はうそばかりついて恥をかきます。
6 何よりもまず正しく生きることです。
悪いことをすれば必ず身を滅ぼします。
7 自分で金持ちだと思っていても貧しい人がおり、
貧乏だと思っていても富んでいる人がいます。
8 富がなければ、身の代金目当てに
子どもを誘拐される心配もありません。
9 正しい人は明るく生き生きした毎日を送り、
悪者は陰気な日陰の道を歩きます。
10 自分に自信がありすぎる人は、
なかなか主張を曲げません。
素直に忠告を聞く人は賢くなります。
11 賭け事で得た財は羽が生えて飛んでいき、
こつこつためた財は確実に増えていきます。
12 長い間期待が延ばされると心を病みますが、
待ち望んだ夢が実現すると、
生きているのが楽しくなります。
13 みことばをおろそかにすると苦しい目に会い、
みことばに従えば成功します。
14 知恵のある人の助言を聞くのは、
泉の水を飲むようなものです。
たちまち元気が出て、
前方の落とし穴がよく見えるようになります。
15 物事のよくわかる人は高く評価され、
裏切り者は苦い思いをします。
16 見識のある人は先を見て動き、
愚か者はそれとは違い、愚かさを自慢します。
17 あてにならない人に伝言を頼むとめんどうが起き、
信頼できる人に頼めば
目的は果たされます。
18 正しい批判に耳を貸さないと
貧乏になり、恥をかきます。
聞くべき批判を聞けば、
名をなす人になります。
19 計画どおりにいくのは快いものです。
しかし愚か者は、間違った計画でも
あきらめがつきません。
20 知恵ある人のそばにいれば知恵ある人になり、
悪人のそばにいれば悪に染まります。
21 悪いことをすれば人にのろわれ、
正しいことをすれば祝福されます。
22 正しい人は孫にまで遺産を残しますが、
罪人の財産は、
最後には神を恐れる人のものになります。
23 貧しい人の畑でも土は肥えています。
しかし不正があれば、
その収穫は奪われます。
24 子どもを懲らしめない親は、
その子を心から愛していないのと同じです。
愛している子なら罰するはずです。
25 正しい人は生きるために食べ、
悪人は食べるために生きます。
