Proverbs 22
King James Version
Proverbs 22
King James Version
22 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
2 The rich and poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all.
3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
4 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
12 The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein.
15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
19 That thy trust may be in the Lord, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
23 For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
25 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
26 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
27 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
Pwovèb 22

Pwovèb 22
Haitian Creole Version
22 ¶ Pito yo nonmen non ou an byen pase pou ou gen anpil richès. Pito moun gen anpil konsiderasyon pou ou pase pou ou gen anpil lajan ak anpil lò.
2 ¶ Pa gen diferans ant moun rich ak moun pòv, paske tou de se kreyati Bondye yo ye.
3 ¶ Moun ki gen konprann, lè li wè malè ap vin sou li, li wete kò l'. Men, moun sòt pote lestonmak li bay, epi se li ki peye sa.
4 ¶ Soumèt ou devan Bondye, gen krentif pou li: W'a gen richès, y'a nonmen non ou, w'a viv lontan.
5 ¶ Moun ki mache kwochi jwenn pikan ak pèlen sou wout yo. Si ou renmen lavi, pa fè menm wout ak yo.
6 ¶ Bay yon timoun prensip li dwe swiv. Jouk li mouri, li p'ap janm bliye l'.
7 ¶ Moun rich ap donminen sou moun pòv. Lè ou prete lajan nan men yon moun, ou tounen timoun devan pòt li.
8 ¶ Lè ou simen lenjistis, ou rekòlte malè. Ou rete konsa sak te fè ou gen gwo kòlèt la disparèt.
9 ¶ Bondye beni moun ki gen bon kè, paske lè moun ki gen bon kè wè yon pòv, yo separe sa yo genyen an avè l'.
10 ¶ Mete moun k'ap pase lòt moun nan betiz la deyò, lamenm tout kont, tout joure ap sispann.
11 ¶ Moun ki pa gen move lide dèyè tèt yo epi ki gen bon pawòl nan bouch yo ap gen wa a pou zanmi yo. Men, Bondye renmen moun ki sensè.
12 ¶ Seyè a pwoteje moun k'ap di verite. Men, li fè moun k'ap bay manti yo wont.
13 ¶ Parese rete chita lakay li, li di si li soti bèt nan bwa va manje l' nan lari a.
14 ¶ Pawòl fanm adiltè se gwo pèlen. Lè Seyè a move sou yon moun, moun lan ap pran nan pèlen sa a.
15 ¶ Timoun toujou ap fè move bagay. Men, fwèt ap fè yo pa rekonmanse ankò.
16 ¶ Lè w'ap peze yon pòv malere se lespri l' w'ap louvri. Lè w'ap fè moun rich kado, se pòv w'ap fè l' pòv.
17 ¶ Louvri zòrèy ou, koute pawòl moun ki gen bon konprann yo. Chache konprann sa m'ap moutre ou la a.
18 L'a bon pou ou toujou kenbe yo nan kè ou, pou yo ka toujou anba lang ou.
19 Koulye a, mwen pral moutre ou tout pawòl sa yo, ou menm tou, pou ou ka mete konfyans ou nan Seyè a.
20 Depi lontan, mwen te ekri bon pawòl sa yo pou ou. W'a jwenn anpil bon konsèy ak konesans ladan yo.
21 Y'a fè ou konnen verite a jan li ye a. Konsa, w'a pote bon repons bay moun ki te voye ou la. Men yo:
22 ¶ Pa pran ti sa pòv la genyen an paske se pòv li ye. Pa pwofite sou ti malere yo nan tribinal.
23 Se Seyè a ki va plede kòz yo pou yo. L'a touye moun ki vòlò malere sa yo.
24 ¶ Pa fè zanmi ak moun ki ankòlè fasil. Pa mache ak moun ki gen san wo.
25 W'a pran move mès yo. W'a rale malè sou ou.
26 ¶ Pa pwomèt pou ou reskonsab dèt yon lòt moun fè.
27 Si ou pa ka peye, y'a sezi ata kabann anba do ou.
28 ¶ Pa janm deplase bòn tè kote granmoun lontan te mete yo.
29 ¶ Moutre m' yon nonm ki gen ladrès nan sa l'ap fè. Se moun konsa k'ap rive travay ak chèf. Li pa pral travay ak moun ki pa anyen.

箴 言 22
Chinese Union Version (Simplified)
22 美 名 胜 过 大 财 ； 恩 宠 强 如 金 银 。
2 富 户 穷 人 在 世 相 遇 ， 都 为 耶 和 华 所 造 。
3 通 达 人 见 祸 藏 躲 ； 愚 蒙 人 前 往 受 害 。
4 敬 畏 耶 和 华 心 存 谦 卑 ， 就 得 富 有 、 尊 荣 、 生 命 为 赏 赐 。
5 乖 僻 人 的 路 上 有 荆 棘 和 网 罗 ； 保 守 自 己 生 命 的 ， 必 要 远 离 。
6 教 养 孩 童 ， 使 他 走 当 行 的 道 ， 就 是 到 老 他 也 不 偏 离 。
7 富 户 管 辖 穷 人 ； 欠 债 的 是 债 主 的 仆 人 。
8 撒 罪 孽 的 ， 必 收 灾 祸 ； 他 逞 怒 的 杖 也 必 废 掉 。
9 眼 目 慈 善 的 ， 就 必 蒙 福 ， 因 他 将 食 物 分 给 穷 人 。
10 赶 出 亵 慢 人 ， 争 端 就 消 除 ； 纷 争 和 羞 辱 也 必 止 息 。
11 喜 爱 清 心 的 人 因 他 嘴 上 的 恩 言 ， 王 必 与 他 为 友 。
12 耶 和 华 的 眼 目 眷 顾 聪 明 人 ， 却 倾 败 奸 诈 人 的 言 语 。
13 懒 惰 人 说 ： 外 头 有 狮 子 ； 我 在 街 上 就 必 被 杀 。
14 淫 妇 的 口 为 深 坑 ； 耶 和 华 所 憎 恶 的 ， 必 陷 在 其 中 。
15 愚 蒙 迷 住 孩 童 的 心 ， 用 管 教 的 杖 可 以 远 远 赶 除 。
16 欺 压 贫 穷 为 要 利 己 的 ， 并 送 礼 与 富 户 的 ， 都 必 缺 乏 。
17 你 须 侧 耳 听 受 智 慧 人 的 言 语 ， 留 心 领 会 我 的 知 识 。
18 你 若 心 中 存 记 ， 嘴 上 咬 定 ， 这 便 为 美 。
19 我 今 日 以 此 特 特 指 教 你 ， 为 要 使 你 倚 靠 耶 和 华 。
20 谋 略 和 知 识 的 美 事 ， 我 岂 没 有 写 给 你 麽 ？
21 要 使 你 知 道 真 言 的 实 理 ， 你 好 将 真 言 回 覆 那 打 发 你 来 的 人 。
22 贫 穷 人 ， 你 不 可 因 他 贫 穷 就 抢 夺 他 的 物 ， 也 不 可 在 城 门 口 欺 压 困 苦 人 ；
23 因 耶 和 华 必 为 他 辨 屈 ； 抢 夺 他 的 ， 耶 和 华 必 夺 取 那 人 的 命 。
24 好 生 气 的 人 ， 不 可 与 他 结 交 ； 暴 怒 的 人 ， 不 可 与 他 来 往 ；
25 恐 怕 你 效 法 他 的 行 为 ， 自 己 就 陷 在 网 罗 里 。
26 不 要 与 人 击 掌 ， 不 要 为 欠 债 的 作 保 。
27 你 若 没 有 甚 麽 偿 还 ， 何 必 使 人 夺 去 你 睡 卧 的 床 呢 ？
28 你 先 祖 所 立 的 地 界 ， 你 不 可 挪 移 。
29 你 看 见 办 事 殷 勤 的 人 麽 ？ 他 必 站 在 君 王 面 前 ， 必 不 站 在 下 贱 人 面 前 。
Proverbs 22
New International Version
Proverbs 22
New International Version
22 A good name is more desirable than great riches;
to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.(A)
2 Rich and poor have this in common:
The Lord is the Maker of them all.(B)
5 In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls,(G)
but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.
6 Start(H) children off on the way they should go,(I)
and even when they are old they will not turn from it.(J)
7 The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is slave to the lender.
10 Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife;
quarrels and insults are ended.(O)
11 One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace
will have the king for a friend.(P)
12 The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge,
but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
13 The sluggard says, “There’s a lion outside!(Q)
I’ll be killed in the public square!”
14 The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit;(R)
a man who is under the Lord’s wrath falls into it.(S)
15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.(T)
16 One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth
and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.
Thirty Sayings of the Wise
Saying 1
17 Pay attention(U) and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise;(V)
apply your heart to what I teach,(W)
18 for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart
and have all of them ready on your lips.
19 So that your trust may be in the Lord,
I teach you today, even you.
20 Have I not written thirty sayings for you,
sayings of counsel and knowledge,
21 teaching you to be honest and to speak the truth,(X)
so that you bring back truthful reports
to those you serve?
Saying 2
22 Do not exploit the poor(Y) because they are poor
and do not crush the needy in court,(Z)
23 for the Lord will take up their case(AA)
and will exact life for life.(AB)
Saying 3
24 Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person,
do not associate with one easily angered,
25 or you may learn their ways
and get yourself ensnared.(AC)
Saying 4
26 Do not be one who shakes hands in pledge(AD)
or puts up security for debts;
27 if you lack the means to pay,
your very bed will be snatched from under you.(AE)
Saying 5
28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone(AF)
set up by your ancestors.
