箴 言 26
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
26 夏 天 落 雪 ， 收 割 時 下 雨 ， 都 不 相 宜 ； 愚 昧 人 得 尊 榮 也 是 如 此 。
2 麻 雀 往 來 ， 燕 子 翻 飛 ； 這 樣 ， 無 故 的 咒 詛 也 必 不 臨 到 。
3 鞭 子 是 為 打 馬 ， 轡 頭 是 為 勒 驢 ； 刑 杖 是 為 打 愚 昧 人 的 背 。
4 不 要 照 愚 昧 人 的 愚 妄 話 回 答 他 ， 恐 怕 你 與 他 一 樣 。
5 要 照 愚 昧 人 的 愚 妄 話 回 答 他 ， 免 得 他 自 以 為 有 智 慧 。
6 藉 愚 昧 人 手 寄 信 的 ， 是 砍 斷 自 己 的 腳 ， 自 受 （ 原 文 是 ： 喝 ） 損 害 。
7 瘸 子 的 腳 空 存 無 用 ； 箴 言 在 愚 昧 人 的 口 中 也 是 如 此 。
8 將 尊 榮 給 愚 昧 人 的 ， 好 像 人 把 石 子 包 在 機 弦 裡 。
9 箴 言 在 愚 昧 人 的 口 中 ， 好 像 荊 棘 刺 入 醉 漢 的 手 。
10 雇 愚 昧 人 的 ， 與 雇 過 路 人 的 ， 就 像 射 傷 眾 人 的 弓 箭 手 。
11 愚 昧 人 行 愚 妄 事 ， 行 了 又 行 ， 就 如 狗 轉 過 來 吃 他 所 吐 的 。
12 你 見 自 以 為 有 智 慧 的 人 麼 ？ 愚 昧 人 比 他 更 有 指 望 。
13 懶 惰 人 說 ： 道 上 有 猛 獅 ， 街 上 有 壯 獅 。
14 門 在 樞 紐 轉 動 ， 懶 惰 人 在 床 上 也 是 如 此 。
15 懶 惰 人 放 手 在 盤 子 裡 ， 就 是 向 口 撤 回 也 以 為 勞 乏 。
16 懶 惰 人 看 自 己 比 七 個 善 於 應 對 的 人 更 有 智 慧 。
17 過 路 被 事 激 動 ， 管 理 不 干 己 的 爭 競 ， 好 像 人 揪 住 狗 耳 。
18 人 欺 凌 鄰 舍 ， 卻 說 ： 我 豈 不 是 戲 耍 麼 ？ 他 就 像 瘋 狂 的 人 拋 擲 火 把 、 利 箭 ， 與 殺 人 的 兵 器 （ 原 文 是 死 亡 ） 。
19 a
20 火 缺 了 柴 就 必 熄 滅 ； 無 人 傳 舌 ， 爭 競 便 止 息 。
21 好 爭 競 的 人 煽 惑 爭 端 ， 就 如 餘 火 加 炭 ， 火 上 加 柴 一 樣 。
22 傳 舌 人 的 言 語 ， 如 同 美 食 ， 深 入 人 的 心 腹 。
23 火 熱 的 嘴 ， 奸 惡 的 心 ， 好 像 銀 渣 包 的 瓦 器 。
24 怨 恨 人 的 ， 用 嘴 粉 飾 ， 心 裡 卻 藏 著 詭 詐 ；
25 他 用 甜 言 蜜 語 ， 你 不 可 信 他 ， 因 為 他 心 中 有 七 樣 可 憎 惡 的 。
26 他 雖 用 詭 詐 遮 掩 自 己 的 怨 恨 ， 他 的 邪 惡 必 在 會 中 顯 露 。
27 挖 陷 坑 的 ， 自 己 必 掉 在 其 中 ； 滾 石 頭 的 ， 石 頭 必 反 滾 在 他 身 上 。
28 虛 謊 的 舌 恨 他 所 壓 傷 的 人 ； 諂 媚 的 口 敗 壞 人 的 事 。
Proverbs 26
Christian Standard Bible
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,(E)
and a rod for the backs of fools.(F)
4 Don’t answer a fool according to his foolishness(G)
or you’ll be like him yourself.
5 Answer a fool according to his foolishness(H)
or he’ll become wise in his own eyes.(I)
6 The one who sends a message by a fool’s hand(J)
cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.(K)
7 A proverb in the mouth of a fool
is like lame legs that hang limp.
8 Giving honor to a fool
is like binding a stone in a sling.
9 A proverb in the mouth of a fool
is like a stick with thorns,
brandished by[a] the hand of a drunkard.
10 The one who hires a fool or who hires those passing by
is like an archer who wounds everyone indiscriminately.
11 As a dog returns to its vomit,
so also a fool repeats his foolishness.(L)
12 Do you see a person who is wise in his own eyes?(M)
There is more hope for a fool than for him.(N)
13 The slacker says, “There’s a lion in the road—
a lion in the public square!” (O)
14 A door turns on its hinges,
and a slacker, on his bed.(P)
15 The slacker buries his hand in the bowl;
he is too weary to bring it to his mouth!(Q)
16 In his own eyes, a slacker is wiser(R)
than seven who can answer sensibly.
17 A person who is passing by and meddles in a quarrel that’s not his
is like one who grabs a dog by the ears.
18 Like a madman who throws flaming darts and deadly arrows,(S)
19 so is the person who deceives his neighbor
and says, “I was only joking!”
20 Without wood, fire goes out;
without a gossip, conflict dies down.(T)
21 As charcoal for embers and wood for fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.(U)
22 A gossip’s words are like choice food
that goes down to one’s innermost being.[b](V)
23 Smooth[c] lips with an evil heart
are like glaze on an earthen vessel.(W)
24 A hateful person disguises himself with his speech
and harbors deceit within.
25 When he speaks graciously, don’t believe him,
for there are seven detestable things in his heart.(X)
26 Though his hatred is concealed by deception,
his evil will be revealed in the assembly.
27 The one who digs a pit will fall into it,
and whoever rolls a stone—
it will come back on him.(Y)
28 A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
Proverbs 26
New King James Version
Honor Is Not Fitting for a Fool
26 As snow in summer (A)and rain in harvest,
So honor is not fitting for a fool.
2 Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow,
So (B)a curse without cause shall not alight.
3 (C)A whip for the horse,
A bridle for the donkey,
And a rod for the fool’s back.
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
Lest you also be like him.
5 (D)Answer a fool according to his folly,
Lest he be wise in his own eyes.
6 He who sends a message by the hand of a fool
Cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.
7 Like the legs of the lame that hang limp
Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8 Like one who binds a stone in a sling
Is he who gives honor to a fool.
9 Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard
Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 [a]The great God who formed everything
Gives the fool his hire and the transgressor his wages.
11 (E)As a dog returns to his own vomit,
(F)So a fool repeats his folly.
12 (G)Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13 The lazy man says, “There is a lion in the road!
A fierce lion is in the [b]streets!”
14 As a door turns on its hinges,
So does the lazy man on his bed.
15 The (H)lazy man buries his hand in the [c]bowl;
It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
16 The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who can answer sensibly.
17 He who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own
Is like one who takes a dog by the ears.
18 Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 Is the man who deceives his neighbor,
And says, (I)“I was only joking!”
20 Where there is no wood, the fire goes out;
And where there is no [d]talebearer, strife ceases.
21 (J)As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire,
So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a [e]talebearer are like [f]tasty trifles,
And they go down into the [g]inmost body.
23 Fervent lips with a wicked heart
Are like earthenware covered with silver dross.
24 He who hates, disguises it with his lips,
And lays up deceit within himself;
25 (K)When [h]he speaks kindly, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart;
26 Though his hatred is covered by deceit,
His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
27 (L)Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.
28 A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it,
And a flattering mouth works (M)ruin.

Mga Kawikaan 26
Ang Biblia (1978)
Iba't ibang halimbawa at aral sa kalinisan.
26 Kung paano ang niebe sa taginit, (A)at kung paano ang ulan sa pagaani,
Gayon ang karangalan ay hindi nababagay sa mangmang.
2 Kung paano ang maya sa kaniyang paggagala, kung paano ang langaylangayan sa kaniyang paglipad,
Gayon (B)ang sumpa na walang kadahilanan ay hindi tumatalab.
3 (C)Ang paghagupit ay sa kabayo, ang paningkaw ay sa asno,
At (D)ang pamalo ay sa likod ng mga mangmang.
4 (E)Huwag mong sagutin ang mangmang ng ayon sa kaniyang kamangmangan,
Baka ikaw man ay maging gaya rin niya.
5 (F)Sagutin mo ang mangmang ayon sa kaniyang kamangmangan,
Baka siya'y maging pantas sa ganang kaniya.
6 Siyang nagsusugo ng pasugo sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng mangmang
Naghihiwalay ng kaniyang mga paa, at umiinom sa kasiraan.
7 Ang mga hita ng pilay ay nabibitin:
Gayon ang talinghaga sa bibig ng mga mangmang.
8 Kung paano ang isa'y nagbabalot ng isang bato sa isang lambanog,
Gayon ang nagbibigay ng karangalan sa mangmang.
9 Kung paano ang tinik na tumutusok sa kamay ng lango,
Gayon ang talinghaga sa bibig ng mga mangmang.
10 Kung paano ang mamamana sumusugat sa lahat,
Gayon ang umupa sa mangmang at umuupa sa pagayongayon.
11 Kung paano ang (G)aso na bumabalik sa kaniyang suka,
Gayon ang mangmang na umuulit ng kaniyang kamangmangan.
12 (H)Nakikita mo ba ang taong pantas sa ganang kaniyang sarili.
May higit na pagasa sa mangmang kay sa kaniya.
13 (I)Sinabi ng tamad, May leon sa daan;
Isang leon ay nasa mga lansangan.
14 Kung paano ang pintuan ay pumipihit sa kaniyang bisagra,
Gayon ang tamad sa kaniyang higaan.
15 (J)Idinadampot ng tamad ang kaniyang kamay sa pinggan;
Napapagod siyang dalhin uli sa kaniyang bibig.
16 Ang tamad ay lalong pantas sa ganang kaniyang sarili
Kay sa pitong tao na makapagbibigay katuwiran.
17 Ang nagdaraan, at nakikialam sa pagaaway na hindi ukol sa kaniya,
Ay gaya ng humahawak ng aso sa mga tainga.
18 Kung paano ang taong ulol na naghahagis ng mga dupong na apoy,
Mga pana, at kamatayan;
19 Gayon ang tao na nagdadaya sa kaniyang kapuwa,
At nagsasabi, (K)Hindi ko ba ginagawa sa paglilibang?
20 Sapagka't sa kakulangan ng gatong ay namamatay ang apoy:
(L)At kung saan walang mapaghatid-dumapit ay tumitigil ang pagkakaalit.
21 Kung paano ang mga uling sa mga baga, at ang kahoy sa apoy;
Gayon (M)ang taong madaldal na nagpapaningas ng pagkakaalit.
22 (N)Ang mga salita ng mapaghatid-dumapit ay parang mga masarap na subo,
At nagsisibaba sa mga pinakaloob na bahagi ng tiyan.
23 Mga mapusok na labi at masamang puso
Ay parang sisidlang-lupa na nababalot ng dumi ng pilak.
24 Ang nagtatanim ay nagpapakunwari ng kaniyang mga labi,
Nguni't siya'y naglalagay ng pagdaraya sa loob niya:
25 (O)Pagka siya'y nagsasalitang mainam, huwag mo siyang paniwalaan;
Sapagka't may pitong karumaldumal sa kaniyang puso:
26 Bagaman ang kaniyang pagtatanim ay magtakip ng karayaan,
At ang kaniyang kasamaan ay lubos na makikilala sa harap ng kapisanan.
27 (P)Ang humuhukay ng lungaw ay mabubuwal doon:
At siyang nagpapagulong ng bato, ay babalikan nito siya.
28 Ang sinungaling na dila ay nagtatanim sa mga sinaktan niya;
At ang bibig ng kunwang mapagpuri ay gumagawa ng kapahamakan.
