箴言 12
1 喜爱管教的，就是喜爱知识； 恨恶责备的，却是畜类。
Whoever loves correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.
2 善人必蒙耶和华的恩惠； 设诡计的人，耶和华必定他的罪。
A good man shall obtain favor from the LORD, but he will condemn a man of wicked devices.
3 人靠恶行不能坚立； 义人的根必不动摇。
A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 才德的妇人是丈夫的冠冕； 贻羞的妇人如同朽烂在她丈夫的骨中。
A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, but a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones.
5 义人的思念是公平； 恶人的计谋是诡诈。
The thoughts of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
6 恶人的言论是埋伏流人的血； 正直人的口必拯救人。
The words of the wicked are about lying in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.
7 恶人倾覆，归于无有； 义人的家必站得住。
The wicked are overthrown, and are no more, but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 人必按自己的智慧被称赞； 心中乖谬的，必被藐视。
A person is commended according to his good sense, but the one who has a perverse mind is despised.
9 被人轻贱，却有仆人， 强如自尊，缺少食物。
Better is he who is lightly esteemed, and has a servant, than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.
10 义人顾惜他牲畜的命； 恶人的怜悯也是残忍。
A righteous man regards the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 耕种自己田地的，必得饱食； 追随虚浮的，却是无知。
He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.
12 恶人想得坏人的网罗； 义人的根得以结实。
The wicked desires the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.
13 恶人嘴中的过错是自己的网罗； 但义人必脱离患难。
An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.
14 人因口所结的果子，必饱得美福； 人手所做的，必为自己的报应。
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. The work of a man's hands shall be rewarded to him.
15 愚妄人所行的，在自己眼中看为正直； 惟智慧人肯听人的劝教。
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.
16 愚妄人的恼怒立时显露； 通达人能忍辱藏羞。
A fool shows his annoyance the same day, but one who overlooks an insult is prudent.
17 说出真话的，显明公义； 作假见证的，显出诡诈。
He who is truthful testifies honestly, but a false witness lies.
18 说话浮躁的，如刀刺人； 智慧人的舌头却为医人的良药。
There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.
19 口吐真言，永远坚立； 舌说谎话，只存片时。
Truth's lips will be established forever, but a lying tongue is only momentary.
20 图谋恶事的，心存诡诈； 劝人和睦的，便得喜乐。
Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, but joy comes to the promoters of peace.
21 义人不遭灾害；恶人满受祸患。
No mischief shall happen to the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil.
22 说谎言的嘴为耶和华所憎恶； 行事诚实的，为他所喜悦。
Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who do the truth are his delight.
23 通达人隐藏知识； 愚昧人的心彰显愚昧。
A prudent man keeps his knowledge, but the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.
24 殷勤人的手必掌权； 懒惰的人必服苦。
The hands of the diligent ones shall rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.
25 人心忧虑，屈而不伸； 一句良言，使心欢乐。
Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, but a kind word makes it glad.
26 义人引导他的邻舍； 恶人的道叫人失迷。
A righteous person is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
27 懒惰的人不烤打猎所得的； 殷勤的人却得宝贵的财物。
The slothful man doesn't roast his game, but the possessions of diligent men are prized.
28 在公义的道上有生命； 其路之中并无死亡。
In the way of righteousness is life; in its path there is no death.
