< 箴言 13 >

1 智慧子听父亲的教训; 亵慢人不听责备。
A wise son [heareth] his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
2 人因口所结的果子,必享美福; 奸诈人必遭强暴。
A man shall eat good by the fruit of [his] mouth: but the soul of the transgressors [shall eat] violence.
3 谨守口的,得保生命; 大张嘴的,必致败亡。
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: [but] he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
4 懒惰人羡慕,却无所得; 殷勤人必得丰裕。
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and [hath] nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
5 义人恨恶谎言; 恶人有臭名,且致惭愧。
A righteous [man] hateth lying: but a wicked [man] is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
6 行为正直的,有公义保守; 犯罪的,被邪恶倾覆。
Righteousness keepeth [him that is] upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7 假作富足的,却一无所有; 装作穷乏的,却广有财物。
There is that maketh himself rich, yet [hath] nothing: [there is] that maketh himself poor, yet [hath] great riches.
8 人的资财是他生命的赎价; 穷乏人却听不见威吓的话。
The ransom of a man’s life [are] his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
9 义人的光明亮; 恶人的灯要熄灭。
The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10 骄傲只启争竞; 听劝言的,却有智慧。
Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised [is] wisdom.
11 不劳而得之财必然消耗; 勤劳积蓄的,必见加增。
Wealth [gotten] by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
12 所盼望的迟延未得,令人心忧; 所愿意的临到,却是生命树。
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but [when] the desire cometh, [it is] a tree of life.
13 藐视训言的,自取灭亡; 敬畏诫命的,必得善报。
Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
14 智慧人的法则是生命的泉源, 可以使人离开死亡的网罗。
The law of the wise [is] a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
15 美好的聪明使人蒙恩; 奸诈人的道路崎岖难行。
Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors [is] hard.
16 凡通达人都凭知识行事; 愚昧人张扬自己的愚昧。
Every prudent [man] dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open [his] folly.
17 奸恶的使者必陷在祸患里; 忠信的使臣乃医人的良药。
A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador [is] health.
18 弃绝管教的,必致贫受辱; 领受责备的,必得尊荣。
Poverty and shame [shall be to] him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
19 所欲的成就,心觉甘甜; 远离恶事,为愚昧人所憎恶。
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but [it is] abomination to fools to depart from evil.
20 与智慧人同行的,必得智慧; 和愚昧人作伴的,必受亏损。
He that walketh with wise [men] shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
21 祸患追赶罪人; 义人必得善报。
Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.
22 善人给子孙遗留产业; 罪人为义人积存资财。
A good [man] leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner [is] laid up for the just.
23 穷人耕种多得粮食, 但因不义,有消灭的。
Much food [is in] the tillage of the poor: but there is [that is] destroyed for want of judgment.
24 不忍用杖打儿子的,是恨恶他; 疼爱儿子的,随时管教。
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
25 义人吃得饱足; 恶人肚腹缺粮。
The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
