箴言 28
1 恶人虽无人追赶也逃跑； 义人却胆壮像狮子。
The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion.
2 邦国因有罪过，君王就多更换； 因有聪明知识的人，国必长存。
By the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof; but by a man of understanding [and] of knowledge, [its] stability is prolonged.
3 穷人欺压贫民， 好像暴雨冲没粮食。
A poor man who oppresseth the helpless is a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
4 违弃律法的，夸奖恶人； 遵守律法的，却与恶人相争。
They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as keep the law contend with them.
5 坏人不明白公义； 惟有寻求耶和华的，无不明白。
Evil men understand not judgment; but they that seek Jehovah understand everything.
6 行为纯正的穷乏人 胜过行事乖僻的富足人。
Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse, double in ways, though he be rich.
7 谨守律法的，是智慧之子； 与贪食人作伴的，却羞辱其父。
Whoso observeth the law is a son that hath understanding; but he that is a companion of profligates bringeth shame to his father.
8 人以厚利加增财物， 是给那怜悯穷人者积蓄的。
He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance gathereth it for him that is gracious to the poor.
9 转耳不听律法的， 他的祈祷也为可憎。
He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
10 诱惑正直人行恶道的，必掉在自己的坑里； 惟有完全人必承受福分。
Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, shall himself fall into his own pit; but the perfect shall inherit good.
11 富足人自以为有智慧， 但聪明的贫穷人能将他查透。
A rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
12 义人得志，有大荣耀； 恶人兴起，人就躲藏。
When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men conceal themselves.
13 遮掩自己罪过的，必不亨通； 承认离弃罪过的，必蒙怜恤。
He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh [them] shall obtain mercy.
14 常存敬畏的，便为有福； 心存刚硬的，必陷在祸患里。
Happy is the man that feareth always; but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into evil.
15 暴虐的君王辖制贫民， 好像吼叫的狮子、觅食的熊。
A roaring lion, and a ranging bear, is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
16 无知的君多行暴虐； 以贪财为可恨的，必年长日久。
The prince void of intelligence is also a great oppressor: he that hateth covetousness shall prolong [his] days.
17 背负流人血之罪的，必往坑里奔跑， 谁也不可拦阻他。
A man laden with the blood of [any] person, fleeth to the pit: let no man stay him.
18 行动正直的，必蒙拯救； 行事弯曲的，立时跌倒。
Whoso walketh in integrity shall be saved; but he that is perverted in [his] double ways, shall fall in one [of them].
19 耕种自己田地的，必得饱食； 追随虚浮的，足受穷乏。
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread; but he that followeth the worthless shall have poverty enough.
20 诚实人必多得福； 想要急速发财的，不免受罚。
A faithful man aboundeth with blessings; but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
21 看人的情面乃为不好； 人因一块饼枉法也为不好。
To have respect of persons is not good; but for a piece of bread will a man transgress.
22 人有恶眼想要急速发财， 却不知穷乏必临到他身。
He that hath an evil eye hasteth after wealth, and knoweth not that poverty shall come upon him.
23 责备人的，后来蒙人喜悦， 多于那用舌头谄媚人的。
He that rebuketh a man shall afterwards find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
24 偷窃父母的，说：这不是罪， 此人就是与强盗同类。
Whoso robbeth his father and his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, the same is the companion of a destroyer.
25 心中贪婪的，挑起争端； 倚靠耶和华的，必得丰裕。
He that is puffed up in soul exciteth contention; but he that relieth upon Jehovah shall be made fat.
26 心中自是的，便是愚昧人； 凭智慧行事的，必蒙拯救。
He that confideth in his own heart is a fool; but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
27 周济贫穷的，不致缺乏； 佯为不见的，必多受咒诅。
He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack; but he that withdraweth his eyes shall have many a curse.
28 恶人兴起，人就躲藏； 恶人败亡，义人增多。
When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase.
