箴言 16
1 心中的謀算在乎人； 舌頭的應對由於耶和華。
It perteyneth to man to make redi the soule; and it perteyneth to the Lord to gouerne the tunge.
2 人一切所行的，在自己眼中看為清潔； 惟有耶和華衡量人心。
Alle the weies of men ben opyn to the iyen of God; the Lord is a weiere of spiritis.
3 你所做的，要交託耶和華， 你所謀的，就必成立。
Schewe thi werkys to the Lord; and thi thouytis schulen be dressid.
4 耶和華所造的，各適其用； 就是惡人也為禍患的日子所造。
The Lord wrouyte alle thingis for hym silf; and he made redi a wickid man to the yuel dai.
5 凡心裏驕傲的，為耶和華所憎惡； 雖然連手，他必不免受罰。
Abhomynacioun of the Lord is ech proude man; yhe, thouy the hond is to the hond, he schal not be innocent. The bigynnyng of good weie is to do riytwisnesse; forsothe it is more acceptable at God, than to offre sacrifices.
6 因憐憫誠實，罪孽得贖； 敬畏耶和華的，遠離惡事。
Wickidnesse is ayen bouyt bi merci and treuthe; and me bowith awei fro yuel bi the drede of the Lord.
7 人所行的，若蒙耶和華喜悅， 耶和華也使他的仇敵與他和好。
Whanne the weyes of man plesen the Lord, he schal conuerte, yhe, hise enemyes to pees.
8 多有財利，行事不義， 不如少有財利，行事公義。
Betere is a litil with riytfulnesse, than many fruytis with wickidnesse.
9 人心籌算自己的道路； 惟耶和華指引他的腳步。
The herte of a man schal dispose his weie; but it perteyneth to the Lord to dresse hise steppis.
10 王的嘴中有神語， 審判之時，他的口必不差錯。
Dyuynyng is in the lippis of a king; his mouth schal not erre in doom.
11 公道的天平和秤都屬耶和華； 囊中一切法碼都為他所定。
The domes of the Lord ben weiyte and a balaunce; and hise werkis ben alle the stoonys of the world.
12 作惡，為王所憎惡， 因國位是靠公義堅立。
Thei that don wickidli ben abhomynable to the king; for the trone of the rewme is maad stidfast bi riytfulnesse.
13 公義的嘴為王所喜悅； 說正直話的，為王所喜愛。
The wille of kyngis is iust lippis; he that spekith riytful thingis, schal be dressid.
14 王的震怒如殺人的使者； 但智慧人能止息王怒。
Indignacioun of the kyng is messangeris of deth; and a wijs man schal plese him.
15 王的臉光使人有生命； 王的恩典好像春雲時雨。
Lijf is in the gladnesse of the `cheer of the king; and his merci is as a reyn comynge late.
16 得智慧勝似得金子； 選聰明強如選銀子。
Welde thou wisdom, for it is betere than gold; and gete thou prudence, for it is precyousere than siluer.
17 正直人的道是遠離惡事； 謹守己路的，是保全性命。
The path of iust men bowith awei yuelis; the kepere of his soule kepith his weie.
18 驕傲在敗壞以先； 狂心在跌倒之前。
Pride goith bifore sorewe; and the spirit schal be enhaunsid byfor fallyng.
19 心裏謙卑與窮乏人來往， 強如將擄物與驕傲人同分。
It is betere to be maad meke with mylde men, than to departe spuylis with proude men.
20 謹守訓言的，必得好處； 倚靠耶和華的，便為有福。
A lerned man in word schal fynde goodis; and he that hopith in the Lord is blessid.
21 心中有智慧，必稱為通達人； 嘴中的甜言，加增人的學問。
He that is wijs in herte, schal be clepid prudent; and he that is swete in speche, schal fynde grettere thingis.
22 人有智慧就有生命的泉源； 愚昧人必被愚昧懲治。
The welle of lijf is the lernyng of him that weldith; the techyng of foolis is foli.
23 智慧人的心教訓他的口， 又使他的嘴增長學問。
The herte of a wijs man schal teche his mouth; and schal encreesse grace to hise lippis.
24 良言如同蜂房， 使心覺甘甜，使骨得醫治。
Wordis wel set togidere is a coomb of hony; helthe of boonys is the swetnesse of soule.
25 有一條路，人以為正， 至終成為死亡之路。
A weye is that semeth riytful to a man; and the laste thingis therof leden to deth.
26 勞力人的胃口使他勞力， 因為他的口腹催逼他。
The soule of a man trauelinge trauelith to hym silf; for his mouth compellide hym.
27 匪徒圖謀奸惡， 嘴上彷彿有燒焦的火。
An vnwijs man diggith yuel; and fier brenneth in hise lippis.
28 乖僻人播散紛爭； 傳舌的，離間密友。
A weiward man reisith stryues; and a man ful of wordis departith princis.
29 強暴人誘惑鄰舍， 領他走不善之道。
A wickid man flaterith his frend; and ledith hym bi a weie not good.
30 眼目緊合的，圖謀乖僻； 嘴唇緊閉的，成就邪惡。
He that thenkith schrewid thingis with iyen astonyed, bitith hise lippis, and parformeth yuel.
31 白髮是榮耀的冠冕， 在公義的道上必能得着。
A coroun of dignyte is eelde, that schal be foundun in the weies of riytfulnesse.
32 不輕易發怒的，勝過勇士； 治服己心的，強如取城。
A pacient man is betere than a stronge man; and he that `is lord of his soule, is betere than an ouercomere of citees.
33 籤放在懷裏， 定事由耶和華。
Lottis ben sent into the bosum; but tho ben temperid of the Lord.
