Proverbs 12
1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.
訓誨を愛する者は知識を愛す 懲戒を惡むものは畜のごとし
2 The good man obtains favor from the LORD, but the LORD condemns a man who devises evil.
善人はヱホバの恩寵をうけ 惡き謀略を設くる人はヱホバに罰せちる
3 A man cannot be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted.
人は惡をもて堅く立ことあたはず 義人の根は動くことなし
4 A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but she who causes shame is like decay in his bones.
賢き婦はその夫の冠弁なり 辱をきたらする婦は夫をしてその骨に腐あるが如くならしむ
5 The plans of the righteous are just, but the counsel of the wicked leads to deceit.
義人のおもひは直し 惡者の計るところは虚偽なり
6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.
惡者の言は人の血を流さんとて伺ふ されど直者の口は人を救ふなり
7 The wicked are overthrown and perish, but the house of the righteous will stand.
惡者はたふされて無ものとならん されど義者の家は立べし
8 A man is praised according to his wisdom, but a twisted mind is despised.
人はその聡明にしたがひて誉られ 心の悖れる者は藐めらる
9 Better to be lightly esteemed yet have a servant, than to be self-important but lack food.
卑賤してしもべある者は自らたかぶりて食に乏き者に愈る
10 A righteous man regards the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are only cruelty.
義者はその畜の生命を顧みる されど惡者は残忍をもてその憐憫とす
11 The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies lacks judgment.
おのれの田地を耕すものは食にあく 放蕩なる人にしたがふ者は智慧なし
12 The wicked desire the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.
惡者はあしき人の獲たる物をうらやみ 義者の根は芽をいだす
13 An evil man is trapped by his rebellious speech, but a righteous man escapes from trouble.
惡者はくちびるの愆によりて罟に陥る されど義者は患難の中よりまぬかれいでん
14 By fruitful speech a man is filled with good things, and the work of his hands returns to him.
人はその口の徳によりて福祉に飽ん 人の手の行爲はその人の身にかへるべし
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel.
愚なる者はみづからその道を見て正しとす されど智慧ある者はすすめを容る
16 A fool’s anger is known at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.
愚なる者はただちに怒をあらはし 智きものは恥をつつむ
17 He who speaks the truth declares what is right, but a false witness speaks deceit.
眞實をいふものは正義を述べ いつはりの證人は虚偽をいふ
18 Speaking rashly is like a piercing sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
妄りに言をいだし劍をもて刺がごとくする者あり されど智慧ある者の舌は人をいやす
19 Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
眞理をいふ口唇は何時までも存つ されど虚偽をいふ舌はただ瞬息のあひだのみなり
20 Deceit is in the hearts of those who devise evil, but the counselors of peace have joy.
惡事をはかる者の心には欺詐あり 和平を謀る者には歓喜あり
21 No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.
義者には何の禍害も來らず 惡者はわざはひをもて充さる
22 Lying lips are detestable to the LORD, but those who deal faithfully are His delight.
いつはりの口唇はヱホバに憎まれ 眞實をおこなふ者は彼に悦ばる
23 A shrewd man keeps his knowledge to himself, but a foolish heart proclaims its folly.
賢人は知識をかくす されど愚たる者のこころは愚なる事を述ぶ
24 The hand of the diligent will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.
勤めはたらく者の手は人ををさむるにいたり惰者は人に服ふるにいたる
25 Anxiety weighs down the heart of a man, but a good word cheers it up.
うれひ人の心にあれば之を屈ます されど善言はこれを樂します
26 A righteous man is cautious in friendship, but the ways of the wicked lead them astray.
義者はその友に道を示す されど惡者は自ら途にまよふ
27 A lazy man does not roast his game, but a diligent man prizes his possession.
惰者はおのれの猟獲たる物をも燔ず 勉めはたらくことは人の貴とき寳なり
28 There is life in the path of righteousness, but another path leads to death.
義しき道には生命ありその道すぢには死なし
