Proverbs 12
1 He that loves instruction loves sense, but he that hates reproofs is a fool.
喜爱管教的，就是喜爱知识； 恨恶责备的，却是畜类。
2 He that has found favour with the Lord [is made] better; but a transgressor shall be passed over in silence.
善人必蒙耶和华的恩惠； 设诡计的人，耶和华必定他的罪。
3 A man shall not prosper by wickedness; but the roots of the righteous shall not be taken up.
人靠恶行不能坚立； 义人的根必不动摇。
4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but as a worm in wood, so a bad woman destroys her husband.
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。
5 The thoughts of the righteous [are true] judgements; but ungodly men devise deceits.
义人的思念是公平； 恶人的计谋是诡诈。
6 The words of ungodly men are crafty; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
恶人的言论是埋伏流人的血； 正直人的口必拯救人。
7 When the ungodly is overthrown, he vanishes away; but the houses of the just remain.
恶人倾覆，归于无有； 义人的家必站得住。
8 The mouth of an understanding [man] is praised by a man; but he that is dull of heart is had in derision.
人必按自己的智慧被称赞； 心中乖谬的，必被藐视。
9 Better is a man in dishonour serving himself, than one honouring himself and lacking bread.
被人轻贱，却有仆人， 强如自尊，缺少食物。
10 A righteous man has pity for the lives of his cattle; but the bowels of the ungodly are unmerciful.
义人顾惜他牲畜的命； 恶人的怜悯也是残忍。
11 He that tills his own land shall be satisfied with bread; but they that pursue vanities are void of understanding. He that enjoys himself in banquets of wine, shall leave dishonour in his own strong holds.
耕种自己田地的，必得饱食； 追随虚浮的，却是无知。
12 The desires of the ungodly are evil; but the roots of the godly are firmly set.
恶人想得坏人的网罗； 义人的根得以结实。
13 For the sin of [his] lips a sinner falls into snare; but a righteous man escapes from them. He whose looks are gentle shall be pitied, but he that contends in the gates will afflict souls.
恶人嘴中的过错是自己的网罗； 但义人必脱离患难。
14 The soul of a man shall be filled with good from the fruits of his mouth; and the recompence of his lips shall be given to him.
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。
15 The ways of fools are right in their own eyes; but a wise man hearkens to counsels.
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。
16 A fool declares his wrath the same day; but a prudent man hides his own disgrace.
愚妄人的恼怒立时显露； 通达人能忍辱藏羞。
17 A righteous man declares the open truth; but an unjust witness is deceitful.
说出真话的，显明公义； 作假见证的，显出诡诈。
18 Some wound as they speak, [like] swords; but the tongues of the wise heal.
说话浮躁的，如刀刺人； 智慧人的舌头却为医人的良药。
19 True lips establish testimony; but a hasty witness has an unjust tongue.
口吐真言，永远坚立； 舌说谎话，只存片时。
20 [There is] deceit in the heart of him that imagines evil; but they that love peace shall rejoice.
图谋恶事的，心存诡诈； 劝人和睦的，便得喜乐。
21 No injustice will please a just man; but the ungodly will be filled with mischief.
义人不遭灾害；恶人满受祸患。
22 Lying lips are a abomination to the Lord; but he that deals faithfully is accepted with him.
说谎言的嘴为耶和华所憎恶； 行事诚实的，为他所喜悦。
23 An understanding man is a throne of wisdom; but the heart of fools shall meet with curses.
通达人隐藏知识； 愚昧人的心彰显愚昧。
24 The hand of chosen men shall easily obtain rule; but the deceitful shall be for a prey.
殷勤人的手必掌权； 懒惰的人必服苦。
25 A terrible word troubles the heart of a righteous man; but a good message rejoices him.
人心忧虑，屈而不伸； 一句良言，使心欢乐。
26 A just arbitrator shall be his own friend; but mischief shall pursue sinners; and the way of ungodly men shall lead them astray.
义人引导他的邻舍； 恶人的道叫人失迷。
27 A deceitful man shall catch no game; but a blameless man is a precious possession.
懒惰的人不烤打猎所得的； 殷勤的人却得宝贵的财物。
28 In the ways of righteousness is life; but the ways of those that remember injuries [lead] to death.
在公义的道上有生命； 其路之中并无死亡。
