Proverbs 14
1 The wisdom of women buildeth their house; but folly plucketh it down with her hands.
智慧ある婦はその家をたて 愚なる婦はおのれの手をもて之を毀つ
2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth Jehovah; but he that is perverted in his ways despiseth him.
直くあゆむ者はヱホバを畏れ 曲りてあゆむ者はこれを侮る
3 In the fool's mouth is a rod of pride; but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
愚なる者の口にはその傲のために鞭笞あり 智者の口唇はおのれを守る
4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean; but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
牛なければ飼蒭倉むなし牛の力によりて生產る物おほし
5 A faithful witness will not lie; but a false witness uttereth lies.
忠信の證人はいつはらず 虚偽のあかしびとは謊言を吐く
6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and there is none [for him]; but knowledge is easy unto the intelligent.
嘲笑者は智慧を求むれどもえず 哲者は知識を得ること容易し
7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, in whom thou perceivest not the lips of knowledge.
汝おろかなる者の前を離れされ つひに知識の彼にあるを見ざるべし
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way; but the folly of the foolish is deceit.
賢者の智慧はおのれの道を暁るにあり 愚なる者の痴は欺くにあり
9 Fools make a mock at trespass; but for the upright there is favour.
おろろかなる者は罪をかろんず されど義者の中には恩惠あり
10 The heart knoweth its own bitterness, and a stranger doth not intermeddle with its joy.
心の苦みは心みづから知る其よろこびには他人あづからず
11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown; but the tent of the upright shall flourish.
惡者の家は亡され 正直き者の幕屋はさかゆ
12 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is the ways of death.
人のみづから見て正しとする途にしてその終はつひに死にいたる途となるものあり
13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful, and the end of mirth is sadness.
笑ふ時にも心に悲あり 歓樂の終に憂あり
14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways, and the good man from what is in himself.
心の悖れる者はおのれの途に飽かん 善人もまた自己に飽かん
15 The simple believeth every word; but the prudent [man] heedeth his going.
拙者はすべての言を信ず 賢者はその行を愼む
16 A wise [man] feareth and departeth from evil; but the foolish is overbearing and confident.
智慧ある者は怖れて惡をはなれ 愚なる者はたかぶりて怖れず
17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly, and a man of mischievous devices is hated.
怒り易き者は愚なることを行ひ 惡き謀計を設くる者は惡まる
18 The simple inherit folly; but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
拙者は愚なる事を得て所有となし 賢者は知識をもて冠弁となす
19 The evil bow before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous [man].
惡者は善者の前に俯伏し 罪ある者は義者の門に俯伏す
20 He that is poor is hated even of his own neighbour; but the rich hath many friends.
貧者はその鄰にさへも惡まる されど富者を愛する者はおほし
21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth; but he that is gracious to the afflicted, happy is he.
その鄰を藐むる者は罪あり 困苦者を憐むものは幸福あり
22 Do they not err that devise evil? but loving-kindness and truth are for those that devise good.
惡を謀る者は自己をあやまるにあらずや 善を謀る者には憐憫と眞實とあり
23 In all labour there is profit; but the talk of the lips [tendeth] only to want.
すべての勤勞には利益あり されど口唇のことばは貧乏をきたらするのみなり
24 The crown of the wise is their riches; the folly of the foolish is folly.
智慧ある者の財寳はその冠弁となる 愚なる者のおろかはただ痴なり
25 A true witness delivereth souls; but deceit uttereth lies.
眞實の證人は人のいのちを救ふ 謊言を吐く者は偽人なり
26 In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence, and his children shall have a place of refuge.
ヱホバを畏るることは堅き依賴なり その兒輩は逃避場をうべし
27 The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, to turn away from the snares of death.
ヱホバを畏るることは生命の泉なり 人を死の罟より脱れしむ
28 In the multitude of people is the king's glory; but in the lack of people is the ruin of a prince.
王の榮は民の多きにあり 牧伯の衰敗は民を失ふにあり
29 He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
怒を遅くする者は大なる知識あり 氣の短き者は愚なることを顯す
30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh; but envy the rottenness of the bones.
心の安穩なるは身のいのちなり 娼嫉は骨の腐なり
31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; but he that honoureth Him is gracious to the needy.
貧者を虐ぐる者はその造主を侮るなり 彼をうやまふ者は貧者をあはれむ
32 The wicked is driven away by his evil-doing; but the righteous trusteth, [even] in his death.
惡者はその惡のうちにて亡され義者はその死ぬる時にも望あり
33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of the intelligent [man]; but that which is in the foolish maketh itself known.
智慧は哲者の心にとどまり 愚なる者の衷にある事はあらはる
34 Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to peoples.
義は國を高くし罪は民を辱しむ
35 The king's favour is toward a wise servant; but his wrath is [against] him that causeth shame.
さとき僕は王の恩を蒙ぶり 辱をきたらす者はその震怒にあふ
