Proverbs 14
1 A wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish destroyeth it with her owne handes.
智慧妇人建立家室； 愚妄妇人亲手拆毁。
2 He that walketh in his righteousnes, feareth the Lord: but he that is lewde in his wayes, despiseth him.
行动正直的，敬畏耶和华； 行事乖僻的，却藐视他。
3 In the mouth of the foolish is the rod of pride: but the lippes of the wise preserue them.
愚妄人口中骄傲，如杖责打己身； 智慧人的嘴必保守自己。
4 Where none oxen are, there the cribbe is emptie: but much increase cometh by the strength of the oxe.
家里无牛，槽头干净； 土产加多乃凭牛力。
5 A faithfull witnes will not lye: but a false record will speake lyes.
诚实见证人不说谎话； 假见证人吐出谎言。
6 A scorner seeketh wisdome, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easie to him that will vnderstande.
亵慢人寻智慧，却寻不着； 聪明人易得知识。
7 Depart from the foolish man, when thou perceiuest not in him the lippes of knowledge.
到愚昧人面前， 不见他嘴中有知识。
8 The wisdome of ye prudent is to vnderstand his way: but the foolishnes of the fooles is deceite.
通达人的智慧在乎明白己道； 愚昧人的愚妄乃是诡诈。
9 The foole maketh a mocke of sinne: but among the righteous there is fauour.
愚妄人犯罪，以为戏耍； 正直人互相喜悦。
10 The heart knoweth the bitternes of his soule, and the stranger shall not medle with his ioy.
心中的苦楚，自己知道； 心里的喜乐，外人无干。
11 The house of the wicked shalbe destroyed: but the tabernacle of the righteous shall florish.
奸恶人的房屋必倾倒； 正直人的帐棚必兴盛。
12 There is a way that seemeth right to a man: but the issues thereof are the wayes of death.
有一条路，人以为正， 至终成为死亡之路。
13 Euen in laughing the heart is sorowful, and the ende of that mirth is heauinesse.
人在喜笑中，心也忧愁； 快乐至极就生愁苦。
14 The heart that declineth, shall be saciate with his owne wayes: but a good man shall depart from him.
心中背道的，必满得自己的结果； 善人必从自己的行为得以知足。
15 The foolish will beleeue euery thing: but the prudent will consider his steppes.
愚蒙人是话都信； 通达人步步谨慎。
16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from euill: but a foole rageth, and is carelesse.
智慧人惧怕，就远离恶事； 愚妄人却狂傲自恃。
17 He that is hastie to anger, committeth follie, and a busie body is hated.
轻易发怒的，行事愚妄； 设立诡计的，被人恨恶。
18 The foolish do inherite follie: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
愚蒙人得愚昧为产业； 通达人得知识为冠冕。
19 The euill shall bowe before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
坏人俯伏在善人面前； 恶人俯伏在义人门口。
20 The poore is hated euen of his own neighbour: but the friendes of the rich are many.
贫穷人连邻舍也恨他； 富足人朋友最多。
21 The sinner despiseth his neighbour: but he that hath mercie on the poore, is blessed.
藐视邻舍的，这人有罪； 怜悯贫穷的，这人有福。
22 Doe not they erre that imagine euill? but to them that thinke on good things, shalbe mercie and trueth.
谋恶的，岂非走入迷途吗？ 谋善的，必得慈爱和诚实。
23 In all labour there is abundance: but the talke of the lippes bringeth onely want.
诸般勤劳都有益处； 嘴上多言乃致穷乏。
24 The crowne of the wise is their riches, and the follie of fooles is foolishnes.
智慧人的财为自己的冠冕； 愚妄人的愚昧终是愚昧。
25 A faithfull witnes deliuereth soules: but a deceiuer speaketh lyes.
作真见证的，救人性命； 吐出谎言的，施行诡诈。
26 In the feare of the Lord is an assured strength, and his children shall haue hope.
敬畏耶和华的，大有倚靠； 他的儿女也有避难所。
27 The feare of the Lord is as a welspring of life, to auoyde the snares of death.
敬畏耶和华就是生命的泉源， 可以使人离开死亡的网罗。
28 In the multitude of the people is the honour of a King, and for the want of people commeth the destruction of the Prince.
帝王荣耀在乎民多； 君王衰败在乎民少。
29 He that is slowe to wrath, is of great wisdome: but he that is of an hastie minde, exalteth follie.
不轻易发怒的，大有聪明； 性情暴躁的，大显愚妄。
30 A sounde heart is the life of the flesh: but enuie is the rotting of the bones.
心中安静是肉体的生命； 嫉妒是骨中的朽烂。
31 He that oppresseth the poore, reprooueth him that made him: but hee honoureth him, that hath mercie on the poore.
欺压贫寒的，是辱没造他的主； 怜悯穷乏的，乃是尊敬主。
32 The wicked shall be cast away for his malice: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
恶人在所行的恶上必被推倒； 义人临死，有所投靠。
33 Wisedome resteth in the heart of him that hath vnderstanding, and is knowen in the mids of fooles.
智慧存在聪明人心中； 愚昧人心里所存的，显而易见。
34 Iustice exalteth a nation, but sinne is a shame to the people.
公义使邦国高举； 罪恶是人民的羞辱。
35 The pleasure of a King is in a wise seruant: but his wrath shalbe toward him that is lewde.
智慧的臣子蒙王恩惠； 贻羞的仆人遭其震怒。
