Proverbs 12
1 Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge: but he that hates reproof is brutish.
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 A good man obtains favor of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
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 shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
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 virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that makes ashamed is as rottenness 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 thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are 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 are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver 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 are not: but the house of the righteous shall 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 shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be 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 He that is despised, and has a servant, is better than he that honors himself, and lacks bread.
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 beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
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 He that tills his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that follows vain persons is void of understanding.
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 desires the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yields fruit.
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 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of 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 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompense of a man’s hands shall be rendered 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 he that listens to counsel is wise.
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 wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covers shame.
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 that speaks truth shows forth righteousness: but a false witness 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 There is that speaks like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
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 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for 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 heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is 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 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
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 abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly 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 prudent man conceals knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.
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 shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
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 Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop: but a good word makes it glad.
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 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor: but the way of the wicked seduces them.
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 The slothful man roasts not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
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 In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
義しき道には生命ありその道すぢには死なし
