Proverbs 14
1 Every wise woman has built her house, And the foolish breaks 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 Whoever is walking in his uprightness is fearing YHWH, And the perverted is despising Him [in] his ways.
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 A rod of pride [is] in the mouth of a fool, And the lips of the wise 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 Without oxen a stall [is] clean, And great [is] the increase by the power 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 does not lie, And a false witness breathes out 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 has sought wisdom, and it is not, And knowledge [is] easy to 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 before a foolish man, Or you have not known 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 understand his way, And the folly of fools [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 mock at a guilt-offering, And among the upright—a pleasing thing.
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 knows its own bitterness, And a stranger does not interfere 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 is destroyed, And the tent of the upright flourishes.
惡者の家は亡され 正直き者の幕屋はさかゆ
12 There is a way—right before a man, And its latter end [are] 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 is the heart pained, And the latter end of joy [is] affliction.
笑ふ時にも心に悲あり 歓樂の終に憂あり
14 The backslider in heart is filled from his ways, And a good man—from his fruits.
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 gives credence to everything, And the prudent attends to his step.
拙者はすべての言を信ず 賢者はその行を愼む
16 The wise is fearing and turning from evil, And a fool is transgressing and is 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 Whoever is short of temper does folly, And a man of wicked schemes 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 have inherited folly, And 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 have bowed down before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
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 The poor is hated even of his neighbor, And those loving the rich [are] many.
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 Whoever is despising his neighbor sins, Whoever is favoring the humble, O his blessedness.
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 who are devising evil not err? And kindness and truth [are] to those devising 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 labor there is advantage, And a thing of the lips [is] 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 wealth, The folly of fools [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 is delivering souls, And a deceitful one breathes out 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 Strong confidence [is] in the fear of YHWH, And there is a refuge to His sons.
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 YHWH [is] a fountain of life, To turn aside from 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 The honor of a king [is] in the multitude of a people, And the ruin of a prince in lack of people.
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 Whoever is slow to anger [is] of great understanding, And whoever is short in temper is exalting 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 healed heart [is] life to the flesh, And rottenness to the bones [is] envy.
心の安穩なるは身のいのちなり 娼嫉は骨の腐なり
31 An oppressor of the poor reproaches his Maker, And whoever is honoring Him Is favoring 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 in his wickedness, And the righteous [is] trustful 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 rests in the heart of the intelligent. And it is known in the midst of fools.
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 exalts a nation, And the righteousness of peoples [is] a sin-offering.
義は國を高くし罪は民を辱しむ
35 The favor of a king [is] to a wise servant, And one causing shame is an object of his wrath!
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
