Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer turns back fury, And a grievous word raises up anger.
回答柔和，使怒消退； 言语暴戾，触动怒气。
2 The tongue of the wise makes knowledge good, And the mouth of fools utters folly.
智慧人的舌善发知识； 愚昧人的口吐出愚昧。
3 The eyes of YHWH are in every place, Watching the evil and the good.
耶和华的眼目无处不在； 恶人善人，他都鉴察。
4 A healed tongue [is] a tree of life, And perverseness in it—a breach in the spirit.
温良的舌是生命树； 乖谬的嘴使人心碎。
5 A fool despises the instruction of his father, And whoever is regarding reproof is prudent.
愚妄人藐视父亲的管教； 领受责备的，得着见识。
6 Abundant strength [is in] the house of the righteous, And in the increase of the wicked—trouble.
义人家中多有财宝； 恶人得利反受扰害。
7 The lips of the wise scatter knowledge, And the heart of fools [is] not right.
智慧人的嘴播扬知识； 愚昧人的心并不如此。
8 The sacrifice of the wicked [is] an abomination to YHWH, And the prayer of the upright [is] His delight.
恶人献祭，为耶和华所憎恶； 正直人祈祷，为他所喜悦。
9 The way of the wicked [is] an abomination to YHWH, And He loves whoever is pursuing righteousness.
恶人的道路，为耶和华所憎恶； 追求公义的，为他所喜爱。
10 Discipline [is] grievous to him who is forsaking the path, Whoever is hating reproof dies.
舍弃正路的，必受严刑； 恨恶责备的，必致死亡。
11 Sheol and destruction [are] before YHWH, Surely also the hearts of the sons of men. (Sheol h7585)
阴间和灭亡尚在耶和华眼前， 何况世人的心呢？ (Sheol h7585)
12 A scorner does not love his reprover, He does not go to the wise.
亵慢人不爱受责备； 他也不就近智慧人。
13 A joyful heart makes the face glad, And the spirit is struck by grief of heart.
心中喜乐，面带笑容； 心里忧愁，灵被损伤。
14 The heart of the intelligent seeks knowledge, And the mouth of fools enjoys folly.
聪明人心求知识； 愚昧人口吃愚昧。
15 All the days of the afflicted [are] evil, And gladness of heart [is] a perpetual banquet.
困苦人的日子都是愁苦； 心中欢畅的，常享丰筵。
16 Better [is] a little with the fear of YHWH, Than much treasure, and tumult with it.
少有财宝，敬畏耶和华， 强如多有财宝，烦乱不安。
17 Better [is] an allowance of green herbs and love there, Than a fatted ox, and hatred with it.
吃素菜，彼此相爱， 强如吃肥牛，彼此相恨。
18 A man of fury stirs up contention, And the slow to anger appeases strife.
暴怒的人挑启争端； 忍怒的人止息纷争。
19 The way of the slothful [is] as a hedge of briers, And the path of the upright is raised up.
懒惰人的道像荆棘的篱笆； 正直人的路是平坦的大道。
20 A wise son makes a father glad. And a foolish man is despising his mother.
智慧子使父亲喜乐； 愚昧人藐视母亲。
21 Folly is joy to one lacking heart, And a man of intelligence directs [his] going.
无知的人以愚妄为乐； 聪明的人按正直而行。
22 The making void of purposes [is] without counsel, And in a multitude of counselors it is established.
不先商议，所谋无效； 谋士众多，所谋乃成。
23 Joy [is] to a man in the answer of his mouth, And a word in its season—how good!
口善应对，自觉喜乐； 话合其时，何等美好。
智慧人从生命的道上升， 使他远离在下的阴间。 (Sheol h7585)
25 YHWH pulls down the house of the proud, And He sets up the border of the widow.
耶和华必拆毁骄傲人的家， 却要立定寡妇的地界。
26 Thoughts of wickedness [are] an abomination to YHWH, And sayings of pleasantness [are] pure.
恶谋为耶和华所憎恶； 良言乃为纯净。
27 A dishonest gainer is troubling his house, And whoever is hating gifts lives.
贪恋财利的，扰害己家； 恨恶贿赂的，必得存活。
28 The heart of the righteous meditates to answer, And the mouth of the wicked utters evil things.
义人的心，思量如何回答； 恶人的口吐出恶言。
29 YHWH [is] far from the wicked, And He hears the prayer of the righteous.
耶和华远离恶人， 却听义人的祷告。
30 The light of the eyes makes the heart glad, A good report makes the bone fat.
眼有光，使心喜乐； 好信息，使骨滋润。
31 An ear that is hearing the reproof of life Lodges among the wise.
听从生命责备的， 必常在智慧人中。
32 Whoever is refusing instruction is despising his soul, And whoever is hearing reproof Is getting understanding.
弃绝管教的，轻看自己的生命； 听从责备的，却得智慧。
33 The fear of YHWH [is] the instruction of wisdom, And humility [is] before honor!
敬畏耶和华是智慧的训诲； 尊荣以前，必有谦卑。
