Proverbs 10

1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

所罗门的箴言： 智慧之子使父亲欢乐； 愚昧之子叫母亲担忧。

2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

不义之财毫无益处； 惟有公义能救人脱离死亡。

3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.

耶和华不使义人受饥饿； 恶人所欲的，他必推开。

4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

手懒的，要受贫穷； 手勤的，却要富足。

5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: [but] he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

夏天聚敛的，是智慧之子； 收割时沉睡的，是贻羞之子。

6 Blessings are upon the head of the righteous: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

福祉临到义人的头； 强暴蒙蔽恶人的口。

7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

义人的纪念被称赞； 恶人的名字必朽烂。

8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

心中智慧的，必受命令； 口里愚妄的，必致倾倒。

9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

行正直路的，步步安稳； 走弯曲道的，必致败露。

10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

以眼传神的，使人忧患； 口里愚妄的，必致倾倒。

11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

义人的口是生命的泉源； 强暴蒙蔽恶人的口。

12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all transgressions.

恨能挑启争端； 爱能遮掩一切过错。

13 In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

明哲人嘴里有智慧； 无知人背上受刑杖。

14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction.

智慧人积存知识； 愚妄人的口速致败坏。

15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

富户的财物是他的坚城； 穷人的贫乏是他的败坏。

16 The labour of the righteous [tendeth] to life; the increase of the wicked to sin.

义人的勤劳致生； 恶人的进项致死。

17 He is in the way of life that heedeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproof erreth.

谨守训诲的，乃在生命的道上； 违弃责备的，便失迷了路。

18 He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; and he that uttereth a slander is a fool.

隐藏怨恨的，有说谎的嘴； 口出谗谤的，是愚妄的人。

19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression: but he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.

多言多语难免有过； 禁止嘴唇是有智慧。

20 The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.

义人的舌乃似高银； 恶人的心所值无几。

21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but the foolish die for lack of understanding.

义人的口教养多人； 愚昧人因无知而死亡。

22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow therewith.

耶和华所赐的福使人富足， 并不加上忧虑。

23 It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness: and [so is] wisdom to a man of understanding.

愚妄人以行恶为戏耍； 明哲人却以智慧为乐。

24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: and the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

恶人所怕的，必临到他； 义人所愿的，必蒙应允。

25 When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

暴风一过，恶人归于无有； 义人的根基却是永久。

26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.

懒惰人叫差他的人 如醋倒牙，如烟薰目。

27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

敬畏耶和华使人日子加多； 但恶人的年岁必被减少。

28 The hope of the righteous [shall] be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

义人的盼望必得喜乐； 恶人的指望必致灭没。

29 The way of the LORD is a strong hold to the upright; but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

耶和华的道是正直人的保障， 却成了作孽人的败坏。

30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not dwell in the land.

义人永不挪移； 恶人不得住在地上。

31 The mouth of the righteous bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut off.

义人的口滋生智慧； 乖谬的舌必被割断。

32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked [speaketh] frowardness.

义人的嘴能令人喜悦； 恶人的口说乖谬的话。
