Proverbs 29
1 He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be broken, and that without remedy.
しばしば責られてもなほ強項なる者は救はるることなくして猝然に滅されん
2 When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice: but when a wicked man beareth rule, the people sigh.
義者ませば民よろこび 惡きもの權を掌らば民かなしむ
3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth [his] substance.
智慧を愛する人はその父を悦ばせ 妓婦に交る者はその財產を費す
4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it.
王は公義をもて國を堅うす されど租税を征取る者はこれを滅す
5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his steps.
その鄰に諂ふ者はかれの脚の前に羅を張る
6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
惡人の罪の中には罟あり 然ど義者は歓び樂しむ
7 The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor: the wicked hath not understanding to know [it].
義きものは貧きものの訟をかへりみる 然ど惡人は之を知ることを願はず
8 Scornful men set a city in a flame: but wise men turn away wrath.
嘲笑人は城邑を擾し 智慧ある者は怒をしづむ
9 If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man, whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.
智慧ある人おろかなる人と爭へば或は怒り或は笑ひて休むことなし
10 The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect: and as for the upright, they seek his life.
血をながす人は直き人を惡む されど義き者はその生命を救はんことを求む
11 A fool uttereth all his anger: but a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.
愚なる者はその怒をことごとく露はし 智慧ある者は之を心に蔵む
12 If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, all his servants are wicked.
君王もし虚偽の言を聽かばその臣みな惡し
13 The poor man and the oppressor meet together: the LORD lighteneth the eyes of them both.
貧者と苛酷者と偕に世にをる ヱホバは彼等の目に光をあたへ給ふ
14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
眞實をもて弱者を審判する王はその位つねに堅く立つべし
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
鞭と譴責とは智慧をあたふ 任意になしおかれたる子はその母を辱しむ
16 When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall look upon their fall.
惡きもの多ければ罪も亦おほし 義者は彼等の傾覆をみん
17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
なんぢの子を懲せ さらば彼なんぢを安からしめ 又なんぢの心に喜樂を與へん
18 Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
默示なければ民は放肆にす 律法を守るものは福ひなり
19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not give heed.
僕は言をもて譴むるとも改めず 彼は知れども從はざればなり
20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
なんぢ言を謹まざる人を見しや 彼よりは却て愚なる者に望あり
21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become a son at the last.
僕をその幼なき時より柔かに育てなば終には子の如くならしめん
22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
怒る人は爭端を起し憤る人は罪おほし
23 A man’s pride shall bring him low: but he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honour.
人の傲慢はおのれを卑くし 心に謙だる者は榮譽を得
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.
盗人に黨する者はおのれの霊魂を惡むなり 彼は誓を聽けども説述べず
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
人を畏るれば罟におちいる ヱホバをたのむ者は護られん
26 Many seek the ruler’s favour: but a man’s judgment [cometh] from the LORD.
君の慈悲を求むる者はおほし 然れど人の事を定むるはヱホバによる
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous: and he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
不義をなす人は義者の惡むところ 義くあゆむ人は惡者の惡むところなり
