Proverbs 10
1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes his father rejoice but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
所羅門的箴言： 智慧之子使父親歡樂； 愚昧之子叫母親擔憂。
2 Treasures accumulated by wickedness have no value, but doing what is right keeps you from death.
不義之財毫無益處； 惟有公義能救人脫離死亡。
3 Yahweh does not let the soul of the righteous person go hungry, but he frustrates the cravings of the wicked.
耶和華不使義人受飢餓； 惡人所欲的，他必推開。
4 A lazy hand causes a person to be poor, but the hand of the diligent person gains riches.
手懶的，要受貧窮； 手勤的，卻要富足。
5 A wise son gathers a crop in the summer, but it is disgraceful for him to sleep during harvest.
夏天聚斂的，是智慧之子； 收割時沉睡的，是貽羞之子。
6 Gifts from God are upon the head of the righteous person, but the mouth of the wicked covers up violence.
福祉臨到義人的頭； 強暴蒙蔽惡人的口。
7 The righteous person makes those who remember him happy, but the name of the wicked will rot away.
義人的紀念被稱讚； 惡人的名字必朽爛。
8 Those who are sensible accept commands, but a talkative fool will come to ruin.
心中智慧的，必受命令； 口裏愚妄的，必致傾倒。
9 He who walks in integrity walks in safety, but the one who makes his ways crooked, he will be found out.
行正直路的，步步安穩； 走彎曲道的，必致敗露。
10 He who winks the eye causes grief, but a talkative fool will be thrown down.
以眼傳神的，使人憂患； 口裏愚妄的，必致傾倒。
11 The mouth of the righteous person is a water spring of life, but the mouth of the wicked covers up violence.
義人的口是生命的泉源； 強暴蒙蔽惡人的口。
12 Hatred stirs up conflicts, but love covers over all offenses.
恨能挑啟爭端； 愛能遮掩一切過錯。
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of a discerning person, but a rod is for the back of the one who has no sense.
明哲人嘴裏有智慧； 無知人背上受刑杖。
14 Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool brings destruction near.
智慧人積存知識； 愚妄人的口速致敗壞。
15 The wealth of a rich man is his fortified city; the poverty of the poor is their destruction.
富戶的財物是他的堅城； 窮人的貧乏是他的敗壞。
16 The wage of the righteous person leads to life; the profit of the wicked leads them to sin.
義人的勤勞致生； 惡人的進項致死。
17 There is a path to life for the one who follows discipline, but the one who rejects correction is led astray.
謹守訓誨的，乃在生命的道上； 違棄責備的，便失迷了路。
18 Whoever conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
隱藏怨恨的，有說謊的嘴； 口出讒謗的，是愚妄的人。
19 When there are many words, transgression is not lacking, but he who is careful in what he says is wise.
多言多語難免有過； 禁止嘴唇是有智慧。
20 The tongue of the righteous person is pure silver; there is little value in the heart of the wicked.
義人的舌乃似高銀； 惡人的心所值無幾。
21 The lips of the righteous person nourish many, but fools die because of their lack of sense.
義人的口教養多人； 愚昧人因無知而死亡。
22 The good gifts of Yahweh bring wealth and he adds no pain to it.
耶和華所賜的福使人富足， 並不加上憂慮。
23 Wickedness is a game a fool plays, but wisdom is a pleasure to a man of understanding.
愚妄人以行惡為戲耍； 明哲人卻以智慧為樂。
24 The fear of the wicked person will overtake him, but the desire of righteous people will be granted.
惡人所怕的，必臨到他； 義人所願的，必蒙應允。
25 The wicked are like the storm that passes by, and they are no more, but the righteous person is a foundation that lasts forever.
暴風一過，惡人歸於無有； 義人的根基卻是永久。
26 Like vinegar on the teeth and smoke in the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him.
懶惰人叫差他的人 如醋倒牙，如煙薰目。
27 The fear of Yahweh prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be short.
敬畏耶和華使人日子加多； 但惡人的年歲必被減少。
28 The hope of righteous people is their joy, but the years of wicked people will be short.
義人的盼望必得喜樂； 惡人的指望必致滅沒。
29 The way of Yahweh protects those who have integrity, but it is destruction for the wicked.
耶和華的道是正直人的保障， 卻成了作孽人的敗壞。
30 The righteous person will never be overthrown, but the wicked will not remain in the land.
義人永不挪移； 惡人不得住在地上。
31 Out of the mouth of the righteous person comes the fruit of wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut out.
義人的口滋生智慧； 乖謬的舌必被割斷。
32 The lips of the righteous person know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked, they know what is perverse.
義人的嘴能令人喜悅； 惡人的口說乖謬的話。
