Proverbs 14
1 The wise woman builds her house, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.
智慧妇人建立家室； 愚妄妇人亲手拆毁。
2 The one who walks uprightly fears Yahweh, but the one who is dishonest in his ways despises him.
行动正直的，敬畏耶和华； 行事乖僻的，却藐视他。
3 From the mouth of a fool comes an offshoot of his pride, but the lips of the wise will preserve them.
愚妄人口中骄傲，如杖责打己身； 智慧人的嘴必保守自己。
4 Where there are no cattle the feeding trough is clean, but an abundant crop can come by the strength of an ox.
家里无牛，槽头干净； 土产加多乃凭牛力。
5 A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness breathes out lies.
诚实见证人不说谎话； 假见证人吐出谎言。
6 A mocker seeks wisdom and there is none, but knowledge comes easy to the one who is discerning.
亵慢人寻智慧，却寻不着； 聪明人易得知识。
7 Walk away from a foolish person, for you will not find knowledge on his lips.
到愚昧人面前， 不见他嘴中有知识。
8 The wisdom of the prudent person is to understand his own way, but the folly of fools is deception.
通达人的智慧在乎明白己道； 愚昧人的愚妄乃是诡诈。
9 Fools mock when the guilt offering is sacrificed, but among the upright favor is shared.
愚妄人犯罪，以为戏耍； 正直人互相喜悦。
10 The heart knows its own bitterness and no stranger shares its joy.
心中的苦楚，自己知道； 心里的喜乐，外人无干。
11 The house of wicked people will be destroyed, but the tent of upright people will flourish.
奸恶人的房屋必倾倒； 正直人的帐棚必兴盛。
12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end only leads to death.
有一条路，人以为正， 至终成为死亡之路。
13 A heart can laugh but still be in pain and joy may end up being grief.
人在喜笑中，心也忧愁； 快乐至极就生愁苦。
14 The one who is not faithful will get what his ways deserve, but a good person will get what is his.
心中背道的，必满得自己的结果； 善人必从自己的行为得以知足。
15 The one who is naive believes everything, but the prudent man thinks about his steps.
愚蒙人是话都信； 通达人步步谨慎。
16 A wise man fears and turns away from evil, but the fool confidently dismisses a warning.
智慧人惧怕，就远离恶事； 愚妄人却狂傲自恃。
17 One who is quick to become angry does foolish things, and a person who makes evil schemes is hated.
轻易发怒的，行事愚妄； 设立诡计的，被人恨恶。
18 The naive inherit foolishness, but prudent people are crowned with knowledge.
愚蒙人得愚昧为产业； 通达人得知识为冠冕。
19 Evil people will bow down before those who are good and those who are wicked will bow down at the gates of the righteous person.
坏人俯伏在善人面前； 恶人俯伏在义人门口。
20 The poor person is hated even by his own companions, but the rich people have many friends.
贫穷人连邻舍也恨他； 富足人朋友最多。
21 The one who shows contempt for his neighbor is sinning, but the one who shows favor to the poor is blessed.
藐视邻舍的，这人有罪； 怜悯贫穷的，这人有福。
22 Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those who plan to do good will receive covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness.
谋恶的，岂非走入迷途吗？ 谋善的，必得慈爱和诚实。
23 With all hard work comes a profit, but when there is only talk, it leads to poverty.
诸般勤劳都有益处； 嘴上多言乃致穷乏。
24 The crown of wise people is their wealth, but the folly of fools brings them only more folly.
智慧人的财为自己的冠冕； 愚妄人的愚昧终是愚昧。
25 A truthful witness saves lives, but a false witness breathes out lies.
作真见证的，救人性命； 吐出谎言的，施行诡诈。
26 When someone fears Yahweh, he also has much confidence in him; these things will be like a strong place of protection for this man's children.
敬畏耶和华的，大有倚靠； 他的儿女也有避难所。
27 The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life, so that a person may turn away from the snares of death.
敬畏耶和华就是生命的泉源， 可以使人离开死亡的网罗。
28 The glory of a king is found in the great number of his people, but without people the prince is ruined.
帝王荣耀在乎民多； 君王衰败在乎民少。
29 A patient person has great understanding, but the quick-tempered person exalts folly.
不轻易发怒的，大有聪明； 性情暴躁的，大显愚妄。
30 A tranquil heart is life for the body, but envy rots the bones.
心中安静是肉体的生命； 嫉妒是骨中的朽烂。
31 The one who oppresses the poor curses his Maker, but the one who shows favor to the needy honors him.
欺压贫寒的，是辱没造他的主； 怜悯穷乏的，乃是尊敬主。
32 The wicked person is brought down by his evil actions, but the righteous person has a refuge even in death.
恶人在所行的恶上必被推倒； 义人临死，有所投靠。
33 Wisdom rests in the heart of the discerning, but even among fools she lets herself be known.
智慧存在聪明人心中； 愚昧人心里所存的，显而易见。
34 Doing what is right exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
公义使邦国高举； 罪恶是人民的羞辱。
35 The favor of the king is with the servant who acts prudently, but his anger is for the one who acts shamefully.
智慧的臣子蒙王恩惠； 贻羞的仆人遭其震怒。
