Proverbs 13
1 A wise son [heareth] his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
智慧ある子は父の教訓をきき 戯謔者は懲治をきかず
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of [his] mouth: but the soul of the transgressors [shall eat] violence.
人はその口の徳によりて福祉をくらひ悖逆者の霊魂は強暴をくらふ
3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: [but] he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
その口を守る者はその生命を守る その口唇を大きくひらく者には滅亡きたる
4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and [hath] nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
惰る者はこころに慕へども得ることなし 勤めはたらく者の心は豊饒なり
5 A righteous [man] hateth lying: but a wicked [man] is lothsome, and cometh to shame.
義者は虚偽の言をにくみ 惡者ははぢをかうむらせ面を赤くせしむ
6 Righteousness keepeth [him that is] upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
義は道を直くあゆむ者をまもり 惡は罪人を倒す
7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet [hath] nothing: [there is] that maketh himself poor, yet [hath] great riches.
自ら富めりといひあらはして些少の所有もなき者あり 自ら貧しと稱へて資財おほき者ありi
8 The ransom of a man's life [is] his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
人の資財はその生命を贖ふものとなるあり 然ど貧者は威嚇をきくことあらず
9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be extinguished.
義者の光は輝き惡者の燈火はけさる
10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well-advised [is] wisdom.
驕傲はただ争端を生ず 勧告をきく者は智慧あり
11 Wealth [gotten] by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labor shall increase.
詭詐をもて得たる資財は減る されど手をもて聚めたくはふる者はこれを増すことを得
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but [when] the desire cometh, [it is] a tree of life.
望を得ること遅きときは心を疾しめ 願ふ所既にとぐるときは生命の樹を得たるがごとし
13 Whoever despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
御言をかろんずる者は亡され 誡命をおそるる者は報賞を得
14 The law of the wise [is] a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
智慧ある人の教訓はいのちの泉なり 能く人をして死の罟を脱れしむ
15 Good understanding giveth favor: but the way of transgressors [is] hard.
善にして哲きものは恩を蒙る されど悸逆者の途は艱難なり
16 Every prudent [man] dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open [his] folly.
凡そ賢者は知識に由りて事をおこなひ 愚なる者はおのれの痴を顕す
17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful embassador [is] health.
惡き使者は災禍に陥る されど忠信なる使者は良薬の如し
18 Poverty and shame [shall be to] him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honored.
貧乏と恥辱とは教訓をすつる者にきたる されど譴責を守る者は尊まる
19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but [it is] abomination to fools to depart from evil.
望を得れば心に甘し 愚なる者は惡を棄つることを嫌ふ
20 He that walketh with wise [men] shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
智慧ある者と偕にあゆむものは智慧をえ 愚なる者の友となる者はあしくなる
21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repaid.
わざはひは罪人を追ひ 義者は善報をうく
22 A good [man] leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner [is] laid up for the just.
善人はその産業を子孫に遺す されど罪人の資材は義者のために蓄へらる
23 Much food [is in] the tillage of the poor: but there is [that is] destroyed for want of judgment.
貧しき者の新田にはおほくの糧あり されど不義によりて亡る者あり
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
鞭をくはへざる者はその子を憎むなり 子を愛する者はしきりに之をいましむ
25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
義しき者は食をえて胞く されど惡者の腹は空し
