Proverbs 11
1 A gileful balaunce is abhominacioun anentis God; and an euene weiyte is his wille.
诡诈的天平为耶和华所憎恶； 公平的法码为他所喜悦。
2 Where pride is, there also dispising schal be; but where meeknesse is, there also is wisdom.
骄傲来，羞耻也来； 谦逊人却有智慧。
3 The simplenesse of iust men schal dresse hem; and the disseyuyng of weiward men schal destrie hem.
正直人的纯正必引导自己； 奸诈人的乖僻必毁灭自己。
4 Richessis schulen not profite in the dai of veniaunce; but riytfulnesse schal delyuere fro deth.
发怒的日子资财无益； 惟有公义能救人脱离死亡。
5 The riytfulnesse of a simple man schal dresse his weie; and a wickid man schal falle in his wickidnesse.
完全人的义必指引他的路； 但恶人必因自己的恶跌倒。
6 The riytfulnesse of riytful men schal delyuere hem; and wickid men schulen be takun in her aspiyngis.
正直人的义必拯救自己； 奸诈人必陷在自己的罪孽中。
7 Whanne a wickid man is deed, noon hope schal be ferther; and abidyng of bisy men schal perische.
恶人一死，他的指望必灭绝； 罪人的盼望也必灭没。
8 A iust man is delyuered from angwisch; and a wickid man schal be youun for hym.
义人得脱离患难， 有恶人来代替他。
9 A feynere bi mouth disseyueth his freend; but iust men schulen be deliuered bi kunnyng.
不虔敬的人用口败坏邻舍； 义人却因知识得救。
10 A citee schal be enhaunsid in the goodis of iust men; and preysyng schal be in the perdicioun of wickid men.
义人享福，合城喜乐； 恶人灭亡，人都欢呼。
11 A citee schal be enhaunsid bi blessing of iust men; and it schal be distried bi the mouth of wickid men.
城因正直人祝福便高举， 却因邪恶人的口就倾覆。
12 He that dispisith his freend, is nedi in herte; but a prudent man schal be stille.
藐视邻舍的，毫无智慧； 明哲人却静默不言。
13 He that goith gilefuli, schewith priuetees; but he that is feithful, helith the priuetee of a freend.
往来传舌的，泄漏密事； 心中诚实的，遮隐事情。
14 Where a gouernour is not, the puple schal falle; but helthe `of the puple is, where ben many counsels.
无智谋，民就败落； 谋士多，人便安居。
15 He that makith feith for a straunger, schal be turmentid with yuel; but he that eschewith snaris, schal be sikur.
为外人作保的，必受亏损； 恨恶击掌的，却得安稳。
16 A graciouse womman schal fynde glorie; and stronge men schulen haue richessis.
恩德的妇女得尊荣； 强暴的男子得资财。
17 A merciful man doith wel to his soule; but he that is cruel, castith awei, yhe, kynnesmen.
仁慈的人善待自己； 残忍的人扰害己身。
18 A wickid man makith vnstable werk; but feithful mede is to hym, that sowith riytfulnesse.
恶人经营，得虚浮的工价； 撒义种的，得实在的果效。
19 Merci schal make redi lijf; and the suyng of yuels `schal make redi deth.
恒心为义的，必得生命； 追求邪恶的，必致死亡。
20 A schrewid herte is abhomynable to the Lord; and his wille is in hem, that goen symply.
心中乖僻的，为耶和华所憎恶； 行事完全的，为他所喜悦。
21 Thouy hond be in the hond, an yuel man schal not be innocent; but the seed of iust men schal be sauyd.
恶人虽然连手，必不免受罚； 义人的后裔必得拯救。
22 A goldun `sercle, ether ryng, in the `nose thrillis of a sowe, a womman fair and fool.
妇女美貌而无见识， 如同金环带在猪鼻上。
23 The desir of iust men is al good; abiding of wickid men is woodnesse.
义人的心愿尽得好处； 恶人的指望致干忿怒。
24 Sum men departen her owne thingis, and ben maad richere; other men rauyschen thingis, that ben not hern, and ben euere in nedynesse.
有施散的，却更增添； 有吝惜过度的，反致穷乏。
25 A soule that blessith, schal be maad fat; and he that fillith, schal be fillid also.
好施舍的，必得丰裕； 滋润人的，必得滋润。
26 He that hidith wheete `in tyme, schal be cursid among the puplis; but blessyng schal come on the heed of silleris.
屯粮不卖的，民必咒诅他； 情愿出卖的，人必为他祝福。
27 Wel he risith eerli, that sekith good thingis; but he that is a serchere of yuels, schal be oppressid of tho.
恳切求善的，就求得恩惠； 惟独求恶的，恶必临到他身。
28 He that tristith in hise richessis, schal falle; but iust men schulen buriowne as a greene leef.
倚仗自己财物的，必跌倒； 义人必发旺，如青叶。
29 He that disturblith his hows, schal haue wyndis in possessioun; and he that is a fool, schal serue a wijs man.
扰害己家的，必承受清风； 愚昧人必作慧心人的仆人。
30 The fruyt of a riytful man is the tre of lijf; and he that takith soulis, is a wijs man.
义人所结的果子就是生命树； 有智慧的，必能得人。
31 If a iust man receyueth in erthe, how miche more an vnfeithful man, and synnere.
看哪，义人在世尚且受报， 何况恶人和罪人呢？
