Proverbs 29
1 Sodeyn perischyng schal come on that man, that with hard nol dispisith a blamere; and helth schal not sue hym.
人屡次受责罚，仍然硬着颈项； 他必顷刻败坏，无法可治。
2 The comynalte schal be glad in the multipliyng of iust men; whanne wickid men han take prinshod, the puple schal weyle.
义人增多，民就喜乐； 恶人掌权，民就叹息。
3 A man that loueth wisdom, makith glad his fadir; but he that nurschith `an hoore, schal leese catel.
爱慕智慧的，使父亲喜乐； 与妓女结交的，却浪费钱财。
4 A iust king reisith the lond; an auerouse man schal distrie it.
王借公平，使国坚定； 索要贿赂，使国倾败。
5 A man that spekith bi flaterynge and feyned wordis to his frend; spredith abrood a net to hise steppis.
谄媚邻舍的， 就是设网罗绊他的脚。
6 A snare schal wlappe a wickid man doynge synne; and a iust man schal preise, and schal make ioye.
恶人犯罪，自陷网罗； 惟独义人欢呼喜乐。
7 A iust man knowith the cause of pore men; an vnpitouse man knowith not kunnyng.
义人知道查明穷人的案； 恶人没有聪明，就不得而知。
8 Men ful of pestilence distryen a citee; but wise men turnen awei woodnesse.
亵慢人煽惑通城； 智慧人止息众怒。
9 If a wijs man stryueth with a fool; whether he be wrooth, `ether he leiyith, he schal not fynde reste.
智慧人与愚妄人相争， 或怒或笑，总不能使他止息。
10 Menquelleris haten a simple man; but iust men seken his soule.
好流人血的，恨恶完全人， 索取正直人的性命。
11 A fool bringith forth al his spirit; a wise man dilaieth, and reserueth in to tyme comynge afterward.
愚妄人怒气全发； 智慧人忍气含怒。
12 A prince that herith wilfuli the wordis of a leesyng; schal haue alle mynystris vnfeithful.
君王若听谎言， 他一切臣仆都是奸恶。
13 A pore man and a leenere metten hem silf; the Lord is liytnere of euer ethir.
贫穷人、强暴人在世相遇； 他们的眼目都蒙耶和华光照。
14 If a kyng demeth pore men in treuthe; his trone schal be maad stidfast with outen ende.
君王凭诚实判断穷人； 他的国位必永远坚立。
15 A yerde and chastisyng schal yyue wisdom; but a child, which is left to his wille, schendith his modir.
杖打和责备能加增智慧； 放纵的儿子使母亲羞愧。
16 Grete trespassis schulen be multiplied in the multipliyng of wickid men; and iust men schulen se the fallyngis of hem.
恶人加多，过犯也加多， 义人必看见他们跌倒。
17 Teche thi sone, and he schal coumforte thee; and he schal yyue delicis to thi soule.
管教你的儿子，他就使你得安息， 也必使你心里喜乐。
18 Whanne prophesie faylith, the puple schal be distried; but he that kepith the lawe, is blessid.
没有异象，民就放肆； 惟遵守律法的，便为有福。
19 A seruaunt mai not be tauyt bi wordis; for he vndirstondith that that thou seist, and dispisith for to answere.
只用言语，仆人不肯受管教； 他虽然明白，也不留意。
20 Thou hast seyn a man swift to speke; foli schal be hopid more than his amendyng.
你见言语急躁的人吗？ 愚昧人比他更有指望。
21 He that nurschith his seruaunt delicatli fro childhod; schal fynde hym rebel aftirward.
人将仆人从小娇养， 这仆人终久必成了他的儿子。
22 A wrathful man territh chidingis; and he that is liyt to haue indignacioun, schal be more enclynaunt to synnes.
好气的人挑启争端； 暴怒的人多多犯罪。
23 Lownesse sueth a proude man; and glorie schal vp take a meke man of spirit.
人的高傲必使他卑下； 心里谦逊的，必得尊荣。
24 He that takith part with a theef, hatith his soule; he herith a man chargynge greetli, and schewith not.
人与盗贼分赃，是恨恶自己的性命； 他听见叫人发誓的声音，却不言语。
25 He that dredith a man, schal falle soon; he that hopith in the Lord, shal be reisid.
惧怕人的，陷入网罗； 惟有倚靠耶和华的，必得安稳。
26 Many men seken the face of the prince; and the doom of alle men schal go forth of the Lord.
求王恩的人多； 定人事乃在耶和华。
27 Iust men han abhomynacioun of a wickid man; and wickid men han abhomynacioun of hem, that ben in a riytful weye. A sone kepynge a word, schal be out of perdicioun.
为非作歹的，被义人憎嫌； 行事正直的，被恶人憎恶。
