箴言 知恵の泉 14
1 智慧ある婦はその家をたて 愚なる婦はおのれの手をもて之を毀つ
Wise women build houses: but a foolish one digs [hers] down with her hands.
2 直くあゆむ者はヱホバを畏れ 曲りてあゆむ者はこれを侮る
He that walks uprightly fears the Lord; but he that is perverse in his ways shall be dishonoured.
3 愚なる者の口にはその傲のために鞭笞あり 智者の口唇はおのれを守る
Out of the mouth of fools [comes] a rod of pride; but the lips of the wise preserve them.
4 牛なければ飼蒭倉むなし牛の力によりて生產る物おほし
Where no oxen are, the cribs are clean; but where there is abundant produce, the strength of the ox is apparent.
5 忠信の證人はいつはらず 虚偽のあかしびとは謊言を吐く
A faithful witness does not lie; but an unjust witness kindles falsehoods.
6 嘲笑者は智慧を求むれどもえず 哲者は知識を得ること容易し
Thou shalt seek wisdom with bad men, and shalt not find it; but discretion is easily available with the prudent.

All things are adverse to a foolish man; but wise lips are the weapons of discretion.

The houses of transgressors will need purification; but the houses of the just are acceptable.
10 心の苦みは心みづから知る其よろこびには他人あづからず
[If] a man's mind is intelligent, his soul is sorrowful; and when he rejoices, he has no fellowship with pride.
11 惡者の家は亡され 正直き者の幕屋はさかゆ
The houses of ungodly men shall be utterly destroyed; but the tabernacles of them that walk uprightly shall stand.

There is a way which seems to be right with men, but the ends of it reach to the depths of hell. (questioned)
13 笑ふ時にも心に悲あり 歓樂の終に憂あり
Grief mingles not with mirth; and joy in the end comes to grief.
14 心の悖れる者はおのれの途に飽かん 善人もまた自己に飽かん
A stout-hearted [man] shall be filled with his own ways; and a good man with his own thoughts.
15 拙者はすべての言を信ず 賢者はその行を愼む
The simple believes every word: but the prudent man betakes himself to after-thought.

Fools shall have mischief for their portion; but the prudent shall take fast hold of understanding.
19 惡者は善者の前に俯伏し 罪ある者は義者の門に俯伏す
Evil men shall fall before the good; and the ungodly shall attend at the gates of the righteous.
20 貧者はその鄰にさへも惡まる されど富者を愛する者はおほし
Friends will hate poor friends; but the friends of the rich are many.
21 その鄰を藐むる者は罪あり 困苦者を憐むものは幸福あり
He that dishonours the needy sins: but he that has pity on the poor is most blessed.
22 惡を謀る者は自己をあやまるにあらずや 善を謀る者には憐憫と眞實とあり
They that go astray devise evils: but the good devise mercy and truth. The framers of evil do not understand mercy and truth: but compassion and faithfulness are with the framers of good.

With every one [who is] careful there is abundance: but the pleasure-taking and indolent shall be in want.

A prudent man is the crown of the wise: but the occupation of fools is evil.

In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and he leaves his children a support.
27 ヱホバを畏るることは生命の泉なり 人を死の罟より脱れしむ
The commandment of the Lord is a fountain of life; and it causes [men] to turn aside from the snare of death.

The ungodly shall be driven away in his wickedness: but he who is secure in his own holiness is just.
33 智慧は哲者の心にとどまり 愚なる者の衷にある事はあらはる
There is wisdom in the good heart of a man: but in the heart of fools it is not discerned.
34 義は國を高くし罪は民を辱しむ
Righteousness exalts a nation: but sins diminish tribes.
