箴言 知恵の泉 28
1 惡者は逐ふ者なけれども逃げ 義者は獅子のごとくに勇まし
The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are secure as a young lion.

For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof; but by a man of understanding and knowledge established order shall long continue.

A poor man that oppresseth the weak is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

Evil men understand not justice; but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
10 義者を惡き道に惑す者はみづから自己の阱に陷らん されど質直なる者は福祉をつぐべし
Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit; but the whole-hearted shall inherit good.
11 富者はおのれの目に自らを智慧ある者となす されど聰明ある貧者は彼をはかり知る
The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him through.
12 義者の喜ぶときは大なる榮あり 惡者の起るときは民身を匿す
When the righteous exult, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men must be sought for.

When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase.
