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 one pursueth; But the righteous is as bold as a lion.

Through the transgression of a land many are its rulers; But through men of prudence and understanding the prince shall live long.

They who forsake the law praise the wicked; But they who keep the law contend with them.

Wicked men understand not equity; But they who seek the LORD understand all things.
6 義しくあゆむ貧者は曲れる路をあゆむ富者に愈る
Better is a poor man who walketh in uprightness, Than he who is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

He that causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way Shall himself fall into his own pit; But the upright shall have good things in possession.
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 conceit; But the poor man, who hath understanding, will search 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 rejoice, there is great glorying; But, when the wicked are exalted, men hide themselves.

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper; But he that confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

To have respect to persons is not good; Since for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

23 人を譴むる者は舌をもて諂ふ者よりも大なる感謝をうく
He who rebuketh a man shall afterwards find favor More than he who flattereth with his tongue.
24 父母の物を竊みて罪ならずといふ者は滅す者の友なり
Whoso stealeth from his father or his mother, And saith, “It is no transgression,” The same is the companion of a robber.

27 貧者に賙すものは乏しからず その目を掩ふ者は詛を受ること多し
He who giveth to the poor shall not want; But he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
28 惡者の起るときは人匿れ その滅るときは義者ます
When the wicked are exalted, men hide themselves; But, when they perish, the righteous increase.
