Proverbs 1 1 Man may make plans in his heart, but what the tongue utters is from the LORD. 内心策划在于人，应允却在于上主。 2 All the ways of a man may be pure in his own eyes, but it is the LORD who proves the spirit. 对自己的行为，人都自觉无瑕；但审察心灵的，却是上主。 3 Entrust your works to the LORD, and your plans will succeed. 将你的作为委托于上主，这样你的计划必会成功。 4 2 The LORD has made everything for his own ends, even the wicked for the evil day. 上主所造的各有其用意，连恶人也有不幸的一日。 5 Every proud man is an abomination to the LORD; I assure you that he will not go unpunished. 6 By kindness and piety guilt is expiated, and by the fear of the LORD man avoids evil. 藉慈善忠诚，可补赎罪过；藉敬畏上主，可避免罪恶。 7 When the LORD is pleased with a man's ways, he makes even his enemies be at peace with him. 8 Better a little with virtue, than a large income with injustice. 收入少而守正义，胜于进款多而行不义。 人心里都策划自己的行径；但他的步伐却由上主支配。 10 3 The king's lips are an oracle; no judgment he pronounces is false. 神明的断语，出自君王口；他口下判断，必不致差错。 11 Balance and scales belong to the LORD; all the weights used with them are his concern. 天秤和称盘，属上主所有；囊中的法码，全由他制定。 12 Kings have a horror of wrongdoing, for by righteousness the throne endures. 13 The king takes delight in honest lips, and the man who speaks what is right he loves. 正义的唇舌，为君王所喜悦；说话正直者，为君王所爱戴。 14 The king's wrath is like messengers of death, but a wise man can pacify it. 君王的震怒，是死讯的使者；但是智慧人，能平息王怒。 君王容光焕发，人即可活命；君王的恩泽，有如春云时雨。 16 How much better to acquire wisdom than gold! To acquire understanding is more desirable than silver. 获得智慧，胜于获得黄金；获得智识，胜于获得白银。 17 The path of the upright avoids misfortune; he who pays attention to his way safeguards his life. 18 Pride goes before disaster, and a haughty spirit before a fall. 骄横是灭亡的先声，傲慢是陨落的前导。 19 It is better to be humble with the meek than to share plunder with the proud. 谦下与贫民共处，胜于与骄傲人分赃。 20 He who plans a thing will be successful; happy is he who trusts in the LORD! 细听劝言的，必将受益；信赖上主的，真是有福。 21 The wise man is esteemed for his discernment, yet pleasing speech increases his persuasiveness. 有慧心的人，被称为哲人；温和的口吻，更具说服力。 22 Good sense is a fountain of life to its possessor, but folly brings chastisement on fools. 为有智识的人，智识是生命的泉源；然而糊涂愚昧，却是愚昧人的惩罚。 23 The mind of the wise man makes him eloquent, and augments the persuasiveness of his lips. 智慧人的心，使自己的嘴灵巧，使自己的唇舌，更具说服力。 24 Pleasing words are a honeycomb, sweet to the taste and healthful to the body. 亲切的言语，有如蜂蜜，使心灵愉快，使筋骨舒畅。 25 Sometimes a way seems right to a man, but the end of it leads to death! 有些道路，看来正直；走到尽头，却是死路。 26 The laborer's appetite labors for him, for his mouth urges him on. 无赖之徒，图谋邪恶；他的嘴上，似有火烧。 28 An intriguer sows discord, and a talebearer separates bosom friends. 乖戾的人，撒播争端；告密的人，离间友情。 强横的人，诱惑朋友；引他走入不正之徒。 30 He who winks his eye is plotting trickery; he who compresses his lips has mischief ready. 31 Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained by virtuous living. 皓首白发，是尊荣的冠冕；只在正义的道上，方可获得。 有涵养的人，胜于勇士；克服自己的人，胜于克城的人。 33 4 When the lot is cast into the lap, its decision depends entirely on the LORD. 人尽可在怀中抽签，但决断却在乎上主。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [1] Words, like actions, often produce results different from those which were planned. 2 [4] Even the wicked, in their punishment, cannot escape glorifying God's justice. 3 [10] Decisions of supreme judicial authority were presumed disinterested and correct. 4 [33] The favorable or unfavorable result of chance depends on God. Deciding strifes and doubts by lot was practiced by the ancient Hebrews; cf Exodus 28:15-30; Lev 16:8; Joshua 7:14; 1 Sam 10:20-21. |
