Contrast of the Upright and the Wicked

1One who separates himself seeks his own desire;
He quarrels against all sound wisdom.
1與眾寡合的,獨自尋求心願,並惱恨一切真智慧。
2A fool does not delight in understanding,
But in revealing his own mind.
2愚昧人不喜愛明哲,只喜愛顯露心意。
3When a wicked person comes, contempt also comes,
And with dishonor comes taunting.
3惡人來,藐視隨來;羞恥到,辱罵同到。
4The words of a person’s mouth are deep waters;
The fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.
4人口中的言語如同深水;智慧的泉源好像湧流的河水。
5To show partiality to the wicked is not good,
Nor to suppress the righteous in judgment.
5瞻徇惡人的情面,偏斷義人的案件,都為不善。
6A fool’s lips bring strife,
And his mouth invites beatings.
6愚昧人張嘴啟爭端,開口招鞭打。
7A fool’s mouth is his ruin,
And his lips are the snare of his soul.
7愚昧人的口自取敗壞;他的嘴是他生命的網羅。
8The words of a gossiper are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.
8傳舌人的言語如同美食,深入人的心腹。
9He also who is lax in his work
Is a brother to him who destroys.
9做工懈怠的,與浪費人為弟兄。
10The name of the LORD is a strong tower;
The righteous runs into it and is safe.
10耶和華的名是堅固臺;義人奔入便得安穩。
11A rich person’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own imagination.
11富足人的財物是他的堅城,在他心想,猶如高牆。
12Before destruction the heart of a person is haughty,
But humility goes before honor.
12敗壞之先,人心驕傲;尊榮以前,必有謙卑。
13One who gives an answer before he hears,
It is foolishness and shame to him.
13未曾聽完先回答的,便是他的愚昧和羞辱。
14The spirit of a person can endure his sickness,
But as for a broken spirit, who can endure it?
14人有疾病,心能忍耐;心靈憂傷,誰能承當呢?
15The mind of the discerning acquires knowledge,
And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
15聰明人的心得知識;智慧人的耳求知識。
16A person’s gift makes room for him
And brings him before great people.
16人的禮物為他開路,引他到高位的人面前。
17The first to plead his case seems right,
Until another comes and examines him.
17先訴情由的,似乎有理;但鄰舍來到,就察出實情。
18The cast lot puts an end to quarrels,
And decides between the mighty ones.
18掣籤能止息爭競,也能解散強勝的人。
19A brother who is offended is harder to be won than a strong city,
And quarrels are like the bars of a citadel.
19弟兄結怨,勸他和好,比取堅固城還難;這樣的爭競如同堅寨的門閂。
20With the fruit of a person’s mouth his stomach will be satisfied;
He will be satisfied with the product of his lips.
20人口中所結的果子,必充滿肚腹;他嘴所出的,必使他飽足。
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.
21生死在舌頭的權下,喜愛它的,必吃它所結的果子。
22He who finds a wife finds a good thing
And obtains favor from the LORD.
22得著賢妻的,是得著好處,也是蒙了耶和華的恩惠。
23A poor person utters pleadings,
But a rich person answers defiantly.
23貧窮人說哀求的話;富足人用威嚇的話回答。
24A person of too many friends comes to ruin,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
24濫交朋友的,自取敗壞;但有一朋友比弟兄更親密。
