On Life and Conduct
1Nama baik lebih berharga dari pada kekayaan besar, dikasihi orang lebih baik dari pada perak dan emas. 2Orang kaya dan orang miskin bertemu; yang membuat mereka semua ialah TUHAN. 3Kalau orang bijak melihat malapetaka, bersembunyilah ia, tetapi orang yang tak berpengalaman berjalan terus, lalu kena celaka. 4Ganjaran kerendahan hati dan takut akan TUHAN adalah kekayaan, kehormatan dan kehidupan. 5Duri dan perangkap ada di jalan orang yang serong hatinya; siapa ingin memelihara diri menjauhi orang itu. 6Didiklah orang muda menurut jalan yang patut baginya, maka pada masa tuanyapun ia tidak akan menyimpang dari pada jalan itu. 7Orang kaya menguasai orang miskin, yang berhutang menjadi budak dari yang menghutangi. 8Orang yang menabur kecurangan akan menuai bencana, dan tongkat amarahnya akan habis binasa. 9Orang yang baik hati akan diberkati, karena ia membagi rezekinya dengan si miskin. 10Usirlah si pencemooh, maka lenyaplah pertengkaran, dan akan berhentilah perbantahan dan cemooh. 11Orang yang mencintai kesucian hati dan yang manis bicaranya menjadi sahabat raja. 12Mata TUHAN menjaga pengetahuan, tetapi Ia membatalkan perkataan si pengkhianat. 13Si pemalas berkata: "Ada singa di luar, aku akan dibunuh di tengah jalan." 14Mulut perempuan jalang adalah lobang yang dalam; orang yang dimurkai TUHAN akan terperosok ke dalamnya. 15Kebodohan melekat pada hati orang muda, tetapi tongkat didikan akan mengusir itu dari padanya. 16Orang yang menindas orang lemah untuk menguntungkan diri atau memberi hadiah kepada orang kaya, hanya merugikan diri saja.
1A good name is to be more desired than great wealth;
Favor is better than silver and gold. 2The rich and the poor have a common bond,
The LORD is the Maker of them all. 3A prudent person sees evil and hides himself,
But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty. 4The reward of humility and the fear of the LORD
Are riches, honor, and life. 5Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
One who guards himself will be far from them. 6Train up a child in the way he should go,
Even when he grows older he will not abandon it. 7The rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower becomes the lender’s slave. 8One who sows injustice will reap disaster,
And the rod of his fury will perish. 9One who is generous will be blessed,
Because he gives some of his food to the poor. 10Drive out the scoffer, and strife will leave,
Even quarreling and dishonor will cease. 11One who loves purity of heart
And whose speech is gracious, the king is his friend. 12The eyes of the LORD protect knowledge,
But He overthrows the words of the treacherous person. 13The lazy one says, “There is a lion outside;
I will be killed in the streets!” 14The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit;
He who is cursed of the LORD will fall into it. 15Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
The rod of discipline will remove it far from him. 16One who oppresses the poor to make more for himself,
Or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.

17Pasanglah telingamu dan dengarkanlah amsal-amsal orang bijak, berilah perhatian kepada pengetahuanku. 18Karena menyimpannya dalam hati akan menyenangkan bagimu, bila semuanya itu tersedia pada bibirmu. 19Supaya engkau menaruh kepercayaanmu kepada TUHAN, aku mengajarkannya kepadamu sekarang, ya kepadamu. 20Bukankah aku telah menulisnya kepadamu dulu dengan nasihat dan pengetahuan, 21untuk mengajarkan kepadamu apa yang benar dan sungguh, supaya engkau dapat memberikan jawaban yang tepat kepada yang menyuruh engkau.
17Extend your ear and hear the words of the wise,
And apply your mind to my knowledge; 18For it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,
So that they may be ready on your lips. 19So that your trust may be in the LORD,
I have taught you today, you indeed. 20Have I not written to you excellent things
Of counsels and knowledge, 21To make you know the certainty of the words of truth,
So that you may correctly answer him who sent you?

22Janganlah merampasi orang lemah, karena ia lemah, dan janganlah menginjak-injak orang yang berkesusahan di pintu gerbang. 23Sebab TUHAN membela perkara mereka, dan mengambil nyawa orang yang merampasi mereka.
22Do not rob the poor because he is poor,
Nor crush the needy at the gate; 23For the LORD will plead their case
And take the life of those who rob them.

24Jangan berteman dengan orang yang lekas gusar, jangan bergaul dengan seorang pemarah, 25supaya engkau jangan menjadi biasa dengan tingkah lakunya dan memasang jerat bagi dirimu sendiri.
24Do not make friends with a person given to anger,
Or go with a hot-tempered person, 25Or you will learn his ways
And find a snare for yourself.

26Jangan engkau termasuk orang yang membuat persetujuan, dan yang menjadi penanggung hutang. 27Mengapa orang akan mengambil tempat tidurmu dari bawahmu, bila engkau tidak mempunyai apa-apa untuk membayar kembali?
26Do not be among those who shake hands,
Among those who become guarantors for debts. 27If you have nothing with which to repay,
Why should he take your bed from under you?

28Jangan engkau memindahkan batas tanah yang lama, yang ditetapkan oleh nenek moyangmu.
28Do not move the ancient boundary
Which your fathers have set.
Which your fathers have set.
29Pernahkah engkau melihat orang yang cakap dalam pekerjaannya ? Di hadapan raja-raja ia akan berdiri, bukan di hadapan orang-orang yang hina.
29Do you see a person skilled in his work?
He will stand before kings;
He will not stand before obscure people.
He will stand before kings;
He will not stand before obscure people.
