Similitudes and Instructions
1Juga ini adalah amsal-amsal Salomo yang dikumpulkan pegawai-pegawai Hizkia, raja Yehuda.
1These also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah, transcribed.
2Kemuliaan Allah ialah merahasiakan sesuatu, tetapi kemuliaan raja-raja ialah menyelidiki sesuatu. 3Seperti tingginya langit dan dalamnya bumi, demikianlah hati raja-raja tidak terduga. 4Sisihkanlah sanga dari perak, maka keluarlah benda yang indah bagi pandai emas. 5Sisihkanlah orang fasik dari hadapan raja, maka kokohlah takhtanya oleh kebenaran. 6Jangan berlagak di hadapan raja, atau berdiri di tempat para pembesar. 7Karena lebih baik orang berkata kepadamu: "Naiklah ke mari," dari pada engkau direndahkan di hadapan orang mulia. Apa matamu lihat,
2It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. 3As the heavens for height and the earth for depth,
So the heart of kings is unsearchable. 4Take away the impurities from the silver,
And there comes out a vessel for the smith; 5Take away the wicked before the king,
And his throne will be established in righteousness. 6Do not boast in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the same place as great people; 7For it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom your eyes have seen.

8jangan terburu-buru kaubuat perkara pengadilan. Karena pada akhirnya apa yang engkau dapat lakukan, kalau sesamamu telah mempermalukan engkau? 9Belalah perkaramu terhadap sesamamu itu, tetapi jangan buka rahasia orang lain, 10supaya jangan orang yang mendengar engkau akan mencemoohkan engkau, dan umpat terhadap engkau akan tidak hilang.
8Do not go out hastily to argue your case;
Otherwise, what will you do in the end,
When your neighbor humiliates you? 9Argue your case with your neighbor,
And do not reveal the secret of another, 10Or one who hears it will put you to shame,
And the evil report about you will not pass away.

11Perkataan yang diucapkan tepat pada waktunya adalah seperti buah apel emas di pinggan perak. 12Teguran orang yang bijak adalah seperti cincin emas dan hiasan kencana untuk telinga yang mendengar. 13Seperti sejuk salju di musim panen, demikianlah pesuruh yang setia bagi orang-orang yang menyuruhnya. Ia menyegarkan hati tuan-tuannya. 14Awan dan angin tanpa hujan, demikianlah orang yang menyombongkan diri dengan hadiah yang tidak pernah diberikannya. 15Dengan kesabaran seorang penguasa dapat diyakinkan dan lidah lembut mematahkan tulang. 16Kalau engkau mendapat madu, makanlah secukupnya, jangan sampai engkau terlalu kenyang dengan itu, lalu memuntahkannya. 17Janganlah kerap kali datang ke rumah sesamamu, supaya jangan ia bosan, lalu membencimu. 18Orang yang bersaksi dusta terhadap sesamanya adalah seperti gada, atau pedang, atau panah yang tajam. 19Kepercayaan kepada pengkhianat di masa kesesakan adalah seperti gigi yang rapuh dan kaki yang goyah. 20Orang yang menyanyikan nyanyian untuk hati yang sedih adalah seperti orang yang menanggalkan baju di musim dingin, dan seperti cuka pada luka. 21Jikalau seterumu lapar, berilah dia makan roti, dan jikalau ia dahaga, berilah dia minum air. 22Karena engkau akan menimbun bara api di atas kepalanya, dan TUHAN akan membalas itu kepadamu. 23Angin utara membawa hujan, bicara secara rahasia muka marah. 24Lebih baik tinggal pada sudut sotoh rumah dari pada diam serumah dengan perempuan yang suka bertengkar. 25Seperti air sejuk bagi jiwa yang dahaga, demikianlah kabar baik dari negeri yang jauh. 26Seperti mata air yang keruh dan sumber yang kotor, demikianlah orang benar yang kuatir di hadapan orang fasik. 27Tidaklah baik makan banyak madu; sebab itu biarlah jarang kata-kata pujianmu. 28Orang yang tak dapat mengendalikan diri adalah seperti kota yang roboh temboknya.
11Like apples of gold in settings of silver,
Is a word spoken at the proper time. 12Like an earring of gold and a jewelry piece of fine gold,
Is a wise person who offers rebukes to a listening ear. 13Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him,
For he refreshes the soul of his masters. 14Like clouds and wind without rain
Is a person who boasts of his gifts falsely. 15Through patience a ruler may be persuaded,
And a gentle tongue breaks bone. 16Have you found honey? Eat only what you need,
So that you do not have it in excess and vomit it. 17Let your foot rarely be in your neighbor’s house,
Or he will become weary of you and hate you. 18Like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow
Is a person who gives false testimony against his neighbor. 19Like a bad tooth and an unsteady foot
Is confidence in a treacherous person in time of trouble. 20Like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on soda,
Is one who sings songs to a troubled heart. 21If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; 22For you will heap burning coals on his head,
And the LORD will reward you. 23The north wind brings rain,
And a gossiping tongue brings an angry face. 24It is better to live on a corner of the roof,
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman. 25Like cold water to a weary soul,
So is good news from a distant land. 26Like a trampled spring and a polluted well,
So is a righteous person who gives way before the wicked. 27It is not good to eat much honey,
Nor is it glory to search out one’s own glory. 28Like a city that is broken into and without walls
So is a person who has no self-control over his spirit.
