箴26

箴言-Proverbs 第 26 章

26:1	夏天落雪，收割时下雨，都不相宜，照样，愚昧人得尊荣也不相宜。 Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool.
26:2	麻雀鼓翅，燕子翻飞，照样，无故的咒诅也不会临到。 Like the sparrow in its fluttering, like the swallow in its flying, So a curse without cause does not alight.
26:3	鞭子是为打马，辔头是为勒驴；刑杖是为打愚昧人的背。 A whip for the horse! A bridle for the donkey! And a rod for the back of fools!
26:4	不要照愚昧人的愚妄话回答他，免得你也与他一样。 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Lest you also be like him.
26:5	要照愚昧人的愚妄话回答他，免得他自以为有智慧。 Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own eyes.
26:6	藉愚昧人的手传信的，是砍断自己的脚，自受损害。 He who sends a message by the hand of a fool Cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.
26:7	瘸子的脚空悬无用，箴言在愚昧人的口中也是如此。 Like the legs of the lame which hang down, So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
26:8	将尊荣给愚昧人的，好像人把石子包在甩石的机弦里。 Like one who binds a stone in a sling, So is he who gives honor to a fool.
26:9	箴言在愚昧人的口中，就像荆棘刺入醉汉的手。 Like a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard, So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
26:10	雇愚昧人的，或雇过路人的，就像射伤众人的弓箭手。 Like an archer who wounds everyone, So is he who hires a fool or who hires those who pass by.
26:11	愚昧人重复愚妄事，就像狗转过来吃自己所吐的。 Like a dog that returns to its vomit Is a fool who repeats his folly.
26:12	你见过自以为有智慧的人么？愚昧人比他更有指望。 Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
26:13	懒惰人说，路上有猛狮，街上有壮狮！ The sluggard says, There is a roaring lion on the way; A lion is in the streets!
26:14	门在枢纽上转动，懒惰人在床上也是如此。 As the door turns upon its hinges, So does the sluggard upon his bed.
26:15	懒惰人把手放在盘子里，就是向口撤回，也以为劳乏。 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; He gets weary by bringing it to his mouth again.
26:16	懒惰人看自己比七个善于应对的人更有智慧。 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can answer discreetly.
26:17	过路的人干涉与自己无关的纷争，就像人揪狗的耳朵。 He who passes by and meddles with strife that does not belong to him, Is like one who takes a dog by the ears.
26:18	人欺哄邻舍，却说，我岂不是戏耍么？ Like a madman who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death,
26:19	他就像疯狂的人抛掷火把、利箭与死亡。 So is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, Was I not joking?
26:20	缺了柴，火就熄灭；没有传闲话的人，争论便止息。 For lack of wood the fire goes out, And where there is no whisperer, contention quiets down.
26:21	好纷争的人煽动争竞，就如余烬加炭，火上加柴一样。 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
26:22	传闲话之人的言语如同美食，进入人的深处。 The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts of the inner being.
26:23	火热的嘴，奸恶的心，好像包了银渣的瓦器。 Burning lips and a wicked heart Are like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
26:24	怨恨人的，用嘴掩饰，心里却存着诡诈， He who hates disguises it with his lips, But he lays up deceit within him;
26:25	他的言语虽然动听，你不可信他，因为他心中有七样可憎恶的。 When he speaks graciously, do not believe him; For there are seven abominations in his heart;
26:26	他虽用诡诈遮掩自己的怨恨，他的邪恶必在会中显露。 Though his hatred covers itself with guile, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
26:27	挖陷坑的，自己必掉在其中；辊石头的，石头必反辊在他身上。 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
26:28	虚谎的舌恨自己所压伤的人，谄媚的口造成毁坏的事。 A lying tongue hates those it crushes, And a flattering mouth works ruin.
