箴言-Proverbs 第 11 章

11:1詭詐的天平為耶和華所憎惡；足重的法碼為祂所喜悅。
A false balance is an abomination to Jehovah, But a full weight is His delight.
11:2驕傲來，羞恥也來；謙卑人卻有智慧。
When pride comes, then comes dishonor; But wisdom is with the humble.
11:3正直人的純全必引導自己；奸詐人的乖僻必毀滅自己。
The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perverseness of the treacherous will destroy them.
11:4忿怒的日子貲財無益；惟有公義能救人脫離死亡。
Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.
11:5完全人的義必使他的道路平直；但惡人必因自己的惡跌倒。
The righteousness of the perfect man will make his way straight, But the wicked man will fall by his own wickedness.
11:6正直人的義必拯救自己；奸詐人必陷在自己的貪欲中。
The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the treacherous will be taken in their own craving.
11:7惡人一死，他的指望必滅絕；罪人的盼望也必滅沒。
When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish; And the hope of the strong perishes.
11:8義人得拯救脫離患難，有惡人來代替他。
The righteous man is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked man comes into it instead of him.
11:9不虔敬的人用口敗壞鄰舍；義人卻因知識得救。
With his mouth the profane man destroys his neighbor, But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.
11:10義人得福，合城歡欣；惡人滅亡，人都歡呼。
When it goes well with the righteous, the city exults; And when the wicked perish, there is a ringing shout.
11:11因正直人祝福，城得高舉；因邪惡人的口，城就傾覆。
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, But it is torn down by the mouth of the wicked.
11:12藐視鄰舍的乃為無知，聰明人卻靜默不言。
He who despises his neighbor lacks sense, But a man of understanding keeps silent.
11:13往來搬弄是非的，泄漏秘密；靈裏忠信的，遮隱事情。
He who goes about as a gossip reveals secrets, But he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter.
11:14無智謀，民就敗落；謀士多，民就安全。
Where no sound counsel is, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
11:15為生人作保的，必受虧損；恨惡擔保的，卻得安穩。
He who is surety for a stranger will surely be troubled, But he who hates giving pledges is secure.
11:16恩德的婦女取得尊榮；強暴的男子取得貲財。
A gracious woman lays hold of honor, And violent men lay hold of riches.
11:17仁慈的人賞報己魂；殘忍的人擾害己身。
The merciful man rewards his own soul, But the cruel troubles his own flesh.
11:18惡人賺得虛謊的工價；播種公義的，得真實的酬報。
The wicked man earns deceitful wages, But he who sows righteousness gets a true reward.
11:19恒心為義的，必得生命；追求邪惡的，必致死亡。
He who is steadfast in righteousness shall attain to life, And he who pursues evil advances to his own death.
11:20心中乖僻的，為耶和華所憎惡；行徑完全的，為祂所喜悅。
Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah, But those who are perfect in their way are His delight.
11:21你要確信，惡人必不免受罰；義人的後裔必得拯救。
Be assured: The evil man will not go unpunished; But the seed of the righteous will be delivered.
11:22婦女美貌而無見識，如同金環戴在豬鼻上。
Like a nose-ring of gold in a pig's snout, So is a beautiful woman who is without discretion.
11:23義人的願望盡是美好；惡人的指望遭致忿怒。
The desire of the righteous is only good, But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
11:24有人施散，卻更增添；有人吝惜過度，反致窮乏。
There is one who scatters and increases yet more, And there is one who withholds what is appropriate but ends up only in want.
11:25好施舍的，必得豐裕；滋潤人的，必得滋潤。
The blessing soul will prosper, And he who waters will also be watered himself.
11:26屯積糧穀的，民必咒詛他；出賣糧穀的，祝福必臨到他頭上。
As for him who withholds grain, the people will curse him; But blessing will be upon the head of him who sells it.
11:27殷切求善的，就求得恩惠；惟獨求惡的，惡必臨到他身。
He who diligently seeks good seeks favor; But as for him who searches after evil, it will come to him.
11:28倚仗自己財物的必敗落；但義人必發旺如青葉。
He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like the green leaf.
11:29擾害己家的，必承受清風；愚妄人必作心中有智慧之人的仆人。
He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind, And a fool will be servant to the wise in heart.
11:30義人所結的果子是生命樹；有智慧的，必能得人。
The fruit of the righteous man is a tree of life, And he who is wise wins souls.
11:31義人在世尚且受報，惡人和罪人更是如此！
If the righteous man will be recompensed on the earth, How much more the wicked man and the sinner!
