箴19

箴言-Proverbs 第 19 章

19:1	行為純全的貧窮人，勝過嘴唇乖謬的愚昧人。 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
19:2	人無知識乃為不善，腳步急快的，難免犯罪。 Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge, And he who makes haste with his feet sins.
19:3	人的愚昧傾敗他的道路，他的心卻惱怒耶和華。 The foolishness of a man subverts his way, And his heart is indignant toward Jehovah.
19:4	財物使朋友增多，但窮人連朋友也離開。 Wealth adds many friends, But the poor man is separated from his friend.
19:5	作假見證的必不免受罰，吐出謊言的必不能逃脫。 A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who utters lies will not escape.
19:6	慷慨的，有多人求他的恩情；愛送禮的，人都為他的朋友。 Many will entreat the favor of the generous man, And every man is a friend to one who gives gifts.
19:7	貧窮人，弟兄都恨他；何況他的朋友，更遠離他！他雖用言語追隨，他們卻不留下。 All the brothers of the poor man hate him; How much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but they are not there.
19:8	得著智慧之心的，愛惜己命；保守聰明的，必得好處。 He who acquires sense loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good.
19:9	作假見證的，不免受罰；吐出謊言的，必然滅亡。 A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who utters lies will perish.
19:10	愚昧人宴樂度日是不合宜的；何況仆人管轄官長呢？ Delicate living is not fitting for a fool; Much less for a servant to rule over princes.
19:11	人有明智就不輕易發怒；不追究人的過失，便是自己的榮耀。 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, And it is his glory to overlook a transgression.
19:12	王的忿怒好像獅子吼叫，他的恩寵卻如草上的甘露。 The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, But his favor is like dew upon the grass.
19:13	愚昧的兒子是父親的禍患，妻子的爭吵如雨連連滴漏。 A foolish son is the ruin of his father, And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.
19:14	房屋錢財是祖宗所遺留的，惟有賢慧的妻子是耶和華所賜的。 House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from Jehovah.
19:15	懶惰使人沉睡，懈怠的人必受饑餓。 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, And the idle soul will suffer hunger.
19:16	謹守誡命的，保全己命；輕忽己路的，必致死亡。 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul; He who is careless of his ways will die.
19:17	憐憫窮人的，就是借給耶和華；他的善行，耶和華必償還。 He who has pity upon a poor man lends to Jehovah, And He will repay him for his good deed.
19:18	管教你的兒子，他就有指望；但你不可存心毀壞他。 Discipline your son, for there is hope; But do not set your heart on destroying him.
19:19	暴怒的人必受刑罰；你若救他，必須再救。 A man of great wrath will bear the penalty; For if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again.
19:20	你要聽勸戒，受訓誨，使你終久有智慧。 Listen to counsel, and receive instruction, That you may be wise at the end of your days.
19:21	人心多有計謀，惟有耶和華的籌算才能立定。 There are many devices in a man's heart, But it is the counsel of Jehovah that will stand.
19:22	人的仁慈令人羨慕，窮人強如說謊的人。 What is desirable in a man is his kindness, And a poor man is better than a liar.
19:23	敬畏耶和華，使人得生命；他必安居知足，不遭禍患。 The fear of Jehovah leads to life, And he who has it will lodge in contentment; He will not be visited with evil.
19:24	懶惰人把手放在盤子裏，就是向口撤回也不肯。 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, And will not even bring it back to his mouth.
19:25	鞭打褻慢人，愚蒙人就學會靈巧；責備聰明人，他就明白知識。 Strike a scorner, and the simple will learn prudence; And reprove one who has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
19:26	虐待父親、攆出母親的，是貽羞致辱之子。 He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother Is a son that causes shame and brings reproach.
19:27	我兒，你若不聽訓誨，就必偏離知識的言語。 Cease listening, my son, to instruction, And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
19:28	卑劣的見證人戲笑公平，惡人的口吞下罪孽。 A worthless witness mocks justice, And the mouth of the wicked swallows up iniquity.
19:29	刑罰是為褻慢人豫備的，鞭打是為愚昧人的背豫備的。 Judgments are prepared for scorners, And blows for the back of fools.
