箴24

箴言-Proverbs 第 24 章

24:1	你不要嫉妒惡人，也不要想望與他們相處； Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them;
24:2	因為他們的心籌畫強暴，他們的口談論奸惡。 For their heart meditates violence, And their lips talk of mischief.
24:3	房屋憑智慧建造，又靠聰明立穩； Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established,
24:4	其房間因知識充滿各樣寶貴美好的財物。 And by knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.
24:5	智慧人有能力，有知識的人加添能力。 A wise man is strong, And a man of knowledge increases power.
24:6	你去打仗要憑智謀，謀士眾多便可得勝。 For by sound counsel you can wage your war, And in the multitude of counselors there is victory.
24:7	智慧極高，非愚妄人所能及，所以他在城門內不敢開口。 Wisdom is too high for a fool; He does not open his mouth in the gate.
24:8	設計作惡的，必稱為陰險之人。 He who devises to do evil, Men will call him a mischief-maker.
24:9	愚妄人的計謀乃是罪惡，褻慢人為人所憎惡。 The devising of folly is sin, And the scorner is an abomination to men.
24:10	你在患難之日若膽怯，你的力量就有限。 If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is limited.
24:11	人被拉到死地，你要解救；人蹣跚走向被殺之地，你須攔阻。 Deliver those who are being taken away to death, And those who are staggering to be slain, oh, hold back!
24:12	你若說，看哪，這事我們未曾知道－那衡量人心的豈不明白麼？保守你性命的豈不知道麼？祂豈不按各人所行的報應各人麼？ If you say, Look, we did not know this-Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? And He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to every man according to his work?
24:13	我兒，你要吃蜜，因為這是好的；吃蜂房下滴的蜜，在你上膛是甘甜的； My son, eat honey, for it is good, And the drippings from the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste:
24:14	要知道智慧之於你的魂，也是如此。你若找著，末後必有好結局，你的指望也不至斷絕。 Know that wisdom is such for your soul; If you find it , then there will be a latter end, And your hope will not be cut off.
24:15	惡人哪，不要埋伏攻擊義人的住處，不要毀壞他安居之所； Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous man; Do not destroy his resting place;
24:16	因為義人雖七次跌倒，仍必興起，惡人卻被禍患傾覆。 For a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again, But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
24:17	你仇敵跌倒，你不要喜樂；他絆跌，你心不要快樂； Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart exult when he is overthrown;
24:18	恐怕耶和華看見就不喜悅，將祂怒氣從仇敵身上轉開。 Lest Jehovah see it, and it displease Him, And He turn away His anger from him.
24:19	不要因作惡的人忿忿不平，也不要嫉妒惡人； Do not be incensed because of evildoers; Do not be envious of the wicked;
24:20	因為惡人必無前途；惡人的燈必要熄滅。 For there will be no future for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out.
24:21	我兒，你要敬畏耶和華與君王，不要與反覆無常的人結交； My son, fear Jehovah and the king, And do not associate with those who are given to change;
24:22	因為他們的災難必忽然而起，耶和華與君王所施行的毀滅，誰能知道呢？ For their calamity will rise suddenly, And who knows the misfortune of both of them?
24:23	以下也是智慧人的箴言：審判時看人情麵是不好的。 These also are sayings of the wise: It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24:24	對惡人說，你是義人，說這話的人必受眾民咒詛，為列邦所憎惡。 He who says to the wicked man, You are righteous, Peoples will curse him; nations will abhor him.
24:25	責備惡人的必得喜悅，美好的福也必臨到他們。 But those who rebuke the wicked man will have delight, And a good blessing will come upon them.
24:26	應對誠實的，猶如與人親嘴。 He who gives an honest answer Kisses the lips.
24:27	你要在外頭豫備你的工作，在田間為自己豫備妥當，然後建造房屋。 Prepare your work outside, And make it ready for yourself in the field, And afterward build your house.
24:28	不可無故作見證陷害鄰舍，也不可用嘴欺騙人。 Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause, And do not deceive with your lips.
24:29	不可說，人怎樣待我，我也怎樣待他；我必照人所行的回報他。 Do not say, I will do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work.
24:30	我經過懶惰人的田地、無知人的葡萄園， I passed by the field of the sluggard, And by the vineyard of the man lacking sense;
24:31	看哪，到處長滿了荊棘，刺草遮蓋了田麵，石牆也坍塌了。 And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles, And its stone wall was broken down.
24:32	我看見就留心思想；我看著就領受訓誨： When I looked, I considered it; I saw it and received instruction:
24:33	再睡片時，打盹片時，抱著手躺臥片時， A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,
24:34	你的貧窮就必如強盜來臨，你的缺乏就必如拿兵器的人來到。 And your poverty will come upon you like a robber, And your want, like an armed man.
