箴言第26章 |
|
1 夏時雨雪，秋時霪雨，愚人居尊位，俱非所宜。 |
|
2 徒以言語咒詛者，必不降災，猶燕雀翱翔而不加害。 |
|
3 欲治馬驢，維鞭與勒，欲治愚人，維杖與箠。 |
|
4 維爾居恒，勿卽愚人之意請詰愚人，恐人謂爾與彼無異，有時則可，恐彼自以爲智。 |
|
5 |
|
6 以重託畀愚人，猶自刖其足而身受其害。 |
|
7 跛者之足不能實踐，愚人述箴言亦若是。 |
|
8 愚昧之人，被以尊榮，如以韞櫝之玉，委於瓦礫。 |
|
9 愚人述箴言，猶醉人執荊棘， |
|
10 造萬物之主，必使愚者受咎，惡者取戾。 |
|
11 犬轉食其所吐，愚人復蹈其故轍。 |
|
12 愚昧之流，猶可望其改過，惟自智者，終無可望。 |
|
13 怠者諉言，出門必遇猛獅，行衢必遇牡獅。 |
|
14 怠者輾轉於牀，如門在樞。 |
|
15 惰者卽染指於盂，取饌入口，猶憚其難。 |
|
16 惰者自以爲智，視善應對之七人，猶不若也。 |
|
17 他人爭鬪，而我與之共怒，如途中遇犬，而執其耳。 |
|
18 人欺鄰里，謂與之玩謔，無異狂人，發火知以取樂。 |
|
19 |
|
20 抽薪可以熄火，無後言可以息爭。 |
|
21 加炭添薪，火勢愈熾，爭人益爭亦若是。 |
|
22 陰訐人非，人所樂聽，如食甘旨，飫其口腹。 |
|
23 外加温語，內懷惡念，猶瓦器飾以白金。 |
|
24 維彼敵人，心所藏惟詐，口所言惟偽。 |
|
25 其言雖善，爾毋信之，其心所藏可惡者非一端。 |
|
26 匿怨而友其人，後在會中，其惡昭彰。 |
|
27 彼掘坎阱，必陷其中，移石上岡，反壓其下。 |
|
28 誑者受人扑責，銜憾殊深，厥口諂諛，實致敗亡。 |
ProverbsChapter 26 |
|
1 LIKE snow in summer and like rain in harvest, so honor is not seemly for a fool. |
|
2 Like sparrows wandering and like birds flying in the air, so the curse that is causeless shall be driven away. |
|
3 A whip for the horse, a goad for the ass, and a rod for the back of a fool. |
|
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be also like him. |
|
5 But answer a fool according to your wisdom, lest he think in himself that he is wise. |
|
6 He who sends a message by the hand of a fool drinks iniquity from under his own feet. |
|
7 As a lame man who cannot walk, so is a parable in the mouth of a fool. |
|
8 Like a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool. |
|
9 Thorns spring up in the hand of a drunkard, and folly in the mouth of a foot. |
|
10 The body of a fool is greatly afflicted, and a drunkard thinks that he can cross a sea. |
|
11 As a dog that returns to his vomit, so is a fool that misbehaves in his folly. |
|
12 If you should see a man wise in his own eyes, a fool is much better than he. |
|
13 The sluggard says, when he is sent out, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. |
|
14 As a door turns upon its hinges, so does the slothful turn on his bed. |
|
15 The slothful hides his hands in his bosom; it grieves him to bring them again to his mouth. |
|
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men with good reasoning. |
|
17 He who meddles with a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a dog by the ears. |
|
18 Like haughty men who utter words sharp and deadly as arrows, |
|
19 So is the man who deceives his neighbor; when he is caught, he says, I was merely jesting. |
|
20 When there is no wood, the fire goes out; and where there is no troublesome person, the strife ceases. |
|
21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a malicious person to kindle strife. |
|
22 The words of the malicious stir up trouble; they go down into the innermost parts of the heart. |
|
23 Like silver dross which sticks to an earthen pot, so are enraged lips and an evil heart. |
|
24 He who hates is known by his own speech; in his heart he entertains deceit; |
|
25 Though he speaks in a gentle tone, believe him not; for there are seven abominations in his heart. |
|
26 He who conceals hatred in his heart, his wickedness shall be revealed in the congregation. |
|
27 He who digs a pit shall fall into it; and he who rolls a stone, it will return upon him. |
|
28 A lying tongue hates the truth; and a troublesome mouth stirs up a quarrel. |
