箴言第31章 |
|
1 利母益王之母，訓王以箴言，曰， |
|
2 我之愛子，我語汝，我昔許願而生汝，宜聽我言。 |
|
3 維彼淫婦，戕害王躬，耗王精力，汝毋呢之。 |
|
4 利母益乎，清酒醇醪，王毋過飲， |
|
5 恐忘律例，枉法以害貧。 |
|
6 清酒醇醪，以飲將死之人，罹憂之輩， |
|
7 使忘其貧，不憶其苦。 |
|
8 喑者代爲口，危者伸其寃。 |
|
9 秉公義，救貧乏。 |
|
10 孰得賢妻，價貴琅玕。 |
|
11 其夫恃之，無所匱乏。 |
|
12 雖至畢生，有益無損， |
|
13 得綿枲，樂擘績， |
|
14 譬彼艚舶，轉運食物，來自遠方， |
|
15 未及黎明，賢妻夙興，供僕之食，課婢之工， |
|
16 見良田則購之，出其贏餘，以築葡萄園， |
|
17 勁腰健臂， |
|
18 操作獲利，篝燈永夜， |
|
19 執籰紡績， |
|
20 賙濟貧乏， |
|
21 家人重衣，不畏雨雪， |
|
22 手製寢衣，自服赤綿。 |
|
23 夫坐公庭，名著長老之中。 |
|
24 婦作布售之於巿，作紳售之於商賈， |
|
25 所製之服，華美縝密，不歎無衣於後日。 |
|
26 所言者明哲之詞，仁愛之語， |
|
27 勤家政，不素餐。 |
|
28 夫善之，子德之， |
|
29 世之娶妻而賢者甚多，惟此婦爲冠。 |
|
30 其有丰采殊色者，盡屬於虛，不如寅畏耶和華者，必得讚美， |
|
31 所行結善果，在民間有令聞焉。 |
ProverbsChapter 31 |
|
1 THE words of Moael, a king and prophet, which his mother taught him, saying, |
|
2 Oh my son! Oh the son of my womb! Oh the son of my vows! |
|
3 Give not your strength to women, nor your ways to the extravagance of kings. |
|
4 Of kings, O Moael, be careful of kings who drink wine; and of princes who drink strong drink, |
|
5 Lest you drink and forget the law and forsake the judgment of the afflicted. |
|
6 Let strong drink be given to those who mourn, and wine to those who are of heavy heart, |
|
7 That they may drink, and forget their sorrows, and remember their miseries no more. |
|
8 Open your mouth with words of truth, and judge all the sons of the wicked. |
|
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. |
|
10 Who can find a diligent woman? For her price is far above rubies. |
|
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts in her, and her food supplies never diminish. |
|
12 She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. |
|
13 She seeks wool and linen, and works willingly with her hands. |
|
14 She is like the merchant's ship, she brings her merchandise from afar. |
|
15 She rises also while it is yet night, and gives food to her household and work to her maids. |
|
16 She considers a field, and buys it: with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. |
|
17 She girds her loins with strength, and strengthens her arms. |
|
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good; her lamp does not go out all night. |
|
19 She stretches out her arms diligently, and puts her hands to the spindle. |
|
20 She stretches out her hands to the poor; yea, she stretches forth her arms to the needy. |
|
21 The members of her household are not afraid of snow; for all of them are clothed with scarlet. |
|
22 She makes herself a covering of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. |
|
23 Her husband is known in cities, when he sits among the elders of the land. |
|
24 She makes fine linen, and sells it; and delivers girdles to the merchants. |
|
25 Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. |
|
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom; and upon her tongue is the law of kindness. |
|
27 The ways of her household are above reproach, and she does not eat the bread of idleness. |
|
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; and her husband also praises her. |
|
29 Many daughters have become rich, but you have excelled them all. |
|
30 Comeliness is deceitful and beauty is vain; but a woman who reverences the LORD shall be praised. |
|
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gate. |
