Proverbs 15
1 By a soft answer wrath is turned away, but a bitter word is a cause of angry feelings.
回答柔和，使怒消退； 言语暴戾，触动怒气。
2 Knowledge is dropping from the tongue of the wise; but from the mouth of the foolish comes a stream of foolish words.
智慧人的舌善发知识； 愚昧人的口吐出愚昧。
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
耶和华的眼目无处不在； 恶人善人，他都鉴察。
4 A comforting tongue is a tree of life, but a twisted tongue is a crushing of the spirit.
温良的舌是生命树； 乖谬的嘴使人心碎。
5 A foolish man puts no value on his father's training; but he who has respect for teaching has good sense.
愚妄人藐视父亲的管教； 领受责备的，得着见识。
6 In the house of the upright man there is a great store of wealth; but in the profits of the sinner there is trouble.
义人家中多有财宝； 恶人得利反受扰害。
7 The lips of the wise keep knowledge, but the heart of the foolish man is not right.
智慧人的嘴播扬知识； 愚昧人的心并不如此。
8 The offering of the evil-doer is disgusting to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright man is his delight.
恶人献祭，为耶和华所憎恶； 正直人祈祷，为他所喜悦。
9 The way of the evil-doer is disgusting to the Lord, but he who goes after righteousness is dear to him.
恶人的道路，为耶和华所憎恶； 追求公义的，为他所喜爱。
10 There is bitter punishment for him who is turned from the way; and death will be the fate of the hater of teaching.
舍弃正路的，必受严刑； 恨恶责备的，必致死亡。
11 Before the Lord are the underworld and destruction: how much more, then, the hearts of the children of men! (Sheol h7585)
阴间和灭亡尚在耶和华眼前， 何况世人的心呢？ (Sheol h7585)
12 The hater of authority has no love for teaching: he will not go to the wise.
亵慢人不爱受责备； 他也不就近智慧人。
13 A glad heart makes a shining face, but by the sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
心中喜乐，面带笑容； 心里忧愁，灵被损伤。
14 The heart of the man of good sense goes in search of knowledge, but foolish things are the food of the unwise.
聪明人心求知识； 愚昧人口吃愚昧。
15 All the days of the troubled are evil; but he whose heart is glad has an unending feast.
困苦人的日子都是愁苦； 心中欢畅的，常享丰筵。
16 Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great wealth together with trouble.
少有财宝，敬畏耶和华， 强如多有财宝，烦乱不安。
17 Better is a simple meal where love is, than a fat ox and hate with it.
吃素菜，彼此相爱， 强如吃肥牛，彼此相恨。
18 An angry man makes men come to blows, but he who is slow to get angry puts an end to fighting.
暴怒的人挑启争端； 忍怒的人止息纷争。
19 Thorns are round the way of the hater of work; but the road of the hard worker becomes a highway.
懒惰人的道像荆棘的篱笆； 正直人的路是平坦的大道。
20 A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man has no respect for his mother.
智慧子使父亲喜乐； 愚昧人藐视母亲。
21 Foolish behaviour is joy to the unwise; but a man of good sense makes his way straight.
无知的人以愚妄为乐； 聪明的人按正直而行。
22 Where there are no wise suggestions, purposes come to nothing; but by a number of wise guides they are made certain.
不先商议，所谋无效； 谋士众多，所谋乃成。
23 A man has joy in the answer of his mouth: and a word at the right time, how good it is!
口善应对，自觉喜乐； 话合其时，何等美好。
智慧人从生命的道上升， 使他远离在下的阴间。 (Sheol h7585)
25 The house of the man of pride will be uprooted by the Lord, but he will make safe the heritage of the widow.
耶和华必拆毁骄傲人的家， 却要立定寡妇的地界。
26 Evil designs are disgusting to the Lord, but the words of the clean-hearted are pleasing.
恶谋为耶和华所憎恶； 良言乃为纯净。
27 He whose desires are fixed on profit is a cause of trouble to his family; but he who has no desire for offerings will have life.
贪恋财利的，扰害己家； 恨恶贿赂的，必得存活。
28 The heart of the upright gives thought to his answer; but from the mouth of the evil-doer comes a stream of evil things.
义人的心，思量如何回答； 恶人的口吐出恶言。
29 The Lord is far from sinners, but his ear is open to the prayer of the upright.
耶和华远离恶人， 却听义人的祷告。
30 The light of the eyes is a joy to the heart, and good news makes the bones fat.
眼有光，使心喜乐； 好信息，使骨滋润。
31 The man whose ear is open to the teaching of life will have his place among the wise.
听从生命责备的， 必常在智慧人中。
32 He who will not be controlled by training has no respect for his soul, but he who gives ear to teaching will get wisdom.
弃绝管教的，轻看自己的生命； 听从责备的，却得智慧。
33 The fear of the Lord is the teaching of wisdom; and a low opinion of oneself goes before honour.
敬畏耶和华是智慧的训诲； 尊荣以前，必有谦卑。
