箴言 13

1 智慧子听父亲的教训； 亵慢人不听责备。

A WISE son [heareth] his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

2 人因口所结的果子，必享美福； 奸诈人必遭强暴。

A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the treacherous [shall eat] violence.

3 谨守口的，得保生命； 大张嘴的，必致败亡。

He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life: [but] he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

4 懒惰人羡慕，却无所得； 殷勤人必得丰裕。

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

5 义人恨恶谎言； 恶人有臭名，且致惭愧。

A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

6 行为正直的，有公义保守； 犯罪的，被邪恶倾覆。

Righteousness guardeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

7 假作富足的，却一无所有； 装作穷乏的，却广有财物。

There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great wealth.

8 人的资财是他生命的赎价； 穷乏人却听不见威吓的话。

The ransom of a man’s life is his riches: but the poor heareth no threatening.

9 义人的光明亮； 恶人的灯要熄灭。

The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

10 骄傲只启争竞； 听劝言的，却有智慧。

By pride cometh only contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

11 不劳而得之财必然消耗； 勤劳积蓄的，必见加增。

Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall have increase.

12 所盼望的迟延未得，令人心忧； 所愿意的临到，却是生命树。

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

13 藐视训言的，自取灭亡； 敬畏诫命的，必得善报。

Whoso despiseth the word bringeth destruction on himself: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

14 智慧人的法则是生命的泉源， 可以使人离开死亡的网罗。

The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

15 美好的聪明使人蒙恩； 奸诈人的道路崎岖难行。

Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of the treacherous is rugged.

16 凡通达人都凭知识行事； 愚昧人张扬自己的愚昧。

Every prudent man worketh with knowledge: but a fool spreadeth out folly.

17 奸恶的使者必陷在祸患里； 忠信的使臣乃医人的良药。

A wicked messenger falleth into evil: but a faithful ambassador is health.

18 弃绝管教的，必致贫受辱； 领受责备的，必得尊荣。

Poverty and shame [shall be to] him that refuseth correction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

19 所欲的成就，心觉甘甜； 远离恶事，为愚昧人所憎恶。

The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.

20 与智慧人同行的，必得智慧； 和愚昧人作伴的，必受亏损。

Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise: but the companion of fools shall smart for it.

21 祸患追赶罪人； 义人必得善报。

Evil pursueth sinners: but the righteous shall be recompensed with good.

22 善人给子孙遗留产业； 罪人为义人积存资财。

A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children; and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.

23 穷人耕种多得粮食， 但因不义，有消灭的。

Much food [is in] the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed by reason of injustice.

24 不忍用杖打儿子的，是恨恶他； 疼爱儿子的，随时管教。

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

25 义人吃得饱足； 恶人肚腹缺粮。

The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
