Proverbs 12
1 If you love knowledge, you will love discipline. Anyone who hates being corrected is stupid!
訓誨を愛する者は知識を愛す 懲戒を惡むものは畜のごとし
2 The Lord blesses the good, but he condemns anyone with evil schemes.
善人はヱホバの恩寵をうけ 惡き謀略を設くる人はヱホバに罰せらる
3 Wickedness doesn't provide security, but those who live right are deeply rooted and cannot be moved.
人は惡をもて堅く立ことあたはず 義人の根は動くことなし
4 A good wife is a crown for her husband, but one who brings shame is like rot in his bones.
賢き婦はその夫の冠弁なり 辱をきたらする婦は夫をしてその骨に腐あるが如くならしむ
5 Good people make plans that are fair, but the advice of the wicked is deceptive.
義者のおもひは直し 惡者の計るところは虚偽なり
6 The words of the wicked are like a violent ambush, but those of honest people save them.
惡者の言は人の血を流さんとて伺ふ されど直者の口は人を救ふなり
7 The wicked are destroyed, and they're gone, but the family of the good stands firm.
惡者はたふされて無ものとならん されど義者の家は立べし
8 People are appreciated for talking sense, but those with perverted minds are despised.
人はその聰明にしたがひて譽られ 心の悖れる者は藐めらる
9 Better to be a humble man serving himself than a boastful man who has nothing to eat.
卑賤してしもべある者は自らたかぶりて食に乏き者に愈る
10 Good people look after their animals, but the care given by wicked is really cruelty.
義者はその畜の生命を顧みる されど惡者は殘忍をもてその憐憫とす
11 If you cultivate the land you'll have plenty of food, but if you chase after worthless things you're stupid.
おのれの田地を耕すものは食にあく 放蕩なる人にしたがふ者は智慧なし
12 Wicked people long for ill-gotten gains, but good people are productive themselves.
惡者はあしき人の獲たる物をうらやみ 義者の根は芽をいだす
13 The wicked trap themselves by their own sinful words, but good people escape trouble.
惡者はくちびるの愆によりて罟に陷る されど義者は患難の中よりまぬかれいでん
14 What you say brings you rewards, and your work returns to bless you.
人はその口の徳によりて福祉に飽ん 人の手の行爲はその人の身にかへるべし
15 Stupid people think they're on the right track, but if you're wise you listen to advice.
愚なる者はみづからその道を見て正しとす されど智慧ある者はすすめを容る
16 Stupid people get angry immediately, but if you're sensible you ignore an insult.
愚なる者はただちに怒をあらはし 智きものは恥をつつむ
17 Whoever tells the truth is being honest, but a false witness tells lies.
眞實をいふものは正義を述べ いつはりの證人は虚偽をいふ
18 Some people's hasty words cut like a knife, but the words of the wise bring healing.
妄りに言をいだし劍をもて刺がごとくする者あり されど智慧ある者の舌は人をいやす
19 Words of truth last forever, but lies are gone in a moment.
眞理をいふ口唇は何時までも存つ されど虚偽をいふ舌はただ瞬息のあひだのみなり
20 Deceit is in the mind of those planning evil, but those who plan peace have joy.
惡事をはかる者の心には欺詐あり 和平を謀る者には歓喜あり
21 No harm comes to the good, but trouble fills the wicked.
義者には何の禍害も來らず 惡者はわざはひをもて充さる
22 The Lord hates liars but is happy with those who are trustworthy.
いつはりの口唇はヱホバに憎まれ 眞實をおこなふ者は彼に悦ばる
23 If you're sensible, you don't show off your knowledge, but stupid people announce their stupidity.
賢人は知識をかくす されど愚なる者のこころは愚なる事を述ぶ
24 Hard work brings leadership, but laziness brings slavery.
勤めはたらく者の手は人ををさむるにいたり惰者は人に服ふるにいたる
25 If you're anxious, you're weighed down, but an encouraging word will cheer you up.
うれひ人の心にあれば之を屈ます されど善言はこれを樂します
26 Good people look out for their friends, but the way the wicked live leads them astray.
義者はその友に道を示す されど惡者は自ら途にまよふ
27 Lazy people don't catch their prey, but if you work hard you can become rich.
惰者はおのれの猟獲たる物をも燔ず 勉めはたらくことは人の貴とき寳なり
28 The path of right leads to life, it doesn't lead to death.
義しき道には生命ありその道すぢには死なし
