箴言 第 29 章

1人屡次受责罚，仍然硬着颈项； 他必顷刻败坏，无法可治。

1He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

2义人增多，民就喜乐； 恶人掌权，民就叹息。

2When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

3爱慕智慧的，使父亲喜乐； 与妓女结交的，却浪费钱财。

3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

4王借公平，使国坚定； 索要贿赂，使国倾败。

4The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

5谄媚邻舍的， 就是设网罗绊他的脚。

5A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

6恶人犯罪，自陷网罗； 惟独义人欢呼喜乐。

6In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

7义人知道查明穷人的案； 恶人没有聪明，就不得而知。

7The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

8亵慢人煽惑通城； 智慧人止息众怒。

8Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

9智慧人与愚妄人相争， 或怒或笑，总不能使他止息。

9If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

10好流人血的，恨恶完全人， 索取正直人的性命。

10The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.

11愚妄人怒气全发； 智慧人忍气含怒。

11A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

12君王若听谎言， 他一切臣仆都是奸恶。

12If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

13贫穷人、强暴人在世相遇； 他们的眼目都蒙耶和华光照。

13The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.

14君王凭诚实判断穷人； 他的国位必永远坚立。

14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

15杖打和责备能加增智慧； 放纵的儿子使母亲羞愧。

15The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

16恶人加多，过犯也加多， 义人必看见他们跌倒。

16When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

17管教你的儿子，他就使你得安息， 也必使你心里喜乐。

17Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

18没有异象，民就放肆； 惟遵守律法的，便为有福。

18Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

19只用言语，仆人不肯受管教； 他虽然明白，也不留意。

19A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.

20你见言语急躁的人吗？ 愚昧人比他更有指望。

20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

21人将仆人从小娇养， 这仆人终久必成了他的儿子。

21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

22好气的人挑启争端； 暴怒的人多多犯罪。

22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

23人的高傲必使他卑下； 心里谦逊的，必得尊荣。

23A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

24人与盗贼分赃，是恨恶自己的性命； 他听见叫人发誓的声音，却不言语。

24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

25惧怕人的，陷入网罗； 惟有倚靠耶和华的，必得安稳。

25The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

26求王恩的人多； 定人事乃在耶和华。

26Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the LORD.

27为非作歹的，被义人憎嫌； 行事正直的，被恶人憎恶。

27An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
