24:1
|
你不要嫉妒恶人，也不要起意与他们相处；
|
|
|
Be not thou envious against evil men; Neither desire to be with them:
|
|
24:2
|
因为，他们的心图谋强暴，他们的口谈论奸恶。
|
|
|
For their heart studieth oppression, And their lips talk of mischief.
|
|
24:3
|
房屋因智慧建造，又因聪明立稳；
|
|
|
Through wisdom is a house builded; And by understanding it is established;
|
|
24:4
|
其中因知识充满各样美好宝贵的财物。
|
|
|
And by knowledge are the chambers filled With all precious and pleasant riches.
|
|
24:5
|
智慧人大有能力；有知识的人力上加力。
|
|
|
A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might
|
|
24:6
|
你去打仗，要凭智谋；谋士众多，人便得胜。
|
|
|
For by wise guidance thou shalt make thy war; And in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
|
|
24:7
|
智慧极高，非愚昧人所能及，所以在城门内不敢开口。
|
|
|
Wisdom is too high for a fool: He openeth not his mouth in the gate.
|
|
24:8
|
设计作恶的，必称为奸人。
|
|
|
He that deviseth to do evil, Men shall call him a mischief-maker.
|
|
24:9
|
愚妄人的思念乃是罪恶；亵慢者为人所憎恶。
|
|
|
The thought of foolishness is sin; And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
|
|
24:10
|
你在患难之日若胆怯，你的力量就微小。
|
|
|
If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small.
|
|
24:11
|
人被拉到死地，你要解救；人将被杀，你须拦阻。
|
|
|
Deliver them that are carried away unto death, And those that are ready to be slain see that thou hold back.
|
|
24:12
|
你若说：这事我未曾知道，那衡量人心的岂不明白吗？保守你命的岂不知道吗？他岂不按各人所行的报应各人吗？
|
|
|
If thou sayest, Behold, we knew not this; Doth not he that weigheth the hearts consider it? And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? And shall not he render to every man according to his work?
|
|
24:13
|
我儿，你要吃蜜，因为是好的；吃蜂房下滴的蜜便觉甘甜。
|
|
|
My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste:
|
|
24:14
|
你心得了智慧，也必觉得如此。你若找着，至终必有善报；你的指望也不至断绝。
|
|
|
So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.
|
|
24:15
|
你这恶人，不要埋伏攻击义人的家；不要毁坏他安居之所。
|
|
|
Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous; Destroy not his resting-place:
|
|
24:16
|
因为，义人虽七次跌倒，仍必兴起；恶人却被祸患倾倒。
|
|
|
For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
|
|
24:17
|
你仇敌跌倒，你不要欢喜；他倾倒，你心不要快乐；
|
|
|
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, And let not thy heart be glad when he is overthrown;
|
|
24:18
|
恐怕耶和华看见就不喜悦，将怒气从仇敌身上转过来。
|
|
|
Lest Jehovah see it, and it displease him, And he turn away his wrath from him.
|
|
24:19
|
不要为作恶的心怀不平，也不要嫉妒恶人；
|
|
|
Fret not thyself because of evil-doers; Neither be thou envious at the wicked:
|
|
24:20
|
因为，恶人终不得善报；恶人的灯也必熄灭。
|
|
|
For there shall be no reward to the evil man; The lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
|
|
24:21
|
我儿，你要敬畏耶和华与君王，不要与反复无常的人结交，
|
|
|
My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king; [And] company not with them that are given to change:
|
|
24:22
|
因为他们的灾难必忽然而起。耶和华与君王所施行的毁灭，谁能知道呢？
|
|
|
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; And the destruction from them both, who knoweth it?
|
|
24:23
|
以下也是智慧人的箴言：审判时看人情面是不好的。
|
|
|
These also are [sayings] of the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.
|
|
24:24
|
对恶人说：你是义人的，这人万民必咒诅，列邦必憎恶。
|
|
|
He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; Peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him:
|
|
24:25
|
责备恶人的，必得喜悦；美好的福也必临到他。
|
|
|
But to them that rebuke [him] shall be delight, And a good blessing shall come upon them.
|
|
24:26
|
应对正直的，犹如与人亲嘴。
|
|
|
He kisseth the lips Who giveth a right answer.
|
|
24:27
|
你要在外头预备工料，在田间办理整齐，然后建造房屋。
|
|
|
Prepare thy work without, And make it ready for thee in the field; And afterwards build thy house.
|
|
24:28
|
不可无故作见证陷害邻舍，也不可用嘴欺骗人。
|
|
|
Be not a witness against thy neighbor without cause; And deceive not with thy lips.
|
|
24:29
|
不可说：人怎样待我，我也怎样待他；我必照他所行的报复他。
|
|
|
Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me; I will render to the man according to his work.
|
|
24:30
|
我经过懒惰人的田地、无知人的葡萄园，
|
|
|
I went by the field of the sluggard, And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
|
|
24:31
|
荆棘长满了地皮，刺草遮盖了田面，石墙也坍塌了。
|
|
|
And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, The face thereof was covered with nettles, And the stone wall thereof was broken down.
|
|
24:32
|
我看见就留心思想；我看着就领了训诲。
|
|
|
Then I beheld, and considered well; I saw, and received instruction:
|
|
24:33
|
再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着手躺卧片时，
|
|
|
[Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep;
|
|
24:34
|
你的贫穷就必如强盗速来，你的缺乏彷佛拿兵器的人来到。
|
|
|
So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.
