旧约 -- 箴言(Proverbs) -- 第 19 章 ( 本篇共有 31 章 ) 　



19:1 行为纯正的贫穷人，胜过乖谬愚妄的富足人。

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

19:2 心无知识的，乃为不善。脚步急快的难免犯罪。

Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

19:3 人的愚昧，倾败他的道。他的心也抱怨耶和华。

The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.

19:4 财物使朋友增多。但穷人朋友远离。

Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

19:5 作假见证的，必不免受罚。吐出谎言的，终不能逃脱。

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

19:6 好施散的，有多人求他的恩情。爱送礼的，人都为他的朋友。

Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

19:7 贫穷人弟兄都恨他，何况他的朋友，更远离他。他用言语追随，他们却走了。

All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

19:8 得着智慧的，爱惜生命，保守聪明的，必得好处。

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

19:9 作假见证的，不免受罚。吐出谎言的，也必灭亡。

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

19:10 愚昧人宴乐度日，是不合宜的，何况仆人管辖王子呢。

Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

19:11 人有见识，就不轻易发怒。宽恕人的过失，便是自己的荣耀。

The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

19:12 王的忿怒，好像狮子吼叫。他的恩典，却如草上的甘露。

The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

19:13 愚昧的儿子，是父亲的祸患。妻子的争吵，如雨连连滴漏。

A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

19:14 房屋钱财。是祖宗所遗留的。惟有贤慧的妻，是耶和华所赐的。

House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

19:15 懒惰使人沉睡。懈怠的人，必受饥饿。

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

19:16 谨守诫命的，保全生命。轻忽己路的，必致死亡。

He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

19:17 怜悯贫穷的，就是借给耶和华。他的善行，耶和华必偿还。

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

19:18 趁有指望，管教你的儿子。你的心不可任他死亡。

Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

19:19 暴怒的人，必受刑罚。你若救他，必须再救。

A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

19:20 你要听劝教，受训诲，使你终久有智慧。

Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

19:21 人心多有计谋。惟有耶和华的筹算，才能立定。

There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

19:22 施行仁慈的，令人爱慕。穷人强如说谎言的。

The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

19:23 敬畏耶和华的，得着生命。他必恒久知足，不遭祸患。

The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

19:24 懒惰人放手在盘子里。就是向口撤回，他也不肯。

A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

19:25 鞭打亵慢人，愚蒙人必长见识。责备明哲人，他就明白知识。

Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

19:26 虐待父亲，撵出母亲的，是贻羞致辱之子。

He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

19:27 我儿，不可听了教训，而又偏离知识的言语。

Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

19:28 匪徒作见证戏笑公平。恶人的口吞下罪孽。

An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

19:29 刑罚是为亵慢人豫备的。鞭打是为愚昧人的背豫备的。

Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
