Proverbs 10

1 The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother.

1 所羅門的箴言： 智慧之子使父親歡樂； 愚昧之子叫母親擔憂。

2 Ill-gotten treasures profit nothing, but righteousness brings deliverance from death.

2 不義之財毫無益處； 惟有公義能救人脫離死亡。

3 The LORD does not let the righteous go hungry, but He denies the craving of the wicked.

3 耶和華不使義人受飢餓； 惡人所欲的，他必推開。

4 Idle hands make one poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.

4 手懶的，要受貧窮； 手勤的，卻要富足。

5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.

5 夏天聚斂的，是智慧之子； 收割時沉睡的，是貽羞之子。

6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

6 福祉臨到義人的頭； 強暴蒙蔽惡人的口。

7 The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.

7 義人的紀念被稱讚； 惡人的名字必朽爛。

8 A wise heart will receive commandments, but foolish lips will come to ruin.

8 心中智慧的，必受命令； 口裏愚妄的，必致傾倒。

9 He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.

9 行正直路的，步步安穩； 走彎曲道的，必致敗露。

10 He who winks the eye causes grief, and foolish lips will come to ruin.

10 以眼傳神的，使人憂患； 口裏愚妄的，必致傾倒。

11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

11 義人的口是生命的泉源； 強暴蒙蔽惡人的口。

12 Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers all transgressions.

12 恨能挑啟爭端； 愛能遮掩一切過錯。

13 Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks judgment.

13 明哲人嘴裏有智慧； 無知人背上受刑杖。

14 The wise store up knowledge, but the mouth of the fool invites destruction.

14 智慧人積存知識； 愚妄人的口速致敗壞。

15 The wealth of the rich man is his fortified city, but poverty is the ruin of the poor.

15 富戶的財物是他的堅城； 窮人的貧乏是他的敗壞。

16 The labor of the righteous leads to life, but the gain of the wicked brings punishment.

16 義人的勤勞致生； 惡人的進項致死 。

17 Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who ignores reproof goes astray.

17 謹守訓誨的，乃在生命的道上； 違棄責備的，便失迷了路。

18 The one who conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.

18 隱藏怨恨的，有說謊的嘴； 口出讒謗的，是愚妄的人。

19 When words are many, sin is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise.

19 多言多語難免有過； 禁止嘴唇是有智慧。

20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked has little worth.

20 義人的舌乃似高銀； 惡人的心所值無幾。

21 The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of judgment.

21 義人的口教養多人； 愚昧人因無知而死亡。

22 The blessing of the LORD enriches, and He adds no sorrow to it.

22 耶和華所賜的福使人富足， 並不加上憂慮。

23 The fool delights in shameful conduct, but a man of understanding has wisdom.

23 愚妄人以行惡為戲耍； 明哲人卻以智慧為樂。

24 What the wicked man dreads will overtake him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

24 惡人所怕的，必臨到他； 義人所願的，必蒙應允。

25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are no more, but the righteous are secure forever.

25 暴風一過，惡人歸於無有； 義人的根基卻是永久。

26 Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is the slacker to those who send him.

26 懶惰人叫差他的人 如醋倒牙，如煙薰目。

27 The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be cut short.

27 敬畏耶和華使人日子加多； 但惡人的年歲必被減少。

28 The hope of the righteous is joy, but the expectations of the wicked will perish.

28 義人的盼望必得喜樂； 惡人的指望必致滅沒。

29 The way of the LORD is a refuge to the upright, but destruction awaits those who do evil.

29 耶和華的道是正直人的保障， 卻成了作孽人的敗壞。

30 The righteous will never be shaken, but the wicked will not inhabit the land.

30 義人永不挪移； 惡人不得住在地上。

31 The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be cut out.

31 義人的口滋生智慧； 乖謬的舌必被割斷。

32 The lips of the righteous know what is fitting, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.

32 義人的嘴能令人喜悅； 惡人的口說乖謬的話。
