14:1
μακάριος ἀνήρ ὃς οὐκ ὠλίσθησεν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ κατενύγη ἐν λύπῃ ἁμαρτιῶν
Blessed is the man that has not slipped with his mouth, And is not pricked with sorrow for sins.
沒有因言語失足、也沒有因罪過憂傷扎心的人，是有福的。
14:2
μακάριος οὗ οὐ κατέγνω ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὃς οὐκ ἔπεσεν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐλπίδος αὐτοῦ
Blessed is he whose soul does not condemn him, And who is not fallen from his hope.
良心不責備他、又沒有從盼望中跌落的人，是有福的。
14:3
ἀνδρὶ μικρολόγῳ οὐ καλὸς ὁ πλοῦτος καὶ ἀνθρώπῳ βασκάνῳ ἵνα τί χρήματα
Riches are not comely for a niggard; And what should an envious man do with money?
財富對吝嗇的人並不相宜，貪嫉的人又何必有錢財呢？
14:4
ὁ συνάγων ἀπὸ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ συνάγει ἄλλοις καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς αὐτοῦ τρυφήσουσιν ἕτεροι
He that gathers by taking from his own soul gathers for others; And others will revel in his goods.
從自己心靈中刻薄聚斂的人，是為別人積攢；別人必享用他的財物。
14:5
ὁ πονηρὸς ἑαυτῷ τίνι ἀγαθὸς ἔσται καὶ οὐ μὴ εὐφρανθήσεται ἐν τοῖς χρήμασιν αὐτοῦ
He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? And he will not rejoice in his possessions.
對自己刻薄的人，又能善待誰呢？他必不能因自己的財物得歡樂。
14:6
τοῦ βασκαίνοντος ἑαυτὸν οὐκ ἔστιν πονηρότερος καὶ τοῦτο ἀνταπόδομα τῆς κακίας αὐτοῦ
There is none more evil than he that envies himself; And this is a recompense of his wickedness.
沒有人比苛待自己的人更壞，這就是他邪惡所得的報應。
14:7
κἂν εὖ ποιῇ ἐν λήθῃ ποιεῖ καὶ ἐπ’ ἐσχάτων ἐκφαίνει τὴν κακίαν αὐτοῦ
Even if he does good, he does it in forgetfulness; And at the last he shows forth his wickedness.
他即便行善，也是不情不願地行；到末了，他必顯露自己的邪惡。
14:8
πονηρὸς ὁ βασκαίνων ὀφθαλμῷ ἀποστρέφων πρόσωπον καὶ ὑπερορῶν ψυχάς
Evil is he that envies with his eye, Turning away the face, and despising the souls of men.
以惡眼貪嫉的人是邪惡的，他轉臉不顧，輕看別人的性命。
14:9
πλεονέκτου ὀφθαλμὸς οὐκ ἐμπίπλαται μερίδι καὶ ἀδικία πονηρὰ ἀναξηραίνει ψυχήν
A covetous man’s eye is not satisfied with his portion; And wicked injustice dries up his soul.
貪婪人的眼目不以自己的分為滿足，邪惡的不義使他的心靈枯乾。
14:10
ὀφθαλμὸς πονηρὸς φθονερὸς ἐπ’ ἄρτῳ καὶ ἐλλιπὴς ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης αὐτοῦ
An evil eye is grudging of bread, And he is miserly at his table
惡眼的人吝惜食物，在自己席上也短缺不慷慨。
14:11
τέκνον καθὼς ἐὰν ἔχῃς εὖ ποίει σεαυτὸν καὶ προσφορὰς κυρίῳ ἀξίως πρόσαγε
My son, according as you have, do well to yourself, And bring offerings to the Lord worthily.
孩子啊，要照你所有的善待自己，並把當得的供物獻給主。
14:12
μνήσθητι ὅτι θάνατος οὐ χρονιεῖ καὶ διαθήκη ᾅδου οὐχ ὑπεδείχθη σοι
Remember that death will not wait, And that the covenant of the grave is not showed to you.
要記得死亡不會遲延，陰間的約期也未曾向你顯明。
14:13
πρίν σε τελευτῆσαι εὖ ποίει φίλῳ καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἰσχύν σου ἔκτεινον καὶ δὸς αὐτῷ
Do well to your friend before you die; And according to your ability stretch out your hand and give to him.
未死之前，要善待你的朋友；要盡你的力量伸手周濟他。
14:14
μὴ ἀφυστερήσῃς ἀπὸ ἀγαθῆς ἡμέρας καὶ μερὶς ἐπιθυμίας ἀγαθῆς μή σε παρελθάτω
Defraud not yourself of a good day; And don’t let the portion of a good desire pass you by.
不要使自己錯失美好的日子，不要讓美善的願望從你身邊溜走。
14:15
οὐχὶ ἑτέρῳ καταλείψεις τοὺς πόνους σου καὶ τοὺς κόπους σου εἰς διαίρεσιν κλήρου
Shall you not leave your labors to another? And your toils to be divided by lot?
你豈不是要把你的勞苦留給別人，把你的勞碌交付別人拈鬮分取嗎？
14:16
δὸς καὶ λαβὲ καὶ ἀπάτησον τὴν ψυχήν σου ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ᾅδου ζητῆσαι τρυφήν
Give, and take, and decieve your soul; For there is no seeking of luxury in the grave.
要施與，也要領受，並寬待你的心靈；因為在陰間無從尋求享樂。
14:17
πᾶσα σὰρξ ὡς ἱμάτιον παλαιοῦται ἡ γὰρ διαθήκη ἀπ’ αἰῶνος θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ
All flesh waxes old as a garment; For the covenant from the beginning is, You shall die the death.
凡有血肉的都像衣服漸漸破舊，因為從亙古以來的定命就是：你必定死。
14:18
ὡς φύλλον θάλλον ἐπὶ δένδρου δασέος τὰ μὲν καταβάλλει ἄλλα δὲ φύει οὕτως γενεὰ σαρκὸς καὶ αἵματος ἡ μὲν τελευτᾷ ἑτέρα δὲ γεννᾶται
As of the leaves flourishing on a thick tree, Some it sheds, and some it makes to grow; So also of the generations of flesh and blood, One comes to an end, and another is born.
如同茂密樹上繁盛的葉子，有的凋落，有的生長；血肉之人的世代也是如此，一代死去，另一代又出生。
14:19
πᾶν ἔργον σηπόμενον ἐκλείπει καὶ ὁ ἐργαζόμενος αὐτὸ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἀπελεύσεται
Every work rots and falls away, And the worker thereof shall depart with it.
凡腐朽的工作都要消逝，作工的人也必與它一同離去。

ὁ καταλύων σύνεγγυς τοῦ οἴκου αὐτῆς καὶ πήξει πάσσαλον ἐν τοῖς τοίχοις αὐτῆς
He that lodges close to her house Shall also fasten a nail in her walls.
靠近她房屋安歇的人，也必把橛子釘在她的牆上。
14:25
στήσει τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ κατὰ χεῖρας αὐτῆς καὶ καταλύσει ἐν καταλύματι ἀγαθῶν

θήσει τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ σκέπῃ αὐτῆς καὶ ὑπὸ τοὺς κλάδους αὐτῆς αὐλισθήσεται
He will set his children under her shelter, And will rest under her branches.
他必使他的兒女在她的蔭庇下安身，在她的枝條下棲息。

σκεπασθήσεται ὑπ’ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ καύματος καὶ ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτῆς καταλύσει
