21:1
τέκνον ἥμαρτες μὴ προσθῇς μηκέτι καὶ περὶ τῶν προτέρων σου δεήθητι
My son, have you sinned? add no more thereto; And make supplication for your former sins.
孩子啊，你犯了罪嗎？不要再犯，並要為你從前的罪祈求。
21:2
ὡς ἀπὸ προσώπου ὄφεως φεῦγε ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας ἐὰν γὰρ προσέλθῃς δήξεταί σε ὀδόντες λέοντος οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτῆς ἀναιροῦντες ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων
Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent; For if you draw near it will bite you: The teeth thereof are the teeth of a lion, Slaying the souls of men.
要逃避罪惡，如同逃避蛇面；你若就近它，它必咬你；它的牙如獅子的牙，能殺滅人的性命。
21:3
ὡς ῥομφαία δίστομος πᾶσα ἀνομία τῇ πληγῇ αὐτῆς οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις
All iniquity is as a two-edged sword; Its stroke has no healing.
一切不法之事都像兩刃的刀，它所造成的傷無從醫治。
21:4
καταπληγμὸς καὶ ὕβρις ἐρημώσουσιν πλοῦτον οὕτως οἶκος ὑπερηφάνου ἐρημωθήσεται
Terror and violence will lay waste riches; So the house of a haughty man will be laid waste.
恐嚇與暴行必使財富化為烏有，照樣，狂傲人的家也必荒涼。
21:5
δέησις πτωχοῦ ἐκ στόματος ἕως ὠτίων αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ κρίμα αὐτοῦ κατὰ σπουδὴν ἔρχεται
Supplication from a poor man’s mouth reaches to the ears of God, And his judgement comes speedily.
窮人口中的祈求達到主的耳中，他所受的伸冤也必迅速臨到。
21:6
μισῶν ἐλεγμὸν ἐν ἴχνει ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ ὁ φοβούμενος κύριον ἐπιστρέψει ἐν καρδίᾳ
One that hates reproof is in the path of the sinner; And he that fears the Lord will turn again in his heart.
厭惡責備的人行在罪人的路上，敬畏主的人卻必心裡回轉。
21:7
γνωστὸς μακρόθεν ὁ δυνατὸς ἐν γλώσσῃ ὁ δὲ νοήμων οἶδεν ἐν τῷ ὀλισθάνειν αὐτόν
He that is mighty in tongue is known afar off: But the man of understanding knows when he slips.
口才便給的人遠近皆知，有見識的人卻知道何時當謹慎自己的失足。
21:8
ὁ οἰκοδομῶν τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ ἐν χρήμασιν ἀλλοτρίοις ὡς συνάγων αὐτοῦ τοὺς λίθους εἰς χειμῶνα
He that builds his house with other men’s money Is like one that gathers himself stones against winter.
用別人錢財建造房屋的人，如同積聚石頭預備自己的墳墓。
21:9
στιππύον συνηγμένον συναγωγὴ ἀνόμων καὶ ἡ συντέλεια αὐτῶν φλὸξ πυρός
The congregation of wicked men is as tow wrapped together; And the end of them is a flame of fire.
不法之徒的聚集如同纏在一起的麻屑，他們的結局乃是火焰。
21:10
ὁδὸς ἁμαρτωλῶν ὡμαλισμένη ἐκ λίθων καὶ ἐπ’ ἐσχάτων αὐτῆς βόθρος ᾅδου
The way of sinners is made smooth with stones; And at the last end thereof is the pit of Hades.
罪人的道路用石頭鋪得平坦，其盡頭卻是陰間的深坑。
21:11
ὁ φυλάσσων νόμον κατακρατεῖ τοῦ ἐννοήματος αὐτοῦ καὶ συντέλεια τοῦ φόβου κυρίου σοφία
He that keeps the law becomes master of the intent thereof; And the end of the fear of the Lord is wisdom.
遵守律法的人能掌握律法的本意，敬畏主的盡頭就是智慧。
21:12
οὐ παιδευθήσεται ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν πανοῦργος ἔστιν δὲ πανουργία πληθύνουσα πικρίαν
He that is not clever will not be instructed; And there is a cleverness which makes bitterness to abound.
不精明的人不能受教，但也有一種精明使苦毒增多。
21:13
γνῶσις σοφοῦ ὡς κατακλυσμὸς πληθυνθήσεται καὶ ἡ βουλὴ αὐτοῦ ὡς πηγὴ ζωῆς
The knowledge of a wise man will be made to abound as a flood; And his counsel as a fountain of life.
智慧人的知識必如洪水漲溢，他的謀略如同生命的泉源。
21:14
ἔγκατα μωροῦ ὡς ἀγγεῖον συντετριμμένον καὶ πᾶσαν γνῶσιν οὐ κρατήσει
The inward parts of a fool are like a broken vessel; And he will hold no knowledge.
愚人的內裡如同破裂的器皿，必不能存留任何知識。
21:15
λόγον σοφὸν ἐὰν ἀκούσῃ ἐπιστήμων αἰνέσει αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπ’ αὐτὸν προσθήσει ἤκουσεν ὁ σπαταλῶν καὶ ἀπήρεσεν αὐτῷ καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν αὐτὸν ὀπίσω τοῦ νώτου αὐτοῦ
If a man of knowledge hear a wise word, He will commend it, and add to it: The dissolute man hears it, and it displeases him, And he puts it away behind his back.
有見識的人聽見智慧之言，便稱讚它，並有所增益；放縱的人聽了卻不喜悅，便把它丟在背後。
21:16
ἐξήγησις μωροῦ ὡς ἐν ὁδῷ φορτίον ἐπὶ δὲ χείλους συνετοῦ εὑρεθήσεται χάρις
The discourse of a fool is like a burden in the way; But grace will be found on the lips of the wise.
愚人的言談如同路上的重擔，智慧人的嘴脣卻顯出恩惠。
21:17
στόμα φρονίμου ζητηθήσεται ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ καὶ τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ διανοηθήσονται ἐν καρδίᾳ
The mouth of the prudent man will be sought for in the congregation; And they will ponder his words in their heart.
明智人的口在會眾中為人所求，眾人也必把他的話放在心裡思想。
21:18
ὡς οἶκος ἠφανισμένος οὕτως μωρῷ σοφία καὶ γνῶσις ἀσυνέτου ἀδιεξέταστοι λόγοι
As a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool; And the knowledge of an unwise man is as talk without sense.
如同毀壞的房屋，智慧對愚人也是如此；無知者的知識不過是無意義的言語。
21:19
πέδαι ἐν ποσὶν ἀνοήτου παιδεία καὶ ὡς χειροπέδαι ἐπὶ χειρὸς δεξιᾶς
Instruction is as fetters on the feet of an unwise man, And as manacles on the right hand.
訓誨對無知的人如同腳上的鐐銬，又如右手上的手銬。
21:20
μωρὸς ἐν γέλωτι ἀνυψοῖ φωνὴν αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ δὲ πανοῦργος μόλις ἡσυχῇ μειδιάσει
A fool lifts up his voice with laughter; But a clever man will scarce smile quietly.
愚人縱聲大笑，精明的人卻只是悄然微笑。
21:21
ὡς κόσμος χρυσοῦς φρονίμῳ παιδεία καὶ ὡς χλιδὼν ἐπὶ βραχίονι δεξιῷ
Instruction is to a prudent man as an ornament of gold, And as a bracelet upon his right arm.
訓誨對明智人如同金的裝飾，又如右臂上的鐲子。
21:22
ποὺς μωροῦ ταχὺς εἰς οἰκίαν ἄνθρωπος δὲ πολύπειρος αἰσχυνθήσεται ἀπὸ προσώπου
The foot of a fool is soon in another man’s house; But a man of experience will be ashamed of entering.
愚人的腳貿然踏入別人的家，閱歷豐富的人卻以此為羞。
21:23
ἄφρων ἀπὸ θύρας παρακύπτει εἰς οἰκίαν ἀνὴρ δὲ πεπαιδευμένος ἔξω στήσεται
A foolish man peepeth in from the door of another man’s house; But a man that is instructed will stand without.
愚妄人從門口窺探別人的家，受過教導的人卻站在門外。
21:24
ἀπαιδευσία ἀνθρώπου ἀκροᾶσθαι παρὰ θύραν ὁ δὲ φρόνιμος βαρυνθήσεται ἀτιμίᾳ
It is a lack of instruction in a man to listen at the door; But the prudent man will be grieved with the disgrace.
在門口偷聽是人缺乏教養的表現，明智人卻以這羞辱為苦。
21:25
χείλη ἀλλοτρίων ἐν τούτοις διηγήσονται λόγοι δὲ φρονίμων ἐν ζυγῷ σταθήσονται
The lips of strangers will be grieved at these things; But the words of prudent men will be weighed in the balance.
外人的嘴脣只談論這些事，明智人的言語卻要放在天平上稱量。
21:26
ἐν στόματι μωρῶν ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν καρδία δὲ σοφῶν στόμα αὐτῶν
The heart of fools is in their mouth; But the mouth of wise men is their heart.
愚人的心在他口中，智慧人的口卻在他心中。
21:27
ἐν τῷ καταρᾶσθαι ἀσεβῆ τὸν σατανᾶν αὐτὸς καταρᾶται τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν
When the ungodly curses Satan, He curses his own soul.
不敬虔的人咒詛撒但時，其實是在咒詛自己的心靈。
21:28
μολύνει τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχὴν ὁ ψιθυρίζων καὶ ἐν παροικήσει μισηθήσεται
A whisperer defiles his own soul, And will be hated wherever he sojourneth.
搬弄是非的人玷污自己的心靈，無論寄居何處都被人憎恨。
