22:1
λίθῳ ἠρδαλωμένῳ συνεβλήθη ὀκνηρός καὶ πᾶς ἐκσυριεῖ ἐπὶ τῇ ἀτιμίᾳ αὐτοῦ
A slothful man is compared to a stone that is defiled; And every one will hiss him out in his disgrace.
懶惰的人好比被污穢之物玷污的石頭，眾人都要因他的可恥而嗤笑他。
22:2
βολβίτῳ κοπρίων συνεβλήθη ὀκνηρός πᾶς ὁ ἀναιρούμενος αὐτὸν ἐκτινάξει χεῖρα
A slothful man is compared to the filth of a dunghill: Every man that takes it up will shake out his hand.
懶惰的人好比糞堆的污穢，凡撿起它的人都要把手甩開。
22:3
αἰσχύνη πατρὸς ἐν γεννήσει ἀπαιδεύτου θυγάτηρ δὲ ἐπ’ ἐλαττώσει γίνεται
A father has shame in having begotten an uninstructed son; And a foolish daughter is born to his loss.
生養無學識之子的父親要蒙羞辱，生個愚昧的女兒更使他受虧損。
22:4
θυγάτηρ φρονίμη κληρονομήσει ἄνδρα αὐτῆς καὶ ἡ καταισχύνουσα εἰς λύπην γεννήσαντος
A prudent daughter will inherit a husband of her own; And she that brings shame is the grief of her father.
明智的女兒必為自己得著丈夫為業，使人蒙羞的女兒卻成為生她之人的憂愁。
22:5
πατέρα καὶ ἄνδρα καταισχύνει ἡ θρασεῖα καὶ ὑπὸ ἀμφοτέρων ἀτιμασθήσεται
She that is bold brings shame upon father and husband; And she will be despised of them both.
放肆的女兒使父親與丈夫蒙羞，必被二者所輕看。
22:6
μουσικὰ ἐν πένθει ἄκαιρος διήγησις μάστιγες δὲ καὶ παιδεία ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ σοφίας
Unseasonable discourse is as music in mourning; But stripes and correction are wisdom at every season.
不合時宜的言談如同居喪時的音樂，責打與管教卻在任何時候都是智慧。
22:7
ከመ ፡ ዘያስተጣብቅ ፡ አግዕልተ ፡ ዘይሜህሮ ፡ ለአብድ ፡ አንቅሆ ፡ እምዐቢይ ፡ ንዋም ፡ ለዘይነውም ።
He that teaches a fool is as one that glues a potsherd together; Even as one that wakes a sleeper out of a deep sleep.
教導愚人的，如同黏合破碎的瓦片，又如喚醒酣睡之人。
22:8
(ከማሁ ፡)ዘይነግሮ ፡ ለአብድ ፡ ከመ ፡ ዘይነግሮ ፡ ለድቁስ ፡ ወሶበ ፡ አኅለቀ ፡ ነጊሮቶ ፡ ይብለከ ፡ ምንተ ፡ ትቤ ።
He that discourseth to a fool is as one discoursing to a man that slumbereth; And at the end he will say, What is it?
向不聽的人講論話語的，如同向沉睡之人傳講；到末了他必說：『這是什麼？』
22:9
συγκολλῶν ὄστρακον ὁ διδάσκων μωρόν ἐξεγείρων καθεύδοντα ἐκ βαθέος ὕπνου
He who teaches a fool is like one gluing together a potsherd, like one rousing a sleeper out of a deep sleep.
教導愚人的，如同黏合瓦片，又如把人從沉睡中喚醒。
22:10
διηγούμενος νυστάζοντι ὁ διηγούμενος μωρῷ καὶ ἐπὶ συντελείᾳ ἐρεῖ τί ἐστιν
He who recounts anything to a drowsy man is one who recounts to a fool, and at the end he will say, What is it?
向打盹之人講論的，如同向愚人講論；到末了他必說：『這是什麼？』
22:11
ἐπὶ νεκρῷ κλαῦσον ἐξέλιπεν γὰρ φῶς καὶ ἐπὶ μωρῷ κλαῦσον ἐξέλιπεν γὰρ σύνεσιν ἥδιον κλαῦσον ἐπὶ νεκρῷ ὅτι ἀνεπαύσατο τοῦ δὲ μωροῦ ὑπὲρ θάνατον ἡ ζωὴ πονηρά
Weep for the dead, for light has failed him; And weep for a fool, for understanding has failed him: Weep more sweetly for the dead, because he has found rest; But the life of the fool is worse than death.
要為死人哀哭，因為光已離開他；要為愚人哀哭，因為見識已離開他。為死人哀哭倒更甘心，因為他已得安息；愚人的生命卻比死亡更糟。
22:12
πένθος νεκροῦ ἑπτὰ ἡμέραι μωροῦ δὲ καὶ ἀσεβοῦς πᾶσαι αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ
Seven days are the days of mourning for the dead; But for a fool and an ungodly man, all the days of his life.
為死人哀悼的日子是七天，為愚人與不敬虔之人卻是他一生所有的日子。
22:13
μετὰ ἄφρονος μὴ πληθύνῃς λόγον καὶ πρὸς ἀσύνετον μὴ πορεύου φύλαξαι ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἵνα μὴ κόπον ἔχῃς καὶ οὐ μὴ μολυνθῇς ἐν τῷ ἐντιναγμῷ αὐτοῦ ἔκκλινον ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ εὑρήσεις ἀνάπαυσιν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀκηδιάσῃς ἐν τῇ ἀπονοίᾳ αὐτοῦ
Talk not much with a foolish man, And go not to one that has no understanding: Beware of him, lest you have trouble; And so you shall not be defiled in his onslaught: Turn away from him, and you will find rest; And so you shall not be wearied in his madness.
不要與愚人多言，也不要與無見識的人來往；要防備他，免得你受累，也免得你在他的攪擾中被玷污；要躲開他，你就得安息，不致因他的瘋狂而厭煩。
22:14
ὑπὲρ μόλιβον τί βαρυνθήσεται καὶ τί αὐτῷ ὄνομα ἀλλ’ ἢ μωρός
What shall be heavier than lead? And what is the name thereof, but a fool?
有什麼比鉛更重？除了愚人，它還能叫什麼名字呢？
22:15
ἄμμον καὶ ἅλα καὶ βῶλον σιδήρου εὔκοπον ὑπενεγκεῖν ἢ ἄνθρωπον ἀσύνετον
Sand, and salt, and a mass of iron, is easier to bear, Than a man without understanding.
沙、鹽和一塊鐵，背負起來都比擔當無見識的人容易。
22:16
ἱμάντωσις ξυλίνη ἐνδεδεμένη εἰς οἰκοδομὴν ἐν συσσεισμῷ οὐ διαλυθήσεται οὕτως καρδία ἐστηριγμένη ἐπὶ διανοήματος βουλῆς ἐν καιρῷ οὐ δειλιάσει
Timber girded and bound into a building will not be loosed with shaking: So a heart established in due season on well advised counsel will not be afraid.
釘牢在建築中的木架，地震時也不致鬆脫；照樣，立定在深思熟慮之謀略上的心，到時候也必不膽怯。
22:17
καρδία ἡδρασμένη ἐπὶ διανοίας συνέσεως ὡς κόσμος ψαμμωτὸς τοίχου ξυστοῦ
A heart settled upon a thoughtful understanding Is as an ornament of plaister on a polished wall.
安立在思想悟性上的心，如同磨光牆上灰泥的妝飾。
22:18
χάρακες ἐπὶ μετεώρου κείμενοι κατέναντι ἀνέμου οὐ μὴ ὑπομείνωσιν οὕτως καρδία δειλὴ ἐπὶ διανοήματος μωροῦ κατέναντι παντὸς φόβου οὐ μὴ ὑπομείνῃ
Pales set on a high place will not stand against the wind: So a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool will not stand against any fear.
高處迎風而立的籬樁必經不起風吹；照樣，立在愚人空想上的怯懦之心，遇任何恐懼也站立不住。
22:19
ὁ νύσσων ὀφθαλμὸν κατάξει δάκρυα καὶ νύσσων καρδίαν ἐκφαίνει αἴσθησιν
He that pricks the eye will make tears to fall; And he that pricks the heart makes it to show feeling.
刺人眼睛的必使淚流下，刺人內心的必顯出真情。
22:20
βάλλων λίθον ἐπὶ πετεινὰ ἀποσοβεῖ αὐτά καὶ ὁ ὀνειδίζων φίλον διαλύσει φιλίαν
Whoso casts a stone at birds frays them away; And he that upbraids a friend will dissolve friendship.
向飛鳥扔石頭的必把牠們嚇跑，責罵朋友的必斷絕友誼。
22:21
ἐπὶ φίλον ἐὰν σπάσῃς ῥομφαίαν μὴ ἀφελπίσῃς ἔστιν γὰρ ἐπάνοδος
If you have drawn a sword against a friend, despair not; For there may be a returning.
你若曾向朋友拔刀，也不要絕望，因為仍有和好的可能。
22:22
ἐπὶ φίλον ἐὰν ἀνοίξῃς στόμα μὴ εὐλαβηθῇς ἔστιν γὰρ διαλλαγή πλὴν ὀνειδισμοῦ καὶ ὑπερηφανίας καὶ μυστηρίου ἀποκαλύψεως καὶ πληγῆς δολίας ἐν τούτοις ἀποφεύξεται πᾶς φίλος
If you have opened your mouth against a friend, fear not; For there may be a reconciling; Except it be for upbraiding, and arrogance, and disclosing of a secret, and a treacherous blow: For these things every friend will flee.
你若曾向朋友張口斥責，也不要害怕，因為仍有復和的可能；惟有辱罵、狂傲、洩露祕密與詭詐的暗算，遇這些事，凡朋友都要走避。
22:23
πίστιν κτῆσαι ἐν πτωχείᾳ μετὰ τοῦ πλησίον ἵνα ἐν τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς αὐτοῦ ὁμοῦ πλησθῇς ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως διάμενε αὐτῷ ἵνα ἐν τῇ κληρονομίᾳ αὐτοῦ συγκληρονομήσῃς
Gain trust with your neighbor in his poverty, That in his prosperity you may have gladness: Abide stedfast to him in the time of his affliction, That you may be heir with him in his inheritance.
當在鄰舍貧窮時與他建立信任，好叫你也能一同分享他的福分；當在他患難之時恆久與他同在，好叫你能與他同承基業。
22:24
πρὸ πυρὸς ἀτμὶς καμίνου καὶ καπνός οὕτως πρὸ αἱμάτων λοιδορίαι
Before fire is the vapor and smoke of a furnace; So revilings before bloodshed.
火起之前先有爐中的蒸氣與煙；照樣，流血之前先有辱罵。
22:25
φίλον σκεπάσαι οὐκ αἰσχυνθήσομαι καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ κρυβῶ
I will not be ashamed to shelter a friend; And I will not hide myself from his face:
我必不以遮蔽朋友為羞，也不從他面前隱藏自己。
22:26
καὶ εἰ κακά μοι συμβήσεται δῑ αὐτόν πᾶς ὁ ἀκούων φυλάξεται ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ
And if any evil happen to me because of him, Every one that hears it will beware of him.
我若因他遭遇災禍，凡聽見的人都必防備他。
22:27
τίς δώσει ἐπὶ στόμα μου φυλακὴν καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν χειλέων μου σφραγῖδα πανοῦργον ἵνα μὴ πέσω ἀπ’ αὐτῆς καὶ ἡ γλῶσσά μου ἀπολέσῃ με
Who shall set a watch over my mouth, And a seal of shrewdness upon my lips, That I fall not from it, and that my tongue destroy me not?
誰能在我口上設立守衛，在我嘴脣上加上精明的封印，使我不致因此失足，免得我的舌頭毀滅我？
