ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐνδελεχήσει μάστιγας αὐτῷ ἵνα εὐφρανθῇ ἐπ’ ἐσχάτων αὐτοῦ
He that loves his son will continue to lay stripes upon him, That he may have joy of him in the end.

ὁ παιδεύων τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ὀνήσεται ἐπ’ αὐτῷ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον γνωρίμων ἐπ’ αὐτῷ καυχήσεται
He that chastises his son shall have profit of him, And shall glory of him among his acquaintance.

ὁ διδάσκων τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ παραζηλώσει τὸν ἐχθρὸν καὶ ἔναντι φίλων ἐπ’ αὐτῷ ἀγαλλιάσεται
He that teaches his son shall provoke his enemy to jealousy; And before friends he shall rejoice of him.

ἐτελεύτησεν αὐτοῦ ὁ πατήρ καὶ ὧς οὐκ ἀπέθανεν ὅμοιον γὰρ αὐτῷ κατέλιπεν μετ’ αὐτόν
His father dieth, and is as though he had not died; For he has left one behind him like himself.
他的父親雖死，卻如同未死，因為他留下了一個與自己相似的人。

ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ εἶδεν καὶ εὐφράνθη καὶ ἐν τῇ τελευτῇ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐλυπήθη
In his life, he saw and rejoiced in him; And when he died, he sorrowed not:
父親在世時看見他便歡喜，臨終時也不憂愁。

ἐναντίον ἐχθρῶν κατέλιπεν ἔκδικον καὶ τοῖς φίλοις ἀνταποδιδόντα χάριν
He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, And one to requite kindness to his friends.

περιψύχων υἱὸν καταδεσμεύσει τραύματα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ πάσῃ βοῇ ταραχθήσεται σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ
He that makes too much of his son shall bind up his wounds; And his heart will be troubled at every cry.

ἵππος ἀδάμαστος ἐκβαίνει σκληρός καὶ υἱὸς ἀνειμένος ἐκβαίνει προαλής
An unbroken horse becomes stubborn; And a son left at large becomes headstrong.
未經馴服的馬必變得倔強，放任不管的兒子必變得任性。

τιθήνησον τέκνον καὶ ἐκθαμβήσει σε σύμπαιξον αὐτῷ καὶ λυπήσει σε
Cocker your child, and he shall make you afraid: Play with him, and he will grieve you.
嬌縱孩子，他必使你驚惶；與他嬉戲，他必使你憂愁。

μὴ συγγελάσῃς αὐτῷ ἵνα μὴ συνοδυνηθῇς καὶ ἐπ’ ἐσχάτων γομφιάσεις τοὺς ὀδόντας σου
Laugh not with him, lest you have sorrow with him; And you shall gnash your teeth in the end.
不要與他一同嬉笑，免得你與他一同憂傷，到末了咬牙切齒。
30:11
μὴ δῷς αὐτῷ ἐξουσίαν ἐν νεότητι
Give him no liberty in his youth, And wink not at his follies.
在他年幼時不要給他自由放縱。
30:12
θλάσον τὰς πλευρὰς αὐτοῦ ὡς ἔστιν νήπιος μήποτε σκληρυνθεὶς ἀπειθήσῃ σοι
Bow down his neck in his youth, And beat him on the sides while he is a child, Lest he wax stubborn, and be disobedient to you; And there shall be sorrow to your soul.
趁他年幼時管束他的言行，免得他變得剛硬而不順從你。

κρείσσων πτωχὸς ὑγιὴς καὶ ἰσχύων τῇ ἕξει ἢ πλούσιος μεμαστιγωμένος εἰς σῶμα αὐτοῦ
Better is a poor man, being sound and strong of constitution, Than a rich man that is plagued in his body.
身體強健的窮人，勝過體弱多病的富人。
30:15
ὑγίεια καὶ εὐεξία βελτίων παντὸς χρυσίου καὶ σῶμα εὔρωστον ἢ ὄλβος ἀμέτρητος
Health and a good constitution are better than all gold; And a strong body than wealth without measure.
健康與強壯的體格勝過一切金子，強健的身體勝過無量的財富。
30:16
οὐκ ἔστιν πλοῦτος βελτίων ὑγιείας σώματος καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν εὐφροσύνη ὑπὲρ χαρὰν καρδίας
There is no riches better than health of body; And there is no gladness above the joy of the heart.
沒有財富勝過身體的健康，沒有歡樂勝過內心的喜樂。
30:17
κρείσσων θάνατος ὑπὲρ ζωὴν πικρὰν καὶ ἀνάπαυσις αἰῶνος ἢ ἀρρώστημα ἔμμονον
Death is better than a bitter life, And eternal rest than a continual sickness.
死亡勝過愁苦的生命，永遠的安息勝過纏綿不愈的疾病。
30:18
ἀγαθὰ ἐκκεχυμένα ἐπὶ στόματι κεκλεισμένῳ θέματα βρωμάτων παρακείμενα ἐπὶ τάφῳ
Good things poured out upon a mouth that is closed Are as messes of meat laid upon a grave.
美物擺在閉著的口前，如同祭品擺在墳墓上。
30:19
τί συμφέρει κάρπωσις εἰδώλῳ οὔτε γὰρ ἔδεται οὔτε μὴ ὀσφρανθῇ οὕτως ὁ ἐκδιωκόμενος ὑπὸ κυρίου
What does an offering profit an idol? For neither shall it eat nor smell: So is he that is afflicted of the Lord,
祭物獻給偶像有什麼益處？因為偶像既不能喫，也不能聞；那被主棄絕的人也是如此。
30:20
βλέπων ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς καὶ στενάζων ὥσπερ εὐνοῦχος περιλαμβάνων παρθένον καὶ στενάζων
Seeing with his eyes and groaning, As an eunuch embracing a virgin and groaning.
他眼睜睜地看著卻只能歎息，如同太監抱著處女徒然歎息。
30:21
μὴ δῷς εἰς λύπην τὴν ψυχήν σου καὶ μὴ θλίψῃς σεαυτὸν ἐν βουλῇ σου
Give not over your soul to sorrow; And afflict not yourself in your own counsel.
不要把心交給憂愁，也不要用己意苦待自己。
30:22
εὐφροσύνη καρδίας ζωὴ ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἀγαλλίαμα ἀνδρὸς μακροημέρευσις
Gladness of heart is the life of a man; And the joyfulness of a man is length of days.
心中的喜樂是人的生命，人的歡欣使他延年益壽。
30:23
ἀπάτα τὴν ψυχήν σου καὶ παρακάλει τὴν καρδίαν σου καὶ λύπην μακρὰν ἀπόστησον ἀπὸ σοῦ πολλοὺς γὰρ ἀπώλεσεν ἡ λύπη καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὠφέλεια ἐν αὐτῇ
Love your own soul, and comfort your heart: And remove sorrow far from you; For sorrow has destroyed many, And there is no profit therein.
要寬待自己的心靈，安慰自己的心，使憂愁遠離你；因為憂愁毀了許多人，於人毫無益處。
30:24
ζῆλος καὶ θυμὸς ἐλαττοῦσιν ἡμέρας καὶ πρὸ καιροῦ γῆρας ἄγει μέριμνα
Envy and wrath shorten a man’s days; And care brings old age before the time.
嫉妒與忿怒減少人的年日，憂慮使人未到時候就衰老。
30:25
λαμπρὰ καρδία καὶ ἀγαθὴ ἐπὶ ἐδέσμασιν τῶν βρωμάτων αὐτῆς ἐπιμελήσεται
A cheerful and good heart Will have a care of his meat and diet.
開朗良善的心，必善加照管自己的飲食。
