10:1
זְב֣וּבֵי מָ֔וֶת יַבְאִ֥ישׁ יַבִּ֖יעַ שֶׁ֣מֶן רוֹקֵ֑חַ יָקָ֛ר מֵחׇכְמָ֥ה מִכָּב֖וֹד סִכְל֥וּת מְעָֽט ׃
Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to produce an evil odor; so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.
死蒼蠅使做香的膏油發出臭氣； 這樣，一點愚昧也能敗壞智慧和尊榮。
10:2
לֵ֤ב חָכָם֙ לִֽימִינ֔וֹ וְלֵ֥ב כְּסִ֖יל לִשְׂמֹאלֽוֹ ׃
A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left.
智慧人的心居右； 愚昧人的心居左。
10:3
וְגַם ־בַּדֶּ֛רֶךְ (כשהסכל ) [כְּשֶׁסָּכָ֥ל ] הֹלֵ֖ךְ לִבּ֣וֹ חָסֵ֑ר וְאָמַ֥ר לַכֹּ֖ל סָכָ֥ל הֽוּא ׃
Yes also when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.
並且愚昧人行路顯出無知， 對眾人說，他是愚昧人。
10:4
אִם ־ר֤וּחַ הַמּוֹשֵׁל֙ תַּעֲלֶ֣ה עָלֶ֔יךָ מְקוֹמְךָ֖ אַל ־תַּנַּ֑ח כִּ֣י מַרְפֵּ֔א יַנִּ֖יחַ חֲטָאִ֥ים גְּדוֹלִֽים ׃
If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don’t leave your place; for gentleness lays great offenses to rest.
掌權者的心若向你發怒， 不要離開你的本位， 因為柔和能免大過。
10:5
יֵ֣שׁ רָעָ֔ה רָאִ֖יתִי תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ כִּשְׁגָגָ֕ה שֶׁיֹּצָ֖א מִלִּפְנֵ֥י הַשַּׁלִּֽיט ׃
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, the sort of error which proceeds from the ruler.
我見日光之下有一件禍患， 似乎出於掌權的錯誤，
10:6
נִתַּ֣ן הַסֶּ֔כֶל בַּמְּרוֹמִ֖ים רַבִּ֑ים וַעֲשִׁירִ֖ים בַּשֵּׁ֥פֶל יֵשֵֽׁבוּ ׃
Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.
就是愚昧人立在高位； 富足人坐在低位。
10:7
רָאִ֥יתִי עֲבָדִ֖ים עַל ־סוּסִ֑ים וְשָׂרִ֛ים הֹלְכִ֥ים כַּעֲבָדִ֖ים עַל ־הָאָֽרֶץ ׃
I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking like servants on the earth.
我見過僕人騎馬， 王子像僕人在地上步行。
10:8
חֹפֵ֥ר גּוּמָּ֖ץ בּ֣וֹ יִפּ֑וֹל וּפֹרֵ֥ץ גָּדֵ֖ר יִשְּׁכֶ֥נּוּ נָחָֽשׁ ׃
He who digs a pit may fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.
挖陷坑的，自己必掉在其中； 拆牆垣的，必為蛇所咬。
10:9
מַסִּ֣יעַ אֲבָנִ֔ים יֵעָצֵ֖ב בָּהֶ֑ם בּוֹקֵ֥עַ עֵצִ֖ים יִסָּ֥כֶן בָּֽם ׃
Whoever carves out stones may be injured by them. Whoever splits wood may be endangered by it.
鑿開 石頭的，必受損傷； 劈開木頭的，必遭危險。
10:10
אִם ־קֵהָ֣ה הַבַּרְזֶ֗ל וְהוּא֙ לֹא ־פָנִ֣ים קִלְקַ֔ל וַחֲיָלִ֖ים יְגַבֵּ֑ר וְיִתְר֥וֹן הַכְשֵׁ֖יר חׇכְמָֽה ׃
If the ax is blunt, and one doesn’t sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success.
鐵器鈍了，若不將刃磨快，就必多費氣力； 但得智慧指教，便有益處。
10:11
אִם ־יִשֹּׁ֥ךְ הַנָּחָ֖שׁ בְּלוֹא ־לָ֑חַשׁ וְאֵ֣ין יִתְר֔וֹן לְבַ֖עַל הַלָּשֽׁוֹן ׃
If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue.
未行法術以先，蛇若咬人， 後行法術也是無益。
10:12
דִּבְרֵ֥י פִי ־חָכָ֖ם חֵ֑ן וְשִׂפְת֥וֹת כְּסִ֖יל תְּבַלְּעֶֽנּוּ ׃
The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.
智慧人的口說出恩言； 愚昧人的嘴吞滅自己。
10:13
תְּחִלַּ֥ת דִּבְרֵי ־פִ֖יהוּ סִכְל֑וּת וְאַחֲרִ֣ית פִּ֔יהוּ הוֹלֵל֖וּת רָעָֽה ׃
The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
他口中的言語起頭是愚昧； 他話的末尾是奸惡的狂妄。
10:14
וְהַסָּכָ֖ל יַרְבֶּ֣ה דְבָרִ֑ים לֹא ־יֵדַ֤ע הָאָדָם֙ מַה ־שֶּׁיִּֽהְיֶ֔ה וַאֲשֶׁ֤ר יִֽהְיֶה֙ מֵֽאַחֲרָ֔יו מִ֖י יַגִּ֥יד לֽוֹ ׃
A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?
愚昧人多有言語， 人卻不知將來有甚麼事； 他身後的事誰能告訴他呢？
10:15
עֲמַ֥ל הַכְּסִילִ֖ים תְּיַגְּעֶ֑נּוּ אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא ־יָדַ֖ע לָלֶ֥כֶת אֶל ־עִֽיר ׃
The labor of fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn’t know how to go to the city.
凡愚昧人，他的勞碌使自己困乏， 因為連進城的路，他也不知道。
10:16
אִֽי ־לָ֣ךְ אֶ֔רֶץ שֶׁמַּלְכֵּ֖ךְ נָ֑עַר וְשָׂרַ֖יִךְ בַּבֹּ֥קֶר יֹאכֵֽלוּ ׃
Woe to you, land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!
邦國啊，你的王若是孩童， 你的群臣早晨宴樂， 你就有禍了！
10:17
אַשְׁרֵ֣יךְ אֶ֔רֶץ שֶׁמַּלְכֵּ֖ךְ בֶּן ־חוֹרִ֑ים וְשָׂרַ֙יִךְ֙ בָּעֵ֣ת יֹאכֵ֔לוּ בִּגְבוּרָ֖ה וְלֹ֥א בַשְּׁתִֽי ׃
Happy are you, land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
邦國啊，你的王若是貴冑之子， 你的群臣按時吃喝， 為要補力，不為酒醉， 你就有福了！
10:18
בַּעֲצַלְתַּ֖יִם יִמַּ֣ךְ הַמְּקָרֶ֑ה וּבְשִׁפְל֥וּת יָדַ֖יִם יִדְלֹ֥ף הַבָּֽיִת ׃
By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.
因人懶惰，房頂塌下； 因人手懶，房屋滴漏。
10:19
לִשְׂחוֹק֙ עֹשִׂ֣ים לֶ֔חֶם וְיַ֖יִן יְשַׂמַּ֣ח חַיִּ֑ים וְהַכֶּ֖סֶף יַעֲנֶ֥ה אֶת ־הַכֹּֽל ׃
A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes the life glad; and money is the answer for all things.
設擺筵席是為喜笑。 酒能使人快活； 錢能叫萬事應心。
10:20
גַּ֣ם בְּמַדָּֽעֲךָ֗ מֶ֚לֶךְ אַל ־תְּקַלֵּ֔ל וּבְחַדְרֵי֙ מִשְׁכָּ֣בְךָ֔ אַל ־תְּקַלֵּ֖ל עָשִׁ֑יר כִּ֣י ע֤וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ יוֹלִ֣יךְ אֶת ־הַקּ֔וֹל וּבַ֥עַל (הכנפים ) [כְּנָפַ֖יִם ] יַגֵּ֥יד דָּבָֽר ׃
Don’t curse the king, no, not in your thoughts; and don’t curse the rich in your bedroom, for a bird of the sky may carry your voice, and that which has wings may tell the matter.
你不可咒詛君王， 也不可心懷此念； 在你臥房也不可咒詛富戶。 因為空中的鳥必傳揚這聲音， 有翅膀的也必述說這事。
