13:1
Filius sapiens doctrina patris ; qui autem illusor est non audit cum arguitur.
A wise son listens to his father’s instruction, but a scoffer doesn’t listen to rebuke.
智慧子聽父親的教訓； 褻慢人不聽責備。
13:2
De fructu oris sui homo satiabitur bonis : anima autem praevaricatorum iniqua.
By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things, but the unfaithful crave violence.
人因口所結的果子，必享美福； 奸詐人必遭強暴。
13:3
Qui custodit os suum custodit animam suam ; qui autem inconsideratus est ad loquendum, sentiet mala.
He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
謹守口的，得保生命； 大張嘴的，必致敗亡。
13:4
Vult et non vult piger ; anima autem operantium impinguabitur.
The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.
懶惰人羨慕，卻無所得； 殷勤人必得豐裕。
13:5
Verbum mendax justus detestabitur ; impius autem confundit, et confundetur.
A righteous man hates lies, but a wicked man brings shame and disgrace.

13:6
Justitia custodit innocentis viam, impietas autem peccatorem supplantat.
Righteousness guards the way of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
行為正直的，有公義保守； 犯罪的，被邪惡傾覆。
13:7
Est quasi dives, cum nihil habeat, et est quasi pauper, cum in multis divitiis sit.
There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.
假作富足的，卻一無所有； 裝作窮乏的，卻廣有財物。
13:8
Redemptio animae viri divitiae suae ; qui autem pauper est, increpationem non sustinet.
The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, but the poor hear no threats.
人的資財是他生命的贖價； 窮乏人卻聽不見威嚇的話。
13:9
Lux justorum laetificat : lucerna autem impiorum extinguetur.
The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
義人的光明亮 ； 惡人的燈要熄滅。
13:10
Inter superbos semper jurgia sunt ; qui autem agunt omnia cum consilio, reguntur sapientia.
Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is with people who take advice.
驕傲只啟爭競； 聽勸言的，卻有智慧。
13:11
Substantia festinata minuetur ; quae autem paulatim colligitur manu, multiplicabitur.
Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.
不勞而得之財必然消耗； 勤勞積蓄的，必見加增。
13:12
Spes quae differtur affligit animam ; lignum vitae desiderium veniens.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
所盼望的遲延未得，令人心憂； 所願意的臨到，卻是生命樹。
13:13
Qui detrahit alicui rei, ipse se in futurum obligat ; qui autem timet praeceptum, in pace versabitur. Animae dolosae errant in peccatis : justi autem misericordes sunt, et miserantur.
Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command will be rewarded.
藐視訓言的，自取滅亡； 敬畏誡命的，必得善報。
13:14
Lex sapientis fons vitae, ut declinet a ruina mortis.
The teaching of the wise is a spring of life, to turn from the snares of death.
智慧人的法則 是生命的泉源， 可以使人離開死亡的網羅。
13:15
Doctrina bona dabit gratiam ; in itinere contemptorum vorago.
Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard.
美好的聰明使人蒙恩； 奸詐人的道路崎嶇難行。
13:16
Astutus omnia agit cum consilio ; qui autem fatuus est aperit stultitiam.
Every prudent man acts from knowledge, but a fool exposes folly.
凡通達人都憑知識行事； 愚昧人張揚自己的愚昧。
13:17
Nuntius impii cadet in malum ; legatus autem fidelis, sanitas.
A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy envoy gains healing.
奸惡的使者必陷在禍患裏； 忠信的使臣乃醫人的良藥。

Egestas et ignominia ei qui deserit disciplinam ; qui autem acquiescit arguenti glorificabitur.
Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, but he who heeds correction shall be honored.
棄絕管教的，必致貧受辱； 領受責備的，必得尊榮。
13:19
Desiderium si compleatur delectat animam ; detestantur stulti eos qui fugiunt mala.
Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil.
所欲的成就，心覺甘甜； 遠離惡事，為愚昧人所憎惡。
13:20
Qui cum sapientibus graditur sapiens erit ; amicus stultorum similis efficietur.
One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
與智慧人同行的，必得智慧； 和愚昧人作伴的，必受虧損。

Peccatores persequitur malum, et justis retribuentur bona.
Misfortune pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous.
禍患追趕罪人； 義人必得善報。

Bonus reliquit haeredes filios et nepotes, et custoditur justo substantia peccatoris.
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.

Multi cibi in novalibus patrum, et aliis congregantur absque judicio.

13:24
Qui parcit virgae odit filium suum ; qui autem diligit illum instanter erudit.
One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.
不忍用杖打兒子的，是恨惡他； 疼愛兒子的，隨時管教。
13:25
Justus comedit et replet animam suam ; venter autem impiorum insaturabilis.
The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.
義人吃得飽足； 惡人肚腹缺糧。
