27:1
Ne glorieris in crastinum , ignorans quid superventura pariat dies .
Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.
不要為明日自誇， 因為一日要生何事，你尚且不能知道。
27:2
Laudet te alienus , et non os tuum ; extraneus , et non labia tua .
Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
要別人誇獎你，不可用口自誇； 等外人稱讚你，不可用嘴自稱。
27:3
Grave est saxum , et onerosa arena , sed ira stulti utroque gravior .
A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
石頭重，沙土沉， 愚妄人的惱怒比這兩樣更重。
27:4
Ira non habet misericordiam nec erumpens furor , et impetum concitati ferre quis poterit ?
Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
忿怒為殘忍，怒氣為狂瀾， 惟有嫉妒，誰能敵得住呢？
27:5
Melior est manifesta correptio quam amor absconditus .
Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
當面的責備強如背地的愛情。
27:6
Meliora sunt vulnera diligentis quam fraudulenta oscula odientis .
The wounds of a friend are faithful, although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
朋友加的傷痕出於忠誠； 仇敵連連親嘴卻是多餘。
27:7
Anima saturata calcabit favum , et anima esuriens etiam amarum pro dulci sumet .
A full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
人吃飽了，厭惡蜂房的蜜； 人飢餓了，一切苦物都覺甘甜。
27:8
Sicut avis transmigrans de nido suo , sic vir qui derelinquit locum suum .
As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.
人離本處飄流， 好像雀鳥離窩遊飛。
27:9
Unguento et variis odoribus delectatur cor , et bonis amici consiliis anima dulcoratur .
Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
膏油與香料使人心喜悅； 朋友誠實的勸教也是如此甘美。
27:10
Amicum tuum et amicum patris tui ne dimiseris , et domum fratris tui ne ingrediaris in die afflictionis tuae . Melior est vicinus juxta quam frater procul .
Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend. Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster. A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.
你的朋友和父親的朋友， 你都不可離棄。 你遭難的日子，不要上弟兄的家去； 相近的鄰舍強如遠方的弟兄。
27:11
Stude sapientiae , fili mi , et laetifica cor meum , ut possis exprobranti respondere sermonem .
Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.
我兒，你要作智慧人，好叫我的心歡喜， 使我可以回答那譏誚我的人。
27:12
Astutus videns malum , absconditus est : parvuli transeuntes sustinuerunt dispendia .
A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
通達人見禍藏躲； 愚蒙人前往受害。
27:13
Tolle vestimentum ejus qui spopondit pro extraneo , et pro alienis aufer ei pignus .
Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman!
誰為生人作保，就拿誰的衣服； 誰為外女作保，誰就承當。
27:14
Qui benedicit proximo suo voce grandi , de nocte consurgens maledicenti similis erit .
He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse by him.
清晨起來，大聲給朋友祝福的， 就算是咒詛他。
27:15
Tecta perstillantia in die frigoris et litigiosa mulier comparantur .
A continual dropping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike:
大雨之日連連滴漏， 和爭吵的婦人一樣；
27:16
Qui retinet eam quasi qui ventum teneat , et oleum dexterae suae vocabit .
restraining her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his right hand.
想攔阻她的，便是攔阻風， 也是右手抓油。
27:17
Ferrum ferro exacuitur , et homo exacuit faciem amici sui .
Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.
鐵磨鐵，磨出刃來； 朋友相感 也是如此。
27:18
Qui servat ficum comedet fructus ejus , et qui custos est domini sui glorificabitur .
Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit. He who looks after his master shall be honored.
看守無花果樹的，必吃樹上的果子； 敬奉主人的，必得尊榮。
27:19
Quomodo in aquis resplendent vultus prospicientium , sic corda hominum manifesta sunt prudentibus .
Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.
水中照臉，彼此相符； 人與人，心也相對。
27:20
Infernus et perditio numquam implentur : similiter et oculi hominum insatiabiles .
Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.
陰間和滅亡永不滿足； 人的眼目也是如此。
27:21
Quomodo probatur in conflatorio argentum et in fornace aurum , sic probatur homo ore laudantis . Cor iniqui inquirit mala , cor autem rectum inquirit scientiam .
The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.
鼎為煉銀，爐為煉金， 人的稱讚也試煉人。
27:22
Si contuderis stultum in pila quasi ptisanas feriente desuper pilo , non auferetur ab eo stultitia ejus .
Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.
你雖用杵將愚妄人與打碎的麥子一同搗在臼中， 他的愚妄還是離不了他。
27:23
Diligenter agnosce vultum pecoris tui , tuosque greges considera :
Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds,
你要詳細知道你羊群的景況， 留心料理你的牛群；
27:24
non enim habebis jugiter potestatem , sed corona tribuetur in generationem et generationem .
for riches are not forever, nor does the crown endure to all generations.
因為資財不能永有， 冠冕豈能存到萬代？
27:25
Aperta sunt prata , et apparuerunt herbae virentes , et collecta sunt foena de montibus .
The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, the grasses of the hills are gathered in.
乾草割去，嫩草發現， 山上的菜蔬也被收斂。
27:26
Agni ad vestimentum tuum , et haedi ad agri pretium .
The lambs are for your clothing, and the goats are the price of a field.
羊羔之毛是為你作衣服； 山羊是為作田地的價值，
27:27
Sufficiat tibi lac caprarum in cibos tuos , et in necessaria domus tuae , et ad victum ancillis tuis .
There will be plenty of goats’ milk for your food, for your family’s food, and for the nourishment of your servant girls.
並有母山羊奶夠你吃， 也夠你的家眷吃， 且夠養你的婢女。
