10:1
Judex sapiens judicabit populum suum , et principatus sensati stabilis erit .
A wise judge will instruct his people; And the government of a man of understanding will be well ordered.
智慧的審判官必教導他的百姓，有見識之人的治理必井然有序。
10:2
Secundum judicem populi , sic et ministri ejus : et qualis rector est civitatis , tales et inhabitantes in ea .
As is the judge of his people, so are his ministers; And as is the ruler of the city, such are all those who dwell therein.
百姓的審判官怎樣，他的官員也怎樣；城邑的治理者怎樣，城中的居民也都怎樣。
10:3
Rex insipiens perdet populum suum : et civitates inhabitabuntur per sensum potentium .
An uninstructed king will destroy his people; And a city will be established through the understanding of the powerful.
無學識的君王必毀滅他的百姓，城邑卻因有見識的權貴而得堅立。
10:4
In manu Dei potestas terræ : et utilem rectorem suscitabit in tempus super illam .
In the hand of the Lord is the authority of the earth; And in due time he will raise up over it one that is profitable.
地上的權柄在主的手中，他必按時興起合用的人治理。
10:5
In manu Dei prosperitas hominis , et super faciem scribæ imponet honorem suum .
In the hand of the Lord is the prosperity of a man; And upon the person of the scribe will he lay his honor.
人的興盛在乎主的手，他必將自己的尊榮加在文士身上。
10:6
Omnis injuriæ proximi ne memineris , et nihil agas in operibus injuriæ .
Be not angry with your neighbor for every wrong; And do nothing by works of violence.
不要因鄰舍的每件過錯就向他懷恨，也不要做任何凌辱人的暴行。
10:7
Odibilis coram Deo est et hominibus superbia , et execrabilis omnis iniquitas gentium .
Pride is hateful before the Lord and before men; And in the judgement of both will unrighteousness err.
驕傲在主與人面前都是可憎的，在兩者看來不義都是過犯。
10:8
Regnum a gente in gentem transfertur propter injustitias , et injurias , et contumelias , et diversos dolos .
Sovereignty is transferred from nation to nation, Because of iniquities, and deeds of violence, and greed of money.
國權因不義、暴行與貪財，從這國轉移到那國。
10:9
Avaro autem nihil est scelestius . Quid superbit terra et cinis ?
Why is earth and ashes proud? Because in his life he has cast away his bowels.
塵土與灰燼有什麼可驕傲的呢？因為人活著的時候已把自己的臟腑拋棄了。
10:10
Nihil est iniquius quam amare pecuniam : hic enim et animam suam venalem habet , quoniam in vita sua projecit intima sua .
It is a long disease; the physician mocketh: And he is a king today, and tomorrow he will die.
久病連醫生也嗤笑；今日是君王，明日就要死亡。
10:11
Omnis potentatus brevis vita ; languor prolixior gravat medicum .
For when a man is dead, He will inherit creeping things, and beasts, and worms.
因為人一死，所承受的便是爬蟲、走獸與蛆蟲。
10:12
Brevem languorem præcidit medicus : sic et rex hodie est , et cras morietur .
It is the beginning of pride when a man departs from the Lord; And his heart is departed from him that made him.
人驕傲的起頭，就是離棄主，他的心也離棄了造他的主。
10:13
Cum enim morietur homo , hæreditabit serpentes , et bestias , et vermes .
For the beginning of pride is sin; And he that keeps it will pour forth abomination. For this cause the Lord brought upon them strange calamities, And overthrew them utterly.
驕傲的起頭就是罪，持守驕傲的人必湧出可憎之事；因此主使他們遭受奇異的災禍，將他們徹底傾覆。
10:14
Initium superbiæ hominis apostatare a Deo :
The Lord cast down the thrones of rulers, And set the meek in their stead.
主推倒掌權者的寶座，使謙卑的人代之而坐。
10:15
quoniam ab eo qui fecit illum recessit cor ejus , quoniam initium omnis peccati est superbia . Qui tenuerit illam adimplebitur maledictis , et subvertet eum in finem .
The Lord plucked up the roots of nations, And planted the lowly in their stead.
主拔出列國的根，栽種卑微的人代之而立。
10:16
Propterea exhonoravit Dominus conventus malorum , et destruxit eos usque in finem .
The Lord overthrew the lands of nations, And destroyed them to the foundations of the earth.
主傾覆列國的疆土，將它們毀滅直到地的根基。
10:17
Sedes ducum superborum destruxit Deus , et sedere fecit mites pro eis .
He took some of them away, and destroyed them, And made their memorial to cease from the earth.
他從其中除滅他們，使他們消亡，使他們的紀念從地上止息。
10:18
Radices gentium superbarum arefecit Deus , et plantavit humiles ex ipsis gentibus .
Pride has not been created for men, Nor wrathful anger for the offspring of women.
驕傲原非為人受造，暴怒也非為婦人所生的後裔而設。
10:19
Terras gentium evertit Dominus , et perdidit eas usque ad fundamentum .
What manner of seed has honor? the seed of man. What manner of seed has honor? those who fear the Lord. What manner of seed has no honor? the seed of man. What manner of seed has no honor? those who transgress the commandments.
何種後裔有尊榮？人的後裔。何種後裔有尊榮？敬畏主的人。何種後裔無尊榮？人的後裔。何種後裔無尊榮？違背誡命的人。
10:20
Arefecit ex ipsis , et disperdidit eos , et cessare fecit memoriam eorum a terra .
In the midst of kindred he that rules them has honor; And in the eyes of the Lord those who fear him.
在弟兄之中，治理他們的人有尊榮；在主的眼中，敬畏他的人有尊榮。
10:21
Memoria superborum perdidit Deus , et reliquit memoriam humilium sensu .
God has destroyed the memory of the proud, and has preserved the memory of the lowly in mind.
神除滅了驕傲之人的紀念，卻保存了心存謙卑之人的紀念。
10:22
Non est creata hominibus superbia , neque iracundia nationi mulierum .
The rich man, and the honorable, and the poor, Their glorying is the fear of the Lord.
富足的、尊貴的、貧窮的，他們的誇耀都在乎敬畏主。
10:23
Semen hominum honorabitur hoc , quod timet Deum : semen autem hoc exhonorabitur , quod præterit mandata Domini .
It is not right to dishonor a poor man that has understanding; And it is not fitting to glorify a man that is a sinner.
羞辱有見識的窮人是不公義的，尊崇犯罪的人也是不相宜的。
10:24
In medio fratrum rector illorum in honore : et qui timent Dominum erunt in oculis illius .
The great man, and the judge, and the mighty man, will be glorified; And there is not one of them greater than he that fears the Lord.
權貴、審判官與掌權者必得尊榮，但他們中間沒有一個比敬畏主的人更大。
10:25
Gloria divitum , honoratorum , et pauperum , timor Dei est .
Free men will minister to a wise servant; And a man that has knowledge will not murmur thereat.
自由人必服事智慧的僕人，有見識的人必不為此發怨言。
10:26
Noli despicere hominem justum pauperem , et noli magnificare virum peccatorem divitem .
Be not over wise in doing your work; And glorify not yourself in the time of your distress.
作工時不要自作聰明，在你困迫之時也不要自我誇耀。
10:27
Magnus , et judex , et potens est in honore : et non est major illo qui timet Deum .
Better is he that labores, and abounds in all things, Than he that glorifieth himself, and lacketh bread.
勞力作工而凡事豐足的人，勝過自我誇耀卻缺乏食物的人。
10:28
Servo sensato liberi servient : et vir prudens et disciplinatus non murmurabit correptus , et inscius non honorabitur .
My son, glorify your soul in meekness, And give it honor according to the worthiness thereof.
孩子啊，要以謙遜榮耀你的心靈，按它應得的尊貴待它。
10:29
Noli extollere te in faciendo opere tuo , et noli cunctari in tempore angustiæ .
Who will justify him that sins against his own soul? And who will glorify him that dishonors his own life?
得罪自己心靈的人，誰能稱他為義？輕看自己生命的人，誰能尊榮他？
10:30
Melior est qui operatur et abundat in omnibus , quam qui gloriatur et eget pane .
A poor man is glorified for his knowledge; And a rich man is glorified for his riches.
窮人因他的知識而得尊榮，富人因他的財富而得尊榮。
10:31
Fili , in mansuetudine serva animam tuam , et da illi honorem secundum meritum suum .
But he that is glorified in poverty, how much more in riches? And he that is inglorious in riches, how much more in poverty?
在貧窮中尚且得尊榮的人，在富足中豈不更甚？在富足中尚且無尊榮的人，在貧窮中豈不更甚？
