ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

32:1
Rectorem te posuerunt ? noli extolli : esto in illis quasi unus ex ipsis.
Have they made you ruler of a feast? Be not lifted up, Be you among them as one of them; Take thought for them, and so sit down.
他們立你為筵席的主席嗎？不要自高；你在他們中間要如同他們的一員。先顧念他們，然後才入席。
32:2
Curam illorum habe, et sic conside, et omni cura tua explicita recumbe :
And when you have done all your office, take your place, That you may be gladdened on their account, And receive a crown for your well ordering.
等你盡了你一切的職責，才入座，好叫你因他們而歡喜，並因安排得宜而得着冠冕。

ut læteris propter illos, et ornamentum gratiæ accipias coronam, et dignationem consequaris corrogationis.
Speak, you that are the elder, for it becomes you, but with sound knowledge; And hinder not music.
年長的人哪，你說話吧，這是合宜的，但要憑著確切的見識，不要妨礙音樂。

Loquere major natu : decet enim te
Pour not out talk where there is a performance of music, And display not your wisdom out of season.
有人在奏樂的時候，不要傾倒言語；也不要不合時宜地賣弄智慧。

primum verbum diligenti scientia, et non impedias musicam.
As a signet of carbuncle in a setting of gold, So is a concert of music in a banquet of wine.

Ubi auditus non est, non effundas sermonem, et importune noli extolli in sapientia tua.
As a signet of emerald in a work of gold, So is a strain of music with pleasant wine.
金器上的綠寶石印戒怎樣，配著美酒的樂曲也怎樣。
32:7
Gemmula carbunculi in ornamento auri, et comparatio musicorum in convivio vini.
Speak, young man, if there be need of you; Yet scarcely if you be twice asked.
年輕人哪，若有需要你說話，你才說，就是被再三詢問時，也只略略開口。
32:8
Sicut in fabricatione auri signum est smaragdi, sic numerus musicorum in jucundo et moderato vino.
Sum up your speech, many things in few words; Be as one that knows and yet holds his tongue.
用少許話語總括許多事；要像知道卻同時緘默的人。

Audi tacens, et pro reverentia accedet tibi bona gratia.
If you be among great men, behave not as their equal; And when another is speaking, make not much babbling.

Adolescens, loquere in tua causa vix.
Before thunder speedeth lightning; And before a shamefast man favor shall go forth.

Si bis interrogatus fueris, habeat caput responsum tuum.
Rise up betimes, and be not the last; Get you home quickly and loiter not:
到了時候就起身，不要落在最後；快快回家去，不要遲延閒蕩。
32:12
In multis esto quasi inscius, et audi tacens simul et quærens.
There take your pastime, and do what is in your heart; And sin not by proud speech:
在那裡盡情玩樂，照你心中所想的去做，但不要因驕傲的言語而犯罪。
32:13
In medio magnatorum non præsumas : et ubi sunt senes non multum loquaris.
And for these things bless him that made you, And gives you to drink freely of his good things.
為這一切事，要稱頌那造你的主，就是那將祂的美物豐豐富富賜你暢飲的。
32:14
Ante grandinem præibit coruscatio : et ante verecundiam præibit gratia, et pro reverentia accedet tibi bona gratia.
He that fears the Lord will receive his discipline; And those who seek him early shall find favor.
敬畏主的，必領受祂的管教；那些清晨切切尋求祂的，必尋得祂的喜悅。
32:15
Et hora surgendi non te trices : præcurre autem prior in domum tuam, et illic avocare, et illic lude,
He that seeks the law shall be filled therewith: But the hypocrite shall stumble thereat.
尋求律法的人，必因律法得着飽足；偽善的人卻必在其中絆跌。

et age conceptiones tuas, et non in delictis et verbo superbo :
They that fear the Lord shall find judgement, And shall kindle righteous acts as a light.

et super his omnibus benedicito Dominum, qui fecit, et inebriantem te ab omnibus bonis suis.
A sinful man shunneth reproof, And will find a judgement according to his will.
有罪的人躲避責備，按自己的心意尋找對自己有利的論斷。
32:18
Qui timet Dominum excipiet doctrinam ejus : et qui vigilaverint ad illum invenient benedictionem.
A man of counsel will not neglect a thought; A strange and proud man will not crouch in fear, Even after he has done a thing by himself without counsel.
有計謀的人不會忽略思慮；狂妄驕傲的人卻不肯心存敬畏。

Qui quærit legem replebitur ab ea, et qui insidiose agit scandalizabitur in ea.
Do nothing without counsel; And when you have once done, repent not.
凡事沒有商議，不要去做；既已行了，就不要懊悔。

Qui timent Dominum invenient judicium justum, et justitias quasi lumen accendent.
Go not in a way of conflict; And stumble not in stony places.
