19:3
ἀφροσύνη ἀνδρὸς λυμαίνεται τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ τὸν δὲ θεὸν αἰτιᾶται τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ
The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against Yahweh.
人的愚昧傾敗他的道; 他的心也抱怨耶和華。
19:4
πλοῦτος προστίθησιν φίλους πολλούς δὲ πτωχὸς καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑπάρχοντος φίλου λείπεται
Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.
財物使朋友增多; 但窮人朋友遠離。
19:5
μάρτυς ψευδὴς οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται δὲ ἐγκαλῶν ἀδίκως οὐ διαφεύξεται
A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
作假見證的,必不免受罰; 吐出謊言的,終不能逃脫。
19:6
πολλοὶ θεραπεύουσιν πρόσωπα βασιλέων πᾶς δὲ κακὸς γίνεται ὄνειδος ἀνδρί
Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
好施散的,有多人求他的恩情; 愛送禮的,人都為他的朋友。
19:7
πᾶς ὃς ἀδελφὸν πτωχὸν μισεῖ καὶ φιλίας μακρὰν ἔσται ἔννοια ἀγαθὴ τοῖς εἰδόσιν αὐτὴν ἐγγιεῖ ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος εὑρήσει αὐτήν πολλὰ κακοποιῶν τελεσιουργεῖ κακίαν ὃς δὲ ἐρεθίζει λόγους οὐ σωθήσεται
All the relatives of the poor shun him; how much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
貧窮人,弟兄都恨他; 何況他的朋友,更遠離他! 他用言語追隨,他們卻走了。
19:8
κτώμενος φρόνησιν ἀγαπᾷ ἑαυτόν ὃς δὲ φυλάσσει φρόνησιν εὑρήσει ἀγαθά
He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
得着智慧的,愛惜生命; 保守聰明的,必得好處。
19:9
μάρτυς ψευδὴς οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται ὃς δ’ ἂν ἐκκαύσῃ κακίαν ἀπολεῖται ὑπ’ αὐτῆς
A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.
作假見證的,不免受罰; 吐出謊言的,也必滅亡。
19:10
οὐ συμφέρει ἄφρονι τρυφή καὶ ἐὰν οἰκέτης ἄρξηται μεθ’ ὕβρεως δυναστεύειν
Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
愚昧人宴樂度日是不合宜的; 何況僕人管轄王子呢?
19:11
ἐλεήμων ἀνὴρ μακροθυμεῖ τὸ δὲ καύχημα αὐτοῦ ἐπέρχεται παρανόμοις
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
人有見識就不輕易發怒; 寬恕人的過失便是自己的榮耀。
19:12
βασιλέως ἀπειλὴ ὁμοία βρυγμῷ λέοντος ὥσπερ δὲ δρόσος ἐπὶ χόρτῳ οὕτως τὸ ἱλαρὸν αὐτοῦ
The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
王的忿怒好像獅子吼叫; 他的恩典卻如草上的甘露。
19:13
αἰσχύνη πατρὶ υἱὸς ἄφρων καὶ οὐχ ἁγναὶ εὐχαὶ ἀπὸ μισθώματος ἑταίρας
A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.
愚昧的兒子是父親的禍患; 妻子的爭吵如雨連連滴漏。
19:14
οἶκον καὶ ὕπαρξιν μερίζουσιν πατέρες παισίν παρὰ δὲ θεοῦ ἁρμόζεται γυνὴ ἀνδρί
House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Yahweh.
房屋錢財是祖宗所遺留的; 惟有賢慧的妻是耶和華所賜的。
19:15
δειλία κατέχει ἀνδρογύναιον ψυχὴ δὲ ἀεργοῦ πεινάσει

Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death.
趁有指望,管教你的兒子; 你的心不可任他死亡。

κακόφρων ἀνὴρ πολλὰ ζημιωθήσεται ἐὰν δὲ λοιμεύηται καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ προσθήσει

πολλοὶ λογισμοὶ ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀνδρός δὲ βουλὴ τοῦ κυρίου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει
There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail.
人心多有計謀; 惟有耶和華的籌算才能立定。
19:22
καρπὸς ἀνδρὶ ἐλεημοσύνη κρείσσων δὲ πτωχὸς δίκαιος πλούσιος ψεύστης

λοιμοῦ μαστιγουμένου ἄφρων πανουργότερος γίνεται ἐὰν δὲ ἐλέγχῃς ἄνδρα φρόνιμον νοήσει αἴσθησιν
Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

υἱὸς ἀπολειπόμενος φυλάξαι παιδείαν πατρὸς μελετήσει ῥήσεις κακάς
