27:1
μὴ καυχῶ τὰ εἰς αὔριον οὐ γὰρ γινώσκεις τί τέξεται ἡ ἐπιοῦσα
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
ἐγκωμιαζέτω σε ὁ πέλας καὶ μὴ τὸ σὸν στόμα ἀλλότριος καὶ μὴ τὰ σὰ χείλη
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
βαρὺ λίθος καὶ δυσβάστακτον ἄμμος ὀργὴ δὲ ἄφρονος βαρυτέρα ἀμφοτέρων
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
ἀνελεήμων θυμὸς καὶ ὀξεῖα ὀργή ἀλλ’ οὐδένα ὑφίσταται ζῆλος
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
κρείσσους ἔλεγχοι ἀποκεκαλυμμένοι κρυπτομένης φιλίας
Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
當面的責備強如背地的愛情。
27:6
ἀξιοπιστότερά ἐστιν τραύματα φίλου ἢ ἑκούσια φιλήματα ἐχθροῦ
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
ψυχὴ ἐν πλησμονῇ οὖσα κηρίοις ἐμπαίζει ψυχῇ δὲ ἐνδεεῖ καὶ τὰ πικρὰ γλυκεῖα φαίνεται
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
ὥσπερ ὅταν ὄρνεον καταπετασθῇ ἐκ τῆς ἰδίας νοσσιᾶς οὕτως ἄνθρωπος δουλοῦται ὅταν ἀποξενωθῇ ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων τόπων
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
μύροις καὶ οἴνοις καὶ θυμιάμασιν τέρπεται καρδία καταρρήγνυται δὲ ὑπὸ συμπτωμάτων ψυχή
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
φίλον σὸν ἢ φίλον πατρῷον μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς εἰς δὲ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου μὴ εἰσέλθῃς ἀτυχῶν κρείσσων φίλος ἐγγὺς ἢ ἀδελφὸς μακρὰν οἰκῶν
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
σοφὸς γίνου υἱέ ἵνα εὐφραίνηταί μου ἡ καρδία καὶ ἀπόστρεψον ἀπὸ σοῦ ἐπονειδίστους λόγους
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
πανοῦργος κακῶν ἐπερχομένων ἀπεκρύβη ἄφρονες δὲ ἐπελθόντες ζημίαν τείσουσιν
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
ἀφελοῦ τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ παρῆλθεν γάρ ὑβριστὴς ὅστις τὰ ἀλλότρια λυμαίνεται
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
ὃς ἂν εὐλογῇ φίλον τὸ πρωὶ μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ καταρωμένου οὐδὲν διαφέρειν δόξει
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
σταγόνες ἐκβάλλουσιν ἄνθρωπον ἐν ἡμέρᾳ χειμερινῇ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ ὡσαύτως καὶ γυνὴ λοίδορος ἐκ τοῦ ἰδίου οἴκου
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
βορέας σκληρὸς ἄνεμος ὀνόματι δὲ ἐπιδέξιος καλεῖται
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
σίδηρος σίδηρον ὀξύνει ἀνὴρ δὲ παροξύνει πρόσωπον ἑταίρου
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
ὃς φυτεύει συκῆν φάγεται τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῆς ὃς δὲ φυλάσσει τὸν ἑαυτοῦ κύριον τιμηθήσεται
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
ὥσπερ οὐχ ὅμοια πρόσωπα προσώποις οὕτως οὐδὲ αἱ καρδίαι τῶν ἀνθρώπων
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
ᾅδης καὶ ἀπώλεια οὐκ ἐμπίμπλανται ὡσαύτως καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἄπληστοι βδέλυγμα κυρίῳ στηρίζων ὀφθαλμόν καὶ οἱ ἀπαίδευτοι ἀκρατεῖς γλώσσῃ
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
δοκίμιον ἀργύρῳ καὶ χρυσῷ πύρωσις ἀνὴρ δὲ δοκιμάζεται διὰ στόματος ἐγκωμιαζόντων αὐτόν καρδία ἀνόμου ἐκζητεῖ κακά καρδία δὲ εὐθὴς ἐκζητεῖ γνῶσιν
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
ἐὰν μαστιγοῖς ἄφρονα ἐν μέσῳ συνεδρίου ἀτιμάζων οὐ μὴ περιέλῃς τὴν ἀφροσύνην αὐτοῦ
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
γνωστῶς ἐπιγνώσῃ ψυχὰς ποιμνίου σου καὶ ἐπιστήσεις καρδίαν σου σαῖς ἀγέλαις
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
ὅτι οὐ τὸν αἰῶνα ἀνδρὶ κράτος καὶ ἰσχύς οὐδὲ παραδίδωσιν ἐκ γενεᾶς εἰς γενεάν
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
ἐπιμελοῦ τῶν ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ χλωρῶν καὶ κερεῖς πόαν καὶ σύναγε χόρτον ὀρεινόν
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
ἵνα ἔχῃς πρόβατα εἰς ἱματισμόν τίμα πεδίον ἵνα ὦσίν σοι ἄρνες
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
υἱέ παρ’ ἐμοῦ ἔχεις ῥήσεις ἰσχυρὰς εἰς τὴν ζωήν σου καὶ εἰς τὴν ζωὴν σῶν θεραπόντων
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。
