κρείσσων ἀνὴρ ἐλέγχων ἀνδρὸς σκληροτραχήλου ἐξαπίνης γὰρ φλεγομένου αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις
He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.
人屢次受責罰,仍然硬着頸項; 他必頃刻敗壞,無法可治。
29:2
ἐγκωμιαζομένων δικαίων εὐφρανθήσονται λαοί ἀρχόντων δὲ ἀσεβῶν στένουσιν ἄνδρες
When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
義人增多,民就喜樂; 惡人掌權,民就歎息。
29:3
ἀνδρὸς φιλοῦντος σοφίαν εὐφραίνεται πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ὃς δὲ ποιμαίνει πόρνας ἀπολεῖ πλοῦτον
Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father; but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

βασιλεὺς δίκαιος ἀνίστησιν χώραν ἀνὴρ δὲ παράνομος κατασκάπτει

ἁμαρτάνοντι ἀνδρὶ μεγάλη παγίς δίκαιος δὲ ἐν χαρᾷ καὶ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ ἔσται
An evil man is snared by his sin, but the righteous can sing and be glad.
惡人犯罪,自陷網羅; 惟獨義人歡呼喜樂。

ἐπίσταται δίκαιος κρίνειν πενιχροῖς ὁ δὲ ἀσεβὴς οὐ συνήσει γνῶσιν καὶ πτωχῷ οὐχ ὑπάρχει νοῦς ἐπιγνώμων
The righteous care about justice for the poor. The wicked aren’t concerned about knowledge.
義人知道查明窮人的案; 惡人沒有聰明,就不得而知。
29:8
ἄνδρες λοιμοὶ ἐξέκαυσαν πόλιν σοφοὶ δὲ ἀπέστρεψαν ὀργήν
Mockers stir up a city, but wise men turn away anger.
褻慢人煽惑通城; 智慧人止息眾怒。
29:9
ἀνὴρ σοφὸς κρίνει ἔθνη ἀνὴρ δὲ φαῦλος ὀργιζόμενος καταγελᾶται καὶ οὐ καταπτήσσει
If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man, the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.

δανιστοῦ καὶ χρεοφειλέτου ἀλλήλοις συνελθόντων ἐπισκοπὴν ποιεῖται ἀμφοτέρων ὁ κύριος

貧窮人、強暴人在世相遇; 他們的眼目都蒙耶和華光照。

βασιλέως ἐν ἀληθείᾳ κρίνοντος πτωχοὺς ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ εἰς μαρτύριον κατασταθήσεται

πληγαὶ καὶ ἔλεγχοι διδόασιν σοφίαν παῖς δὲ πλανώμενος αἰσχύνει γονεῖς αὐτοῦ
The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.

οὐ μὴ ὑπάρξῃ ἐξηγητὴς ἔθνει παρανόμῳ ὁ δὲ φυλάσσων τὸν νόμον μακαριστός
Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but one who keeps the law is blessed.
沒有異象 ,民就放肆; 惟遵守律法的,便為有福。

ἐὰν ἴδῃς ἄνδρα ταχὺν ἐν λόγοις γίνωσκε ὅτι ἐλπίδα ἔχει μᾶλλον ἄφρων αὐτοῦ

φοβηθέντες καὶ αἰσχυνθέντες ἀνθρώπους ὑπεσκελίσθησαν ὁ δὲ πεποιθὼς ἐπὶ κύριον εὐφρανθήσεται ἀσέβεια ἀνδρὶ δίδωσιν σφάλμα ὃς δὲ πέποιθεν ἐπὶ τῷ δεσπότῃ σωθήσεται
The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe.
懼怕人的,陷入網羅; 惟有倚靠耶和華的,必得安穩。
