26:1
γυναικὸς ἀγαθῆς μακάριος ἀνήρ καὶ ἀριθμὸς τῶν ἡμερῶν αὐτοῦ διπλάσιος
Happy is the husband of a good wife; And the number of his days will be twofold.
有賢妻的丈夫是有福的,他的年日必加倍。
26:2
γυνὴ ἀνδρεία εὐφραίνει τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ ἔτη αὐτοῦ πληρώσει ἐν εἰρήνῃ
A brave woman rejoices her husband; And he will fulfil his years in peace.
賢德的妻子使丈夫歡喜,他必在平安中度盡年歲。
26:3
γυνὴ ἀγαθὴ μερὶς ἀγαθή ἐν μερίδι φοβουμένων κύριον δοθήσεται
A good wife is a good portion: She will be given in the portion of such as fear the Lord.
賢妻是美好的分,必賜給敬畏主的人為分。
26:4
πλουσίου δὲ καὶ πτωχοῦ καρδία ἀγαθή ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ πρόσωπον ἱλαρόν
Whether a man be rich or poor, A good heart makes at all times a cheerful countenance.
人無論貧富,存美善之心便能時常面帶喜色。
26:5
ἀπὸ τριῶν εὐλαβήθη καρδία μου καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ τετάρτῳ προσώπῳ ἐδεήθην διαβολὴν πόλεως καὶ ἐκκλησίαν ὄχλου καὶ καταψευσμόν ὑπὲρ θάνατον πάντα μοχθηρά
Of three things my heart was afraid; And concerning the fourth kind I made supplication: The slander of a city, and the assembly of a multitude, and a false accusation: All these are more grievous than death.
有三樣事使我心懼怕,第四樣使我懇切祈求:城中的毀謗、羣眾的聚集、虛假的指控;這一切都比死更難當。
26:6
ἄλγος καρδίας καὶ πένθος γυνὴ ἀντίζηλος ἐπὶ γυναικὶ καὶ μάστιξ γλώσσης πᾶσιν ἐπικοινωνοῦσα
A grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous of another woman, And the scourge of a tongue communicating to all.
嫉妒別的女子的妻子,是心頭之痛與憂傷,又是向眾人傳布的舌頭之災。
26:7
βοοζύγιον σαλευόμενον γυνὴ πονηρά κρατῶν αὐτῆς ὡς δρασσόμενος σκορπίου
A wicked woman is as a yoke of oxen shaken to and fro: He that takes hold of her is as one that graspeth a scorpion.
惡毒的妻子如同搖晃不定的牛軛,駕馭她的如同抓住蠍子的人。
26:8
ὀργὴ μεγάλη γυνὴ μέθυσος καὶ ἀσχημοσύνην αὐτῆς οὐ συγκαλύψει
A drunken woman causes great wrath; And she will not cover her own shame.
醉酒的婦人惹起極大的忿怒,必不遮掩自己的羞恥。
26:9
πορνεία γυναικὸς ἐν μετεωρισμοῖς ὀφθαλμῶν καὶ ἐν τοῖς βλεφάροις αὐτῆς γνωσθήσεται
The whoredom of a woman is in the lifting up of her eyes; And it will be known by her eyelids.
婦人的淫蕩可從她高舉的眼目看出,也可從她的眼瞼辨明。
26:10
ἐπὶ θυγατρὶ ἀδιατρέπτῳ στερέωσον φυλακήν ἵνα μὴ εὑροῦσα ἄνεσιν ἑαυτῇ χρήσηται
Keep strict watch on a headstrong daughter, Lest she find liberty for herself, and use it.
對任性的女兒要嚴加看守,免得她一得放縱,便為自己濫用。
26:11
ὀπίσω ἀναιδοῦς ὀφθαλμοῦ φύλαξαι καὶ μὴ θαυμάσῃς ἐὰν εἰς σὲ πλημμελήσῃ
Look well after an impudent eye; And marvel not if it trespass against you.
要慎防無恥的眼目,若她得罪你,也不要驚奇。
26:12
ὡς διψῶν ὁδοιπόρος τὸ στόμα ἀνοίξει καὶ ἀπὸ παντὸς ὕδατος τοῦ σύνεγγυς πίεται κατέναντι παντὸς πασσάλου καθήσεται καὶ ἔναντι βέλους ἀνοίξει φαρέτραν
She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveller, And drink of every water that is near: At every post will she sit down, And open her quiver against any arrow.
她必像口渴的旅人張口,喝盡近旁的各樣水;她在各橛子前坐下,向各樣箭打開箭袋。
26:13
χάρις γυναικὸς τέρψει τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ πιανεῖ ἐπιστήμη αὐτῆς
The grace of a wife will delight her husband; And her knowledge will fatten his bones.
妻子的恩惠使丈夫歡愉,她的學識使他骨頭強健。
26:14
δόσις κυρίου γυνὴ σιγηρά καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀντάλλαγμα πεπαιδευμένης ψυχῆς
A silent woman is a gift of the Lord; And there is nothing so much worth as a well-instructed soul.
沉靜的婦人是主所賜的,受過良好教養的心靈是無可比擬的。
26:15
χάρις ἐπὶ χάριτι γυνὴ αἰσχυντηρά καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν σταθμὸς πᾶς ἄξιος ἐγκρατοῦς ψυχῆς
A shamefast woman is grace upon grace; And there is no price worthy of a continent soul.
知羞的婦人是恩上加恩,自守的心靈是無價可衡量的。
26:16
ἥλιος ἀνατέλλων ἐν ὑψίστοις κυρίου καὶ κάλλος ἀγαθῆς γυναικὸς ἐν κόσμῳ οἰκίας αὐτῆς
As the sun when it arises in the highest places of the Lord, So is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of a man’s house.
如同日頭升在主的高處,賢妻的美麗也照樣顯在她整齊的家中。
26:17
λύχνος ἐκλάμπων ἐπὶ λυχνίας ἁγίας καὶ κάλλος προσώπου ἐπὶ ἡλικίᾳ στασίμῃ
As the lamp that shineth upon the holy candlestick, So is the beauty of the face in ripe age.
如同明燈照在聖潔的燈臺上,盛年之時面容的美麗也是如此。
26:18
στῦλοι χρύσεοι ἐπὶ βάσεως ἀργυρᾶς καὶ πόδες ὡραῖοι ἐπὶ στέρνοις εὐσταθοῦς
As the golden pillars are upon a base of silver, So are beautiful feet with the breasts of one that is stedfast.
如同金柱立在銀座之上,端莊之人的美足也是如此。
26:28
ἐπὶ δυσὶ λελύπηται καρδία μου καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ τρίτῳ θυμός μοι ἐπῆλθεν ἀνὴρ πολεμιστὴς ὑστερῶν δῑ ἔνδειαν καὶ ἄνδρες συνετοὶ ἐὰν σκυβαλισθῶσιν ἐπανάγων ἀπὸ δικαιοσύνης ἐπὶ ἁμαρτίαν κύριος ἑτοιμάσει εἰς ῥομφαίαν αὐτόν
For two things my heart is grieved; And for the third anger comes upon me: A man of war that suffers for poverty; And men of understanding that are counted as refuse: One that turns back from righteousness to sin; The Lord will prepare him for the sword.
有兩樣事使我心憂愁,第三樣使我忿怒臨身:勇士因貧窮而落魄;有見識的人被當作糞土;又有人從義轉向罪——主必預備他歸於刀劍之下。
26:29
μόλις ἐξελεῖται ἔμπορος ἀπὸ πλημμελείας καὶ οὐ δικαιωθήσεται κάπηλος ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας
A merchant shall hardly keep himself from wrong doing; And a huckster will not be acquitted of sin.
商人難免犯錯誤,販子也難脫離罪。
