29:1
ὁ ποιῶν ἔλεος δανιεῖ τῷ πλησίον καὶ ὁ ἐπισχύων τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τηρεῖ ἐντολάς
He that shows mercy will lend to his neighbor; And he that strengthens him with his hand keeps the commandments.
施憐憫的人必借貸給鄰舍，伸手扶助人的便是遵守誡命。
29:2
δάνεισον τῷ πλησίον ἐν καιρῷ χρείας αὐτοῦ καὶ πάλιν ἀπόδος τῷ πλησίον εἰς τὸν καιρόν
Lend to your neighbor in time of his need; And pay you your neighbor again in due season.
在鄰舍有需要時借給他，到了時候也要償還鄰舍。
29:3
στερέωσον λόγον καὶ πιστώθητι μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ εὑρήσεις τὴν χρείαν σου
Confirm your word, and keep faith with him; And at all seasons you shall find what you need.
要堅守你的諾言，向他守信，這樣你隨時都能尋得你所需用的。
29:4
πολλοὶ ὡς εὕρεμα ἐνόμισαν δάνος καὶ παρέσχον κόπον τοῖς βοηθήσασιν αὐτοῖς
Many have reckoned a loan as a windfall, And have given trouble to those that helped them.
許多人把借貸看作意外之財，使幫助他們的人受了煩擾。
29:5
ἕως οὗ λάβῃ καταφιλήσει χεῖρας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν χρημάτων τοῦ πλησίον ταπεινώσει φωνήν καὶ ἐν καιρῷ ἀποδόσεως παρελκύσει χρόνον καὶ ἀποδώσει λόγους ἀκηδίας καὶ τὸν καιρὸν αἰτιάσεται
Till he has received, he will kiss a man’s hands; And for his neighbor’s money he will speak submissly: And when payment is due, he will prolong the time, And return words of heaviness, and complain of the times.
未得著之前，他親吻人的手，為借鄰舍的錢而低聲下氣；及至償還之期，他卻拖延時日，回以怨懟之言，並推諉於時勢。
29:6
ἐὰν ἰσχύσῃ μόλις κομίσεται τὸ ἥμισυ καὶ λογιεῖται αὐτὸ ὡς εὕρεμα εἰ δὲ μή ἀπεστέρησεν αὐτὸν τῶν χρημάτων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκτήσατο αὐτὸν ἐχθρὸν δωρεάν κατάρας καὶ λοιδορίας ἀποδώσει αὐτῷ καὶ ἀντὶ δόξης ἀποδώσει αὐτῷ ἀτιμίαν
If he prevail, he shall hardly receive the half; And he will count it as a windfall: If not, he has deprived him of his money, And he has gotten him for an enemy without cause: He will pay him with cursings and railings; And for honor he will pay him disgrace.
他若有力償還，債主也僅能勉強收回一半，且要看作意外之財；他若無力，便奪去了債主的錢財，無故為自己樹立仇敵；他以咒詛辱罵相報，以羞辱代替本當的尊敬。
29:7
πολλοὶ οὐ χάριν πονηρίας ἀπέστρεψαν ἀποστερηθῆναι δωρεὰν εὐλαβήθησαν
Many on account of men’s ill-dealing have turned away; They have feared to be defrauded for nothing.
許多人因人的惡待而退縮，惟恐無故被人騙取錢財。
29:8
πλὴν ἐπὶ ταπεινῷ μακροθύμησον καὶ ἐπ’ ἐλεημοσύνῃ μὴ παρελκύσῃς αὐτόν
Howbeit with a man in poor estate be longsuffering; And let him not wait for your alms.
然而對窮苦的人，你仍要恆久忍耐，不要使他久候你的施捨。
29:9
χάριν ἐντολῆς ἀντιλαβοῦ πένητος καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἔνδειαν αὐτοῦ μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς αὐτὸν κενόν
Help a poor man for the commandment’s sake; And according to his need send him not empty away.
要為誡命的緣故扶助貧窮人，按他的需要，不要使他空手回去。
29:10
ἀπόλεσον ἀργύριον δῑ ἀδελφὸν καὶ φίλον καὶ μὴ ἰωθήτω ὑπὸ τὸν λίθον εἰς ἀπώλειαν
Lose your money for a brother and a friend; And let it not rust under the stone to be lost.
為弟兄朋友的緣故，不惜捨棄銀錢，不要讓它鏽蝕在石頭下以致失喪。
29:11
θὲς τὸν θησαυρόν σου κατ’ ἐντολὰς ὑψίστου καὶ λυσιτελήσει σοι μᾶλλον ἢ τὸ χρυσίον
Bestow your treasure according to the commandments of the Most High; And it shall profit you more than gold.
要照至高者的誡命安放你的財寶，它必使你獲益勝過金子。
29:12
σύγκλεισον ἐλεημοσύνην ἐν τοῖς ταμιείοις σου καὶ αὕτη ἐξελεῖταί σε ἐκ πάσης κακώσεως
Shut up alms in your store-chambers; And it shall deliver you out of all affliction:
要把施捨積藏在你的庫房裡，它必救你脫離一切的災禍。
29:13
ὑπὲρ ἀσπίδα κράτους καὶ ὑπὲρ δόρυ ὁλκῆς κατέναντι ἐχθροῦ πολεμήσει ὑπὲρ σοῦ
It shall fight for you against your enemy Better than a mighty shield and a ponderous spear.
在仇敵面前，它必為你爭戰，勝過堅固的盾牌與沉重的長矛。
29:14
ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς ἐγγυήσεται τὸν πλησίον καὶ ὁ ἀπολωλεκὼς αἰσχύνην ἐγκαταλείψει αὐτόν
A good man will be surety for his neighbor; And he that has lost shame will fail him.
善人必為鄰舍作擔保，喪盡羞恥的人卻必撇棄他。
29:15
χάριτας ἐγγύου μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ ἔδωκεν γὰρ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ὑπὲρ σοῦ
Forget not the good offices of your surety; For he has given his life for you.
不要忘記擔保人的恩惠，因為他為你捨了自己的性命。
29:16
ἀγαθὰ ἐγγύου ἀνατρέψει ἁμαρτωλός καὶ ἀχάριστος ἐν διανοίᾳ ἐγκαταλείψει ῥυσάμενον
A sinner will overthrow the good estate of his surety;
罪人必敗壞擔保人的好處，
29:17
ἐγγύη πολλοὺς ἀπώλεσεν κατευθύνοντας καὶ ἐσάλευσεν αὐτοὺς ὡς κῦμα θαλάσσης
And he that is of an unthankful mind will fail him that delivered him.
忘恩負義的人必撇棄那拯救他的人。
29:18
ἄνδρας δυνατοὺς ἀπῴκισεν καὶ ἐπλανήθησαν ἐν ἔθνεσιν ἀλλοτρίοις
Suretiship has undone many that were prospering, And shaken them as a wave of the sea: Mighty men has it driven from their homes; And they wandered among strange nations.
作擔保毀了許多本可亨通的人，將他們搖撼如海中的波浪；又把有勢力的人趕離家園，使他們流落異族之中。
29:19
ἁμαρτωλὸς ἐμπεσὼν εἰς ἐγγύην καὶ διώκων ἐργολαβίας ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς κρίσεις
A sinner that falls into suretiship, And undertakes contracts for work, shall fall into lawsuits.
陷入擔保、又貪攬工程的罪人，必落入訴訟之中。
29:20
ἀντιλαβοῦ τοῦ πλησίον κατὰ δύναμίν σου καὶ πρόσεχε σεαυτῷ μὴ ἐμπέσῃς
Help your neighbor according to your power, And take heed to yourself that you fall not to the same.
要照你的能力扶助鄰舍，也要留心自己，免得你也陷入其中。
29:21
ἀρχὴ ζωῆς ὕδωρ καὶ ἄρτος καὶ ἱμάτιον καὶ οἶκος καλύπτων ἀσχημοσύνην
The chief thing for life is water, and bread, And a garment, and a house to cover shame.
生活所必需的乃是水、餅、衣服，以及遮蔽羞恥的房屋。
29:22
κρείσσων βίος πτωχοῦ ὑπὸ σκέπην δοκῶν ἢ ἐδέσματα λαμπρὰ ἐν ἀλλοτρίοις
Better is the life of a poor man under a shelter of logs, Than sumptuous fare in another man’s house.
窮人在自己簡陋遮蔽下的生活，勝過在別人家中享用的豐盛筵席。
29:23
ἐπὶ μικρῷ καὶ μεγάλῳ εὐδοκίαν ἔχε καὶ ὀνειδισμὸν παροικίας οὐ μὴ ἀκούσῃς
With little or with much, be well satisfied.
無論所有的是少是多，都要知足，就不致聽見寄居的辱罵。
29:24
ζωὴ πονηρὰ ἐξ οἰκίας εἰς οἰκίαν καὶ οὗ παροικήσεις οὐκ ἀνοίξεις στόμα
It is a miserable life to go from house to house: And where you are a sojourner, you shall not dare to open your mouth.
從這家漂泊到那家是悲慘的生活；你在寄居之處，連口也不敢開。
29:25
ξενιεῖς καὶ ποτιεῖς εἰς ἀχάριστα καὶ πρὸς ἐπὶ τούτοις πικρὰ ἀκούσῃ
You shall entertain, and give to drink, and have no thanks: And besides this you shall hear bitter words.
你款待人、給人喝，卻得不到感謝；除此之外，還要聽見苦毒的話。
29:26
πάρελθε πάροικε κόσμησον τράπεζαν καὶ εἴ τι ἐν τῇ χειρί σου ψώμισόν με
Come hither, you sojourner, furnish a table, And if you have anything in your hand, feed me with it.
主人說：『過來吧，寄居的，擺設筵席；你手中若有什麼，就拿來給我喫。』
29:27
ἔξελθε πάροικε ἀπὸ προσώπου δόξης ἐπεξένωταί μοι ὁ ἀδελφός χρεία τῆς οἰκίας
Go forth, you sojourner, from the face of honor; My brother is come to be my guest; I have need of my house.
又說：『寄居的，從尊位前退下吧，我的弟兄來作我的客了，我需要用我的房屋。』
29:28
βαρέα ταῦτα ἀνθρώπῳ ἔχοντι φρόνησιν ἐπιτίμησις οἰκίας καὶ ὀνειδισμὸς δανειστοῦ
These things are grievous to a man of understanding; The upbraiding of house-room, and the reproaching of the money-lender.
這些事使有見識的人深感為難：寄人籬下的責備，與債主的辱罵。
