14:1
μακάριος ἀνήρ ὃς οὐκ ὠλίσθησεν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ κατενύγη ἐν λύπῃ ἁμαρτιῶν
沒有因言語失足、也沒有因罪過憂傷扎心的人,是有福的。
Blessed is the man that has not slipped with his mouth, And is not pricked with sorrow for sins.
14:2
μακάριος οὗ οὐ κατέγνω ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὃς οὐκ ἔπεσεν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐλπίδος αὐτοῦ
良心不責備他、又沒有從盼望中跌落的人,是有福的。
Blessed is he whose soul does not condemn him, And who is not fallen from his hope.
14:3
ἀνδρὶ μικρολόγῳ οὐ καλὸς ὁ πλοῦτος καὶ ἀνθρώπῳ βασκάνῳ ἵνα τί χρήματα
財富對吝嗇的人並不相宜,貪嫉的人又何必有錢財呢?
Riches are not comely for a niggard; And what should an envious man do with money?
14:4
ὁ συνάγων ἀπὸ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ συνάγει ἄλλοις καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς αὐτοῦ τρυφήσουσιν ἕτεροι
從自己心靈中刻薄聚斂的人,是為別人積攢;別人必享用他的財物。
He that gathers by taking from his own soul gathers for others; And others will revel in his goods.
14:5
ὁ πονηρὸς ἑαυτῷ τίνι ἀγαθὸς ἔσται καὶ οὐ μὴ εὐφρανθήσεται ἐν τοῖς χρήμασιν αὐτοῦ
對自己刻薄的人,又能善待誰呢?他必不能因自己的財物得歡樂。
He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? And he will not rejoice in his possessions.
14:6
τοῦ βασκαίνοντος ἑαυτὸν οὐκ ἔστιν πονηρότερος καὶ τοῦτο ἀνταπόδομα τῆς κακίας αὐτοῦ
沒有人比苛待自己的人更壞,這就是他邪惡所得的報應。
There is none more evil than he that envies himself; And this is a recompense of his wickedness.
14:7
κἂν εὖ ποιῇ ἐν λήθῃ ποιεῖ καὶ ἐπ’ ἐσχάτων ἐκφαίνει τὴν κακίαν αὐτοῦ
他即便行善,也是不情不願地行;到末了,他必顯露自己的邪惡。
Even if he does good, he does it in forgetfulness; And at the last he shows forth his wickedness.
14:8
πονηρὸς ὁ βασκαίνων ὀφθαλμῷ ἀποστρέφων πρόσωπον καὶ ὑπερορῶν ψυχάς
以惡眼貪嫉的人是邪惡的,他轉臉不顧,輕看別人的性命。
Evil is he that envies with his eye, Turning away the face, and despising the souls of men.
14:9
πλεονέκτου ὀφθαλμὸς οὐκ ἐμπίπλαται μερίδι καὶ ἀδικία πονηρὰ ἀναξηραίνει ψυχήν
貪婪人的眼目不以自己的分為滿足,邪惡的不義使他的心靈枯乾。
A covetous man’s eye is not satisfied with his portion; And wicked injustice dries up his soul.
14:10
ὀφθαλμὸς πονηρὸς φθονερὸς ἐπ’ ἄρτῳ καὶ ἐλλιπὴς ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης αὐτοῦ
惡眼的人吝惜食物,在自己席上也短缺不慷慨。
An evil eye is grudging of bread, And he is miserly at his table
14:11
τέκνον καθὼς ἐὰν ἔχῃς εὖ ποίει σεαυτὸν καὶ προσφορὰς κυρίῳ ἀξίως πρόσαγε
孩子啊,要照你所有的善待自己,並把當得的供物獻給主。
My son, according as you have, do well to yourself, And bring offerings to the Lord worthily.
14:12
μνήσθητι ὅτι θάνατος οὐ χρονιεῖ καὶ διαθήκη ᾅδου οὐχ ὑπεδείχθη σοι
要記得死亡不會遲延,陰間的約期也未曾向你顯明。
Remember that death will not wait, And that the covenant of the grave is not showed to you.
14:13
πρίν σε τελευτῆσαι εὖ ποίει φίλῳ καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἰσχύν σου ἔκτεινον καὶ δὸς αὐτῷ
未死之前,要善待你的朋友;要盡你的力量伸手周濟他。
Do well to your friend before you die; And according to your ability stretch out your hand and give to him.
14:14
μὴ ἀφυστερήσῃς ἀπὸ ἀγαθῆς ἡμέρας καὶ μερὶς ἐπιθυμίας ἀγαθῆς μή σε παρελθάτω
不要使自己錯失美好的日子,不要讓美善的願望從你身邊溜走。
Defraud not yourself of a good day; And don’t let the portion of a good desire pass you by.
14:15
οὐχὶ ἑτέρῳ καταλείψεις τοὺς πόνους σου καὶ τοὺς κόπους σου εἰς διαίρεσιν κλήρου
你豈不是要把你的勞苦留給別人,把你的勞碌交付別人拈鬮分取嗎?
Shall you not leave your labors to another? And your toils to be divided by lot?
14:16
δὸς καὶ λαβὲ καὶ ἀπάτησον τὴν ψυχήν σου ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ᾅδου ζητῆσαι τρυφήν
要施與,也要領受,並寬待你的心靈;因為在陰間無從尋求享樂。
Give, and take, and decieve your soul; For there is no seeking of luxury in the grave.
14:17
πᾶσα σὰρξ ὡς ἱμάτιον παλαιοῦται ἡ γὰρ διαθήκη ἀπ’ αἰῶνος θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ
凡有血肉的都像衣服漸漸破舊,因為從亙古以來的定命就是:你必定死。
All flesh waxes old as a garment; For the covenant from the beginning is, You shall die the death.
14:18
ὡς φύλλον θάλλον ἐπὶ δένδρου δασέος τὰ μὲν καταβάλλει ἄλλα δὲ φύει οὕτως γενεὰ σαρκὸς καὶ αἵματος ἡ μὲν τελευτᾷ ἑτέρα δὲ γεννᾶται
如同茂密樹上繁盛的葉子,有的凋落,有的生長;血肉之人的世代也是如此,一代死去,另一代又出生。
As of the leaves flourishing on a thick tree, Some it sheds, and some it makes to grow; So also of the generations of flesh and blood, One comes to an end, and another is born.
14:19
πᾶν ἔργον σηπόμενον ἐκλείπει καὶ ὁ ἐργαζόμενος αὐτὸ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἀπελεύσεται
凡腐朽的工作都要消逝,作工的人也必與它一同離去。
Every work rots and falls away, And the worker thereof shall depart with it.
14:20
μακάριος ἀνήρ ὃς ἐν σοφίᾳ μελετήσει καὶ ὃς ἐν συνέσει αὐτοῦ διαλεχθήσεται
思想智慧、以見識談論的人,是有福的。
Blessed is the man that shall meditate in wisdom, And that shall discourse by his understanding.
14:21
ὁ διανοούμενος τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῆς ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀποκρύφοις αὐτῆς ἐννοηθήσεται
心裡思想智慧道路的人,也必明白她的奧祕。
He that considers her ways in his heart Shall also have knowledge in her secrets.
14:22
ἔξελθε ὀπίσω αὐτῆς ὡς ἰχνευτὴς καὶ ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῆς ἐνέδρευε
你要像追蹤者一樣跟在她後面,在她的道路上守候。
Go forth after her as one that tracketh, And lie in wait in her ways.
14:23
ὁ παρακύπτων διὰ τῶν θυρίδων αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν θυρωμάτων αὐτῆς ἀκροάσεται
窺視她窗戶的人,也必側耳聽她的門。
He that pries in at her windows Shall also hearken at her doors.
14:24
ὁ καταλύων σύνεγγυς τοῦ οἴκου αὐτῆς καὶ πήξει πάσσαλον ἐν τοῖς τοίχοις αὐτῆς
靠近她房屋安歇的人,也必把橛子釘在她的牆上。
He that lodges close to her house Shall also fasten a nail in her walls.
14:25
στήσει τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ κατὰ χεῖρας αὐτῆς καὶ καταλύσει ἐν καταλύματι ἀγαθῶν
他必在她近旁支搭帳棚,住在美善之物所在的居所。
He shall pitch his tent near at hand to her, And will lodge in a lodging where good things are.
14:26
θήσει τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ σκέπῃ αὐτῆς καὶ ὑπὸ τοὺς κλάδους αὐτῆς αὐλισθήσεται
他必使他的兒女在她的蔭庇下安身,在她的枝條下棲息。
He will set his children under her shelter, And will rest under her branches.
14:27
σκεπασθήσεται ὑπ’ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ καύματος καὶ ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτῆς καταλύσει
他必蒙她遮蔽免受炎熱,並在她的榮耀中安歇。
By her he will be covered from heat, And will lodge in her glory.
