25:1
ἐν τρισὶν ὡραΐσθην καὶ ἀνέστην ὡραία ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ ἀνθρώπων ὁμόνοια ἀδελφῶν καὶ φιλία τῶν πλησίον καὶ γυνὴ καὶ ἀνὴρ ἑαυτοῖς συμπεριφερόμενοι
有三樣使我得美,使我在主與人面前顯為佳美:弟兄和睦、鄰舍相愛、夫妻同心相處。
In three things I was beautified, And stood up beautiful before the Lord and men: The concord of kindred, and friendship of neighbors, And a woman and her husband that walk together in agreement.
25:2
τρία δὲ εἴδη ἐμίσησεν ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ προσώχθισα σφόδρα τῇ ζωῇ αὐτῶν πτωχὸν ὑπερήφανον καὶ πλούσιον ψεύστην γέροντα μοιχὸν ἐλαττούμενον συνέσει
有三種人是我心所憎惡的,我極厭惡他們的生活:驕傲的窮人、說謊的富人,以及缺乏見識而行姦淫的老人。
But three sorts of men my soul hates, And I am greatly offended at their life: A poor man that is haughty, and a rich man that is a liar, And an old man that is an adulterer lacking understanding.
25:3
ἐν νεότητι οὐ συναγείοχας καὶ πῶς ἂν εὕροις ἐν τῷ γήρᾳ σου
你年幼時若沒有積蓄,年老時又怎能尋得呢?
In your youth you have not gathered, And how should you find in your old age?
25:4
ὡς ὡραῖον πολιαῖς κρίσις καὶ πρεσβυτέροις ἐπιγνῶναι βουλήν
判斷的能力對白髮之人是何等的佳美,謀略對長者是何等的相宜!
How beautiful a thing is judgement for gray hairs, And for elders to know counsel!
25:5
ὡς ὡραία γερόντων σοφία καὶ δεδοξασμένοις διανόημα καὶ βουλή
老人的智慧何等佳美,思慮與謀略對尊貴之人何等可貴!
How beautiful is the wisdom of old men, And thought and counsel to men that are in honor!
25:6
στέφανος γερόντων πολυπειρία καὶ τὸ καύχημα αὐτῶν φόβος κυρίου
豐富的閱歷是老人的冠冕,敬畏主是他們的誇耀。
Much experience is the crown of old men; And their glorying is the fear of the Lord.
25:7
ἐννέα ὑπονοήματα ἐμακάρισα ἐν καρδίᾳ καὶ τὸ δέκατον ἐρῶ ἐπὶ γλώσσης ἄνθρωπος εὐφραινόμενος ἐπὶ τέκνοις ζῶν καὶ βλέπων ἐπὶ πτώσει ἐχθρῶν
有九樣事是我心中所思想、稱為有福的,第十樣我要親口說出:人因兒女得喜樂;人活著得見仇敵傾倒;
There be nine things that I have thought of, and in my heart counted happy; And the tenth I will utter with my tongue: A man that has joy of his children; A man that lives and looks upon the fall of his enemies:
25:8
μακάριος ὁ συνοικῶν γυναικὶ συνετῇ καὶ ὃς ἐν γλώσσῃ οὐκ ὠλίσθησεν καὶ ὃς οὐκ ἐδούλευσεν ἀναξίῳ ἑαυτοῦ
與有見識的妻子同住、不曾因舌頭失足、不曾服事不配之人的,是有福的。
Happy is he that dwells with a wife of understanding; And he that has not slipped with his tongue; And he that has not served a man that is unworthy of him:
25:9
μακάριος ὃς εὗρεν φρόνησιν καὶ ὁ διηγούμενος εἰς ὦτα ἀκουόντων
尋得明智的、向側耳而聽之人講論的,是有福的。
Happy is he that has found prudence; And he that discourseth in the ears of those who listen.
25:10
ὡς μέγας ὁ εὑρὼν σοφίαν ἀλλ’ οὐκ ἔστιν ὑπὲρ τὸν φοβούμενον τὸν κύριον
尋得智慧的人何等偉大!然而沒有人能超越敬畏主的人。
How great is he that has found wisdom! Yet is there none above him that fears the Lord.
25:11
φόβος κυρίου ὑπὲρ πᾶν ὑπερέβαλεν ὁ κρατῶν αὐτοῦ τίνι ὁμοιωθήσεται
敬畏主超越萬事,持守它的人,誰能與他相比呢?
The fear of the Lord passes all things: He that holds it, to whom shall he be likened?
25:13
πᾶσαν πληγὴν καὶ μὴ πληγὴν καρδίας καὶ πᾶσαν πονηρίαν καὶ μὴ πονηρίαν γυναικός
任何傷痛,但願不是心傷;任何邪惡,但願不是婦人的邪惡。
Give me any plague but the plague of the heart; And any wickedness but the wickedness of a woman;
25:14
πᾶσαν ἐπαγωγὴν καὶ μὴ ἐπαγωγὴν μισούντων καὶ πᾶσαν ἐκδίκησιν καὶ μὴ ἐκδίκησιν ἐχθρῶν
任何災禍,但願不是出於恨我之人的災禍;任何報復,但願不是仇敵的報復。
Any calamity, but a calamity from those who hate me; And any vengeance, but the vengeance of enemies.
25:15
οὐκ ἔστιν κεφαλὴ ὑπὲρ κεφαλὴν ὄφεως καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν θυμὸς ὑπὲρ θυμὸν ἐχθροῦ
沒有什麼頭比蛇頭更毒,也沒有什麼怒比仇敵的怒更烈。
There is no head above the head of a serpent; And there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy.
25:16
συνοικῆσαι λέοντι καὶ δράκοντι εὐδοκήσω ἢ συνοικῆσαι μετὰ γυναικὸς πονηρᾶς
我寧願與獅子和毒龍同住,也不願與惡毒的婦人同居。
I will rather dwell with a lion and a dragon, Than keep house with a wicked woman.
25:17
πονηρία γυναικὸς ἀλλοιοῖ τὴν ὅρασιν αὐτῆς καὶ σκοτοῖ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς ὡς ἄρκος
婦人的惡毒使她的容貌改變,使她的臉色陰沉如熊。
The wickedness of a woman changes her look, And darkens her countenance as a bear does.
25:18
ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἀναπεσεῖται ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς καὶ ἀκουσίως ἀνεστέναξεν πικρά
她的丈夫坐在鄰舍中間,聽見此事便不由得苦苦歎息。
Her husband will sit at meat among his neighbors, And when he hears it he sighs bitterly.
25:19
μικρὰ πᾶσα κακία πρὸς κακίαν γυναικός κλῆρος ἁμαρτωλοῦ ἐπιπέσοι αὐτῇ
一切邪惡比起婦人的邪惡都算微小,願罪人的報應臨到她。
All malice is but little to the malice of a woman: Let the portion of a sinner fall on her.
25:20
ἀνάβασις ἀμμώδης ἐν ποσὶν πρεσβυτέρου οὕτως γυνὴ γλωσσώδης ἀνδρὶ ἡσύχῳ
多言的妻子對安靜的丈夫,如同沙路對老人的腳。
As the going up a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, So is a wife full of words to a quiet man.
25:21
μὴ προσπέσῃς ἐπὶ κάλλος γυναικὸς καὶ γυναῖκα μὴ ἐπιποθήσῃς
不要拜倒在婦人的美貌之下,也不要因美色而貪戀她。
Throw not yourself upon the beauty of a woman; And desire not a woman for her beauty.
25:22
ὀργὴ καὶ ἀναίδεια καὶ αἰσχύνη μεγάλη γυνὴ ἐὰν ἐπιχορηγῇ τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς
婦人若反過來供養丈夫,就有忿怒、無恥與極大的羞辱。
There is anger, and impudence, and great reproach, If a woman maintain her husband.
25:23
καρδία ταπεινὴ καὶ πρόσωπον σκυθρωπὸν καὶ πληγὴ καρδίας γυνὴ πονηρά χεῖρες παρειμέναι καὶ γόνατα παραλελυμένα ἥτις οὐ μακαριεῖ τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς
惡毒的婦人使人心境卑下、面容愁苦、內心受傷;不肯使丈夫得福的妻子,如同下垂的手與癱軟的膝。
A wicked woman is abasement of heart, And sadness of countenance, and a wounded heart: A woman that will not make her husband happy Is as hands that hang down, and palsied knees.
25:24
ἀπὸ γυναικὸς ἀρχὴ ἁμαρτίας καὶ δῑ αὐτὴν ἀποθνῄσκομεν πάντες
罪的起頭是由婦人而來,因她的緣故我們眾人都要死。
From a woman was the beginning of sin; And because of her we all die.
25:25
μὴ δῷς ὕδατι διέξοδον μηδὲ γυναικὶ πονηρᾷ παρρησίαν
不要給水留出口,也不要給惡毒的婦人放縱言語的自由。
Give not water an outlet; Neither to a wicked woman freedom of speech.
25:26
εἰ μὴ πορεύεται κατὰ χεῖράς σου ἀπὸ τῶν σαρκῶν σου ἀπότεμε αὐτήν
她若不照你的意思而行,就把她從你身上割除。
If she go not as you would have her, Cut her off from your flesh.
