29:1
Qui facit misericordiam fœneratur proximo suo : et qui prævalet manu mandata servat.
施憐憫的人必借貸給鄰舍,伸手扶助人的便是遵守誡命。
He that shows mercy will lend to his neighbor; And he that strengthens him with his hand keeps the commandments.
29:2
Fœnerare proximo tuo in tempore necessitatis illius : et iterum redde proximo in tempore suo.
在鄰舍有需要時借給他,到了時候也要償還鄰舍。
Lend to your neighbor in time of his need; And pay you your neighbor again in due season.
29:3
Confirma verbum, et fideliter age cum illo : et in omni tempore invenies quod tibi necessarium est.
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。
Confirm your word, and keep faith with him; And at all seasons you shall find what you need.
29:4
Multi quasi inventionem æstimaverunt fœnus, et præstiterunt molestiam his qui se adjuverunt.
許多人把借貸看作意外之財,使幫助他們的人受了煩擾。
Many have reckoned a loan as a windfall, And have given trouble to those that helped them.
29:5
Donec accipiant, osculantur manus dantis, et in promissionibus humiliant vocem suam :
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。
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.
29:6
et in tempore redditionis postulabit tempus, et loquetur verba tædii et murmurationum, et tempus causabitur.
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。
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.
29:7
Si autem potuerit reddere, adversabitur : solidi vix reddet dimidium, et computabit illud quasi inventionem :
許多人因人的惡待而退縮,惟恐無故被人騙取錢財。
Many on account of men’s ill-dealing have turned away; They have feared to be defrauded for nothing.
29:8
sin autem, fraudabit illum pecunia sua, et possidebit illum inimicum gratis :
然而對窮苦的人,你仍要恆久忍耐,不要使他久候你的施捨。
Howbeit with a man in poor estate be longsuffering; And let him not wait for your alms.
29:9
et convitia et maledicta reddet illi, et pro honore et beneficio reddet illi contumeliam.
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。
Help a poor man for the commandment’s sake; And according to his need send him not empty away.
29:10
Multi non causa nequitiæ non fœnerati sunt, sed fraudari gratis timuerunt.
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。
Lose your money for a brother and a friend; And let it not rust under the stone to be lost.
29:11
Verumtamen super humilem animo fortior esto, et pro eleemosyna non trahas illum.
要照至高者的誡命安放你的財寶,它必使你獲益勝過金子。
Bestow your treasure according to the commandments of the Most High; And it shall profit you more than gold.
29:12
Propter mandatum assume pauperem, et propter inopiam ejus ne dimittas eum vacuum.
要把施捨積藏在你的庫房裡,它必救你脫離一切的災禍。
Shut up alms in your store-chambers; And it shall deliver you out of all affliction:
29:13
Perde pecuniam propter fratrem et amicum tuum, et non abscondas illam sub lapide in perditionem.
在仇敵面前,它必為你爭戰,勝過堅固的盾牌與沉重的長矛。
It shall fight for you against your enemy Better than a mighty shield and a ponderous spear.
29:14
Pone thesaurum tuum in præceptis Altissimi, et proderit tibi magis quam aurum.
善人必為鄰舍作擔保,喪盡羞恥的人卻必撇棄他。
A good man will be surety for his neighbor; And he that has lost shame will fail him.
29:15
Conclude eleemosynam in corde pauperis, et hæc pro te exorabit ab omni malo.
不要忘記擔保人的恩惠,因為他為你捨了自己的性命。
Forget not the good offices of your surety; For he has given his life for you.
29:16
Super scutum potentis
罪人必敗壞擔保人的好處,
A sinner will overthrow the good estate of his surety;
29:17
et super lanceam
忘恩負義的人必撇棄那拯救他的人。
And he that is of an unthankful mind will fail him that delivered him.
29:18
adversus inimicum tuum pugnabit.
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。
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.
29:19
Vir bonus fidem facit pro proximo suo : et qui perdiderit confusionem derelinquet sibi.
陷入擔保、又貪攬工程的罪人,必落入訴訟之中。
A sinner that falls into suretiship, And undertakes contracts for work, shall fall into lawsuits.
29:20
Gratiam fidejussoris ne obliviscaris : dedit enim pro te animam suam.
要照你的能力扶助鄰舍,也要留心自己,免得你也陷入其中。
Help your neighbor according to your power, And take heed to yourself that you fall not to the same.
29:21
Repromissorem fugit peccator et immundus.
生活所必需的乃是水、餅、衣服,以及遮蔽羞恥的房屋。
The chief thing for life is water, and bread, And a garment, and a house to cover shame.
29:22
Bona repromissoris sibi ascribit peccator : et ingratus sensu derelinquet liberantem se.
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。
Better is the life of a poor man under a shelter of logs, Than sumptuous fare in another man’s house.
29:23
Vir repromittit de proximo suo : et cum perdiderit reverentiam, derelinquetur ab eo.
無論所有的是少是多,都要知足,就不致聽見寄居的辱罵。
With little or with much, be well satisfied.
29:24
Repromissio nequissima multos perdidit dirigentes, et commovit illos quasi fluctus maris.
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。
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.
29:25
Viros potentes gyrans migrare fecit, et vagati sunt in gentibus alienis.
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。
You shall entertain, and give to drink, and have no thanks: And besides this you shall hear bitter words.
29:26
Peccator transgrediens mandatum Domini incidet in promissionem nequam : et qui conatur multa agere incidet in judicium.
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。』
Come hither, you sojourner, furnish a table, And if you have anything in your hand, feed me with it.
29:27
Recupera proximum secundum virtutem tuam, et attende tibi ne incidas.
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。』
Go forth, you sojourner, from the face of honor; My brother is come to be my guest; I have need of my house.
29:28
Initium vitæ hominis, aqua et panis, et vestimentum, et domus protegens turpitudinem.
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。
These things are grievous to a man of understanding; The upbraiding of house-room, and the reproaching of the money-lender.
