旧约--箴言(proverbs)--第 20 章20:1酒能使人亵慢，浓酒使人喧囔。凡因酒错误的，就无智慧。wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.20:2王的威吓，如同吼叫。惹动他怒的，是自害己命。the fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sincomh against his own soul.20:3远离分争，是人的尊荣。愚妄人都爱争闹。it is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.20:4懒惰人因冬寒不肯耕种。到收割的时候，他必讨饭，而无所得。the sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.20:5人心怀藏谋略，好像深水。惟明哲人，才能汲引出来。counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.20:6人多述说自己的仁慈。但忠信人谁能遇着呢。most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?20:7行为纯正的义人，他的子孙，是有福的。the just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.20:8王坐在审判的位上，以眼目驱散诸恶。a king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.20:9谁能说，我洁净了我的心。我脱净了我的罪。who can say, i have made my heart clean, i am pure from my sin?20:10两样的法码，两样的升斗，都为耶和华所憎恶。divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the lord.20:11孩童的动作，是清洁，是正直，都显明他的本性。even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.20:12能听的耳，能看的眼，都是耶和华所造的。the hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the lord hath made even both of them.20:13不要贪睡，免致贫穷。眼要睁开，你就吃饱。love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.20:14买物的说，不好，不好。及至买去，他便自夸。it is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.20:15有金子，和许多珍珠。（或作红宝石）惟有知识的嘴，乃为贵重的珍宝。there is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.20:16谁为生人作保，就拿谁的衣服。谁为外人作保，谁就要承当。take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.20:17以虚谎而得的食物，人觉甘甜。但后来他的口，必充满尘沙。bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.20:18计谋都凭筹算立定。打仗要凭智谋。every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.20:19往来传舌的，泄漏密事。大张嘴的不可与他结交。he that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.20:20咒骂父母的，他的灯必灭，变为漆黑的黑暗。whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.20:21起初速得的产业，终久却不为福。an inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.20:22你不要说，我要以恶报恶。要等候耶和华，他必拯救你。say not thou, i will recompense evil; but wait on the lord, and he shall save thee.20:23两样的法码，为耶和华所憎恶。诡诈的天平，也为不善。divers weights are an abomination unto the lord; and a false balance is not good.20:24人的脚步，为耶和华所定。人岂能明白自己的路呢。man's goings are of the lord; how can a man then understand his own way?20:25人冒失说，这是圣物，许愿之后才查问，就是自陷网罗。it is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.20:26智慧的王，簸散恶人，用碌碡辊轧他们。a wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.20:27人的灵是耶和华的灯，鉴察人的心腹。the spirit of man is the candle of the lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.20:28王因仁慈和诚实，得以保全他的国位，也因仁慈立稳。mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.20:29强壮乃少年的荣耀。白发为老年人的尊荣。the glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.20:30鞭伤除净人的罪恶。责打能入人的心腹。the blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
