箴言-Proverbs 第 19 章

19:1	行为纯全的贫穷人，胜过嘴唇乖谬的愚昧人。 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
19:2	人无知识乃为不善，脚步急快的，难免犯罪。 Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge, And he who makes haste with his feet sins.
19:3	人的愚昧倾败他的道路，他的心却恼怒耶和华。 The foolishness of a man subverts his way, And his heart is indignant toward Jehovah.
19:4	财物使朋友增多，但穷人连朋友也离开。 Wealth adds many friends, But the poor man is separated from his friend.

19:7	贫穷人，弟兄都恨他；何况他的朋友，更远离他！他虽用言语追随，他们却不留下。 All the brothers of the poor man hate him; How much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but they are not there.
19:8	得着智慧之心的，爱惜己命；保守聪明的，必得好处。 He who acquires sense loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good.

19:10	愚昧人宴乐度日是不合宜的；何况仆人管辖官长呢？ Delicate living is not fitting for a fool; Much less for a servant to rule over princes.
19:11	人有明智就不轻易发怒；不追究人的过失，便是自己的荣耀。 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, And it is his glory to overlook a transgression.
19:12	王的忿怒好像狮子吼叫，他的恩宠却如草上的甘露。 The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, But his favor is like dew upon the grass.
19:13	愚昧的儿子是父亲的祸患，妻子的争吵如雨连连滴漏。 A foolish son is the ruin of his father, And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.
19:14	房屋钱财是祖宗所遗留的，惟有贤慧的妻子是耶和华所赐的。 House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from Jehovah.
19:15	懒惰使人沉睡，懈怠的人必受饥饿。 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, And the idle soul will suffer hunger.
19:16	谨守诫命的，保全己命；轻忽己路的，必致死亡。 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul; He who is careless of his ways will die.
19:17	怜悯穷人的，就是借给耶和华；他的善行，耶和华必偿还。 He who has pity upon a poor man lends to Jehovah, And He will repay him for his good deed.
19:18	管教你的儿子，他就有指望；但你不可存心毁坏他。 Discipline your son, for there is hope; But do not set your heart on destroying him.
19:19	暴怒的人必受刑罚；你若救他，必须再救。 A man of great wrath will bear the penalty; For if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again.
19:20	你要听劝戒，受训诲，使你终久有智慧。 Listen to counsel, and receive instruction, That you may be wise at the end of your days.
19:21	人心多有计谋，惟有耶和华的筹算才能立定。 There are many devices in a man's heart, But it is the counsel of Jehovah that will stand.
19:22	人的仁慈令人羡慕，穷人强如说谎的人。 What is desirable in a man is his kindness, And a poor man is better than a liar.
19:23	敬畏耶和华，使人得生命；他必安居知足，不遭祸患。 The fear of Jehovah leads to life, And he who has it will lodge in contentment; He will not be visited with evil.

19:25	鞭打亵慢人，愚蒙人就学会灵巧；责备聪明人，他就明白知识。 Strike a scorner, and the simple will learn prudence; And reprove one who has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
19:26	虐待父亲、撵出母亲的，是贻羞致辱之子。 He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother Is a son that causes shame and brings reproach.

19:28	卑劣的见证人戏笑公平，恶人的口吞下罪孽。 A worthless witness mocks justice, And the mouth of the wicked swallows up iniquity.
19:29	刑罚是为亵慢人预备的，鞭打是为愚昧人的背预备的。 Judgments are prepared for scorners, And blows for the back of fools.
