| 箴言-Proverbs 第 27 章 |
| 27:1 | 不要为明日夸口，因为一日要发生何事，你尚且不能知道。 Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth. |
| 27:2 | 让别人夸奖你，不可用口自夸；让外人称赞你，不可用嘴自赞。 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; A foreigner, and not your own lips. |
| 27:3 | 石头重，沙土沉，愚妄人的恼怒比这两样更重。 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty, But a fool's vexation is heavier than both of them. |
| 27:4 | 忿怒为残忍，怒气为狂澜，惟有嫉妒，谁能敌得住呢？ Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming, But who can stand before jealousy? |
| 27:5 | 公开的责备强如暗中的爱。 Open rebuke is better Than love that is hidden. |
| 27:6 | 朋友加的伤痕是出于忠诚，仇敌却与你连连亲嘴。 Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are profuse. |
| 27:7 | 吃饱的人，厌恶蜂房的蜜；饥饿的人，一切苦物都觉甘甜。 The full soul loathes a honeycomb, But to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. |
| 27:8 | 人离本处飘流，好像雀鸟离窝游飞。 Like a bird that wanders from her nest, So is a man who wanders from his place. |
| 27:9 | 膏油与香料使人心喜乐；人的劝戒，对他朋友也是如此甘美。 Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; So a man's counsel is sweet to his friend. |
| 27:10 | 你不可撇开自己的朋友和父亲的朋友，而在遭难的日子上你弟兄的家去：相近的邻舍，强如远方的弟兄。 Do not forsake your own friend or your father's friend To go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity: Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away. |
| 27:11 | 我儿，你要作智慧人，好叫我的心快乐，使我可以回答那辱骂我的人。 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, That I may answer him who reproaches me. |
| 27:12 | 灵巧人见祸藏躲，愚蒙人却前往受罚。 A prudent man sees evil and hides himself; But the simple pass on and suffer punishment for it. |
| 27:13 | 谁为生人作保，就拿谁的衣服；谁为外女作保，就向谁取抵押。 Take the garment of him who is surety for a stranger, And hold one in pledge who is surety for a foreign woman. |
| 27:14 | 清晨吵醒朋友，大声给他祝福的，就算是咒诅他。 He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, Arousing him early in the morning, It will be reckoned as a curse to him. |
| 27:15 | 大雨之日连连滴漏，和争吵的妇人一样； A continual dripping on a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike; |
| 27:16 | 想拦阻她的，便是拦阻风，也是右手抓油。 He who would restrain her restrains the wind, And grasps oil with his right hand. |
| 27:17 | 铁磨铁，使铁锋利；人与朋友互相砥砺，也是如此。 Iron sharpens iron; So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. |
| 27:18 | 看守无花果树的，必吃树上的果子；看护主人的，必得尊荣。 Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, And he who takes care of his master will be honored. |
| 27:19 | 水怎样映照人面，人心也照样反映其人。 As in water face reflects face, So the heart of man reflects man. |
| 27:20 | 阴间和灭亡总不满足，人的眼目也总不满足。 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, And the eyes of man are never satisfied. |
| 27:21 | 鼎为炼银，炉为炼金，人的称赞也试炼人。 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, And a man is tried by the praise given him. |
| 27:22 | 你虽用杵将愚妄人与打碎的麦子一同捣在臼中，他的愚妄还是离不了他。 Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, His folly will not depart from him. |
| 27:23 | 你要详细知道你羊群的景况，留心料理你的牛群－ Know well the condition of your flocks, And pay attention to your herds - |
| 27:24 | 因为财富不能永有，冠冕也不能代代常存。 For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure from generation to generation - |
| 27:25 | 干草割去，嫩草出现，山上的菜蔬也被收取时， Then when the grass has disappeared, and the tender grass is seen, And the herbs of the mountains have been gathered in, |
| 27:26 | 有羊羔的毛为作你衣服，山羊作田地的价值； The lambs will be for your clothing, And the goats will bring the price of a field; |
| 27:27 | 并有母山羊奶彀你吃，也彀你的家眷吃，且彀你的婢女养生。 And there will be goats' milk enough for your food, For the food of your household, And for the sustenance for your maidens. |
