旧约 -- 箴言(Proverbs) -- 第22章
22：1 美名胜过大财，恩宠强如金银。
A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches， and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
22：2 富户穷人，在世相遇，都为耶和华所造。
The rich and poor meet together： the LORD is the maker of them all.
22：3 通达人见祸藏躲。愚蒙人前往受害。
A prudent man foreseeth the evil， and hideth himself： but the simple pass on， and are punished.
22：4 敬畏耶和华心存谦卑，就得富有，尊荣，生命，为赏赐。
By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches， and honour， and life.
22：5 乖僻人的路上，有荆棘和网罗。保守自己生命的。必要远离。
Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward： he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
22：6 教养孩童，使他走当行的道，就是到老他也不偏离。
Train up a child in the way he should go： and when he is old， he will not depart from it.
22：7 富户管辖穷人，欠债的是债主的仆人。
The rich ruleth over the poor， and the borrower is servant to the lender.
22：8 撒罪孽的，必收灾祸。他逞怒的杖，也必废掉。
He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity： and the rod of his anger shall fail.
22：9 眼目慈善的，就必蒙福。因他将食物分给穷人。
He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed； for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

Cast out the scorner， and contention shall go out； yea， strife and reproach shall cease.
22：11 喜爱清心的人，因他嘴上的恩言，王必与他为友。
He that loveth pureness of heart， for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
22：12 耶和华的眼目，眷顾聪明人。却倾败奸诈人的言语。
The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge， and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
22：13 懒惰人说，外头有狮子，我在街上，就必被杀。
The slothful man saith， There is a lion without， I shall be slain in the streets.
22：14 淫妇的口为深坑，耶和华所憎恶的，必陷在其中。
The mouth of strange women is a deep pit： he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
22：15 愚蒙迷住孩童的心，用管教的杖可以远远赶除。
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child； but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
22：16 欺压贫穷为要利己的，并送礼与富户的，都必缺乏。
He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches， and he that giveth to the rich， shall surely come to want.
22：17 你须侧耳听受智慧人的言语，留心领会我的知识，Bow down thine ear， and hear the words of the wise， and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
22：18 你若心中存记，嘴上咬定，这便为美。
For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee； they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
22：19 我今日以此特特指教你，为要使你倚靠耶和华。
That thy trust may be in the LORD， I have made known to thee this day， even to thee.
22：20 谋略和知识的美事，我岂没有写给你吗。
Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge，
22：21 要使你知道真言的实理，你好将真言回覆那打发你来的人。
That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth； that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee？
22：22 贫穷人，你不可因他贫穷，就抢夺他的物。也不可在城门口欺压困苦人。
Rob not the poor， because he is poor： neither oppress the afflicted in the gate：
22：23 因耶和华必为他辨屈。抢夺他的，耶和华必夺取那人的命。
For the LORD will plead their cause， and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
22：24 好生气的人，不可与他结交。暴怒的人，不可与他来往。
Make no friendship with an angry man； and with a furious man thou shalt not go：
22：25 恐怕你效法他的行为，自己就陷在网罗里。
Lest thou learn his ways， and get a snare to thy soul.
22：26 不要与人击掌，不要为欠债的作保。
Be not thou one of them that strike hands， or of them that are sureties for debts.
22：27 你若没有什么偿还，何必使人夺去你睡卧的床呢。
If thou hast nothing to pay， why should he take away thy bed from under thee？
22：28 你先祖所立的地界，你不可挪移。
Remove not the ancient landmark， which thy fathers have set.
22：29 你看见办事殷勤的人吗，他必站在君王面前，必不站在下贱人面前。
Seest thou a man diligent in his business？ he shall stand before kings； he shall not stand before mean men.
