| 箴言-Proverbs 第 29 章 |
| 29:1 | 人屢次受責備，仍然硬著頸項，他必頃刻破敗，無法可治。 He who hardens his neck after being often reproved Will suddenly be broken beyond remedy. |
| 29:2 | 義人增多，民就喜樂；惡人掌權，民就歎息。 When the righteous increase, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. |
| 29:3 | 愛慕智慧的，使父親喜樂；與妓女結交的，浪費貲財。 Whoever loves wisdom makes his father glad, But he who keeps company with harlots wastes his substance. |
| 29:4 | 王藉公平，使國堅立，但收取賄賂的，使國傾覆。 The king by justice establishes the land, But a man who takes bribes overthrows it. |
| 29:5 | 諂媚鄰舍的，就是張設網羅絆他的腳。 A man who flatters his neighbor Spreads a net for his steps. |
| 29:6 | 惡人因過犯，自陷網羅，義人卻歡呼喜樂。 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare, But the righteous man sings and rejoices. |
| 29:7 | 義人知道窮人的權益；惡人沒有聰明，就不得而知。 The righteous man knows the rights of the poor; The wicked man has no understanding of such knowledge. |
| 29:8 | 褻慢人煽惑通城，智慧人卻使怒氣轉消。 Scorners set a city aflame, But wise men turn away wrath. |
| 29:9 | 智慧人與愚妄人相爭，愚妄人或怒或笑，總不能止息。 If a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man, The fool is either angry or laughs, and there is no rest. |
| 29:10 | 好流人血的，恨惡完全人，尋索正直人的性命。 The bloodthirsty hate one who is perfect, And they seek the life of the upright. |
| 29:11 | 愚昧人怒氣全發，智慧人忍氣含怒。 A fool utters all his anger, But a wise man holds it back. |
| 29:12 | 君王若聽信虛假的話，他一切臣僕必都是奸惡的。 If a ruler pays attention to a false word, All his servants are wicked. |
| 29:13 | 貧窮人和欺壓人的，在一件事上都一樣，就是他們的眼目都蒙耶和華光照。 The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: Jehovah gives light to the eyes of them both. |
| 29:14 | 君王若憑真實判斷窮人，他的國位必永遠堅立。 If a king judges the poor in truth, His throne will be established forever. |
| 29:15 | 杖打和責備能賜智慧，放縱的孩子使他母親羞愧。 The rod and reproof give wisdom, But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother. |
| 29:16 | 惡人加多，過犯也加多；義人必看見他們跌倒。 When the wicked increase, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall. |
| 29:17 | 管教你的兒子，他就使你得安息；他也必使你魂裡喜悅。 Correct your son, and he will give you rest; He will also give delight to your soul. |
| 29:18 | 沒有異象，民就放肆；惟遵守律法的，便為有福。 Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law. |
| 29:19 | 只用言語，僕人不肯受管教；他雖然明白，也沒有反應。 A servant will not be corrected by words alone; For though he understands, there will be no response. |
| 29:20 | 你見過言語急躁的人麼？愚昧人比他更有指望。 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him. |
| 29:21 | 人將僕人從幼嬌養，這僕人終久必成了他的兒子。 He who delicately brings up his servant from a child Will have him as a son in the end. |
| 29:22 | 好生氣的人挑啟紛爭，暴怒的人多有過犯。 An angry man stirs up contention, And a furious man abounds in transgression. |
| 29:23 | 人的驕傲必使他降卑，靈裡謙卑的必得尊榮。 A man's pride will bring him low, But he who is of a lowly spirit will obtain honor. |
| 29:24 | 與盜賊均分的，是恨惡自己的性命；他聽見叫人發誓作證的聲音，卻不言語。 Whoever is partner with a thief hates his own soul; He hears the adjuration and utters nothing. |
| 29:25 | 懼怕人的陷入網羅，惟有信靠耶和華的，必得高舉。 The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever puts his trust in Jehovah will be exalted. |
| 29:26 | 多人尋求王的恩寵，惟有從耶和華，人才得公理。 Many seek the ruler's favor, But justice for man comes from Jehovah. |
| 29:27 | 不公正的人，為義人所憎嫌；行徑正直的人，為惡人所憎惡。 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, And he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked man. |
