Proverbs 28:2
简体中文
영문 원문
Transgression - Better, rebellion. A revolt against a ruler leads to rapid changes of dynasty (the whole history of the kingdom of Israel was a proof of this), but "with men of understanding and knowledge thus shall he (the prince) continue." True wisdom will lead people to maintain an existing order. The King James Version implies that political disorders may come as the punishment of any national sin.
The state - Better, it (the land) shall surely prolong its days in stability.

Proverbs 28:3
简体中文
百姓把一个像自己一样贫穷的平民抬举到权位上,却发现他是众欺压者中最恶劣的:他掠夺他们,直到最后一口食物,就像暴雨不带来丰饶,反而冲走谷种。
영문 원문
People raise a man of the people, poor like themselves, to power. They find him the worst oppressor of all, plundering them to their last morsels, like the storm-rain which sweeps off the seed-corn instead of bringing fertility.
5
Proverbs 28:5
简体中文
这显出道德与理智之间深刻的相互依存。我们的心寻求认识神到什么程度,我们在一切事上的判断就正确到什么程度。比较 James 1:23-24。
영문 원문
The deep interdependence of morality and intellect. We have a right judgment in all things in proportion as our hearts seek to know God. Compare James 1:23-24.
6
Proverbs 28:6
简体中文
行事乖僻的——按字面是"在双重道路上乖僻的"。比较 Ecclesiasticus 2:12 与 James 1:8。
영문 원문
Perverse in his ways - literally, "Perverse in his double ways." Compare Ecclesiasticus 2:12 and James 1:8.
8
Proverbs 28:8
简体中文
Unjust gain——应略去"不义"一词:"重利与利益"合起来构成"从重利所得的利益"这一观念。不义之财不能长存,过些时候便转入懂得善用它们的人手中。
영문 원문
Unjust gain - Omit "unjust:" "usury and gain" make up the notion of "gain derived from usury." Ill-gotten gains do not prosper, after a time they pass into hands that know how to use them better.
10
Proverbs 28:10
简体中文
当恶人成功引诱义人时,恶行似乎赢得了一场胜利。但这胜利是自取灭亡的。诱惑人的必受他所当受的刑罚;而那无可指摘的人若忠于自己的本分,反将因这试炼变得刚强、高贵。
영문 원문
When the wicked succeed in tempting the righteous, Vice seems to win a triumph. But the triumph is suicidal. The tempter will suffer the punishment he deserves, and the blameless, if true to themselves, will be strengthened and ennobled by the temptation.
11
Proverbs 28:11
简体中文
财富使理智的辨别力迟钝,贫穷却使其锐利。
영문 원문
Wealth blunts, poverty sharpens, the critical power of intellect.
12
Proverbs 28:12
简体中文
有大荣耀——人们穿上节日的盛装,醒目地彰显自己的喜乐。
人就躲藏——更好的译法是“人们躲藏自己”:他们因惧怕而退缩蜷伏,却仍被搜查出来。
영문 원문
There is great glory - Men array themselves in festive apparel, and show their joy conspicuously.
A man is hidden - Better, men hide themselves, they shrink and cower for fear, and yet are hunted out.
13
Proverbs 28:13
简体中文
得自由的条件是认罪与改正:得罪神的,向神认罪;得罪人的,向人认罪。伦理智慧在这一点上的教导,与诗人、先知、使徒以及我们主自己的教导完全一致。
영문 원문
The conditions of freedom are confession and amendment, confession to God of sins against Him, to men of sins against them. The teaching of ethical wisdom on this point is identical with that of psalmist, prophet, apostles, and our Lord Himself.
14
Proverbs 28:14
简体中文
这里的“惧怕”与其说是崇敬的敬畏,不如说是焦虑的、神经质的良心敏感。在大多数人看来,这种气质似乎是自寻烦恼之人的特征;但在看得更深的人眼中,这乃是蒙福的状态,而与之相反的麻木不仁,终必以痛苦收场。
영문 원문
The "fear" here is not so much reverential awe, as anxious, or "nervous" sensitiveness of conscience. To most men this temperament seems that of the self-tormentor. To him who looks deeper it is a condition of blessedness, and the callousness which is opposed to it ends in misery.
15
Proverbs 28:15
简体中文
这是政治悲惨的一种形态:受压迫百姓的贫穷不但加深他们的痛苦,更激怒统治者那残暴的兽性。
영문 원문
The form of political wretchedness, when the poverty of the oppressed subjects not only embitters their sufferings, but exasperates the brutal ferocity of the ruler.
17
Proverbs 28:17
简体中文
这是故意杀人的情形,不是那较轻的过失杀人——逃城是为后者设立的。灵魂上带着这罪的人,只是匆匆奔向自己的毁灭。看见他的人只当远远站着,任神的审判自行成就。
영문 원문
The case of willful murder, not the lesser crime of manslaughter for which the cities of refuge were appointed. One, with that guilt on his soul, is simply hasting on to his own destruction. Those who see him must simply stand aloof, and let God's judgments fulfill themselves.
18
Proverbs 28:18
简体中文
在他的道上——依 Proverbs 28:6 的译法,更宜作“在他的二重道上”。这里与其说是诡诈之恶,不如说是摇摆不定之恶,即缺乏那惟一的公义引导原则,与“行事正直”之人的坦率形成对照。
立时跌倒——更准确的译法是:必在其中一个(他的道)上跌倒。把互不相容之事强行结合的尝试注定失败。人不能又事奉神,又事奉玛门。
영문 원문
In his ways - Rather "in his double ways" (as in Proverbs 28:6). The evil of vacillation rather than that of craft, the want of the one guiding principle of right, is contrasted with the straightforwardness of the man that "walketh uprightly."
Shall fall at once - Better, shall fall in one of them (his ways). The attempt to combine incompatibilities is sure to fail. Men cannot serve God and Mammon.
20
Proverbs 28:20
简体中文
罪恶不在于拥有财富,甚至不在于获取财富,而在于贪婪的急切躁进。
不免受罚——依旁注译法更佳,与“诚实人”所得的诸多“福分”相对照。
영문 원문
Not the possession of wealth, nor even the acquisition of it, is evil, but the eager haste of covetousness.
Shall not be innocent - Better, as in the margin, in contrast with the many "blessings" of the "faithful."
21
Proverbs 28:21
简体中文
不诚实的偏私使那些受它奴役的人枉法犯罪,即使诱饵完全微不足道。“一块饼”历来是形容赤贫至极的谚语(可比较旁注的参考经文)。
영문 원문
Dishonest partiality leads men who have enslaved themselves to it to transgress, even when the inducement is altogether disproportionate. A "piece of bread" was proverbial at all times as the most extreme point of poverty (compare the marginal reference).
22
Proverbs 28:22
简体中文
贪婪的性情不仅导致不诚实,也导致嫉妒的“恶眼”;而那吝啬、无休止忧虑的性情,则引他走向贫穷。
영문 원문
The covetous temper leads not only to dishonesty, but to the "evil eye" of envy; and the temper of grudging, carking care, leads him to poverty.
24
Proverbs 28:24
简体中文
"是毁灭者的同伴"——意即他与公然违法的强盗站在同等地步。可将此与主论各耳板(Corban)的教导相比较,Mark 7:10-13。
영문 원문
Is the companion of a destroyer - i. e., he stands on the same footing as the open, lawless robber. Compare this with our Lord's teaching as to Corban Mark 7:10-13.
25
Proverbs 28:25
简体中文
"必得丰裕"——他必享受丰盛与安宁这双重福分(可比较 Proverbs 11:25)。
영문 원문
Shall be made fat - He shall enjoy the two-fold blessing of abundance and tranquility (compare Proverbs 11:25).
26
Proverbs 28:26
简体中文
这是倚靠耶和华之人的智慧,与信赖自己之人的愚昧之间的对比。
영문 원문
The contrast between the wisdom of him who trusts in the Lord, and the folly of self-trust.
27
Proverbs 28:27
简体中文
"佯为不见"——意即转脸不顾、无视穷人。参看Isaiah 1:15。
영문 원문
Hideth his eyes - i. e., Turns away from, disregards, the poor. Compare Isaiah 1:15.
过犯——更准确的译法是"背叛"。背叛统治者导致王朝频迭(以色列国的全部历史就是明证),但"与明白知识和智慧的人同在,他(君王)就必长久"。真智慧引导人维护既有的秩序。钦定本暗示,政治的动乱可能作为国民之罪的刑罚而来。
那国——更准确的译法是:它(那地)必在安定中长久延续。
