ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

28:1
φεύγει ἀσεβὴς μηδενὸς διώκοντος δίκαιος δὲ ὥσπερ λέων πέποιθεν
The ungodly flees when no one pursues, but the righteous is confident like a lion.
不敬虔的人無人追趕也逃跑;義人卻像獅子一樣坦然無懼。
28:2
δῑ ἁμαρτίας ἀσεβῶν κρίσεις ἐγείρονται ἀνὴρ δὲ πανοῦργος κατασβέσει αὐτάς
Through the sins of the ungodly, lawsuits are stirred up, but a shrewd man will quench them.
因不敬虔之人的罪,爭訟就興起;通達人卻能止息這些事。
28:3
ἀνδρεῖος ἐν ἀσεβείαις συκοφαντεῖ πτωχούς ὥσπερ ὑετὸς λάβρος καὶ ἀνωφελής
A man bold in acts of ungodliness oppresses the poor, like a violent and unprofitable rain.
在不敬虔的事上強悍的人欺壓窮人,如同暴烈而無益的雨。
28:4
οὕτως οἱ ἐγκαταλείποντες τὸν νόμον ἐγκωμιάζουσιν ἀσέβειαν οἱ δὲ ἀγαπῶντες τὸν νόμον περιβάλλουσιν ἑαυτοῖς τεῖχος
So those who forsake the law praise ungodliness, but those who love the law put a wall around themselves.
照樣,離棄律法的人稱讚不敬虔;愛律法的人卻為自己築起牆垣。
28:5
ἄνδρες κακοὶ οὐ νοήσουσιν κρίμα οἱ δὲ ζητοῦντες τὸν κύριον συνήσουσιν ἐν παντί
Evil men will not understand judgment, but those who seek the Lord will understand in everything.
惡人不明白公理;尋求主的人卻在凡事上通達。
28:6
κρείσσων πτωχὸς πορευόμενος ἐν ἀληθείᾳ πλουσίου ψευδοῦς
Better is a poor man walking in truth than a rich man who is false.
行在真理中的窮人,勝過虛謊的富人。
28:7
φυλάσσει νόμον υἱὸς συνετός ὃς δὲ ποιμαίνει ἀσωτίαν ἀτιμάζει πατέρα
An understanding son keeps the law, but he who shepherds debauchery dishonors his father.
聰明的兒子謹守律法;牧養放蕩的,卻羞辱他的父親。
28:8
ὁ πληθύνων τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτοῦ μετὰ τόκων καὶ πλεονασμῶν τῷ ἐλεῶντι πτωχοὺς συνάγει αὐτόν
He who multiplies his wealth by interest and increase gathers it for the one who has mercy on the poor.
藉利息和增值加增自己財富的,是為那憐憫窮人的積聚財富。
28:9
ὁ ἐκκλίνων τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ εἰσακοῦσαι νόμου καὶ αὐτὸς τὴν προσευχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐβδέλυκται
He who turns his ear away from listening to the law has himself made his prayer an abomination.
轉耳不聽律法的,他自己的禱告也成了可憎惡的。
28:10
ὃς πλανᾷ εὐθεῖς ἐν ὁδῷ κακῇ εἰς διαφθορὰν αὐτὸς ἐμπεσεῖται οἱ δὲ ἄνομοι διελεύσονται ἀγαθὰ καὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς αὐτά
He who leads the upright astray in an evil way will himself fall into destruction; and the lawless will pass by good things and will not enter into them.
引誘正直人走上惡路的,必自己掉在毀壞裡;不法的人必從美物旁邊經過,卻不得進入其中。
28:11
σοφὸς παρ’ ἑαυτῷ ἀνὴρ πλούσιος πένης δὲ νοήμων καταγνώσεται αὐτοῦ
A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a discerning poor man sees through him.
富足人自以為有智慧,有悟性的窮人卻能看透他。
28:12
διὰ βοήθειαν δικαίων πολλὴ γίνεται δόξα ἐν δὲ τόποις ἀσεβῶν ἁλίσκονται ἄνθρωποι
Through the help of the righteous great glory comes about, but in the places of the ungodly men are caught.
因義人的幫助,就大有榮耀;在不敬虔之人的地方,人卻被擄獲。
28:13
ὁ ἐπικαλύπτων ἀσέβειαν ἑαυτοῦ οὐκ εὐοδωθήσεται ὁ δὲ ἐξηγούμενος ἐλέγχους ἀγαπηθήσεται
He who covers over his own ungodliness will not prosper, but he who declares reproofs will be loved.
遮掩自己不敬虔之事的,必不亨通;陳明責備的,必蒙人愛。
28:14
μακάριος ἀνήρ ὃς καταπτήσσει πάντα δῑ εὐλάβειαν ὁ δὲ σκληρὸς τὴν καρδίαν ἐμπεσεῖται κακοῖς
Blessed is the man who shrinks from everything out of reverence, but he who is hard of heart will fall into evils.
因敬畏而在凡事上戰兢的人有福了;心剛硬的必陷在禍患中。
28:15
λέων πεινῶν καὶ λύκος διψῶν ὃς τυραννεῖ πτωχὸς ὢν ἔθνους πενιχροῦ
A hungry lion and a thirsty wolf — such is he who, being himself poor, tyrannizes a needy nation.
飢餓的獅子、乾渴的狼,就是那本身貧窮卻轄制貧乏之民的人。
28:16
βασιλεὺς ἐνδεὴς προσόδων μέγας συκοφάντης ὁ δὲ μισῶν ἀδικίαν μακρὸν χρόνον ζήσεται
A king lacking revenues is a great extortioner, but he who hates injustice will live a long time.

28:17
ἄνδρα τὸν ἐν αἰτίᾳ φόνου ὁ ἐγγυώμενος φυγὰς ἔσται καὶ οὐκ ἐν ἀσφαλείᾳ παίδευε υἱόν καὶ ἀγαπήσει σε καὶ δώσει κόσμον τῇ σῇ ψυχῇ οὐ μὴ ὑπακούσῃς ἔθνει παρανόμῳ
He who goes surety for a man charged with murder will be a fugitive and not in safety. Discipline your son, and he will love you and will give adornment to your soul; you shall not obey a lawless nation.
為犯殺人之罪的人作保的,必成為逃亡的,不得安穩。要管教你的兒子,他就必愛你,並使你的魂有華美;你不可順從不法的國民。
28:18
ὁ πορευόμενος δικαίως βεβοήθηται ὁ δὲ σκολιαῖς ὁδοῖς πορευόμενος ἐμπλακήσεται
He who walks righteously has been helped, but he who walks in crooked ways will be entangled.
行事公義的人已蒙幫助;行在彎曲道路上的人必被纏住。

ὁ ἐργαζόμενος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γῆν πλησθήσεται ἄρτων ὁ δὲ διώκων σχολὴν πλησθήσεται πενίας
He who works his own land will be filled with bread, but he who pursues idleness will be filled with poverty.

不顧義人情面的,是不好的;這樣的人必為一塊餅賣人。
28:22
σπεύδει πλουτεῖν ἀνὴρ βάσκανος καὶ οὐκ οἶδεν ὅτι ἐλεήμων κρατήσει αὐτοῦ
A grudging man hastens to be rich, and does not know that a merciful man will get the better of him.
嫉妒的人急於發財,卻不知道憐憫人的必勝過他。
28:23
ὁ ἐλέγχων ἀνθρώπου ὁδοὺς χάριτας ἕξει μᾶλλον τοῦ γλωσσοχαριτοῦντος
He who reproves a man's ways will have more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.
責備人行徑的,比那用舌頭諂媚的更得恩寵。

ὃς ἀποβάλλεται πατέρα ἢ μητέρα καὶ δοκεῖ μὴ ἁμαρτάνειν οὗτος κοινωνός ἐστιν ἀνδρὸς ἀσεβοῦς
He who casts off father or mother and thinks he does not sin, this man is a partner of an ungodly man.
丟棄父母、還以為自己沒有犯罪的,這人是不敬虔之人的同夥。

He who trusts in a bold heart, such a one is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be saved.
心裡狂妄而自恃的,這樣的人是愚昧的;憑智慧行事的,必蒙拯救。

ὃς δίδωσιν πτωχοῖς οὐκ ἐνδεηθήσεται ὃς δὲ ἀποστρέφει τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν πολλῇ ἀπορίᾳ ἔσται
He who gives to the poor will not be in need, but he who turns away his eye will be in great distress.
賙濟窮人的必不缺乏;轉眼不看的必大受困乏。
