箴言第26章

《圣经》箴言-第26章

箴26:1 夏天落雪，收割时下雨，都不相宜；愚昧人得尊荣也是如此。 (串)撒上12:17

†[吕]夏天落雪、收割时下雨、很不适合；愚顽人得尊荣、照样不相宜。

†[思]有如夏日下雪，秋收降雨，不合时令；同样愚昧的人获得光荣，亦不适宜。

†[当代]夏天降雪，秋收下雨，都不合时令；愚昧人获得光荣也不合宜。

†[新译]夏天落雪，收割时下雨，都不合宜；照样，愚昧人获得尊荣，也不合宜。

†[Wlb]蠢者得荣非宜、如夏时雨雪、如穑时下雨、

†[Xdv]赞扬愚昧人，无异夏天降雪，收割时下雨，都不适宜。

†[Kjv]As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.

†[Nkjv]As snow in summer and rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool.

†[BBE]Like snow in summer and rain when the grain is being cut, so honour is not natural for the foolish.

†[GNT] Praise for a fool is out of place, like snow in summer or rain at harvest time.

†[NIV]Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, honor is not fitting for a fool.

本会注释　　本节开始有关愚昧人的箴言。在巴勒斯坦，夏天下雪是很不自然的。秋天降雨也是很不适宜的（见撒上12:17）。同样，愚昧人得到尊荣也是不合宜并且有危险性的。把一个缺乏智慧的人提到尊位上，就等于向他提供害人的机会，使真正有资格提拔的人灰心。

箴26:2 麻雀往来，燕子翻飞；这样，无故的咒诅也必不临到。 (串)民23:8申23:5

†[吕]麻雀怎样飞来飞去，燕子怎样翻飞，无缘无故而发的咒诅也怎样不会应验（原文：来到）。

†[思]有如麻雀逃走，燕子飞去：无端的咒骂，也一去无踪。

†[当代]翻飞的麻雀和翱翔的燕子不会无端降下；无故的咒诅也不会降在被咒诅的人身上。

†[新译]麻雀怎样飞来飞去，燕子怎样翻飞；照样，无故的咒诅也不会临到人。

†[Wlb]无故之诅、如雀之翔、如燕之飞、靡所栖止、

†[Xdv]无理的咒诅只像鸟儿飞来飞去，不能加害于人。

†[Kjv]As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

†[Nkjv]Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, So a curse without cause shall not alight.

†[BBE]As the sparrow in her wandering and the swallow in her flight, so the curse does not come without a cause.

†[GNT] Curses cannot hurt you unless you deserve them. They are like birds that fly by and never light.

†[NIV]Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest.

本会注释　　恶敌所发出的咒诅不会干扰正直无辜的人，因为他们受上帝的保护，也不怕邪术（民23:23）。上帝也不允许世界或灵界的仇敌给祂的儿女带来他们所无法忍受的苦难（伯1:9-12；2:4-6；林前10:13）。

箴26:3 鞭子是为打马，辔头是为勒驴；刑杖是为打愚昧人的背。 (串)箴10:13;19:29

†[吕]鞭子是为打马，嚼环是为勒驴豫备的；刑杖是为打愚顽人的背脊而设的。

†[思]马需要皮鞭，驴需要辔头，愚昧人的脊背需要棍棒。

†[当代]驯马用马鞭，驭驴用缰绳，管教愚昧人却要用棒子。

†[新译]鞭子是为了打马，嚼环是为了勒驴；刑杖是为了打愚昧人的背。

†[Wlb]鞭为马、勒为驴、杖为蠢人之背、

†[Xdv]用鞭子打马，用嚼环勒住驴口，对愚昧人也得动用棍子。

†[Kjv]A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.

†[Nkjv]A whip for the horse, A bridle for the donkey, And a rod for the fool's back.

†[BBE]A whip for the horse, a mouth-bit for the ass, and a rod for the back of the foolish.

†[GNT] You have to whip a horse, you have to bridle a donkey, and you have to beat a fool.

†[NIV]A whip for the horse, a halter for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools!

本会注释　　鞭子是为策励骡马，辔头是为掌握方向，踢马刺是为控制速度。要防止愚昧人因不智之举害人害已，就得进行严厉的管教（见箴10:13；19:29）。

箴26:4 不要照愚昧人的愚妄话回答他，恐怕你与他一样。 (串)太16:1-4

†[吕]不要照愚顽人的愚妄话回答他，免得你也跟他一样。

†[思]回答愚昧人，别照样愚昧，免得你也像他一样；

†[当代]倘若你答覆一个愚蠢的问题，你就变得像发问的人一样愚昧。

†[新译]不要照着愚昧人的愚妄回答他，免得你像他一样。

†[Wlb]应对蠢人、勿循其蠢、恐尔同乎其人、

†[Xdv]回答愚蠢的问题，等于跟发问的人一样愚蠢。

†[Kjv]Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

†[Nkjv]Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Lest you also be like him.

†[BBE]Do not give to the foolish man a foolish answer, or you will be like him.

†[GNT] If you answer a silly question, you are just as silly as the person who asked it.

†[NIV]Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself.

本会注释　　本节似乎与下一节相矛盾，但所罗门是在运用双关的手法。Ki在这里译为“照”。按愚昧人的愚妄话回答他，就是把自己降格到他的水准，接受他的人生观念。那些询问基督有关纳税事项的人，是想引诱祂接受他们自私的思维方式。如果祂照祂仇敌的愚妄答复他们，他们就会抓住指控祂。但祂不接受他们的前提。祂的回答出于真正的智慧，使他们蒙羞住口（太22:15-22）。

箴26:5 要照愚昧人的愚妄话回答他，免得他自以为有智慧。

†[吕]要照愚顽人的愚妄话回答他，免得他自以为有智慧。

†[思]回答愚昧人，有时应愚昧，免得他自以为聪明。

†[当代]要用适当的方法答覆愚昧的问题，好叫发问的人知道自己并不聪明。

†[新译]要照着愚昧人的愚妄回答他，免得他自以为有智慧。

†[Wlb]应对蠢人、当循其蠢、免彼自视为智、

†[Xdv]要用愚蠢人的话回答愚蠢人；这样，发问的人就会知道，他并不如自己所想的那么聪明。

†[Kjv]Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

†[Nkjv]Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own eyes.

†[BBE]Give a foolish man a foolish answer, or he will seem wise to himself.

†[GNT] Give a silly answer to a silly question, and the one who asked it will realize that he's not as smart as he thinks.

†[NIV]Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.

本会注释　　这里的“照”是“针对”（见第4节注释）的意思。要回答愚昧人，向听的人和他本人揭露其愚蠢。也许他会认识到自己缺乏智慧，而需要追求。从某种意义上说，基督在回答法利赛人和希律党的人时（太22:15-22；见第4节注释），就是实行了这两节表面上矛盾的经文（第4,5节）。祂没有降格到他们愚昧的意识，同时又揭露了提问者的愚昧。

箴26:6 藉愚昧人手寄信的，是砍断自己的脚，自受（原文作：喝）损害。

†[吕]由愚顽人经手传话的、是砍断自己的脚，自己吸饮着强暴。

†[思]派遣愚昧人，去作传话者，是自断己足，是自寻苦恼。

†[当代]差派愚昧人带信的，实在是自讨苦吃，自招损失。

†[新译]借愚昧人的手传递信息的，是自断己足，自寻烦恼。

†[Wlb]以蠢者传言、乃自断其足、必受损伤、

†[Xdv]托愚昧人传送消息，无异砍断自己的脚，自找麻烦。

†[Kjv]He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.

†[Nkjv]He who sends a message by the hand of a fool Cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.

†[BBE]He who sends news by the hand of a foolish man is cutting off his feet and drinking in damage.

†[GNT] If you let a fool deliver a message, you might as well cut off your own feet; you are asking for trouble.

†[NIV]Like cutting off one's feet or drinking violence is the sending of a message by the hand of a fool.

本会注释　　依靠愚昧人办大事是根本无法完成任务的。这个使者所造成的损失，可能要超过从来没有把信发出去的损失。

箴26:7 瘸子的脚空存无用；箴言在愚昧人的口中也是如此。

†[吕]箴言在愚顽人口中、就如瘸子的腿虚悬着无用。

†[思]犹如跛子的脚虚悬无力，箴言在愚人口中也是如此。

†[当代]箴言到了愚昧人嘴里，就好像跛子的脚，全无用处。

†[新译]箴言在愚昧人口中，就像瘸子的腿，虚悬无用。

†[Wlb]箴言在蠢者之口、如跛者之足、虚悬而无用、

†[Xdv]愚昧人引用箴言，正像瘸子使用他的脚。

†[Kjv]The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

†[Nkjv]Like the legs of the lame that hang limp Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

†[BBE]The legs of one who has no power of walking are hanging loose; so is a wise saying in the mouth of the foolish.

†[GNT] A fool can use a proverb about as well as crippled people can use their legs.

†[NIV]Like a lame man's legs that hang limp is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.

本会注释　　空存无用。显然源于希伯来词根dalah，意为“打（水）”（见出2:19）。但在这里含义不明。有人认为dalah 应译为“悬着”或“无力垂下”。东方有一种畸形儿，腿又细又弯，根本无用。
　　说箴言是巴勒斯坦地区的人所热中的娱乐。一个人的智慧往往通过这种讲演竞赛表现出来。愚昧人说箴言可能抓不住要点，所以达不到效果。

箴26:8 将尊荣给愚昧人的，好象人把石子包在机弦里。

†[吕]将尊荣给愚顽人、像一口袋宝石放在石堆里（传统：像把石头绑在甩石机上）。

†[思]将光荣体面授给愚昧人，无异将宝石投在石堆。

†[当代]把尊荣授给愚昧人，就好像把石子紧紧缠裹在投石器上。

†[新译]把荣耀给愚昧人的，就像人把石子系在投石器上。

†[Wlb]尊荣加于愚者、如以宝玉置于砾石、

†[Xdv]赞扬愚昧人，有如把大石块放在弓弦上发射。

†[Kjv]As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.

†[Nkjv]Like one who binds a stone in a sling Is he who gives honor to a fool.

†[BBE]Giving honour to a foolish man is like attempting to keep a stone fixed in a cord.

†[GNT] Praising someone who is stupid makes as much sense as tying a stone in a sling.

†[NIV]Like tying a stone in a sling is the giving of honor to a fool.

本会注释　　把石子包在机弦里，投射时石子发不出去，不仅打不中目标，而且还危及自身的安全，因为石子很可能反弹到机弦皮带的另一端，击中身体的部位。

箴26:9 箴言在愚昧人的口中，好象荆棘刺入醉汉的手。

†[吕]箴言在愚顽人口中、就像荆条入于醉汉手里。

†[思]箴言在愚人口中，犹如荆棘在醉汉手中。

†[当代]箴言在愚昧人口中，就像荆棘落在醉汉手里。

†[新译]箴言在愚昧人口中，就像荆棘在醉汉手里。

†[Wlb]箴言在蠢者之口、如荆棘在醉人之手、

†[Xdv]愚昧人引用智言，正像醉汉想拔出手上的刺。

†[Kjv]As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.

†[Nkjv]Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

†[BBE]Like a thorn which goes up into the hand of a man overcome by drink, so is a wise saying in the mouth of a foolish man.

†[GNT] A fool quoting a wise saying reminds you of a drunk trying to pick a thorn out of his hand.

†[NIV]Like a thornbush in a drunkard's hand is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.

本会注释　　这是按原文直译。但该比喻含义不明。`alah不一定是指 “刺入”。根据`alah以后的用法，这句话还可译为“荆棘落到醉汉手中”。醉汉手中有了荆棘，就会在愚昧的怒火中对人造成很大的伤害。所以愚昧人所说的箴言不但无用，而且有危险。

箴26:10 雇愚昧人的，与雇过路人的，就象射伤众人的弓箭手。

†[吕]像工头的样样自己作；但那雇愚顽人的、就等于雇过路人（本节有几处点窜）。

†[思]雇用愚人或过路人的人，无异射伤众人的弓箭手。

†[当代]雇用愚昧人或路人做工的，就好像射手乱箭伤人。

†[新译]雇用愚昧人和过路人的，就像胡乱射伤众人的弓箭手。

†[Wlb]以愚者与路人为佣、如射者发矢伤众、

†[Xdv]雇主随便雇用愚昧人，会使每一个有关的人都受损害。

†[Kjv]The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.

†[Nkjv]The great God who formed everything Gives the fool his hire and the transgressor his wages.

†[BBE]Like an archer wounding all who go by, is a foolish man overcome by drink.

†[GNT] An employer who hires any fool that comes along is only hurting everybody concerned.

†[NIV]Like an archer who wounds at random is he who hires a fool or any passer-by.

本会注释　　本节的含义有许多争议。参耶50:29。可能指雇愚昧人和不胜任的人会危及所雇的人和雇主，就像毒箭会危及被射的人和射箭的人一样。

箴26:11 愚昧人行愚妄事，行了又行，就如狗转过来吃它所吐的。 (串)出8:15|彼后2:22

†[吕]愚顽人将他的愚妄事行了又行，正如狗转过来、吃自己所呕吐的。

†[思]愚人一再重复他的愚行，犹如狗再来吃它呕吐之物。

†[当代]愚昧人重蹈覆辙，就好像狗再吃自己呕吐出来的东西一样。

†[新译]愚昧人一再重复他的愚妄，正像狗转过来，吃自己所吐的。

†[Wlb]蠢者复行其愚、如犬反食其所吐、

†[Xdv]愚蠢人一再做愚蠢事，就如狗回头吃它所吐出的东西。

†[Kjv]As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

†[Nkjv]As a dog returns to his own vomit, So a fool repeats his folly.

†[BBE]Like a dog going back to the food which he has not been able to keep down, is the foolish man doing his foolish acts over again.

†[GNT] A fool doing some stupid thing a second time is like a dog going back to its vomit.

†[NIV]As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.

本会注释　　如狗。见彼后2:22。
　　行了又行。由于他是愚昧人，只要他一直愚昧，就一定会重蹈覆辙。无论他是否经常说想要聪明一点，只有完全改变身心，才能治得了他，。

箴26:12 你见自以为有智慧的人吗？愚昧人比他更有指望。 (串)箴29:20路18:11罗12:16

†[吕]你见过自以为有智慧的人么？愚顽人比这种人还有可希望处。

†[思]你是否见过自作聪明的人？寄望于愚人必寄望于他更好。

†[当代]你见过自以为聪明的人吗？愚昧的人比他还有希望呢！

†[新译]你见过自以为有智慧的人吗？愚昧人比他更有指望。

†[Wlb]尔见自视为智者乎、蠢者之望、较彼犹大、

†[Xdv]胸无一策而自以为聪明的人，连最愚蠢的人也胜过他。

†[Kjv]Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

†[Nkjv]Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

†[BBE]Have you seen a man who seems to himself to be wise? There is more hope for the foolish than for him.

†[GNT] The most stupid fool is better off than those who think they are wise when they are not.

†[NIV]Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

本会注释　　自以为有智慧的人不愿意学习（见太9:12；罗1:22；12:16；启3:17,18），但承认自己愚昧的人却乐意受教。

箴26:13 懒惰人说：道上有猛狮，街上有壮狮。 (串)箴22:13

†[吕]懒惰人说：“哎呀！路上有猛狮哦！广场之间有壮狮哦！”

†[思]懒惰人常说：“路上有猛狮，街市有壮狮。”

†[当代]懒惰的人说：“路上有狮子，街上也有狮子。”于是就不肯出去工作。

†[新译]懒惰人说：“路上有狮子，广场上也有狮子。”

†[Wlb]惰者云、途中有狮、衢中有狮、

†[Xdv]懒惰人待在家里，他怕什么呢？怕外面的狮子吗？

†[Kjv]The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.

†[Nkjv]The lazy man says, "There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion is in the streets!"

†[BBE]The hater of work says, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.

†[GNT] Why don't lazy people ever get out of the house? What are they afraid of? Lions?

†[NIV]The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!"

本会注释　　参箴22:13。

箴26:14 门在枢纽转动，懒惰人在床上也是如此。

†[吕]门扇在枢纽上转来转去；懒惰人在床上翻左翻右。

†[思]懒人在床榻上辗转，犹如门扇在枢纽上旋转。

†[当代]懒惰的人赖在床上，辗转不肯起来，就像门枢上的铰链，转动开关一样。

†[新译]懒惰人在床上翻动，就像门绕着门铰转动一样。

†[Wlb]惰者辗转于床、如门在枢、

†[Xdv]懒惰人在上翻来覆去，就像门扇在枢纽上旋转。

†[Kjv]As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.

†[Nkjv]As a door turns on its hinges, So does the lazy man on his bed.

†[BBE]A door is turned on its pillar, and the hater of work on his bed.

†[GNT] Lazy people turn over in bed. They get no farther than a door swinging on its hinges.

†[NIV]As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.

本会注释　　在床上辗转反侧说明他不需要睡太多。他起来又躺下是因为懒惰，不愿意面对人生的问题（见箴6:9；24:33）。

箴26:15 懒惰人放手在盘子里，就是向口撤回也以为劳乏。 (串)箴19:24

†[吕]懒惰人把手栽在盘子里，就是缩回来、拿到口里、也觉得累。

†[思]懒人伸手在盘中取食，送到口边也感到辛苦。

†[当代]懒人伸手在盘中拿取食物，就连缩手送到嘴边，也嫌辛苦。

†[新译]懒惰人把手放在盘子里，连拿食物送回口边也觉得劳累。

†[Wlb]惰者染指于盂、反之于口、犹以为劳、

†[Xdv]懒惰人伸手取食，连放进自己口里也嫌麻烦。

†[Kjv]The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.

†[Nkjv]The lazy man buries his hand in the bowl; It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.

†[BBE]The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin: lifting it again to his mouth is a weariness to him.

†[GNT] Some people are too lazy to put food in their own mouths.

†[NIV]The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.

本会注释　　参箴19:24。

箴26:16 懒惰人看自己比七个善于应对的人更有智慧。

†[吕]懒惰人自以为比七个知趣于应对的人还有智慧。

†[思]懒惰人自认为聪明人，远胜过七个善于应对的人。

†[当代]懒人自命不凡，自认比七个善于应对的人还要聪明。

†[新译]懒惰人看自己，比七个善于应对的人更有智慧。

†[Wlb]惰者自视为智、愈于善应对者七人、

†[Xdv]懒惰人以为自己比七个对答如流的人更有智慧。

†[Kjv]The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.

†[Nkjv]The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can answer sensibly.

†[BBE]The hater of work seems to himself wiser than seven men who are able to give an answer with good sense.

†[GNT] A lazy person will think he is smarter than seven men who can give good reasons for their opinions.

†[NIV]The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly.

本会注释　　懒惰人自以为比任何聪明人都更有智慧，因为他懒于自己动脑筋。他满足于先入之见，接受所有顺耳的观点。“善于应对的人”则对问题作长时间的思考，认识到许多问题都有着多面性。他们避免了不假思索所造成的武断愚昧。

箴26:17 过路被事激动，管理不干己的争竞，好象人揪住狗耳。

†[吕]受激怒去管不干己事的争端，好像揪住过路之狗的耳朵。

†[思]干涉与己无关的争端，有如抓过路狗的尾巴。

†[当代]好管闲事，把自己牵涉进纷争里的，就好像动手揪著狗的耳朵一样。

†[新译]过路的人被激怒，去干涉与自己无关的争执，就像人揪住狗的耳朵。

†[Wlb]行路而预不干己之争、如执犬耳、

†[Xdv]事不干己而跟人争吵，等于上街去揪住野狗的耳朵。

†[Kjv]He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

†[Nkjv]He who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own Is like one who takes a dog by the ears.

†[BBE]He who gets mixed up in a fight which is not his business, is like one who takes a dog by the ears while it is going by.

†[GNT] Getting involved in an argument that is none of your business is like going down the street and grabbing a dog by the ears.

†[NIV]Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own.

本会注释　　揪住一条东方野狗的耳朵，制服它或赶它走是很费气力的。干预别人的争吵，可能使人卷入超出他预料的困境。

箴26:18 人欺凌邻舍，却说：“我岂不是戏耍吗？”他就象疯狂的人抛掷火把、利箭，与杀人的兵器（杀人的兵器原文作死亡）。 (串)弗5:4

†[吕]人哄骗了邻舍，却说：“我不是开玩笑么？”这好像疯了的人胡乱抛掷火把、利箭、和凶器（原文：死亡）。

†[思]谁骗了人而后说：“我只开玩笑！”

†[当代]欺骗了朋友还佯作开玩笑的人，跟乱抛火把、胡乱放箭、危害人命的狂汉没有什么分别。

†[新译]人欺骗了邻舍，却说：“我不过是开玩笑罢了。”他就像疯狂的人，投掷火把、利箭和杀人的武器。

†[Wlb]癫者掷炬、发矢行杀、

†[Xdv]欺哄邻舍，却说是逢场作戏，无异疯子玩弄杀人武器。

†[Kjv]As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,

†[Nkjv]Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,

†[BBE]As one who is off his head sends about flaming sticks and arrows of death,

†[GNT] Someone who tricks someone else and then claims that he was only joking is like a crazy person playing with a deadly weapon.

†[NIV]Like a madman shooting firebrands or deadly arrows

本会注释　　欺凌。图谋陷害邻舍的人就像疯子（第18节）。他的行为会置人于死地。一旦被发现，他就说自己是开玩笑。严重的伤害往往是那些对陷入愚蠢阴谋的朋友幸灾乐祸的人所造成的。
　　像疯狂的人。不是职业杀手。胡乱射箭，抛掷火把，伤害无辜的人一定是失去理智了。

箴26:19 －

†[吕]－

†[思]犹如狂人投掷火把、利箭和死亡。

†[当代]－

†[新译]－

†[Wlb]人欺邻里、自谓戏玩者、亦如之、

†[Xdv]－

†[Kjv]So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?

†[Nkjv]Is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, "I was only joking!"

†[BBE]So is the man who gets the better of his neighbour by deceit, and says, Am I not doing so in sport?

†[GNT] －

†[NIV]is a man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I was only joking!"

箴26:20 火缺了柴就必熄灭；无人传舌，争竞便止息。 (串)箴22:10

†[吕]缺了柴，火就熄灭；无人传闲话、纷争便静息。

†[思]没有木柴，火即熄灭；没有谗言，争端即息。

†[当代]柴烧尽了，火便熄灭；谗言止住了，争端便会平息。

†[新译]没有柴，火就熄灭；没有搬弄是非的人，纷争就平息。

†[Wlb]绝薪则火灭、无谗则争息、

†[Xdv]没有木头，火就熄灭；没有闲话，纷争就止息。

†[Kjv]Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

†[Nkjv]Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases.

†[BBE]Without wood, the fire goes out; and where there is no secret talk, argument is ended.

†[GNT] Without wood, a fire goes out; without gossip, quarreling stops.

†[NIV]Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down.

　　传舌会破坏团结──弟兄们有时多年地友好相处，他们认为他们可以信任他们所十分了解的人，犹如信任自己家中的人，在这个自由而相互信任的团体中，不可能存在着有不同的信仰，当他们持续互相信任和兄弟般地爱情时，是十分愉快的，但是那“控告弟兄的”得以许可进入他们中间的一个人心而控制它的意志和思想时，其妒忌便产生了，在心中就怀藏着猜疑和怨恨，而且他猜测自己本应安全地在他弟兄之爱和友谊中的人，却发现自己被怀疑而不得信任了，而且他的动机也估计错误了，这错误的兄弟竟忘记他自己的人性脆弱，忘记了他有责任无邪地去思想和讲论的责任而唯恐他──作为圣徒的代表，会羞辱上帝和伤害基督的。而且他所能想到的或想象到的每个缺点就是无怜悯的评论，而这弟兄的品格是作为黑暗而可疑之人的代表。
　　有背叛神圣之委托的，凡是以兄弟般地信任来论述事件的，乃是鲁苏重复而失实的陈述，每句话、每个行为，不论是如何单纯和善意，都要被细查追究而受到那些认为太高尚，太尊重而不能得到友谊或弟兄般地信任的益处之人的冷酷而猜忌的批评。心门已向上帝的怜悯和审查以及衪的慈爱关闭了，而且那冷酷、嘲弄、藐视的精神，撒但用来向他的被害者显示。
　　世界的救赎主就是受如此对待的，而我们也暴露出这同样恶意之精神的影响。现在已是到了对朋友或兄弟的信任不是很安全的时候了。
　　在基督的日子，那些侦探如何追随衪的行踪，同样，现在他们也如何追随我们的踪迹。如果撒但能够利用那自称为是信徒的去作控告弟兄的行为，他便大大地欢喜了，因为凡是这样作的那些人，正是真正事奉他，这就如犹大出卖耶稣的时候，他虽可能作这事是无知的，撒但在如今的活动并不少于基督的日子。那些叫自己作他工作的人，必是代表他的精神。
　　谣传往往会破坏弟兄中间的团结，有些人留心用自己的眼和耳去观察发现流言蜚语。他们收集了一些在他们看来也许是不重要的小事，但是那些小事被重复和夸张及至那人使之成为一个言语的罪犯，他们的格言似乎是“去告发，我们要去告发它”，这些搬弄是非的人乃以惊人的忠实在作魔鬼的工作，他们却不知道，他们的无礼行为，就是冒犯上帝，如果他们要消耗一半活力和热情地在那所给以这不洁的工作中察查他们自己的心，他们必发现他们需要去作洁净他们心灵的许多工作。这样，他们就必没有时间去批评或处理他们的弟兄了，而且他们也必不会落在试探的权势之下。其心门必然向“他们说”或者“我已听说”等关闭了。为什么我们不允许嫉妒或恶意的猜测进入我们的心而向我们的弟兄坦率而仁慈地将我们所听到不利于他们的品格和影响的事摆在他们面前，并与他们一起和为他们祷告呢？当我们不能对那些基督的苦毒敌人爱怜和友好时，我们应培育柔和和慈爱的精神-即我们救主的特性，而这就是一种没有邪恶思想和不易激怒的爱。（《评论与通讯》1884,6,3）
本会注释　　燃料烧完以后，火就会熄灭。如果没有传话的人火上加油，许多争吵就会马上平息（见箴22:10）。

箴26:21 好争竞的人煽惑争端，就如余火加炭，火上加柴一样。 (串)箴15:18;29:22

†[吕]好纷争的人煽动争端，就如炭火上加炭、火上加柴。

†[思]谁惹事生非，挑拨争端，是在火炭上加炭，火上加柴。

†[当代]好事之徒煽动争端，就好像余火上加炭，烈焰上加柴一样。

†[新译]好争竞的人，煽动争端，就像余烬上加炭，火上加柴一样。

†[Wlb]好竞者之构争、如加炭于焰、如加薪于火、

†[Xdv]炭上加炭，火上添柴，好争吵的人煽动纷争正是这样。

†[Kjv]As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

†[Nkjv]As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife.

†[BBE]Like breath on coals and wood on fire, so a man given to argument gets a fight started.

†[GNT] Charcoal keeps the embers glowing, wood keeps the fire burning, and troublemakers keep arguments alive.

†[NIV]As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.

本会注释　　黑炭放入火中，会重新燃起火焰。挑拨离间的人不愿看到争吵平息，所以他要煽起新的仇恨和怒火。

箴26:22 传舌人的言语，如同美食，深入人的心腹。 (串)箴18:8

†[吕]背后诽谤人者的话如同珍馐美味，渗入人腹中深处。

†[思]进谗者的话，如可口美味，能深深透入肺腑的深处。

†[当代]谗言有如佳肴，人人爱尝。

†[新译]搬弄是非的人的言语如同美食；深入人的脏腑。

†[Wlb]谗毁者、言如甘旨、入人甚深、

†[Nkjv]The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles, And they go down into the inmost body.

†[BBE]The words of one who says evil of his neighbour secretly are like sweet food, they go down into the inner parts of the stomach.

†[GNT] Gossip is so tasty! How we love to swallow it!

†[NIV]The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts.

本会注释　　见@箴18:8@注释。

箴26:23 火热的嘴，奸恶的心，好象银渣包的瓦器。

†[吕]油滑（传统：火热）的咀、奸恶的心、好像釉儿包在瓦器上。

†[思]口蜜腹剑的人，有如涂上银的陶器。

†[当代]嘴边油滑，心里却是邪恶的，就好像包了银的瓦器。

†[新译]嘴唇火热，心却奸恶，就像包上银渣的瓦器。

†[Wlb]口温而心恶、犹以银滓包瓦器、

†[Xdv]言不由衷，犹如粗糙的陶器涂上一层白银。

†[Kjv]Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.

†[Nkjv]Fervent lips with a wicked heart Are like earthenware covered with silver dross.

†[BBE]Smooth lips and an evil heart are like a vessel of earth plated with silver waste.

†[GNT] Insincere talk that hides what you are really thinking is like a fine glaze on a cheap clay pot.

†[NIV]Like a coating of glaze over earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart.

本会注释　　银渣。可能指一氧化铅，涂在陶器上形成光滑的表面，使容器表面平滑而有良好的触感，尽管底下粗糙而又低值。引发真情的亲吻可能掩盖着邪恶诡诈的心（见太23:27）。人嘴里可以说热情友好的话，心里却冰冷自私。

箴26:24 怨恨人的，用嘴粉饰，心里却藏着诡诈；

†[吕]怨恨人的用咀掩饰，心里却存着诡诈；

†[思]怀恨他人的，善措词掩饰；但在他心底，却藏有阴险。

†[当代]怀恨在心的人，口蜜腹剑；

†[新译]憎恶人的用话语掩饰自己，心里却存着诡诈。

†[Wlb]怀憾之人、口务文饰、心藏诡谲、

†[Xdv]伪善的人用花言巧语掩盖仇恨的心。

†[Kjv]He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

†[Nkjv]He who hates, disguises it with his lips, And lays up deceit within himself;

†[BBE]With his lips the hater makes things seem what they are not, but deceit is stored up inside him;

†[GNT] A hypocrite hides hate behind flattering words.

†[NIV]A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but in his heart he harbors deceit.

本会注释　　怨恨人的不一定会向对方表露真情，而是假装友好，心里却积怨，直到有机会采取行动（见耶9:8）。

箴26:25 他用甜言蜜语，你不可信他，因为他心中有七样可憎恶的。 (串)诗28:3耶9:8

†[吕]他虽说出温雅的话，你不可信他，因为他心中有七样可厌恶的；

†[思]谁声调过柔，你不要相信；因在他心中，藏有七种恶。

†[当代]纵然他甜言蜜语，你也不可相信，因为他心底暗藏各种可憎的恶事。

†[新译]他的话语虽然动听，你不可信他，因为他心里有七样可厌恶的事。

†[Wlb]其言虽甘、尔勿信之、盖其心藏可恶之端有七、

†[Xdv]话虽温和，不可信他，因他心里充满憎恨。

†[Kjv]When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.

†[Nkjv]When he speaks kindly, do not believe him, For there are seven abominations in his heart;

†[BBE]When he says fair words, have no belief in him; for in his heart are seven evils:

†[GNT] They may sound fine, but don't believe him, because his heart is filled to the brim with hate.

†[NIV]Though his speech is charming, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart.

本会注释　　他用甜言蜜语。他说甜言蜜语的时候，正是需要警惕的时候。因为他儒雅的态度，只是为了欺骗听的人。
　　七样可憎恶的。七象征完全（见太12:45）。

箴26:26 他虽用诡诈遮掩自己的怨恨，他的邪恶必在会中显露。

†[吕]他虽装模作样去遮掩恨心，其邪恶总会在公会中露现出的。

†[思]仇恨虽可以诡计来掩饰，但在集会中险恶必败露。

†[当代]虽然他千方百计地去掩饰，他的邪恶却终必在众人面前败露。

†[新译]他的怨恨虽然以诡诈掩饰，但他的邪恶必在大会中显露出来。

†[Wlb]其憾恨虽盖以诡谲、其邪慝必显于会中、

†[Xdv]他也许能掩盖憎恨，但众目睽睽，都看出他的恶行。

†[Kjv]Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.

†[Nkjv]Though his hatred is covered by deceit, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.

†[BBE]Though his hate is covered with deceit, his sin will be seen openly before the meeting of the people.

†[GNT] He may disguise his hatred, but everyone will see the evil things he does.

†[NIV]His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

本会注释　　怨恨迟早会在言行中表现出来。性情暴躁的人将在全民的大会中受审。到了审判的日子，他和地上的百姓都将明白，恨弟兄的就是谋杀，就是恨上帝（见约壹3:15；4:20）。

箴26:27 挖陷坑的，自己必掉在其中；滚石头的，石头必反滚在他身上。 (串)诗7:15箴28:10传10:8

†[吕]挖陷坑的、自己必掉在其中；辊石头的、石头必反辊在他身上。

†[思]挖掘陷阱的必自陷其中，滚转石头的必为石所压。

†[当代]挖坑害人，必自陷其中；滚动石头的，反遭石头所压。

†[新译]挖掘陷坑的，自己必掉在其中；辊石头的，石头必辊回自己身上。

†[Wlb]掘阱者必自陷、转石者反自伤、

†[Xdv]挖陷阱的，自己掉了进去；滚石头的，石头滚在自己身上。

†[Kjv]Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

†[Nkjv]Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.

†[BBE]He who makes a hole in the earth will himself go falling into it: and on him by whom a stone is rolled the stone will come back again.

†[GNT] People who set traps for others get caught themselves. People who start landslides get crushed.

†[NIV]If a man digs a pit, he will fall into it; if a man rolls a stone, it will roll back on him.

本会注释　　参诗9:16；传10:8。如果报应在今生没有像落在哈曼身上那样落在恶人身上（斯7:9,10），在最后的审判时就一定会降临（启22:12）。

箴26:28 虚谎的舌恨他所压伤的人；谄媚的口败坏人的事。

†[吕]虚谎的舌头引致毁灭（经点窜翻译的）；油滑的口造成败跌。

†[Nkjv]A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it, And a flattering mouth works ruin.

†[BBE]A false tongue has hate for those who have clean hearts, and a smooth mouth is a cause of falling.

†[GNT] You have to hate someone to want to hurt him with lies. Insincere talk brings nothing but ruin.

†[NIV]A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin.

本会注释　　谄陷是危险的，因为它使对方产生骄傲，从而得不到上天所要赐予的帮助，还使他信任恭维者而成为恭维者的猎物。恭维使人看不到培养品格的必要性。
