Sirach

1The sluggard is pelted with a dirty stone, and all men will speak of his disgrace.

2The sluggard is pelted with the dung of oxen: and every one that toucheth him will shake his hands.

3A son ill taught is the confusion of the father: and a foolish daughter shall be to his loss.

4A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but she that confoundeth, becometh a disgrace to her father.

5She that is bold shameth both her father and husband, and will not be inferior to the ungodly: and shall be disgraced by them both.

6A tale out of time is like music in mourning: but the stripes and instruction of wisdom are never out of time.

7He that teacheth a fool, is like one that glueth a potsherd together.

8He that telleth a word to him that heareth not, is like one that waketh a man out of a deep sleep.

9He speaketh with one that is asleep, who uttereth wisdom to a fool: and in the end of the discourse he saith: Who is this?

10Weep for the dead, for his light hath failed: and weep for the fool, for his understanding faileth.

11Weep but a little for the dead, for he is at rest.

12For the wicked life of a wicked fool is worse than death.

13The mourning for the dead is seven days: but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of their life.

14Talk not much with a fool, and go not with him that hath no sense.

15Keep thyself from him, that thou mayst not have trouble, and thou shalt not be defiled with his sin.

16Turn away from him, and thou shalt find rest, and shalt not be wearied out with his folly.

17What is heavier than lead? and what other name hath he but fool?

18Sand and salt, and a mass of iron is easier to bear, than a man without sense, that is both foolish and wicked.

19A frame of wood bound together in the foundation of a building, shall not be loosed: so neither shall the heart that is established by advised counsel.

20The thought of him that is wise at all times, shall not be depraved by fear.

21As pales set in high places, and plasterings made without cost, will not stand against the face of the wind:

22So also a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool shall not resist against the violence of fear.

23As a fearful heart in the thought of a fool at all times will not fear, so neither shall he that continueth always in the commandments of God.

24He that pricketh the eye, bringeth out tears: and he that pricketh the heart, bringeth forth resentment.

25He that flingeth a stone at birds, shall drive them away: so he that upbraideth his friend, breaketh friendship.

26Although thou hast drawn a sword at a friend, despair not: for there may be a returning. To a friend,

27If thou hast opened a sad mouth, fear not, for there may be a reconciliation: except upbraiding, and reproach, and pride, and disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for in all these cases a friend will flee away.

28Keep fidelity with a friend in his poverty, that in his prosperity also thou mayst rejoice.

29In the time of his trouble continue faithful to him, that thou mayst also be heir with him in his inheritance.

30As the vapour of a chimney, and the smoke of the fire goeth up before the fire: so also injurious words, and reproaches, and threats, before blood.

31I will not be ashamed to salute a friend, neither will I hide myself from his face: and if any evil happen to me by him, I will bear it.

32But every one that shall hear it, will beware of him.

33Who will set a guard before my mouth, and a sure seal upon my lips, that I fall not by them, and that my tongue destroy me not?

1ai ai cũng chê cười khinh bỉ.

2ai đụng vào là phủi tay lập tức.

3nhưng quả là thiệt thòi nếu sinh ra con gái.

4gái trơ trẽn là nỗi buồn cho người sinh ra nó.

5nó sẽ bị cả hai khinh miệt.

6nhưng roi vọt và lời răn đe là khôn ngoan mọi lúc.

9như đánh thức kẻ đang ngủ mê mệt.

10mình vừa nói xong, nó đã hỏi : “Cái gì thế ?”

11còn đứa ngu đần, tuy sống mà tệ hơn là chết.

12thì phải khóc than chúng bao lâu chúng còn sống.

13và khỏi chán nản vì sự ngu đần của nó.

14Có chi mà nặng hơn chì, tên nó là gì nếu chẳng là “ngu” ?

15Vác cát, muối hay khối sắt, còn dễ hơn chịu đựng một đứa ngu.

16gặp thời vận hạn cũng không nao núng.

17khác nào bức tranh khảm trên tường bóng.

18gặp nỗi lo sợ nào cũng không đứng vững.

19chạm vào lòng khiến lộ ra nỗi lòng.

20mắng nhiếc bạn bè khiến tình bạn tiêu tan.

21đừng thất vọng : vẫn có thể hàn gắn.

22làm bạn hữu nào cũng phải trốn xa.

23để khi nó hưởng gia tài, con cũng được hưởng chung.

24lời lăng nhục mở đường cho máu đổ.

25chẳng việc gì mà phải lánh mặt.

26thì ai biết chuyện cũng đều coi chừng hắn.

27và lưỡi tôi không làm tôi vong mạng ?
