Chinese (traditional)
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth:
and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! A person finds joy in giving an apt reply—
and how good is a timely word! To make an apt answer is a joy to a man,
and a word in season, how good it is! A man has joy by the answer of his mouth,
And a word spoken in due season, how good it is! Everyone enjoys a fitting reply;
it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time! To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone,
and a word in season, how good it is! Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth.
How good is a word at the right time! A person has joy in an apt answer,
And how delightful is a timely word! A man is joyful when he utters apt answers,
and even more satisfying is a word in season. Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for ever.
