Chinese (traditional)
A person finds joy in giving an apt reply—
and how good is a timely word! A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth:
and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! 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. A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
