Berean Standard Bible
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Does not wisdom call out, and understanding raise her voice?
1智慧豈不呼叫？ 聰明豈不發聲？
2On the heights overlooking the road, at the crossroads she takes her stand.
2她在道旁高處的頂上， 在十字路口站立，
3Beside the gates to the city, at the entrances she cries out:
3在城門旁，在城門口， 在城門洞，大聲說：
4“To you, O men, I call out, and my cry is to the sons of men.
4眾人哪，我呼叫你們， 我向世人發聲。
5O simple ones, learn to be shrewd; O fools, gain understanding.
5說：愚蒙人哪，你們要會悟靈明； 愚昧人哪，你們當心裏明白。
6Listen, for I speak of noble things, and the opening of my lips will reveal right.
6你們當聽，因我要說極美的話； 我張嘴要論正直的事。
7For my mouth will speak the truth, and wickedness is detestable to my lips.
7我的口要發出真理； 我的嘴憎惡邪惡。
8All the words of my mouth are righteous; none are crooked or perverse.
8我口中的言語都是公義， 並無彎曲乖僻。
9They are all plain to the discerning, and upright to those who find knowledge.
9有聰明的，以為明顯， 得知識的，以為正直。
10Receive my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold.
10你們當受我的教訓，不受白銀； 寧得知識，勝過黃金。
11For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire compares with her.
11因為智慧比珍珠更美； 一切可喜愛的都不足與比較。
12I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.
12我－智慧以靈明為居所， 又尋得知識和謀略。
13To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.
13敬畏耶和華在乎恨惡邪惡； 那驕傲、狂妄，並惡道， 以及乖謬的口，都為我所恨惡。
14Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight and strength.
14我有謀略和真知識； 我乃聰明，我有能力。
15By me kings reign, and rulers enact just laws;
15帝王藉我坐國位； 君王藉我定公平。
16By me princes rule, and all nobles who govern justly.
16王子和首領， 世上一切的審判官，都是藉我掌權。
17I love those who love me, and those who seek me early shall find me.
17愛我的，我也愛他； 懇切尋求我的，必尋得見。
18With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and righteousness.
18豐富尊榮在我； 恆久的財並公義也在我。
19My fruit is better than gold, pure gold, and my harvest surpasses choice silver.
19我的果實勝過黃金，強如精金； 我的出產超乎高銀。
20I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,
20我在公義的道上走， 在公平的路中行，
21bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full.
21使愛我的，承受貨財， 並充滿他們的府庫。
22The LORD created me as His first course, before His works of old.
22在耶和華造化的起頭， 在太初創造萬物之先，就有了我。
23From everlasting I was established, from the beginning, before the earth began.
23從亙古，從太初， 未有世界以前，我已被立。
24When there were no watery depths, I was brought forth, when no springs were overflowing with water.
24沒有深淵， 沒有大水的泉源，我已生出。
25Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth,
25大山未曾奠定， 小山未有之先，我已生出。
26before He made the land or fields, or any of the dust of the earth.
26耶和華還沒有創造大地和田野， 並世上的土質，我已生出。
27I was there when He established the heavens, when He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,
27他立高天，我在那裏； 他在淵面的周圍，劃出圓圈。
28when He established the clouds above, when the fountains of the deep gushed forth,
28上使穹蒼堅硬， 下使淵源穩固，
29when He set a boundary for the sea, so that the waters would not surpass His command, when He marked out the foundations of the earth.
29為滄海定出界限，使水不越過他的命令， 立定大地的根基。
30Then I was a skilled craftsman at His side, and His delight day by day, rejoicing always in His presence.
30那時，我在他那裏為工師， 日日為他所喜愛， 常常在他面前踴躍，
31I was rejoicing in His whole world, delighting together in the sons of men.
31踴躍在他為人 預備 可住之地， 也喜悅住在世人之間。
32Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
32眾子啊，現在要聽從我， 因為謹守我道的，便為有福。
33Listen to instruction and be wise; do not ignore it.
33要聽教訓就得智慧， 不可棄絕。
34Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at the posts of my doorway.
34聽從我、日日在我門口仰望、 在我門框旁邊等候的，那人便為有福。
35For whoever finds me finds life and obtains the favor of the LORD.
35因為尋得我的，就尋得生命， 也必蒙耶和華的恩惠。
36But he who fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death.”
36得罪我的，卻害了自己的性命； 恨惡我的，都喜愛死亡。
