箴言 2
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1我兒，你若領受我的言語， 存記我的命令，
1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and wilt hide my commandments with thee,
2側耳聽智慧， 專心求聰明，
2That thy ear may hearken to wisdom: Incline thy heart to know prudence:
3呼求明哲， 揚聲求聰明，
3For if thou shalt call for wisdom, and incline thy heart to prudence:
4尋找它，如尋找銀子， 搜求它，如搜求隱藏的珍寶，
4If thou shalt seek her as money, and shalt dig for her as for a treasure:
5你就明白敬畏耶和華， 得以認識上帝。
5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and shalt find the knowledge of God.
6因為，耶和華賜人智慧； 知識和聰明都由他口而出。
6Because the Lord giveth wisdom: and out of his mouth cometh prudence and knowledge.
7他給正直人存留真智慧， 給行為純正的人作盾牌，
7He will keep the salvation of the righteous, and protect them that walk in simplicity.
8為要保守公平人的路， 護庇虔敬人的道。
8Keeping the paths of justice, and guarding the ways of saints.
9你也必明白仁義、公平、 正直、一切的善道。
9Then shalt thou understand justice, and judgment, and equity, and every good path.
10智慧必入你心； 你的靈要以知識為美。
10If wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge please thy soul:
11謀略必護衛你； 聰明必保守你，
11Counsel shall keep thee, and prudence shall preserve thee,
12要救你脫離惡道， 脫離說乖謬話的人。
12That thou mayst be delivered from the evil way, and from the man that speaketh perverse things:
13那等人捨棄正直的路， 行走黑暗的道，
13Who leave the right way, and walk by dark ways:
14歡喜作惡， 喜愛惡 人 的乖僻，
14Who are glad when they have done evil, and rejoice in most wicked things:
15在他們的道中彎曲， 在他們的路上偏僻。
15Whose ways are perverse, and their steps infamous.
16智 慧 要救你脫離淫婦， 就是那油嘴滑舌的外女。
16That thou mayst be delivered from the strange women, and from the stranger, who softeneth her words:
17她離棄幼年的配偶， 忘了上帝的盟約。
17And forsaketh the guide of her youth,
18她的家陷入死地； 她的路偏向陰間。
18And hath forgotten the covenant of her God: for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths to hell.
19凡到她那裏去的，不得轉回， 也得不着生命的路。
19None that go in unto her shall return again, neither shall they take hold of the paths of life,
20智慧 必使你行善人的道， 守義人的路。
20That thou mayst walk in a good way: and mayst keep the paths of the just.
21正直人必在世上居住； 完全人必在地上存留。
21For they that are upright shall dwell in the earth, and the simple shall continue in it.
22惟有惡人必然剪除； 奸詐的，必然拔出。
22But the wicked shall be destroyed from the earth: and they that do unjustly shall be taken away from it.
