箴言 2
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
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 lay up my commandments with thee;
2側耳聽智慧， 專心求聰明，
2So that thou make thine ear attend unto wisdom, and thy heart incline to discernment;
3呼求明哲， 揚聲求聰明，
3Yea, if thou call for understanding, and lift up thy voice for discernment;
4尋找它，如尋找銀子， 搜求它，如搜求隱藏的珍寶，
4If thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;
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 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。
6For the LORD giveth wisdom, out of His mouth cometh knowledge and discernment;
7他給正直人存留真智慧， 給行為純正的人作盾牌，
7He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright, He is a shield to them that walk in integrity;
8為要保守公平人的路， 護庇虔敬人的道。
8That He may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of His godly ones.
9你也必明白仁義、公平、 正直、一切的善道。
9Then shalt thou understand righteousness and justice, and equity, yea, every good path.
10智慧必入你心； 你的靈要以知識為美。
10For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;
11謀略必護衛你； 聰明必保守你，
11Discretion shall watch over thee, discernment shall guard thee;
12要救你脫離惡道， 脫離說乖謬話的人。
12To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the men that speak froward things;
13那等人捨棄正直的路， 行走黑暗的道，
13Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14歡喜作惡， 喜愛惡 人 的乖僻，
14Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of evil;
15在他們的道中彎曲， 在他們的路上偏僻。
15Who are crooked in their ways, and perverse in their paths;
16智 慧 要救你脫離淫婦， 就是那油嘴滑舌的外女。
16To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the alien woman that maketh smooth her words;
17她離棄幼年的配偶， 忘了上帝的盟約。
17That forsaketh the lord of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18她的家陷入死地； 她的路偏向陰間。
18For her house sinketh down unto death, and her paths unto the shades;
19凡到她那裏去的，不得轉回， 也得不着生命的路。
19None that go unto her return, neither do they attain unto the paths of life;
20智慧 必使你行善人的道， 守義人的路。
20That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21正直人必在世上居住； 完全人必在地上存留。
21For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the whole-hearted shall remain in it.
22惟有惡人必然剪除； 奸詐的，必然拔出。
22But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and the faithless shall be plucked up out of it.
