箴言 31
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1利慕伊勒 王的言語，是他母親教訓他的真言。
1The words of king Lamuel. The vision wherewith his mother instructed him.
2我的兒啊，我腹中生的兒啊， 我許願得的兒啊！我當怎樣 教訓 你呢？
2What, O my beloved, what, O the beloved of my womb, what, O the beloved of my vows?
3不要將你的精力給婦女； 也不要有敗壞君王的行為。
3Give not thy substance to women, and thy riches to destroy kings.
4利慕伊勒 啊，君王喝酒，君王喝酒不相宜； 王子說濃酒在那裏也不相宜；
4Give not to kings, O Lamuel, give not wine to kings: because there is no secret where drunkenness reigneth:
5恐怕喝了就忘記律例， 顛倒一切困苦人的是非。
5And lest they drink and forget judgments, and pervert the cause of the children of the poor.
6可以把濃酒給將亡的人喝， 把 清 酒給苦心的人喝，
6Give strong drink to them that are sad: and wine to them that are grieved in mind:
7讓他喝了，就忘記他的貧窮， 不再記念他的苦楚。
7Let them drink, and forget their want, and remember their sorrow no more.
8你當為啞巴開口， 為一切孤獨的伸冤。
8Open thy mouth for the dumb, and for the causes of all the children that pass.
9你當開口按公義判斷， 為困苦和窮乏的辨屈。
9Open thy mouth, decree that which is just, and do justice to the needy and poor.
