箴言 9
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1智慧建造房屋， 鑿成七根柱子，
1Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars;
2宰殺牲畜， 調和旨酒， 設擺筵席；
2She hath prepared her meat, she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
3打發使女出去， 自己在城中至高處呼叫，
3She hath sent forth her maidens, she calleth, upon the highest places of the city:
4說：誰是愚蒙人，可以轉到這裏來！ 又對那無知的人說：
4'Whoso is thoughtless, let him turn in hither'; as for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him:
5你們來，吃我的餅， 喝我調和的酒。
5'Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6你們愚蒙人，要捨棄 愚蒙 ， 就得存活，並要走光明的道。
6Forsake all thoughtlessness, and live; and walk in the way of understanding.
7指斥褻慢人的，必受辱罵； 責備惡人的，必被玷污。
7He that correcteth a scorner getteth to himself shame, and he that reproveth a wicked man, it becometh unto him a blot.
8不要責備褻慢人，恐怕他恨你； 要責備智慧人，他必愛你。
8Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee; reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
9教導 智慧人，他就越發有智慧； 指示義人，他就增長學問。
9Give to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
10敬畏耶和華是智慧的開端； 認識至聖者便是聰明。
10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the All-holy is understanding.
11你藉着我，日子必增多， 年歲也必加添。
11For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
12你若有智慧，是與自己有益； 你若褻慢，就必獨自擔當。
12If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself; and if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.'
13愚昧的婦人喧嚷； 她是愚蒙，一無所知。
13The woman Folly is riotous; she is thoughtless, and knoweth nothing.
14她坐在自己的家門口， 坐在城中高處的座位上，
14And she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15呼叫過路的， 就是直行其道的人，
15To call to them that pass by, who go right on their ways:
16說：誰是愚蒙人，可以轉到這裏來！ 又對那無知的人說：
16'Whoso is thoughtless, let him turn in hither'; and as for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him:
17偷來的水是甜的， 暗 吃的 餅是好的。
17'Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.'
18人卻不知有陰魂在她那裏； 她的客在陰間的深處。
18But he knoweth not that the shades are there; that her guests are in the depths of the nether-world.
