Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Silver hath beginnings of its veins, and gold hath a place wherein it is melted.
1銀子有礦； 煉金有方。
2Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone melted with heat is turned into brass.
2鐵從地裏挖出； 銅從石中鎔化。
3He hath set a time for darkness, and the end of all things he considereth, the stone also that is in the dark and the shadow of death.
3人為黑暗定界限， 查究幽暗陰翳的石頭，直到極處，
4The flood divideth from the people that are on their journey, those whom the food of the needy man hath forgotten, and who cannot be come at.
4在無人居住之處刨開礦穴， 過路的人 也想不到他們； 又與人遠離，懸在空中搖來搖去。
5The land, out of which bread grew in its place, hath been overturned with fire.
5至於地，能出糧食， 地內好像被火翻起來。
6The stones of it are the place of sapphires, and the clods of it are gold.
6地中的石頭有藍寶石， 並有金沙。
7The bird hath not known the path, neither hath the eye of the vulture beheld it.
7礦中的路鷙鳥不得知道； 鷹眼也未見過。
8The children of the merchants have not trodden it, neither hath the lioness passed by it.
8狂傲的野獸未曾行過； 猛烈的獅子也未曾經過。
9He hath stretched forth his hand to the flint, he hath overturned mountains from the roots.
9人伸手鑿開堅石， 傾倒山根，
10In the rocks he hath cut out rivers, and his eye hath seen every precious thing.
10在磐石中鑿出水道， 親眼看見各樣寶物。
11The depths also of rivers he hath searched, and hidden things he hath brought forth to light.
11他封閉水不得滴流， 使隱藏的物顯露出來。
12But where is wisdom to be found, and where is the place of understanding?
12然而，智慧有何處可尋？ 聰明之處在哪裏呢？
13Man knoweth not the price thereof, neither is it found in the land of them that live in delights.
13智慧的價值無人能知， 在活人之地也無處可尋。
14The depth saith: It is not in me: and the sea saith: It is not with me.
14深淵說：不在我內； 滄海說：不在我中。
15The finest gold shall not purchase it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it.
15智慧非用黃金可得， 也不能平白銀為它的價值。
16It shall not be compared with the dyed colours of India, or with the most precious stone sardonyx, or the sapphire.
16俄斐 金和貴重的紅瑪瑙， 並藍寶石，不足與較量；
17Gold or crystal cannot equal it, neither shall any vessels of gold be changed for it.
17黃金和玻璃不足與比較； 精金的器皿不足與兌換。
18High and eminent things shall not be mentioned in comparison of it: but wisdom is drawn out of secret places.
18珊瑚、水晶都不足論； 智慧的價值勝過珍珠。
19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equal to it, neither shall it be compared to the cleanest dyeing.
19古實 的紅璧璽不足與比較； 精金也不足與較量。
20Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
20智慧從何處來呢？ 聰明之處在哪裏呢？
21It is hid from the eyes of all living. and the fowls of the air know it not.
21是向一切有生命的眼目隱藏， 向空中的飛鳥掩蔽。
22Destruction and death have said: With our ears we have heard the fame thereof.
22滅沒和死亡說： 我們風聞其名。
23God understandeth the way of it, and he knoweth the place thereof.
23上帝明白智慧的道路， 曉得智慧的所在。
24For he beholdeth the ends of the world: and looketh on all things that are under heaven.
24因他鑒察直到地極， 遍觀普天之下，
25Who made a weight for the winds and weighed the waters by measure.
25要為風定輕重， 又度量諸水；
26When he gave a law for the rain, and a way for the sounding storms.
26他為雨露定命令， 為雷電定道路。
27Then he saw it, and declared, and prepared, and searched it.
27那時他看見智慧，而且述說； 他堅定，並且查究。
28And he said to man: Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom: and to depart from evil, is understanding.
28他對人說：敬畏主就是智慧； 遠離惡便是聰明。
