Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend that you may know prudence.
1众子啊，要听父亲的教训， 留心得知聪明。
2I will give you a good gift, forsake not my law.
2因我所给你们的是好教训； 不可离弃我的法则。
3For I also was my father’s son, tender and as an only son in the sight of my mother:
3我在父亲面前为孝子， 在母亲眼中为独一的娇儿。
4And he taught me, and said: Let thy heart receive my words, keep my commandments, and thou shalt live.
4父亲教训我说：你心要存记我的言语， 遵守我的命令，便得存活。
5Get wisdom, get prudence: forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth.
5要得智慧，要得聪明，不可忘记， 也不可偏离我口中的言语。
6Forsake her not, and she shall keep thee: love her, and she shall preserve thee.
6不可离弃智慧，智慧就护卫你； 要爱她，她就保守你。
7The beginning of wisdom, get wisdom, and with all thy possession purchase prudence.
7智慧为首； 所以 ，要得智慧。 在你一切所得之内必得聪明 。
8Take hold on her, and she shall exalt thee: thou shalt be glorified by her, when thou shalt embrace her.
8高举智慧，她就使你高升； 怀抱智慧，她就使你尊荣。
9She shall give to thy head increase of graces, and protect thee with a noble crown.
9她必将华冠加在你头上， 把荣冕交给你。
10Hear, O my son, and receive my words, that years of life may be multiplied to thee.
10我儿，你要听受我的言语， 就必延年益寿。
11I will shew thee the way of wisdom, I will lead thee by the paths of equity:
11我已指教你走智慧的道， 引导你行正直的路。
12Which when thou shalt have entered, thy steps shall not be straitened, and when thou runnest thou shalt not meet a stumblingblock.
12你行走，脚步必不致狭窄； 你奔跑，也不致跌倒。
13Take hold on instruction, leave it not: keep it, because it is thy life.
13要持定训诲，不可放松； 必当谨守，因为它是你的生命。
14Be not delighted in the paths of the wicked, neither let the way of evil men please thee.
14不可行恶人的路； 不要走坏人的道。
15Flee from it, pass not by it: go aside, and forsake it.
15要躲避，不可经过； 要转身而去。
16For they sleep not except they have done evil: and their sleep is taken away unless they have made some to fall.
16这等人若不行恶，不得睡觉； 不使人跌倒，睡卧不安；
17They eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of iniquity.
17因为他们以奸恶吃饼， 以强暴喝酒。
18But the path of the just, as a shining light, goeth forwards and increaseth even to perfect day.
18但义人的路好像黎明的光， 越照越明，直到日午。
19The way of the wicked is darksome: they know not where they fall.
19恶人的道好像幽暗， 自己不知因什么跌倒。
20My son, hearken to my words, and incline thy ear to my sayings.
20我儿，要留心听我的言词， 侧耳听我的话语，
21Let them not depart from thy eyes, keep them in the midst of thy heart:
21都不可离你的眼目， 要存记在你心中。
22For they are life to those that find them, and health to all flesh.
22因为得着它的，就得了生命， 又得了医全体的良药。
23With all watchfulness keep thy heart, because life issueth out from it.
23你要保守你心，胜过保守一切， 因为一生的果效是由心发出。
24Remove from thee a froward mouth, and let detracting lips be far from thee.
24你要除掉邪僻的口， 弃绝乖谬的嘴。
25Let thy eyes look straight on, and let thy eyelids go before thy steps.
25你的眼目要向前正看； 你的眼睛当向前直观。
26Make straight the path for thy feet, and all thy ways shall be established.
26要修平你脚下的路， 坚定你一切的道。
27Decline not to the right hand, nor to the left: turn away thy foot from evil. For the Lord knoweth the ways that are on the right hand: but those are perverse which are on the left hand. But he will make thy courses straight, he will bring forward thy ways in peace.
27不可偏向左右； 要使你的脚离开邪恶。
