Proverbs 2
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and lay up my commandments with thee;
1我兒，你若領受我的言語， 存記我的命令，
2So that thou make thine ear attend unto wisdom, and thy heart incline to discernment;
2側耳聽智慧， 專心求聰明，
3Yea, if thou call for understanding, and lift up thy voice for discernment;
3呼求明哲， 揚聲求聰明，
4If thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;
4尋找它，如尋找銀子， 搜求它，如搜求隱藏的珍寶，
5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
5你就明白敬畏耶和華， 得以認識上帝。
6For the LORD giveth wisdom, out of His mouth cometh knowledge and discernment;
6因為，耶和華賜人智慧； 知識和聰明都由他口而出。
7He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright, He is a shield to them that walk in integrity;
7他給正直人存留真智慧， 給行為純正的人作盾牌，
8That He may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of His godly ones.
8為要保守公平人的路， 護庇虔敬人的道。
9Then shalt thou understand righteousness and justice, and equity, yea, every good path.
9你也必明白仁義、公平、 正直、一切的善道。
10For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;
10智慧必入你心； 你的靈要以知識為美。
11Discretion shall watch over thee, discernment shall guard thee;
11謀略必護衛你； 聰明必保守你，
12To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the men that speak froward things;
12要救你脫離惡道， 脫離說乖謬話的人。
13Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
13那等人捨棄正直的路， 行走黑暗的道，
14Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of evil;
14歡喜作惡， 喜愛惡 人 的乖僻，
15Who are crooked in their ways, and perverse in their paths;
15在他們的道中彎曲， 在他們的路上偏僻。
16To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the alien woman that maketh smooth her words;
16智 慧 要救你脫離淫婦， 就是那油嘴滑舌的外女。
17That forsaketh the lord of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
17她離棄幼年的配偶， 忘了上帝的盟約。
18For her house sinketh down unto death, and her paths unto the shades;
18她的家陷入死地； 她的路偏向陰間。
19None that go unto her return, neither do they attain unto the paths of life;
19凡到她那裏去的，不得轉回， 也得不着生命的路。
20That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
20智慧 必使你行善人的道， 守義人的路。
21For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the whole-hearted shall remain in it.
21正直人必在世上居住； 完全人必在地上存留。
22But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and the faithless shall be plucked up out of it.
22惟有惡人必然剪除； 奸詐的，必然拔出。
