1:1 以色列王大衛兒子所羅門的箴言．
1:1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
1:2 要使人曉得智慧和訓誨．分辨通達的言語．
1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
1:3 使人處事．領受智慧、仁義、公平、正直的訓誨．
1:3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
1:4 使愚人靈明、使少年人有知識和謀略．
1:4 To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
1:5 使智慧人聽見、增長學問、使聰明人得著智謀、
1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
1:6 使人明白箴言和譬喻、懂得智慧人的言詞和謎語。
1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
1:7 敬畏耶和華是知識的開端．愚妄人藐視智慧和訓誨。
1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
1:8 我兒、要聽你父親的訓誨、不可離棄你母親的法則〔或作指教〕．
1:8 My son, hear the instruction of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother:
1:9 因為這要作你頭上的華冠、你項上的金鍊。
1:9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto your head, and chains about your neck.
1:10 我兒、惡人若引誘你、你不可隨從。
1:10 My son, if sinners entice you, consent you not.
1:11 他們若說、你與我們同去、我們要埋伏流人之血、要蹲伏害無罪之人．
1:11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privately for the innocent without cause:
1:12 我們好像陰間、把他們活活吞下．他們如同下坑的人、被我們囫圇吞了．
1:12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
1:13 我們必得各樣寶物、將所擄來的裝滿房屋．
1:13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
1:14 你與我們大家同分．我們共用一個囊袋。
1:14 Cast in your lot among us; let us all have one purse:
1:15 我兒、不要與他們同行一道．禁止你腳走他們的路．
1:15 My son, walk not you in the way with them; refrain your foot from their path:
1:16 因為他們的腳奔跑行惡、他們急速流人的血。
1:16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
1:17 好像飛鳥、網羅設在眼前仍不躲避．
1:17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
1:18 這些人埋伏、是為自流己血．蹲伏、是為自害己命。
1:18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privately for their own lives.
1:19 凡貪戀財利的、所行之路、都是如此．這貪戀之心、乃奪去得財者之命。
1:19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which takes away the life of the owners thereof.
1:20 智慧在街市上呼喊、在寬闊處發聲．
1:20 Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets:
1:21 在熱鬧街頭喊叫、在城門口、在城中發出言語．
1:21 She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she utters her words, saying,
1:22 說、你們愚昧人喜愛愚昧、褻慢人喜歡褻慢、愚頑人恨惡知識、要到幾時呢。
1:22 How long, all of you simple ones, will all of you love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
1:23 你們當因我的責備回轉．我要將我的靈澆灌你們、將我的話指示你們。
1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
1:24 我呼喚、你們不肯聽從．我伸手、無人理會．
1:24 Because I have called, and all of you refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
1:25 反輕棄我一切的勸戒、不肯受我的責備。
1:25 But all of you have set at nothing all my counsel, and refused my reproof:
1:26 你們遭災難、我就發笑．驚恐臨到你們、我必嗤笑．
1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes;
1:27 驚恐臨到你們、好像狂風、災難來到、如同暴風．急難痛苦臨到你們身上．
1:27 When your fear comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish comes upon you.
1:28 那時、你們必呼求我、我卻不答應、懇切的尋找我、卻尋不見．
1:28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
1:29 因為你們恨惡知識、不喜愛敬畏耶和華、
1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
1:30 不聽我的勸戒、藐視我一切的責備、
1:30 They refused my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
1:31 所以必喫自結的果子、充滿自設的計謀。
1:31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
1:32 愚昧人背道、必殺己身．愚頑人安逸、必害己命。
1:32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
1:33 惟有聽從我的、必安然居住、得享安靜、不怕災禍。
1:33 But whoso hearkens unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
2:1 我兒、你若領受我的言語、存記我的命令、
2:1 My son, if you will receive my words, and hide my commandments with you;
2:2 側耳聽智慧、專心求聰明．
2:2 So that you incline yours ear unto wisdom, and apply yours heart to understanding;
2:3 呼求明哲、揚聲求聰明、
2:3 Yea, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding;
2:4 尋找他如尋找銀子、搜求他如搜求隱藏的珍寶、
2:4 If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;
2:5 你就明白敬畏耶和華、得以認識 神。
2:5 Then shall you understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
2:6 因為、耶和華賜人智慧．知識和聰明都由他口而出．
2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom: out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
2:7 他給正直人存留真智慧、給行為純正的人作盾牌．
2:7 He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
2:8 為要保守公平人的路、護庇虔敬人的道．
2:8 He keeps the paths of judgment, and perserves the way of his saints.
2:9 你也必明白仁義、公平、正直、一切的善道。
2:9 Then shall you understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
2:10 智慧必入你心．你的靈要以知識為美．
2:10 When wisdom enters into yours heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto your soul;
2:11 謀略必護衛你．聰明必保守你．
2:11 Discretion shall preserve you, understanding shall keep you:
2:12 要救你脫離惡道〔惡道或作惡人的道〕、脫離說乖謬話的人。
2:12 To deliver you from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaks perverse things;
2:13 那等人捨棄正直的路、行走黑暗的道、
2:13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
2:14 歡喜作惡、喜愛惡人的乖僻．
2:14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of the wicked;
2:15 在他們的道中彎曲、在他們的路上偏僻。
2:15 Whose ways are crooked, and they perverse in their paths:
2:16 智慧要救你脫離淫婦、就是那油嘴滑舌的外女．
2:16 To deliver you from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flatters with her words;
2:17 他離棄幼年的配偶、忘了 神的盟約．
2:17 Which forsakes the guide of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God.
2:18 他的家陷入死地、他的路偏向陰間．
2:18 For her house inclines unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
2:19 凡到他那裡去的不得轉回、也得不著生命的路。
2:19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
2:20 智慧必使你行善人的道、守義人的路。
2:20 That you may walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
2:21 正直人必在世上居住．完全人必在地上存留。
2:21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
2:22 惟有惡人必然剪除．奸詐的、必然拔出。
2:22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
3:1 我兒、不要忘記我的法則．〔或作指教〕你心要謹守我的誡命．
3:1 My son, forget not my law; but let yours heart keep my commandments:
3:2 因為他必將長久的日子、生命的年數、與平安、加給你。
3:2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to you.
3:3 不可使慈愛誠實離開你．要繫在你頸項上、刻在你心版上．
3:3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them upon the table of yours heart:
3:4 這樣、你必在 神和世人眼前蒙恩寵、有聰明。
3:4 So shall you find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
3:5 你要專心仰賴耶和華、不可倚靠自己的聰明．
3:5 Trust in the LORD with all yours heart; and lean not unto yours own understanding.
3:6 在你一切所行的事上、都要認定他、他必指引你的路。
3:6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.
3:7 不要自以為有智慧．要敬畏耶和華、遠離惡事．
3:7 Be not wise in yours own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
3:8 這便醫治你的肚臍、滋潤你的百骨。
3:8 It shall be health to your navel, and marrow to your bones.
3:9 你要以財物和一切初熟的土產、尊榮耶和華．
3:9 Honour the LORD with your substance, and with the first-fruits of all yours increase:
3:10 這樣、你的倉房、必充滿有餘、你的酒醡、有新酒盈溢。
3:10 So shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst out with new wine.
3:11 我兒、你不可輕看耶和華的管教〔或作懲治〕、也不可厭煩他的責備．
3:11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
3:12 因為耶和華所愛的、他必責備．正如父親責備所喜愛的兒子。
3:12 For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights.
3:13 得智慧、得聰明的、這人便為有福。
3:13 Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.
3:14 因為得智慧勝過得銀子、其利益強如精金．
3:14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
3:15 比珍珠〔或作紅寶石〕寶貴．你一切所喜愛的、都不足與比較。
3:15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things you can desire are not to be compared unto her.
3:16 他右手有長壽．左手有富貴。
3:16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
3:17 他的道是安樂、他的路全是平安。
3:17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
3:18 他與持守他的作生命樹．持定他的俱各有福。
3:18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retains her.
3:19 耶和華以智慧立地．以聰明定天．
3:19 The LORD by wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding has he established the heavens.
3:20 以知識使深淵裂開、使天空滴下甘露。
3:20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
3:21 我兒、要謹守真智慧和謀略．不可使他離開你的眼目．
3:21 My son, let not them depart from yours eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
3:22 這樣、他必作你的生命、頸項的美飾。
3:22 So shall they be life unto your soul, and grace to your neck.
3:23 你就坦然行路、不至碰腳。
3:23 Then shall you walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble.
3:24 你躺下、必不懼怕．你躺臥、睡得香甜。
3:24 When you lie down, you shall not be afraid: yea, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.
3:25 忽然來的驚恐、不要害怕．惡人遭毀滅、也不要恐懼．
3:25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes.
3:26 因為耶和華是你所倚靠的．他必保守你的腳不陷入網羅。
3:26 For the LORD shall be your confidence, and shall keep your foot from being taken.
3:27 你手若有行善的力量、不可推辭、就當向那應得的人施行。
3:27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of yours hand to do it.
3:28 你那裡若有現成的、不可對鄰舍說、去罷、明天再來、我必給你。
3:28 Say not unto your neighbour, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when you have it by you.
3:29 你的鄰舍、既在你附近安居、你不可設計害他。
3:29 Devise not evil against your neighbour, seeing he dwells securely by you.
3:30 人未曾加害與你、不可無故與他相爭。
3:30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done you no harm.
3:31 不可嫉妒強暴的人、也不可選擇他所行的路。
3:31 Envy you not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
3:32 因為乖僻人為耶和華所憎惡．正直人為他所親密。
3:32 For the perverse is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
3:33 耶和華咒詛惡人的家庭、賜福與義人的居所。
3:33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesses the habitation of the just.
3:34 他譏誚那好譏誚的人、賜恩給謙卑的人。
3:34 Surely he scorns the scorners: but he gives grace unto the lowly.
3:35 智慧人必承受尊榮．愚昧人高陞也成為羞辱。
3:35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
4:1 眾子阿、要聽父親的教訓、留心得知聰明．
4:1 Hear, all of you children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
4:2 因我所給你們的、是好教訓．不可離棄我的法則〔或作指教〕。
4:2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake all of you not my law.
4:3 我在父親面前為孝子、在母親眼中為獨一的嬌兒。
4:3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4:4 父親教訓我說、你心要存記我的言語、遵守我的命令、便得存活。
4:4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let yours heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
4:5 要得智慧、要得聰明、不可忘記、也不可偏離我口中的言語．
4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
4:6 不可離棄智慧、智慧就護衛你．要愛他、他就保守你。
4:6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve you: love her, and she shall keep you.
4:7 智慧為首．所以要得智慧．在你一切所得之內、必得聰明。〔或作用你一切所得的去換聰明〕。
4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting get understanding.
4:8 高舉智慧、他就使你高陞．懷抱智慧、他就使你尊榮。
4:8 Exalt her, and she shall promote you: she shall bring you to honour, when you do embrace her.
4:9 他必將華冠加在你頭上、把榮冕交給你。
4:9 She shall give to yours head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to you.
4:10 我兒、你要聽受我的言語、就必延年益壽。
4:10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of your life shall be many.
4:11 我已指教你走智慧的道、引導你行正直的路。
4:11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths.
4:12 你行走、腳步必不致狹窄．你奔跑、也不致跌倒。
4:12 When you go, your steps shall not be straitened; and when you run, you shall not stumble.
4:13 要持定訓誨、不可放鬆．必當謹守、因為他是你的生命。
4:13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is your life.
4:14 不可行惡人的路．不要走壞人的道。
4:14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
4:15 要躲避、不可經過．要轉身而去。
4:15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
4:16 這等人若不行惡、不得睡覺．不使人跌倒、睡臥不安。
4:16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
4:17 因為他們以奸惡喫餅、以強暴喝酒。
4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
4:18 但義人的路、好像黎明的光、越照越明、直到日午。
4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more unto the perfect day.
4:19 惡人的道、好像幽暗．自己不知因甚麼跌倒。
4:19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
4:20 我兒、要留心聽我的言詞、側耳聽我的話語．
4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline yours ear unto my sayings.
4:21 都不可離你的眼目．要存記在你心中。
4:21 Let them not depart from yours eyes; keep them in the midst of yours heart.
4:22 因為得著他的、就得了生命、又得了醫全體的良藥。
4:22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
4:23 你要保守你心、勝過保守一切〔或作你要切切保守你心〕因為一生的果效、是由心發出。
4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
4:24 你要除掉邪僻的口、棄絕乖謬的嘴。
4:24 Put away from you a perverse mouth, and perverse lips put far from you.
4:25 你的眼目、要向前正看你的眼睛〔原文作皮〕當向前直觀。
4:25 Let yours eyes look right on, and let yours eyelids look straight before you.
4:26 要修平你腳下的路、堅定你一切的道。
4:26 Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established.
4:27 不可偏向左右．要使你的腳離開邪惡。
4:27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove your foot from evil.
5:1 我兒、要留心我智慧的話語、側耳聽我聰明的言詞．
5:1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow yours ear to my understanding:
5:2 為要使你謹守謀略、嘴唇保存知識。
5:2 That you may regard discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge.
5:3 因為淫婦的嘴滴下蜂蜜、他的口比油更滑．
5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
5:4 至終卻苦似茵蔯、快如兩刃的刀。
5:4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5:5 他的腳、下入死地．他腳步、踏住陰間．
5:5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
5:6 以致他找不著生命平坦的道．他的路變遷不定、自己還不知道。
5:6 Lest you should ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that you can not know them.
5:7 眾子阿、現在要聽從我、不可離棄我口中的話。
5:7 Hear me now therefore, O all of you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
5:8 你所行的道要離他遠、不可就近他的房門．
5:8 Remove your way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
5:9 恐怕將你的尊榮給別人、將你的歲月給殘忍的人．
5:9 Lest you give yours honour unto others, and your years unto the cruel:
5:10 恐怕外人滿得你的力量、你勞碌得來的、歸入外人的家．
5:10 Lest strangers be filled with your wealth; and your labours be in the house of a stranger;
5:11 終久你皮肉和身體消毀、你就悲歎、
5:11 And you mourn at the last, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
5:12 說、我怎麼恨惡訓誨、心中藐視責備、
5:12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
5:13 也不聽從我師傅的話、又不側耳聽那教訓我的人。
5:13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
5:14 我在聖會裡、幾乎落在諸般惡中。
5:14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
5:15 你要喝自己池中的水、飲自己井裡的活水。
5:15 Drink waters out of yours own cistern, and running waters out of yours own well.
5:16 你的泉源豈可漲溢在外．你的河水豈可流在街上．
5:16 Let your fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
5:17 惟獨歸你一人、不可與外人同用。
5:17 Let them be only yours own, and not strangers' with you.
5:18 要使你的泉源蒙福．要喜悅你幼年所娶的妻。
5:18 Let your fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of your youth.
5:19 他如可愛的麀鹿、可喜的母鹿．願他的胸懷、使你時時知足．他的愛情、使你常常戀慕。
5:19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and be you ravished always with her love.
5:20 我兒、你為何戀慕淫婦、為何抱外女的胸懷．
5:20 And why will you, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
5:21 因為人所行的道、都在耶和華眼前．他也修平人一切的路。
5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he ponders all his activities.
5:22 惡人必被自己的罪孽捉住．他必被自己的罪惡如繩索纏繞。
5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sins.
5:23 他因不受訓誨、就必死亡．又因愚昧過甚、必走差了路。
5:23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
6:1 我兒、你若為朋友作保、替外人擊掌、
6:1 My son, if you be guarantor for your friend, if you have stricken your hand with a stranger,
6:2 你就被口中的話語纏住、被嘴裡的言語捉住。
6:2 You are snared with the words of your mouth, you are taken with the words of your mouth.
6:3 我兒、你既落在朋友手中、就當這樣行、纔可救自己．你要自卑、去懇求你的朋友．
6:3 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, when you are come into the hand of your friend; go, humble yourself, and make sure your friend.
6:4 不要容你的眼睛睡覺、不要容你的眼皮打盹．
6:4 Give not sleep to yours eyes, nor slumber to yours eyelids.
6:5 要救自己、如鹿脫離獵戶的手、如鳥脫離捕鳥人的手。
6:5 Deliver yourself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6:6 懶惰人哪、你去察看螞蟻的動作、就可得智慧．
6:6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
6:7 螞蟻沒有元帥、沒有官長、沒有君王、
6:7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
6:8 尚且在夏天預備食物、在收割時聚斂糧食。
6:8 Provides her food in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
6:9 懶惰人哪、你要睡到幾時呢．你何時睡醒呢。
6:9 How long will you sleep, O sluggard? when will you arise out of your sleep?
6:10 再睡片時、打盹片時、抱著手躺臥片時、
6:10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
6:11 你的貧窮就必如強盜速來、你的缺乏彷彿拿兵器的人來到。
6:11 So shall your poverty come as one that travels, and your lack as an armed man.
6:12 無賴的惡徒、行動就用乖僻的口．
6:12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth.
6:13 用眼傳神、用腳示意、用指點劃．
6:13 He winks with his eyes, he speaks with his feet, he teaches with his fingers;
6:14 心中乖僻、常設惡謀、布散分爭。
6:14 Perverseness is in his heart, he devises mischief continually; he sows discord.
6:15 所以災難必忽然臨到他身．他必頃刻敗壞無法可治。
6:15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
6:16 耶和華所恨惡的有六樣、連他心所憎惡的共有七樣．
6:16 These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
6:17 就是高傲的眼、撒謊的舌、流無辜人血的手、
6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
6:18 圖謀惡計的心、飛跑行惡的腳、
6:18 An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
6:19 吐謊言的假見證、並弟兄中布散分爭的人。
6:19 A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren.
6:20 我兒、要謹守你父親的誡命、不可離棄你母親的法則．〔或作指教〕
6:20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:
6:21 要常繫在你心上、挂在你項上。
6:21 Bind them continually upon yours heart, and tie them about your neck.
6:22 你行走、他必引導你．你躺臥、他必保守你．你睡醒、他必與你談論。
6:22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you awake, it shall talk with you.
6:23 因為誡命是燈．法則〔或作指教〕是光、訓誨的責備是生命的道．
6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
6:24 能保你遠離惡婦、遠離外女諂媚的舌頭。
6:24 To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
6:25 你心中不要戀慕他的美色、也不要被他眼皮勾引。
6:25 Lust not after her beauty in yours heart; neither let her take you with her eyelids.
6:26 因為妓女能使人只剩一塊餅、淫婦獵取人寶貴的生命。
6:26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.
6:27 人若懷裡搋火、衣服豈能不燒呢。
6:27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
6:28 人若在火炭上走、腳豈能不燙呢。
6:28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
6:29 親近鄰舍之妻的、也是如此．凡挨近他的、不免受罰。
6:29 So he that goes in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever touches her shall not be innocent.
6:30 賊因飢餓偷竊充飢、人不藐視他．
6:30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
6:31 若被找著、他必賠還七倍．必將家中所有的、盡都償還。
6:31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
6:32 與婦人行淫的、便是無知、行這事的、必喪掉生命。
6:32 But whoso commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding: he that does it destroys his own soul.
6:33 他必受傷損、必被凌辱．他的羞恥不得塗抹。
6:33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
6:34 因為人的嫉恨、成了烈怒．報仇的時候、決不留情。
6:34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
6:35 甚麼贖價、他都不顧．你雖送許多禮物、他也不肯干休。
6:35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.
7:1 我兒、你要遵守我的言語、將我的命令存記在心．
7:1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you.
7:2 遵守我的命令、就得存活．保守我的法則〔或作指教〕好像保守眼中的瞳人．
7:2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of yours eye.
7:3 繫在你指頭上、刻在你心版上。
7:3 Bind them upon your fingers, write them upon the table of yours heart.
7:4 對智慧說、你是我的姊妹．稱呼聰明為你的親人．
7:4 Say unto wisdom, You are my sister; and call understanding your kinswoman:
7:5 他就保你遠離淫婦、遠離說諂媚話的外女。
7:5 That they may keep you from the strange woman, from the stranger which flatters with her words.
7:6 我曾在我房屋的窗戶內、從我窗櫺之間、往外觀看．
7:6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
7:7 見愚蒙人內、少年人中、分明有一個無知的少年人、
7:7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
7:8 從街上經過、走近淫婦的巷口、直往通他家的路去、
7:8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
7:9 在黃昏、或晚上、或半夜、或黑暗之中、
7:9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
7:10 看哪、有一個婦人來迎接他、是妓女的打扮、有詭詐的心思。
7:10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtle of heart.
7:11 這婦人喧嚷不守約束、在家裡停不住腳．
7:11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
7:12 有時在街市上、有時在寬闊處、或在各巷口蹲伏．
7:12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lies in wait at every corner.)
7:13 拉住那少年人、與他親嘴、臉無羞恥對他說、
7:13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an shameless face said unto him,
7:14 平安祭在我這裡．今日纔還了我所許的願。
7:14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows.
7:15 因此、我出來迎接你、懇切求見你的面、恰巧遇見了你。
7:15 Therefore came I forth to meet you, diligently to seek your face, and I have found you.
7:16 我已經用繡花毯子、和埃及線織的花紋布、鋪了我的床。
7:16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
7:17 我又用沒藥、沉香、桂皮薰了我的榻。
7:17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
7:18 你來、我們可以飽享愛情、直到早晨．我們可以彼此親愛歡樂。
7:18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
7:19 因為我丈夫不在家、出門行遠路．
7:19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
7:20 他手拿銀囊．必到月望纔回家。
7:20 He has taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
7:21 淫婦用許多巧言誘他隨從、用諂媚的嘴逼他同行。
7:21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
7:22 少年人立刻跟隨他、好像牛往宰殺之地、又像愚昧人帶鎖鍊、去受刑罰．
7:22 He goes after her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
7:23 直等箭穿他的肝、如同雀鳥急入網羅、卻不知是自喪己命。
7:23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hastes to the snare, and knows not that it is for his life.
7:24 眾子阿、現在要聽從我、留心聽我口中的話。
7:24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O all of you children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
7:25 你的心、不可偏向淫婦的道．不要入他的迷途。
7:25 Let not yours heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
7:26 因為被他傷害仆倒的不少．被他殺戮的而且甚多。
7:26 For she has cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
7:27 他的家是在陰間之路、下到死亡之宮。
7:27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
8:1 智慧豈不呼叫、聰明豈不發聲。
8:1 Does not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
8:2 他在道旁高處的頂上、在十字路口站立．
8:2 She stands in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
8:3 在城門旁、在城門口、在城門洞、大聲說、
8:3 She cries at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
8:4 眾人哪、我呼叫你們．我向世人發聲。
8:4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
8:5 說、愚蒙人哪、你們要會悟靈明．愚昧人哪、你們當心裡明白。
8:5 O all of you simple, understand wisdom: and, all of you fools, be all of you of an understanding heart.
8:6 你們當聽、因我要說極美的話．我張嘴要論正直的事。
8:6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
8:7 我的口要發出真理．我的嘴憎惡邪惡。
8:7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8:8 我口中的言語、都是公義、並無彎曲乖僻。
8:8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing perverse or perverse in them.
8:9 有聰明的以為明顯、得知識的以為正直．
8:9 They are all plain to him that understands, and right to them that find knowledge.
8:10 你們當受我的教訓、不受白銀．寧得知識、勝過黃金。
8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
8:11 因為智慧比珍珠〔或作紅寶石〕更美．一切可喜愛的、都不足與比較。
8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
8:12 我智慧以靈明為居所、又尋得知識和謀略。
8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
8:13 敬畏耶和華、在乎恨惡邪惡．那驕傲、狂妄、並惡道、以及乖謬的口、都為我所恨惡。
8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the perverse mouth, do I hate.
8:14 我有謀略、和真知識．我乃聰明．我有能力。
8:14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
8:15 帝王藉我坐國位．君王藉我定公平。
8:15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
8:16 王子和首領、世上一切的審判官、都是藉我掌權。
8:16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
8:17 愛我的、我也愛他．懇切尋求我的、必尋得見。
8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
8:18 豐富尊榮在我．恆久的財並公義也在我。
8:18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
8:19 我的果實勝過黃金．強如精金．我的出產超乎高銀。
8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
8:20 我在公義的道上走、在公平的路中行．
8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
8:21 使愛我的承受貨財、並充滿他們的府庫。
8:21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
8:22 在耶和華造化的起頭、在太初創造萬物之先、就有了我。
8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
8:23 從亙古、從太初、未有世界以前、我已被立。
8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before even the earth was.
8:24 沒有深淵、沒有大水的泉源、我已生出。
8:24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
8:25 大山未曾奠定、小山未有之先、我已生出。
8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
8:26 耶和華還沒有創造大地、和田野、並世上的土質、我已生出。
8:26 While yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
8:27 他立高天、我在那裡．他在淵面的周圍、劃出圓圈、
8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
8:28 上使穹蒼堅硬、下使淵源穩固、
8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
8:29 為滄海定出界限、使水不越過他的命令、立定大地的根基．
8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
8:30 那時、我在他那裡為工師、日日為他所喜愛、常常在他面前踴躍、
8:30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
8:31 踴躍在他為人預備可住之地、也喜悅住在世人之間。
8:31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
8:32 眾子阿、現在要聽從我．因為謹守我道的、便為有福。
8:32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O all of you children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
8:33 要聽教訓、就得智慧、不可棄絕。
8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
8:34 聽從我、日日在我門口仰望、在我門框旁邊等候的、那人便為有福。
8:34 Blessed is the man that hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
8:35 因為尋得我的、就尋得生命、也必蒙耶和華的恩惠。
8:35 For whoso finds me finds life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
8:36 得罪我的、卻害了自己的性命．恨惡我的、都喜愛死亡。
8:36 But he that sins against me wrongs his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
9:1 智慧建造房屋、鑿成七根柱子、
9:1 Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars:
9:2 宰殺牲畜、調和旨酒、設擺筵席．
9:2 She has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine; she has also furnished her table.
9:3 打發使女出去、自己在城中至高處呼叫、
9:3 She has sent forth her maidens: she cries upon the highest places of the city,
9:4 說、誰是愚蒙人、可以轉到這裡來．又對那無知的人說、
9:4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in here: as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
9:5 你們來、喫我的餅、喝我調和的酒。
9:5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
9:6 你們愚蒙人、要捨棄愚蒙、就得存活．並要走光明的道。
9:6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
9:7 指斥褻慢人的、必受辱罵．責備惡人的、必被玷污。
9:7 He that reproves a scorner gets to himself shame: and he that rebukes a wicked man gets himself a blot.
9:8 不要責備褻慢人、恐怕他恨你．要責備智慧人、他必愛你。
9:8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you: rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9:9 教導智慧人、他就越發有智慧．指示義人、他就增長學問。
9:9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
9:10 敬畏耶和華、是智慧的開端．認識至聖者、便是聰明。
9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
9:11 你藉著我、日子必增多、年歲也必加添。
9:11 For by me your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased.
9:12 你若有智慧、是與自己有益．你若褻慢、就必獨自擔當。
9:12 If you be wise, you shall be wise for yourself: but if you scorn, you alone shall bear it.
9:13 愚昧的婦人喧嚷．他是愚蒙、一無所知。
9:13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knows nothing.
9:14 他坐在自己的家門口、坐在城中高處的座位上、
9:14 For she sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
9:15 呼叫過路的、就是直行其道的人、
9:15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
9:16 說、誰是愚蒙人、可以轉到這裡來．又對那無知的人說、
9:16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in here: and as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
9:17 偷來的水是甜的、暗喫的餅是好的。
9:17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
9:18 人卻不知有陰魂在他那裡．他的客在陰間的深處。
9:18 But he knows not that the dead are there; and that her guest are in the depths of hell.
10:1 所羅門的箴言。智慧之子、使父親歡樂．愚昧之子、叫母親擔憂。

10:11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
10:12 恨、能挑啟爭端．愛、能遮掩一切過錯。
10:12 Hatred stirs up strifes: but love covers all sins.
10:13 明哲人嘴裡有智慧．無知人背上受刑杖。
10:13 In the lips of him that has understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

10:14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
10:15 富戶的財物、是他的堅城．窮人的貧乏、是他的敗壞。
10:15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
10:16 義人的勤勞致生．惡人的進項致死。〔死原文作罪〕
10:16 The labour of the righteous tends to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

10:17 He is in the way of life that keeps instruction: but he that refuses reproof errs.
10:18 隱藏怨恨的、有說謊的嘴．口出讒謗的、是愚妄的人。
10:18 He that hides hatred with lying lips, and he that utters a slander, is a fool.
10:19 多言多語難免有過．禁止嘴唇是有智慧。
10:19 In the multitude of words there wants not sin: but he that refrains his lips is wise.
10:20 義人的舌、乃似高銀．惡人的心所值無幾。
10:20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
10:21 義人的口教養多人．愚昧人因無知而死亡。
10:21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for lack of wisdom.
10:22 耶和華所賜的福、使人富足、並不加上憂慮。
10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.

10:24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
10:25 暴風一過、惡人歸於無有．義人的根基卻是永久。
10:25 As the whirlwind passes, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
10:26 懶惰人叫差他的人、如醋倒牙、如煙薰目。
10:26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
10:27 敬畏耶和華、使人日子加多．但惡人的年歲必被減少。
10:27 The fear of the LORD prolongs days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
10:28 義人的盼望、必得喜樂．惡人的指望、必至滅沒。
10:28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
10:29 耶和華的道、是正直人的保障．卻成了作孽人的敗壞。

10:32 義人的嘴、能令人喜悅．惡人的口、說乖謬的話。
10:32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaks perverseness.
11:1 詭詐的天平、為耶和華所憎惡．公平的法碼、為他所喜悅。
11:1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
11:2 驕傲來、羞恥也來．謙遜人卻有智慧。

11:10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11:11 城因正直人祝福便高舉．卻因邪惡人的口就傾覆。
11:11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
11:12 藐視鄰舍的、毫無智慧．明哲人卻靜默不言。
11:12 He that is void of wisdom despises his neighbour: but a man of understanding holds his peace.
11:13 往來傳舌的、洩漏密事．心中誠實的、遮隱事情。
11:13 A talebearer reveals secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit conceals the matter.

11:21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
11:22 婦女美貌而無見識、如同金環帶在豬鼻上。
11:22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
11:23 義人的心願、盡得好處．惡人的指望、致干忿怒。
11:23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
11:24 有施散的、卻更增添．有吝惜過度的、反致窮乏。
11:24 There is that scatters, and yet increases; and there is that withholds more than is meet, but it tends to poverty.
11:25 好施捨的、必得豐裕．滋潤人的、必得滋潤。
11:25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that waters shall be watered also himself.
11:26 屯糧不賣的、民必咒詛他．情願出賣的、人必為他祝福。
11:26 He that withholds corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that sells it.

11:28 倚仗自己財物的、必跌倒．義人必發旺如青葉。
11:28 He that trusts in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
11:29 擾害己家的、必承受清風．愚昧人必作慧心人的僕人。
