| 1君王的心在上主的手裏，有如水流，可隨意轉移。 | 1As the divisions of waters, so the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord: whithersoever he will he shall turn it. |
| 2人對自己的行為，都自覺正直；但審察人心的，卻是上主。 | 2Every way of a man seemeth right to himself: but the Lord weigheth the hearts. |
| 3秉公行義，比獻祭獻更悅上主。 | 3To do mercy and judgment, pleaseth the Lord more than victims. |
| 4傲慢的眼睛，驕矜的心靈，惡人的炫耀，無非是罪惡。 | 4Haughtiness of the eyes is the enlarging of the heart: the lamp of the wicked is sin. |
| 5熟思的人，必足以致富；草率的人，必貧困纏身。 | 5The thoughts of the industrious always bring forth abundance: but every sluggard is always in want. |
| 6以謊言偽語騙得的財寶，是浮雲輕煙，死亡的羅網。 | 6He that gathereth treasures by a lying tongue, is vain and foolish, and shall stumble upon the snares of death. |
| 7惡人的暴戾，必殃及自身，因他們不肯去覆行正義。 | 7The robberies of the wicked shall be their downfall, because they would not do judgment. |
| 8惡人的道路，歪曲邪僻；正人的行為，正直適中。 | 8The perverse way of a man is strange: but as for him that is pure, his work is right. |
| 9寧願住在屋頂的一角，不願與吵婦同居一室。 | 9It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling women, and in a common house. |
| 10惡人的心靈，只求邪惡；對自己友伴，毫不關懷。 | 10The soul of the wicked desireth evil, he will not have pity on his neighbour. |
| 11輕狂人遭受處罰，幼稚者將得明智；智慧人接受教訓，更增加自己知識。 | 11When a pestilent man is punished, the little one will be wiser: and if he follow the wise, he will receive knowledge. |
| 12正義的上主監視惡人的家，且使惡人們都陷於災禍中。 | 12The just considereth seriously the house of the wicked, that he may withdraw the wicked from evil. |
| 13誰對窮人的哀求，充耳不聞，他呼求時，也不會得到應允。 | 13He that stoppeth his ear against the cry of the poor, shall also cry himself and shall not be heard. |
| 14暗中相送的饋贈，可平息忿怒；投入懷中的禮物，可平息狂怒。 | 14A secret present quencheth anger: and a gift in the bosom the greatest wrath. |
| 15秉公行義，能叫義人喜樂；但為作惡的人，卻是恐懼。 | 15It is joy to the just to do judgment: and dread to them that work iniquity. |
| 16凡遠離明智道路的人，必居於幽靈的集會中。 | 16A man that shall wander out of the way of doctrine, shall abide in the company of the giants. |
| 17貪愛享樂的人，必遭受窮困；喜愛酒油的人，必不會致富。 | 17He that loveth good cheer, shall be in want: he that loveth wine, and fat things, shall not be rich. |
| 18惡人必將為義人作贖金，敗類也將替君子作代價。 | 18The wicked is delivered up for the just: and the unjust for the righteous. |
| 19與好爭易怒的女人同居，倒不如獨自住在曠野裏。 | 19It is better to dwell in a wilderness, than with a quarrelsome and passionate woman. |
| 20珍貴的寶藏和油，積藏在智者家裏；但糊塗愚昧的人，卻將之消耗淨盡。 | 20There is a treasure to be desired, and oil in the dwelling of the just: and the foolish man shall spend it. |
| 21追求正義和仁慈的人，必將獲得生命與尊榮。 | 21He that followeth justice and mercy, shall find life, justice, and glory. |
| 22智者必登上勇士的城邑，攻破城邑所憑倚的堡壘。 | 22The wise man hath scaled the city of the strong, and hath cast down the strength of the confidence thereof. |
| 23誰謹守自己的口舌，心靈必能免受煩惱。 | 23He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from distress. |
| 24高傲的人名叫「狂人」，他行事必極端蠻橫。 | 24The proud and the arrogant is called ignorant, who in anger worketh pride. |
| 25怠惰人的手不肯操作，必為他的願望所扼殺。 | 25Desires kill the slothful: for his hands have refused to work at all. |
| 26貪婪的人，終日貪婪；正義的人，廣施不吝。 | 26He longeth and desireth all the day: but he that is just, will give, and will not cease. |
| 27惡人的祭獻，已是可憎；若懷惡而獻，更將如何？ | 27The sacrifices of the wicked are abominable, because they are offered of wickedness. |
| 28作假見證的人，必要滅亡；但善於聽的人，纔可常言。 | 28A lying witness shall perish: an obedient man shall speak of victory. |
| 29邪惡的人，常裝腔作勢；正直的人，卻舉止檢點。 | 29The wicked man impudently hardeneth his face: but he that is righteous, correcteth his way. |
| 30任何智慧、才略或計謀，都不能與上主相對抗。 | 30There is no wisdom, there is no prudence, there is no counsel against the Lord. |
| 31招兵買馬，是為作戰之日；但是勝利，卻由上主指使。 | 31The horse is prepared for the day of battle: but the Lord giveth safety. |
