| 1瑪薩的君王肋慕耳的格言，是他母親教給他的： | 1The words of king Lamuel. The vision wherewith his mother instructed him. |
| 2我兒！我的親生兒！我的長子肋慕耳！我許願所得的孩子！我可給你說些什麼？ | 2What, O my beloved, what, O the beloved of my womb, what, O the beloved of my vows? |
| 3你不要將你的精力，為女人而消耗；也不要為君王的宮女，白費你的血氣。 | 3Give not thy substance to women, and thy riches to destroy kings. |
| 4肋慕耳！清酒不宜於君王，醇酒不宜於公侯。 | 4Give not to kings, O Lamuel, give not wine to kings: because there is no secret where drunkenness reigneth: |
| 5免得在酒興之餘，輕易將法律忘掉，顛倒窮人的是非。 | 5And lest they drink and forget judgments, and pervert the cause of the children of the poor. |
| 6應將醇酒給與哀慟欲絕的人，應將清酒給與心靈痛楚的人， | 6Give strong drink to them that are sad: and wine to them that are grieved in mind: |
| 7好叫他們喝了，完全忘掉自己的貧乏，不再記憶自己的憂苦。 | 7Let them drink, and forget their want, and remember their sorrow no more. |
| 8你應為啞巴開口，為被棄的人辯護； | 8Open thy mouth for the dumb, and for the causes of all the children that pass. |
| 9你應開口秉公行審，應為貧苦弱小辯護。 | 9Open thy mouth, decree that which is just, and do justice to the needy and poor. |
| 10賢淑的婦女，有誰能找到？她本身價值，遠勝過珠寶。 | 10Who shall find a valiant woman? far and from the uttermost coasts is the price of her. |
| 11她的丈夫對她衷心信賴，一切所需要從來不會缺少。 | 11The heart of her husband trusteth in her, and he shall have no need of spoils. |
| 12她一生歲月，只叫他幸福，不給他煩惱。 | 12She will render him good, and not evil, all the days of her life. |
| 13她弄來羊毛細麻，愉快地親手勞作。 | 13She hath sought wool and flax, and hath wrought by the counsel of her hands. |
| 14她宛如一隻商船，由遠處運來食糧。 | 14She is like the merchant's ship, she bringeth her bread from afar. |
| 15天還未明，她已起身，為給家人分配食物，給婢女們分派家務。 | 15And she hath risen in the night, and given a prey to her household, and victuals to her maidens. |
| 16她看中一塊田地，就將它買了來，以雙手所得的收入，栽植了葡萄園。 | 16She hath considered a field, and bought it: with the fruit of her hands she hath planted a vineyard. |
| 17她以勇力束腰，增強自己臂力。 | 17She hath girded her loins with strength, and hath strengthened her arm. |
| 18她發覺自己經營生利，她的燈盞夜間仍不熄滅。 | 18She hath tasted and seen that her traffic is good: her lamp shall not be put out in the night. |
| 19她手執紡錘，手指旋轉紗錠。 | 19She hath put out her hand to strong things, and her fingers have taken hold of the spindle. |
| 20對貧苦的人，她隨手賙濟；對無靠的人，她伸手扶助。 | 20She hath opened her hand to the needy, and stretched out her hands to the poor. |
| 21為自己的家人，她不害怕風雪，因為全家上下，都穿雙料衣裳。 | 21She shall not fear for her house in the cold of snow: for all her domestics are clothed with double garments. |
| 22她為自己做了華麗的舖蓋，身穿的是細麻和紫錦的衣裳。 | 22She hath made for herself clothing of tapestry: fine linen, and purple is her covering. |
| 23她的丈夫與當地長老同席，在城門口深為眾人所認識。 | 23Her husband is honourable in the gates, when he sitteth among the senators of the land. |
| 24她紡織紗布予以出售，又製造腰帶賣與商賈。 | 24She made fine linen, and sold it, and delivered a girdle to the Chanaanite. |
| 25剛毅和尊嚴是她的服飾，一念及將來便笑容滿面。 | 25Strength and beauty are her clothing, and she shall laugh in the latter day. |
| 26她一開口即傾吐智慧，舌上常有仁慈的訓誨。 | 26She hath opened her mouth to wisdom, and the law of clemency is on her tongue. |
| 27她不斷督察家務，從不白吃閒飯。 | 27She hath looked well to the paths of her house, and hath not eaten her bread idle. |
| 28她的子女起來向她祝福，她的丈夫對她讚不絕口： | 28Her children rose up, and called her blessed: her husband, and he praised her. |
| 29「賢淑的女子很多，惟有你的超群出眾。」 | 29Many daughters have gathered together riches: thou hast surpassed them all. |
| 30姿色是虛幻，美麗是泡影；敬畏上主的女人，纔堪當受人讚美。 | 30Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: the woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. |
| 31願她享受她雙手操勞的成果！願她的事業在城門口使她受讚揚！ | 31Give her of the fruit of her hands: and let her works praise her in the gates. |
