| 1內心策劃在於人，應允卻在於上主。 | 1Man's heart makes plans but it is Yahweh who answers. |
| 2對自己的行為，人都自覺無瑕；但審察心靈的，卻是上主。 | 2Although people are satisfied with all of their deeds Yahweh considers the motives. |
| 3將你的作為委託於上主，這樣你的計劃必會成功。 | 3Entrust all you do to Yahweh and your plans will be realized. |
| 4上主所造的各有其用意，連惡人也有不幸的一日。 | 4Yahweh made everything for a purpose, even the evildoer for the day of punishment. |
| 5居心傲慢的，上主必厭惡；這一類的人，逃不掉懲罰。 | 5Yahweh hates the arrogant heart; you can be sure it will not go unpunished. |
| 6藉慈善忠誠，可補贖罪過；藉敬畏上主，可避免罪惡。 | 6With goodness and faithfulness you atone for your sin; with fear of Yahweh you may turn away from evil. |
| 7世人的行徑，若中悅上主，他必使仇敵，再與他和好。 | 7When Yahweh is pleased with a man's conduct, he reconciles even his enemies with him. |
| 8收入少而守正義，勝於進款多而行不義。 | 8Better to have little but be just than to have a great income without honesty. |
| 9人心裏都策劃自己的行徑；但他的步伐卻由上主支配。 | 9Man's heart seeks the right way but it is Yahweh who makes his footsteps sure. |
| 10神明的斷語，出自君王口；他口下判斷，必不致差錯。 | 10The lips of the king utter oracles; he will not be mistaken when he judges. |
| 11天秤和稱盤，屬上主所有；囊中的法碼，全由他制定。 | 11Yahweh demands a just balance and scales; the weights are the work of his hands. |
| 12君王最厭惡的是作惡，因為王位賴正義而立。 | 12Kings who do evil are an abomination; it is justice that supports the kingship. |
| 13正義的唇舌，為君王所喜悅；說話正直者，為君王所愛戴。 | 13He who judges according to justice wins the king's favor, honest men are pleasing to him. |
| 14君王的震怒，是死訊的使者；但是智慧人，能平息王怒。 | 14The king's anger is a messenger of death but the wise man knows how to appease him. |
| 15君王容光煥發，人即可活命；君王的恩澤，有如春雲時雨。 | 15The king's serene countenance means life, his favor is like the spring rain. |
| 16獲得智慧，勝於獲得黃金；獲得智識，勝於獲得白銀。 | 16Better to have acquired wisdom rather than gold, discernment rather than silver. |
| 17正直人的行徑遠離邪惡，謹守行為的人必確保生命。 | 17The way of the honest man is to turn away from evil; he who watches his steps keeps his life safe. |
| 18驕橫是滅亡的先聲，傲慢是隕落的前導。 | 18Pride goes before destruction, an arrogant spirit before a fall. |
| 19謙下與貧民共處，勝於與驕傲人分贓。 | 19Better be humble among the lowly than share loot with the proud. |
| 20細聽勸言的，必將受益；信賴上主的，真是有福。 | 20He who listens to the word will find happiness; blessed is he who trusts in Yahweh. |
| 21有慧心的人，被稱為哲人；溫和的口吻，更具說服力。 | 21He whose heart is wise will be proclaimed discerning; moderate speech brings knowledge. |
| 22為有智識的人，智識是生命的泉源；然而糊塗愚昧，卻是愚昧人的懲罰。 | 22Good sense is a life-giving fountain to those who possess it, foolishness is the punishment of fools. |
| 23智慧人的心，使自己的嘴靈巧，使自己的唇舌，更具說服力。 | 23The wise man's heart keeps guard over his mouth, making his words more effective. |
| 24親切的言語，有如蜂蜜，使心靈愉快，使筋骨舒暢。 | 24Kind words are like a honeycomb: sweet to the spirit and healthy to the body. |
| 25有些道路，看來正直；走到盡頭，卻是死路。 | 25To one, his way seems honest, but ultimately it leads to death. |
| 26工人的胃口，催他勞作；一人的口腹，迫他工作。 | 26The worker's appetite works to his benefit; the need to eat spurs him on. |
| 27無賴之徒，圖謀邪惡；他的嘴上，似有火燒。 | 27The troublemaker prepares disgrace, a scorching fire is on his lips. |
| 28乖戾的人，撒播爭端；告密的人，離間友情。 | 28The scoundrel stirs up trouble; his critical comments split up friends. |
| 29強橫的人，誘惑朋友；引他走入不正之途。 | 29A violent man deceives his neighbor and leads him along a path that is not good. |
| 30誰緊閉眼睛，是在策劃陰謀；誰緊咬口唇，邪惡業已完成。 | 30He who closes his eyes and purses his lips to plot deceit already commits evil. |
| 31皓首白髮，是尊榮的冠冕；只在正義的道上，方可獲得。 | 31White hairs are a magnificent crown for the one who has followed the path of virtue. |
| 32有涵養的人，勝於勇士；克服自己的人，勝於克城的人。 | 32The patient man is to be preferred to the hero; better the man who masters himself than the conqueror of cities. |
| 33人儘可在懷中抽籤，但決斷卻在乎上主。 | 33Fate is thrown in the bag but the decision depends on Yahweh. |
