| 1以色列王達味之子撒羅滿的箴言： | 1These are proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel: |
| 2是為教人學習智慧和規律，叫人明瞭哲言， | 2for you to obtain wisdom and instruction, to penetrate words of significance, |
| 3接受明智的教訓─仁義、公平和正直， | 3to acquire well-ordered knowledge, and become just with discernment and integrity. |
| 4使無知者獲得聰明，使年少者獲得知識和慎重， | 4Simple people will become clever and the young will acquire understanding and foresight. |
| 5使智慧者聽了，增加學識；使明達人聽了，汲取智謀， | 5Let the wise man listen: he will add to his learning, and the man of sound judgment will acquire skill, |
| 6好能明瞭箴言和譬喻，明瞭智者的言論和他們的隱語。 | 6to understand the proverbs and sayings, the words of the wise and their riddles. |
| 7敬畏上主是智慧的肇基；只有愚昧人蔑視智慧和規律。 | 7The beginning of knowledge is the fear of Yahweh, only fools have contempt for wisdom and discipline. |
| 8我兒，你應聽你父親的教訓，不要拒絕你母親的指教， | 8Listen, my son, to the teaching of your father, do not ignore your mother's instruction: |
| 9因為這就是你頭上的冠冕，你頸上的珠鏈。 | 9for they will be your graceful crown, a precious chain around your neck. |
| 10我兒，如果惡人勾引你，不要聽從； | 10My son, if sinners try to tempt you, do not give in. |
| 11如果他們說；「來跟我們去暗算某人，無故地陷害無辜。 | 11They will invite you, "Come with us, let us spill blood, let us ambush the innocent without a second thought. |
| 12我們要像陰府一樣活活地吞下他們，把他們整個吞下去，有如墮入深坑裏的人； | 12We will engulf them as does the netherworld and snatch them suddenly as does death. |
| 13這樣，我們必獲得各種珍寶，以贓物充滿我們的房屋。 | 13We will help ourselves to many riches and fill our houses with booty. |
| 14你將與我們平分秋色，我們將共有同一錢囊。」 | 14Join forces with us; one purse will be shared between us!" |
| 15我兒，你不要與他們同流合污，該使你的腳遠離他們的道路， | 15My son, do not go with them, do not set foot along their way. |
| 16因為他們雙腳趨向兇惡，急於傾流人血。 | 16See how they speed on to evil! How they hasten to spill blood! |
| 17在一切飛鳥眼前，張設羅網，盡屬徒勞。 | 17What bird would fall into a trap if you set it up in its sight? |
| 18其實，他們不外是自流己血，自害己命。 | 18But these men stalk themselves and set a trap for their own lives. |
| 19就是謀財害命者的末路︰他必要送掉自己的性命。 | 19Such is the lot of all who live by plunder: plunder will rob them of their own lives. |
| 20智慧在街上吶喊，在通衢發出呼聲； | 20Wisdom shouts aloud in the streets, she raises her voice in the marketplace; |
| 21在熱鬧的街頭呼喚，在城門和市區發表言論︰ | 21at street corners she cries; she delivers her speeches at the city gates: |
| 22「無知的人，你們喜愛無知；輕狂的人，你們樂意輕狂；愚昧的人，你們憎恨知識，要到何時呢﹖ | 22"You ignorant people, how long will you continue to cling to your foolishness? How long will mockers revel in their mockery, and fools have contempt for knowledge? |
| 23你們應回心聽我的勸告。看，我要向你們傾吐我的心意，使你們瞭解我的言詞。 | 23Listen to my warning. I will now pour my spirit upon you and make you know my words. |
| 24但是，我呼喚了，你們竟予以拒絕；我伸出了手，誰也沒有理會。 | 24Indeed if I cry out and you refuse to listen, if I offer my hand and no one cares, |
| 25你們既蔑視了我的勸告，沒有接受我的忠言； | 25if you ignore my advice and reject my warning, |
| 26因此，你們遭遇不幸時，我也付之一笑；災難臨到你們身上時，我也一笑置之。 | 26I, in turn, will laugh at your disaster, I will sneer when terror grips you; |
| 27當災難如暴風似的襲擊你們，禍害如旋風似的捲去你們，困苦憂患來侵襲你們時，我也置之不顧。 | 27when terror comes down on you like a hurricane, and distress and anxiety befall you. |
| 28那時，他們呼求我，我必不答應；他們尋找我，必尋不著我； | 28Then people will cry to me but I will not respond. They will seek me but will not find me, |
| 29因為他們憎恨知識，沒有揀選敬畏上主， | 29because they despised knowledge and did not choose the fear of Yahweh; |
| 30沒有接受我的勸告，且輕視了我的一切規諫。 | 30they would not listen to any advice and they rejected all my warnings. |
| 31所以他們必要自食其果，飽嘗獨斷獨行的滋味。 | 31They will harvest the fruit of their evil ways and have their fill of their own designs. |
| 32的確，無知者的執迷不悟殺害了自己；愚昧人的漠不關心斷送了自己。 | 32For the error of the ignorant leads to death, the idleness of fools brings about their ruin. |
| 33但是，那聽從我的，必得安居，不怕災禍，安享太平。」 | 33But whoever listens to me will feel secure and at ease, without fear of evil." |
