| 1孩子們，要聽父親的教訓，專心學習明智， | 1Listen, my sons, to a father's instruction and pay attention so that you may gain insight. |
| 2因為我把好教訓授給你們，你們不要拋棄我的規勸。 | 2For I have given you good principles; do not discard my teaching! |
| 3我也曾在父親面前作過孝子，在我母親膝下是唯一的嬌兒。 | 3For when I, too, was a young boy, and my mother fondly looked on me as special, |
| 4我父曾訓誨我說：你應留心牢記我的話，遵守我的命令，好使你生存； | 4my father taught me and said to me: Treasure my words in your heart; listen to my directions and you will live. |
| 5你應緊握智慧，握住明智，不要忘記，也不要離棄我口中的教訓： | 5Acquire wisdom and insight and do not forget or reject the words of my mouth. |
| 6你若不捨棄她，她必護佑你；你若喜愛她，她必看顧你？ | 6Do not abandon wisdom for she will protect you. Love her and she will be your salvation. |
| 7首先應爭取的是智慧，因此你應尋求智慧，應犧牲一切去爭取明智。 | 7The beginning of wisdom is to work to acquire it. At the cost of all you possess, strive to gain insight. |
| 8你若顯揚智慧，智慧也必顯揚你；你若懷抱她，她也必光榮你： | 8Hold her close, for she will exalt you and bring you honor if you embrace her. |
| 9將華冠加在你的頭上，將榮冕賜給你。 | 9She will crown you with grace and put a diadem of splendor on your head. |
| 10我兒，你若聽取我的訓言，你必延年益壽。 | 10Listen, my son, and take my words to heart; then the years of your life will be multiplied. |
| 11我要教給你智慧的道路，引你走上正直的途徑： | 11Because I have taught you the way of wisdom and have guided you along honest ways, |
| 12這樣，你若行走，你的腳決不會受阻礙；即使你奔馳，也決不致顛仆。 | 12you will walk with ease and run without falling. |
| 13你要堅持教訓，切勿把她拋棄；你應保存她，因為她是你的生命。 | 13Hold firm to discipline; never let her go. Guard her well for she is your salvation. |
| 14惡人的道路，你不要進去；壞人的途徑，你不要踏入； | 14Do not follow the way of the wicked nor walk with evildoers. |
| 15反應躲避，不經其上；遠遠離去，繞道他往。 | 15Avoid them, turn your back on them and pass on. |
| 16因為他們不作惡，不能入睡；不使人跌倒，就要失眠。 | 16For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; they cannot rest unless they have caused someone's downfall. |
| 17他們吃的是邪惡的餅，飲的是暴虐的酒。 | 17Wickedness is their bread and violence their wine. |
| 18但是，義人的途徑，像黎明的曙光，越來越明亮，直至成日中； | 18The way of the upright is like the dawn that becomes brighter until the fullness of day. |
| 19惡人的道路，卻宛如幽暗，他們不知道，要跌在何處。 | 19The way of the wicked is total darkness and they do not notice that which will make them fall. |
| 20我兒，你要注意我的訓言，側耳傾聽我的教導； | 20My son, be attentive and listen carefully to my words. |
| 21不要讓她離開你的視線，卻要牢記在心中？ | 21Never let them out of your sight but guard them in the bottom of your heart. |
| 22因為，凡找着她的，必獲得生命；他整個身軀，必獲得健康。 | 22For they are life to those who cling to them and healing for the inner spirit. |
| 23在一切之上，你要謹守你的心，因為命是由此而生。 | 23Above all else, guard your heart, for therein is the source of life. |
| 24你應摒絕口舌的欺詐，遠避唇舌的乖謬。 | 24Keep your mouth from lies and let not deceit come from your lips. |
| 25你的眼睛應向前直視，你的視線應向前集中。 | 25Keep your sight on what is ahead and your eyes directed straight in front of you. |
| 26你要修平你腳下的行徑，要鞏固你一切的路途。 | 26Test the ground under your feet and all your ways will be secure. |
| 27你斷不可左傾右依，務使你的腳遠離邪惡。 | 27Turn neither to left nor to right and keep your path from evil. |
