| 1智慧不是在呼喚，明智不是在發出她的呼聲嗎？ | 1Who calls? Is it not Wisdom? Who lifts up her voice? |
| 2她站在高崗上，站在通衢大道上， | 2Is it not Knowledge? She shouts from the hilltops and waits by the crossroads; |
| 3她在城門口，在城入口處大聲喊說： | 3in the vicinity of the city gates she speaks, |
| 4人呀！我在向你們呼喚，我在對人子發出呼聲： | 4It is you, O men, I address for my message is directed to all mankind, |
| 5幼稚的人，你們應學習機智；愚昧的人，你們應學習聰明。 | 5so that the ignorant may learn and the thoughtless come to their senses. |
| 6你們且聽，因為我要講論卓絕的事，開口述說正直的事。 | 6Listen to me for I speak of vital things and everything I say is true. |
| 7的確，我的口只暢談真理，我厭惡虛詐的唇舌。 | 7Truthful words come from my mouth and my lips do not lend themselves to evil. |
| 8凡我口述的，無不正直，毫無歪曲或乖僻。 | 8All my words are right, none are twisted or deceitful. |
| 9我的話為明白的人是誠實的，為有智識的人是正確的。 | 9The intelligent will verify their truth, the wise perceive their sincerity. |
| 10你們應聽取我的教訓，而不要銀子；應汲取智識，而不取純金； | 10Prefer my teaching to silver and seek wisdom rather than gold, |
| 11因為智慧勝過任何珍珠，任何可貪戀的事都不能與她倫比。 | 11because wisdom has more value than any jewel and none of men's desires can equal it. |
| 12我─智慧─與機智同居，擁有知識和見識。 | 12I, Wisdom, dwell with discretion and count prudence among my friends. |
| 13敬畏上主，就是憎恨邪惡傲慢驕橫，邪惡的行徑和欺詐的口舌，我都憎惡。 | 13The fear of Yahweh is rejection of evil. I hate all pride, arrogance, wicked ways and lies, |
| 14機謀才智，屬我所有；聰明勇敢，亦屬於我。 | 14but I love counsel, discretion, prudence and strength. |
| 15藉着我，君王執政，元首秉公行義； | 15Kings reign by my power, their ministers issue just laws; |
| 16藉着我，統治者統治，王侯治理邦土。 | 16by me princes govern, and the great and noble of the earth as well. |
| 17我愛那愛我的人；凡尋求我的，必找着我。 | 17I love those who love me and go to meet those who seek me. |
| 18富貴榮譽，恒產正義，都屬我有。 | 18Riches and honor are with me, true well-being and upright living. |
| 19我的果實，勝過黃金純金；我的出產，比淨銀還要寶貴。 | 19More precious than silver and gold are my fruit and my yield. |
| 20我走在正義的路上，走在公平的路上， | 20I proceed on the path of righteousness and make use of the ways of justice, |
| 21使愛我者獲得產業，充滿他們的寶庫。 | 21giving riches to those who love me, and filling their cellars. |
| 22上主自始即拿我作他行動的起始，作他作為的開端： | 22Yahweh created me first, at the beginning of his works. |
| 23大地還沒有形成以前，遠自太古，從無始我已被立； | 23He formed me from of old, from eternity, even before the earth. |
| 24深淵還沒有存在，水泉還沒有湧出以前，我已受生； | 24The abyss did not exist when I was born, the springs of the sea had not gushed forth, |
| 25山嶽還沒有奠定，丘陵還沒有存在以前，我已受生。 | 25the mountains were still not set in their place nor the hills, when I was born |
| 26那時，上主還沒有創造大地、原野、和世上土壤的原質； | 26before he made the earth or countryside, or the first grains of the world's dust. |
| 27當他建立高天時，我已在場；當他在深淵之上劃出穹蒼時， | 27I was there when he made the skies and drew the earth's compass on the abyss, |
| 28當他上使穹蒼穩立，下使淵源固定時， | 28when he formed the clouds above and when the springs of the ocean emerged; |
| 29當他為滄海劃定界限，令水不要越境，給大地奠定基礎時， | 29when he made the sea with its limits, that it might not overflow. When he laid the foundations of the earth, |
| 30我已在他身旁，充作技師。那時，我天天是他的喜悅，不斷在他前歡躍， | 30I was close beside him, the designer of his works, and I was his daily delight, forever playing in his presence, |
| 31歡躍於塵寰之間，樂與世人共處。 | 31playing throughout the world and delighting to be with the sons of men. |
| 32那麼，我兒，你們且聽我：遵循我道路的人是有福的。 | 32Now then, my sons, listen to me: happy are those who follow my ways. |
| 33你們該聽從教訓，做一智慧人，不要把她拋棄。 | 33Listen to my teaching and gain wisdom; do not ignore it. |
| 34凡聽從我言，天天在我門前守候，在我門框旁侍立的人，是有福的。 | 34Happy are those who listen to me and wait at my gates every day, watching, close to my threshold. |
| 35因為誰找到我，便是找到生命，他必由上主獲得恩寵。 | 35Those who find me find life: theirs is Yahweh's blessing. |
| 36但是那得罪我的，等於傷害自己；凡憎恨我的，是自找死亡。 | 36Those who offend me will undergo affliction; they hate me for they love death. |
