|---|---|
| 1敬畏上主的；必如此而行；謹守法律的，必獲得智慧。 | 1Such is the one who fears the Lord; whoever embraces the Law will obtain wisdom. |
| 2智慧有如一位榮耀的母親去迎接他，又如一位童貞的新娘收留他， | 2She will come out to meet him like a mother and greet him like a virgin bride; |
| 3要用生命和明智的食物養育他，用有益的智慧之水，給他當飲料。他依靠智慧，便不致動搖； | 3she will feed him with the bread of understanding and give him the water of wisdom to drink. |
| 4他信賴智慧，就不致受辱。智慧要舉揚他，超越他的同伴； | 4He will rely on her and will not waver; he will lean on her and will not be let down. |
| 5在集會中，使他開口發言，使他充滿上智聰敏之神，叫他穿上光榮的長袍， | 5Wisdom will make him greater than his friends and he will be able to speak in the full assembly. |
| 6使他獲得喜樂和愉快的冠冕，叫他承受名垂千古的基業。 | 6He will be crowned with happiness and joy. He will inherit an everlasting name. |
| 7愚昧人不會接受智慧，明智人卻去迎接她，罪人決不會見到她，因為，智慧遠離驕傲和欺詐。 | 7The fool will never possess her, and sinners will never set eyes on her. |
| 8說謊的人不會思念她；但誠實的人必能尋見她，直到天主來視察時，他們必有所成就。 | 8She is far away from pride, and liars will know nothing of her. |
| 9讚頌在罪人口裡，是不適宜的，因為不是來自上主； | 9Praise is not fitting on the lips of sinners since it does not come from the Lord. |
| 10原來讚頌須本於智慧，具有智慧的人，纔能教給人智慧。因為智慧來自天主，天主的讚頌常伴隨智慧；忠信人的口，必洋溢著這樣的讚頌，主宰也必賜給他這樣的讚頌。 | 10Praise must come from the wise man; so the Lord himself inspires it. |
| 11你不要說：「是上主使我沒有智慧。」因為，上主不作自己憎惡的事。 | 11Do not say, "It was God who made me sin." God does not cause what he hates. |
| 12你也不要說：「他迷惑了我。」因為，他用不著罪人。 | 12Do not say, "He made me do wrong," for he has nothing to do with a sinner. |
| 13凡是可惡的事，上主都憎恨，也不許敬畏他的人遇著這些事。 | 13The Lord hates all evil and those who fear him hate it as well. |
| 14上主在起初就造了人，並賦給他自決的能力； | 14When he created man in the beginning, he left him free to make his own decisions. |
| 15又給他定了法律和誡命。 | 15If you wish, you can keep the commandments and it is in your power to remain faithful. |
| 16假使你願意，就能遵守他的誡命；成為一個忠信的人，完全在於你自願。 | 16He has set fire and water before you; you stretch out your hand to whichever you prefer. |
| 17他在你面前安放了火與水，你可任意伸手選取； | 17Life and death are set before man: whichever a man prefers will be given him. |
| 18生死善惡，都在人面前；人願意那樣，就賜給他那樣。 | 18How magnificent is the wisdom of the Lord! He is powerful and all-seeing. |
| 19因為，上主的智慧是廣大的，他強而有力，不斷在察看著萬物。 | 19His eyes are on those who fear him. He knows all the works of man. |
| 20他的眼睛注視敬畏他的人，他洞悉人的一切行為。 | 20He has commanded no one to be godless and has given no one permission to sin. |
| 21他從未吩咐人作惡，他從未准許人犯罪。 | 21 |
| 22不要渴望有許多不忠實而無用的子女，也不要因不虔敬的兒子而喜歡。 | 22 |
