|---|---|
| 1統治世界的人，你們應愛正義，對上主應有正確的觀念，應以誠樸的心尋求上主， | 1Love justice, you who rule over the world. Think rightly of God, seek him with simplicity of heart, |
| 2因為，凡不試探上主的，都可以尋到上主；對上主不失信的，上主必向他顯示。 | 2for he reveals himself to those who do not challenge him and is found by those who do not distrust him. |
| 3邪曲的思想，使人離開天主；愚人試探全能者，只有使自己蒙羞， | 3Crooked thinking distances you from God, and his Omnipotence, put to the test, confounds the foolish. |
| 4因為，智慧不進入存心不良的靈魂裏，也不住在一個屈服於罪惡的身體內。 | 4Wisdom does not enter the wicked nor remain in a body that is enslaved to sin. |
| 5實在，施訓的聖神，遠避欺詐，遠離無知的思念；不義一到，即刻退去。 | 5The Holy Spirit who instructs us shuns deceit; it keeps aloof from foolishness and is ill at ease when injustice is done. |
| 6智慧是愛人的神，口出咒語的人，她必懲罰；因為天主洞悉他的內心，確切監視他的心靈，聽聞他的言語； | 6Wisdom is a spirit, a friend to man, and will not leave the blasphemous unpunished, because God knows his innermost feelings, truly sees his thoughts and hears what he says. |
| 7實在，上主的神充滿了世界，包羅萬象，通曉一切語言。 | 7For God's spirit has filled the whole world and he who holds together all things, knows each word that is spoken. |
| 8為此，談論不義之事的，無不終被識破；執行報復的正義，也決不會將他放過。 | 8So whoever speaks unjustly will not escape; the irrefutable sentence will reach him. |
| 9因為惡人的思念，必將受審訊；上主聽到他的言語，必懲罰他的罪行。 | 9The intentions of the unholy will be examined; what he has said will reach the Lord and his wickedness will be confounded. |
| 10原來天主嫉惡的耳朵，能聽萬事；連低聲的怨言，也隱藏不住。 | 10Remember that a jealous ear hears everything; even whispers are recorded. |
| 11所以，你們要謹防無益的怨言，禁止口舌，別說毀謗的話；因為暗中的言語，決不會空空過去；說謊的口舌，必殺害靈魂。 | 11Beware then, of empty complaints and keep your tongue from faultfinding, since your most secret word will have consequences; a lying tongue brings death to the soul. |
| 12不要因生活墮落而自招喪亡，也不要因你們雙手的作為而自取滅亡， | 12Do not bring about your own death by your wrong way of living. And do not let the work of your hands destroy you. |
| 13因為天主並未造死亡，也不樂意生靈滅亡。 | 13God did not make death, nor does he rejoice in the destruction of the living. |
| 14他造了萬物，為叫它們生存；世上的生物都有生命力，本身都沒有致命的毒素，陰府在地上也沒有權勢； | 14Since he has created everything, all creatures of the universe are for our good; there is no deadly poison in them and the netherworld has no dominion over the earth, |
| 15因為正義是不死不滅的。 | 15because justice is not submitted to death. |
| 16但是，不義的人，因自己的言行自招死亡，與死亡相愛相戀，結立盟約，實堪作死亡的伴侶。 | 16It is the godless that consider death a friend and call for it in every way. They have made a pact with it and they shall justly belong to it. |
