| 智慧篇 | Wisdom |
|---|---|
| 1【智慧勝於體力，智者勝於勇士。】 | 1Listen, O kings, and understand; rulers of the most distant lands, take warning. |
| 2所以，列王！你們要聽，且要明白；世上的判官！你們應受教； | 2Pay attention, you who rule multitudes and boast of the numerous subjects in your pagan nations. |
| 3統治群眾多而自負者！你們應當傾聽： | 3For authority was given you by the Lord, your kingship is from the Most High who will examine your works and scrutinize your intentions. |
| 4你們的權威，是由上主賜予的，高位是來自至高者，他要檢查你們的作為，查究你們的心意。 | 4If, as officials of his kingdom, you have not judged justly or observed his law or walked the way God pointed out, |
| 5因為，你們是他王國的公僕，如果你們判案不公，不守法律，不按天主的旨意行事， | 5he will oppose you swiftly and terribly; his sentence strikes the mighty suddenly. |
| 6天主必要可怕而迅速地臨於你們，對身居高位的，執行嚴厲的審判。 | 6For the lowly there may be excuses and pardon, but the great will be severely punished. |
| 7因為，卑微的人，還堪憐可恕；有權勢的，必受嚴厲的拷問。 | 7For the Lord of all makes no distinction, nor does he take account of greatness. Both great and lowly are his work and he watches over all, |
| 8萬有的主宰決不顧情面，也不畏懼權勢，因為無論大小，都是他造的；他對一切，都一律加以照顧； | 8but the powerful are to be judged more strictly. |
| 9但對有權勢的人必嚴加審訊。 | 9It is to you then, sovereigns, that I speak, that you may learn Wisdom and not stumble. |
| 10所以，各位君侯！我的話是對你們說的，要你們學習智慧，不再失職。 | 10For those who keep the holy laws in a holy way will be acknowledged holy, and those who accept the teaching will find in it their defense. |
| 11誰聖善地持守聖善的法律，便是聖善的人；誰學習這些法律，必會尋得辯護。 | 11Welcome my words, desire them and they will instruct you. |
| 12所以你們應思慕我的話，珍愛我的話，如此，你們必將深受教益。 | 12Wisdom is luminous and never tarnished; she willingly lets herself be seen by those who love her, and known by those who look for her. |
| 13智慧是光明的，從不暗淡；愛慕她的，很容易看見她；尋覓她的，就可找到她； | 13She hastens to meet those who long for her. |
| 14一有追求她的志願，她必預先顯示給他們。 | 14Seek her in the morning and you will not be disappointed; you will find her sitting at your door. |
| 15早起尋求她的，不必費勞，因為必發現她坐在門前。 | 15To meditate on Wisdom is understanding fully grown; whoever is on the watch for her will be free of anxiety. |
| 16思念智慧，是齊全的明哲；為她守夜不寐的，很快就必無顧慮。 | 16She goes in search of those who are worthy of her, graciously meets them on the way and is present in their every thought. |
| 17因為，智慧到處尋找配得上自己的人，她在路上親切地把自己顯示出來，很關心地迎接他們。 | 17The beginning of Wisdom is a sincere desire for discipline; concern for discipline is love of her, |
| 18智慧的真起點，是切願受教； | 18and loving her means keeping her laws; |
| 19切願受教就是愛；愛即在於遵守法律；遵守法律，便是不朽的保證； | 19the observance of her laws assures one of immortality, and immortality brings us close to God. |
| 20不朽使人親近天主； | 20In this way the desire for Wisdom leads to kingship. |
| 21所以，慕求智慧引人高登王位。 | 21So then, sovereigns of nations, you who are fond of thrones and scepters, honor Wisdom if you wish to reign forever. |
| 22萬民的君侯！你們若喜愛王位與王權，就應尊重智慧，好能永居王位。 | 22What Wisdom is and how she came to be, I will tell you. I shall hide nothing from you, but trace her from the beginning and clearly make her known. |
| 23【萬民的統治者，你們應愛慕智慧的光明！】 | 23I will not mislead you and hide the truth, for I am free of gnawing envy which has nothing in common with Wisdom. |
| 24我要陳述，什麼是智慧，她是怎樣有的；我決不向你們隱瞞她的妙理，反而探源索本，將對她的認識公開陳述，決不歪曲真理。 | 24A great number of wise men could bring about the salvation of the world and a sensible king makes for the stability of his people; |
| 25我決不與使人消沉的嫉妒同行，因為，它與智慧絕無共同之處。 | 25so learn from what I say and profit from it. |
| 26智慧人眾多，世界纔有救；君王明達，民生纔安定。 | 26 |
| 27所以，你們應接受我的訓言；如此，你們必受教益。 | 27 |
