箴言 Proverbs
1智慧建造了房舍,雕琢了七根石柱, 1Wisdom has built her house, she has set up her seven columns;
2宰殺了牲畜,配製了美酒,舖設了飯桌, 2She has dressed her meat, mixed her wine, yes, she has spread her table.
3派出自己的使女,在城市高處吶喊: 3She has sent out her maidens; she calls from the heights out over the city:
4「誰是無知的,請轉身到這裏來!」她對愚鈍的人說: 4"Let whoever is simple turn in here; to him who lacks understanding," I say,
5「你們來,吃我的食糧,飲我配製的酒! 5Come, eat of my food, and drink of the wine I have mixed!
6你們應放棄無知,好使你們得以生存,並在明智的道路上邁進。」 6Forsake foolishness that you may live; advance in the way of understanding."
7誰矯正輕狂的人,只有自招羞辱;誰責斥邪惡的人,只有自找凌辱。 7He who corrects an arrogant man earns insult; and he who reproves a wicked man incurs opprobrium.
8你不要責斥輕狂的人,免得他恨你;卻要責斥明智的人,他必會愛你。 8Reprove not an arrogant man, lest he hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
9你若指教明智的人,他必更明智;你若教訓正義的人,他必更有見識。 9Instruct a wise man, and he becomes still wiser; teach a just man, and he advances in learning.
10敬畏上主是智慧的肇基;認識至聖者就是睿智。 10The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the LORD, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11藉着我,你的歲月纔可增多,你的壽命纔可延長。 11For by me your days will be multiplied and the years of your life increased.
12你若有智慧,你必蒙受其惠;你若是輕狂也只有自食其果。 12If you are wise, it is to your own advantage; and if you are arrogant, you alone shall bear it.
13愚昧太太,浮燥愚蠢,一無所知。 13The woman Folly is fickle, she is inane, and knows nothing.
14她坐在自家門前,坐在城內高處的座位上, 14She sits at the door of her house upon a seat on the city heights,
15向一往直前的路人喊說: 15Calling to passers-by as they go on their straight way:
16「誰是無知的,請轉身到這裏來!」向愚鈍的人說: 16"Let whoever is simple turn in here, or who lacks understanding; for to him I say,
17「偷來的水,更香甜;背地吃的餅,更有味。」 17Stolen water is sweet, and bread gotten secretly is pleasing!"
18他卻不知冥域正在那裏,她的客人都在陰府的深處。 18Little he knows that the shades are there, that in the depths of the nether world are her guests!
