智慧篇:Chapter 4

智慧篇	Wisdom
¹纯洁的后代，是多么光辉，多么美丽！更好是无子而有道德，因为道德的记念，永存不朽，常为天主和世人所赏识。	¹Better to have no children and to be virtuous. People like this are highly considered by God and men. The memory of their life will never end.
²有道德在，人都效法；道德不在，人都期待；道德在永远加冕奏凯，因为她在为无玷的报酬奋斗，获得了胜利。	²When virtue is present we imitate it; when it is absent we long for it; it is crowned in eternity for having triumphed in the blameless struggle.
³不虔敬者的子孙，虽然众多，一无所用，杂种的苗裔，扎根不深，根底不稳；	³The numerous progeny of the wicked will be of no use. Offspring of doubtful plants, they will not have deep roots or lay solid foundations.
⁴即使一时枝叶繁茂，但因扎根不深，风一吹即摇动；暴风一发，即连根拔出；	⁴For a time they may produce, but their weak branches shaken by the wind will be uprooted by the storm.
⁵嫩枝尚未长成，即被打断；结的果实毫无益处，酸得不能吃，毫无用途。	⁵Their twigs will be broken off before grown, their fruit useless, unripe for eating and good for nothing.
⁶到了审判之日，凡不合法而生的子女，将作他们父母淫行的证人。	⁶Children born of unlawful intercourse witness, when God examines them, to the wrongdoing of their parents.
⁷义人纵或夭折，亦必获享安息。	⁷The upright, even if he dies before his time, will be at rest.
⁸因为，可敬的老年并不在于高寿，也不在于以年岁来衡量；	⁸Honorable age does not depend on length of days, nor is the number of years a true measure of life.
⁹其实；人的老年是在于有智慧，高寿是在于生活纯洁。	⁹A man's gray hair is understanding, and a spotless life is ripe old age.
¹⁰这样的人悦乐了天主，也为天主所爱，因他生活在罪人中间，所以天主把他接去。	¹⁰The upright was pleasing to God, who loved him, and since he was living among sinners, he was taken up.
¹¹他被接去，免得邪恶改变了他的心意，虚伪迷惑了他的心灵；	¹¹God removed him lest evil impair his understanding and treachery seduce his soul.
¹²因为罪恶的蛊惑，使人丧失天良；情欲的风暴，毁坏纯朴的心灵。	¹²For the fascination of evil obscures true values and restless desire undermines a simple heart.
¹³他在短期内成为完人，与满享高寿无异。	¹³Though his life soon ended, he traveled far.
¹⁴他的灵魂使天主悦乐，因此，天主迅速将他从邪恶之中提去。世人见了，并不明了，也不存心细想：	¹⁴Because his soul was precious to the Lord, he was quickly removed from the wickedness around him.
¹⁵他拣选的人，必获恩宠和仁慈；对他虔诚的人，必蒙眷顾。	¹⁵People saw but did not under-stand, and it did not occur to them that God's grace and mercy are with his chosen ones, his protection is for the holy.
¹⁶死去的义人，是判定活着而不虔敬的人有罪；夭折的青年完人，是判定高寿而不义的老年人有罪。	¹⁶The just man who dies will condemn the wicked man who survives. A life fulfilled early in youth condemns the endless days of the wicked.
¹⁷这般人虽然看到智慧人的结局，却不明了上主对他有什么计划，也不明了上主为什么使他平安无恙；	¹⁷They may see the death of the wise, but they will not understand God's design for him and why he has taken him to safety.
¹⁸他们见了，反而嗤笑，但上主却要讥笑他们。	¹⁸They may see and sneer at him, but the Lord will also laugh at them
¹⁹最后，他们将成为一具卑鄙的死尸，是亡者中的永远的耻辱，因为上主要将他们打倒在地，使之俯首无言，连根拔除，彻底破坏，长处于痛苦中，永无记念存在。	¹⁹when they have become a useless corpse, a loathsome and dead thing forever. The Lord will dash them to the ground, voiceless, shaking them from their foundations; they will wither and suffer anguish; even their memory will fade.
²⁰在清算他们的罪恶时，他们将战兢前来受审，他们的邪恶要起来作证，控告他们。	²⁰They will come trembling for the reckoning of their sins and they will be confounded when confronted with their wickedness.
