Proverbi 2
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
La Sapienza contro le cattive compagnie
2 Figlio mio, se tu accoglierai le mie parole
e custodirai in te i miei precetti,
2 tendendo il tuo orecchio alla sapienza,
inclinando il tuo cuore alla prudenza,
3 se appunto invocherai l'intelligenza
e chiamerai la saggezza,
4 se la ricercherai come l'argento
e per essa scaverai come per i tesori,
5 allora comprenderai il timore del Signore
e troverai la scienza di Dio,
6 perché il Signore dà la sapienza,
dalla sua bocca esce scienza e prudenza.
7 Egli riserva ai giusti la sua protezione,
è scudo a coloro che agiscono con rettitudine,
8 vegliando sui sentieri della giustizia
e custodendo le vie dei suoi amici.
9 Allora comprenderai l'equità e la giustizia,
e la rettitudine con tutte le vie del bene,
10 perché la sapienza entrerà nel tuo cuore
e la scienza delizierà il tuo animo.
11 La riflessione ti custodirà
e l'intelligenza veglierà su di te,
12 per salvarti dalla via del male,
dall'uomo che parla di propositi perversi,
13 da coloro che abbandonano i retti sentieri
per camminare nelle vie delle tenebre,
14 che godono nel fare il male,
gioiscono dei loro propositi perversi;
15 i cui sentieri sono tortuosi
e le cui strade sono oblique,
16 per salvarti dalla donna straniera,
dalla forestiera che ha parole seducenti,
17 che abbandona il compagno della sua giovinezza
e dimentica l'alleanza con il suo Dio.
18 La sua casa conduce verso la morte
e verso il regno delle ombre i suoi sentieri.
19 Quanti vanno da lei non fanno ritorno,
non raggiungono i sentieri della vita.
20 Per questo tu camminerai sulla strada dei buoni
e ti atterrai ai sentieri dei giusti,
21 perché gli uomini retti abiteranno nel paese
e gli integri vi resteranno,
22 ma i malvagi saranno sterminati dalla terra,
gli infedeli ne saranno strappati.
箴言 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
智慧的益處
2 孩子啊,
你若接受我的教誨,
珍愛我的誡命,
2 側耳聆聽智慧,
傾心渴慕悟性;
3 你若呼求洞見,
竭力追求悟性,
4 尋它如尋銀子,
找它如找寶藏,
5 你就會懂得敬畏耶和華,
認識上帝。
6 因為耶和華賜人智慧,
知識和悟性出自祂的口。
7 祂使正直人充滿智慧,
是行為純全者的盾牌。
8 祂看守正義之路,
護衛虔誠人的道。
9 這樣,你就明白何為仁義、
公平和正直,
懂得一切美善之道。
10 因為智慧必進入你心,
知識必令你的靈歡快。
11 明辨力必護佑你,
悟性必看顧你。
12 智慧必救你遠離惡道,
脫離言語荒謬的人。
13 他們捨棄正道,走上黑路,
14 以行惡為樂,喜愛惡人的邪僻;
15 他們的道路歪邪,行徑扭曲。
16 智慧要救你脫離淫婦,
脫離花言巧語的妓女。
17 她撇棄了年輕時的丈夫,
忘了在上帝面前立的約。
18 她的家通向死亡,
她的路直達陰間。
19 到她那裡的人都有去無回,
找不到生命之道。
20 所以你要行善人的路,
守義人的道。
21 因為在地上,
正直人必安居,
純全無過的人必長存,
22 惡人必遭滅絕,
奸徒必被剷除。
Proverbs 2
GOD’S WORD Translation
The Benefit of Wisdom
2 My son,
if you take my words ⌞to heart⌟
and treasure my commands within you,
2 if you pay close attention to wisdom,
and let your mind reach for understanding,
3 if indeed you call out for insight,
if you ask aloud for understanding,
4 if you search for wisdom as if it were money
and hunt for it as if it were hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and you will find the knowledge of God.
6 The Lord gives wisdom.
From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He has reserved priceless wisdom for decent people.
He is a shield for those who walk in integrity
8 in order to guard those on paths of justice
and to watch over the way of his godly ones.
9 Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—
every good course ⌞in life⌟.
10 Wisdom will come into your heart.
Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Foresight will protect you.
Understanding will guard you.
12 ⌞Wisdom will⌟ save you
from the way of evil,
from the person who speaks devious things,
13 from those who abandon the paths of righteousness
to walk the ways of darkness,
14 from those who enjoy doing evil,
from those who find joy in the deviousness of evil.
15 Their paths are crooked.
Their ways are devious.
16 ⌞Wisdom will⌟ also save you
from an adulterous woman,
from a loose woman with her smooth talk,
17 who leaves ⌞her husband,⌟ the closest friend of her youth,
and forgets her marriage vows to her God.
18 Her house sinks down to death.
Her ways lead to the souls of the dead.
19 None who have sex with her come back.
Nor do they ever reach the paths of life.
20 So walk in the way of good people
and stay on the paths of righteous people.
21 Decent people will live in the land.
People of integrity will remain in it.
22 But wicked people will be cut off from the land
and treacherous people will be torn [a] from it.
