箴言 4
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
宜听训诲
4 众子啊,要听父亲的教训,留心得知聪明。 2 因我所给你们的是好教训,不可离弃我的法则[a]。 3 我在父亲面前为孝子,在母亲眼中为独一的娇儿。 4 父亲教训我说:“你心要存记我的言语,遵守我的命令,便得存活。 5 要得智慧,要得聪明,不可忘记,也不可偏离我口中的言语。 6 不可离弃智慧,智慧就护卫你;要爱她,她就保守你。 7 智慧为首,所以要得智慧,在你一切所得之内必得聪明[b]。 8 高举智慧,她就使你高升;怀抱智慧,她就使你尊荣。 9 她必将华冠加在你头上,把荣冕交给你。”
10 我儿,你要听受我的言语,就必延年益寿。 11 我已指教你走智慧的道,引导你行正直的路。 12 你行走,脚步必不致狭窄;你奔跑,也不致跌倒。 13 要持定训诲,不可放松;必当谨守,因为它是你的生命。 14 不可行恶人的路,不要走坏人的道。 15 要躲避,不可经过,要转身而去。 16 这等人若不行恶,不得睡觉;不使人跌倒,睡卧不安。 17 因为他们以奸恶吃饼,以强暴喝酒。 18 但义人的路好像黎明的光,越照越明,直到日午。 19 恶人的道好像幽暗,自己不知因什么跌倒。
20 我儿,要留心听我的言辞,侧耳听我的话语, 21 都不可离你的眼目,要存记在你心中。 22 因为得着它的就得了生命,又得了医全体的良药。 23 你要保守你心,胜过保守一切[c],因为一生的果效是由心发出。 24 你要除掉邪僻的口,弃绝乖谬的嘴。 25 你的眼目要向前正看,你的眼睛[d]当向前直观。 26 要修平你脚下的路,坚定你一切的道, 27 不可偏向左右,要使你的脚离开邪恶。
箴言 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
父親的教誨
4 孩子們啊,
    你們要聽從父親的教誨,
    留心學習,以便領悟,
2 因為我給你們的訓誨是美好的,
    不可背棄我的教導。
3 我年幼時在父親身邊,
    是母親唯一的寵兒。
4 父親教導我說:
    「要牢記我的話,
    遵守我的誡命,就必存活。
5 你要尋求智慧和悟性,
    不要忘記或違背我的吩咐。
6 不可離棄智慧,智慧必護佑你;
    你要熱愛智慧,智慧必看顧你。
7 智慧至上,要尋求智慧,
    要不惜一切,求得悟性。
8 高舉智慧,她必使你受尊崇;
    擁抱智慧,她必使你得尊榮。
9 她必為你戴上華冠,
    加上榮冕。」
10 孩子啊,你要聽從我的教導,
    就必延年益壽。
11 我已經指示你走智慧之道,
    引導你行正確的路。
12 你行走,必不受妨礙;
    你奔跑,絕不會跌倒。
13 你要持守教誨,不要鬆懈;
    要守護好,因為那是你的生命。
14 不要涉足惡人的道,
    不要行走壞人的路;
15 要避開,不可踏足,
    要繞道而行。
16 因為他們不作惡就無法入睡,
    不絆倒人就無法安眠;
17 他們吃的是邪惡餅,
    喝的是殘暴酒。
18 義人的道路好像黎明的曙光,
    越照越亮,直到大放光明。
19 惡人的道路一片幽暗,
    他們不知被何物絆倒。
20 孩子啊,你要聆聽我的吩咐,
    側耳聽我的訓言;
21 不要讓它們離開你的視線,
    要牢記在心。
22 因為得到它們就得到生命,
    全身也必康健。
23 要一絲不苟地守護你的心,
    因為生命之泉從心中湧出。
24 不講欺詐之言,
    不說荒謬的話。
25 眼睛要正視前方,
    雙目要向前直看。
26 要鋪平腳下的路,
    使所行之道穩妥。
27 不可偏右偏左,
    要遠離惡事。
Proverbs 4
International Children’s Bible
Wisdom Is Important
4 My children, listen to your father’s teaching.
    Pay attention so you will understand.
2 What I am telling you is good.
    Do not forget what I teach you.
3 I was once a young boy in my father’s house.
    I was like an only child to my mother.
4 And my father taught me and said,
    “Hold on to my words with all your heart.
    Keep my commands and you will live.
5 Get wisdom and understanding.
    Don’t forget or ignore my words.
6 Use wisdom, and it will take care of you.
    Love wisdom, and it will keep you safe.
7 Wisdom is the most important thing. So get wisdom.
    If it costs everything you have, get understanding.
8 Believe in the value of wisdom, and it will make you great.
    Use it, and it will bring honor to you.
9 Like flowers in your hair, it will beautify your life.
    Like a crown, it will make you look beautiful.”
10 My child, listen and accept what I say.
    Then you will have a long life.
11 I am guiding you in wisdom.
    And I am leading you to do what is right.
12 Nothing will hold you back.
    You will not be overwhelmed.
13 Always remember what you have been taught.
    Don’t let go of it.
Keep safe all that you have learned.
    It is the most important thing in your life.
14 Don’t follow the ways of the wicked.
    Don’t do what evil people do.
15 Avoid their ways. Don’t go near what they do.
    Stay away from them and keep on going.
16 They cannot sleep until they do evil.
    They cannot rest until they hurt someone.
17 They fill themselves with wickedness and cruelty
    as if they were eating bread and drinking wine.
18 The way of the good person is like the light of dawn.
    It grows brighter and brighter until it is full daylight.
19 But the wicked are like those who stumble in the dark.
    They can’t even see what has hurt them.
20 My child, pay attention to my words.
    Listen closely to what I say.
21 Don’t ever forget my words.
    Keep them deep within your heart.
22 These words are the secret to life for those who find them.
    They bring health to the whole body.
23 Be very careful about what you think.
    Your thoughts run your life.
24 Don’t use your mouth to tell lies.
    Don’t ever say things that are not true.
25 Keep your eyes focused on what is right.
    Keep looking straight ahead to what is good.
26 Be careful what you do.
    Always do what is right.
27 Do not do anything unless it is right.
    Stay away from evil.
