箴言 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
智慧的呼喚
8 智慧不是在呼喚嗎？
悟性不是在呐喊嗎？
2 她在路邊高處站立，
她在十字街頭停留，
3 在城門旁，在入口處大喊：
4 「世人啊，我呼喚你們，
我向全人類大聲呼籲。
5 愚昧人啊，要學會謹慎！
愚頑人啊，要慎思明辨！
6 你們聽啊，我要說美好的話，
開口談論正直的事。
7 我的口傳揚真理，
我的嘴憎恨邪惡。
8 我口中的言語公正，
沒有一句錯謬的話。
9 我的話，智者明白，哲士認同。
10 要接受我的教誨，而非白銀；
要選擇知識，而非黃金。
11 因為智慧比寶石更珍貴，
一切美物都不能與之相比。
12 「我智慧與謹慎同住，
我擁有知識和明辨力。
13 敬畏耶和華就當憎恨邪惡，
我憎恨驕傲、狂妄、惡道和謊言。
14 我有謀略和真知，
又有悟性和能力。
15 君王靠我安邦定國，
首領藉我秉公行義，
16 王公大臣靠我治理天下，
官宦貴胄憑我公正斷案。
17 愛我的，我也愛他；
懇切尋求我的，必能尋見。
18 富貴和尊榮在我，
恆久的產業和公義也在我。
19 我的果實勝過純金，
我的出產勝過純銀。
20 我在公義的道上奔走，
在公平的路上前行。
21 我要賜財富給愛我的人，
使他們的庫房充盈。
22 「在耶和華造物的起頭，
在太初萬物被造以前，
就已經有我。
23 從亙古，從太初，
大地還沒有形成以前，
我已經被立。
24 沒有深淵，
沒有湧流的水泉以前，
我已經誕生。
25 大山未曾奠定，
小丘未曾形成，
我已經出生。
26 那時耶和華還沒有造大地和原野，
還沒有造一粒塵土。
27 祂鋪設諸天的時候，我已在場。
祂在深淵上畫出地平線，
28 上使穹蒼堅固，
下使深淵的泉源安穩，
29 設定滄海的界限，
使海水不得越過祂定的範圍，
為大地奠定根基的時候，
30 我就在祂身旁，
做祂的工程師，
天天成為祂的喜樂，
終日在祂面前歡悅，
31 因祂所造的人世而歡悅，
因祂所造的世人而喜樂。
32 「孩子們啊，你們要聽從我，
持守我道路的人有福了。
33 要聽從教誨，不可輕忽，
要做智者。
34 人若聽從我、天天在我門口仰望、
時時在我門邊等候，就有福了。
35 因為找到我的，便找到了生命，
他必蒙耶和華的恩惠。
36 沒找到我就是害自己；
憎恨我就是喜愛死亡。」

當受智慧的教訓
8 智慧不是在呼喚，
聰明不是在發聲嗎？
2 它在路旁高處的最高點，
在十字路口站著；
3 在城門旁，在城門口，
在進城門的空地上大聲呼喊：
4 “眾人哪！我向你們呼喚，
對世人發聲。
5 愚蒙人哪！你們要學習精明；
愚昧人哪！你們心裡要明白事理。
6 你們聽著，因為我要講論極美的事，
我要開口說正直的事；
7 我的口要論述真理，
我的嘴唇厭惡邪惡。
8 我口裡的一切話都是公義的，
毫無彎曲欺詐。
9 我的話對明理的人，都是對的；
對得著知識的人，都是正直的。
10 你們要接受我的教訓，不要銀子；
寧願得著知識，勝過精金；
11 因為智慧比紅寶石更好，
你一切所喜愛的都不能和智慧比較。
尊榮公義出於智慧
12 我─智慧─和精明同住，
我又獲得知識和謀略。
13 敬畏耶和華就是恨惡邪惡；
驕傲、狂妄、邪惡的行為、
乖謬的口，我都恨惡。
14 我有才智和大智慧，
我有聰明，我有能力。
15 君王藉我掌權，
統治者藉我制定法紀。
16 領袖、貴族和所有公義的審判官，
都藉我治國。
17 愛我的，我必愛他；
殷切尋找我的，必定尋見。
18 財富和尊榮是我的，
恆久的財產和公義也是我的。
19 我的果實勝過黃金，勝過精金，
我的出產勝過純銀。
20 我走在公義的道上，
行在公正的路上，
21 使愛我的承受財產，
使他們的府庫滿溢。
創世以前已有智慧
22 在耶和華創造的開始，
在太初創造一切以先，就有了我。
23 在亙古、在太初，
在未有大地之前，我已經被立；
24 沒有深淵，沒有大水的泉源以先，
我已經出生。
25 大山未曾奠定，
小山未有以先，我已經出生。
26 那時，耶和華還沒有造大地和田野，
也沒有造地上的泥土。
27 他立定諸天的時候，我在那裡；
他在淵面上界劃地平線的時候，我在那裡；
28 他上使穹蒼堅固，
下使深淵的水泉穩定；
29 他為海洋定出界限，
海水不能越過他的命令，
他又劃定大地的根基；
30 那時，我在他身邊作工匠，
每天都充滿喜樂，
時常在他面前歡笑，
31 在他的大地上歡笑，
和世人一同喜樂。
聽從智慧就為有福
32 孩子們，現在你們要聽從我；
持守我道路的，是有福的。
33 你們要聽從教訓，要作智慧人，
不可離棄教訓。
34 聽從我，
天天在我門口警醒仰望，
在我門框旁邊守候的人，是有福的。
35 因為找到我的，就找到生命，
他也必得著耶和華的恩惠。
36 得罪我的，是傷害自己；
凡是恨惡我的，就是喜愛死亡。”

Wisdom’s Call
8 Does not wisdom call out?(A)
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 At the highest point along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 beside the gate leading into the city,
at the entrance, she cries aloud:(B)
4 “To you, O people, I call out;(C)
I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 You who are simple,(D) gain prudence;(E)
you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.[a]
6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 My mouth speaks what is true,(F)
for my lips detest wickedness.
8 All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse.
9 To the discerning all of them are right;
they are upright to those who have found knowledge.
10 Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,(G)
11 for wisdom is more precious(H) than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.(I)
12 “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
I possess knowledge and discretion.(J)
13 To fear the Lord(K) is to hate evil;(L)
I hate(M) pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech.
14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have insight, I have power.(N)
15 By me kings reign
and rulers(O) issue decrees that are just;
16 by me princes govern,(P)
and nobles—all who rule on earth.[b]
17 I love those who love me,(Q)
and those who seek me find me.(R)
18 With me are riches and honor,(S)
enduring wealth and prosperity.(T)
19 My fruit is better than fine gold;(U)
what I yield surpasses choice silver.(V)
20 I walk in the way of righteousness,(W)
along the paths of justice,
21 bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me
and making their treasuries full.(X)
22 “The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works,[c][d]
before his deeds of old;
23 I was formed long ages ago,
at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
when there were no springs overflowing with water;(Y)
25 before the mountains were settled in place,(Z)
before the hills, I was given birth,(AA)
26 before he made the world or its fields
or any of the dust of the earth.(AB)
27 I was there when he set the heavens in place,(AC)
when he marked out the horizon(AD) on the face of the deep,
28 when he established the clouds above(AE)
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,(AF)
29 when he gave the sea its boundary(AG)
so the waters would not overstep his command,(AH)
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.(AI)
30 Then I was constantly[e] at his side.(AJ)
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
31 rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in mankind.(AK)
32 “Now then, my children, listen(AL) to me;
blessed are(AM) those who keep my ways.(AN)
33 Listen to my instruction and be wise;
do not disregard it.
34 Blessed are those who listen(AO) to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.
35 For those who find me(AP) find life(AQ)
and receive favor from the Lord.(AR)
36 But those who fail to find me harm themselves;(AS)
all who hate me love death.”(AT)

The Excellence of Wisdom
8 Does not (A)wisdom cry out,
And understanding lift up her voice?
2 She takes her stand on the top of the [a]high hill,
Beside the way, where the paths meet.
3 She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city,
At the entrance of the doors:
4 “To you, O men, I call,
And my voice is to the sons of men.
5 O you [b]simple ones, understand prudence,
And you fools, be of an understanding heart.
6 Listen, for I will speak of (B)excellent things,
And from the opening of my lips will come right things;
7 For my mouth will speak truth;
Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are with righteousness;
Nothing crooked or perverse is in them.
9 They are all plain to him who understands,
And right to those who find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver,
And knowledge rather than choice gold;
11 (C)For wisdom is better than rubies,
And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.
12 “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
And find out knowledge and discretion.
13 (D)The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
(E)Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And (F)the perverse mouth I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom;
I am understanding, (G)I have strength.
15 (H)By me kings reign,
And rulers decree justice.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles,
All the judges of [c]the earth.
17 (I)I love those who love me,
And (J)those who seek me diligently will find me.
18 (K)Riches and honor are with me,
Enduring riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold,
And my revenue than choice silver.
20 I [d]traverse the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of justice,
21 That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth,
That I may fill their treasuries.
22 “The(L) Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way,
Before His works of old.
23 (M)I have been established from everlasting,
From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
24 When there were no depths I was brought forth,
When there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 (N)Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills, I was brought forth;
26 While as yet He had not made the earth or the [e]fields,
Or the [f]primal dust of the world.
27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there,
When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
28 When He established the clouds above,
When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,
29 (O)When He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When (P)He marked out the foundations of the earth,
30 (Q)Then I was beside Him as [g]a master craftsman;
(R)And I was daily His delight,
Rejoicing always before Him,
31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world,
And (S)my delight was with the sons of men.
32 “Now therefore, listen to me, my children,
For (T)blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction and be wise,
And do not disdain it.
34 (U)Blessed is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoever finds me finds life,
And (V)obtains favor from the Lord;
36 But he who sins against me (W)wrongs his own soul;
All those who hate me love death.”

Proverbs 8
King James Version
8 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.
36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
