箴言 1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
箴言的功用
1 大卫的儿子以色列王所罗门的箴言：
2 要使人晓得智慧和教训，
了解充满哲理的言语；
3 使人领受明慧的教训，
就是公义、公正和正直；
4 使愚蒙人变成精明，
使少年人获得知识和明辨的能力；
5 使智慧人听了，可以增长学问，
使聪明人听了，可以获得智谋；
6 使人明白箴言和譬喻，
懂得智慧人的言词和他们的隐语。
不受恶人的引诱
7 敬畏耶和华是知识的开端，
但愚妄人藐视智慧和教训。
8 我儿，要听从你父亲的教训，
不可离弃你母亲的训诲。
9 因为这些要作你头上的华冠，
作你颈上的金炼。
10 我儿，如果坏人引诱你，
你不可随从他们。
11 如果他们说：“你跟我们来吧！
我们要埋伏流人的血，
我们要无故地潜伏伤害无辜的人；
12 我们要好象阴间一般，把他们活生生吞下，
他们整个被我们吞下，如同下坑的人一样；
13 这样，我们必得着各样贵重的财物，
把掠物装满我们的房子。
14 加入我们的行列吧！
我们大家共用一个钱袋。”
15 我儿，不可和他们走在一起，
禁止你的脚走他们的路；
16 因为他们的脚奔向邪恶，
他们急于流人的血。
17 在飞鸟眼前张设网罗，
是徒劳无功的。
18 他们埋伏，是自流己血；
他们潜伏，是自害己命。
19 凡是贪爱不义之财的，所走的路都是这样；
那不义之财夺去了贪财者的性命。
当听智慧的呼唤
20 智慧在街上呼喊，
在广场上扬声；
21 在闹市中心呼叫，
在城门口发出言语，说：
22 “你们愚蒙人喜爱愚蒙，
好讥笑的人喜欢讥笑，
愚昧人恨恶知识，要到几时呢？
23 你们要因我的责备回转，
我就把我的心意（“心意”或译：“灵”）向你们倾吐，
把我的话指示你们。
24 我呼唤，你们不肯听从；
我伸手，没有人理会。
25 你们既轻忽我的一切劝告，
不肯接受我的责备；
26 所以你们遭难的时候，我就发笑；
惊恐临到你们的日子，我就嗤笑。
27 惊恐临到你们好象风暴，
灾难如同飓风来临，
患难困苦临到你们身上。
28 那时，他们必呼求我，我却不回答；
他们切切寻找我，却寻不见；
29 因为他们恨恶知识，
不选择敬畏耶和华；
30 不接受我的劝告，
轻视我的一切责备；
31 所以，他们必自食其果，
必饱尝自己所设计谋的伤害。
32 愚蒙人的背道必杀害他们自己，
愚昧人的安逸必毁灭他们自己；
33 唯有听从我的，必安然居住，
得享安宁，免受灾祸的惊恐。”
Proverbs 1
Young's Literal Translation
1 Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
2 For knowing wisdom and instruction, For understanding sayings of intelligence,
3 For receiving the instruction of wisdom, Righteousness, judgment, and uprightness,
4 For giving to simple ones -- prudence, To a youth -- knowledge and discretion.
5 (The wise doth hear and increaseth learning, And the intelligent doth obtain counsels.)
6 For understanding a proverb and its sweetness, Words of the wise and their acute sayings.
7 Fear of Jehovah [is] a beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and instruction fools have despised!
8 Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother,
9 For a graceful wreath [are] they to thy head, And chains to thy neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing.
11 If they say, `Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause,
12 We swallow them as Sheol -- alive, And whole -- as those going down [to] the pit,
13 Every precious substance we find, We fill our houses [with] spoil,
14 Thy lot thou dost cast among us, One purse is -- to all of us.'
15 My son! go not in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path,
16 For their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain is the net spread out before the eyes of any bird.
18 And they for their own blood lay wait, They watch secretly for their own lives.
19 So [are] the paths of every gainer of dishonest gain, The life of its owners it taketh.
20 Wisdom in an out-place crieth aloud, In broad places she giveth forth her voice,
21 At the head of the multitudes she calleth, In the openings of the gates, In the city her sayings she saith:
22 `Till when, ye simple, do ye love simplicity? And have scorners their scorning desired? And do fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn back at my reproof, lo, I pour forth to you my spirit, I make known my words with you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending,
25 And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not desired.
26 I also in your calamity do laugh, I deride when your fear cometh,
27 When your fear cometh as destruction, And your calamity as a hurricane doth come, When on you come adversity and distress.
28 Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and find me not.
29 Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen.
30 They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised all my reproof,
31 And they eat of the fruit of their way, And from their own counsels they are filled.
32 For the turning of the simple slayeth them, And the security of the foolish destroyeth them.
33 And whoso is hearkening to me dwelleth confidently, And [is] quiet from fear of evil!'
Proverbs 1
King James Version
1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
