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。”

箴言的价值
1 这是大卫的儿子以色列王所罗门的箴言。
2 为使人认识智慧和教诲，
领悟真知灼见；
3 为使人接受劝诫，
为人处事仁义、公平、正直；
4 使愚昧人明智，
使青年有知识和明辨力；
5 使智者听了长学问，
明哲听了得指引；
6 使人领悟箴言和比喻，
明白智者的话和谜语。
7 知识始于敬畏耶和华，
愚人轻视智慧和教诲。
8 孩子啊，
你要听从父亲的教诲，
不可背弃母亲的训言。
9 因为这要作你头上的华冠，
颈上的项链。
10 孩子啊，恶人若引诱你，
千万不要听从。
11 他们若说：“跟我们来吧，
我们去埋伏杀人，
暗害无辜者取乐；
12 我们要像阴间一样生吞他们，
整个吞没他们，
使他们如坠入坟墓的人；
13 我们必得到各样宝物，
把战利品装满我们的房屋。
14 跟我们一起干吧，
大家有福同享！”
15 孩子啊，
不要走他们的道，
切莫行他们的路。
16 因为他们奔向罪恶，
急速地去杀人流血。
17 在飞鸟眼前设网罗，徒劳无功。
18 他们埋伏，却自流己血；
他们伏击，却自害己命。
19 这就是贪爱不义之财者的结局，
不义之财终要夺去他们的性命。
智慧的劝诫
20 智慧在大街上高喊，
在广场上扬声，
21 在热闹的市集宣告，
在城门口演说：
22 “你们愚昧人喜爱愚昧，
嘲讽者以嘲弄为乐，
无知者厌恶知识，
要到什么时候呢？
23 你们若因我的责备而回转，
我就向你们显明我的旨意[a]，
叫你们明白我的话语。
24 我呼唤你们，
你们却充耳不闻；
我向你们招手，
你们却视若无睹。
25 你们漠视我的劝诫，
不接受我的责备。
26 因此，
你们遭遇灾难时，
我必发笑；
惊恐临到你们时，
我必嗤笑——
27 那时，恐惧如风暴袭击你们，
灾难如旋风临到你们，
忧愁和苦难吞没你们。
28 你们呼求我，
我也不回答；
你们恳切地寻找我，
却找不到。
29 因为你们厌恶知识，
不愿意敬畏耶和华，
30 不接受我的劝诫，
又藐视我的责备。
31 所以，你们必自食其果，
因自己的恶谋而吃尽苦头。
32 愚昧人背离正道，
自招灭亡；
愚顽人逍遥自在，
毁掉自己。
33 然而，那听从我的必安然居住，
得享安宁，
不怕灾祸。”

Proverbs 1
1599 Geneva Bible
The [a]Proverbs of Solomon
1 2 The power and use of the word of God. 7 Of the fear of God and knowledge of his word. 10 We may not consent to the enticings of sinners. 20 Wisdom complaineth that she is contemned. 24 The punishment of them that contemn her.
1 The Parables of Solomon the son of David king of Israel,
2 To know wisdom, [b]and instruction, to understand the words [c]of knowledge,
3 To receive [d]instruction to do wisely, by [e]justice and judgment and equity,
4 To give unto the [f]simple sharpness of wit, and to the child knowledge and discretion.
5 And wise man shall hear and increase in learning, and a man of [g]understanding shall attain unto wise counsels,
6 To understand a parable, and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7 ¶ (A)The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 My son, hear thy [h]father’s instruction, and forsake not thy [i]mother’s teaching.
9 For they shall be [j]a comely ornament unto thine head, and as chains for thy neck.
10 ¶ My son, [k]if sinners do entice thee, consent thou not.
11 If they say, Come with us, we will lay wait for [l]blood, and lie privily for the innocent without a cause:
12 We will swallow them up alive like a [m]grave, even whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious riches, and fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in thy lot among us, we will all have one [n]purse:
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them: refrain thy foot from their [o]path.
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Certainly as without cause the net is spread before the eyes of all that hath wing:
18 So they lay wait for blood, and lie privily for [p]their lives.
19 Such are the ways of everyone that is greedy of gain: he would take away [q]the life of the owners thereof.
20 ¶ [r]Wisdom crieth without: she uttereth her voice in the [s]streets.
21 She calleth in the high street, among the prease in the enterings of the gates, and uttereth her words in the city, saying,
22 O ye [t]foolish, how long will ye love foolishness? and the scornful take their pleasure in scorning? and the fools hate knowledge?
23 (Turn you at my correction: lo, I will pour out my mind unto you, and make you understand my words.)
24 Because I have called, and ye refused: I have stretched out mine hand, and none would regard.
25 But ye have despised all my counsel, and would none of my correction,
26 I will also [u]laugh at your destruction, and mock when your fear cometh.
27 When [v]your fear cometh like sudden desolation, and your destruction shall come like a whirlwind: when affliction and anguish shall come upon you,
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer: they shall seek me early, but they shall not [w]find me,
29 Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord.
30 They would none of my counsel, but [x]despised all my correction.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the [y]fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For [z]ease slayeth the foolish, and the prosperity of fools destroyeth them.
33 But he that obeyeth me, shall dwell safely, and be quiet from fear of evil.
