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
Easy-to-Read Version
Listen to Wisdom
2 My son, pay attention to what I say. Remember my commands. 2 Listen to wisdom, and do your best to understand. 3 Ask for good judgment. Cry out for understanding. 4 Look for wisdom like silver. Search for it like hidden treasure. 5 If you do this, you will understand what it means to respect the Lord, and you will come to know God.
6 The Lord is the source of wisdom; knowledge and understanding come from his mouth. 7 He gives good advice to honest people and shields those who do what is right. 8 He makes sure that people are treated fairly. He watches over his loyal followers.
9 If you listen to him, you will understand what is just and fair and how to do what is right. 10 You will gain wisdom, and knowledge will bring you joy.
11 Planning ahead will protect you, and understanding will guard you. 12 These will keep you from following the wrong path and will protect you from those who have evil plans. 13 Such people have left the straight path and now walk in darkness. 14 They enjoy doing evil and are happy with the confusion it brings. 15 Their ways are crooked; they lie and cheat.
16 Wisdom will save you from that other woman, another man’s wife, who tempts you with sweet words. 17 She married when she was young, but then she left her husband. She forgot the marriage vows she made before God. 18 Going into her house leads to death. She will lead you to the grave. 19 All who enter lose their life and never return.
20 Wisdom will help you follow the example of good people and stay on the right path. 21 Honest people will live in the land, and those who do right will remain there. 22 But the wicked will be forced to leave. Those who lie and cheat will be thrown out of the land.
