箴言 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
智慧的益处
2 孩子啊，
你若接受我的教诲，
珍爱我的诫命，
2 侧耳聆听智慧，
倾心渴慕悟性；
3 你若呼求洞见，
竭力追求悟性，
4 寻它如寻银子，
找它如找宝藏，
5 你就会懂得敬畏耶和华，
认识上帝。
6 因为耶和华赐人智慧，
知识和悟性出自祂的口。
7 祂使正直人充满智慧，
是行为纯全者的盾牌。
8 祂看守正义之路，
护卫虔诚人的道。
9 这样，你就明白何为仁义、
公平和正直，
懂得一切美善之道。
10 因为智慧必进入你心，
知识必令你的灵欢快。
11 明辨力必护佑你，
悟性必看顾你。
12 智慧必救你远离恶道，
脱离言语荒谬的人。
13 他们舍弃正道，走上黑路，
14 以行恶为乐，喜爱恶人的邪僻；
15 他们的道路歪邪，行径扭曲。
16 智慧要救你脱离淫妇，
脱离花言巧语的妓女。
17 她撇弃了年轻时的丈夫，
忘了在上帝面前立的约。
18 她的家通向死亡，
她的路直达阴间。
19 到她那里的人都有去无回，
找不到生命之道。
20 所以你要行善人的路，
守义人的道。
21 因为在地上，
正直人必安居，
纯全无过的人必长存，
22 恶人必遭灭绝，
奸徒必被铲除。

7 He stores up ·wisdom [resourcefulness] for those who ·are honest [have integrity].
Like a shield he protects the innocent.
8 He ·makes sure that justice is done [L guards the path of justice],
and he protects those who are loyal to him.
9 Then you will understand what is ·honest [righteous] and ·fair [just]
and what is ·the good and right thing to do [L virtuous, every good course/path].
10 Wisdom will ·come into your mind [penetrate your heart],

14 They enjoy doing wrong

20 ·But wisdom will help you be good [or Stay on the path of good people]
and ·do what is right [guard the road of the righteous].
21 Those who ·are honest [have integrity/virtue] will live in the land,
and those who are ·innocent [blameless] will remain in it.
22 But the wicked will be ·removed [L cut off] from the land,
and the unfaithful will be ·thrown out of [L uprooted from] it.
