箴言 2
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
智慧使人认识 神
2 我儿，如果你接受我的话，
把我的诫命珍藏在心里，
2 留心听智慧，
致力求聪明；
3 如果你为求哲理而呼喊，
为求聪明而扬声；
4 如果你寻找它如同寻找银子，
搜寻它好象搜寻宝藏；
5 你就明白怎样敬畏耶和华，
并且获得对 神的认识。
6 因为耶和华赐人智慧，
知识和聪明都出自他的口。
7 他为正直人珍藏大智慧，
给行为完全的人作盾牌；
8 为要看顾正直人的路径，
护卫虔诚人的道路。
9 这样，你就明白公义、公正、正直，
以及一切善道。
智慧使人行走义路
10 智慧必进入你的心，
知识必使你欢悦。
11 明辨的能力必护卫你，
聪明必看顾你；
12 要救你脱离邪恶的道路，
脱离说话乖谬的人。
13 那些人离弃正道，
走上黑暗的道路。
14 他们喜欢行恶，
喜悦恶人的乖谬。
15 他们的道路弯曲，
他们的行径偏离正道。
16 智慧要救你脱离淫妇，
脱离说谄媚话的妓女。
17 她离弃年轻时的配偶，
忘记了 神的约；
18 她的家陷入死地，
她的路径下落阴间。
19 凡是进到她那里去的，都不能转回，
必得不着生路。
20 因此，智慧必使你走在良善人的道上，
持守义人的路。
21 因为正直人必在地上安居，
完全人必在世上存留；
22 但恶人必从地上除灭，
行事奸诈的必从世上拔除。
Proverbs 2

The good results of wise teaching
2 My child, listen to my teaching. Think about my commands. 2 Listen carefully, so that you understand what wisdom really is. 3 Yes, always try to learn what is right. Never stop trying to understand. 4 Look for wisdom as carefully as you would look for silver, or valuable jewels.
5 Then you will understand how to respect the Lord with fear. You will learn all about God. 6 It is the Lord who gives wisdom to people. He teaches us to understand things, so that we know what is true. 7 He helps good people to be wise in how they live. And he keeps honest people safe. 8 He protects the lives of righteous people. He takes care of people who serve him faithfully.
9 So learn from God. Then you will understand what is right, true and fair. You will know the best way to live. 10 You will become wise in your thoughts. Your knowledge of what is right will make you happy.
11 You will know the right thing to do, and that will keep you safe. 12 You will not join with wicked people. You will keep away from those who speak false things. 13 Those people no longer follow honest ways. They live in dark places. 14 They enjoy doing wicked and evil things. 15 They only do wrong things. They are always deceiving others.
16 If you have wisdom, you will not listen to the sweet words of a prostitute. A woman who likes to have sex with many men will not deceive you. 17 That kind of woman leaves her own husband. She married him when she was young. Now she forgets what she promised to God at the time of her marriage.
18 Do not go into her house! If you do, you will be on the road to death. If you follow her, you will arrive at the home of the spirits of dead people. 19 Anybody who visits her will never return. He will never find the way back to a good life.
20 If you have wisdom, you will enjoy life, as good people do. You will live as righteous people live. 21 Good and honest people will continue to live in our land. 22 But God will remove wicked people from the land. He will throw out all those who are not faithful.
