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。
Proverbs 2
Amplified Bible
The Pursuit of Wisdom Brings Security
2 My son, if you will receive my words
And treasure my commandments within you,
2
So that your ear is attentive to [skillful and godly] wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding [seeking it conscientiously and striving for it eagerly];
3
Yes, if you cry out for insight,
And lift up your voice for understanding;
4
If you seek skillful and godly wisdom as you would silver
And search for her as you would hidden treasures;
5
Then you will understand the [reverent] fear of the Lord [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome]
And discover the knowledge of God.(A)
6
For the Lord gives [skillful and godly] wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7
He stores away sound wisdom for the righteous [those who are in right standing with Him];
He is a shield to those who walk in integrity [those of honorable character and moral courage],
8
He guards the paths of justice;
And He preserves the way of His saints (believers).(B)
9
Then you will understand righteousness and justice [in every circumstance]
And integrity and every good path.
10
For [skillful and godly] wisdom will enter your heart
And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11
Discretion will watch over you,
Understanding and discernment will guard you,
12
To keep you from the way of evil and the evil man,
From the man who speaks perverse things;
13
From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness;
14
Who find joy in doing evil
And delight in the perversity of evil,
15
Whose paths are crooked,
And who are devious in their ways;
16
To keep you from the immoral woman;
From the seductress with her flattering words,(C)
17
Who leaves the companion (husband) of her youth,
And forgets the covenant of her God.
18
For her house leads down to death
And her paths lead to the dead;
19
None who go to her return again,
Nor do they regain the paths of life—
20
So you will walk in the way of good men [that is, those of personal integrity, moral courage and honorable character],
And keep to the paths of the righteous.
21
For the upright [those who are in right standing with God] will live in the land
And those [of integrity] who are blameless [in God’s sight] will remain in it;
22
But the wicked will be cut off from the land
And the treacherous shall be [forcibly] uprooted and removed from it.
