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
Contemporary English Version
Wisdom and Bad Friends
2 My child, you must follow
and treasure my teachings
and my instructions.
2 Keep in tune with wisdom
and think what it means
to have common sense.
3 Beg as loud as you can
for good common sense.
4 Search for wisdom
as you would search for silver
or hidden treasure.
5 Then you will understand
what it means to respect
and to know the Lord God.
6 (A) All wisdom comes from the Lord,
and so do common sense
and understanding.
7 God gives helpful advice[a]
to everyone who obeys him
and protects those
who live as they should.
8 God sees that justice is done,
and he watches over everyone
who is faithful to him.
9 With wisdom you will learn
what is right
and honest and fair.
10 Wisdom will control your mind,
and you will be pleased
with knowledge.
11 Sound judgment and good sense
will watch over you.
12 Wisdom will protect you
from evil schemes
and from those liars
13 who turned from doing good
to live in the darkness.
14 Most of all they enjoy
being mean and deceitful.
15 They are dishonest themselves,
and so are all their deeds.
Wisdom and Sexual Purity
16 Wisdom will protect you
from the smooth talk
of a sinful woman,
17 who breaks her wedding vows
and leaves the man she married
when she was young.
18 The road to her house leads
down
to the dark world
of the dead.
19 Visit her, and you will never
find the road to life again.
20 Follow the example
of good people
and live an honest life.
21 If you are honest and innocent,
you will keep your land;
22 if you do wrong
and can never be trusted,
you will be rooted out.
