箴言 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
信靠耶和华
3 孩子啊，不要忘记我的训言，
要把我的诫命存在心里，
2 因为这必使你延年益寿，
幸福平安。
3 不要让慈爱和信实离开你，
要把他们系在你的颈项上，
刻在你的心坎上。
4 这样，你必蒙上帝和世人的喜悦，
享有美誉。
5 你要全心信靠耶和华，
不可倚靠自己的悟性。
6 凡事都要寻求祂，
祂必指引你走正路。
7 不要自以为有智慧，
要敬畏耶和华，远离恶事。
8 这样可医治你的身体，
滋润你的筋骨。
9 你要用自己的财富和一切初熟的物产来尊崇耶和华，
10 祂必使你五谷满仓，
榨酒池溢出新酿。
11 孩子啊，不可轻视耶和华的管教，
也不可厌烦祂的责备。
12 因为耶和华责备祂所爱的人，
就像父亲责备他所疼爱的孩子。
13 找到智慧、得到悟性的人有福了，
14 因为智慧比银子更有价值，
比金子更有益处，
15 比珠宝更珍贵；
你所喜爱的一切都难以相比。
16 智慧的右手有长寿，
左手有富贵和尊荣。
17 她的路上有福乐，
她的道上有平安。
18 对持守智慧的人来说，
智慧是生命树，
紧握智慧的人必蒙祝福。
19 耶和华以智慧奠立大地，
以悟性铺设诸天；
20 祂的知识使深渊裂开，
使天上降下甘霖。
21 孩子啊，你要守护智慧和明辨力，
别让她们离开你的视线。
22 她们必给你带来生命，
作你颈项上华美的装饰。
23 如此，你必步履稳健，不致失足；
24 你必安然躺卧，睡得香甜。
25 不要怕突来的灾祸，
不要怕恶人遭毁灭，
26 因为耶和华是你的靠山，
祂使你的脚不陷入网罗。
27 倘若有力量行善，
就当帮助有需要的人，不要推托。
28 倘若可以帮忙，
就不可对有求于你的邻人说：
“回去吧，明天再来，我必给你！”
29 邻舍在你附近安分居住，
不可谋害他。
30 别人若没有害你，
不要无故与他相争。
31 不要羡慕残暴之徒，
也不可步其后尘，
32 因为耶和华憎恶邪僻之徒，
喜爱正直的人。
33 耶和华咒诅恶人的家，
赐福义人的家。
34 耶和华讥笑好讥诮的人，
恩待谦卑的人。
35 智者得尊荣，
愚人受羞辱。

Trust in the Lord
3 My son, don’t forget my instruction.
Let your heart guard my commands,
2 because they will help you live a long time
and provide you with well-being.
3 Don’t let loyalty and faithfulness leave you.
Bind them on your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will find favor and approval
in the eyes of God and humanity.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
don’t rely on your own intelligence.
6 Know him in all your paths,
and he will keep your ways straight.
7 Don’t consider yourself wise.
Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
8 Then your body[a] will be healthy
and your bones strengthened.
9 Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with the first of all your crops.
10 Then your barns will be filled with plenty,
and your vats will burst with wine.
11 Don’t reject the instruction of the Lord, my son;
don’t despise his correction.
12 The Lord loves those he corrects,
just like a father who treats his son with favor.
Value of wisdom
13 Happy are those who find wisdom
and those who gain understanding.
14 Her profit is better than silver,
and her gain better than gold.
15 Her value exceeds pearls;
all you desire can’t compare with her.
16 In her right hand is a long life;
in her left are wealth and honor.
17 Her ways are pleasant;
all her paths are peaceful.
18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
those who hold her tight are happy.
19 The Lord laid the foundations of the earth with wisdom,
establishing the heavens with understanding.
20 With his knowledge, the watery depths burst open,
and the skies drop dew.
Integrity of wisdom
21 My son, don’t let them slip from your eyes;
hold on to sound judgment and discretion.
22 They will be life for your whole being,
and an ornament for your neck.
23 Then you will walk safely on your path,
and your foot won’t stumble.
24 If you lie down, you won’t be terrified.
When you lie down, your sleep will be pleasant.
25 Don’t fear sudden terror
or the ruin that comes to the wicked.
26 The Lord will be your confidence;
he will guard your feet from being snared.
27 Don’t withhold good from someone who deserves it,
when it is in your power to do so.
28 Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go and come back;
I’ll give it to you tomorrow,” when you have it.
29 Don’t plan to harm your neighbor
who trusts and lives near you.
30 Don’t accuse anyone without reason,
when they haven’t harmed you.
31 Don’t envy violent people
or choose any of their ways.
32 Devious people are detestable to the Lord,
but the virtuous are his close friends.
33 The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the home of the righteous.
34 He mocks mockers,
but he shows favor to the humble.
35 The wise gain respect,
but fools receive shame.

4 (E)And so find favor and [a]high esteem
In the sight of God and man.
5 (F)Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
(G)And lean not on your own understanding;
6 (H)In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall [b]direct your paths.
7 Do not be wise in your own (I)eyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
8 It will be health to your [c]flesh,
And (J)strength[d] to your bones.
9 (K)Honor the Lord with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10 (L)So your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 (M)My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor detest His correction;
12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects,

And the man who gains understanding;
14 (P)For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies,
And (Q)all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.
16 (R)Length of days is in her right hand,
In her left hand riches and honor.
17 (S)Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.
18 She is (T)a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who [e]retain her.

And clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes—

But (AE)He blesses the home of the just.
34 (AF)Surely He scorns the scornful,
But gives grace to the humble.

But shame shall be the legacy of fools.

Using Wisdom
3 My son,
do not forget my teachings,
and keep my commands in mind,
2 because they will bring you
long life, good years, and peace.
3 Do not let mercy and truth leave you.
Fasten them around your neck.
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will find favor and much success
in the sight of Elohim and humanity.
5 Trust Yahweh with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths smooth.[a]
7 Do not consider yourself wise.
Fear Yahweh, and turn away from evil.
8 Then your body will be healed,
and your bones will have nourishment.
9 Honor Yahweh with your wealth
and with the first and best part of all your income.[b]
10 Then your barns will be full,
and your vats will overflow with fresh wine.
11 Do not reject the discipline of Yahweh, my son,
and do not resent his warning,
12 because Yahweh warns the one he loves,
even as a father warns a son with whom he is pleased.
13 Blessed is the one who finds wisdom
and the one who obtains understanding.
14 The profit gained from wisdom is greater than
the profit gained from silver.
Its yield is better than fine gold.
15 Wisdom is more precious than jewels,
and all your desires cannot equal it.
16 Long life is in wisdom’s right hand.
In wisdom’s left hand are riches and honor.
17 Wisdom’s ways are pleasant ways,
and all its paths lead to peace.
18 Wisdom is a tree of life
for those who take firm hold of it.
Those who cling to it are blessed.
19 By Wisdom Yahweh laid the foundation of the earth.
By understanding he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the deep waters were divided,
and the skies dropped dew.
21 My son,
do not lose sight of these things.
Use priceless wisdom and foresight.
22 Then they will mean life for you,
and they will grace your neck.
23 Then you will go safely on your way,
and you will not hurt your foot.
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid.
As you lie there, your sleep will be sweet.
25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror
or of the destruction of wicked people when it comes.
26 Yahweh will be your confidence.
He will keep your foot from getting caught.
27 Do not hold back anything good
from those who are entitled to it
when you have the power to do so.
28 When you have the good thing with you, do not tell your neighbor,
“Go away!
Come back tomorrow.
I’ll give you something then.”
29 Do not plan to do something wrong to your neighbor
while he is sitting there with you and suspecting nothing.
30 Do not quarrel with a person for no reason
if he has not harmed you.
31 Do not envy a violent person.
Do not choose any of his ways.
32 The devious person is disgusting to Yahweh.
Yahweh’s intimate advice is with decent people.
33 Yahweh curses the house of wicked people,
but he blesses the home of righteous people.
34 When he mocks the mockers,
he is gracious to humble people.
35 Wise people will inherit honor,
but fools will bear disgrace.
