箴言 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
信靠耶和華
3 孩子啊，不要忘記我的訓言，
要把我的誡命存在心裡，
2 因為這必使你延年益壽，
幸福平安。
3 不要讓慈愛和信實離開你，
要把他們繫在你的頸項上，
刻在你的心坎上。
4 這樣，你必蒙上帝和世人的喜悅，
享有美譽。
5 你要全心信靠耶和華，
不可倚靠自己的悟性。
6 凡事都要尋求祂，
祂必指引你走正路。
7 不要自以為有智慧，
要敬畏耶和華，遠離惡事。
8 這樣可醫治你的身體，
滋潤你的筋骨。
9 你要用自己的財富和一切初熟的物產來尊崇耶和華，
10 祂必使你五穀滿倉，
榨酒池溢出新釀。
11 孩子啊，不可輕視耶和華的管教，
也不可厭煩祂的責備。
12 因為耶和華責備祂所愛的人，
就像父親責備他所疼愛的孩子。
13 找到智慧、得到悟性的人有福了，
14 因為智慧比銀子更有價值，
比金子更有益處，
15 比珠寶更珍貴；
你所喜愛的一切都難以相比。
16 智慧的右手有長壽，
左手有富貴和尊榮。
17 她的路上有福樂，
她的道上有平安。
18 對持守智慧的人來說，
智慧是生命樹，
緊握智慧的人必蒙祝福。
19 耶和華以智慧奠立大地，
以悟性鋪設諸天；
20 祂的知識使深淵裂開，
使天上降下甘霖。
21 孩子啊，你要守護智慧和明辨力，
別讓她們離開你的視線。
22 她們必給你帶來生命，
作你頸項上華美的裝飾。
23 如此，你必步履穩健，不致失足；
24 你必安然躺臥，睡得香甜。
25 不要怕突來的災禍，
不要怕惡人遭毀滅，
26 因為耶和華是你的靠山，
祂使你的腳不陷入網羅。
27 倘若有力量行善，
就當幫助有需要的人，不要推託。
28 倘若可以幫忙，
就不可對有求於你的鄰人說：
「回去吧，明天再來，我必給你！」
29 鄰舍在你附近安分居住，
不可謀害他。
30 別人若沒有害你，
不要無故與他相爭。
31 不要羡慕殘暴之徒，
也不可步其後塵，
32 因為耶和華憎惡邪僻之徒，
喜愛正直的人。
33 耶和華咒詛惡人的家，
賜福義人的家。
34 耶和華譏笑好譏誚的人，
恩待謙卑的人。
35 智者得尊榮，
愚人受羞辱。
Proverbs 3
World English Bible
3 My son, don’t forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments,
2 for they will add to you length of days,
years of life, and peace.
3 Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you.
Bind them around your neck.
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 So you will find favor,
and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in Yahweh with all your heart,
and don’t lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
7 Don’t be wise in your own eyes.
Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.
8 It will be health to your body,
and nourishment to your bones.
9 Honor Yahweh with your substance,
with the first fruits of all your increase;
10 so your barns will be filled with plenty,
and your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline,
neither be weary of his correction;
12 for whom Yahweh loves, he corrects,
even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who gets understanding.
14 For her good profit is better than getting silver,
and her return is better than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies.
None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand.
In her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness.
All her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her.
Happy is everyone who retains her.
19 By wisdom Yahweh founded the earth.
By understanding, he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge, the depths were broken up,
and the skies drop down the dew.
21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes.
Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 so they will be life to your soul,
and grace for your neck.
23 Then you shall walk in your way securely.
Your foot won’t stumble.
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid.
Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
25 Don’t be afraid of sudden fear,
neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes;
26 for Yahweh will be your confidence,
and will keep your foot from being taken.
27 Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
28 Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again;
tomorrow I will give it to you,”
when you have it by you.
29 Don’t devise evil against your neighbor,
since he dwells securely by you.
30 Don’t strive with a man without cause,
if he has done you no harm.
31 Don’t envy the man of violence.
Choose none of his ways.
32 For the perverse is an abomination to Yahweh,
but his friendship is with the upright.
33 Yahweh’s curse is in the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
34 Surely he mocks the mockers,
but he gives grace to the humble.
35 The wise will inherit glory,
but shame will be the promotion of fools.
