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
Young's Literal Translation
3 My son! my law forget not, And my commands let thy heart keep,
2 For length of days and years, Life and peace they do add to thee.
3 Let not kindness and truth forsake thee, Bind them on thy neck, Write them on the tablet of thy heart,
4 And find grace and good understanding In the eyes of God and man.
5 Trust unto Jehovah with all thy heart, And unto thine own understanding lean not.
6 In all thy ways know thou Him, And He doth make straight thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes, Fear Jehovah, and turn aside from evil.
8 Healing it is to thy navel, And moistening to thy bones.
9 Honour Jehovah from thy substance, And from the beginning of all thine increase;
10 And filled are thy barns [with] plenty, And [with] new wine thy presses break forth.
11 Chastisement of Jehovah, my son, despise not, And be not vexed with His reproof,
12 For whom Jehovah loveth He reproveth, Even as a father the son He is pleased with.
13 O the happiness of a man [who] hath found wisdom, And of a man [who] bringeth forth understanding.
14 For better [is] her merchandise Than the merchandise of silver, And than gold -- her increase.
15 Precious she [is] above rubies, And all thy pleasures are not comparable to her.
16 Length of days [is] in her right hand, In her left [are] wealth and honour.
17 Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, And all her paths [are] peace.
18 A tree of life she [is] to those laying hold on her, And whoso is retaining her [is] happy.
19 Jehovah by wisdom did found the earth, He prepared the heavens by understanding.
20 By His knowledge depths have been rent, And clouds do drop dew.
21 My son! let them not turn from thine eyes, Keep thou wisdom and thoughtfulness,
22 And they are life to thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23 Then thou goest thy way confidently, And thy foot doth not stumble.
24 If thou liest down, thou art not afraid, Yea, thou hast lain down, And sweet hath been thy sleep.
25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, And of the desolation of the wicked when it cometh.
26 For Jehovah is at thy side, And He hath kept thy foot from capture.
27 Withhold not good from its owners, When thy hand [is] toward God to do [it].
28 Say not thou to thy friend, `Go, and return, and to-morrow I give,' And substance with thee.
29 Devise not against thy neighbour evil, And he sitting confidently with thee.
30 Strive not with a man without cause, If he have not done thee evil.
31 Be not envious of a man of violence, Nor fix thou on any of his ways.
32 For an abomination to Jehovah [is] the perverted, And with the upright [is] His secret counsel.
33 The curse of Jehovah [is] in the house of the wicked. And the habitation of the righteous He blesseth.
34 If the scorners He doth scorn, Yet to the humble He doth give grace.
35 Honour do the wise inherit, And fools are bearing away shame!
