箴言 3
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
要一心仰赖耶和华
3 我儿,不可忘记我的训诲,
你的心要谨守我的诫命;
2 因为它们必把长久的日子、生命的岁数和平安,加给你。
3 不可让慈爱诚实离开你,
要系在你的颈项上,
刻在你的心版上。
4 这样,你在 神和世人眼前,
必蒙恩宠,得着美名(“名”原文作“明慧”)。
5 你要一心仰赖耶和华,
不可倚靠自己的聪明;
6 在你一切所行的路上,都要承认他,
他必使你的路径平坦正直。
7 不可自以为有智慧,
要敬畏耶和华,远离恶事。
8 这必使你的身体健康,
使你的骨头滋润。
9 你要把你的财物,
和一切初熟的农作物,敬奉耶和华。
10 这样,你的仓库必充满有余,
你的榨酒池也必盈溢新酒。
11 我儿,不可轻看耶和华的管教,
也不可厌恶他的责备;
12 因为耶和华所爱的,他必责备,
正如父亲责备他喜爱的儿子一样。
得智慧远胜得金银
13 得着智慧,
获致聪明的人,是有福的。
14 因为智慧的利润胜过银子的利润,
智慧的收益胜过黄金的收益。
15 智慧比红宝石更宝贵;
你一切所喜爱的,都不足与智慧比较。
16 智慧的右手有长寿,
左手有财富和尊荣。
17 智慧的道路尽是欢悦,
智慧的路径全是平安。
18 对紧握智慧的人来说,智慧是生命树,
凡是紧抓智慧的,都是有福的。
19 耶和华以智慧奠定大地,
以聪明坚立高天。
20 因他的知识,深渊就裂开,
天空也滴下甘露。
谨守智慧必得尊荣
21 我儿,要谨守大智慧和明辨的态度,
不可让它们离开你的眼目。
22 这样,它们就必作你的生命,
作你颈上的华饰。
23 你就可以安然走路,
你的脚必不致绊倒。
24 你躺下的时候,必不会惊恐;
你躺卧的时候,必睡得香甜。
25 忽然而来的惊恐,你不要惧怕;
恶人的毁灭临到,你也不要恐惧;
26 因为耶和华是你的倚靠,
他必护卫你的脚不陷入网罗。
27 如果你的手有行善的力量,就不可推辞,
要向那些需要帮助的人行善。
28 你那里如果有现成的,
就不可对邻舍说:
“你先回去,明天再来吧,到时,我必给你!”
29 你的邻舍在你旁边安居,
你不可设计害他。
30 如果人没有加害于你,
你不可无故与他相争。
31 不要嫉妒强暴的人,
也不可选择他所行的一切道路;
32 因为偏离正道的人,是耶和华所厌恶的,
正直人却是他所亲爱的。
33 耶和华咒诅恶人的家,
却赐福给义人的居所。
34 他讥笑那些好讥笑的人,
却赐恩给谦卑的人。
35 智慧人必承受尊荣,
愚昧人必蒙受羞辱(“必蒙受羞辱”原文作“高升成为羞辱”)。
Proverbs 3
International Children’s Bible
Advice to Children
3 My child, do not forget my teaching.
Keep my commands in mind.
2 Then you will live a long time.
And your life will be successful.
3 Don’t ever stop being kind and truthful.
Let kindness and truth show in all you do.
Write them down in your mind as if on a tablet.
4 Then you will be respected
and pleasing to both God and men.
5 Trust the Lord with all your heart.
Don’t depend on your own understanding.
6 Remember the Lord in everything you do.
And he will give you success.
7 Don’t depend on your own wisdom.
Respect the Lord and refuse to do wrong.
8 Then your body will be healthy.
And your bones will be strong.
9 Honor the Lord by giving him part of your wealth.
Give him the firstfruits from all your crops.
10 Then your barns will be full.
And your wine barrels will overflow with new wine.
11 My child, do not reject the Lord’s discipline.
And don’t become angry when he corrects you.
12 The Lord corrects those he loves,
just as a father corrects the child that he likes.
13 Happy is the person who finds wisdom.
And happy is the person who gets understanding.
14 Wisdom is worth more than silver.
It brings more profit than gold.
15 Wisdom is more precious than rubies.
Nothing you want is equal to it.
16 With her right hand wisdom offers you a long life.
With her left hand she gives you riches and honor.
17 Wisdom will make your life pleasant.
It will bring you peace.
18 As a tree makes fruit, wisdom gives life to those who use it.
Everyone who uses wisdom will be happy.
19 Using his wisdom, the Lord made the earth.
Using his understanding, he set the sky in place.
20 Using his knowledge, he made rivers flow from underground springs.
And he made the clouds drop rain on the earth.
21 My child, hold on to wisdom and reason.
Don’t let them out of your sight!
22 They will give you life.
Like a necklace, they will beautify your life.
23 Then you will go on your way in safety.
And you will not get hurt.
24 You won’t need to be afraid when you lie down.
When you lie down, your sleep will be peaceful.
25 You won’t need to be afraid of trouble coming suddenly.
You won’t need to fear the ruin that comes to the wicked.
26 The Lord will keep you safe.
He will keep you from being trapped.
27 Whenever you are able,
do good to people who need help.
28 If you have what your neighbor asks for,
don’t say to him,
“Come back later. I will give it to you tomorrow.”
29 Don’t make plans to hurt your neighbor.
He lives nearby and trusts you.
30 Don’t accuse a man for no good reason.
Don’t accuse him if he has not harmed you.
31 Don’t be jealous of men who use violence.
And don’t choose to be like them.
32 The Lord hates those who do wrong.
But he is a friend to those who are honest.
33 The Lord will put a curse on the evil person’s house.
But he will bless the home of people who do what is right.
34 The Lord laughs at those who laugh at him.
But he is kind to those who are not proud.
35 Wise people will receive honor.
But foolish people will be disgraced.
Proverbs 3
New International Version
Wisdom Bestows Well-Being
3 My son,(A) do not forget my teaching,(B)
but keep my commands in your heart,
2 for they will prolong your life many years(C)
and bring you peace and prosperity.(D)
3 Let love and faithfulness(E) never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.(F)
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.(G)
5 Trust in the Lord(H) with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths(I) straight.[a](J)
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;(K)
fear the Lord(L) and shun evil.(M)
8 This will bring health to your body(N)
and nourishment to your bones.(O)
9 Honor the Lord with your wealth,
with the firstfruits(P) of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled(Q) to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.(R)
11 My son,(S) do not despise the Lord’s discipline,(T)
and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,(U)
as a father the son he delights in.[b](V)
13 Blessed are those who find wisdom,
those who gain understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.(W)
15 She is more precious than rubies;(X)
nothing you desire can compare with her.(Y)
16 Long life is in her right hand;(Z)
in her left hand are riches and honor.(AA)
17 Her ways are pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace.(AB)
18 She is a tree of life(AC) to those who take hold of her;
those who hold her fast will be blessed.(AD)
19 By wisdom(AE) the Lord laid the earth’s foundations,(AF)
by understanding he set the heavens(AG) in place;
20 by his knowledge the watery depths were divided,
and the clouds let drop the dew.
21 My son,(AH) do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,(AI)
preserve sound judgment and discretion;
22 they will be life for you,(AJ)
an ornament to grace your neck.(AK)
23 Then you will go on your way in safety,(AL)
and your foot will not stumble.(AM)
24 When you lie down,(AN) you will not be afraid;(AO)
when you lie down, your sleep(AP) will be sweet.
25 Have no fear of sudden disaster
or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
26 for the Lord will be at your side(AQ)
and will keep your foot(AR) from being snared.(AS)
27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in your power to act.
28 Do not say to your neighbor,
“Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”—
when you already have it with you.(AT)
29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor,
who lives trustfully near you.(AU)
30 Do not accuse anyone for no reason—
when they have done you no harm.
31 Do not envy(AV) the violent
or choose any of their ways.
32 For the Lord detests the perverse(AW)
but takes the upright into his confidence.(AX)
33 The Lord’s curse(AY) is on the house of the wicked,(AZ)
but he blesses the home of the righteous.(BA)
34 He mocks(BB) proud mockers(BC)
but shows favor to the humble(BD) and oppressed.
35 The wise inherit honor,
but fools get only shame.
