箴言 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
宜謹守誡命
3 我兒,不要忘記我的法則[a],你心要謹守我的誡命, 2 因為他必將長久的日子、生命的年數與平安加給你。 3 不可使慈愛、誠實離開你,要繫在你頸項上,刻在你心版上。 4 這樣,你必在神和世人眼前蒙恩寵,有聰明。 5 你要專心仰賴耶和華,不可倚靠自己的聰明, 6 在你一切所行的事上都要認定他,他必指引你的路。 7 不要自以為有智慧,要敬畏耶和華,遠離惡事。 8 這便醫治你的肚臍,滋潤你的百骨。 9 你要以財物和一切初熟的土產尊榮耶和華, 10 這樣,你的倉房必充滿有餘,你的酒榨有新酒盈溢。 11 我兒,你不可輕看耶和華的管教[b],也不可厭煩他的責備。 12 因為耶和華所愛的,他必責備,正如父親責備所喜愛的兒子。
智慧之寶貴
13 得智慧,得聰明的,這人便為有福! 14 因為得智慧勝過得銀子,其利益強如精金; 15 比珍珠[c]寶貴,你一切所喜愛的都不足與比較。 16 她右手有長壽,左手有富貴。 17 她的道是安樂,她的路全是平安。 18 她與持守她的做生命樹,持定她的俱各有福。 19 耶和華以智慧立地,以聰明定天, 20 以知識使深淵裂開,使天空滴下甘露。
21 我兒,要謹守真智慧和謀略,不可使他離開你的眼目。 22 這樣,他必做你的生命,頸項的美飾。 23 你就坦然行路,不致碰腳。 24 你躺下,必不懼怕;你躺臥,睡得香甜。 25 忽然來的驚恐,不要害怕;惡人遭毀滅,也不要恐懼。 26 因為耶和華是你所倚靠的,他必保守你的腳不陷入網羅。
善惡之報施
27 你手若有行善的力量,不可推辭,就當向那應得的人施行。 28 你那裡若有現成的,不可對鄰舍說:「去吧,明天再來,我必給你。」 29 你的鄰舍既在你附近安居,你不可設計害他。 30 人未曾加害於你,不可無故與他相爭。 31 不可嫉妒強暴的人,也不可選擇他所行的路。 32 因為乖僻人為耶和華所憎惡,正直人為他所親密。 33 耶和華咒詛惡人的家庭,賜福於義人的居所。 34 他譏誚那好譏誚的人,賜恩給謙卑的人。 35 智慧人必承受尊榮,愚昧人高升也成為羞辱。
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。
Proverbs 3

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.
