箴言 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
智慧的呼唤
8 智慧不是在呼唤吗？
悟性不是在呐喊吗？
2 她在路边高处站立，
她在十字街头停留，
3 在城门旁，在入口处大喊：
4 “世人啊，我呼唤你们，
我向全人类大声呼吁。
5 愚昧人啊，要学会谨慎！
愚顽人啊，要慎思明辨！
6 你们听啊，我要说美好的话，
开口谈论正直的事。
7 我的口传扬真理，
我的嘴憎恨邪恶。
8 我口中的言语公正，
没有一句错谬的话。
9 我的话，智者明白，哲士认同。
10 要接受我的教诲，而非白银；
要选择知识，而非黄金。
11 因为智慧比宝石更珍贵，
一切美物都不能与之相比。
12 “我智慧与谨慎同住，
我拥有知识和明辨力。
13 敬畏耶和华就当憎恨邪恶，
我憎恨骄傲、狂妄、恶道和谎言。
14 我有谋略和真知，
又有悟性和能力。
15 君王靠我安邦定国，
首领借我秉公行义，
16 王公大臣靠我治理天下，
官宦贵胄凭我公正断案。
17 爱我的，我也爱他；
恳切寻求我的，必能寻见。
18 富贵和尊荣在我，
恒久的产业和公义也在我。
19 我的果实胜过纯金，
我的出产胜过纯银。
20 我在公义的道上奔走，
在公平的路上前行。
21 我要赐财富给爱我的人，
使他们的库房充盈。
22 “在耶和华造物的起头，
在太初万物被造以前，
就已经有我。
23 从亘古，从太初，
大地还没有形成以前，
我已经被立。
24 没有深渊，
没有涌流的水泉以前，
我已经诞生。
25 大山未曾奠定，
小丘未曾形成，
我已经出生。
26 那时耶和华还没有造大地和原野，
还没有造一粒尘土。
27 祂铺设诸天的时候，我已在场。
祂在深渊上画出地平线，
28 上使穹苍坚固，
下使深渊的泉源安稳，
29 设定沧海的界限，
使海水不得越过祂定的范围，
为大地奠定根基的时候，
30 我就在祂身旁，
做祂的工程师，
天天成为祂的喜乐，
终日在祂面前欢悦，
31 因祂所造的人世而欢悦，
因祂所造的世人而喜乐。
32 “孩子们啊，你们要听从我，
持守我道路的人有福了。
33 要听从教诲，不可轻忽，
要做智者。
34 人若听从我、天天在我门口仰望、
时时在我门边等候，就有福了。
35 因为找到我的，便找到了生命，
他必蒙耶和华的恩惠。
36 没找到我就是害自己；
憎恨我就是喜爱死亡。”
Proverbs 8
English Standard Version
The Blessings of Wisdom
8 Does not (A)wisdom call?
Does not (B)understanding raise her voice?
2 On (C)the heights beside the way,
at the crossroads she takes her stand;
3 beside (D)the gates in front of (E)the town,
at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud:
4 “To you, O (F)men, I call,
and my cry is to (G)the children of man.
5 O (H)simple ones, learn (I)prudence;
O (J)fools, learn sense.
6 Hear, for I will speak (K)noble things,
and from my lips will come (L)what is right,
7 for my (M)mouth will utter truth;
wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are righteous;
there is nothing (N)twisted or crooked in them.
9 They are all (O)straight to him who understands,
and right to those who find knowledge.
10 (P)Take my instruction instead of silver,
and knowledge rather than choice gold,
11 (Q)for wisdom is better than jewels,
and (R)all that you may desire cannot compare with her.
12 “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
and I find knowledge and (S)discretion.
13 (T)The fear of the Lord is (U)hatred of evil.
(V)Pride and arrogance and the way of evil
and (W)perverted speech I hate.
14 I have (X)counsel and (Y)sound wisdom;
I have insight; (Z)I have strength.
15 By me (AA)kings reign,
and rulers decree what is just;
16 by me princes rule,
and nobles, all who govern justly.[a]
17 (AB)I love those who love me,
and (AC)those who seek me diligently find me.
18 (AD)Riches and honor are with me,
(AE)enduring wealth and (AF)righteousness.
19 My fruit is (AG)better than (AH)gold, even fine gold,
and my yield than (AI)choice silver.
20 I walk in the way of righteousness,
in the paths of justice,
21 granting an inheritance to those who love me,
and filling their treasuries.
22 (AJ)“The Lord (AK)possessed[b] me at the beginning of his work,[c]
the first of his acts (AL)of old.
23 Ages ago I was (AM)set up,
at the first, (AN)before the beginning of the earth.
24 When there were no (AO)depths I was (AP)brought forth,
when there were no springs abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains (AQ)had been shaped,
(AR)before the hills, I was brought forth,
26 before he had made the earth with its fields,
or the first of the dust of the world.
27 When he (AS)established the heavens, I was there;
when he drew (AT)a circle on the face of the deep,
28 when he (AU)made firm the skies above,
when he established[d] the fountains of the deep,
29 when he (AV)assigned to the sea its (AW)limit,
so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out (AX)the foundations of the earth,
30 then (AY)I was beside him, like a master workman,
and I was daily his[e] (AZ)delight,
rejoicing before him always,
31 (BA)rejoicing in his (BB)inhabited world
and delighting in the children of man.
32 “And now, (BC)O sons, listen to me:
(BD)blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 (BE)Hear instruction and be wise,
and do not neglect it.
34 (BF)Blessed is the one who listens to me,
watching daily at my gates,
waiting beside my doors.
35 For (BG)whoever finds me (BH)finds life
and (BI)obtains favor from the Lord,
36 but he who fails to find me (BJ)injures himself;
all who (BK)hate me (BL)love death.”
