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。”

Wisdom’s Appeal
8 Doesn’t wisdom(A) call out?
Doesn’t understanding make her voice heard?
2 At the heights overlooking the road,
at the crossroads, she takes her stand.
3 Beside the gates(B) leading into the city,
at the main entrance, she cries out:
4 “People, I call out to you;
my cry is to the children of Adam.
5 Learn to be shrewd, you who are inexperienced;
develop common sense, you who are foolish.
6 Listen, for I speak of noble things,
and what my lips say is right.
7 For my mouth tells the truth,(C)
and wickedness is detestable to my lips.
8 All the words from my mouth are righteous;
none of them are deceptive or perverse.(D)
9 All of them are clear to the perceptive,(E)
and right to those who discover knowledge.
10 Accept my instruction instead of silver,
and knowledge rather than pure gold.(F)
11 For wisdom is better than jewels,(G)
and nothing desirable can equal it.(H)
12 I, wisdom, share a home with shrewdness
and have knowledge and discretion.(I)
13 To fear the Lord is to hate evil.(J)
I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct,
and perverse speech.
14 I possess good advice and sound wisdom;[a]
I have understanding and strength.(K)
15 It is by me that kings reign(L)
and rulers enact just law;
16 by me, princes lead,
as do nobles and all righteous judges.[b]
17 I love those who love me,(M)
and those who search for me find me.(N)
18 With me are riches and honor,(O)
lasting wealth and righteousness.(P)
19 My fruit is better than solid gold,
and my harvest than pure silver.(Q)
20 I walk in the ways of righteousness,
along the paths of justice,
21 giving wealth as an inheritance to those who love me,
and filling their treasuries.
22 “The Lord acquired[c] me
at the beginning of his creation,[d]
before his works of long ago.(R)
23 I was formed[e] before ancient times,
from the beginning, before the earth began.(S)
24 I was born
when there were no watery depths(T)
and no springs filled with water.
25 Before the mountains were established,
prior to the hills,(U) I was given birth—
26 before he made the land, the fields,
or the first soil on earth.
27 I was there when he established the heavens,(V)
when he laid out the horizon on the surface of the ocean,(W)
28 when he placed the skies above,
when the fountains of the ocean gushed out,
29 when he set a limit for the sea
so that the waters would not violate his command,(X)
when he laid out the foundations of the earth.(Y)
30 I was a skilled craftsman[f] beside him.(Z)
I was his[g] delight every day,
always rejoicing before him.
31 I was rejoicing in his inhabited world,(AA)
delighting in the children of Adam.(AB)
32 “And now, sons, listen to me;
those who keep my ways are happy.(AC)
33 Listen to instruction and be wise;(AD)
don’t ignore it.
34 Anyone who listens to me is happy,(AE)
watching at my doors every day,
waiting by the posts of my doorway.
35 For the one who finds me finds life(AF)
and obtains favor from the Lord,(AG)
36 but the one who misses me[h] harms himself;(AH)
all who hate me love death.”(AI)
