箴言 8
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
当受智慧的教训
8 智慧不是在呼唤,
聪明不是在发声吗?
2 它在路旁高处的最高点,
在十字路口站着;
3 在城门旁,在城门口,
在进城门的空地上大声呼喊:
4 “众人哪!我向你们呼唤,
对世人发声。
5 愚蒙人哪!你们要学习精明;
愚昧人哪!你们心里要明白事理。
6 你们听着,因为我要讲论极美的事,
我要开口说正直的事;
7 我的口要论述真理,
我的嘴唇厌恶邪恶。
8 我口里的一切话都是公义的,
毫无弯曲欺诈。
9 我的话对明理的人,都是对的;
对得着知识的人,都是正直的。
10 你们要接受我的教训,不要银子;
宁愿得着知识,胜过精金;
11 因为智慧比红宝石更好,
你一切所喜爱的都不能和智慧比较。
尊荣公义出于智慧
12 我─智慧─和精明同住,
我又获得知识和谋略。
13 敬畏耶和华就是恨恶邪恶;
骄傲、狂妄、邪恶的行为、
乖谬的口,我都恨恶。
14 我有才智和大智慧,
我有聪明,我有能力。
15 君王藉我掌权,
统治者藉我制定法纪。
16 领袖、贵族和所有公义的审判官,
都藉我治国。
17 爱我的,我必爱他;
殷切寻找我的,必定寻见。
18 财富和尊荣是我的,
恒久的财产和公义也是我的。
19 我的果实胜过黄金,胜过精金,
我的出产胜过纯银。
20 我走在公义的道上,
行在公正的路上,
21 使爱我的承受财产,
使他们的府库满溢。
创世以前已有智慧
22 在耶和华创造的开始,
在太初创造一切以先,就有了我。
23 在亘古、在太初,
在未有大地之前,我已经被立;
24 没有深渊,没有大水的泉源以先,
我已经出生。
25 大山未曾奠定,
小山未有以先,我已经出生。
26 那时,耶和华还没有造大地和田野,
也没有造地上的泥土。
27 他立定诸天的时候,我在那里;
他在渊面上界划地平线的时候,我在那里;
28 他上使穹苍坚固,
下使深渊的水泉稳定;
29 他为海洋定出界限,
海水不能越过他的命令,
他又划定大地的根基;
30 那时,我在他身边作工匠,
每天都充满喜乐,
时常在他面前欢笑,
31 在他的大地上欢笑,
和世人一同喜乐。
听从智慧就为有福
32 孩子们,现在你们要听从我;
持守我道路的,是有福的。
33 你们要听从教训,要作智慧人,
不可离弃教训。
34 听从我,
天天在我门口警醒仰望,
在我门框旁边守候的人,是有福的。
35 因为找到我的,就找到生命,
他也必得着耶和华的恩惠。
36 得罪我的,是伤害自己;
凡是恨恶我的,就是喜爱死亡。”
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

The Blessing of Wisdom
8 Does not (A)wisdom call,
And discernment give forth her voice?
2 At the top of (B)the heights upon the way,
Where the pathways meet, she takes her stand;
3 Beside the (C)gates, at the opening to the city,
At the entrance of the doors, she makes a shout:
4 “To you, O men, I call,
And my voice is to the sons of men.
5 O (D)simple ones, understand prudence;
And, O (E)fools, understand a heart of wisdom.
6 Listen, for I will speak (F)noble things;
And the opening of my lips will reveal (G)upright things.
7 For my (H)mouth will utter truth;
And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;
There is nothing (I)twisted or crooked in them.
9 They are all (J)straightforward to him who understands,
And right to those who (K)find knowledge.
10 Take my (L)discipline and not silver,
And knowledge rather than choicest fine gold.
11 For wisdom is (M)better than pearls;
And (N)all desirable things cannot compare with her.
12 “I, wisdom, (O)dwell with prudence,
And I find (P)knowledge and discretion.
13 The (Q)fear of Yahweh is to hate evil;
(R)Pride and arrogance and (S)the evil way
And the mouth of [a](T)perverted words, I hate.
14 (U)Counsel is mine and (V)sound wisdom;
I am understanding, (W)might is mine.
15 By me (X)kings reign,
And rulers mark out righteousness.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles,
All who judge rightly.
17 I (Y)love those who love me;
And (Z)those who earnestly seek me will find me.
18 (AA)Riches and glory are with me,
Enduring (AB)wealth and righteousness.
19 My fruit is (AC)better than fine gold, even pure gold,
And my produce better than (AD)choice silver.
20 I walk in the path of righteousness,
In the midst of the pathways of justice,
21 To give those who love me an inheritance of wealth,
That I may (AE)fill their treasuries.
22 “Yahweh possessed me (AF)at the beginning of His way,
Before His deeds [b]of old.
23 From everlasting I was [c](AG)installed,
From the beginning, (AH)from the earliest times of the earth.
24 When there were no (AI)depths I was [d]brought forth,
When there were no springs heavy with water.
25 (AJ)Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills I was [e]brought forth;
26 While He had not yet made the earth and the fields outside,
Nor the first dust of the world.
27 When He (AK)established the heavens, I was there,
When (AL)He marked out a circle on the face of the deep,
28 When He made firm the skies above,
When the springs of the deep became strong,
29 When (AM)He set for the sea its boundary
So that the water would not pass over His [f]command,
When He marked out (AN)the foundations of the earth;
30 Then (AO)I was beside Him, as a master workman;
And I was a daily delight,
[g]Rejoicing always before Him,
31 [h]Rejoicing in the world, His earth,
(AP)My delight is in the sons of men.
32 “So now, O sons, (AQ)listen to me,
For (AR)blessed are they who keep my ways.
33 (AS)Hear discipline and be wise,
And do not neglect it.
34 (AT)How blessed is the man who hears me,
To watch daily at my doors,
To keep watch at my doorposts.
35 For (AU)he who finds me finds life
And (AV)obtains favor from Yahweh.
36 But he who [i]sins against me (AW)does violence to his own soul;
All those who (AX)hate me (AY)love death.”
