箴言 8
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
當受智慧的教訓
8 智慧不是在呼喚，
聰明不是在發聲嗎？
2 它在路旁高處的最高點，
在十字路口站著；
3 在城門旁，在城門口，
在進城門的空地上大聲呼喊：
4 “眾人哪！我向你們呼喚，
對世人發聲。
5 愚蒙人哪！你們要學習精明；
愚昧人哪！你們心裡要明白事理。
6 你們聽著，因為我要講論極美的事，
我要開口說正直的事；
7 我的口要論述真理，
我的嘴唇厭惡邪惡。
8 我口裡的一切話都是公義的，
毫無彎曲欺詐。
9 我的話對明理的人，都是對的；
對得著知識的人，都是正直的。
10 你們要接受我的教訓，不要銀子；
寧願得著知識，勝過精金；
11 因為智慧比紅寶石更好，
你一切所喜愛的都不能和智慧比較。
尊榮公義出於智慧
12 我─智慧─和精明同住，
我又獲得知識和謀略。
13 敬畏耶和華就是恨惡邪惡；
驕傲、狂妄、邪惡的行為、
乖謬的口，我都恨惡。
14 我有才智和大智慧，
我有聰明，我有能力。
15 君王藉我掌權，
統治者藉我制定法紀。
16 領袖、貴族和所有公義的審判官，
都藉我治國。
17 愛我的，我必愛他；
殷切尋找我的，必定尋見。
18 財富和尊榮是我的，
恆久的財產和公義也是我的。
19 我的果實勝過黃金，勝過精金，
我的出產勝過純銀。
20 我走在公義的道上，
行在公正的路上，
21 使愛我的承受財產，
使他們的府庫滿溢。
創世以前已有智慧
22 在耶和華創造的開始，
在太初創造一切以先，就有了我。
23 在亙古、在太初，
在未有大地之前，我已經被立；
24 沒有深淵，沒有大水的泉源以先，
我已經出生。
25 大山未曾奠定，
小山未有以先，我已經出生。
26 那時，耶和華還沒有造大地和田野，
也沒有造地上的泥土。
27 他立定諸天的時候，我在那裡；
他在淵面上界劃地平線的時候，我在那裡；
28 他上使穹蒼堅固，
下使深淵的水泉穩定；
29 他為海洋定出界限，
海水不能越過他的命令，
他又劃定大地的根基；
30 那時，我在他身邊作工匠，
每天都充滿喜樂，
時常在他面前歡笑，
31 在他的大地上歡笑，
和世人一同喜樂。
聽從智慧就為有福
32 孩子們，現在你們要聽從我；
持守我道路的，是有福的。
33 你們要聽從教訓，要作智慧人，
不可離棄教訓。
34 聽從我，
天天在我門口警醒仰望，
在我門框旁邊守候的人，是有福的。
35 因為找到我的，就找到生命，
他也必得著耶和華的恩惠。
36 得罪我的，是傷害自己；
凡是恨惡我的，就是喜愛死亡。”

Wisdom’s autobiography
8 Doesn’t Wisdom cry out
and Understanding shout?
2 Atop the heights along the path,
at the crossroads she takes her stand.
3 By the gate before the city,
at the entrances she shouts:
4 I cry out to you, people;
my voice goes out to all of humanity.
5 Understand skill, you who are naive.
Take this to heart, you fools.
6 Listen, for I speak things that are correct;
from my lips comes what is right.
7 My mouth utters the truth;
my lips despise wickedness.
8 All the words of my mouth are righteous;
nothing in them is twisted or crooked.
9 All of them are straightforward to those who understand,
and upright for the knowledgeable.
10 Take my instruction rather than silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 Wisdom is better than pearls;
nothing is more delightful than she.
12 I, Wisdom, dwell with prudence;
I have found knowledge and discretion.
13 To fear the Lord is to hate evil.
I hate pride and arrogance,
the path of evil and corrupt speech.
14 I have advice and ability,
as well as understanding and strength.
15 By me kings rule,
and princes issue righteous decrees.
16 By me rulers govern,
and officials judge righteously.[a]
17 I love those who love me;
those who seek me will find me.
18 Riches and honor are with me,
as well as enduring wealth and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold;
my crops are better than choice silver.
20 I walk on the way of righteousness,
on the paths of justice,
21 to provide for those who love me
and to fill up their treasuries.
22 The Lord created me at the beginning of his way,
before his deeds long in the past.
23 I was formed in ancient times,
at the beginning, before the earth was.
24 When there were no watery depths, I was brought forth,
when there were no springs flowing with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled,
before the hills, I was brought forth;
26 before God[b] made the earth and the fields
or the first of the dry land.
27 I was there when he established the heavens,
when he marked out the horizon on the deep sea,
28 when he thickened the clouds above,
when he secured the fountains of the deep,
29 when he set a limit for the sea,
so the water couldn’t go beyond his command,
when he marked out the earth’s foundations.
30 I was beside him as a master of crafts.[c]
I was having fun,
smiling before him all the time,
31 frolicking with his inhabited earth
and delighting in the human race.
32 Now children, listen to me:
Happy are those who keep to my ways!
33 Listen to instruction, and be wise;
don’t avoid it.
34 Happy are those who listen to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorposts.
35 Those who find me find life;
they gain favor from the Lord.
36 Those who offend me injure themselves;
all those who hate me love death.

Wisdom’s Call
8 Does not wisdom call out?(A)
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 At the highest point along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 beside the gate leading into the city,
at the entrance, she cries aloud:(B)
4 “To you, O people, I call out;(C)
I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 You who are simple,(D) gain prudence;(E)
you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.[a]
6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 My mouth speaks what is true,(F)
for my lips detest wickedness.
8 All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse.
9 To the discerning all of them are right;
they are upright to those who have found knowledge.
10 Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,(G)
11 for wisdom is more precious(H) than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.(I)
12 “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
I possess knowledge and discretion.(J)
13 To fear the Lord(K) is to hate evil;(L)
I hate(M) pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech.
14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have insight, I have power.(N)
15 By me kings reign
and rulers(O) issue decrees that are just;
16 by me princes govern,(P)
and nobles—all who rule on earth.[b]
17 I love those who love me,(Q)
and those who seek me find me.(R)
18 With me are riches and honor,(S)
enduring wealth and prosperity.(T)
19 My fruit is better than fine gold;(U)
what I yield surpasses choice silver.(V)
20 I walk in the way of righteousness,(W)
along the paths of justice,
21 bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me
and making their treasuries full.(X)
22 “The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works,[c][d]
before his deeds of old;
23 I was formed long ages ago,
at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
when there were no springs overflowing with water;(Y)
25 before the mountains were settled in place,(Z)
before the hills, I was given birth,(AA)
26 before he made the world or its fields
or any of the dust of the earth.(AB)
27 I was there when he set the heavens in place,(AC)
when he marked out the horizon(AD) on the face of the deep,
28 when he established the clouds above(AE)
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,(AF)
29 when he gave the sea its boundary(AG)
so the waters would not overstep his command,(AH)
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.(AI)
30 Then I was constantly[e] at his side.(AJ)
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
31 rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in mankind.(AK)
32 “Now then, my children, listen(AL) to me;
blessed are(AM) those who keep my ways.(AN)
33 Listen to my instruction and be wise;
do not disregard it.
34 Blessed are those who listen(AO) to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.
35 For those who find me(AP) find life(AQ)
and receive favor from the Lord.(AR)
36 But those who fail to find me harm themselves;(AS)
all who hate me love death.”(AT)
