箴言 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
智慧的呼喚
8 智慧不是在呼喚嗎?
悟性不是在呐喊嗎?
2 她在路邊高處站立,
她在十字街頭停留,
3 在城門旁,在入口處大喊:
4 「世人啊,我呼喚你們,
我向全人類大聲呼籲。
5 愚昧人啊,要學會謹慎!
愚頑人啊,要慎思明辨!
6 你們聽啊,我要說美好的話,
開口談論正直的事。
7 我的口傳揚真理,
我的嘴憎恨邪惡。
8 我口中的言語公正,
沒有一句錯謬的話。
9 我的話,智者明白,哲士認同。
10 要接受我的教誨,而非白銀;
要選擇知識,而非黃金。
11 因為智慧比寶石更珍貴,
一切美物都不能與之相比。
12 「我智慧與謹慎同住,
我擁有知識和明辨力。
13 敬畏耶和華就當憎恨邪惡,
我憎恨驕傲、狂妄、惡道和謊言。
14 我有謀略和真知,
又有悟性和能力。
15 君王靠我安邦定國,
首領藉我秉公行義,
16 王公大臣靠我治理天下,
官宦貴胄憑我公正斷案。
17 愛我的,我也愛他;
懇切尋求我的,必能尋見。
18 富貴和尊榮在我,
恆久的產業和公義也在我。
19 我的果實勝過純金,
我的出產勝過純銀。
20 我在公義的道上奔走,
在公平的路上前行。
21 我要賜財富給愛我的人,
使他們的庫房充盈。
22 「在耶和華造物的起頭,
在太初萬物被造以前,
就已經有我。
23 從亙古,從太初,
大地還沒有形成以前,
我已經被立。
24 沒有深淵,
沒有湧流的水泉以前,
我已經誕生。
25 大山未曾奠定,
小丘未曾形成,
我已經出生。
26 那時耶和華還沒有造大地和原野,
還沒有造一粒塵土。
27 祂鋪設諸天的時候,我已在場。
祂在深淵上畫出地平線,
28 上使穹蒼堅固,
下使深淵的泉源安穩,
29 設定滄海的界限,
使海水不得越過祂定的範圍,
為大地奠定根基的時候,
30 我就在祂身旁,
做祂的工程師,
天天成為祂的喜樂,
終日在祂面前歡悅,
31 因祂所造的人世而歡悅,
因祂所造的世人而喜樂。
32 「孩子們啊,你們要聽從我,
持守我道路的人有福了。
33 要聽從教誨,不可輕忽,
要做智者。
34 人若聽從我、天天在我門口仰望、
時時在我門邊等候,就有福了。
35 因為找到我的,便找到了生命,
他必蒙耶和華的恩惠。
36 沒找到我就是害自己;
憎恨我就是喜愛死亡。」

Proverbs 8
World English Bible
8 Doesn’t wisdom cry out?
Doesn’t understanding raise her voice?
2 On the top of high places by the way,
where the paths meet, she stands.
3 Beside the gates, at the entry of the city,
at the entry doors, she cries aloud:
4 “I call to you men!
I send my voice to the sons of mankind.
5 You simple, understand prudence!
You fools, be of an understanding heart!
6 Hear, for I will speak excellent things.
The opening of my lips is for right things.
7 For my mouth speaks truth.
Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness.
There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain to him who understands,
right to those who find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction rather than silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies.
All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it.
12 “I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling.
Find out knowledge and discretion.
13 The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil.
I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.
14 Counsel and sound knowledge are mine.
I have understanding and power.
15 By me kings reign,
and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule,
nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth.
17 I love those who love me.
Those who seek me diligently will find me.
18 With me are riches, honor,
enduring wealth, and prosperity.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold,
my yield than choice silver.
20 I walk in the way of righteousness,
in the middle of the paths of justice,
21 that I may give wealth to those who love me.
I fill their treasuries.
22 “Yahweh possessed me in the beginning of his work,
before his deeds of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,
before the earth existed.
24 When there were no depths, I was born,
when there were no springs abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled in place,
before the hills, I was born;
26 while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,
nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
27 When he established the heavens, I was there.
When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,
28 when he established the clouds above,
when the springs of the deep became strong,
29 when he gave to the sea its boundary,
that the waters should not violate his commandment,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
30 then I was the craftsman by his side.
I was a delight day by day,
always rejoicing before him,
31 rejoicing in his whole world.
My delight was with the sons of men.
32 “Now therefore, my sons, listen to me,
for blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise.
Don’t refuse it.
34 Blessed is the man who hears me,
watching daily at my gates,
waiting at my door posts.
35 For whoever finds me finds life,
and will obtain favor from Yahweh.
36 But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul.
All those who hate me love death.”
