箴言 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
智慧的益處
2 孩子啊，
你若接受我的教誨，
珍愛我的誡命，
2 側耳聆聽智慧，
傾心渴慕悟性；
3 你若呼求洞見，
竭力追求悟性，
4 尋它如尋銀子，
找它如找寶藏，
5 你就會懂得敬畏耶和華，
認識上帝。
6 因為耶和華賜人智慧，
知識和悟性出自祂的口。
7 祂使正直人充滿智慧，
是行為純全者的盾牌。
8 祂看守正義之路，
護衛虔誠人的道。
9 這樣，你就明白何為仁義、
公平和正直，
懂得一切美善之道。
10 因為智慧必進入你心，
知識必令你的靈歡快。
11 明辨力必護佑你，
悟性必看顧你。
12 智慧必救你遠離惡道，
脫離言語荒謬的人。
13 他們捨棄正道，走上黑路，
14 以行惡為樂，喜愛惡人的邪僻；
15 他們的道路歪邪，行徑扭曲。
16 智慧要救你脫離淫婦，
脫離花言巧語的妓女。
17 她撇棄了年輕時的丈夫，
忘了在上帝面前立的約。
18 她的家通向死亡，
她的路直達陰間。
19 到她那裡的人都有去無回，
找不到生命之道。
20 所以你要行善人的路，
守義人的道。
21 因為在地上，
正直人必安居，
純全無過的人必長存，
22 惡人必遭滅絕，
奸徒必被剷除。
Proverbs 2
Complete Jewish Bible
2 My son, if you will receive my words
and store my commands inside you,
2 paying attention to wisdom
inclining your mind toward understanding —
3 yes, if you will call for insight
and raise your voice for discernment,
4 if you seek it as you would silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure —
5 then you will understand the fear of Adonai
and find knowledge of God.
6 For Adonai gives wisdom;
from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
7 He stores up common sense for the upright,
is a shield to those whose conduct is blameless,
8 in order to guard the courses of justice
and preserve the way of those faithful to him.
9 Then you will understand righteousness, justice,
fairness and every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
knowledge will be enjoyable for you,
11 discretion will watch over you,
and discernment will guard you.
12 They will save you from the way of evil
and from those who speak deceitfully,
13 who leave the paths of honesty
to walk the ways of darkness,
14 who delight in doing evil
and take joy in being stubbornly deceitful,
15 from those whose tracks are twisted
and whose paths are perverse.
16 They will save you from a woman who is a stranger,
from a loose woman with smooth talk,
17 who abandons the ruler she had in her youth
and forgets the covenant of her God.
18 Her house is sinking toward death,
her paths lead to the dead.
19 None who go to her return;
they never regain the path to life.
20 Thus you will walk on the way of good people
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will live in the land,
the pure-hearted will remain there;
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
the unfaithful rooted out of it.
