Châm Ngôn 9
New Vietnamese Bible
Lời Kêu Gọi Của Khôn Ngoan Và Ngu Dại
9 Sự khôn ngoan xây dựng nhà mình;
Chạm trổ bảy cột trụ;
2 Người làm thịt thú vật;
Pha rượu nho và dọn tiệc mình.
3 Người sai những tớ gái mình đi;
Từ nơi đỉnh cao nhất của thành nàng kêu gọi:
4 “Ai là người dại dột, hãy trở lại đây”;
Nàng nói với người thiếu trí hiểu:
5 “Hãy đến ăn bánh của ta
Và uống rượu ta pha;
6 Hãy từ bỏ sự dại dột và sẽ được sống;
Hãy đi theo con đường sáng suốt.”
7 Ai sửa sai người nhạo báng chuốc lấy sỉ nhục;
Ai quở trách người gian ác sẽ bị tổn thương.
8 Đừng quở trách người nhạo báng, nó sẽ ghét con;
Trách người khôn ngoan, người sẽ thương con.
9 Hãy giáo huấn người khôn ngoan thì người sẽ khôn ngoan hơn;
Hãy dạy dỗ người công chính thì kiến thức của người sẽ gia tăng.
10 Kính sợ CHÚA là khởi đầu sự khôn ngoan;
Hiểu biết Đấng Thánh là sự sáng suốt.
11 Vì nhờ ta các ngày của con sẽ được nhiều thêm,
Các năm của đời con sẽ được gia tăng.
12 Nếu con khôn ngoan, chính con sẽ được lợi ích;[a]
Nếu con nhạo báng, chính con phải chịu hậu quả.[b]
13 Người đàn bà ngu dại hay to tiếng,
Ngây ngô và không biết gì.
14 Nàng ngồi trước cửa nhà;
Ở nơi cao của thành;
15 Để kêu gọi những người qua lại trên đường,
Là những người đi theo đường mình;
16 “Ai là người dại dột, hãy trở lại đây”;
Nàng cũng nói với người thiếu trí hiểu:
17 “Nước ăn cắp thì ngọt;
Bánh ăn vụng thì ngon.”
18 Nhưng người không biết rằng đó là nơi chết chóc,
Và các khách của nàng đều ở nơi vực sâu của Âm Phủ.
Proverbs 9
New King James Version
The Way of Wisdom
9 Wisdom has (A)built her house,
She has hewn out her seven pillars;
2 (B)She has slaughtered her meat,
(C)She has mixed her wine,
She has also [a]furnished her table.
3 She has sent out her maidens,
She cries out from the highest places of the city,
4 “Whoever(D) is simple, let him turn in here!”
As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
5 “Come,(E) eat of my bread
And drink of the wine I have mixed.
6 Forsake foolishness and live,
And go in the way of understanding.
7 “He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself,
And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.
8 (F)Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you;
(G)Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
Teach a just man, (H)and he will increase in learning.
10 “The(I) fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 (J)For by me your days will be multiplied,
And years of life will be added to you.
12 (K)If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
And if you scoff, you will bear it alone.”
The Way of Folly
13 (L)A foolish woman is [b]clamorous;
She is simple, and knows nothing.
14 For she sits at the door of her house,
On a seat (M)by the highest places of the city,
15 To call to those who pass by,
Who go straight on their way:
16 “Whoever(N) is [c]simple, let him turn in here”;
And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
17 “Stolen(O) water is sweet,
And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know that (P)the dead are there,
That her guests are in the depths of [d]hell.

The Way of Wisdom
9 (A)Wisdom has built her house;
she has hewn her (B)seven (C)pillars.
2 She has (D)slaughtered her beasts; she has (E)mixed her wine;
she has also (F)set her table.
3 She has (G)sent out her young women to (H)call
from (I)the highest places in the town,
4 (J)“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
(K)To him who lacks sense she says,
5 “Come, (L)eat of my bread
and (M)drink of (N)the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave (O)your simple ways,[a] and (P)live,
(Q)and walk in the way of insight.”
7 Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,
and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
8 (R)Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
(S)reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction[b] to a wise man, and he will be (T)still wiser;
teach a righteous man, and he will (U)increase in learning.
10 (V)The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and (W)the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
11 For by me (X)your days will be multiplied,
and years will be added to your life.
12 (Y)If you are wise, you are wise for yourself;
if you scoff, you alone will bear it.
The Way of Folly
13 (Z)The woman Folly is (AA)loud;
she is seductive[c] and (AB)knows nothing.
14 She sits at the door of her house;
she takes a seat on (AC)the highest places of the town,
15 calling to those who pass by,
who are (AD)going straight on their way,
16 (AE)“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
And to him who lacks sense she says,
17 (AF)“Stolen water is sweet,
and (AG)bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know (AH)that the dead[d] are there,
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
