Proverbs 2
The Voice
2 My son, if you accept what I am telling you
and store my counsel and directives deep within you,
2 If you listen for Lady Wisdom, attune your ears to her,
and engage your mind to understand what she is telling you,
3 If you cry out to her for insight
and beg for understanding,
4 If you sift through the clamor of everything around you
to seek her like some precious prize,
to search for her like buried treasure;
5 Then you will grasp what it means to truly respect the Eternal,
and you will have discovered the knowledge of the one True God.
6 The Eternal is ready to share His wisdom with us,
for His words bring true knowledge and insight;
7 He has stored up the essentials of sound wisdom for those who do right;
He acts as a shield for those who value integrity.
8 God protects the paths of those who pursue justice,
watching over the lives of those who keep faith with Him.
9 With this wisdom you will be able to choose the right road,
seek justice, and decide what is good and fair
10 Because wisdom will penetrate deep within
and knowledge will become a good friend to your soul.
11 Sound judgment will stand guard over you,
and understanding will watch over you as the Lord promised.
12 Wisdom will keep you from following the way of evildoers,
of those who twist words to pervert the truth,
13 Of those who reject the right road
for a darker, more sinister way of life,
14 Of those who enjoy evil
and pursue perverse pleasures,
15 Of those who journey down a crooked path,
constantly figuring out new ways to trick and deceive others.
16 Wisdom will pluck you from the trap of a seductive woman,
from the enticing propositions of the adulteress
17 Who chose to leave the husband of her youth,
to forget her sacred promises to her God;
18 For her house is on the road that leads to death,
and her path goes down to the shadowy pit.
19 Those who go to her will never return;
they will never again find their way back to true life.
20 As for you, you should walk like those who are good
and keep to the paths of those who love justice,
21 For those who live right will remain in the land
and those with integrity will endure here.
22 But not the wicked; they will be forced out and banned from this promised land,
and those who deal in deceit will be plucked up like weeds.
箴言 2
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
智慧使人认识 神
2 我儿，如果你接受我的话，
把我的诫命珍藏在心里，
2 留心听智慧，
致力求聪明；
3 如果你为求哲理而呼喊，
为求聪明而扬声；
4 如果你寻找它如同寻找银子，
搜寻它好象搜寻宝藏；
5 你就明白怎样敬畏耶和华，
并且获得对 神的认识。
6 因为耶和华赐人智慧，
知识和聪明都出自他的口。
7 他为正直人珍藏大智慧，
给行为完全的人作盾牌；
8 为要看顾正直人的路径，
护卫虔诚人的道路。
9 这样，你就明白公义、公正、正直，
以及一切善道。
智慧使人行走义路
10 智慧必进入你的心，
知识必使你欢悦。
11 明辨的能力必护卫你，
聪明必看顾你；
12 要救你脱离邪恶的道路，
脱离说话乖谬的人。
13 那些人离弃正道，
走上黑暗的道路。
14 他们喜欢行恶，
喜悦恶人的乖谬。
15 他们的道路弯曲，
他们的行径偏离正道。
16 智慧要救你脱离淫妇，
脱离说谄媚话的妓女。
17 她离弃年轻时的配偶，
忘记了 神的约；
18 她的家陷入死地，
她的路径下落阴间。
19 凡是进到她那里去的，都不能转回，
必得不着生路。
20 因此，智慧必使你走在良善人的道上，
持守义人的路。
21 因为正直人必在地上安居，
完全人必在世上存留；
22 但恶人必从地上除灭，
行事奸诈的必从世上拔除。
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。
