箴言 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
箴言的价值
1 这是大卫的儿子以色列王所罗门的箴言。
2 为使人认识智慧和教诲，
领悟真知灼见；
3 为使人接受劝诫，
为人处事仁义、公平、正直；
4 使愚昧人明智，
使青年有知识和明辨力；
5 使智者听了长学问，
明哲听了得指引；
6 使人领悟箴言和比喻，
明白智者的话和谜语。
7 知识始于敬畏耶和华，
愚人轻视智慧和教诲。
8 孩子啊，
你要听从父亲的教诲，
不可背弃母亲的训言。
9 因为这要作你头上的华冠，
颈上的项链。
10 孩子啊，恶人若引诱你，
千万不要听从。
11 他们若说：“跟我们来吧，
我们去埋伏杀人，
暗害无辜者取乐；
12 我们要像阴间一样生吞他们，
整个吞没他们，
使他们如坠入坟墓的人；
13 我们必得到各样宝物，
把战利品装满我们的房屋。
14 跟我们一起干吧，
大家有福同享！”
15 孩子啊，
不要走他们的道，
切莫行他们的路。
16 因为他们奔向罪恶，
急速地去杀人流血。
17 在飞鸟眼前设网罗，徒劳无功。
18 他们埋伏，却自流己血；
他们伏击，却自害己命。
19 这就是贪爱不义之财者的结局，
不义之财终要夺去他们的性命。
智慧的劝诫
20 智慧在大街上高喊，
在广场上扬声，
21 在热闹的市集宣告，
在城门口演说：
22 “你们愚昧人喜爱愚昧，
嘲讽者以嘲弄为乐，
无知者厌恶知识，
要到什么时候呢？
23 你们若因我的责备而回转，
我就向你们显明我的旨意[a]，
叫你们明白我的话语。
24 我呼唤你们，
你们却充耳不闻；
我向你们招手，
你们却视若无睹。
25 你们漠视我的劝诫，
不接受我的责备。
26 因此，
你们遭遇灾难时，
我必发笑；
惊恐临到你们时，
我必嗤笑——
27 那时，恐惧如风暴袭击你们，
灾难如旋风临到你们，
忧愁和苦难吞没你们。
28 你们呼求我，
我也不回答；
你们恳切地寻找我，
却找不到。
29 因为你们厌恶知识，
不愿意敬畏耶和华，
30 不接受我的劝诫，
又藐视我的责备。
31 所以，你们必自食其果，
因自己的恶谋而吃尽苦头。
32 愚昧人背离正道，
自招灭亡；
愚顽人逍遥自在，
毁掉自己。
33 然而，那听从我的必安然居住，
得享安宁，
不怕灾祸。”

Proverbs 1
GOD’S WORD Translation
The Reasons for Proverbs
1 The proverbs of Solomon, David’s son who was king of Israel, ⌞given⌟
2 to grasp wisdom and discipline,
to understand deep thoughts,
3 to acquire the discipline of wise behavior—
righteousness and justice and fairness—
4 to give insight to gullible people,
to give knowledge and foresight to the young—
5 a wise person will listen and continue to learn,
and an understanding person will gain direction—
6 to understand a proverb and a clever saying,
the words of wise people and their riddles.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
Stubborn fools despise wisdom and discipline.
Listen to Wisdom
8 My son,
listen to your father’s discipline,
and do not neglect your mother’s teachings,
9 because discipline and teachings
are a graceful garland on your head
and a ⌞golden⌟ chain around your neck.
10 My son,
if sinners lure you, do not go along.
11 If they say,
“Come with us.
Let’s set an ambush to kill someone.
Let’s hide to ambush innocent people for fun.
12 We’ll swallow them alive like the grave,
like those in good health who go into the pit.
13 We’ll find all kinds of valuable possessions.
We’ll fill our homes with stolen goods.
14 Join us.
We’ll split the loot equally.”
15 My son,
do not follow them in their way.
Do not even set foot on their path,
16 because they rush to do evil
and hurry to shed blood.
17 It does no good to spread a net
within the sight of any bird.
18 But these people set an ambush for their own murder.
They go into hiding only to lose their lives.
19 This is what happens to everyone
who is greedy for unjust gain.
Greed takes away his life.
20 Wisdom sings her song in the streets.
In the public squares she raises her voice.
21 At the corners of noisy streets she calls out.
At the entrances to the city she speaks her words,
22 “How long will you gullible people love being so gullible?
How long will you mockers find joy in your mocking?
How long will you fools hate knowledge?
23 “Turn to me when I warn you.
I will generously pour out my spirit for you.
I will make my words known to you.
24 “I called, and you refused to listen.
I stretched out my hands to you, and no one paid attention.
25 You ignored all my advice.
You did not want me to warn you.
26 I will laugh at your calamity.
I will make fun of you
when panic strikes you,
27 when panic strikes you like a violent storm,
when calamity strikes you like a wind storm,
when trouble and anguish come to you.
28 “They will call to me at that time, but I will not answer.
They will look for me, but they will not find me,
29 because they hated knowledge
and did not choose the fear of the Lord.
30 They refused my advice.
They despised my every warning.
31 They will eat the fruit of their lifestyle.
They will be stuffed with their own schemes.
32 “Gullible people kill themselves because of their turning away.
Fools destroy themselves because of their indifference.
33 But whoever listens to me will live without worry
and will be free from the dread of disaster.”
