旧约 -- 箴言(Proverbs) -- 第 1 章 ( 本篇共有 31 章 )
1:1 以色列王大卫儿子所罗门的箴言。
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel
1:2 要使人晓得智慧和训诲。分辨通达的言语。
To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
1:3 使人处世，领受智慧，仁义，公平，正直的训诲。
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
1:4 使愚人灵明，使少年人有知识和谋略。
To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
1:5 使智慧人听见，增长学问。使聪明人得着智谋。
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
1:6 使人明白箴言和譬喻，懂得智慧人的言词和谜语。
To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
1:7 敬畏耶和华是知识的开端。愚妄人藐视智慧和训诲。
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
1:8 我儿，要听你父亲的训诲，不可离弃你母亲的法则。（或作指教）
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
1:9 因为这要作为你头上的华冠，项上的金链。
For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
1:10 我儿，恶人若引诱你，你不可随从。
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
1:11 他们若说，你与我们同去，我们要埋伏流人之血，要蹲伏害无罪之人。
If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
1:12 我们好像阴间，把他们活活吞下。他们如同下坑的人，被我们囫囵吞了。
Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
1:13 我们必得各样宝物，将所掳来的装满房屋。
We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
1:14 你与我们大家同分。我们共用一各囊袋。
Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
1:15 我儿，不要与他们同行一道。禁止你脚走他们的路。
My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
1:16 因为他们的脚奔跑行恶，他们急速流人的血。
For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
1:17 好像飞鸟，网罗设在眼前仍不躲避。
Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
1:18 这些人埋伏，是为自流己血。蹲伏是为自害己命。
And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
1:19 凡贪恋财利的，所行之路，都是如此。这贪恋之心，乃夺去得财者之命。
So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
1:20 智慧在街市上呼喊，在宽阔处发声。
Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
1:21 在热闹街头喊叫，在城门口，在城中发出言语。
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
1:22 说你们愚昧人喜爱愚昧，亵慢人喜欢亵慢，愚顽人恨恶知识，要到几时呢。
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
1:23 你们当因我的责备回转。我要将我的灵浇灌你们，将我的话指示你们。
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
1:24 我呼唤你们不肯听从。我伸手，无人理会。
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
1:25 反轻弃我一切的劝戒，不肯受我的责备。
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
1:26 你们遭灾难，我就发笑惊恐临到你们，我必嗤笑。
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
1:27 惊恐临到你们，好像狂风，灾难来到，如同暴风。急难痛苦临到你们身上。
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
1:28 那时，你们必呼求我，我却不答应，恳切的寻梢我，却寻不见。
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
1:29 因为你们恨恶知识，不喜爱敬畏耶和华，
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
1:30 不听我的劝戒，藐视我一切的责备，
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
1:31 所以必吃自结的果子，充满自设的计谋。
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
1:32 愚昧人背道，必杀己身，愚顽人安逸，必害己命。
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
1:33 惟有听从我的，必安然居住，得享安静，不怕灾祸。
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
旧约 -- 箴言(Proverbs) -- 第 2 章 ( 本篇共有 31 章 )
2:1 我儿，你若领受我的言语，存记我得命令，
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2:2 侧耳听智慧，专心求聪明。
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
2:3 呼求明哲，扬声求聪明，
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
2:4 寻梢他如寻梢银子，搜求他如搜求隐藏的珍宝，
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
2:5 你就明白敬畏耶和华，得以认识神。
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
2:6 因为耶和华赐人智慧。知识和聪明，都由他口而出。
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
2:7 他给正直人存留真智慧，给行为纯正的人作盾牌。
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
2:8 为要保守公平人的路，护庇虔敬人的道。
He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
2:9 你也必明白仁义，公平，正直，一切的善道。
Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
2:10 智慧必入你心。你的灵要以知识为美。
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
2:11 谋略必护卫你。聪明必保守你。
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
2:12 要救你脱离恶道，（恶道或作恶人的道）脱离说乖谬话的人。
To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
2:13 那等人舍弃正直的路，行走黑暗的道，
Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
2:14 喜欢作恶，喜爱恶人的乖僻。
Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
2:15 在他们的道中弯曲，在他们的路上偏僻。
Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
2:16 智慧要救你拖离淫妇，就是那油嘴滑舌的外女。
To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
2:17 他离弃幼年的配偶，忘了神的盟约。
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
2:18 他的家陷入死地，他的路偏向阴间。
For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
2:19 凡到他那里去的不得转回，也得不着生命的路。
None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
2:20 智慧必使你行善人的道，守义人的路。
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
2:21 正直人必在世上居住。完全人必在地上存留。
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
2:22 惟有恶人必然剪除。奸诈的必然拔出。
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
3:9 你要以财物，和一切初熟的土产，尊荣耶和华。
Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
3:11 我儿，你不可轻看耶和华的管教，（或作惩治）也不可厌烦他的责备。
My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
3:12 因为耶和华所爱的，他必责备。正如父亲责备所喜爱的儿子。
For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
3:13 得智慧，得聪明的，这人便为有福。
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
3:14 因为得智慧胜过得银子，其利益强如精金。

She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
3:16 他右手有长寿。左手有富贵。
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
3:17 他的道是安乐，他的路全是平安。
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
3:31 不可嫉妒强暴的人，也不可选择他所行的路。
Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
3:33 耶和华咒诅恶人的家庭，赐福与义人的居所。
The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
3:34 他讥诮那好讥诮的人，赐恩给谦卑的人。
Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
5:3 因为淫妇的嘴滴下蜂蜜，他的口比油更滑。

He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
旧约 -- 箴言(Proverbs) -- 第 6 章 ( 本篇共有 31 章 )
6:1 我儿，你若为朋友作保，替外人击掌，
My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
6:2 你就被口中的话语缠住，被嘴里的言语捉住。
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
6:3 我儿，你既落在朋友手中，就当这样行，才可救自己。你要自卑，去恳求你的朋友。
Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
6:4 不要容你的眼睛睡觉，不要容你的眼皮打盹。

6:6 懒惰人哪，你去察看蚂蚁的动作，就可得智慧。
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
6:7 蚂蚁没有元帅，没有官长，没有君王，
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
6:8 尚且在夏天豫备食物，在收割时聚敛粮食。
Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
6:9 懒惰人哪，你要睡到几时呢。你何时睡醒呢。
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
6:10 再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着手躺卧片时，
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
6:11 你的贪穷就必如强盗速来，你的缺乏仿佛拿兵器的人来到。
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
6:12 无赖的恶徒，行动就用乖僻的口。
A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
6:13 用眼传神，用脚示意，用指点划。
He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
6:14 心中乖僻，常设恶谋，布散分争。
Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
6:15 所以灾难必忽然临到他身。他必顷刻败坏无法可治。
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
6:16 耶和华所恨恶的有六样，连他心所憎恶的共有七样。
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
6:17 就是高傲的眼，撒谎的舌，流无辜人血的手，
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
6:18 图谋恶计的心，飞跑行恶的脚，
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
6:19 吐谎言的假见证，并弟兄中布散分争的人。
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
6:20 我儿，要谨守你父亲的诫命，不可离弃你母亲的法则。（或作指教）
My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
6:22 你行走，他必引导你。你躺卧，他必保守你。你睡醒，他必与你谈论。
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
6:23 因为诫命是灯，法则（或作指教）是光。训诲的责备是生命的道。
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
6:24 能保你远离恶妇，远离外女谄媚的舌头。
To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
6:25 你心中不要恋慕他的美色，也不要被他的眼皮勾引。
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
6:26 因为妓女能使人只剩一块饼，淫妇猎取人宝贵的生命。
For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
6:27 人若怀里搋火，衣服岂能不烧呢。
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
6:28 人若在火炭上走，脚岂能不烫呢。
Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
6:29 亲近邻舍之妻的，也是如此。凡挨近他的，不免受罚。
So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
6:30 贼因饥饿偷窃充饥，人不藐视他。
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
6:31 若被找着，他必赔还七倍。必将家中所有的，尽都偿还。
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
6:32 与妇人行淫的，便是无知，行这事的，必丧掉生命。
But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
6:33 他必受伤损，必被凌辱。他的羞耻不得涂抹。
A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
6:34 因为人的嫉恨，成了烈怒。报仇的时候，决不留情。
For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
6:35 什吗赎价，他都不顾。你虽送许多礼物，他也不肯干休。
He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

7:1 我儿，你要遵守我的言语，将我的命令存记在心。
My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
7:3 系在你指头上，刻在你心版上。
Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
7:4 对智慧说，你是我的姊妹。称呼聪明为你的亲人。
Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
7:5 他就保你远离淫妇，远离说谄媚话的外女。
That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
7:6 我曾在我房屋的窗户内，从我窗棂之间，往外观看。
For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
7:7 见愚昧人内，少年人中，分明有一个无知的少年人，
And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
7:8 从街上经过，走近淫妇的巷口，直往通他家的路去，
Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
7:9 在黄昏，或晚上，或半夜，或黑暗之中，
In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
7:10 看哪，有一个妇人来迎接他，是妓女的打扮，有诡诈的心思。
And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
7:11 这妇人喧囔不守约束，在家里停不住脚。
(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
7:12 有时在街市上，有时在宽阔处，或在各巷口蹲伏。
Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
7:13 拉住那少年人，与他亲嘴，脸无羞耻对他说，
So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
7:14 平安祭在我这里。今日才还了我所许的愿。
I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
7:15 因此，我出来迎接你，恳求见你的面，恰巧遇见了你。
Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
7:16 我以经用绣花毯子，和埃及线织的花纹布，铺了我的床。
I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
7:17 我又用没药，沉香，桂皮，薰了我的榻。
I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
7:18 你来，我们可以饱享爱情，直到早晨。我们可以彼此亲爱欢乐。
Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
7:19 因为我丈夫不在家，出门行远路。
For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
7:20 他手拿银囊。必到月望才回家。
He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
7:21 淫妇用许多巧言诱他随从，用谄媚的嘴逼他同行。
With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
7:22 少年人立刻跟随他，好像牛往宰杀之地，又像愚昧人带锁链，去受刑罚。
He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
7:23 直等箭穿他的肝，如同雀鸟急入网罗，却不知是自丧己命。
Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
7:24 众子阿，现在要听从我，留心听我口中的话。
Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
7:25 你的心，不可偏向淫妇的道。不要入他的迷途。
Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
7:26 因为被他伤害仆倒的不少。被他杀戳的而且甚多。
For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
7:27 他的家是在阴间之路，下到死亡之宫。
Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
8:21 使爱我的承受货财，并充满他们的府库。
That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
8:22 在耶和华造化的起头，在太初创造万物之先，就有了我。
The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
8:23 从亘古，从太初，未有世界以前，我已被立。
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

8:26 耶和华还没有创造大地，和田野，并世上的土质，我已生出。
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
8:27 他立高天，我在那里。他在渊面的周围，划出圆圈，

8:28 上使穹苍坚硬，下使渊源稳固，
