箴言-Proverbs 第 2 章

2:1我兒，你若領受我的言語，將我的誡命珍藏在你裡面，
My son, if you receive my words And treasure up my commandments within you,
2:2側耳聽智慧，傾心求聰明；
Making your ear attentive to wisdom And inclining your heart to understanding;
2:3你若呼求明哲，揚聲求聰明，
Indeed, if you cry out for discernment And lift up your voice for understanding;
2:4尋找她，如尋找銀子，搜求她，如搜求隱藏的珍寶，
If you seek her like silver And search for her like hidden treasures,
2:5你就明白如何敬畏耶和華，得以認識神。
Then you will understand the fear of Jehovah And find the knowledge of God.
2:6因為耶和華賜人智慧；知識和聰明都由祂口而出；
For Jehovah gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
2:7祂給正直人積存真智慧，給行為純全的人作盾牌，
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
2:8保守公平的途徑，護庇虔誠人的道路。
Guarding the paths of justice And keeping the way of His faithful ones.
2:9你就必明白公義、公平、公正，和一切善美的途徑。
Then you will understand righteousness and justice And equity, indeed, every good path.
2:10智慧必進入你心，你魂必喜悅知識；
For wisdom will enter your heart, And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
2:11謀略必護衛你；聰明必保守你：
Discretion will watch over you; Understanding will keep you:
2:12救你脫離邪惡的道路，脫離說乖謬話的人。
To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things,
2:13那等人捨棄正直的途徑，行走黑暗的道路，
From those who forsake the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness,
2:14喜悅作惡，歡喜惡人的乖僻，
Who rejoice in doing evil And delight in the perverseness of evil,
2:15他們的途徑彎曲，他們的道路偏岔。
Whose paths are crooked, And who are devious in their ways;
2:16智慧要救你脫離淫婦，就是那油嘴滑舌的外女；
To deliver you from the strange woman, From the adulteress who flatters with her words,
2:17她離棄少年的同伴，忘了神的盟約；
Who forsakes the companion of her youth And forgets the covenant of her God;
2:18她的家陷入死亡，她的路引向陰間。
For her house sinks down to death, And her paths lead to the dead;
2:19凡到她那裡去的，不得轉回，也得不著生命的途徑。
None who go to her ever return, Nor do they attain to the paths of life;
2:20智慧必使你行善人的道路，守義人的途徑。
That you may walk in the way of good men And keep the paths of the righteous;
2:21因為正直人必在地上居住；完全人必在其上存留。
For the upright will dwell in the land, And the perfect will remain in it;
2:22惟有惡人必從地上剪除，奸詐的必從其上拔出。
But the wicked will be cut off from the land, And the treacherous will be uprooted from it.
