箴言 1
1 以色列王大衛兒子所羅門的箴言：
[the] proverbs of Solomon [the] son of David [the] king of Israel.
2 要使人曉得智慧和訓誨， 分辨通達的言語，
To learn wisdom and discipline to teach words of understanding.
3 使人處事領受智慧、 仁義、公平、正直的訓誨，
To receive correction of insight righteousness and justice and uprightness.
4 使愚人靈明， 使少年人有知識和謀略，
To give to naive people prudence to a youth knowledge and discretion.
5 使智慧人聽見，增長學問， 使聰明人得着智謀，
Let him listen a prudent [one] and let him increase insight and a discerning [one] wise directions let him get.
6 使人明白箴言和譬喻， 懂得智慧人的言詞和謎語。
To understand a proverb and an enigma [the] words of learned ones and parables their.
7 敬畏耶和華是知識的開端； 愚妄人藐視智慧和訓誨。
[the] fear of Yahweh [is the] beginning of knowledge wisdom and discipline fools they despise.
8 我兒，要聽你父親的訓誨， 不可離棄你母親的法則；
Listen to O son my [the] correction of father your and may not you reject [the] instruction of mother your.
9 因為這要作你頭上的華冠， 你項上的金鍊。
For - [will be] a wreath of favor they for head your and necklaces for neck your.
10 我兒，惡人若引誘你， 你不可隨從。
O son my if they will entice you sinners may not you be willing.
11 他們若說：你與我們同去， 我們要埋伏流人之血， 要蹲伏害無罪之人；
If they will say come! with us let us lie in wait for blood let us lie hidden for an innocent [one] without cause.
Let us engulf them like Sheol alive and complete like [those who] go down of [the] pit. (Sheol h7585)
13 我們必得各樣寶物， 將所擄來的，裝滿房屋；
All wealth prized we will find we will fill houses our plunder.
14 你與我們大家同分， 我們共用一個囊袋；
Lot your you will cast in midst of us a bag one it will belong to all of us.
15 我兒，不要與他們同行一道， 禁止你腳走他們的路。
O son my may not you walk in [the] way with them restrain foot your from pathway their.
16 因為，他們的腳奔跑行惡； 他們急速流人的血，
For feet their to evil they run and they may make haste to shed blood.
17 好像飛鳥， 網羅設在眼前仍不躲避。
For in vain [is] spread out the net in [the] eyes of every owner of a wing.
18 這些人埋伏，是為自流己血； 蹲伏，是為自害己命。
And they for own blood their they lie in wait they lie hidden for own life their.
19 凡貪戀財利的，所行之路都是如此； 這貪戀之心乃奪去得財者之命。
[are] thus [the] paths of Every [one who] gains unjustly unjust gain [the] life of owners its it will take.
20 智慧在街市上呼喊， 在寬闊處發聲，
Wisdom in the street it cries aloud in the open places she gives voice her.
21 在熱鬧街頭喊叫， 在城門口，在城中發出言語，
At [the] top of noisy [places] she calls out at [the] entrances of [the] gates in the city sayings her she utters.
22 說：你們愚昧人喜愛愚昧， 褻慢人喜歡褻慢， 愚頑人恨惡知識，要到幾時呢？
Until when? - O naive people will you love naivete and mockers mockery do they delight in? themselves and fools will they hate? knowledge.
23 你們當因我的責備回轉； 我要將我的靈澆灌你們， 將我的話指示你們。
You will turn back to rebuke my here! I will pour out to you spirit my let me declare words my you.
24 我呼喚，你們不肯聽從； 我伸手，無人理會；
Because I called and you refused I offered hand my and there not [was] an attentive [one].
25 反輕棄我一切的勸戒， 不肯受我的責備。
And you ignored all advice my and rebuke my not you yielded to.
26 你們遭災難，我就發笑； 驚恐臨到你們，我必嗤笑。
Also I at calamity your I will laugh I will mock when comes dread your.
27 驚恐臨到你們，好像狂風； 災難來到，如同暴風； 急難痛苦臨到你們身上。
When comes (like devastation *Q(K)*) dread your and calamity your like a storm-wind it will arrive when comes on you trouble and distress.
28 那時，你們必呼求我，我卻不答應， 懇切地尋找我，卻尋不見。
Then they will call to me and not I will answer they will earnestly seek me and not they will find me.
29 因為，你們恨惡知識， 不喜愛敬畏耶和華，
Because for they hated knowledge and [the] fear of Yahweh not they chose.
30 不聽我的勸戒， 藐視我一切的責備，
Not they yielded to advice my they spurned all rebuke my.
31 所以必吃自結的果子， 充滿自設的計謀。
So they may eat from [the] fruit of way their and from own schemes their they will be surfeited.
32 愚昧人背道，必殺己身； 愚頑人安逸，必害己命。
For [the] waywardness of naive people it will ruin them and [the] ease of fools it will destroy them.
33 惟有聽從我的，必安然居住， 得享安靜，不怕災禍。
And [one who] listens to me he will dwell security and he will be at ease from dread of trouble.
