Proverbs 1 1 Wisdom has built her house, she has set up her seven columns; 智慧建造了房舍，雕琢了七根石柱， 2 She has dressed her meat, mixed her wine, yes, she has spread her table. 宰杀了牲畜，配制了美酒，铺设了饭桌， 3 2 She has sent out her maidens; she calls from the heights out over the city: 派出自己的使女，在城市高处吶喊：＂ 4 ＂Let whoever is simple turn in here; to him who lacks understanding, I say, 谁是无知的，请转身到这里来！＂她对愚钝的人说： 5 Come, eat of my food, and drink of the wine I have mixed! ＂你们来，吃我的食粮，饮我配制的酒！ 6 Forsake foolishness that you may live; advance in the way of understanding. 你们应放弃无知，好使你们得以生存，并在明智的道路上迈进。＂ 7 He who corrects an arrogant man earns insult; and he who reproves a wicked man incurs opprobrium. 8 Reprove not an arrogant man, lest he hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. 你不要责斥轻狂的人，免得他恨你；却要责斥明智的人，他必会爱你。 9 Instruct a wise man, and he becomes still wiser; teach a just man, and he advances in learning. 你若指教明智的人，他必更明智；你若教训正义的人，他必更有见识。 10 The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the LORD, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 敬畏上主是智慧的肇基；认识至圣者就是睿智。 11 For by me your days will be multiplied and the years of your life increased.＂ 12 If you are wise, it is to your own advantage; and if you are arrogant, you alone shall bear it. 你若有智慧，你必蒙受其惠；你若是轻狂也只有自食其果。 13 The woman Folly is fickle, she is inane, and knows nothing. 愚昧太太，浮燥愚蠢，一无所知。 14 She sits at the door of her house upon a seat on the city heights, 她坐在自家门前，坐在城内高处的座位上， 15 Calling to passers-by as they go on their straight way: 向一往直前的路人喊说：＂ 16 ＂Let whoever is simple turn in here, or who lacks understanding; for to him I say, 谁是无知的，请转身到这里来！＂她向愚钝的人说：＂ 17 3 Stolen water is sweet, and bread gotten secretly is pleasing!＂ 偷来的水，更香甜；背地吃的饼更有味。＂ 18 4 Little he knows that the shades are there, that in the depths of the nether world are her guests! 他却不知冥域正在那里，她的客人都在阴府的深处。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [1-6,13-18] Wisdom and folly are represented as matrons, each inviting people to her banquet. Wisdom offers the food and drink of divine doctrine and virtue which give life (Proverb 9:1-6). Unstable and senseless folly furnishes the stolen bread and water of deceit and vice which bring death to her guests. 2 [3] She calls: i.e., indirectly, through her maidens; but the text could also mean that wisdom herself publicly proclaims her invitation. 3 [17] The secrecy implies wrongdoing. 4 [18] The banquet chamber of folly is a tomb from which no one who enters it is released. |
