箴言-Proverbs 第 3 章

3:1我儿,不要忘记我的指教,你心要谨守我的诫命;
My son, do not forget my instruction, But let your heart keep my commandments;
3:2因为它必将长久的日子、生命的年数与平安,加给你。
For length of days and years of life And peace will they add to you.
3:3不可使慈爱、真实离弃你:要系在你颈项上,写在你心版上。
Do not let lovingkindness and truth forsake you: Bind them around your neck; Write them upon the tablet of your heart.
3:4这样,你必在神和人眼前蒙恩宠,有美好的悟性。
Thus you will find favor and a reputation for fine understanding In the sight of God and man.
3:5你要全心信靠耶和华,不可倚靠自己的聪明;
Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, And do not rely on your own understanding;
3:6在你一切的道路上,都要认定祂,祂必修直你的途径。
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
3:7不要自以为有智慧;要敬畏耶和华,远离恶事。
Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil.
3:8这便医治你的身体,滋润你的骨头。
It will be healing to your body And refreshment to your bones.
3:9你要以财物,和一切初熟的出产,尊荣耶和华。
Honor Jehovah with your substance And with the firstfruits of all your produce;
3:10这样,你的仓房必充满有余,你的酒榨必盈溢新酒。
Then your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will burst open with new wine.
3:11我儿,你不可轻看耶和华的惩治,也不可厌烦祂的管教;
My son, do not despise the chastening of Jehovah, Nor be weary of His discipline;
3:12因为耶和华所爱的,祂必管教,正如父亲管教所喜爱的儿子。
For whom Jehovah loves He disciplines, Even as a father, the son in whom he delights.
3:13寻得智慧,得着聪明的,这人便为有福。
Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding.
3:14因为赚得智慧胜过赚得银子,其收益强于金子。
For her profit is better than the profit of silver, And her income is better than gold.
3:15智慧比珊瑚更宝贵,你一切所喜爱的,都不足与她比较。
She is more precious than corals, And nothing you desire compare with her.
3:16她右手有长寿,左手有财富与尊荣。
Length of days is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor.
3:17她的道路是安乐的道路;她的路径全是平安。
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.
3:18对持守她的人,她是生命树;持定她的是有福的。
She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her, And happy are those who hold her fast.
3:19耶和华以智慧立大地,以聪明定诸天;
Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth; He established the heavens by understanding;
3:20以知识使深渊裂开,使天空滴下甘露。
By His knowledge the depths were broken open And the skies drop down the dew.
3:21我儿,要谨守真智慧和谋略,不可使这些离开你的眼目。
My son, do not let these depart from your sight: Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
3:22这些必作你魂的生命,作你颈项的美饰。
And they will be life for your soul And a graceful ornament for your neck.
3:23你必安然行路,你的脚必不至绊跌。
Then you will walk on your way securely, And your foot will not stumble.
3:24你躺下,必不惧怕;你躺卧,必睡得香甜。
When you lie down, you will not be afraid; But you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
3:25忽然来的惊恐,你不要害怕;恶人的毁灭临到,你也不要恐惧。
Do not be afraid of sudden fear, Nor of the destruction of the wicked when it comes;
3:26因为耶和华是你所信靠的,祂必保守你的脚不被缠住。
For Jehovah will be your confidence, And He will keep your foot from being caught.
3:27你手若有行善的力量,就不可推辞,当向那应得的人施行。
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so.
3:28你那里若有现成的,不可对邻舍说,去罢,明天再来,我必给你。
Do not say to your neighbor, Go, and come back; And tomorrow I will give it-when you have it with you.
3:29你的邻舍既在你附近安居,你不可设计害他。
Do not devise harm against your neighbor, While he lives securely beside you.
3:30人未曾加害于你,你不可无故与他相争。
Do not strive with a man without cause, If he has done you no harm.
3:31不可嫉妒强暴的人,也不可选择他所行一切的路。
Do not envy a man of violence, And do not choose any of his ways;
3:32因为乖僻人为耶和华所憎恶;祂亲密的指教与正直人同在。
For the perverse man is an abomination to Jehovah, But His intimate counsel is with the upright.
3:33耶和华咒诅恶人的家庭,赐福与义人的居所。
The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked man, But He blesses the dwelling place of the righteous.
3:34祂讥诮那好讥诮的人,赐恩给谦卑的人。
To scorners He is scornful, But to the humble He gives grace.
3:35智慧人必承受尊荣,愚昧人必加添自己的羞辱。
The wise will inherit honor, But fools increase their own disgrace.
