【箴言篇】第九章 << 上一章下一章 >>

9:1 智慧建造了房舍，雕琢了七根石柱，
Wisdom has built her house, she has set up her seven columns;

9:2 宰杀了牲畜，配制了美酒，铺设了饭桌，
She has dressed her meat, mixed her wine, yes, she has spread her table.

9:3 派出自己的使女，在城市高处吶喊：「
She has sent out her maidens; she calls from the heights out over the city:

9:4 谁是无知的，请转身到这里来!」她对愚钝的人说：
"Let whoever is simple turn in here; to him who lacks understanding, I say,

9:5 「你们来，吃我的食粮，饮我配制的酒!
Come, eat of my food, and drink of the wine I have mixed!

9:6 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。」
Forsake foolishness that you may live; advance in the way of understanding.

9:7 谁矫正轻狂的人，只有自招羞辱；谁责斥邪恶的人，只有自找凌辱。
He who corrects an arrogant man earns insult; and he who reproves a wicked man incurs opprobrium.

9:8 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。
Reprove not an arrogant man, lest he hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.

9:9 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。
Instruct a wise man, and he becomes still wiser; teach a just man, and he advances in learning.

9:10 敬畏上主是智慧的肇基；认识至圣者就是睿智。
The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the LORD, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

9:11 借着我，你的岁月才可增多，你的寿命才可延长。
For by me your days will be multiplied and the years of your life increased."

9:12 你若有智慧，你必蒙受其惠；你若是轻狂也只有自食其果。
If you are wise, it is to your own advantage; and if you are arrogant, you alone shall bear it.

9:13 愚昧太太，浮燥愚蠢，一无所知。
The woman Folly is fickle, she is inane, and knows nothing.

9:14 她坐在自家门前，坐在城内高处的座位上，
She sits at the door of her house upon a seat on the city heights,

9:15 向一往直前的路人喊说：「
Calling to passers-by as they go on their straight way:

9:16 谁是无知的，请转身到这里来!」她向愚钝的人说：「
"Let whoever is simple turn in here, or who lacks understanding; for to him I say,

9:17 偷来的水，更香甜；背地吃的饼更有味。」
Stolen water is sweet, and bread gotten secretly is pleasing!"

9:18 他却不知冥域正在那里，她的客人都在阴府的深处。
Little he knows that the shades are there, that in the depths of the nether world are her guests!
