箴言-Proverbs 2

2:1　My son, if you receive my words And treasure up my commandments within you,
我儿，你若领受我的言语，将我的诫命珍藏在你里面，
2:2　Making your ear attentive to wisdom And inclining your heart to understanding;
侧耳听智慧，倾心求聪明；
2:3　Indeed, if you cry out for discernment And lift up your voice for understanding;
你若呼求明哲，扬声求聪明，
2:4　If you seek her like silver And search for her like hidden treasures,
寻找她，如寻找银子，搜求她，如搜求隐藏的珍宝，
2:5　Then you will understand the fear of Jehovah And find the knowledge of God.
你就明白如何敬畏耶和华，得以认识神。
2:6　For Jehovah gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
因为耶和华赐人智慧；知识和聪明都由祂口而出；
2:7　He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
祂给正直人积存真智慧，给行为纯全的人作盾牌，
2:8　Guarding the paths of justice And keeping the way of His faithful ones.
保守公平的途径，护庇虔诚人的道路。
2:9　Then you will understand righteousness and justice And equity, indeed, every good path.
你就必明白公义、公平、公正，和一切善美的途径。
2:10　For wisdom will enter your heart, And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
智慧必进入你心，你魂必喜悦知识；
2:11　Discretion will watch over you; Understanding will keep you:
谋略必护卫你；聪明必保守你：
2:12　To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things,
救你脱离邪恶的道路，脱离说乖谬话的人。
2:13　From those who forsake the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness,
那等人舍弃正直的途径，行走黑暗的道路，
2:14　Who rejoice in doing evil And delight in the perverseness of evil,
喜悦作恶，欢喜恶人的乖僻，
2:15　Whose paths are crooked, And who are devious in their ways;
他们的途径弯曲，他们的道路偏岔。
2:16　To deliver you from the strange woman, From the adulteress who flatters with her words,
智慧要救你脱离淫妇，就是那油嘴滑舌的外女；
2:17　Who forsakes the companion of her youth And forgets the covenant of her God;
她离弃少年的同伴，忘了神的盟约；
2:18　For her house sinks down to death, And her paths lead to the dead;
她的家陷入死亡，她的路引向阴间。
2:19　None who go to her ever return, Nor do they attain to the paths of life;
凡到她那里去的，不得转回，也得不着生命的途径。
2:20　That you may walk in the way of good men And keep the paths of the righteous;
智慧必使你行善人的道路，守义人的途径。
2:21　For the upright will dwell in the land, And the perfect will remain in it;
因为正直人必在地上居住；完全人必在其上存留。
2:22　But the wicked will be cut off from the land, And the treacherous will be uprooted from it.
惟有恶人必从地上剪除，奸诈的必从其上拔出。
