舊約 -- 箴言(Proverbs) -- 第9章
9:1 智慧建造房屋,鑿成七根柱子,Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
9:2 宰殺牲畜,調(diào)和旨酒,設(shè)擺筵席。
She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
9:3 打發(fā)使女出去,自己在城中至高處呼叫,She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
9:4 說,誰是愚蒙人,可以轉(zhuǎn)到這里來。又對那無知的人說,Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
9:5 你們來,吃我的餅,喝我調(diào)和的酒。
Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
9:6 你們愚蒙人,要舍棄愚蒙,就得存活。并要走光明的道。
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
9:7 指斥褻慢人的,必受辱罵。責(zé)備惡人的,必被玷污。
He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
9:8 不要責(zé)備褻慢人,恐怕他恨你。要責(zé)備智慧人,他必愛你。
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9:9 教導(dǎo)智慧人,他就越發(fā)有智慧。指示義人,他就增長學(xué)問。
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
9:10 敬畏耶和華,是智慧的開端。認(rèn)識至圣者,便是聰明。
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
9:11 你藉著我,日子必增多,年歲也必加添。
For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
9:12 你若有智慧,是與自己有益。你若褻慢,就必獨(dú)自擔(dān)當(dāng)。
If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
9:13 愚昧的婦人喧囔。他是愚蒙,一無所知。
A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
9:14 他坐在自己的家門口,坐在城中高處的座位上,F(xiàn)or she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
9:15 呼叫過路的,就是直行其道的人,To call passengers who go right on their ways:
9:16 說,誰是愚蒙人,可以轉(zhuǎn)到這里來。又對那無知的人說,Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
9:17 偷來的水是甜的,暗吃的餅是好的。
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
9:18 人卻不知有陰魂在他那里。他的客在陰間的深處。
But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
