简体中文
1 众子啊,要听父亲的教训,留心得知聪明。
2 因我所给你们的,是好教训。不可离弃我的法则。(或作指教)
3 我在父亲面前为孝子,在母亲眼中为独一的娇儿。
4 父亲教训我说,你心要存记我的言语,遵守我的命令,便得存活。
5 要得智慧,要得聪明。不可忘记,也不可偏离我口中的言语。
6 不可离弃智慧,智慧就护卫你。要爱他,他就保守你。
7 智慧为首。所以要得智慧。在你一切所得之内,必得聪明。(或作用你一切所得的去换聪明)
8 高举智慧,他就使你高升。怀抱智慧,他就使你尊荣。
9 他必将华冠加在你头上,把荣冕交给你。
10 我儿,你要听受我的言语,就必延年益寿。
11 我已指教你走智慧的道,引导你行正直的路。
12 你行走,脚步必不致狭窄。你奔跑,也不致跌倒。
13 要持定训诲,不可放松。必当谨守,因为他是你的生命。
14 不可行恶人的路。不要走坏人的道。
15 要躲避,不可经过。要转身而去。
16 这等人若不行恶,不得睡觉。不使人跌倒,睡卧不安。
17 因为他们以奸恶吃饼,以强暴喝酒。
18 但义人的路,好像黎明的光,越照越明,直到日午。
19 恶人的道好像幽暗。自己不知因什么跌倒。
20 我儿,要留心听我的言词,侧耳听我的话语。
21 都不可离你的眼目。要存记在你心中。
22 因为得着他的,就得了生命,又得了医全体的良药。
23 你要保守你心,胜过保守一切。(或作你要切切保守你心)因为一生的果效,是由心发出。
24 你要除掉邪僻的口,弃绝乖谬的嘴。
25 你的眼目,要向前正看,你的眼睛,(原文作皮)当向前直观。
26 要修平你脚下的路,坚定你一切的道。
27 不可偏向左右。要使你的脚离开邪恶。
King James Version
Chapter 4
4:1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
4:2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
4:3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4:4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
4:6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
4:8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
4:9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
4:10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
4:11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
4:12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
4:13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
4:14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
4:15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
4:16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
4:19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
4:21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
4:22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
4:24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
4:25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
4:26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
4:27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
