箴言 Proverbs

2:1	[hgb]	我儿，你若领受我的言语，存记我的命令，
	[bbe]	My son, if you will take my words to your heart, storing up my laws in your mind;
2:2	[hgb]	侧耳听智慧，专心求聪明。
	[bbe]	So that your ear gives attention to wisdom, and your heart is turned to knowledge;
2:3	[hgb]	呼求明哲，扬声求聪明，
	[bbe]	Truly, if you are crying out for good sense, and your request is for knowledge;
2:4	[hgb]	寻找他如寻找银子，搜求他如搜求隐藏的珍宝，
	[bbe]	If you are looking for her as for silver, and searching for her as for stored-up wealth;
2:5	[hgb]	你就明白敬畏耶和华，得以认识神。
	[bbe]	Then the fear of the Lord will be clear to you, and knowledge of God will be yours.
2:6	[hgb]	因为耶和华赐人智慧。知识和聪明，都由他口而出。
	[bbe]	For the Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth come knowledge and reason:
2:7	[hgb]	他给正直人存留真智慧，给行为纯正的人作盾牌。
	[bbe]	He has salvation stored up for the upright, he is a breastplate to those in whom there is no evil;
2:8	[hgb]	为要保守公平人的路，护庇虔敬人的道。
	[bbe]	He keeps watch on the ways which are right, and takes care of those who have the fear of him.
2:9	[hgb]	你也必明白仁义，公平，正直，一切的善道。
	[bbe]	Then you will have knowledge of righteousness and right acting, and upright behaviour, even of every good way.
2:10	[hgb]	智慧必入你心。你的灵要以知识为美。
	[bbe]	For wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasing to your soul;
2:11	[hgb]	谋略必护卫你。聪明必保守你。
	[bbe]	Wise purposes will be watching over you, and knowledge will keep you;
2:12	[hgb]	要救你脱离恶道，（恶道或作恶人的道）脱离说乖谬话的人。
	[bbe]	Giving you salvation from the evil man, from those whose words are false;
2:13	[hgb]	那等人舍弃正直的路，行走黑暗的道，
	[bbe]	Who give up the way of righteousness, to go by dark roads;
2:14	[hgb]	欢喜作恶，喜爱恶人的乖僻。
	[bbe]	Who take pleasure in wrongdoing, and have joy in the evil designs of the sinner;
2:15	[hgb]	在他们的道中弯曲，在他们的路上偏僻。
	[bbe]	Whose ways are not straight, and whose footsteps are turned to evil:
2:16	[hgb]	智慧要救你脱离淫妇，就是那油嘴滑舌的外女。
	[bbe]	To take you out of the power of the strange woman, who says smooth words with her tongue;
2:17	[hgb]	她离弃幼年的配偶，忘了神的盟约。
	[bbe]	Who is false to the husband of her early years, and does not keep the agreement of her God in mind:
2:18	[hgb]	她的家陷入死地，她的路偏向阴间。
	[bbe]	For her house is on the way down to death; her footsteps go down to the shades:
2:19	[hgb]	凡到她那里去的不得转回，也得不着生命的路。
	[bbe]	Those who go to her do not come back again; their feet do not keep in the ways of life:
2:20	[hgb]	智慧必使你行善人的道，守义人的路。
	[bbe]	So that you may go in the way of good men, and keep in the footsteps of the upright.
2:21	[hgb]	正直人必在世上居住。完全人必在地上存留。
	[bbe]	For the upright will be living in the land, and the good will have it for their heritage.
2:22	[hgb]	惟有恶人必然剪除。奸诈的必然拔出。
	[bbe]	But sinners will be cut off from the land, and those whose acts are false will be uprooted.
