父親的教誨

1 孩子們啊，你們要聽從父親的教誨，留心學習，以便領悟， 2 因為我給你們的訓誨是美好的，不可背棄我的教導。 3 我年幼時在父親身邊，是母親唯一的寵兒。 4 父親教導我說：「要牢記我的話，遵守我的誡命，就必存活。 5 你要尋求智慧和悟性，不要忘記或違背我的吩咐。 6 不可離棄智慧，智慧必護佑你；你要熱愛智慧，智慧必看顧你。 7 智慧至上，要尋求智慧，要不惜一切，求得悟性。 8 高舉智慧，她必使你受尊崇；擁抱智慧，她必使你得尊榮。 9 她必為你戴上華冠，加上榮冕。」 10 孩子啊，你要聽從我的教導，就必延年益壽。 11 我已經指示你走智慧之道，引導你行正確的路。 12 你行走，必不受妨礙；你奔跑，絕不會跌倒。 13 你要持守教誨，不要鬆懈；要守護好，因為那是你的生命。 14 不要涉足惡人的道，不要行走壞人的路； 15 要避開，不可踏足，要繞道而行。 16 因為他們不作惡就無法入睡，不絆倒人就無法安眠； 17 他們吃的是邪惡餅，喝的是殘暴酒。 18 義人的道路好像黎明的曙光，越照越亮，直到大放光明。 19 惡人的道路一片幽暗，他們不知被何物絆倒。 20 孩子啊，你要聆聽我的吩咐，側耳聽我的訓言； 21 不要讓它們離開你的視線，要牢記在心。 22 因為得到它們就得到生命，全身也必康健。 23 要一絲不苟地守護你的心，因為生命之泉從心中湧出。 24 不講欺詐之言，不說荒謬的話。 25 眼睛要正視前方，雙目要向前直看。 26 要鋪平腳下的路，使所行之道穩妥。 27 不可偏右偏左，要遠離惡事。

A Father’s Wise Instruction

1 Hear, O sons, a father’s instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain* insight, 2 for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching. 3 When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in the sight of my mother, 4 he taught me and said to me, “Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live. 5 Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. 6 Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. 7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight. 8 Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. 9 She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.” 10 Hear, my son, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many. 11 I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness. 12 When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble. 13 Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your life. 14 Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of the evil. 15 Avoid it; do not go on it; turn away from it and pass on. 16 For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong; they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble. 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. 18 But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. 19 The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble. 20 My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their* flesh. 23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. 24 Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you. 25 Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. 26 Ponder* the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. 27 Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.
