32:1

እስመ፡ ናሁ፡ ንጉሥ፡ ጻድቅ፡ ይነግሥ፡ ወመላእክትኒ፡ በጽድቅ፡ ይኴንኑ።

Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.

看哪，必有一王憑公義行政；必有首領藉公平掌權。

32:2

ወየኀብእ፡ ሰብእ፡ ቃሎ፡ ወይትኀባእ፡ ከመ፡ ዘይሠጠም፡ ውስተ፡ ቀላይ፤ ወያስተርኢ፡ በጽዮን፡ ከመ፡ ፈለግ፡ ዘይውኅዝ፡ ክብሩ፡ በምድር፡ ጽምእት።

A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.

必有一人像避風所和避暴雨的隱密處，又像河流在乾旱之地，像大磐石的影子在疲乏之地。

32:3

ወኢይትዌከሉ፡ እንከ፡ በእጓለ፡ እመሕያው፡ ዳእሙ፡ ያጸምዑ፡ በእዝኖሙ።

The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen.

那能看的人，眼不再昏迷；能聽的人，耳必得聽聞。

32:4

ወልብ፡ ድኩም፡ ይሰምዕ፡ አእምሮ፤ ወልሳንኒ፡ ጸያፍ፡ ፍጡነ፡ ይትሜሀር፡ ነገረ፡ ሰላም።

The heart of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.

冒失人的心必明白知識；結吧人的舌必說話通快。

32:5

ወኢያጽሕብዎ፡ እንከ፡ ለአብድ፡ ከመ፡ ይኩን፡ መልአከ፣፡ ወኢይብለከ፡ እንከ፡ ወዓሊከ፤ አርምም።

The fool will no longer be called noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected.

愚頑人不再稱為高明；吝嗇人不再稱為大方。

32:6

እስመ፡ አብድሰ፡ እበደ፡ ይነብብ፡ ወልቡኒ፡ ከንቶ፡ ይሔሊ፡ ከመ፡ ይግበር፡ ዓመፃ፡ ወከመ፡ ይንብብ፡ ኃጢአተ፡ በኀበ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ከመ፡ ይዝሩ፡ ነፍሰ፡ ርኅብተ፡ ወከመ፡ ያዕርቅ፡ ነፍሰ፡ ጽምእተ።

For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against Yahweh, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

因為愚頑人必說愚頑話，心裏想作罪孽，慣行褻瀆的事，說錯謬的話攻擊耶和華，使飢餓的人無食可吃，使口渴的人無水可喝。

32:7

እስመ፡ ሕሊናሆሙ፡ ለእኩያን፡ ዓመፃ፡ ትመክር፡ ከመ፡ ይቅትልዎ፡ ለነዳይ፡ በነገረ፡ ዓመፃሆሙ፡ ወከመ፡ ይገፍትዑ፡ ፍትሐ፡ ምስኪናን።

The ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked plans to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.

吝嗇人所用的法子是惡的；他圖謀惡計，用謊言毀滅謙卑人；窮乏人講公理的時候，他也是這樣行。

32:8

ጻድቃንሰ፡ ጥበበ፡ ይመክሩ፡ ወትነብር፡ ይእቲ፡ ምክር።

But the noble devises noble things, and he will continue in noble things.

高明人卻謀高明事，在高明事上也必永存。

32:9

አንስት፡ ብዑላት፡ ተንሥኣ፡ ወስምዓ፡ ቃልየ፤ አዋልድ፡ ምእመናት፡ አጽምዓኒ፡ ነገርየ።

Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice! You careless daughters, give ear to my speech!

安逸的婦女啊，起來聽我的聲音！無慮的女子啊，側耳聽我的言語！
