Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

1:1

παροιμίαι Σαλωμῶντος υἱοῦ Δαυιδ ὃς ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ισραηλ

The proverbs of Solomon son of David, who reigned in Israel.

大衛的兒子所羅門的箴言，他曾在以色列作王。

1:2

γνῶναι σοφίαν καὶ παιδείαν νοῆσαί τε λόγους φρονήσεως

To know wisdom and instruction, and to understand words of prudence,

為要認識智慧與訓誨，明白明辨的言語，

1:3

δέξασθαί τε στροφὰς λόγων νοῆσαί τε δικαιοσύνην ἀληθῆ καὶ κρίμα κατευθύνειν

And to receive the turnings of words, to understand true righteousness, and to direct judgment aright,

也要領受言語的曲折，明白真實的公義，並使判斷正直，

1:4

ἵνα δῷ ἀκάκοις πανουργίαν παιδὶ δὲ νέῳ αἴσθησίν τε καὶ ἔννοιαν

That it may give shrewdness to the innocent, and to the young child perception and reflection.

好使天真的人得著機敏，使年幼的孩子得著知覺與思慮。

1:5

τῶνδε γὰρ ἀκούσας σοφὸς σοφώτερος ἔσται ὁ δὲ νοήμων κυβέρνησιν κτήσεται

For the wise, when he hears these things, will be wiser, and the intelligent will acquire guidance.

智慧人聽見這些，就必更有智慧；明達的人必得著掌舵之能。

1:6

νοήσει τε παραβολὴν καὶ σκοτεινὸν λόγον ῥήσεις τε σοφῶν καὶ αἰνίγματα

He will also understand a parable and a dark saying, the sayings of the wise and riddles.

他也必明白比喻和幽暗的話，明白智慧人的言語和謎語。

1:7

ἀρχὴ σοφίας φόβος θεοῦ σύνεσις δὲ ἀγαθὴ πᾶσι τοῖς ποιοῦσιν αὐτήν εὐσέβεια δὲ εἰς θεὸν ἀρχὴ αἰσθήσεως σοφίαν δὲ καὶ παιδείαν ἀσεβεῖς ἐξουθενήσουσιν

The beginning of wisdom is the fear of God, and good understanding belongs to all who practice it; piety toward God is the beginning of perception, but the ungodly will despise wisdom and instruction.

智慧的開端是敬畏神；凡遵行的人都有美好的悟性；敬虔歸向神是知覺的開端；不敬虔的人卻藐視智慧與訓誨。

1:8

ἄκουε υἱέ παιδείαν πατρός σου καὶ μὴ ἀπώσῃ θεσμοὺς μητρός σου

Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and do not reject your mother's ordinances;

我兒，要聽你父親的訓誨，不可棄絕你母親的規條；

1:9

στέφανον γὰρ χαρίτων δέξῃ σῇ κορυφῇ καὶ κλοιὸν χρύσεον περὶ σῷ τραχήλῳ

For you will receive a crown of graces for your head, and a golden collar about your neck.

因為你必為你的頭得著恩惠的華冠，為你的頸項得著金的項圈。
