| 箴言-Proverbs 第 31 章 |
| 31:1 | 利慕伊勒王的言语，是他母亲教训他的谕言： The words of King Lemuel. The oracle which his mother taught him. |
| 31:2 | 我儿阿，我腹中生的儿阿，我许愿所得的儿阿！我当说什么呢？ What, my son? and what, O son of my womb? And what, O son of my vows? |
| 31:3 | 不要将你的精力给妇女，也不要有那使君王毁灭的行径。 Do not give your strength to women, Nor your ways to that which destroys kings. |
| 31:4 | 利慕伊勒阿，君王不可喝淡酒，绝对不可；首领也不可说，浓酒在那里？ It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; Nor for princes to say, Where is strong drink? |
| 31:5 | 恐怕喝了就忘记所立的律例，颠倒一切困苦人的公理。 Lest they drink and forget what is decreed, And pervert the rights of all the afflicted. |
| 31:6 | 可以把浓酒给将亡的人喝，把淡酒给魂里愁苦的人喝， Give strong drink rather to one who is perishing, And wine to the bitter in soul; |
| 31:7 | 让他喝了就忘记他的贫穷，不再记念他的苦恼。 Let him drink and forget his poverty, And remember his misery no more. |
| 31:8 | 你当为哑吧开口，为一切将过去的人伸冤。 Open your mouth for the dumb, And for the rights of all those who are passing away. |
| 31:9 | 你当开口按公义审判，为困苦和穷乏人秉持公理。 Open your mouth; judge righteously, And minister justice to the poor and needy. |
| 31:10 | 才德的妇人谁能得着呢？她的价值远胜过珠宝。 Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above jewels. |
| 31:11 | 她丈夫心里倚靠她，必不缺少利益。 The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain. |
| 31:12 | 她一生的日子使丈夫有益无损。 She does him good and not evil All the days of her life. |
| 31:13 | 她寻找羊毛和麻，乐意亲手作工。 She seeks wool and flax, And delights to work with her hands. |
| 31:14 | 她好像商船从远方运粮来， She is like the merchant ships; She brings her food from afar. |
| 31:15 | 天还黑她就起来，把食物分给家中的人，将当作的工分派婢女。 She rises also while it is still night And gives food to her household, And their task to her serving girls. |
| 31:16 | 她想得田地就买来；用手所得的成果，栽种葡萄园。 She considers a field and buys it; With the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. |
| 31:17 | 她以能力束腰，使膀臂有力。 She girds her loins with strength And makes strong her arms. |
| 31:18 | 她检试自作的商品，确定都是好的；她的灯终夜不灭。 She samples her merchandise to be sure it is good; Her lamp does not go out by night. |
| 31:19 | 她手拿捻线竿，手握纺线锤。 She lays her hands to the distaff, And her hands hold on to the spindle. |
| 31:20 | 她张手赒济困苦人，伸手帮补穷乏人。 She stretches out her hand to the afflicted, And she reaches out her hands to the needy. |
| 31:21 | 她不因下雪为家里的人担心，因为全家都穿着朱红衣服。 She does not fear for her household when it snows, For all her household are clothed with scarlet. |
| 31:22 | 她为自己制作毯子；她的衣服是细麻和紫色布作的。 She makes coverings for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple. |
| 31:23 | 她丈夫在城门口与本地的长老同坐，为众人所认识。 Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land. |
| 31:24 | 她作细麻布衣裳出卖，又将腰带供给商家。 She makes linen garments and sells them And delivers girdles to the merchant. |
| 31:25 | 能力和威仪是她的衣服，她想到日后的景况就喜笑。 Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she happily looks forward to the time to come. |
| 31:26 | 她开口就发智慧，她舌上有慈爱的法则。 She opens her mouth with wisdom, And the law of kindness is on her tongue. |
| 31:27 | 她观察家务，并不吃闲饭。 She watches closely over the ways of her household And does not eat the bread of idleness. |
| 31:28 | 她的儿女起来称她有福；她的丈夫也称赞她，说， Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying: |
| 31:29 | 行事有才德的女子很多，惟独你超过众人。 Many daughters have done worthily, But you surpass them all. |
| 31:30 | 艳丽是虚假的，美容是虚浮的；惟敬畏耶和华的妇女，必得称赞。 Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; But a woman who fears Jehovah, she will be praised. |
| 31:31 | 愿她得着亲手操劳的果效，愿她的工作使她在城门口得称赞。 Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates. |
