24:1
ἡ σοφία αἰνέσει ψυχὴν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐν μέσῳ λαοῦ αὐτῆς καυχήσεται
Wisdom will praise herself, And will glory in the midst of her people.
智慧要稱讚自己，在她百姓中間誇耀。
24:2
ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ ὑψίστου στόμα αὐτῆς ἀνοίξει καὶ ἔναντι δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ καυχήσεται
In the congregation of the Most High will she open her mouth, And glory in the presence of his power.
她要在至高者的會眾中開口，在他大能面前誇耀，說：
24:3
ἐγὼ ἀπὸ στόματος ὑψίστου ἐξῆλθον καὶ ὡς ὁμίχλη κατεκάλυψα γῆν
I came forth from the mouth of the Most High, And covered the earth as a mist.
我從至高者口中而出，如雲霧遮蓋大地。
24:4
ἐγὼ ἐν ὑψηλοῖς κατεσκήνωσα καὶ ὁ θρόνος μου ἐν στύλῳ νεφέλης
I lived in high places, And my throne is in the pillar of the cloud.
我住在高處，我的寶座在雲柱之中。
24:5
γῦρον οὐρανοῦ ἐκύκλωσα μόνη καὶ ἐν βάθει ἀβύσσων περιεπάτησα
Alone I compassed the circuit of heaven, And walked in the depth of the abyss.
我獨自環繞天的穹蒼，行走在深淵的深處。
24:6
ἐν κύμασιν θαλάσσης καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ καὶ ἐν παντὶ λαῷ καὶ ἔθνει ἐκτησάμην
In the waves of the sea, and in all the earth, And in every people and nation, I got a possession.
在海浪之中、遍地之上、在各民各國之中，我都得了產業。
24:7
μετὰ τούτων πάντων ἀνάπαυσιν ἐζήτησα καὶ ἐν κληρονομίᾳ τίνος αὐλισθήσομαι
With all these I sought rest; And in whose inheritance shall I lodge?
在這一切之中，我尋求安息，要在誰的基業中棲身呢？
24:8
τότε ἐνετείλατό μοι ὁ κτίστης ἁπάντων καὶ ὁ κτίσας με κατέπαυσεν τὴν σκηνήν μου καὶ εἶπεν ἐν Ιακωβ κατασκήνωσον καὶ ἐν Ισραηλ κατακληρονομήθητι
Then the Creator of all things gave me a commandment; And he that created me made my tabernacle to rest, And said, Let your tabernacle be in Jacob, And your inheritance in Israel.
那時，創造萬有的主吩咐我，造我的主使我的帳幕安歇，說：『你要在雅各中支搭帳幕，在以色列中得基業。』
24:9
πρὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς ἔκτισέν με καὶ ἕως αἰῶνος οὐ μὴ ἐκλίπω
He created me from the beginning before the world; And to the end I will not fail.
他在萬世以先，從太初就造了我，直到永遠，我也必不消逝。
24:10
ἐν σκηνῇ ἁγίᾳ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἐλειτούργησα καὶ οὕτως ἐν Σιων ἐστηρίχθην
In the holy tabernacle I ministered before him; And so was I established in Sion.
我在聖潔的帳幕中於他面前供職，這樣便在錫安立定。
24:11
ἐν πόλει ἠγαπημένῃ ὁμοίως με κατέπαυσεν καὶ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἡ ἐξουσία μου
In the beloved city likewise he gave me rest; And in Jerusalem was my authority.
在他所愛的城中，他同樣使我安歇，我的權柄就在耶路撒冷。
24:12
καὶ ἐρρίζωσα ἐν λαῷ δεδοξασμένῳ ἐν μερίδι κυρίου κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ
And I took root in a people that was glorified, Even in the portion of the Lord’s own inheritance.
我在蒙榮耀的子民中紮根，就是在主自己基業的分中。
24:13
ὡς κέδρος ἀνυψώθην ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ καὶ ὡς κυπάρισσος ἐν ὄρεσιν Αερμων
I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, And as a cypress tree on the mountains of Hermon.
我像黎巴嫩的香柏樹高聳，像黑門山上的柏樹挺立。
24:14
ὡς φοῖνιξ ἀνυψώθην ἐν Αιγγαδοις καὶ ὡς φυτὰ ῥόδου ἐν Ιεριχω ὡς ἐλαία εὐπρεπὴς ἐν πεδίῳ καὶ ἀνυψώθην ὡς πλάτανος
I was exalted like a palm tree on the sea shore, And as rose plants in Jericho, And as a fair olive tree in the plain; And I was exalted as a plane tree.
我像隱基底的棕樹高聳，像耶利哥的玫瑰叢，又像平原中秀美的橄欖樹；我高聳如同梧桐樹。
24:15
ὡς κιννάμωμον καὶ ἀσπάλαθος ἀρωμάτων δέδωκα ὀσμὴν καὶ ὡς σμύρνα ἐκλεκτὴ διέδωκα εὐωδίαν ὡς χαλβάνη καὶ ὄνυξ καὶ στακτὴ καὶ ὡς λιβάνου ἀτμὶς ἐν σκηνῇ
As cinnamon and aspalathus, I have given a scent of perfumes; And as choice myrrh, I spread abroad a pleasant odour; As galbanum, and onyx, and stacte, And as the fume of frankincense in the tabernacle.
我像肉桂與芬芳的香枝散發香氣，像精選的沒藥發出馨香，又像楓子香、香螺、蘇合香，以及帳幕中乳香的煙氣。
24:16
ἐγὼ ὡς τερέμινθος ἐξέτεινα κλάδους μου καὶ οἱ κλάδοι μου κλάδοι δόξης καὶ χάριτος
As the terebinth I stretched out my branches; And my branches are branches of glory and grace.
我像篤耨香樹伸展枝條，我的枝條是榮耀與恩惠的枝條。
24:17
ἐγὼ ὡς ἄμπελος ἐβλάστησα χάριν καὶ τὰ ἄνθη μου καρπὸς δόξης καὶ πλούτου
As the vine I put forth grace; And my flowers are the fruit of glory and riches.
我像葡萄樹發出恩惠的嫩枝，我的花朵結出榮耀與豐富的果子。
24:19
προσέλθετε πρός με οἱ ἐπιθυμοῦντές μου καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν γενημάτων μου ἐμπλήσθητε
Come to me, you⌃ that are desirous of me, And be you⌃ filled with my produce.
你們渴慕我的人哪，到我這裡來，飽享我的出產。
24:20
τὸ γὰρ μνημόσυνόν μου ὑπὲρ τὸ μέλι γλυκύ καὶ ἡ κληρονομία μου ὑπὲρ μέλιτος κηρίον
For my memorial is sweeter than honey, And my inheritance than the honeycomb.
因為記念我比蜂蜜更甜，承受我為業比蜂房之蜜更美。
24:21
οἱ ἐσθίοντές με ἔτι πεινάσουσιν καὶ οἱ πίνοντές με ἔτι διψήσουσιν
They that eat me will yet be hungry; And those who drink me will yet be thirsty.
喫我的人還要再餓，喝我的人還要再渴。
24:22
ὁ ὑπακούων μου οὐκ αἰσχυνθήσεται καὶ οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι ἐν ἐμοὶ οὐχ ἁμαρτήσουσιν
He that obeys me will not be ashamed; And those who work in me will not do amiss.
順從我的必不蒙羞，在我裡面作工的必不行差錯。
24:23
ταῦτα πάντα βίβλος διαθήκης θεοῦ ὑψίστου νόμον ὃν ἐνετείλατο ἡμῖν Μωυσῆς κληρονομίαν συναγωγαῖς Ιακωβ
All these things are the book of the covenant of the Most High God, Even the law which Moses commanded us for a heritage to the assemblies of Jacob.
這一切就是至高神之約的書卷，就是摩西所吩咐我們的律法，作雅各會眾的基業。
24:25
ὁ πιμπλῶν ὡς Φισων σοφίαν καὶ ὡς Τίγρις ἐν ἡμέραις νέων
It is he that makes wisdom abundant, as Pishon, And as Tigris in the days of new fruits;
他使智慧豐盈如比遜河，如新果時節的底格里斯河。
24:26
ὁ ἀναπληρῶν ὡς Εὐφράτης σύνεσιν καὶ ὡς Ιορδάνης ἐν ἡμέραις θερισμοῦ
That makes understanding full as Euphrates, And as Jordan in the days of harvest;
他使悟性充溢如幼發拉底河，如收割時節的約旦河。
24:27
ὁ ἐκφαίνων ὡς φῶς παιδείαν ὡς Γηων ἐν ἡμέραις τρυγήτου
That makes instruction to shine forth as the light, As Gihon in the days of vintage.
他使訓誨發光如同光明，如葡萄收成時節的基訓河。
24:28
οὐ συνετέλεσεν ὁ πρῶτος γνῶναι αὐτήν καὶ οὕτως ὁ ἔσχατος οὐκ ἐξιχνίασεν αὐτήν
The first man knew her not perfectly; And in like manner the last has not traced her out.
第一個人未曾透徹認識她，末後的人也照樣未能探究她。
24:29
ἀπὸ γὰρ θαλάσσης ἐπληθύνθη διανόημα αὐτῆς καὶ ἡ βουλὴ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ ἀβύσσου μεγάλης
For her thoughts are filled from the sea, And her counsels from the great deep.
因為她的思想充溢如海洋，她的謀略深邃如大淵。
24:30
κἀγὼ ὡς διῶρυξ ἀπὸ ποταμοῦ καὶ ὡς ὑδραγωγὸς ἐξῆλθον εἰς παράδεισον
And I came out as a stream from a river, And as a conduit into a garden.
我也像從江河引出的水渠，又像通入園中的水道。
24:31
εἶπα ποτιῶ μου τὸν κῆπον καὶ μεθύσω μου τὴν πρασιάν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγένετό μοι ἡ διῶρυξ εἰς ποταμόν καὶ ὁ ποταμός μου ἐγένετο εἰς θάλασσαν
I said, I will water my garden, And will water abundantly my garden bed; And, behold, my stream became a river, And my river became a sea.
我說：『我要澆灌我的園子，潤澤我的菜畦』；看哪，我的水渠竟成了江河，我的江河又成了海洋。
24:32
ἔτι παιδείαν ὡς ὄρθρον φωτιῶ καὶ ἐκφανῶ αὐτὰ ἕως εἰς μακράν
I will yet bring instruction to light as the morning, And will make these things to shine forth afar off.
我還要使訓誨如晨光照耀，並使這些事顯明於遠方。
24:33
ἔτι διδασκαλίαν ὡς προφητείαν ἐκχεῶ καὶ καταλείψω αὐτὴν εἰς γενεὰς αἰώνων
I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, And leave it to generations of ages.
我還要將教訓如預言般傾倒出來，留給萬代的後人。
24:34
ἴδετε ὅτι οὐκ ἐμοὶ μόνῳ ἐκοπίασα ἀλλ’ ἅπασιν τοῖς ἐκζητοῦσιν αὐτήν
Behold that I have not laboured for myself only, But for all those who diligently seek her.
你們要看明：我勞苦並非單為自己，乃是為一切殷勤尋求她的人。
