31:1
דִּ֭בְרֵי לְמוּאֵ֣ל מֶ֑לֶךְ מַ֝שָּׂ֗א אֲֽשֶׁר־יִסְּרַ֥תּוּ אִמּֽוֹ׃
The words of King Lemuel—the revelation which his mother taught him:
利慕伊勒王的言語，是他母親教訓他的真言。
31:2
מַה־בְּ֭רִי וּמַֽה־בַּר־בִּטְנִ֑י וּ֝מֶ֗ה בַּר־נְדָרָֽי׃
“Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!
我的兒啊，我腹中生的兒啊， 我許願得的兒啊！我當怎樣教訓你呢？
31:3
אַל־תִּתֵּ֣ן לַנָּשִׁ֣ים חֵילֶ֑ךָ וּ֝דְרָכֶ֗יךָ לַֽמְח֥וֹת מְלָכִֽין׃
Don’t give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
不要將你的精力給婦女； 也不要有敗壞君王的行為。
31:4
אַ֤ל לַֽמְלָכִ֨ים׀ לְֽמוֹאֵ֗ל אַ֣ל לַֽמְלָכִ֣ים שְׁתוֹ־יָ֑יִן וּ֝לְרוֹזְנִ֗ים (או) [אֵ֣י] שֵׁכָֽר׃
It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’
利慕伊勒啊，君王喝酒，君王喝酒不相宜； 王子說濃酒在那裏也不相宜；
31:5
פֶּן־יִ֭שְׁתֶּה וְיִשְׁכַּ֣ח מְחֻקָּ֑ק וִ֝ישַׁנֶּ֗ה דִּ֣ין כׇּל־בְּנֵי־עֹֽנִי׃
lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
恐怕喝了就忘記律例， 顛倒一切困苦人的是非。
31:6
תְּנוּ־שֵׁכָ֥ר לְאוֹבֵ֑ד וְ֝יַ֗יִן לְמָ֣רֵי נָֽפֶשׁ׃
Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, and wine to the bitter in soul.
可以把濃酒給將亡的人喝， 把清酒給苦心的人喝，
31:7
יִ֭שְׁתֶּה וְיִשְׁכַּ֣ח רִישׁ֑וֹ וַ֝עֲמָל֗וֹ לֹ֣א יִזְכׇּר־עֽוֹד׃ {פ}
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
讓他喝了，就忘記他的貧窮， 不再記念他的苦楚。
31:8
פְּתַח־פִּ֥יךָ לְאִלֵּ֑ם אֶל־דִּ֝֗ין כׇּל־בְּנֵ֥י חֲלֽוֹף׃
Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
你當為啞巴 開口， 為一切孤獨的伸冤。
31:9
פְּתַח־פִּ֥יךָ שְׁפׇט־צֶ֑דֶק וְ֝דִ֗ין עָנִ֥י וְאֶבְיֽוֹן׃ {פ}
Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.”
你當開口按公義判斷， 為困苦和窮乏的辨屈。
31:10
אֵֽשֶׁת־חַ֭יִל מִ֣י יִמְצָ֑א וְרָחֹ֖ק מִפְּנִינִ֣ים מִכְרָֽהּ׃
Who can find a worthy woman? For her value is far above rubies.
才德的婦人誰能得着呢？ 她的價值遠勝過珍珠。

她覺得所經營的有利； 她的燈終夜不滅。
