2:1

Fili mi, si susceperis sermones meos, et mandata mea absconderis penes te :

My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you,

我兒，你若領受我的言語，存記我的命令，

2:2

ut audiat sapientiam auris tua, inclina cor tuum ad cognoscendam prudentiam.

so as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;

側耳聽智慧，專心求聰明，

2:3

Si enim sapientiam invocaveris, et inclinaveris cor tuum prudentiae ;

yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;

呼求明哲，揚聲求聰明，

2:4

si quaesieris eam quasi pecuniam, et sicut thesauros effoderis illam :

if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures;

尋找它，如尋找銀子，搜求它，如搜求隱藏的珍寶，

tunc intelliges timorem Domini, et scientiam Dei invenies,

quia Dominus dat sapientiam, et ex ore ejus prudentia et scientia.

2:7

Custodiet rectorum salutem, et proteget gradientes simpliciter,

He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

servans semitas justitiae, et vias sanctorum custodiens.

that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints.

為要保守公平人的路，護庇虔敬人的道。

Tunc intelliges justitiam, et judicium, et aequitatem, et omnem semitam bonam.

Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.
