15:1

Qui timet Deum faciet bona, et qui continens est justitiæ apprehendet illam :

He that fears the Lord will do this; And he that has possession of the law will obtain her.

敬畏主的人必行這事，持守律法的人必得著她。

15:2

et obviabit illi quasi mater honorificata, et quasi mulier a virginitate suscipiet illum.

And as a mother shall she meet him, And receive him as a wife married in her virginity.

她必如母親迎接他，又如貞潔的新婦接納他。

15:3

Cibabit illum pane vitæ et intellectus, et aqua sapientiæ salutaris potabit illum : et firmabitur in illo, et non flectetur :

With bread of understanding will she feed him, And give him water of wisdom to drink.

她必以見識的餅餵養他，給他智慧的水喝。

15:4

et continebit illum, et non confundetur : et exaltabit illum apud proximos suos,

He will be stayed upon her, and will not be moved; And will rely upon her, and will not be confounded.

他必倚靠她，總不動搖；倚賴她，總不蒙羞。

15:5

et in medio ecclesiæ aperiet os ejus, et adimplebit illum spiritu sapientiæ et intellectus, et stola gloriæ vestiet illum.

And she will exalt him above his neighbors; And in the midst of the congregation will she open his mouth.

她必使他高升在鄰舍之上，在會眾之中開他的口。

15:6

Jucunditatem et exsultationem thesaurizabit super illum, et nomine æterno hæreditabit illum.

He will inherit joy, and a crown of gladness, And an everlasting name.

他必承受喜樂、歡騰的冠冕，並永遠的名。

15:7

Homines stulti non apprehendent illam, et homines sensati obviabunt illi. Homines stulti non videbunt eam : longe enim abest a superbia et dolo.

Foolish men will not obtain her; And sinners will not see her.

愚昧的人不能得著她，罪人也不能看見她。

15:8

Viri mendaces non erunt illius memores : et viri veraces invenientur in illa, et successum habebunt usque ad inspectionem Dei.

She is far from pride; And liars will not remember her.

她遠離驕傲，說謊的人也必不記念她。

15:9

Non est speciosa laus in ore peccatoris,

Praise is not comely in the mouth of a sinner; For it was not sent him from the Lord.

頌讚在罪人口中並不相宜，因為這頌讚不是主所賜的。
