9:1
Non zeles mulierem sinus tui , ne ostendat super te malitiam doctrinæ nequam .
Be not jealous over the wife of your bosom, And teach her not an evil lesson against yourself.
不要嫉妒你懷中的妻子，免得你教給她惡毒的伎倆來害自己。
9:2
Non des mulieri potestatem animæ tuæ , ne ingrediatur in virtutem tuam , et confundaris .
Give not your soul to a woman, That she should set her foot upon your strength.
不要把心交給女人，讓她踐踏你的力量。
9:3
Ne respicias mulierem multivolam , ne forte incidas in laqueos illius .
Go not to meet a woman that playeth the harlot, Lest haply you fall into her snares.
不要去迎接行淫的女子，免得你落入她的網羅。
9:4
Cum saltatrice ne assiduus sis , nec audias illam , ne forte pereas in efficacia illius .
Use not the company of a woman that is a singer, Lest haply you be caught by her attempts.
不要常與歌女為伴，免得你被她的伎倆所擒。
9:5
Virginem ne conspicias , ne forte scandalizeris in decore illius .
Gaze not on a maid, lest haply you be trapped in her penalties.
不要注視處女，免得你因她而受罰絆倒。
9:6
Ne des fornicariis animam tuam in ullo , ne perdas te et hæreditatem tuam .
Give not your soul to harlots, That you lose not your inheritance.
不要把心交給娼妓，免得你喪失你的產業。
9:7
Noli circumspicere in vicis civitatis , nec oberraveris in plateis illius .
Look not round about you in the streets of the city, Neither wander you in the solitary places thereof.
不要在城中街道四處張望，也不要在偏僻之處遊蕩。
9:8
Averte faciem tuam a muliere compta , et ne circumspicias speciem alienam .
Turn away your eye from a comely woman, And gaze not on another’s beauty: By the beauty of a woman many have been led astray; And herewith love is kindled as a fire.
要轉眼不看美貌的女子，不要凝視別人的美色；許多人因女子的美貌而迷失，這樣的情慾如火般被點燃。
9:9
Propter speciem mulieris multi perierunt : et ex hoc concupiscentia quasi ignis exardescit .
Sit not at all with a woman that has a husband; And revel not with her at the wine; Lest haply your soul turn away to her, And with your spirit you slide into destruction.
絕不要與有夫之婦同坐，也不要與她飲酒作樂，免得你的心偏向她，使你的靈墮入滅亡。
9:10
Omnis mulier quæ est fornicaria , quasi stercus in via conculcabitur .
Forsake not an old friend; For the new is not comparable to him: As new wine, so is a new friend; If it become old, you will drink it with gladness.
不要捨棄舊友，因為新朋友比不上他；新朋友如同新酒，待它陳久了，你才能歡然暢飲。
9:11
Speciem mulieris alienæ multi admirati , reprobi facti sunt : colloquium enim illius quasi ignis exardescit .
Envy not the glory of a sinner; For you know not what will be his overthrow.
不要嫉妒罪人的榮耀，因為你不知道他的傾覆將要如何臨到。
9:12
Cum aliena muliere ne sedeas omnino , nec accumbas cum ea super cubitum :
Delight not in the delights of the ungodly: Remember they will not go unpunished to the grave.
不要喜悅不敬虔之人的喜悅，要記得他們直到陰間也難逃刑罰。
9:13
et non alterceris cum illa in vino , ne forte declinet cor tuum in illam , et sanguine tuo labaris in perditionem .
Keep you far from the man that has power to kill, And you will have no suspicion of the fear of death: And if you come to him, commit no fault, Lest he take away your life: Know surely that you go about in the midst of snares, And walk upon the battlements of a city.
要遠離有權殺人的人，你就不必懼怕死亡的恐怖；你若就近他，就不可有過失，免得他奪去你的性命；要曉得你是行在網羅之中，行走在城牆的雉堞之上。
9:14
Ne derelinquas amicum antiquum : novus enim non erit similis illi .
As well as you can, guess at your neighbors; And take counsel with the wise.
要盡你所能揣度你的鄰舍，並與智慧人商議。
9:15
Vinum novum amicus novus : veterascet , et cum suavitate bibes illud .
Let your converse be with men of understanding; And let all your discourse be in the law of the Most High.
要與有見識的人交談，你一切的言談都要在至高者的律法中。
9:16
Non zeles gloriam et opes peccatoris : non enim scis quæ futura sit illius subversio .
Let just men be the companions of your board; And let your glorying be in the fear of the Lord.
要讓義人作你同席的伴侶，你的誇耀要在於敬畏主。
9:17
Non placeat tibi injuria injustorum , sciens quoniam usque ad inferos non placebit impius .
For the hand of the artificers a work will be commended: And he that rules the people will be counted wise for his speech.
工匠的手藝因工作而受稱讚，治理百姓的人因言語而顯為智慧。
9:18
Longe abesto ab homine potestatem habente occidendi , et non suspicaberis timorem mortis .
A man full of tongue is dangerous in his city; And he that is headlong in his speech will be hated.
多言的人在城中令人懼怕，言語輕率的人必被人厭惡。
