6:1
Melior est sapientia quam vires, et vir prudens quam fortis.
Hear therefore, you⌃ kings, and understand; Learn, you⌃ judges of the ends of the earth:
君王啊，所以你們要聽，要明白；地極的審判官哪，你們要受教。
6:2
Audite ergo, reges, et intelligite ; discite, judices finium terræ.
Give ear, you⌃ that have dominion over much people, And make your boast in multitudes of nations.
你們這些轄管眾民、因列邦羣眾而誇耀的，要側耳而聽。
6:3
Præbete aures, vos qui continetis multitudines, et placetis vobis in turbis nationum.
Because your dominion was given you from the Lord, And your sovereignty from the Most High; Who will search out your works, And will make inquisition of your counsels:
因為你們的權柄是從主賜下的，你們的統治是從至高者而來的；祂必察究你們的作為，鑒察你們的計謀。
6:4
Quoniam data est a Domino potestas vobis, et virtus ab Altissimo : qui interrogabit opera vestra, et cogitationes scrutabitur.
Because being officers of his kingdom you⌃ did not judge aright, Neither kept you⌃ law, nor walked after the counsel of God.
因為你們既作祂國度的臣僕，卻沒有按公正審判，沒有遵守律法，也沒有照神的旨意而行。
6:5
Quoniam cum essetis ministri regni illius, non recte judicastis, nec custodistis legem justitiæ, neque secundum voluntatem Dei ambulastis.
Awfully and swiftly will he come upon you; Because a stern judgement befalleth those who are in high place:
祂必可畏而迅速地臨到你們；因為嚴厲的審判必臨到居高位的人。
6:6
Horrende et cito apparebit vobis, quoniam judicium durissimum his qui præsunt fiet.
For the man of low estate may be pardoned in mercy, But mighty men will be searched out mightily.
因為卑微的人尚可蒙憐憫得赦免，但有權勢的人必受嚴厲的察究。
6:7
Exiguo enim conceditur misericordia ; potentes autem potenter tormenta patientur.
For the Sovereign Lord of all will not refrain himself for any man’s person, Neither will he reverence greatness; Because it is he that made both small and great, And alike he takes thought for all;
因為那作萬有之主宰者，必不因任何人的情面而退縮，也不因尊大而有所顧忌；因為無論大小都是祂所造的，祂也照樣眷顧萬人；
6:8
Non enim subtrahet personam cujusquam Deus, nec verebitur magnitudinem ejus cujusquam, quoniam pusillum et magnum ipse fecit, et æqualiter cura est illi de omnibus.
But strict is the scrutiny that comes upon the powerful.
但嚴密的察究必臨到有權勢的人。
6:9
Fortioribus autem fortior instat cruciatio.
To you therefore, O princes, are my words, That you⌃ may learn wisdom and fall not from the right way.
君王啊，所以我的話是對你們說的，好叫你們學習智慧，不致失足跌倒。
6:10
Ad vos ergo, reges, sunt hi sermones mei : ut discatis sapientiam, et non excidatis.
For those who have kept holily the things that are holy will themselves be hallowed; And those who have been taught them will find what to answer;
因為謹守聖事為聖的，必成為聖；領受這些教訓的，必尋得可以分訴的答話。
6:11
Qui enim custodierint justa juste, justificabuntur ; et qui didicerint ista, invenient quid respondeant.
Set your desire therefore on my words; Long for them, and you⌃ will be trained by their discipline.
所以你們要切慕我的話，渴想它們，就必受到訓誨。
6:12
Concupiscite ergo sermones meos ; diligite illos, et habebitis disciplinam.
Wisdom is radiant and fades not away; And easily is she saw those who love her, And found of those who seek her.
智慧是光輝燦爛、永不衰殘的；愛慕她的人容易看見她，尋求她的人必尋見她。
6:13
Clara est, et quæ numquam marcescit, sapientia : et facile videtur ab his qui diligunt eam, et invenitur ab his qui quærunt illam.
She forestalleth those who desire to know her, making herself first known.
她搶先向那渴慕的人顯現，叫人先認識她。
6:14
Præoccupat qui se concupiscunt, ut illis se prior ostendat.
He that rises up early to seek her will have no toil, For he will find her sitting at his gates.
清早起來尋求她的，必不勞苦，因為必看見她坐在自己門口。
6:15
Qui de luce vigilaverit ad illam non laborabit ; assidentem enim illam foribus suis inveniet.
For to think upon her is perfectness of understanding, And he that watches for her sake will quickly be free from care.
因為思念她，就是明達的完全；為她警醒的，必速速無憂。
6:16
Cogitare ergo de illa sensus est consummatus, et qui vigilaverit propter illam cito securus erit.
Because she goes about, herself seeking those who are worthy of her, And in their paths she appears to them graciously, And in every purpose she meets them.
因為她親自周遊，尋找那些配得她的人，在他們的路上慈祥地向他們顯現，在各樣的籌畫中迎見他們。
6:17
Quoniam dignos se ipsa circuit quærens, et in viis ostendit se hilariter, et in omni providentia occurrit illis.
For her true beginning is desire of discipline; And the care for discipline is love of her;
因為她最真實的開端就是渴慕訓誨；對訓誨的關切就是愛她，
6:18
Initium enim illius verissima est disciplinæ concupiscentia.
And love of her is observance of her laws; And to give heed to her laws confirmeth incorruption;
愛她就是遵守她的律法；留心她的律法，就確保了不朽，
6:19
Cura ergo disciplinæ dilectio est, et dilectio custodia legum illius est ; custoditio autem legum consummatio incorruptionis est ;
And incorruption brings near to God;
不朽使人親近神；
6:20
incorruptio autem facit esse proximum Deo.
So then desire of wisdom promoteth to a kingdom.
如此，渴慕智慧便引人進入國度。
6:21
Concupiscentia itaque sapientiæ deducit ad regnum perpetuum.
If therefore you⌃ delight in thrones and sceptres, you⌃ princes of peoples, Honor wisdom, that you⌃ may reign forever.
萬民的君王啊，你們若喜愛寶座和權杖，就當尊崇智慧，好叫你們永遠作王。
6:22
Si ergo delectamini sedibus et sceptris, o reges populi, diligite sapientiam, ut in perpetuum regnetis :
But what wisdom is, and how she came into being, I will declare, And I will not hide mysteries from you; But I will trace her out from the beginning of creation, And bring the knowledge of her into clear light, And I will not pass by the truth;
智慧是甚麼，她如何生成，我要宣告，不向你們隱藏奧祕；我要從創世之初追溯她的蹤跡，將認識她的知識顯明出來，絕不偏離真理；
6:23
diligite lumen sapientiæ, omnes qui præestis populis.
Neither indeed will I take pining envy for my companion in the way, Because envy will have no fellowship with wisdom.
我也決不與那枯槁的嫉妒同行，因為嫉妒與智慧毫無相交。
6:24
Quid est autem sapientia, et quemadmodum facta sit, referam, et non abscondam a vobis sacramenta Dei : sed ab initio nativitatis investigabo, et ponam in lucem scientiam illius, et non præteribo veritatem.
But a multitude of wise men is salvation to the world, And an understanding king is tranquillity to his people.
智慧人眾多就是世界的拯救，明智的君王就是百姓的安定。
6:25
Neque cum invidia tabescente iter habebo, quoniam talis homo non erit particeps sapientiæ.
Wherefore be disciplined by my words, and thereby will you⌃ profit.
所以你們要受我言語的訓誨，就必得益處。
