ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

30:1
τοὺς ἐμοὺς λόγους υἱέ φοβήθητι καὶ δεξάμενος αὐτοὺς μετανόει τάδε λέγει ὁ ἀνὴρ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν θεῷ καὶ παύομαι
My son, fear my words, and having received them, repent. Thus says the man to those who believe God, and then I cease.
我兒，要敬畏我的話語，領受了就當悔改。這人向信神的人如此說，然後我就止住了。
30:2
ἀφρονέστατος γάρ εἰμι πάντων ἀνθρώπων καὶ φρόνησις ἀνθρώπων οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἐμοί
For I am the most foolish of all men, and the understanding of men is not in me.
因為我是所有人中最愚昧的，人的悟性也不在我裡面。
30:3
θεὸς δεδίδαχέν με σοφίαν καὶ γνῶσιν ἁγίων ἔγνωκα
God has taught me wisdom, and I have come to know the knowledge of the holy ones.
神已教導我智慧，我也認識了聖者的知識。
30:4
τίς ἀνέβη εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ κατέβη τίς συνήγαγεν ἀνέμους ἐν κόλπῳ τίς συνέστρεψεν ὕδωρ ἐν ἱματίῳ τίς ἐκράτησεν πάντων τῶν ἄκρων τῆς γῆς τί ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἢ τί ὄνομα τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτοῦ ἵνα γνῷς
Who went up into heaven and came down? Who gathered the winds in his bosom? Who wrapped up water in a garment? Who took hold of all the ends of the earth? What is his name, or what is the name of his children, that you may know?
誰升上了天又降下來？誰把風聚在懷裡？誰把水裹在衣服裡？誰掌握了地的一切邊界？他的名字是甚麼？他兒女的名字又是甚麼？好叫你知道。
30:5
πάντες λόγοι θεοῦ πεπυρωμένοι ὑπερασπίζει δὲ αὐτὸς τῶν εὐλαβουμένων αὐτόν
All the words of God are refined by fire, and he himself is a shield to those who reverence him.
神的話語都是經火煉淨的；他親自作敬畏他之人的盾牌。
30:6
μὴ προσθῇς τοῖς λόγοις αὐτοῦ ἵνα μὴ ἐλέγξῃ σε καὶ ψευδὴς γένῃ
Do not add to his words, lest he reprove you and you become a liar.
不可加添他的話語，免得他責備你，你就成了說謊的。
30:7
δύο αἰτοῦμαι παρὰ σοῦ μὴ ἀφέλῃς μου χάριν πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν με
Two things I ask of you: do not take away my favour before I die.
我向你求兩件事，在我死之前不要奪去我的恩惠。
30:8
μάταιον λόγον καὶ ψευδῆ μακράν μου ποίησον πλοῦτον δὲ καὶ πενίαν μή μοι δῷς σύνταξον δέ μοι τὰ δέοντα καὶ τὰ αὐτάρκη
Put vain and false speech far from me; and give me neither riches nor poverty, but appoint for me what is needful and what is sufficient.
求你使虛妄和虛謊的言語遠離我；也不要把富足或貧窮給我，只要把必需的和足夠的分配給我。
30:9
ἵνα μὴ πλησθεὶς ψευδὴς γένωμαι καὶ εἴπω τίς με ὁρᾷ ἢ πενηθεὶς κλέψω καὶ ὀμόσω τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ
lest, being filled, I become a liar and say, 'Who sees me?' or, being made poor, I steal and swear by the name of God.
免得我飽足了就成為說謊的，說：「誰看見我呢？」或是貧窮了就偷竊，並指著神的名起誓。
30:10
μὴ παραδῷς οἰκέτην εἰς χεῖρας δεσπότου μήποτε καταράσηταί σε καὶ ἀφανισθῇς
Do not hand over a household servant into the hands of his master, lest he curse you and you be wiped out.
不要把家僕交在主人手裡，恐怕他咒詛你，你就被滅絕。

An evil offspring has lofty eyes, and lifts himself up with his eyelids.
邪惡的後裔眼目高傲，又用眼皮高抬自己。
30:14
ἔκγονον κακὸν μαχαίρας τοὺς ὀδόντας ἔχει καὶ τὰς μύλας τομίδας ὥστε ἀναλίσκειν καὶ κατεσθίειν τοὺς ταπεινοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ τοὺς πένητας αὐτῶν ἐξ ἀνθρώπων
An evil offspring has swords for teeth and cutters for molars, so as to consume and devour the lowly from the earth, and the needy among them from among men.
邪惡的後裔以刀劍為牙齒，以利刃為臼齒，為要吞滅、吃盡地上卑微的人，以及在人中間那些窮乏的人。
30:15
τῇ βδέλλῃ τρεῖς θυγατέρες ἦσαν ἀγαπήσει ἀγαπώμεναι καὶ αἱ τρεῖς αὗται οὐκ ἐνεπίμπλασαν αὐτήν καὶ ἡ τετάρτη οὐκ ἠρκέσθη εἰπεῖν ἱκανόν

陰間、婦人的愛慾、塔耳塔羅深淵，以及不被水充滿的地；還有水和火，牠們絕不說「夠了」。
30:17
ὀφθαλμὸν καταγελῶντα πατρὸς καὶ ἀτιμάζοντα γῆρας μητρός ἐκκόψαισαν αὐτὸν κόρακες ἐκ τῶν φαράγγων καὶ καταφάγοισαν αὐτὸν νεοσσοὶ ἀετῶν
The eye that mocks a father and dishonours a mother's old age—may the ravens from the ravines pluck it out, and may the young of the eagles devour it.
那譏笑父親、輕看母親年老的眼睛，願谷中的烏鴉啄出它來，願鷹的雛兒把它吃盡。

飛翔之鷹的蹤跡，蛇在磐石上的道路，渡海之船的路徑，以及人在年少時的道路。
30:20
τοιαύτη ὁδὸς γυναικὸς μοιχαλίδος ἥ ὅταν πράξῃ ἀπονιψαμένη οὐδέν φησιν πεπραχέναι ἄτοπον
Such is the way of an adulterous woman: when she has done the deed, she washes herself and says she has done nothing amiss.

30:21
διὰ τριῶν σείεται ἡ γῆ τὸ δὲ τέταρτον οὐ δύναται φέρειν
By three things the earth is shaken, and the fourth it cannot bear:
地因三樣事震動，還有第四樣是牠所不能承擔的：
30:22
ἐὰν οἰκέτης βασιλεύσῃ καὶ ἄφρων πλησθῇ σιτίων
if a household servant becomes king, and if a fool is filled with food,
若是家僕作王，若是愚昧人飽足食物，
30:23
καὶ οἰκέτις ἐὰν ἐκβάλῃ τὴν ἑαυτῆς κυρίαν καὶ μισητὴ γυνὴ ἐὰν τύχῃ ἀνδρὸς ἀγαθοῦ
and if a maidservant casts out her own mistress, and if a hateful woman obtains a good husband.
若是婢女趕出自己的女主人，若是可憎的婦人得著好丈夫。

and the rock badgers, a nation not strong, which made their houses among the rocks;
岩貍是不強壯的族類，卻在磐石中為自己造了房屋；
30:27
ἀβασίλευτόν ἐστιν ἡ ἀκρὶς καὶ ἐκστρατεύει ἀφ’ ἑνὸς κελεύσματος εὐτάκτως
the locust is without a king, and yet it marches out in good order at a single command;
蝗蟲沒有君王，卻聽一聲號令就整齊地出隊；
