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).

9:1
ἡ σοφία ᾠκοδόμησεν ἑαυτῇ οἶκον καὶ ὑπήρεισεν στύλους ἑπτά
Wisdom has built herself a house, and has set up seven pillars as supports.
智慧為自己建造了房屋，又立起七根柱子支撐。
9:2
ἔσφαξεν τὰ ἑαυτῆς θύματα ἐκέρασεν εἰς κρατῆρα τὸν ἑαυτῆς οἶνον καὶ ἡτοιμάσατο τὴν ἑαυτῆς τράπεζαν
She has slaughtered her own victims, she has mixed her own wine in a bowl, and she has prepared her own table.
她宰了自己的牲畜，把自己的酒調在調酒缸裡，又擺設了自己的筵席。
9:3
ἀπέστειλεν τοὺς ἑαυτῆς δούλους συγκαλούσα μετὰ ὑψηλοῦ κηρύγματος ἐπὶ κρατῆρα λέγουσα
She has sent out her own servants, calling people together with a lofty proclamation to the wine bowl, saying:
她打發自己的僕人，高聲宣告，招呼人到調酒缸那裡，說：
9:4
ὅς ἐστιν ἄφρων ἐκκλινάτω πρός με καὶ τοῖς ἐνδεέσι φρενῶν εἶπεν
“Whoever is foolish, let him turn aside to me.” And to those lacking sense she said:
「誰是愚蒙的，可以轉到我這裡來。」她又對那些缺少心竅的人說：
9:5
ἔλθατε φάγετε τῶν ἐμῶν ἄρτων καὶ πίετε οἶνον ὃν ἐκέρασα ὑμῖν
“Come, eat of my bread, and drink the wine which I have mixed for you.
「你們來，吃我的餅，喝我為你們調好的酒。
9:6
ἀπολείπετε ἀφροσύνην καὶ ζήσεσθε καὶ ζητήσατε φρόνησιν ἵνα βιώσητε καὶ κατορθώσατε ἐν γνώσει σύνεσιν
Forsake folly, and you shall live; and seek understanding, that you may live; and set your discernment straight by knowledge.”
你們要離棄愚昧，就必存活；要尋求明哲，使你們得以生存；又要藉知識使悟性正直。」
9:7
ὁ παιδεύων κακοὺς λήμψεται ἑαυτῷ ἀτιμίαν ἐλέγχων δὲ τὸν ἀσεβῆ μωμήσεται ἑαυτόν
He who instructs wicked men will get dishonour for himself, and he who reproves the impious will bring blame upon himself.
管教惡人的，必自取羞辱；責備不敬虔之人的，必自招毀謗。
9:8
μὴ ἔλεγχε κακούς ἵνα μὴ μισῶσίν σε ἔλεγχε σοφόν καὶ ἀγαπήσει σε
Do not reprove wicked men, lest they hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
不要責備惡人，免得他們恨你；要責備智慧人，他必愛你。
9:9
δίδου σοφῷ ἀφορμήν καὶ σοφώτερος ἔσται γνώριζε δικαίῳ καὶ προσθήσει τοῦ δέχεσθαι
Give a wise man an occasion, and he will be wiser; instruct a righteous man, and he will increase in receiving.
給智慧人機會，他就更有智慧；指教義人，他必更多領受。
9:10
ἀρχὴ σοφίας φόβος κυρίου καὶ βουλὴ ἁγίων σύνεσις τὸ γὰρ γνῶναι νόμον διανοίας ἐστὶν ἀγαθῆς
The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord, and the counsel of holy ones is understanding; for to know the law is the mark of a good mind.
敬畏主是智慧的開端，聖者的謀略就是悟性；因為認識律法是出於良善的心思。
9:11
τούτῳ γὰρ τῷ τρόπῳ πολὺν ζήσεις χρόνον καὶ προστεθήσεταί σοι ἔτη ζωῆς σου
For in this way you will live a long time, and years of your life will be added to you.
因為你用這樣的方式，必活得長久，你生命的年日必加添給你。
9:12
υἱέ ἐὰν σοφὸς γένῃ σεαυτῷ σοφὸς ἔσῃ καὶ τοῖς πλησίον ἐὰν δὲ κακὸς ἀποβῇς μόνος ἀναντλήσεις κακά ὃς ἐρείδεται ἐπὶ ψεύδεσιν οὗτος ποιμανεῖ ἀνέμους ὁ δ’ αὐτὸς διώξεται ὄρνεα πετόμενα ἀπέλιπεν γὰρ ὁδοὺς τοῦ ἑαυτοῦ ἀμπελῶνος τοὺς δὲ ἄξονας τοῦ ἰδίου γεωργίου πεπλάνηται διαπορεύεται δὲ δῑ ἀνύδρου ἐρήμου καὶ γῆν διατεταγμένην ἐν διψώδεσιν συνάγει δὲ χερσὶν ἀκαρπίαν
Son, if you become wise for yourself, you will be wise also for your neighbours; but if you turn out bad, you alone will drain the cup of evils. He who leans on falsehoods, this man shepherds winds, and this same man will chase flying birds; for he has abandoned the paths of his own vineyard, and has wandered from the tracks of his own farm; he travels through a waterless desert and a land allotted amid thirsty places, and with his hands he gathers barrenness.
我兒，你若為自己成為智慧人，也必為鄰舍成為智慧人；你若變成惡人，就必獨自飲盡災禍。倚靠謊言的，這人是在牧養風；他也必追趕飛鳥；因為他離棄了自己葡萄園的道路，又迷失了自己田地的車軌；他走過無水的曠野，和分派在乾渴之地的土地，他兩手所收聚的只是無收成。
9:13
γυνὴ ἄφρων καὶ θρασεῖα ἐνδεὴς ψωμοῦ γίνεται ἣ οὐκ ἐπίσταται αἰσχύνην
A foolish and bold woman comes to lack a morsel of bread, she who knows no shame.
愚昧放肆的婦人，成了缺乏一塊餅的人，她不懂得甚麼是羞恥。
9:14
ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ θύραις τοῦ ἑαυτῆς οἴκου ἐπὶ δίφρου ἐμφανῶς ἐν πλατείαις
She has sat at the doors of her own house, on a seat, conspicuously in the broad streets,
她坐在自己房屋的門口，公然坐在街市的座位上，
9:15
προσκαλουμένη τοὺς παριόντας καὶ κατευθύνοντας ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν
calling to those passing by and going straight on their ways:
呼喚那些過路的人，就是在自己路上直行的人，
9:16
ὅς ἐστιν ὑμῶν ἀφρονέστατος ἐκκλινάτω πρός με ἐνδεέσι δὲ φρονήσεως παρακελεύομαι λέγουσα
“Whoever among you is most foolish, let him turn aside to me.” And to those lacking understanding she urges, saying:
「你們中間誰是最愚蒙的，可以轉到我這裡來。」她又勸那些缺少明哲的人說：
9:17
ἄρτων κρυφίων ἡδέως ἅψασθε καὶ ὕδατος κλοπῆς γλυκεροῦ
“Touch with pleasure the hidden loaves and the sweet stolen water.”
「你們要歡然嘗那暗中的餅，和那偷來的甜水。」
9:18
ὁ δὲ οὐκ οἶδεν ὅτι γηγενεῖς παρ’ αὐτῇ ὄλλυνται καὶ ἐπὶ πέτευρον ᾅδου συναντᾷ ἀλλὰ ἀποπήδησον μὴ ἐγχρονίσῃς ἐν τῷ τόπῳ μηδὲ ἐπιστήσῃς τὸ σὸν ὄμμα πρὸς αὐτήν οὕτως γὰρ διαβήσῃ ὕδωρ ἀλλότριον καὶ ὑπερβήσῃ ποταμὸν ἀλλότριον ἀπὸ δὲ ὕδατος ἀλλοτρίου ἀπόσχου καὶ ἀπὸ πηγῆς ἀλλοτρίας μὴ πίῃς ἵνα πολὺν ζήσῃς χρόνον προστεθῇ δέ σοι ἔτη ζωῆς
But he does not know that earth-born men perish beside her, and that he meets them on the plank of Hades. But leap away, do not linger in that place, nor fix your eye upon her; for in this way you will cross over strange water and pass over a strange river. Keep away from strange water, and do not drink from a strange spring, so that you may live a long time and years of life may be added to you.
他卻不知道，地上所生的人在她那裡滅亡，而他是在陰間的架板上與他們相會。你倒要跳開，不可在那地方逗留，也不可定睛看她；因為你這樣就必渡過外人的水，越過外人的河。你要遠離外人的水，也不可喝外人泉源的水，好使你活得長久，生命的年歲得以加添給你。
