15:1
ὁ φοβούμενος κύριον ποιήσει αὐτό καὶ ὁ ἐγκρατὴς τοῦ νόμου καταλήμψεται αὐτήν
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
καὶ ὑπαντήσεται αὐτῷ ὡς μήτηρ καὶ ὡς γυνὴ παρθενίας προσδέξεται αὐτόν
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。

ψωμιεῖ αὐτὸν ἄρτον συνέσεως καὶ ὕδωρ σοφίας ποτίσει αὐτόν
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
στηριχθήσεται ἐπ’ αὐτὴν καὶ οὐ μὴ κλιθῇ καὶ ἐπ’ αὐτῆς ἐφέξει καὶ οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ
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。

καὶ ὑψώσει αὐτὸν παρὰ τοὺς πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν μέσῳ ἐκκλησίας ἀνοίξει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ
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。

εὐφροσύνην καὶ στέφανον ἀγαλλιάματος εὑρήσει καὶ ὄνομα αἰῶνος κατακληρονομήσει
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。

οὐ μὴ καταλήμψονται αὐτὴν ἄνθρωποι ἀσύνετοι καὶ ἄνδρες ἁμαρτωλοὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδωσιν αὐτήν
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
μακράν ἐστιν ὑπερηφανίας καὶ ἄνδρες ψεῦσται οὐ μὴ μνησθήσονται αὐτῆς
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
οὐχ ὡραῖος αἶνος ἐν στόματι ἁμαρτωλοῦ ὅτι οὐ παρὰ κυρίου ἀπεστάλη
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。
15:10
ἐν γὰρ σοφίᾳ ῥηθήσεται αἶνος καὶ ὁ κύριος εὐοδώσει αὐτόν
For praise will be spoken in wisdom; And the Lord will prosper it.
因為頌讚要在智慧中發出，主也必使它亨通。
15:11
μὴ εἴπῃς ὅτι διὰ κύριον ἀπέστην ἃ γὰρ ἐμίσησεν οὐ ποιήσει
Say not you, It is through the Lord that I fell away; For you shall not do the things that he hates.
不要說：『是主使我背道的。』因為他所恨惡的事，你不可去行。
15:12
μὴ εἴπῃς ὅτι αὐτός με ἐπλάνησεν οὐ γὰρ χρείαν ἔχει ἀνδρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ
Say not you, It is he that caused me to err; For he has no need of a sinful man.
不要說：『是他使我迷失的。』因為他不需要罪人。
15:13
πᾶν βδέλυγμα ἐμίσησεν ὁ κύριος καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀγαπητὸν τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτόν
The Lord hates every abomination; And those who fear him love it not.
主憎惡一切可憎之事，敬畏他的人也不喜愛這事。
15:14
αὐτὸς ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἐποίησεν ἄνθρωπον καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὸν ἐν χειρὶ διαβουλίου αὐτοῦ
He himself made man from the beginning, And left him in the hand of his own counsel.
他從起初造了人，便將他交在自己抉擇的手中。
15:15
ἐὰν θέλῃς συντηρήσεις ἐντολὰς καὶ πίστιν ποιῆσαι εὐδοκίας
If you will, you shall keep the commandments; And to perform faithfulness is of your own good pleasure.
你若願意，就能遵守誡命；守住信實，全在乎你的甘心樂意。
15:16
παρέθηκέν σοι πῦρ καὶ ὕδωρ οὗ ἐὰν θέλῃς ἐκτενεῖς τὴν χεῖρά σου

ἔναντι ἀνθρώπων ἡ ζωὴ καὶ ὁ θάνατος καὶ ὃ ἐὰν εὐδοκήσῃ δοθήσεται αὐτῷ
Before man is life and death; And whichever he likes, it shall be given him.
在人面前有生與死，他喜悅哪樣，就賜給他哪樣。

ὅτι πολλὴ ἡ σοφία τοῦ κυρίου ἰσχυρὸς ἐν δυναστείᾳ καὶ βλέπων τὰ πάντα
For great is the wisdom of the Lord: He is mighty in power, and sees all things;
因為主的智慧浩大，他大有能力，鑒察萬事。
15:19
καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτόν καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπιγνώσεται πᾶν ἔργον ἀνθρώπου
And his eyes are upon those who fear him; And he will take knowledge of every work of man.
他的眼目看顧敬畏他的人，他洞悉人的一切作為。
15:20
οὐκ ἐνετείλατο οὐδενὶ ἀσεβεῖν καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκεν ἄνεσιν οὐδενὶ ἁμαρτάνειν

他從未吩咐人作惡，也未許可任何人犯罪。
