23:1
κύριε πάτερ καὶ δέσποτα ζωῆς μου μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με ἐν βουλῇ αὐτῶν μὴ ἀφῇς με πεσεῖν ἐν αὐτοῖς
O Lord, Father and Master of my life, Abandon me not to their counsel: Suffer me not to fall by them.
主啊，我生命的父與主宰，求你不要將我撇棄在它們的計謀中，不要任憑我因它們而跌倒。
23:2
τίς ἐπιστήσει ἐπὶ τοῦ διανοήματός μου μάστιγας καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς καρδίας μου παιδείαν σοφίας ἵνα ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀγνοήμασίν μου μὴ φείσωνται καὶ οὐ μὴ παρῇ τὰ ἁμαρτήματα αὐτῶν
Who will set scourges over my thought, And a discipline of wisdom over my heart? That they spare me not for my ignorances, And my heart pass not by their sins:
誰能在我的思想上設立鞭責，在我的心上施行智慧的管教，使它們不寬容我的無知，也不放過它們所犯的罪過？
23:3
ὅπως μὴ πληθυνθῶσιν αἱ ἄγνοιαί μου καὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι μου πλεονάσωσιν καὶ πεσοῦμαι ἔναντι τῶν ὑπεναντίων καὶ ἐπιχαρεῖταί μοι ὁ ἐχθρός μου
That my ignorances be not multiplied, And my sins abound not; And I will fall before my adversaries, And my enemy rejoice over me.
免得我的無知增多，我的罪過加增，以致我在敵人面前跌倒，仇敵向我誇勝。
23:4
κύριε πάτερ καὶ θεὲ ζωῆς μου μετεωρισμὸν ὀφθαλμῶν μὴ δῷς μοι
O Lord, Father and God of my life, Give me not a proud look,
主啊，我生命的父與神，求你不要賜給我高傲的眼目。
23:5
καὶ ἐπιθυμίαν ἀπόστρεψον ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ
And turn away concupiscense from me.
求你使邪情私慾遠離我。
23:6
κοιλίας ὄρεξις καὶ συνουσιασμὸς μὴ καταλαβέτωσάν με καὶ ψυχῇ ἀναιδεῖ μὴ παραδῷς με
Let not greediness and chambering overtake me; And give me not over to a shameless mind.
不要讓口腹之慾與情慾轄制我，也不要將我交給無恥的心。
23:7
παιδείαν στόματος ἀκούσατε τέκνα καὶ ὁ φυλάσσων οὐ μὴ ἁλῷ
Hear you⌃, my children, the discipline of the mouth; And he that keeps it will not be taken.
孩子們哪，要聽口舌的管教；謹守的人必不被擒。
23:8
ἐν τοῖς χείλεσιν αὐτοῦ καταληφθήσεται ἁμαρτωλός καὶ λοίδορος καὶ ὑπερήφανος σκανδαλισθήσονται ἐν αὐτοῖς
The sinner will be overtaken in his lips; And the reviler and the proud man will stumble therein.
罪人必因自己的嘴脣被擒，辱罵與狂傲的人必因此跌倒。
23:9
ὅρκῳ μὴ ἐθίσῃς τὸ στόμα σου καὶ ὀνομασίᾳ τοῦ ἁγίου μὴ συνεθισθῇς
Accustom not your mouth to an oath; And be not accustomed to the naming of the Holy One.
不要使你的口慣於起誓，也不要慣於妄稱那聖者的名。
23:10
ὥσπερ γὰρ οἰκέτης ἐξεταζόμενος ἐνδελεχῶς ἀπὸ μώλωπος οὐκ ἐλαττωθήσεται οὕτως καὶ ὁ ὀμνύων καὶ ὀνομάζων διὰ παντὸς ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας οὐ μὴ καθαρισθῇ
For as a servant that is continually scourged will not lack a bruise, So he also that swears and names God continually will not be cleansed from sin.
正如不斷受查驗鞭打的僕人，身上必不免有傷痕；照樣，常起誓妄稱神名的人，也必不能脫離罪而潔淨。
23:11
ἀνὴρ πολύορκος πλησθήσεται ἀνομίας καὶ οὐκ ἀποστήσεται ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ μάστιξ ἐὰν πλημμελήσῃ ἁμαρτία αὐτοῦ ἐπ’ αὐτῷ κἂν ὑπερίδῃ ἥμαρτεν δισσῶς καὶ εἰ διὰ κενῆς ὤμοσεν οὐ δικαιωθήσεται πλησθήσεται γὰρ ἐπαγωγῶν ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ
A man of many oaths will be filled with iniquity; And the scourge will not depart from his house: If he shall offend, his sin will be upon him; And if he disregard it, he has sinned doubly; And if he has sworn in vain, he will not be justified; For his house will be filled with calamities.
好起誓的人必充滿不法，災殃不離他的家；他若犯了過失，罪必歸他；他若輕忽，便是雙重犯罪；他若妄誓，必不得稱義；因為他的家必充滿禍患。
23:12
ἔστιν λέξις ἀντιπαραβεβλημένη θανάτῳ μὴ εὑρεθήτω ἐν κληρονομίᾳ Ιακωβ ἀπὸ γὰρ εὐσεβῶν ταῦτα πάντα ἀποστήσεται καὶ ἐν ἁμαρτίαις οὐκ ἐγκυλισθήσονται
There is a manner of speech that is clothed about with death: Let it not be found in the heritage of Jacob; For all these things will be far from the godly, And they will not wallow in sins.
有一種言語近乎死亡，但願在雅各的基業中找不著它；因為這一切都遠離敬虔的人，他們也不在罪中打滾。
23:13
ἀπαιδευσίαν ἀσυρῆ μὴ συνεθίσῃς τὸ στόμα σου ἔστιν γὰρ ἐν αὐτῇ λόγος ἁμαρτίας
Accustom not your mouth to gross rudeness, For therein is the word of sin.
不要使你的口慣於粗鄙無禮的言語，因為其中藏有犯罪的話。
23:14
μνήσθητι πατρὸς καὶ μητρός σου ἀνὰ μέσον γὰρ μεγιστάνων συνεδρεύεις μήποτε ἐπιλάθῃ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν καὶ τῷ ἐθισμῷ σου μωρανθῇς καὶ θελήσεις εἰ μὴ ἐγεννήθης καὶ τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ τοκετοῦ σου καταράσῃ
Remember your father and your mother, For you sit in the midst of great men; That you be not forgetful before them, And become a fool by your custom; So will you wish that you had not been born, And curse the day of your nativity.
要記念你的父母，因為你坐在權貴中間；恐怕你在他們面前失態，因你的習慣而顯為愚妄，以致你寧願自己未曾出生，並咒詛你誕生的日子。
23:15
ἄνθρωπος συνεθιζόμενος λόγοις ὀνειδισμοῦ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ παιδευθῇ
A man that is accustomed to words of reproach Will not be corrected all the days of his life.
慣於說辱罵之言的人，一生之久都不會被糾正。
23:16
δύο εἴδη πληθύνουσιν ἁμαρτίας καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐπάξει ὀργήν
Two sorts of men multiply sins, And the third will bring wrath: A hot mind, as a burning fire, will not be quenched till it be consumed: A fornicator in the body of his flesh will never cease till he has burned out the fire.
有兩種人使罪過增多，第三種人更招致忿怒：
23:17
ψυχὴ θερμὴ ὡς πῦρ καιόμενον οὐ μὴ σβεσθῇ ἕως ἂν καταποθῇ ἄνθρωπος πόρνος ἐν σώματι σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ παύσηται ἕως ἂν ἐκκαύσῃ πῦρ ἀνθρώπῳ πόρνῳ πᾶς ἄρτος ἡδύς οὐ μὴ κοπάσῃ ἕως ἂν τελευτήσῃ
All bread is sweet to a fornicator: He will not leave off till he die.
火熱的心如燃燒的火，不被吞滅必不止息；行淫的人在自己肉體的情慾中，必不止息，直到慾火燒盡。對行淫的人，凡食物都是甘甜的，他必不止息，直到死亡。
23:18
ἄνθρωπος παραβαίνων ἀπὸ τῆς κλίνης αὐτοῦ λέγων ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ τίς με ὁρᾷ σκότος κύκλῳ μου καὶ οἱ τοῖχοί με καλύπτουσιν καὶ οὐθείς με ὁρᾷ τί εὐλαβοῦμαι τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου οὐ μὴ μνησθήσεται ὁ ὕψιστος
A man that goes astray from his own bed, Saying in his heart, Who sees me? Darkness is round about me, and the walls hide me, And no man sees me; of whom am I afraid? The Most High will not remember my sins;
離棄自己牀榻的人，心裡說：『誰看見我呢？四圍是黑暗，牆垣遮蔽我，無人看見我，我何必懼怕？至高者必不記念我的罪。』
23:19
καὶ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἀνθρώπων ὁ φόβος αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω ὅτι ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου μυριοπλασίως ἡλίου φωτεινότεροι ἐπιβλέποντες πάσας ὁδοὺς ἀνθρώπων καὶ κατανοοῦντες εἰς ἀπόκρυφα μέρη
—And the eyes of men are his terror, And he knows not that the eyes of the Lord are ten thousand times brighter than the sun, Beholding all the ways of men, And looking into secret places.
他所懼怕的只是人的眼目，卻不知主的眼目比日頭明亮萬倍，鑒察人一切的道路，洞悉隱密之處。
23:20
πρὶν ἢ κτισθῆναι τὰ πάντα ἔγνωσται αὐτῷ οὕτως καὶ μετὰ τὸ συντελεσθῆναι
All things were known to him or ever they were created; And in like manner also after they were perfected.
萬物未受造之前，他已盡知；萬物造成之後，也是如此。
23:21
οὗτος ἐν πλατείαις πόλεως ἐκδικηθήσεται καὶ οὗ οὐχ ὑπενόησεν πιασθήσεται
This man will be punished in the streets of the city; And where he suspected not he will be taken.
這樣的人必在城中街道上受刑罰，在他意想不到之處被擒。
23:22
οὕτως καὶ γυνὴ καταλιποῦσα τὸν ἄνδρα καὶ παριστῶσα κληρονόμον ἐξ ἀλλοτρίου
So also a wife that leaves her husband, And brings in an heir by a stranger.
照樣，離棄丈夫、為外人立後嗣的妻子也是如此。
23:23
πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ ἐν νόμῳ ὑψίστου ἠπείθησεν καὶ δεύτερον εἰς ἄνδρα αὐτῆς ἐπλημμέλησεν καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν πορνείᾳ ἐμοιχεύθη καὶ ἐξ ἀλλοτρίου ἀνδρὸς τέκνα παρέστησεν
For first, she was disobedient in the law of the Most High; And secondly, she trespassed against her own husband; And thirdly, she played the adulteress in whoredom, And brought in children by a stranger.
因為她首先違背了至高者的律法，其次得罪了自己的丈夫，第三在淫亂中行了姦淫，又為外人生養兒女。
23:24
αὕτη εἰς ἐκκλησίαν ἐξαχθήσεται καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς ἐπισκοπὴ ἔσται
She shall be brought out into the congregation; And upon her children will there be visitation.
她必被帶到會眾面前，她的兒女也必受察究。
23:25
οὐ διαδώσουσιν τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς εἰς ῥίζαν καὶ οἱ κλάδοι αὐτῆς οὐκ οἴσουσιν καρπόν
Her children will not spread into roots, And her branches will bear no fruit.
她的兒女必不能紮根伸展，她的枝條也必不結果子。
23:26
καταλείψει εἰς κατάραν τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ ὄνειδος αὐτῆς οὐκ ἐξαλειφθήσεται
She will leave her memory for a curse; And her reproach will not be blotted out.
她必留下被咒詛的紀念，她的羞辱也必不被塗抹。
23:27
καὶ ἐπιγνώσονται οἱ καταλειφθέντες ὅτι οὐθὲν κρεῖττον φόβου κυρίου καὶ οὐθὲν γλυκύτερον τοῦ προσέχειν ἐντολαῖς κυρίου
And those who are left behind will know that there is nothing better than the fear of the Lord, And nothing sweeter than to take heed to the commandments of the Lord.
那些存留下來的人必曉得：沒有什麼比敬畏主更美，沒有什麼比留心主的誡命更甘甜。
