31:1
Verba Lamuelis regis. Visio qua erudivit eum mater sua.
利慕伊勒王的言語，是他母親教訓他的真言。
The words of King Lemuel—the revelation which his mother taught him:
31:2
Quid, dilecte mi ? quid, dilecte uteri mei ? quid, dilecte votorum meorum ?
我的兒啊，我腹中生的兒啊， 我許願得的兒啊！我當怎樣教訓你呢？
“Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!
31:3
Ne dederis mulieribus substantiam tuam, et divitias tuas ad delendos reges.
不要將你的精力給婦女； 也不要有敗壞君王的行為。
Don’t give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
31:4
Noli regibus, o Lamuel, noli regibus dare vinum, quia nullum secretum est ubi regnat ebrietas ;
利慕伊勒啊，君王喝酒，君王喝酒不相宜； 王子說濃酒在那裏也不相宜；
It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’
31:5
et ne forte bibant, et obliviscantur judiciorum, et mutent causam filiorum pauperis.
恐怕喝了就忘記律例， 顛倒一切困苦人的是非。
lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
31:6
Date siceram moerentibus, et vinum his qui amaro sunt animo.
可以把濃酒給將亡的人喝， 把清酒給苦心的人喝，
Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, and wine to the bitter in soul.
31:7
Bibant, et obliviscantur egestatis suae, et doloris sui non recordentur amplius.
讓他喝了，就忘記他的貧窮， 不再記念他的苦楚。
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
31:8
Aperi os tuum muto, et causis omnium filiorum qui pertranseunt.
你當為啞巴 開口， 為一切孤獨的伸冤。
Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
31:9
Aperi os tuum, decerne quod justum est, et judica inopem et pauperem.
你當開口按公義判斷， 為困苦和窮乏的辨屈。
Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.”

Mulierem fortem quis inveniet ? procul et de ultimis finibus pretium ejus.
