1. 1.所罗门 我与他人一样也是凡人，和众人一样，是大地上第一人之后的子孙；在母亲的子宫里，我也是由血肉构成的，Solomon Like Other Mortals I also am mortal, like all men, a descendant of the first-formed child of earth; and in the womb of a mother I was molded into flesh,💡
2. 2.在十个月的期间，血肉构成，从男人的一滴种子和婚姻的欢愉中而来。within the period of ten months, compacted with blood, from the seed of a man and the pleasure of marriage.💡
3. 3.我出生时，开始呼吸着大众呼吸的空气，坠落于同类的大地，我的第一声就是哭泣，和所有人一样。And when I was born, I began to breathe the common air, and fell upon the kindred earth, and my first sound was a cry, like that of all.💡
4. 4.我被小心地用襁褓包裹着抚养长大。I was nursed with care in swaddling cloths.💡
5. 5.因为没有一位君王有与众不同的起源；For no king has had a different beginning of existence;💡
6. 6.人类所有人都只有一个进入生命的入口，也只有一个共同的离开。there is for all mankind one entrance into life, and a common departure.💡
7. 7.所罗门敬畏智慧 于是我祈祷，得到理解；我呼求神，智慧的灵就来到我。Solomon’s Respect for Wisdom Therefore I prayed, and understanding was given me; I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.💡
8. 8.我宁愿选择她也不愿选择权杖和王座，我也以为财富在她面前算不了什么。I preferred her to scepters and thrones, and I accounted wealth as nothing in comparison with her.💡
9. 9.我也没有将她比作任何无价的宝石，因为在她眼中所有的金子不过是微小的沙粒，银子在她面前不过是泥土。Neither did I liken to her any priceless gem, because all gold is but a little sand in her sight, and silver will be accounted as clay before her.💡
10. 10.我比健康和美丽更爱她，我宁愿选择她也不愿选择光明，因为她的光辉永不止息。I loved her more than health and beauty, and I chose to have her rather than light, because her radiance never ceases.💡
11. 11.一切美好的事物都随她而来，难以计数的财富都在她的手中。All good things came to me along with her, and in her hands uncounted wealth.💡
12. 12.我曾因他们所有人而欢喜，因为智慧引导他们，但我不知道她是他们的母亲。I rejoiced in them all, because wisdom leads them; but I did not know that she was their mother.💡
13. 13.我无伪地学习，也无吝地传授；我不隐藏她的财富，I learned without guile and I impart without grudging; I do not hide her wealth,💡
14. 14.因为这是为人所存的不朽财宝，得着它的人就得到了与神为友，并因所受的教训而得称赞的恩赐。for it is an unfailing treasure for men; those who get it obtain friendship with God, commended for the gifts that come from instruction.💡
15. 15.所罗门祈求智慧 愿神使我说话有分寸，思想配得上所受的恩典，因为他是智慧的引导者，也是智者的纠正者。Solomon Prays for Wisdom May God grant that I speak with judgment and have thoughts worthy of what I have received, for he is the guide even of wisdom and the corrector of the wise.💡
16. 16.我们和我们的言语都在他手中，所有的聪明和技艺也都在他手中。For both we and our words are in his hand, as are all understanding and skill in crafts.💡
17. 17.因为他使我明白了万物的存在，知道世界的构造和元素的作用；For it is he who gave me unerring knowledge of what exists, to know the structure of the world and the activity of the elements;💡
18. 18.时之始终与中间，夏冬之交替与四季之更替，the beginning and end and middle of times, the alternations of the solstices and the changes of the seasons,💡
19. 19.一年中的循环和星辰的星座，the cycles of the year and the constellations of the stars,💡
20. 20.动物的天性和野兽的性情，灵的力量和人的推理，植物的种类和根的功效；the natures of animals and the tempers of wild beasts, the powers of spirits and the reasonings of men, the varieties of plants and the virtues of roots;💡
21. 21.我既知道隐秘的，也知道显明的，I learned both what is secret and what is manifest,💡
22. 22.因为造物的智慧教导了我。她本身的性质就是有一种聪明、圣洁、独特、多样、微妙、灵活、清晰、纯洁、分明、不可侵犯、爱好美善、锐利、不可抗拒的精神。for wisdom, the fashioner of all things, taught me. The Nature of Wisdom For in her there is a spirit that is intelligent, holy, unique, manifold, subtle, mobile, clear, unpolluted, distinct, invulnerable, loving the good, keen, irresistible,💡
23. 23.仁慈的、人道的、坚定的、可靠的、无忧的、全能的、监管一切的、并且能够穿透所有聪明纯洁最微妙的灵魂。beneficent, humane, steadfast, sure, free from anxiety, all-powerful, overseeing all, and penetrating through all spirits that are intelligent and pure and most subtle.💡
24. 24.因为智慧比任何运动都更灵活，正是由于她的纯洁，她渗透并穿透一切事物。For wisdom is more mobile than any motion; because of her pureness she pervades and penetrates all things.💡
25. 25.因为她是上帝力量的一缕气息，也是全能者荣耀的纯洁流露；因此，任何不洁之物都不能进入她。For she is a breath of the power of God, and a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty; therefore nothing defiled gains entrance into her.💡
26. 26.因为她是永恒光明的反映，是上帝工作的无瑕镜子，也是祂的良善的影像。For she is a reflection of eternal light, a spotless mirror of the working of God, and an image of his goodness.💡
27. 27.她虽然独一，却能成就一切，在不改变自己的情况下，她使万物更新，在各世各代，她进入圣洁的灵魂，使他们成为上帝的朋友和先知；Though she is but one, she can do all things, and while remaining in herself, she renews all things; in every generation she passes into holy souls and makes them friends of God, and prophets;💡
28. 28.因为上帝最爱那些用智慧生活的人。for God loves nothing so much as the man who lives with wisdom.💡
29. 29.因为她比太阳更美丽，胜过所有星辰的光辉，与光相比，她被发现更为优秀，For she is more beautiful than the sun, and excels every constellation of the stars. Compared with the light she is found to be superior,💡
30. 30.因为黑夜接续于白天，但邪恶不能战胜智慧。for it is succeeded by the night, but against wisdom evil does not prevail.💡
