The Words of Lemuel
1利慕伊勒王的言語，是他母親教訓他的真言。
1The words of King Lemuel, the pronouncement which his mother taught him:
2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？3不要將你的精力給婦女；也不要有敗壞君王的行為。4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；5恐怕喝了就忘記律例，顛倒一切困苦人的是非。6可以把濃酒給將亡的人喝，把清酒給苦心的人喝，7讓他喝了，就忘記他的貧窮，不再記念他的苦楚。8你當為啞巴或譯：不能自辯的開口，為一切孤獨的伸冤。9你當開口按公義判斷，為困苦和窮乏的辨屈。
2What, my son?
And what, son of my womb?
And what, son of my vows? 3Do not give your strength to women,
Or your ways to that which destroys kings. 4It is not for kings, Lemuel,
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Or for rulers to desire intoxicating drink, 5Otherwise they will drink and forget what is decreed,
And pervert the rights of all the needy. 6Give intoxicating drink to one who is perishing,
And wine to one whose life is bitter. 7Let him drink and forget his poverty,
And remember his trouble no more. 8Open your mouth for the people who cannot speak,
For the rights of all the unfortunate. 9Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And defend the rights of the poor and needy.
And what, son of my womb?
And what, son of my vows? 3Do not give your strength to women,
Or your ways to that which destroys kings. 4It is not for kings, Lemuel,
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Or for rulers to desire intoxicating drink, 5Otherwise they will drink and forget what is decreed,
And pervert the rights of all the needy. 6Give intoxicating drink to one who is perishing,
And wine to one whose life is bitter. 7Let him drink and forget his poverty,
And remember his trouble no more. 8Open your mouth for the people who cannot speak,
For the rights of all the unfortunate. 9Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Description of a Worthy Woman
10才德的婦人誰能得著呢？她的價值遠勝過珍珠。11她丈夫心裏倚靠她，必不缺少利益；12她一生使丈夫有益無損。13她尋找羊羢和麻，甘心用手做工。14她好像商船從遠方運糧來，15未到黎明她就起來，把食物分給家中的人，將當做的工分派婢女。16她想得田地就買來；用手所得之利栽種葡萄園。17她以能力束腰，使膀臂有力。18她覺得所經營的有利；她的燈終夜不滅。19她手拿撚線竿，手把紡線車。20她張手賙濟困苦人，伸手幫補窮乏人。21她不因下雪為家裏的人擔心，因為全家都穿著朱紅衣服。22她為自己製作繡花毯子；她的衣服是細麻和紫色布做的。23她丈夫在城門口與本地的長老同坐，為眾人所認識。24她做細麻布衣裳出賣，又將腰帶賣與商家。25能力和威儀是她的衣服；她想到日後的景況就喜笑。26她開口就發智慧；她舌上有仁慈的法則。27她觀察家務，並不吃閒飯。28她的兒女起來稱她有福；她的丈夫也稱讚她，29說：才德的女子很多，惟獨你超過一切。30艷麗是虛假的，美容是虛浮的；惟敬畏耶和華的婦女必得稱讚。31願她享受操作所得的；願她的工作在城門口榮耀她。
10An excellent wife, who can find her?
For her worth is far above jewels. 11The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain. 12She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life. 13She looks for wool and linen,
And works with her hands in delight. 14She is like merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar. 15And she rises while it is still night
And gives food to her household,
And portions to her attendants. 16She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17She surrounds her waist with strength
And makes her arms strong. 18She senses that her profit is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night. 19She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle. 20She extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy. 21She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are clothed with scarlet. 22She makes coverings for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple. 23Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land. 24She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen. 25Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future. 26She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. 27She watches over the activities of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness. 28Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying: 29“Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.” 30Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. 31Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates.
