拙者當學明哲、蠢者心當覺悟、

说：愚蒙人哪，你们要会悟灵明；愚昧人哪，你们当心里明白。

愚蒙人哪，你们要学习灵巧，愚昧人哪，你们的心要明辨。

愚蒙人哪，你们要学习灵巧，愚昧人哪，你们的心要明辨。

愚昧人啊，要学会谨慎！愚顽人啊，要慎思明辨！

愚蒙人哪！你们要学习精明；愚昧人哪！你们心里要明白事理。

无知的人哪，你们当获得聪明！愚昧的人哪，你们当领悟智慧！

說：愚蒙人哪，你們要會悟靈明；愚昧人哪，你們當心裏明白。

愚蒙人哪，你們要學習靈巧，愚昧人哪，你們的心要明辨。

無知的人哪，你們當獲得聰明！愚昧的人哪，你們當領悟智慧！

爾曹庸人、當知聰睿、愚者心宜通明、

愚者學智慧、拙者明厥心。

You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.

You who are childish, get some good sense. You who are foolish, set your hearts on getting it.

O simple ones, learn prudence; O fools, learn sense.

You simple people, use good judgment. You foolish people, show some understanding.

Learn to be shrewd, you who are inexperienced; develop common sense, you who are foolish.

You naive ones, understand prudence; And, you fools, understand wisdom!

O you simple ones, understand prudence, And you fools, be of an understanding heart.

O ye simple, understand prudence; And, ye fools, be of an understanding heart.

Learn to be shrewd, you who are inexperienced; develop common sense, you who are foolish.

O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

You who are naive, discern wisdom! And you fools, understand discernment!

You simple, understand prudence! You fools, be of an understanding heart!

曰、爾拙者悅於拙、侮慢者樂於侮慢、愚者厭惡知識、將至何時、

豈不知不義之人、必不得天主之國、勿自欺、凡行淫者、拜偶像者、姦人妻者、為孌童者、親男色者、盜竊者、沈湎者、詬詈者、勒索者、皆不得天主國、爾中有人、素亦如是、今賴主耶穌基督之名、及我天主之神、得洗滌成聖稱義、○

爾自言我富厚有財、無所匱缺、不知爾實可憫、困苦、貧乏、瞽目、裸身、我勸爾向我市火煉之金、使爾致富、又購白衣衣之、使可免裸身之恥、又求膏膏爾目、使爾得見、

使拙者靈明、少者獲知識謀畧、

我遣爾為明其目、俾棄暗就光、離撒但之權、歸於天主、使其因信我而罪得赦、於諸聖徒中獲業、

主之律法純全、可以蘇醒人心、主之法度真實、可以使愚人有智慧、

凡爾渴者、當來就水、無金者亦來、爾曹悉來購而食、雖無金亦可來購、雖不予以價值、亦可沽酒與乳、爾胡為以金以金原文作權銀購不足為食之物、胡為以勞而得者易不能使爾得飽之物、爾聽從我、可食嘉肴、得享肥甘、而中心歡暢、爾其傾耳就我而聽、則可得生、則可得生或作爾心則可蘇醒我與爾立永約、以所許大衛之恆恩恆恩或作實惠賜爾、

主將顯出、有若英雄、震怒發其熱心、有若戰士、暗鳴叱咤、奮力克敵、

誰為拙者、可入此、又對無知者曰、

民間無知者、爾曹當悟、愚蠢之輩、爾曹何時方明、

天主又選世之卑賤者、被藐視者、人所視為無有者、以廢世之有者、
