箴言 5
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1我兒，要留心我智慧的話語， 側耳聽我聰明的言詞，
1My son, attend to my wisdom, and incline thy ear to my prudence.
2為要使你謹守謀略， 嘴唇保存知識。
2That thou mayst keep thoughts, and thy lips may preserve instruction. Mind not the deceit of a woman.
3因為淫婦的嘴滴下蜂蜜； 她的口比油更滑，
3For the lips of a harlot are like a honeycomb dropping, and her throat is smoother than oil.
4至終卻苦似茵蔯， 快如兩刃的刀。
4But her end is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword.
5她的腳下入死地； 她腳步踏住陰間，
5Her feet go down into death, and her steps go in as far as hell.
6以致她找不着生命平坦的道。 她的路變遷不定， 自己還不知道。
6They walk not by the path of life, her steps are wandering, and unaccountable.
7眾子啊，現在要聽從我； 不可離棄我口中的話。
7Now therefore, my son, hear me, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8你所行的道要離她遠， 不可就近她的房門，
8Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the doors of her house.
9恐怕將你的尊榮給別人， 將你的歲月給殘忍的人；
9Give not thy honour to strangers, and thy years to the cruel.
10恐怕外人滿得你的力量， 你勞碌得來的，歸入外人的家；
10Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours be in another man’s house,
11終久，你皮肉和身體消毀， 你就悲歎，
11And thou mourn it the last, when thou shalt have spent thy flesh and thy body, and say:
12說：我怎麼恨惡訓誨， 心中藐視責備，
12Why have I hated instruction, and my heart consented not to reproof,
13也不聽從我師傅的話， 又不側耳聽那教訓我的人？
13And have not heard the voice of them that taught me, and have not inclined my ear to masters?
14我在 聖 會裏， 幾乎落在諸般惡中。
14I have almost been in all evil, in the midst of the church and of the congregation.
15你要喝自己池中的水， 飲自己井裏的活水。
15Drink water out of thy own cistern, and the streams of thy own well:
16你的泉源豈可漲溢在外？ 你的河水豈可流在街上？
16Let thy fountains be conveyed abroad, and in the streets divide thy waters.
17惟獨歸你一人， 不可與外人同用。
17Keep them to thyself alone, neither let strangers be partakers with thee.
18要使你的泉源蒙福； 要喜悅你幼年所娶的妻。
18Let thy vein be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of thy youth:
19她如可愛的麀鹿，可喜的母鹿； 願她的胸懷使你時時知足， 她的愛情使你常常戀慕。
19Let her be thy dearest hind, and most agreeable fawn: let her breasts inebriate thee at all times; he thou delighted continually with her love.
20我兒，你為何戀慕淫婦？ 為何抱外女的胸懷？
20Why art thou seduced, my son, by a strange woman, and art cherished in the bosom of another?
21因為，人所行的道都在耶和華眼前； 他也修平人一切的路。
21The Lord beholdeth the ways of man, and considereth all his steps.
22惡人必被自己的罪孽捉住； 他必被自己的罪惡如繩索纏繞。
22His own iniquities catch the wicked, and he is fast bound with the ropes of his own sins.
23他因不受訓誨就必死亡； 又因愚昧過甚，必走差了路。
23He shall die, because he hath not received instruction, and in the multitude of his folly he shall be deceived.
