箴言 6
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1我兒，你若為朋友作保， 替外人擊掌，
1My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, thou hast engaged fast thy hand to a stranger.
2你就被口中的話語纏住， 被嘴裏的言語捉住。
2Thou art ensnared with the words of thy mouth, and caught with thy own words.
3我兒，你既落在朋友手中， 就當這樣行才可救自己： 你要自卑，去懇求你的朋友。
3Do therefore, my son, what I say, and deliver thyself: because thou art fallen into the hand of thy neighbour. Run about, make haste, stir up thy friend:
4不要容你的眼睛睡覺； 不要容你的眼皮打盹。
4Give not sleep to thy eyes, neither let thy eyelids slumber.
5要救自己，如鹿脫離 獵戶的 手， 如鳥脫離捕鳥人的手。
5Deliver thyself as a doe from the hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6懶惰人哪， 你去察看螞蟻的動作就可得智慧。
6Go to the ant, O sluggard, and consider her ways, and learn wisdom:
7螞蟻沒有元帥， 沒有官長，沒有君王，
7Which, although she hath no guide, nor master, nor captain,
8尚且在夏天預備食物， 在收割時聚斂糧食。
8Provideth her meat for herself in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
9懶惰人哪，你要睡到幾時呢？ 你何時睡醒呢？
9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou rise out of thy sleep?
10再睡片時，打盹片時， 抱着手躺臥片時，
10Thou wilt sleep a little, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to sleep:
11你的貧窮就必如強盜速來， 你的缺乏彷彿拿兵器的人來到。
11And want shall come upon thee, as a traveller, and poverty as a man armed. But if thou be diligent, thy harvest shall come as a fountain, and want shall flee far from thee.
12無賴的惡徒， 行動就用乖僻的口，
12A man that is an apostate, an unprofitable man, walketh with a perverse mouth,
13用眼傳神， 用腳示意， 用指點劃，
13He winketh with the eyes, presseth with the foot, speaketh with the finger.
14心中乖僻， 常設惡謀， 布散紛爭。
14With a wicked heart he deviseth evil, and at all times he soweth discord.
15所以，災難必忽然臨到他身； 他必頃刻敗壞，無法可治。
15To such a one his destruction shall presently come, and he shall suddenly be destroyed, and shall no longer have any remedy.
16耶和華所恨惡的有六樣， 連他心所憎惡的共有七樣：
16Six things there are, which the Lord hateth, and the seventh his soul detesteth:
17就是高傲的眼， 撒謊的舌， 流無辜人血的手，
17Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18圖謀惡計的心， 飛跑行惡的腳，
18A heart that deviseth wicked plots, feet that are swift to run into mischief,
19吐謊言的假見證， 並弟兄中布散紛爭的人。
19A deceitful witness that uttereth lies, and him that soweth discord among brethren.
20我兒，要謹守你父親的誡命； 不可離棄你母親的法則，
20My son, beep the commandments of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.
21要常繫在你心上， 掛在你項上。
21Bind them in thy heart continually, and put them about thy neck.
22你行走，它必引導你； 你躺臥，它必保守你； 你睡醒，它必與你談論。
22When thou walkest, let them go with thee: when thou sleepest, let them keep thee; and when thou awakest, talk with them.
23因為誡命是燈，法則是光， 訓誨的責備是生命的道，
23Because the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24能保你遠離惡婦， 遠離外女諂媚的舌頭。
24That they may keep thee from the evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of the stranger.
25你心中不要戀慕她的美色， 也不要被她眼皮勾引。
25Let not thy heart covet her beauty, be not caught with her winks:
26因為，妓女 能使人 只剩一塊餅； 淫婦獵取人寶貴的生命。
26For the price of a harlot is scarce one loaf: but the woman catcheth the precious soul of a man.
27人若懷裏搋火， 衣服豈能不燒呢？
27Can a man hide fire in his bosom, and his garments not burn?
28人若在火炭上走， 腳豈能不燙呢？
28Or can he walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be burnt?
29親近鄰舍之妻的，也是如此； 凡挨近她的，不免受罰。
29So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife, shall not be clean when he shall touch her.
30賊因飢餓偷竊充飢， 人不藐視他，
30The fault is not so great when a man hath stolen: for he stealeth to fill his hungry soul:
31若被找着，他必賠還七倍， 必將家中所有的盡都償還。
31And if he be taken he shall restore sevenfold, and shall give up all the substance of his house.
32與婦人行淫的，便是無知； 行這事的，必喪掉生命。
32But he that is an adulterer, for the folly of his heart shall destroy his own soul:
33他必受傷損，必被凌辱； 他的羞恥不得塗抹。
33He gathereth to himself shame and dishonour, and his reproach shall not be blotted out:
34因為人的嫉恨成了烈怒， 報仇的時候決不留情。
34Because the jealousy and rage of the husband will not spare in the day of revenge,
35甚麼贖價，他都不顧； 你雖送許多禮物，他也不肯干休。
35Nor will he yield to any man’s prayers, nor will he accept for satisfaction ever so many gifts.
