Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1My son, attend to my wisdom, and incline thy ear to my prudence.
1我儿,要留心我智慧的话语, 侧耳听我聪明的言词,
2That thou mayst keep thoughts, and thy lips may preserve instruction. Mind not the deceit of a woman.
2为要使你谨守谋略, 嘴唇保存知识。
3For the lips of a harlot are like a honeycomb dropping, and her throat is smoother than oil.
3因为淫妇的嘴滴下蜂蜜; 她的口比油更滑,
4But her end is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword.
4至终却苦似茵 , 快如两刃的刀。
5Her feet go down into death, and her steps go in as far as hell.
5她的脚下入死地; 她脚步踏住阴间,
6They walk not by the path of life, her steps are wandering, and unaccountable.
6以致她找不着生命平坦的道。 她的路变迁不定, 自己还不知道。
7Now therefore, my son, hear me, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
7众子啊,现在要听从我; 不可离弃我口中的话。
8Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the doors of her house.
8你所行的道要离她远, 不可就近她的房门,
9Give not thy honour to strangers, and thy years to the cruel.
9恐怕将你的尊荣给别人, 将你的岁月给残忍的人;
10Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours be in another man’s house,
10恐怕外人满得你的力量, 你劳碌得来的,归入外人的家;
11And thou mourn it the last, when thou shalt have spent thy flesh and thy body, and say:
11终久,你皮肉和身体消毁, 你就悲叹,
12Why have I hated instruction, and my heart consented not to reproof,
12说:我怎么恨恶训诲, 心中藐视责备,
13And have not heard the voice of them that taught me, and have not inclined my ear to masters?
13也不听从我师傅的话, 又不侧耳听那教训我的人?
14I have almost been in all evil, in the midst of the church and of the congregation.
14我在 圣 会里, 几乎落在诸般恶中。
15Drink water out of thy own cistern, and the streams of thy own well:
15你要喝自己池中的水, 饮自己井里的活水。
16Let thy fountains be conveyed abroad, and in the streets divide thy waters.
16你的泉源岂可涨溢在外? 你的河水岂可流在街上?
17Keep them to thyself alone, neither let strangers be partakers with thee.
17惟独归你一人, 不可与外人同用。
18Let thy vein be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of thy youth:
18要使你的泉源蒙福; 要喜悦你幼年所娶的妻。
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.
19她如可爱的麀鹿,可喜的母鹿; 愿她的胸怀使你时时知足, 她的爱情使你常常恋慕。
20Why art thou seduced, my son, by a strange woman, and art cherished in the bosom of another?
20我儿,你为何恋慕淫妇? 为何抱外女的胸怀?
21The Lord beholdeth the ways of man, and considereth all his steps.
21因为,人所行的道都在耶和华眼前; 他也修平人一切的路。
22His own iniquities catch the wicked, and he is fast bound with the ropes of his own sins.
22恶人必被自己的罪孽捉住; 他必被自己的罪恶如绳索缠绕。
23He shall die, because he hath not received instruction, and in the multitude of his folly he shall be deceived.
23他因不受训诲就必死亡; 又因愚昧过甚,必走差了路。
