Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1My son, keep my words, and lay up my precepts with thee. Son,
1我兒，你要遵守我的言語， 將我的命令存記在心。
2Keep my commandments, and thou shalt live: and my law as the apple of thy eye:
2遵守我的命令就得存活； 保守我的法則， 好像保守眼中的瞳人，
3Bind it upon thy fingers, write it upon the tables of thy heart.
3繫在你指頭上， 刻在你心版上。
4Say to wisdom: Thou art my sister: and call prudence thy friend,
4對智慧說：你是我的姊妹， 稱呼聰明為你的親人，
5That she may keep thee from the woman that is not thine, and from the stranger who sweeteneth her words.
5她就保你遠離淫婦， 遠離說諂媚話的外女。
6For I look out of the window of my house through the lattice,
6我曾在我房屋的窗戶內， 從我窗欞之間往外觀看：
7And I see little ones, I behold a foolish young man,
7見愚蒙人內，少年人中， 分明有一個無知的少年人，
8Who passeth through the street by the corner, and goeth nigh the way of her house.
8從街上經過，走近淫婦的巷口， 直往通她家的路去，
9In the dark, when it grows late, in the darkness and obscurity of the night,
9在黃昏，或晚上， 或半夜，或黑暗之中。
10And behold a woman meeteth him in harlot’s attire prepared to deceive souls; talkative and wandering,
10看哪，有一個婦人來迎接他， 是妓女的打扮，有詭詐的心思。
11Not bearing to be quiet, not able to abide still at home,
11這婦人喧嚷，不守約束， 在家裏停不住腳，
12Now abroad, now in the streets, now lying in wait near the corners.
12有時在街市上，有時在寬闊處， 或在各巷口蹲伏，
13And catching the young man, she kisseth him, and with an impudent face, flattereth, saying:
13拉住那少年人，與他親嘴， 臉無羞恥對他說：
14I vowed victims for prosperity, this day I have paid my vows.
14平安祭在我這裏， 今日才還了我所許的願。
15Therefore I am come out to meet thee, desirous to see thee, and I have found thee.
15因此，我出來迎接你， 懇切求見你的面，恰巧遇見了你。
16I have woven my bed with cords, I have covered it with painted tapestry, brought from Egypt.
16我已經用繡花毯子 和 埃及 線織的花紋布鋪了我的床。
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
17我又用沒藥、沉香、桂皮 薰了我的榻。
18Come, let us be inebriated with the breasts, and let us enjoy the desired embraces, till the day appear.
18你來，我們可以飽享愛情，直到早晨； 我們可以彼此親愛歡樂。
19For my husband is not at home, he is gone a very long journey.
19因為我丈夫不在家，出門行遠路；
20He took with him a bag of money: he mill return home the day of the full moon.
20他手拿銀囊，必到月望才回家。
21She entangled him with many words, and drew him away with the flattery of her lips.
21淫婦用許多巧言誘他隨從， 用諂媚的嘴逼他同行。
22Immediately he followeth her as an ox led to be a victim, and as a lamb playing the wanton, and not knowing that he is drawn like a fool to bonds,
22少年人立刻跟隨她，好像牛往宰殺之地； 又像愚昧人帶鎖鍊去受刑罰，
23Till the arrow pierce his liver: as if a bird should make haste to the snare, and knoweth not that his life is in danger.
23直等箭穿他的肝； 如同雀鳥急入網羅，卻不知是自喪己命。
24Now therefore, my son, hear me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
24眾子啊，現在要聽從我， 留心聽我口中的話。
25Let not thy mind be drawn away in her ways: neither be thou deceived with her paths.
25你的心不可偏向淫婦的道， 不要入她的迷途。
26For she hath cast down many wounded, and the strongest have been slain by her.
26因為，被她傷害仆倒的不少； 被她殺戮的而且甚多。
27Her house is the way to hell, reaching even to the inner chambers of death.
27她的家是在陰間之路， 下到死亡之宮。
