Proverbs 7
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
1我儿,你要遵守我的言语, 将我的命令存记在心。
2Keep my commandments and live, and my teaching as the apple of thine eye.
2遵守我的命令就得存活; 保守我的法则, 好像保守眼中的瞳人,
3Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thy heart.
3系在你指头上, 刻在你心版上。
4Say unto wisdom: 'Thou art my sister', and call understanding thy kinswoman;
4对智慧说:你是我的姊妹, 称呼聪明为你的亲人,
5That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the alien woman that maketh smooth her words.
5她就保你远离淫妇, 远离说谄媚话的外女。
6For at the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice;
6我曾在我房屋的窗户内, 从我窗棂之间往外观看:
7And I beheld among the thoughtless ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
7见愚蒙人内,少年人中, 分明有一个无知的少年人,
8Passing through the street near her corner, and he went the way to her house;
8从街上经过,走近淫妇的巷口, 直往通她家的路去,
9In the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the blackness of night and the darkness.
9在黄昏,或晚上, 或半夜,或黑暗之中。
10And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart.
10看哪,有一个妇人来迎接他, 是妓女的打扮,有诡诈的心思。
11She is riotous and rebellious, her feet abide not in her house;
11这妇人喧嚷,不守约束, 在家里停不住脚,
12Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, and lieth in wait at every corner.
12有时在街市上,有时在宽阔处, 或在各巷口蹲伏,
13So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face she said unto him:
13拉住那少年人,与他亲嘴, 脸无羞耻对他说:
14'Sacrifices of peace-offerings were due from me; this day have I paid my vows.
14平安祭在我这里, 今日才还了我所许的愿。
15Therefore came I forth to meet thee, to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
15因此,我出来迎接你, 恳切求见你的面,恰巧遇见了你。
16I have decked my couch with coverlets, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
16我已经用绣花毯子 和 埃及 线织的花纹布铺了我的床。
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
17我又用没药、沉香、桂皮 薰了我的榻。
18Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us solace ourselves with loves.
18你来,我们可以饱享爱情,直到早晨; 我们可以彼此亲爱欢乐。
19For my husband is not at home, he is gone a long journey;
19因为我丈夫不在家,出门行远路;
20He hath taken the bag of money with him; he will come home at the full moon.'
20他手拿银囊,必到月望才回家。
21With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield, with the blandishment of her lips she enticeth him away.
21淫妇用许多巧言诱他随从, 用谄媚的嘴逼他同行。
22He goeth after her straightway, as an ox that goeth to the slaughter, or as one in fetters to the correction of the fool;
22少年人立刻跟随她,好像牛往宰杀之地; 又像愚昧人带锁链去受刑罚,
23Till an arrow strike through his liver; as a bird hasteneth to the snare — and knoweth not that it is at the cost of his life.
23直等箭穿他的肝; 如同雀鸟急入网罗,却不知是自丧己命。
24Now therefore, O ye children, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
24众子啊,现在要听从我, 留心听我口中的话。
25Let not thy heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
25你的心不可偏向淫妇的道, 不要入她的迷途。
26For she hath cast down many wounded; yea, a mighty host are all her slain.
26因为,被她伤害仆倒的不少; 被她杀戮的而且甚多。
27Her house is the way to the nether-world, going down to the chambers of death.
27她的家是在阴间之路, 下到死亡之宫。
