箴言 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
日常警言
6 孩子啊，你若為鄰人作保，
為外人擊掌立約；
2 你若被自己口中的話套住，
被自己的諾言纏住，
3 孩子啊，你已落入鄰人的手中，
你當如此自救：
要謙卑地向他求情。
4 勿讓你的眼睛睡覺，
莫叫你的眼皮打盹。
5 要救自己脫離困境，
像羚羊掙脫獵人的手，
飛鳥逃脫捕鳥人的手。
6 懶惰的人啊，去看看螞蟻，
觀察牠的生活，就會有智慧。
7 螞蟻沒有元帥，
沒有官長，
也沒有君王，
8 卻在夏季儲備糧食，
在收割時積聚食物。
9 懶惰的人啊，你要躺到何時？
要睡到何時才起床？
10 再睡一會兒，再打個盹兒，
抱著手躺一會兒，
11 貧窮要像盜賊一樣攻擊你，
缺乏要像武士一樣撲向你。
12 無賴與惡人滿口詭詐，
13 擠眉弄眼，手腳示意，
14 心術不正，設下詭計，惹事生非。
15 因此，災難必突然臨到，
他們頃刻之間遭到毀滅，
無可挽救。
16 耶和華所憎惡的事有六樣，
連祂厭惡的事共有七樣：
17 高傲的眼睛，
撒謊的舌頭，
殺害無辜的手，
18 圖謀詭計的心，
奔跑作惡的腳，
19 撒謊的假證人和在弟兄中挑起爭端的人。
20 孩子啊，要遵守你父親的誡命，
不可背棄你母親的訓言。
21 你要常常將這些刻在心坎上，
繫在頸項上。
22 你行走，它們必引領你；
你躺臥，它們必護衛你；
你醒來，它們必與你交談。
23 因為誡命是燈，訓言是光，
管教責備是生命之道，
24 能使你遠離邪惡的女人，
避開油嘴滑舌的妓女。
25 你的心不要貪戀她的美色，
也不要被她的媚眼所迷惑，
26 因為娼妓會使人傾家蕩產[a]，
淫婦會獵殺人寶貴的生命。
27 人若將火藏在懷中，
哪能不燒著衣服呢？
28 人若行走在火炭上，
哪能不燙傷雙腳呢？
29 與別人妻子通姦也是這樣，
凡靠近她的必難逃罪責。
30 賊因充饑而偷，
沒有人藐視他；
31 但若被抓到，他要償還七倍，
就是傾家蕩產也要償還。
32 和有夫之婦通姦的，
實在愚不可及，
他是自尋死路。
33 他必挨打，受辱，
他的恥辱永難抹去。
34 那丈夫妒火燃燒，
報仇時絕不留情。
35 賠他再多財物，他也不會接受；
送他再多禮物，他都不肯甘休。

Dangers of Debt
6 My son, don’t make yourself responsible for the debts of others. Don’t make such deals with friends or strangers. 2 If you do, your words will trap you. 3 You will be under the power of other people, so you must go and free yourself. Beg them to free you from that debt. 4 Don’t wait to rest or sleep. 5 Escape from that trap like a deer running from a hunter. Free yourself like a bird flying from a trap.
The Dangers of Being Lazy
6 You lazy people, you should watch what the ants do and learn from them. 7 Ants have no ruler, no boss, and no leader. 8 But in the summer, ants gather all of their food and save it. So when winter comes, there is plenty to eat.
9 You lazy people, how long are you going to lie there? When will you get up? 10 You say, “I need a rest. I think I’ll take a short nap.” 11 But then you sleep and sleep and become poorer and poorer. Soon you will have nothing. It will be as if a thief came and stole everything you owned.
Troublemakers
12 Some people are just troublemakers. They are always thinking up some crooked plan and telling lies. 13 They use secret signals to cheat people; they wink their eyes, shuffle their feet, and point a finger. 14 They are always planning to do something bad. 15 But they will be punished. Disaster will strike, and they will be destroyed. There will be no one to help them.
What the Lord Hates
16 The Lord hates these seven things:
17 eyes that show pride,
tongues that tell lies,
hands that kill innocent people,
18 hearts that plan evil things to do,
feet that run to do evil,
19 witnesses in court who tell lies,
and anyone who causes family members to fight.
Warning Against Adultery
20 My son, remember your father’s command, and don’t forget your mother’s teaching. 21 Remember their words always. Tie them around your neck and keep them over your heart. 22 Let this teaching lead you wherever you go. It will watch over you while you sleep. And when you wake up, it will give you good advice.
23 Your parents give you commands and teachings that are like lights to show you the right way. This teaching corrects you and trains you to follow the path to life. 24 It stops you from going to an evil woman, and it protects you from the smooth talk of another man’s wife. 25 Such a woman might be beautiful, but don’t let that beauty tempt you. Don’t let her eyes capture you. 26 A prostitute might cost a loaf of bread, but the wife of another man could cost you your life. 27 If you drop a hot coal in your lap, your clothes will be burned. 28 If you step on one, your feet will be burned. 29 If you sleep with another man’s wife, you will be punished.
30-31 A hungry man might steal to fill his stomach. If he is caught, he must pay seven times more than he stole. It might cost him everything he owns, but other people understand. They don’t lose all their respect for him. 32 But a man who commits adultery is a fool. He brings about his own destruction. 33 He will suffer disease and disgrace and never be free from the shame. 34 The woman’s husband will be jealous and angry and do everything he can to get revenge. 35 No payment—no amount of money—will stop him.

Warnings Against Folly
6 My son,(A) if you have put up security(B) for your neighbor,(C)
if you have shaken hands in pledge(D) for a stranger,
2 you have been trapped by what you said,
ensnared by the words of your mouth.
3 So do this, my son, to free yourself,
since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands:
Go—to the point of exhaustion—[a]
and give your neighbor no rest!
4 Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.(E)
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle(F) from the hand of the hunter,(G)
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.(H)
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;(I)
consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer(J)
and gathers its food at harvest.(K)
9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard?(L)
When will you get up from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest(M)—
11 and poverty(N) will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.
12 A troublemaker and a villain,
who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
13 who winks maliciously with his eye,(O)
signals with his feet
and motions with his fingers,(P)
14 who plots evil(Q) with deceit in his heart—
he always stirs up conflict.(R)
15 Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant;(S)
he will suddenly(T) be destroyed—without remedy.(U)
16 There are six things the Lord hates,(V)
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,(W)
a lying tongue,(X)
hands that shed innocent blood,(Y)
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,(Z)
19 a false witness(AA) who pours out lies(AB)
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.(AC)
Warning Against Adultery
20 My son,(AD) keep your father’s command
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.(AE)
21 Bind them always on your heart;
fasten them around your neck.(AF)
22 When you walk, they will guide you;
when you sleep, they will watch over you;
when you awake, they will speak to you.
23 For this command is a lamp,
this teaching is a light,(AG)
and correction and instruction
are the way to life,(AH)
24 keeping you from your neighbor’s wife,
from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.(AI)
25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty
or let her captivate you with her eyes.
26 For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread,
but another man’s wife preys on your very life.(AJ)
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned?
28 Can a man walk on hot coals
without his feet being scorched?
29 So is he who sleeps(AK) with another man’s wife;(AL)
no one who touches her will go unpunished.
30 People do not despise a thief if he steals
to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.
31 Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,(AM)
though it costs him all the wealth of his house.
32 But a man who commits adultery(AN) has no sense;(AO)
whoever does so destroys himself.
33 Blows and disgrace are his lot,
and his shame will never(AP) be wiped away.
