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。

箴言 6
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
替人作保要谨慎
6 我儿，如果你作朋友的保证人，
替外人击掌担保；
2 如果你给自己口里的话缠累，
给你口里的话绑住；
3 我儿，既然你落在你朋友的手中，
就要这样行，好解救你自己，
你要自己降卑，去恳求你的朋友。
4 不要让你的眼睛睡觉，
不要容你的眼睑打盹；
5 要解救自己，像羚羊脱离猎人的手，
像飞鸟脱离捕鸟人的手。
不可懒惰
6 懒惰人哪！你去看看蚂蚁，
察看牠们所行的，就可得着智慧。
7 蚂蚁没有元帅，
没有官长，也没有统治者，
8 尚且在夏天预备食物，
在收割的时候积聚粮食。
9 懒惰人哪，你要睡到几时呢？
你甚么时候才睡醒呢？
10 再睡片时，打盹片时，
抱着手躺卧片时，
11 你的贫穷就必像强盗来到，
你的缺乏就必像拿兵器的人来到。
耶和华憎恶的事
12 无赖汉、坏人
到处使用欺诈的口；
13 他以眼传神，用脚示意，
用指头指点，
14 心存乖谬，图谋恶事，
常常散布纷争。
15 因此，灾难必忽然临到，
他必突然毁灭，无法挽救。
16 耶和华恨恶的事有六样，
连他心里厌恶的，共有七样，
17 就是高傲的眼、
说谎的舌头、
流无辜人血的手、
18 图谋恶事的心、
快跑行恶的脚、
19 说谎的假证人，
和在弟兄中散布纷争的人。
犯奸淫的必惹祸患
20 我儿，要谨守你父亲的诫命，
不可离弃你母亲的训诲。
21 要把它们常常系在你的心上，
绑在你的颈项上。
22 你行走的时候，它们必引导你；
你睡觉的时候，它们必保护你；
你醒来的时候，它们必和你交谈。
23 因为诫命是灯，训诲是光，
出于管教的责备是生命之道，
24 能保护你远离邪恶的女人，
远离妓女谄媚的舌头。
25 你心里不要贪恋她的美色，
也不要给她的媚眼勾引。
26 因为妓女使人只剩一块饼，
通奸的妇人（“通奸的妇人”直译是“人的妻子”）猎取人宝贵的生命。
27 如果人把火藏在怀里，
他的衣服怎能不烧着呢？
28 如果人在火炭上行走，
他的脚怎能不灼伤呢？
29 凡是和别人的妻子通奸的，也是这样；
凡是亲近她的，都必不免受罚。
30 盗贼因饥饿偷窃充饥，
人不会鄙视他。
31 但如果他被捉住，就要七倍偿还，
要把他家里所有的财物都交出来。
32 和妇人通奸的，实在无知；
行这事的，是自我毁灭。
33 他必遭受击打，被凌辱，
他的耻辱永不能涂抹。
34 因为嫉妒激起了丈夫的烈怒，
使他在报仇的时候，必不留情。
35 任何赔偿，他都不接受，
纵使你馈送许多礼物，他也不肯罢休。
Proverbs 6
Expanded Bible
Dangers of Being Foolish
6 My ·child [L son], ·be careful about giving [L if you make] a guarantee for ·somebody else’s loan [L your neighbor/friend],
·about promising to pay what someone else owes [L shaking hands with a stranger in agreement; 11:15; 17:18; 20:16; 22:26; 27:13].
2 You ·might [or will] get trapped by what you say;
you ·might [or will] be caught by ·your own words [or what you say].
3 My ·child [L son], if you have done this and are under your ·neighbor’s [or friend’s] control,
here is how to ·get free [extricate yourself].
·Don’t be proud [L Humble yourself]. Go to your ·neighbor [or friend]
and ·beg to be free from your promise [L press/urge your neighbor/friend].
4 Don’t ·go to [L let your eyes] sleep
or ·even rest your eyes [L let your eyelids/pupils slumber],
5 but ·free [extricate] yourself like a ·deer [gazelle] running from ·a hunter [L his hand],
like a bird flying away from a ·trapper [fowler].
6 Go watch the ants, you lazy person.
Watch ·what they do [L its paths] and ·be [or become] wise.
7 Ants have no commander,
no leader or ruler,
8 but they ·store up [get their] food in the summer
and gather their ·supplies [provisions] at harvest.
9 How long will you lie there, you lazy person?
When will you get up from sleeping?
10 ·You sleep a little; you take a nap [L “A little sleep, a little slumber”].
·You fold your hands and [L “A little folding of the arms to…”] lie down to rest.
11 So ·you will be as poor as if you had been robbed [L poverty will come on you like a robber];
·you will have as little as if you had been held up [L deprivation like a shielded warrior].
12 Some people are ·wicked and no good [worthless and guilty].
They go around ·telling lies [L with crooked mouths],
13 winking with their eyes, ·tapping with [or scraping] their feet,
and ·making signs [pointing; gesturing] with their fingers [C a reference to secretive plans or even magic].
14 They ·make evil plans in their hearts [L are perverse in their hearts and determined to do evil]
and are always starting ·arguments [conflicts].
15 So ·trouble [disaster] will strike them in an instant;
suddenly they will be so ·hurt [L broken] no one can ·help [L heal] them.
16 There are six things the Lord hates.
There are seven things ·he cannot stand [L that are an abomination to his soul]:
17 ·a proud look [haughty eyes],
a lying tongue,
hands that ·kill [L spill the blood of] innocent people,
18 a ·mind [heart] that thinks up evil plans,
feet that are quick to ·do [L run to] evil,
19 a witness who lies,
and someone who starts ·arguments [conflicts; fights] among·families [brothers; Ps. 133].
Warning About Adultery
20 My son, ·keep [protect] your father’s commands,
and don’t ·forget [L abandon; forsake] your mother’s ·teaching [instruction].
21 ·Keep their words in mind [L Bind them to your heart] forever
·as though you had them tied [fasten them] around your neck.
22 They will ·guide [lead] you when you walk.
They will ·guard [protect] you when you sleep.
They will ·speak to you [or occupy your attention] when you are awake.
23 These commands are like a lamp;
this ·teaching [instruction] is like a light [C making things clear].
And ·the correction that comes from them [L disciplined correction]
·will help you have [L is the path of] life.
24 They will ·keep [guard] you from ·sinful women [the evil woman]
and from the ·pleasing words [L flattering tongue] of ·another man’s unfaithful wife [L the foreign woman].
25 Don’t desire her because she is beautiful.
Don’t let her capture you by ·the way she looks at you [L her eyelashes].
26 A prostitute will ·treat you like [or cost you] a loaf of bread,
·and [or but] a ·woman who takes part in adultery [married woman] ·may cost you [L hunts; stalks] your life.
27 You cannot ·carry [or scoop] hot coals ·against your chest [or into your lap]
without burning your clothes,
28 and you cannot walk on hot coals
without burning your feet.
29 The same is true if you ·have sexual relations with [L go to] ·another man’s wife [L the wife of a neighbor/friend].
·Anyone who does so will be punished [L All who touch her will not go unpunished].
30 People don’t ·hate [despise] a thief
when he steals because he is hungry.
31 But if he is caught, he must pay back ·seven times what he stole [L sevenfold],
and ·it may cost him everything he owns [L he must give the riches of his house].
32 A man who takes part in adultery ·has no sense [L lacks heart];
he will destroy himself.
33 He will ·be beaten up and disgraced [L find affliction and scorn],
and his ·shame [reproach] will never ·go away [L be blotted out].
34 Jealousy makes a husband very angry,
and he will ·have no pity [not forgive] when he gets revenge.
35 He will accept no payment for the wrong;
he will ·take no amount of money [not take a bribe no matter how large].
