箴言 7
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
慎防淫婦的誘惑
7 我兒，要遵守我的話，
把我的誡命珍藏在心裡；
2 遵守我的誡命，你就可以存活；
遵守我的訓誨，好像護衛你眼中的瞳人。
3 要把它們繫在你的指頭上，
刻在你的心版上。
4 要對智慧說：“你是我的姊妹”，
要稱呼聰明為親人；
5 這樣行就可以保護你脫離淫亂的婦人，
脫離說諂媚話的妓女。
6 我在我家的窗戶內，
透過窗櫺往外觀看，
7 看見在愚蒙人中間，
在少年人（“少年人”原文作“眾子”）裡面，
我發覺有一個無知的少年人，
8 在街上經過，走近淫婦的住處，
向著她的家走去，
9 那時是黃昏、傍晚，
是在夜裡，天黑的時候。
10 看哪！有一個婦人來迎接他，
是妓女的打扮，心存詭詐。
11 這婦人喧嘩不停，不受約束；
她在家裡停不住腳。
12 她有時在街上，有時在廣場上，
或在任何角落旁邊藏伏。
13 她緊拉著那少年人，和他親嘴，
厚顏無恥地對他說：
14 “我曾許願要獻平安祭，
今天我剛還了我所許的願。
15 因此，我出來迎接你，
切切尋找你，終於找到你。
16 我已用毯子，埃及線織成的花紋布，
鋪了我的床；
17 又用沒藥、沉香和桂皮，
薰了我的榻。
18 來吧！我們來飽享愛情，直到天亮，
我們來在愛中盡情享樂。
19 因為我丈夫不在家，
遠行去了。
20 他手裡帶著錢袋，
要到月圓的時候才回家。”
21 淫婦用許多花言巧語引誘他，
用諂媚的嘴唇勾引他。
22 少年人就立刻跟隨她，
好像牛走向屠房，
又像愚妄人帶著鎖鍊去受刑罰，
23 直到箭矢射透他的肝；
他仿佛飛鳥投入網羅，
並不知道會喪失性命。
24 孩子們，現在你們要聽從我，
留心聽我口中的話。
25 你的心不可偏向淫婦的道路，
也不要迷戀她的路徑。
26 因為她使許多人倒斃，
被她殺害的實在無數。
27 她的家是通往陰間的路，
是下到死亡的宮房。
Proverbs 7
Christian Standard Bible
7 My son, obey my words,
and treasure my commands.(A)
2 Keep my commands and live,(B)
and guard my instructions
as you would the pupil of your eye.(C)
3 Tie them to your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.(D)
4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”(E)
and call understanding your relative.
5 She will keep you from a forbidden woman,
a wayward woman with her flattering talk.(F)
A Story of Seduction
6 At the window of my house
I looked through my lattice.(G)
7 I saw among the inexperienced,[a]
I noticed among the youths,
a young man lacking sense.
8 Crossing the street near her corner,
he strolled down the road to her house
9 at twilight, in the evening,
in the dark of the night.(H)
10 A woman came to meet him
dressed like a prostitute,(I)
having a hidden agenda.[b]
11 She is loud and defiant;(J)
her feet do not stay at home.(K)
12 Now in the street, now in the squares,(L)
she lurks at every corner.(M)
13 She grabs him and kisses him;
she brazenly says[c] to him,
14 “I’ve made fellowship offerings;
today I’ve fulfilled my vows.(N)
15 So I came out to meet you,
to search for you, and I’ve found you.
16 I’ve spread coverings on my bed(O)—
richly colored linen from Egypt.(P)
17 I’ve perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.(Q)
18 Come, let’s drink deeply of lovemaking until morning.(R)
Let’s feast on each other’s love!
19 My husband isn’t home;
he went on a long journey.
20 He took a bag of silver with him
and will come home at the time of the full moon.”
21 She seduces him with her persistent pleading;
she lures with her flattering talk.
22 He follows her impulsively
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer bounding toward a trap[d]
23 until an arrow pierces its[e] liver,(S)
like a bird darting into a snare(T)—
he doesn’t know it will cost him his life.
