箴言:Chapter 6

箴言	Proverbs
¹我儿，你如果为你的朋友作保，或为外人击掌；	¹My son, if you have stood bail for your neighbor or guaranteed the word of a stranger;
²你如果为你口中说的话所连累，为你口中的言词所束缚，	²if you have committed yourself with your own lips, know that you have trapped yourself with your own words.
³那么，我儿，你既然已陷在你友人的手中，你就该逃脱，该这样做：火速前去，央求你的友人，	³Then do this, my son: release yourself. If you have fallen into the hands of your neighbor, go speedily, kneel down and plead with him;
⁴不要合上眼睛睡觉，也不要垂下眼睑假寐，	⁴do not give sleep to your eyes or rest to your eyelids.

⁶懒汉，你去看看蚂蚁，观察牠的作风，便可得些智识：	⁶You idler, go to the ant, watch her ways and be wise.
⁷牠没有领袖，没有监督，没有君王；	⁷She has no master, no steward or overseer.
⁸但在夏天却知准备食粮，在秋收时积贮养料。	⁸She secures food in summer and stores up provisions during harvest time.
⁹懒汉，你要睡到几时，你几时才睡醒﹖	⁹How long, you idler, are you going to lie around? When do you intend to rise from sleep?
¹⁰「再睡片刻，再假寐片刻，再抱臂躺卧片刻！」	¹⁰A little sleep, a little drowsiness and your laziness creeps upon you and then, like a tramp,

¹²无赖与恶徒，行事满口欺诈；	¹²The villain, the unjust man, goes about with a sneer on his lips,
¹³他以眼传神，以脚示意，以手指东画西。	¹³winking his eye, shuffling his feet and beckoning with his finger.
¹⁴他存心不良，常蓄意惹事生非。	¹⁴His heart is deceitful; he is forever plotting evil and causing arguments.
¹⁵为此，他的丧亡必突然来临，霎时间全被毁灭，无法挽救。	¹⁵Therefore, disaster will suddenly and irrevocably overtake him.
¹⁶上主憎恨的事，共有六件，连他心里最厌恶的事，共有七件：	¹⁶There are six things Yahweh hates; seven his inner being detests:
¹⁷傲慢的眼睛，撒谎的舌头，流无辜者血的手，	¹⁷the proud look, the lying tongue, hands which spill innocent blood,
¹⁸策划阴谋的心，疾趋行恶的脚，	¹⁸the depraved heart, feet which speed towards evil,
¹⁹说谎的假见证，和在兄弟间搬弄是非的人。	¹⁹a false and lying witness and the one who sows discord among people.

²²她们在你行路时引领你，在你躺卧时看护你；在你醒来时与你交谈。	²²These will guard your footsteps, protect you when you sleep and speak to you on waking.
²³因为父命是盏灯，母教是光明，严格的劝告是生命的道路，	²³For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light; correction teaches you the way of life.
²⁴使你远避恶意的女人，离开淫妇阿谀的言词，	²⁴It will protect you from the evil woman, the smooth talking of the stranger.
²⁵不让你的心贪恋她的美色，不让她的秋波迷惑你，	²⁵Do not covet her beauty in your heart or let her captivate you with her looks.

²⁷人岂能怀中藏火，而不烧毁自己的衣服﹖	²⁷Can you hold fire in your pocket without setting fire to your clothes or
²⁸人岂能在火炭上行走，而不灼伤自己的脚﹖	²⁸walk on hot coals without burning your feet?
²⁹与他人妻子通奸的人就是这样：凡接近她的，必难免受罚。	²⁹So it is for the man who approaches his neighbor's wife: all who touch her will be punished.
³⁰盗贼若因饥饿行窃以果腹，人都不鄙视他；	³⁰One does not condemn the hungry thief who steals to fill his stomach;
³¹但若被擒获了，他仍须七倍偿还，交出家中所有的财物。	³¹nevertheless, if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold and give all the goods in his house.
³²与妇人通奸的人，实属愚眛，他这样做，却是毁灭自己。	³²How senseless is the adulterer! Whoever commits adultery destroys himself.

³⁵任何的赔偿，他都不理睬；即使你多送礼品，他也不肯罢休。	³⁵He will accept nothing, neither reparation nor lavish gifts.
