箴6

箴言-Proverbs 第 6 章

6:1	我儿，你若为邻舍作保，替生人击掌担保， My son, if you have become a surety for your neighbor, If you have given your hands as a pledge for a stranger,
6:2	你就被口中的话语缠住，被嘴里的言语捉住。 You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are caught by the words of your mouth.
6:3	我儿，你既落在邻舍手中，就当这样行才可救自己：你要去，降卑自己，恳求你的邻舍。 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor: Go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor.
6:4	不容你的眼睛睡觉，不容你的眼皮打盹。 Do not give sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids.
6:5	要救自己，如羚羊脱离猎户的手，如鸟脱离捕鸟人的手。 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter's hand And like a bird from the fowler's hand.
6:6	懒惰人哪，你去察看蚂蚁的行径，就可得智慧。 Go to the ant, you sluggard; Consider its ways, and be wise,
6:7	蚂蚁没有元帅，没有官长，没有统管， Which, having no chief, Officer, or ruler,
6:8	尚且在夏天豫备食物，在收割时聚敛粮食。 Prepares its food in summer And gathers its sustenance in the harvest.
6:9	懒惰人哪，你要躺卧到几时呢？你何时睡醒起来呢？ How long, sluggard, will you lie there? When will you arise from your sleep?
6:10	再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着手躺卧片时， A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,
6:11	你的贫穷就必如强盗来临，你的缺乏就必如拿兵器的人来到。 And your poverty will come upon you like a robber, And your want, like an armed man.
6:12	卑劣之徒，作恶之人，行事满口乖僻， A worthless man, a wicked man, Goes around with a perverse mouth,
6:13	挤眉弄眼，用脚示意，用指点划， Winking with his eyes, signaling with his feet, Pointing with his fingers;
6:14	心存乖僻，常设恶谋，布散纷争。 With perverseness in his heart, he is devising evil continually; He injects discord.
6:15	所以，灾难必忽然临到；他必顷刻破败，无法可治。 Therefore his calamity will come suddenly; In a moment he will be broken, and there will be no remedy.
6:16	耶和华所恨恶的有六样，连祂魂所憎恶的共有七样， There are six things that Jehovah hates; Indeed, seven that are an abomination to His soul:
6:17	就是高傲的眼、撒谎的舌、流无辜人血的手、 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood,
6:18	图谋恶计的心、飞跑行恶的脚、 A heart that devises wicked schemes, Feet that hurry to run to evil,
6:19	吐谎言的假见证人、并在弟兄中布散纷争的人。 A false witness who utters lies, And one who injects discord among brothers.
6:20	我儿，要谨守你父亲的诫命，不可离弃你母亲的指教， My son, keep the commandment of your father, And do not reject the teaching of your mother;
6:21	要常系在你心上，绑在你颈项上。 Bind them continually on your heart; Tie them around your neck.
6:22	你行走，它必引导你；你躺卧，它必看守你；你睡醒，它必与你谈论。 When you walk about, it will guide you, When you lie down, it will watch over you; And when you awake, it will talk with you.
6:23	因为诫命是灯，指教是光，训诲的责备是生命的道路， For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching a light, And the reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
6:24	能保守你远离恶妇，远离外女油滑的舌头。 To keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
6:25	你心中不要贪恋她的美色，也不要被她的眼皮勾引； Do not desire her beauty in your heart, Nor let her catch you with her eyelids;
6:26	因为妓女的代价只是一块饼；淫妇却猎取人宝贵的性命。 For the price of a harlot is a loaf of bread, But the wife of another man hunts for the precious soul.
6:27	人若怀里搋火，衣服岂能不烧着呢？ Can a man take fire in his bosom And his clothes not be burned?
6:28	人若在火炭上走，脚岂能不灼伤呢？ Can a man walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched?
6:29	与邻舍之妻同寝的，也是如此；凡挨触她的，必难免受罚。 So it is with him who goes in to his neighbor's wife; No one who touches her will be unpunished.
6:30	贼因饥饿偷窃充饥，人不藐视他； The thief is not despised if he steals To satisfy himself when he is hungry;
6:31	他若被发现，就要赔还七倍，要将家中所有的尽都交出。 But if he is found out, he shall restore sevenfold; He must give over all the substance of his house.
6:32	与妇人行淫的，便是无知；行这事的，自毁性命。 He who commits adultery with a woman lacks sense; He who does it destroys his own soul.
6:33	他必受伤损，遭凌辱；他的羞耻不得涂抹。 He will find wounds and dishonor, And his reproach will not be wiped away.
6:34	因为嫉恨乃是男人的烈怒，在报仇的日子绝不留情。 For jealousy is the rage of a man, And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
6:35	什么赎价，他都不顾；你虽送许多礼物，他也不肯干休。 He will not regard any ransom, Nor will he be content if you give him great gifts.
