| 箴言-Proverbs 第 5 章 |
| 5:1 | 我兒，要留心聽我的智慧，側耳聽我的聰明， My son, be attentive to my wisdom; Incline your ear to my understanding, |
| 5:2 | 為要使你謹守謀略，嘴唇護衛知識。 That you may keep discretion, And your lips may guard knowledge. |
| 5:3 | 因為淫婦的嘴滴下蜂蜜，她的口比油更滑； For the lips of a strange woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil; |
| 5:4 | 至終她卻苦似茵蔯，快如兩刃的刀。 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword. |
| 5:5 | 她的腳下入死地；她的腳步邁向陰間。 Her feet go down to death; Her steps hold fast to Sheol. |
| 5:6 | 她不走生命平坦的途徑；她所行的變遷不定，自己卻不知道。 She does not make straight the path of life: Her ways wander, and she does not know it. |
| 5:7 | 眾子阿，現在要聽從我，不可離棄我口中的話。 And now, my sons, listen to me, And do not depart from the words of my mouth. |
| 5:8 | 你所行的路要離她遠，不可就近她的房門； Keep your way far from her, And do not go near the door of her house; |
| 5:9 | 免得將你的尊榮給了別人，將你的歲月給了殘忍的人； Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel; |
| 5:10 | 免得別人滿得你的貲財，你勞碌得來的歸入外人的家； Lest strangers be filled with your wealth, And your labors go to the house of a foreigner, |
| 5:11 | 終久，你的皮肉和身體銷毀，你就悲歎， And you mourn at your end, When your flesh and your body are consumed, |
| 5:12 | 說，我怎麼恨惡訓誨，我的心怎麼藐視責備！ And you say, How I have hated instruction, And my heart has despised reproof! |
| 5:13 | 也不聽從我教師的話，又不側耳聽那教導我的人； And I have not listened to the voice of my teachers Nor inclined my ear to my instructors; |
| 5:14 | 我在會眾和大會裏，幾乎落在諸般的惡中。 I was almost into every evil In the midst of the congregation and assembly. |
| 5:15 | 你要喝自己池中的水，飲自己井裏流動的水。 Drink waters out of your own cistern, And running water out of your own well. |
| 5:16 | 你的泉源豈可漲溢在外，如同溪水流在街上？ Should your springs be shed forth, Like streams of water in the streets? |
| 5:17 | 這水惟獨歸你一人，不可與別人同用。 Let them be yours alone, And not for strangers with you. |
| 5:18 | 要使你的泉源蒙福；要喜悅你少年所娶的妻， Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth, |
| 5:19 | 她如可愛的麀鹿，可喜的母鹿；願她的胸懷使你時時滿足，她的愛情使你常常迷戀。 A lovely hind and a graceful doe. Let her breasts satisfy you at all times. May you be ravished with her love always. |
| 5:20 | 我兒，你為何迷戀淫婦？為何抱外女的胸懷？ For why should you be ravished, my son, with a strange woman And embrace the bosom of an adulteress? |
| 5:21 | 因為人的道路都在耶和華眼前，祂也考量人一切的途徑。 For the ways of a man are before the eyes of Jehovah, And He ponders all his paths. |
| 5:22 | 惡人必被自己的罪孽捉住，他必被自己罪惡的繩索纏繞。 The wicked man is taken by his own iniquities, And he is held fast by the cords of his own sin. |
| 5:23 | 他因不受訓誨就必死亡，又因愚妄過甚，必走迷了路。 He will die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he will go astray. |
