箴言 Proverbs

6:1	[hgb]	我儿，你若为朋友作保，替外人击掌，
	[bbe]	My son, if you have made yourself responsible for your neighbour, or given your word for another,
6:2	[hgb]	你就被口中的话语缠住，被嘴里的言语捉住。
	[bbe]	You are taken as in a net by the words of your mouth, the sayings of your lips have overcome you.
6:3	[hgb]	我儿，你既落在朋友手中，就当这样行，才可救自己。你要自卑，去恳求你的朋友。
	[bbe]	Do this, my son, and make yourself free, because you have come into the power of your neighbour; go without waiting, and make a strong request to your neighbour.
6:4	[hgb]	不要容你的眼睛睡觉，不要容你的眼皮打盹。
	[bbe]	Give no sleep to your eyes, or rest to them;
6:5	[hgb]	要救自己，如鹿脱离猎户的手，如鸟脱离捕鸟人的手。
	[bbe]	Make yourself free, like the roe from the hand of the archer, and the bird from him who puts a net for her.
6:6	[hgb]	懒惰人哪，你去察看蚂蚁的动作，就可得智慧。
	[bbe]	Go to the ant, you hater of work; give thought to her ways and be wise:
6:7	[hgb]	蚂蚁没有元帅，没有官长，没有君王，
	[bbe]	Having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
6:8	[hgb]	尚且在夏天预备食物，在收割时聚敛粮食。
	[bbe]	She gets her meat in the summer, storing up food at the time of the grain-cutting.
6:9	[hgb]	懒惰人哪，你要睡到几时呢？你何时睡醒呢？
	[bbe]	How long will you be sleeping, O hater of work? when will you get up from your sleep?
6:10	[hgb]	再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着手躺卧片时，
	[bbe]	A little sleep, a little rest, a little folding of the hands in sleep:
6:11	[hgb]	你的贫穷就必如强盗速来，你的缺乏仿佛拿兵器的人来到。
	[bbe]	Then loss will come on you like an outlaw, and your need like an armed man
6:12	[hgb]	无赖的恶徒，行动就用乖僻的口。
	[bbe]	A good-for-nothing man is an evil-doer; he goes on his way causing trouble with false words;
6:13	[hgb]	用眼传神，用脚示意，用指点划。
	[bbe]	Making signs with his eyes, rubbing with his feet, and giving news with his fingers;
6:14	[hgb]	心中乖僻，常设恶谋，布散分争。
	[bbe]	His mind is ever designing evil: he lets loose violent acts.
6:15	[hgb]	所以灾难必忽然临到他身。他必顷刻败坏无法可治。
	[bbe]	For this cause his downfall will be sudden; quickly he will be broken, and there will be no help for him.
6:16	[hgb]	耶和华所恨恶的有六样，连他心所憎恶的共有七样。
	[bbe]	Six things are hated by the Lord; seven things are disgusting to him:
6:17	[hgb]	就是高傲的眼，撒谎的舌，流无辜人血的手，
	[bbe]	Eyes of pride, a false tongue, hands which take life without cause;
6:18	[hgb]	图谋恶计的心，飞跑行恶的脚，
	[bbe]	A heart full of evil designs, feet which are quick in running after sin;
6:19	[hgb]	吐谎言的假见证，并弟兄中布散分争的人。
	[bbe]	A false witness, breathing out untrue words, and one who lets loose violent acts among brothers.
6:20	[hgb]	我儿，要谨守你父亲的诫命，不可离弃你母亲的法则。（或作指教）
	[bbe]	My son, keep the rule of your father, and have in memory the teaching of your mother:
6:21	[hgb]	要常系在你心上，挂在你项上。
	[bbe]	Keep them ever folded in your heart, and have them hanging round your neck.
6:22	[hgb]	你行走，他必引导你。你躺卧，他必保守你。你睡醒，他必与你谈论。
	[bbe]	In your walking, it will be your guide; when you are sleeping, it will keep watch over you; when you are awake, it will have talk with you.
6:23	[hgb]	因为诫命是灯，法则（或作指教）是光。训诲的责备是生命的道。
	[bbe]	For the rule is a light, and the teaching a shining light; and the guiding words of training are the way of life.
6:24	[hgb]	能保你远离恶妇，远离外女谄媚的舌头。
	[bbe]	They will keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the strange woman.
6:25	[hgb]	你心中不要恋慕她的美色，也不要被她眼皮勾引。
	[bbe]	Let not your heart's desire go after her fair body; let not her eyes take you prisoner.
6:26	[hgb]	因为妓女能使人只剩一块饼，淫妇猎取人宝贵的生命。
	[bbe]	For a loose woman is looking for a cake of bread, but another man's wife goes after one's very life.
6:27	[hgb]	人若怀里搋火，衣服岂能不烧呢？
	[bbe]	May a man take fire to his breast without burning his clothing?
6:28	[hgb]	人若在火炭上走，脚岂能不烫呢？
	[bbe]	Or may one go on lighted coals, and his feet not be burned?
6:29	[hgb]	亲近邻舍之妻的，也是如此。凡挨近她的，不免受罚。
	[bbe]	So it is with him who goes in to his neighbour's wife; he who has anything to do with her will not go free from punishment.
6:30	[hgb]	贼因饥饿偷窃充饥，人不藐视他。
	[bbe]	Men do not have a low opinion of a thief who takes food when he is in need of it:
6:31	[hgb]	若被找着，他必赔还七倍。必将家中所有的，尽都偿还。
	[bbe]	But if he is taken in the act he will have to give back seven times as much, giving up all his property which is in his house.
6:32	[hgb]	与妇人行淫的，便是无知，行这事的，必丧掉生命。
	[bbe]	He who takes another man's wife is without all sense: he who does it is the cause of destruction to his soul.
6:33	[hgb]	他必受伤损，必被凌辱。他的羞耻不得涂抹。
	[bbe]	Wounds will be his and loss of honour, and his shame may not be washed away.
6:34	[hgb]	因为人的嫉恨，成了烈怒。报仇的时候，决不留情。
	[bbe]	For bitter is the wrath of an angry husband; in the day of punishment he will have no mercy.
6:35	[hgb]	什么赎价，他都不顾。你虽送许多礼物，他也不肯干休。
	[bbe]	He will not take any payment; and he will not make peace with you though your money offerings are increased.
