简体中文
1 我儿,要留心我智慧的话语,侧耳听我聪明的言词。
2 为要使你谨守谋略,嘴唇保存知识。
3 因为淫妇的嘴滴下蜂蜜,她的口比油更滑。
4 至终却苦似茵陈,快如两刃的刀。
5 她的脚,下入死地。她脚步,踏住阴间。
6 以致她找不着生命平坦的道。她的路变迁不定,自己还不知道。
7 众子啊,现在要听从我,不可离弃我口中的话。
8 你所行的道要离她远,不可就近她的房门。
9 恐怕将你的尊荣给别人,将你的岁月给残忍的人。
10 恐怕外人满得你的力量,你劳碌得来的,归入外人的家。
11 终久你皮肉和身体消毁,你就悲叹,
12 说,我怎么恨恶训诲,心中藐视责备,
13 也不听从我师傅的话,又不侧耳听那教训我的人。
14 我在圣会里,几乎落在诸般恶中。
15 你要喝自己池中的水,饮自己井里的活水。
16 你的泉源岂可涨溢在外。你的河水岂可流在街上。
17 惟独归你一人,不可与外人同用。
18 要使你的泉源蒙福。要喜悦你幼年所娶的妻。
19 她如可爱的麀鹿,可喜的母鹿。愿她的胸怀,使你时时知足。她的爱情,使你常常恋慕。
20 我儿,你为何恋慕淫妇,为何抱外女的胸怀。
21 因为人所行的道,都在耶和华眼前。他也修平人一切的路。
22 恶人必被自己的罪孽捉住。他必被自己的罪恶如绳索缠绕。
23 他因不受训诲,就必死亡。又因愚昧过甚,必走差了路。
King James Version
Chapter 5
5:1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
5:2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
5:4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5:5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
5:6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
5:7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
5:8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
5:9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
5:10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
5:11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
5:12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
5:13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
5:14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
5:15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
5:16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
5:17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
5:18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
5:19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
5:20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
5:23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
