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