Chapter 7

7:1 [hgb]  我 儿 , 你 要 遵 守 我 的 言 语 , 将 我 的 命 令 存 记 在 心 。 
    [kjv]  My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
    [bbe]  My son, keep my sayings, and let my rules be stored up with you.
7:2 [hgb]  遵 守 我 的 命 令 , 就 得 存 活 。 保 守 我 的 法 则 , ( 或 作 指 教 ) 好 像 保 守 眼 中 的 瞳 人 。 
    [kjv]  Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
    [bbe]  Keep my rules and you will have life; let my teaching be to you as the light of your eyes;
7:3 [hgb]  系 在 你 指 头 上 , 刻 在 你 心 版 上 。 
    [kjv]  Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
    [bbe]  Let them be fixed to your fingers, and recorded in your heart.
7:4 [hgb]  对 智 慧 说 , 你 是 我 的 姊 妹 。 称 呼 聪 明 为 你 的 亲 人 。 
    [kjv]  Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
    [bbe]  Say to wisdom, You are my sister; let knowledge be named your special friend:
7:5 [hgb]  他 就 保 你 远 离 淫 妇 , 远 离 说 谄 媚 话 的 外 女 。 
    [kjv]  That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
    [bbe]  So that they may keep you from the strange woman, even from her whose words are smooth.
7:6 [hgb]  我 曾 在 我 房 屋 的 窗 户 内 , 从 我 窗 棂 之 间 , 往 外 观 看 。 
    [kjv]  For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
    [bbe]  Looking out from my house, and watching through the window,
7:7 [hgb]  见 愚 蒙 人 内 , 少 年 人 中 , 分 明 有 一 个 无 知 的 少 年 人 , 
    [kjv]  And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
    [bbe]  I saw among the young men one without sense,
7:8 [hgb]  从 街 上 经 过 , 走 近 淫 妇 的 巷 口 , 直 往 通 她 家 的 路 去 , 
    [kjv]  Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
    [bbe]  Walking in the street near the turn of her road, going on the way to her house,
7:9 [hgb]  在 黄 昏 , 或 晚 上 , 或 半 夜 , 或 黑 暗 之 中 , 
    [kjv]  In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
    [bbe]  At nightfall, in the evening of the day, in the black dark of the night.
7:10 [hgb]  看 哪 , 有 一 个 妇 人 来 迎 接 他 , 是 妓 女 的 打 扮 , 有 诡 诈 的 心 思 。 
    [kjv]  And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
    [bbe]  And the woman came out to him, in the dress of a loose woman, with a designing heart;
7:11 [hgb]  这 妇 人 喧 嚷 不 守 约 束 , 在 家 里 停 不 住 脚 。 
    [kjv]  (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
    [bbe]  She is full of noise and uncontrolled; her feet keep not in her house.
7:12 [hgb]  有 时 在 街 市 上 , 有 时 在 宽 阔 处 , 或 在 各 巷 口 蹲 伏 。 
    [kjv]  Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
    [bbe]  Now she is in the street, now in the open spaces, waiting at every turning of the road.
7:13 [hgb]  拉 住 那 少 年 人 , 与 他 亲 嘴 , 脸 无 羞 耻 对 他 说 , 
    [kjv]  So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
    [bbe]  So she took him by his hand, kissing him, and without a sign of shame she said to him:
7:14 [hgb]  平 安 祭 在 我 这 里 。 今 日 才 还 了 我 所 许 的 愿 。 
    [kjv]  I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
    [bbe]  I have a feast of peace-offerings, for today my oaths have been effected.
7:15 [hgb]  因 此 , 我 出 来 迎 接 你 , 恳 切 求 见 你 的 面 , 恰 巧 遇 见 了 你 。 
    [kjv]  Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
    [bbe]  So I came out in the hope of meeting you, looking for you with care, and now I have you.
7:16 [hgb]  我 已 经 用 绣 花 毯 子 , 和 埃 及 线 织 的 花 纹 布 , 铺 了 我 的 床 。 
    [kjv]  I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
    [bbe]  My bed is covered with cushions of needlework, with coloured cloths of the cotton thread of Egypt;
7:17 [hgb]  我 又 用 没 药 , 沉 香 , 桂 皮 , 薰 了 我 的 榻 。 
    [kjv]  I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
    [bbe]  I have made my bed sweet with perfumes and spices.
7:18 [hgb]  你 来 , 我 们 可 以 饱 享 爱 情 , 直 到 早 晨 。 我 们 可 以 彼 此 亲 爱 欢 乐 。 
    [kjv]  Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
    [bbe]  Come, let us take our pleasure in love till the morning, having joy in love's delights.
7:19 [hgb]  因 为 我 丈 夫 不 在 家 , 出 门 行 远 路 。 
    [kjv]  For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
    [bbe]  For the master of the house is away on a long journey:
7:20 [hgb]  他 手 拿 银 囊 。 必 到 月 望 才 回 家 。 
    [kjv]  He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
    [bbe]  He has taken a bag of money with him; he is coming back at the full moon.
7:21 [hgb]  淫 妇 用 许 多 巧 言 诱 他 随 从 , 用 谄 媚 的 嘴 逼 他 同 行 。 
    [kjv]  With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
    [bbe]  With her fair words she overcame him, forcing him with her smooth lips.
7:22 [hgb]  少 年 人 立 刻 跟 随 她 , 好 像 牛 往 宰 杀 之 地 , 又 像 愚 昧 人 带 锁 链 , 去 受 刑 罚 。 
    [kjv]  He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
    [bbe]  The simple man goes after her, like an ox going to its death, like a roe pulled by a cord;
7:23 [hgb]  直 等 箭 穿 他 的 肝 , 如 同 雀 鸟 急 入 网 罗 , 却 不 知 是 自 丧 己 命 。 
    [kjv]  Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
    [bbe]  Like a bird falling into a net; with no thought that his life is in danger, till an arrow goes into his side.
7:24 [hgb]  众 子 阿 , 现 在 要 听 从 我 , 留 心 听 我 口 中 的 话 。 
    [kjv]  Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
    [bbe]  So now, my sons, give ear to me; give attention to the sayings of my mouth;
7:25 [hgb]  你 的 心 , 不 可 偏 向 淫 妇 的 道 。 不 要 入 她 的 迷 途 。 
    [kjv]  Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
    [bbe]  Let not your heart be turned to her ways, do not go wandering in her footsteps.
7:26 [hgb]  因 为 被 她 伤 害 仆 倒 的 不 少 。 被 她 杀 戮 的 而 且 甚 多 。 
    [kjv]  For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
    [bbe]  For those wounded and made low by her are great in number; and all those who have come to their death through her are a great army.
7:27 [hgb]  她 的 家 是 在 阴 间 之 路 , 下 到 死 亡 之 宫 。 
    [kjv]  Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
    [bbe]  Her house is the way to the underworld, going down to the rooms of death.
