我兒啊，你若為朋友擔保，替陌生人擊掌，

弟子啊，你若為朋友作保，替陌生人擊掌擔保，

我子、爾若為鄰作保、為人拊掌、

爾小子、如爾為人中保、已有成言、自貽伊戚、

我子、如爾為友作保、或為外人之事擊掌、擊掌亦作保之義

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,

My son, don’t promise to pay for what your neighbor owes. Don’t agree to pay a stranger’s bill.

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger,

My child, if you have put up security for a friend’s debt or agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger—

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor or entered into an agreement with a stranger,

My son, if you have become a guarantor for your neighbor, Or have given a handshake for a stranger,

My son, if you become surety for your friend, If you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,

My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor, If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor or entered into an agreement with a stranger,

My son, if thou be surety for thy friend,[ if] thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

My child, if you have made a pledge for your neighbor, and have become a guarantor for a stranger,

My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger,

无知的人才会为他人作保。

不要为人击掌作保，不要为欠债的抵押。

为他人作保，必受亏损；厌恶当保人，得享平安。

谁为陌生人作保，就拿去谁的外衣；谁为外族人作保，就要承担责任。

我亲自保证便雅悯的安全，你可以向我要人。我若不把他带回来见你，情愿一生担罪。

谁为陌生人作保，就拿谁的衣服；谁为淫妇作保，谁就得交抵押。

如果他得罪你，或亏欠你什么，都记在我的账上吧。我保罗在此亲笔保证，我必偿还。其实我不说你也知道，连你自己也欠我。

仆人曾经向父亲保证这孩子的安全，说我若不把这孩子带回他身边，情愿一生担罪。现在求你准许仆人代替这孩子做你的奴仆，让他跟他哥哥们回去吧。

上帝啊，求你为我作保。除你以外，谁肯做我的保人？

这誓言使耶稣成了更美之约的保证人。
