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,

为邻舍击掌作保证人的，是无知的人。

不要替别人击掌担保，也不可为欠债的作保证人。

为外人作保证人的，必受亏损；厌恶替人击掌担保的，却得着安稳。

谁为陌生人作保证人，就拿去谁的衣服；谁替妓女作保证人，谁就要作担保。

我愿意亲自担保他的安全，你可以从我手里追回他。如果我不把他带回来给你，交在你面前，我愿终生承担这罪。

谁为陌生人作保证人，就拿去谁的衣服；谁替妓女作保证人，谁就要作担保。

如果他使你受了损失，或欠你什么，都记在我的帐上。“我必偿还”，这是我保罗亲手写的。用不着我说，甚至你的生命，你也是欠我的。

因为仆人曾经向父亲担保这孩子的安全，说：‘如果我不把他带回来交还给你，我就在父亲面前终生承担这罪。’现在求你容许仆人留下，代替这孩子作我主的奴仆，让这孩子与他的哥哥们一同上去。

愿你给我保证，亲自为我作保；除你以外有谁肯与我击掌作保呢？

耶稣既然是用誓言立的，就成了更美好的约的保证。
