我兒啊，如果你為鄰人作保，為別人擊掌起誓，

我儿，你若为朋友作保，替外人击掌，

我儿啊，你若为朋友担保，替陌生人击掌，

我儿啊，你若为朋友担保，替陌生人击掌，

孩子啊，你若为邻人作保，为外人击掌立约；

我儿，如果你作朋友的保证人，替外人击掌担保；

我儿啊，如果你为邻人作保，为别人击掌起誓，

我兒，你若為朋友作保，替外人擊掌，

我兒啊，你若為朋友擔保，替陌生人擊掌，

我兒啊，你若為朋友擔保，替陌生人擊掌，

孩子啊，你若為鄰人作保，為外人擊掌立約；

我兒，如果你作朋友的保證人，替外人擊掌擔保；

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,

缺乏心智的人擊掌起誓，在他的鄰人面前作保。

不要成為擊掌作保的人，也不要為債務擔保；

為別人作保的，必受損害；恨惡擊掌起誓的，安然無慮。

誰為別人作保，就拿去誰的衣服；誰替淫蕩女子作保，就把誰當作抵押。

我親自為此擔保，你可以從我手中追討責任。如果我不把他帶回來，讓他站在你面前，我就在你面前終身擔罪。

誰為別人作保，就拿去誰的衣服；誰替淫蕩女子作保，就把誰當作抵押。

如果他虧負過你什麼，或現在欠了你什麼，請把它算在我的帳上。我保羅親手寫下：我必償還——免得我對你說，連你自己也是欠我的呢！

你的僕人曾經為了那少年的緣故向父親擔保，說：『如果我不把他帶回來給你，我就在父親面前終身擔罪。』現在，請你把僕人留下，代替那少年作我主的奴僕，讓那少年與他的哥哥們一同上去。

既然如此，耶穌也就成了更美好之約的保證人。
