弟子啊，你若為朋友作保，替陌生人擊掌擔保，

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；

我兒啊，如果你為鄰人作保，為別人擊掌起誓，

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,

拍掌擔保的、是全無心思的人；為鄰舍作保的毫無知識。

不可做個擊掌擔保的人；也不可為債務作保；

為陌生人作保的必大受虧損；憎厭替人擔保的卻安心無慮。

他為陌生人作保麼！拿他的衣服！他替外人擔保麼！叫他負責當頭！

我，我為他擔保；你可以從我手裏追討。我若不帶他來給你，使他站在你面前，我就永遠是你的罪人。

他為陌生人作保麼！拿他的衣服！他替外人擔保麼！叫他負責當頭！

他若冤你，或欠你甚麼，都算為我欠的。我保羅，我親手寫的：我必付還。至於你虧欠我的、甚至是你自己，那我就不對你說了！

因為僕人曾向我父親為這兒童擔保，說：「我若不帶他來給你，我就永遠是我父親的罪人了。」如今請容你僕人住下，替這兒童做我主的奴僕，叫兒童和他哥哥們一同上去。

『願主拿保證給我，親自為我作保；有誰肯同我頓手，為我擔保呢？

既然如此，耶穌就照這分量成為更好之約的中保了。
