我儿啊，如果你为邻人作保，为别人击掌起誓，

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,

缺乏心智的人击掌起誓，在他的邻人面前作保。

不要成为击掌作保的人，也不要为债务担保；

为别人作保的，必受损害；恨恶击掌起誓的，安然无虑。

谁为别人作保，就拿去谁的衣服；谁替淫荡女子作保，就把谁当作抵押。

我亲自为此担保，你可以从我手中追讨责任。如果我不把他带回来，让他站在你面前，我就在你面前终身担罪。

谁为别人作保，就拿去谁的衣服；谁替淫荡女子作保，就把谁当作抵押。

如果他亏负过你什么，或现在欠了你什么，请把它算在我的账上。我保罗亲手写下：我必偿还——免得我对你说，连你自己也是欠我的呢！

你的仆人曾经为了那少年的缘故向父亲担保，说：‘如果我不把他带回来给你，我就在父亲面前终身担罪。’现在，请你把仆人留下，代替那少年作我主的奴仆，让那少年与他的哥哥们一同上去。

既然如此，耶稣也就成了更美好之约的保证人。
