5:1
μὴ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ τοῖς χρήμασίν σου καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς αὐτάρκη μοί ἐστιν
Set not your heart upon your goods; And say not, They are sufficient for me.
不可把心倚靠在你的財物上，也不可說：「這於我已經足夠了。」
5:2
μὴ ἐξακολούθει τῇ ψυχῇ σου καὶ τῇ ἰσχύι σου πορεύεσθαι ἐν ἐπιθυμίαις καρδίας σου
Follow not your own mind and your strength, To walk in the desires of your heart;
不可隨從自己的心意與血氣，去行你心中所貪戀的事；
5:3
καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς τίς με δυναστεύσει ὁ γὰρ κύριος ἐκδικῶν ἐκδικήσει
And say not, Who will have dominion over me? For the Lord will surely take vengeance on you.
也不可說：「誰能轄制我呢？」因為主必定向你施行報應。
5:4
μὴ εἴπῃς ἥμαρτον καὶ τί μοι ἐγένετο ὁ γὰρ κύριός ἐστιν μακρόθυμος
Say not, I sinned, and what happened to me? For the Lord is longsuffering.
不可說：「我犯了罪，又有甚麼臨到我呢？」因為主是恆久忍耐的。
5:5
περὶ ἐξιλασμοῦ μὴ ἄφοβος γίνου προσθεῖναι ἁμαρτίαν ἐφ’ ἁμαρτίαις
Concerning atonement, be not without fear, To add sin upon sins:
論到赦罪的事，不可無所畏懼，以致罪上加罪；
5:6
καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς ὁ οἰκτιρμὸς αὐτοῦ πολύς τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου ἐξιλάσεται ἔλεος γὰρ καὶ ὀργὴ παρ’ αὐτῷ καὶ ἐπὶ ἁμαρτωλοὺς καταπαύσει ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ
And say not, His compassion is great; He will be pacified for the multitude of my sins: For mercy and wrath are with him, And his indignation will rest upon sinners.
也不可說：「祂的憐憫廣大，必赦免我眾多的罪。」因為憐憫與忿怒都在於祂，祂的烈怒必臨到罪人身上。
5:7
μὴ ἀνάμενε ἐπιστρέψαι πρὸς κύριον καὶ μὴ ὑπερβάλλου ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας ἐξάπινα γὰρ ἐξελεύσεται ὀργὴ κυρίου καὶ ἐν καιρῷ ἐκδικήσεως ἐξολῇ
Make no tarrying to turn to the Lord; And put not off from day to day: For suddenly will the wrath of the Lord come forth; And you will perish in the time of vengeance.
不可遲延歸向主，不可一日推過一日；因為主的忿怒必忽然發出，在報應之時你必滅亡。
5:8
μὴ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ χρήμασιν ἀδίκοις οὐδὲν γὰρ ὠφελήσει σε ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπαγωγῆς
Set not your heart upon unrighteous gains: For you will profit nothing in the day of calamity.
不可把心倚靠在不義之財上，因為在災禍的日子，這於你毫無益處。
5:9
μὴ λίκμα ἐν παντὶ ἀνέμῳ καὶ μὴ πορεύου ἐν πάσῃ ἀτραπῷ οὕτως ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς ὁ δίγλωσσος
Winnow not with every wind, And walk not in every path: Thus does the sinner that has a double tongue.
不可隨各樣的風簸揚，也不可在各樣的路上行走；那口是心非的罪人正是如此。
5:10
ἴσθι ἐστηριγμένος ἐν συνέσει σου καὶ εἷς ἔστω σου ὁ λόγος
Be stedfast in your understanding; And let your word be one.
要在你的悟性上堅定不移，你的話語當始終如一。
5:11
γίνου ταχὺς ἐν ἀκροάσει σου καὶ ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ φθέγγου ἀπόκρισιν
Be swift to hear; And with patience make your answer.
你要敏於聆聽，並要以忍耐說出你的回答。
5:12
εἰ ἔστιν σοι σύνεσις ἀποκρίθητι τῷ πλησίον εἰ δὲ μή ἡ χείρ σου ἔστω ἐπὶ τῷ στόματί σου
If you have understanding, answer your neighbor; And if not, let your hand be upon your mouth.
你若有見識，就當回答你的鄰舍；你若沒有，就用手按住你的口。
5:13
δόξα καὶ ἀτιμία ἐν λαλιᾷ καὶ γλῶσσα ἀνθρώπου πτῶσις αὐτῷ
Glory and dishonor is in talk: And the tongue of a man is his fall.
榮耀與羞辱都在乎言語，人的舌頭足以使他傾倒。
5:14
μὴ κληθῇς ψίθυρος καὶ τῇ γλώσσῃ σου μὴ ἐνέδρευε ἐπὶ γὰρ τῷ κλέπτῃ ἐστὶν αἰσχύνη καὶ κατάγνωσις πονηρὰ ἐπὶ διγλώσσου
Be not called a whisperer; And lie not in wait with your tongue: For upon the thief there is shame, And an evil condemnation upon him that has a double tongue.
不要被稱為搬弄是非的人，也不要用舌頭設下埋伏；因為羞愧臨到竊賊，惡名的定罪臨到口是心非的人。
5:15
ἐν μεγάλῳ καὶ ἐν μικρῷ μὴ ἀγνόει καὶ ἀντὶ φίλου μὴ γίνου ἐχθρός ὄνομα γὰρ πονηρὸν αἰσχύνην καὶ ὄνειδος κληρονομήσει οὕτως ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς ὁ δίγλωσσος
In a great matter and in a small, be not ignorant;
無論大事小事，都不要疏忽無知。
