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。
