| The Proverbs of Solomon son of David, who reigned in Israel; | При́тчі Соломо́на, си́на Дави́дова, і́же ца́рствова во Ізра́їлі, |
|
2
|
2
|
| to know wisdom and instruction, and to perceive words of understanding; | позна́ти прему́дрость і наказа́ніє і уразумі́ти словеса́ му́дрости, |
|
3
|
3
|
| to receive also hard sayings, and to understand true justice, and how to direct judgment; | прия́ти же ізви́тія слове́с і разріше́нія гада́ній, уразумі́ти же пра́вду і́стинную і суд ісправля́ти; |
|
4
|

|
| that he might give subtlety to the simple, and to the young man discernment and understanding. | да дасть незло́бивим кова́рство, отроча́ті же ю́ну чу́вство же і смисл. |
|

|
| For by the hearing of these a wise man will be wiser, and the man of understanding will gain direction; | Сих бо послу́шав, му́дрий прему́дріє бу́деть, а разу́мний строї́тельство стя́жеть; |
|
6
|
|
| and will understand a parable, and a dark speech; the sayings of the wise also, and riddles. | |
|
7
|
|
| The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and there is good understanding to all that practise it: and piety toward God is the beginning of discernment; but the ungodly will set at nought wisdom and instruction. | |
|
8
|
|
| Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and reject not the rules of thy mother. | |
|
9
|
|
| For thou shalt receive for thine head a crown of graces, and a chain of gold round thy neck. | |
|
10
|
|
| My son, let not ungodly men lead thee astray, neither consent thou to them. | |
|
11
|
|
| If they should exhort thee, saying, Come with us, partake in blood, and let us unjustly hide the just man in the earth: | |
|
12
|
|
| and let us swallow him alive, as Hades would, and remove the memorial of him from the earth: | |
|
13
|
|
| let us seize on his valuable property, and let us fill our houses with spoils: | |
|
14
|
|
| but do thou cast in thy lot with us, and let us all provide a common purse, and let us have one pouch: | |
|
15
|
|
| go not in the way with them, but turn aside thy foot from their paths: | |
|
17
|
|
| for nets are not without cause spread for birds. | |
|
18
|
|
| For they that are concerned in murder store up evils for themselves; and the overthrow of transgressors is evil. | |
|
19
|
|
| These are the ways of all that perform lawless deeds; for by ungodliness they destroy their own life. | |
|
20
|
|
| Wisdom sings aloud in passages, and in the broad places speaks boldly. | |
|
21
|
|
| And she makes proclamation on the top of the walls, and sits by the gates of princes; and at the gates of the city boldly says, | |
|
22
|
|
| So long as the simple cleave to justice, they shall not be ashamed: but the foolish being lovers of haughtiness, having become ungodly have hated knowledge, and are become subject to reproofs. | |
|
23
|
|
| Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of my breath, and I will instruct you in my speech. | |
|
24
|
|
| Since I called, and ye did not hearken; and I spoke at length, and ye gave no heed; | |
|
25
|
|
| but ye set at nought my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs; | |
|
26
|
|
| therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against you when ruin comes upon you: | |
|
27
|
|
| yea when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you. | |
|
28
|
|
| For it shall be that when ye call upon me, I will not hearken to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find me. | |
|
29
|
|
| For they hated wisdom, and did not choose the word of the Lord: | |
|
30
|
|
| neither would they attend to my counsels, but derided my reproofs. | |
|
31
|
|
| Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and shall be filled with their own ungodliness. | |
|
32
|
|
| For because they wronged the simple, they shall be slain; and an inquisition shall ruin the ungodly. | |
|
33
|
|
| But he that hearkens to me shall dwell in confidence, and shall rest securely from all evil. |
