Proverbs 1
1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel,
ダビデの子イスラエルの王ソロモンの箴言
2 to know wisdom and instruction, to discern the words of understanding,
こは人に智慧と訓誨とをしらしめ哲言を暁らせ
3 to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness and justice and equity,
さとき訓と公義と公平と正直とをえしめ
4 to give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion,
拙者にさとりを與へ少者に知識と謹愼とを得させん爲なり
5 that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning, and that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsels,
智慧ある者は之を聞て學にすすみ 哲者は智略をうべし
6 to understand a proverb, and a figure, the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
人これによりて箴言と譬喩と智慧ある者の言とその隠語とを悟らん
7 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge. The foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
ヱホバを畏るるは知識の本なり 愚なる者は智慧と訓誨とを軽んず
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.
我が子よ汝の父の教をきけ 汝の母の法を棄ることなかれ
9 For they shall be a garland of grace to thy head, and chains about thy neck.
これ汝の首の美しき冠となり 汝の項の妝飾とならん
10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
わが子よ惡者なんぢ誘ふとも從ふことなかれ
11 If they say, Come with us. Let us lay wait for blood. Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause.
彼等なんぢにむかひて請ふ われらと偕にきたれ 我儕まちぶせして人の血を流し 無辜ものを故なきに伏てねらひ
12 Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those who go down into the pit. (Sheol h7585)
陰府のごとく彼等を活たるままにて呑み 壮健なる者を墳に下る者のごとくになさん (Sheol h7585)
13 We shall find all precious substance. We shall fill our houses with spoil.
われら各様のたふとき財貨をえ 奪ひ取たる物をもて我儕の家に盈さん
14 Thou shall cast thy lot among us. We will all have one bag.
汝われらと偕に籤をひけ 我儕とともに一の金嚢を持べしと云とも
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them. Restrain thy foot from their path.
我が子よ彼等とともに途を歩むことなかれ 汝の足を禁めてその路にゆくこと勿れ
16 For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.
そは彼らの足は惡に趨り 血を流さんとて急げばなり
17 For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird,
(すべて鳥の目の前にて羅を張は徒労なり)
18 and these lay wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.
彼等はおのれの血のために埋伏し おのれの命をふしてねらふ
19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy of gain. It takes away the life of the owners of it.
凡て利を貧る者の途はかくの如し 是その持主をして生命をうしなはしむるなり
20 Wisdom cries aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the broad places.
智慧外に呼はり衝に其聲をあげ
21 She cries in the chief place of concourse, at the entrance of the gates, in the city. She utters her words:
熱閙しき所にさけび 城市の門の口邑の中にその言をのぺていふ
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, and fools hate knowledge?
なんぢら拙者のつたなきを愛し 嘲笑者のあざけりを樂しみ 愚なる者の知識を惡むは何時までぞや
23 Turn back at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you. I will make my words known to you.
わが督斥にしたがひて心を改めよ 視よわれ我が霊を汝らにそそぎ 我が言をなんぢらに示さん
24 Because I have called, and ye have refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no man has regarded,
われ呼たれども汝らこたへず 手を伸たれども顧る者なく
25 but ye have made all my counsel void, and want none of my reproof,
かへつて我がすべての勧告をすて我が督斥を受ざりしに由り
26 I also will laugh at your calamity. I will mock when your fear comes,
われ汝らが禍災にあふとき之を笑ひ 汝らの恐懼きたらんとき嘲るべし
27 when your fear comes as a storm, and your calamity comes on as a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.
これは汝らのおそれ颶風の如くきたり 汝らのほろび颺風の如くきたり 艱難とかなしみと汝らにきたらん時なり
28 Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me,
そのとき彼等われを呼ばん 然れどわれ應へじ 只管に我を求めん されど我に遇じ
29 because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Jehovah.
かれら知識を憎み又ヱホバを畏るることを悦ばず
30 They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.
わが勤に從はず凡て我督斥をいやしめたるによりて
31 Therefore they shall eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
己の途の果を食ひおのれの策略に飽べし
32 For the backsliding of the simple shall kill them, and the careless ease of fools shall destroy them.
拙者の違逆はおのれを殺し 愚なる者の幸福はおのれを滅さん
33 But he who hearkens to me shall dwell securely, and shall be quiet without fear of evil.
されど我に聞ものは平穏に住ひかつ禍害にあふ恐怖なくして安然ならん
