Proverbs 9
1 Wisdom hath built herself a house, she hath hewn her out seven pillars.
智慧はその家を建て その七の柱を砍成し
2 She hath slain her victims, mingled her wine, and set forth her table.
その畜を宰り その酒を混和せ その筵をそなへ
3 She hath sent her maids to invite to the tower, and to the walls of the city:
その婢女をつかはして邑の高處に呼はりいはしむ
4 Whosoever is a little one, let him come to me. And to the unwise she said:
拙者よここに來れと また智慧なき者にいふ
5 Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you.
汝等きたりて我が糧を食ひ わがまぜあはせたる酒をのみ
6 Forsake childishness, and live, and walk by the ways of prudence.
拙劣をすてて生命をえ 聰明のみちを行め
7 He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself: and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot.
嘲笑者をいましむる者は恥を己にえ 惡人を責むる者は疵を己にえん
8 Rebuke not a scorner lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
嘲笑者を責むることなかれ 恐くは彼なんぢを惡まん 智慧ある者をせめよ 彼なんぢを愛せん
9 Give an occasion to a wise man, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach a just man, and he shall make haste to receive it.
智慧ある者に授けよ 彼はますます智慧をえん 義者を敎へよ 彼は知識に進まん
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is prudence.
ヱホバを畏るることは智慧の根本なり 聖者を知るは聰明なり
11 For by me shall thy days be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.
我により汝の日は多くせられ 汝のいのちの年は増べし
12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be so to thyself: and if a scorner, thou alone shalt bear the evil.
汝もし智慧あらば自己のために智慧あるなり 汝もし嘲らば汝ひとり之を負ん
13 A foolish woman and clamorous, and full of allurements, and knowing nothing at all,
愚なる婦は嘩しく且つたなくして何事をも知らず
14 Sat at the door of her house, upon a seat, in a high place of the city,
その家の門に坐し邑のたかき處にある座にすわり
15 To call them that pass by the way, and go on their journey:
道をますぐに過る往來の人を招きていふ
16 He that is a little one, let him turn to me. And to the fool she said:
拙者よここに來れと また智慧なき人にむかひては之にいふ
17 Stolen waters are sweeter, and hid den bread is more pleasant.
竊みたる水は甘く密かに食ふ糧は美味ありと
