Proverbs 9
1 WISDOM hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
智慧はその家を建て その七の柱を砍成し
2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished 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 forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places 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 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
拙者よここに來れと また智慧なき者にいふ
5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
汝等きたりて我が糧を食ひ わがまぜあはせたる洒をのみ
6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
拙劣をすてて生命をえ 聡明のみちを行め
7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: 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 Reprove 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 instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
智慧ある者に授けよ 彼はますます智慧をえん 義者を教へよ 彼は知識に監まん
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
ヱホバを畏るることは智慧の根本なり 聖者を知るは聡明なり
11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
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 wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
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 is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
愚なる婦は嘩しく且つたなくして何事をも知らず
14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places 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 passengers who go right on their ways:
道をますぐに過る往來の人を招きていふ
16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
拙者よここに來れと また智慧な在りき人にむかひては之にいふ
17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
竊みたる水は甘く密かに食ふ糧は美味ありと
