Proverbs 9
1 Wisdom has built her own house; she has carved seven pillars out of rocks.
Visdommen bygged sig Hus, rejste sig støtter syv,
2 She has slaughtered her animals; she has mixed her wine; and she has set her table.
slagted sit Kvæg og blanded sin Vin, hun har også dækket sit Bord;
3 She has sent out her maids; she calls out from the highest points of the city,
hun har sendt sine Terner ud, byder ind på Byens højeste Steder:
4 “Who is naive? Let him turn aside here!” To the one lacking good sense she speaks.
Hvo som er tankeløs, han komme hid, jeg taler til dem, som er uden Vid:
5 “Come, eat my food, and drink the wine I have mixed.
Kom og smag mit Brød og drik den Vin, jeg har blandet!
6 Leave your naive actions and live; walk in the path of understanding.
Lad Tankeløshed fare, så skal I leve, skrid frem ad Forstandens Vej!
7 Whoever disciplines a mocker receives abuse, and whoever rebukes a wicked person receives insults.
Tugter man en Spotter, henter man sig Hån; revser man en gudløs, høster man Skam;
8 Do not reprove a mocker, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
revs ikke en Spotter, at han ikke skal hade dig, revs den vise, så elsker han dig;
9 Give to a wise person, and he will become even wiser; teach a righteous person, and he will add to his learning.
giv til den vise, så bliver han visere, lær den retfærdige, så øges hans Viden.
10 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
HERRENs Frygt er Visdoms Grundlag, at kende den HELLIGE, det er Forstand.
11 For through me your days will be multiplied, and years of life will be added to you.
Thi mange bliver ved mig dine Dage, dine Livsårs Tal skal øges.
12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, and if you mock, you will carry it by yourself.”
Er du viis, er det til Gavn for dig selv; spotter du, bærer du ene Følgen!
13 The woman of foolishness is ignorant; she is untaught and knows nothing.
Dårskaben, hun slår sig løs og lokker og kender ikke til Skam;
14 She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the highest places of the town.
hun sidder ved sit Huses indgang, troner på Byens Høje
15 She is calling out to those who pass by in the streets, to people walking straight on their way.
og byder dem ind, der kommer forbi, vandrende ad deres slagne Vej:
16 “Let anyone who is naive turn aside here,” she says to those who have no sense.
Hvo som er tankeløs, han komme hid, jeg taler til dem, som er uden Vid:
17 “Stolen waters are sweet, and bread of secrecy is delicious.”
Stjålen Drik er sød, lønligt Brød er lækkert!
