Proverbs 9
1 Wisdom bildide an hous to him silf; he hewide out seuene pileris,
智慧はその家を建て その七の柱を砍成し
2 he offride his slayn sacrifices, he medlide wijn, and settide forth his table.
その畜を宰り その酒を混和せ その筵をそなへ
3 He sente hise handmaides, that thei schulden clepe to the tour; and to the wallis of the citee.
その婢女をつかはして邑の高處に呼はりいはしむ
4 If ony man is litil; come he to me. And wisdom spak to vnwise men,
拙者よここに來れと また智慧なき者にいふ
5 Come ye, ete ye my breed; and drynke ye the wiyn, which Y haue medlid to 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 ye yong childhed, and lyue ye; and go ye bi the weyes of prudence.
拙劣をすてて生命をえ 聰明のみちを行め
7 He that techith a scornere, doith wrong to him silf; and he that vndirnymmeth a wickid man, gendrith a wem to him silf.
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 Nile thou vndirnyme a scornere; lest he hate thee. Vndirnyme thou a wise man; and he schal loue 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 Yyue thou occasioun to a wise man; and wisdom schal be encreessid to hym. Teche thou a iust man; and he schal haste to take.
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 bigynnyng of wisdom is the dreed of the Lord; and prudence is the kunnyng of seyntis.
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 thi daies schulen be multiplied bi me; and yeeris of lijf schulen be encreessid 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 art wijs; thou schalt be to thi silf, and to thi neiyboris. Forsothe if thou art a scornere; thou aloone schalt bere yuel.
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 fonned womman, and ful of cry, and ful of vnleueful lustis, and that kan no thing outirli,
愚なる婦は嘩しく且つたなくして何事をも知らず
14 sittith in the doris of hir hous, on a seete, in an hiy place of the cite;
その家の門に坐し邑のたかき處にある座にすわり
15 to clepe men passinge bi the weie, and men goynge in her iournei.
道をますぐに過る往來の人を招きていふ
16 Who is a litil man `of wit; bowe he to me. And sche spak to a coward,
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 Watris of thefte ben swettere, and breed hid is swettere.
竊みたる水は甘く密かに食ふ糧は美味ありと
