箴言 知恵の泉 9
1 智慧はその家を建て その七の柱を砍成し
Wisdom hath built herself a house, she hath hewn her out seven pillars.
2 その畜を宰り その酒を混和せ その筵をそなへ
She hath slain her victims, mingled her wine, and set forth her table.
3 その婢女をつかはして邑の高處に呼はりいはしむ
She hath sent her maids to invite to the tower, and to the walls of the city:
4 拙者よここに來れと また智慧なき者にいふ
Whosoever is a little one, let him come to me. And to the unwise she said:
5 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
Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you.
6 拙劣をすてて生命をえ 聰明のみちを行め
Forsake childishness, and live, and walk by the ways of prudence.
7 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
He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself: and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot.
8 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
Rebuke not a scorner lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9 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
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.
10 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
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is prudence.
11 我により汝の日は多くせられ 汝のいのちの年は増べし
For by me shall thy days be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.
12 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
If thou be wise, thou shalt be so to thyself: and if a scorner, thou alone shalt bear the evil.
13 愚なる婦は嘩しく且つたなくして何事をも知らず
A foolish woman and clamorous, and full of allurements, and knowing nothing at all,
14 その家の門に坐し邑のたかき處にある座にすわり
Sat at the door of her house, upon a seat, in a high place of the city,
15 道をますぐに過る往來の人を招きていふ
To call them that pass by the way, and go on their journey:
16 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
He that is a little one, let him turn to me. And to the fool she said:
17 竊みたる水は甘く密かに食ふ糧は美味ありと
Stolen waters are sweeter, and hid den bread is more pleasant.
