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 her house, she hath hewn out her 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 killed her beasts; she hath mixed her wine; she hath also furnished 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 forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4 拙者よここに來れと また智慧なき者にいふ
Whoever is simple, let him turn in here: as for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him,
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 of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mixed.
6 拙劣をすてて生命をえ 聰明のみちを行め
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
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 reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: 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
Reprove not a scorner, lest he shall 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 instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
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 One is understanding.
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 thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
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 art wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
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 is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
14 その家の門に坐し邑のたかき處にある座にすわり
For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15 道をますぐに過る往來の人を招きていふ
To call those who pass by who go right on their ways:
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
Whoever is simple, let him turn in here: and as for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him,
17 竊みたる水は甘く密かに食ふ糧は美味ありと
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
