箴言 知恵の泉 1
1 ダビデの子イスラエルの王ソロモンの箴言
THE PROVERBS of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2 こは人に智慧と訓誨とをしらしめ哲言を暁らせ
To know wisdom and instruction; to comprehend the words of understanding;
3 さとき訓と公義と公平と正直とをえしめ
To receive the discipline of wisdom, justice, and right, and equity;
4 拙者にさとりを與へ少者に知識と謹愼とを得させん爲なり
To give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion;
5 智慧ある者は之を聞て學にすすみ 哲者は智略をうべし
That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning, and the man of understanding may attain unto wise counsels;
6 人これによりて箴言と譬喩と智慧ある者の言とその隠語とを悟らん
To understand a proverb, and a figure; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7 ヱホバを畏るるは知識の本なり 愚なる者は智慧と訓誨とを軽んず
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and discipline.
8 我が子よ汝の父の教をきけ 汝の母の法を棄ることなかれ
Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;
9 これ汝の首の美しき冠となり 汝の項の妝飾とならん
For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10 わが子よ惡者なんぢ誘ふとも從ふことなかれ
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11 彼等なんぢにむかひて請ふ われらと偕にきたれ 我儕まちぶせして人の血を流し 無辜ものを故なきに伏てねらひ
If they say: 'Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us lurk for the innocent without cause;
Let us swallow them up alive as the grave, and whole, as those that go down into the pit; (Sheol h7585)
13 われら各様のたふとき財貨をえ 奪ひ取たる物をもて我儕の家に盈さん
We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil;
14 汝われらと偕に籤をひけ 我儕とともに一の金嚢を持べしと云とも
Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse' —
15 我が子よ彼等とともに途を歩むことなかれ 汝の足を禁めてその路にゆくこと勿れ
My son, walk not thou in the way with them, restrain thy foot from their path;
16 そは彼らの足は惡に趨り 血を流さんとて急げばなり
For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.
17 (すべて鳥の目の前にて羅を張は徒労なり)
For in vain the net is spread in the eyes of any bird;
18 彼等はおのれの血のために埋伏し おのれの命をふしてねらふ
And these lie in wait for their own blood, they lurk for their own lives.
19 凡て利を貧る者の途はかくの如し 是その持主をして生命をうしなはしむるなり
So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; it taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20 智慧外に呼はり衝に其聲をあげ
Wisdom crieth aloud in the streets, she uttereth her voice in the broad places;
21 熱閙しき所にさけび 城市の門の口邑の中にその言をのぺていふ
She calleth at the head of the noisy streets, at the entrances of the gates, in the city, she uttereth her words:
22 なんぢら拙者のつたなきを愛し 嘲笑者のあざけりを樂しみ 愚なる者の知識を惡むは何時までぞや
'How long, ye thoughtless, will ye love thoughtlessness? And how long will scorners delight them in scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 わが督斥にしたがひて心を改めよ 視よわれ我が霊を汝らにそそぎ 我が言をなんぢらに示さん
Turn you at my reproof; behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 われ呼たれども汝らこたへず 手を伸たれども顧る者なく
Because I have called, and ye refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no man attended,
25 かへつて我がすべての勧告をすて我が督斥を受ざりしに由り
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof;
26 われ汝らが禍災にあふとき之を笑ひ 汝らの恐懼きたらんとき嘲るべし
I also, in your calamity, will laugh, I will mock when your dread cometh;
27 これは汝らのおそれ颶風の如くきたり 汝らのほろび颺風の如くきたり 艱難とかなしみと汝らにきたらん時なり
When your dread cometh as a storm, and your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; when trouble and distress come upon you.
28 そのとき彼等われを呼ばん 然れどわれ應へじ 只管に我を求めん されど我に遇じ
Then will they call me, but I will not answer, they will seek me earnestly, but they shall not find me.
29 かれら知識を憎み又ヱホバを畏るることを悦ばず
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD;
30 わが勤に從はず凡て我督斥をいやしめたるによりて
They would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof.
31 己の途の果を食ひおのれの策略に飽べし
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 拙者の違逆はおのれを殺し 愚なる者の幸福はおのれを滅さん
For the waywardness of the thoughtless shall slay them, and the confidence of fools shall destroy them.
33 されど我に聞ものは平穏に住ひかつ禍害にあふ恐怖なくして安然ならん
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely, and shall be quiet without fear of evil.'
