Proverbs 9
1 Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars:
智慧はその家を建て その七の柱を砍成し
2 She has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine; she has also furnished her table.
その畜を宰り その酒を混和せ その筵をそなへ
3 She has sent forth her maidens: she cries upon the highest places of the city,
その婢女をつかはして邑の高處に呼はりいはしむ
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in here: as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
拙者よここに來れと また智慧なき者にいふ
5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
汝等きたりて我が糧を食ひ わがまぜあはせたる洒をのみ
6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
拙劣をすてて生命をえ 聡明のみちを行め
7 He that reproves a scorner gets to himself shame: and he that rebukes a wicked man gets himself a blot.
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 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you: rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
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 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
智慧ある者に授けよ 彼はますます智慧をえん 義者を教へよ 彼は知識に監まん
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
ヱホバを畏るることは智慧の根本なり 聖者を知るは聡明なり
11 For by me your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased.
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 you be wise, you shall be wise for yourself: but if you scorn, you alone shall bear it.
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 foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knows nothing.
愚なる婦は嘩しく且つたなくして何事をも知らず
14 For she sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
その家の門に坐し邑のたかき處にある座にすわり
15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
道をますぐに過る往來の人を招きていふ
16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in here: and as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
拙者よここに來れと また智慧な在りき人にむかひては之にいふ
17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
竊みたる水は甘く密かに食ふ糧は美味ありと
