| 1 | Υἱέ, ἐὰν δεξάμενος ῥῆσιν ἐμῆς ἐντολῆς κρύψῃς παρὰ σεαυτῷ, |
[My] son, if you will receive the utterance of my commandment, and hide it with you; | The rewards of Wisdom. Pr.2.1-22 | My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, | בְּנִי אִם־תִּקַּח אֲמָרָי וּמִצְוֹתַי תִּצְפֹּן אִתָּךְ׃ | 1 |
| 2 | ὑπακούσεται σοφίας τὸ οὖς σου, καὶ παραβαλεῖς καρδίαν σου εἰς σύνεσιν, παραβαλεῖς δὲ αὐτὴν ἐπὶ νουθέτησιν τῷ υἱῷ σου. |
your ear shall listen to wisdom; you shall also apply your heart to understanding, and shall apply it to the instruction of your son. | making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; | לְהַקְשִׁיב לַחָכְמָה אָזְנֶךָ תַּטֶּה לִבְּךָ לַתְּבוּנָה׃ | 2 | |
| 3 | ἐὰν γὰρ τὴν σοφίαν ἐπικαλέσῃ καὶ τῇ συνέσει δῷς φωνήν σου, τὴν δὲ αἴσθησιν ζητήσῃς μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ, |
For it you shall call to wisdom, and utter your voice for understanding; | yes, if you cry out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, | כִּי אִם לַבִּינָה תִקְרָא לַתְּבוּנָה תִּתֵּן קֹולֶךָ׃ | 3 | |
| 4 | καὶ ἐὰν ζητήσῃς αὐτὴν ὡς ἀργύριον καὶ ὡς θησαυροὺς ἐξερευνήσῃς αὐτήν, |
and if you shall seek it as silver, and search diligently for it as for treasures; | if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures; | אִם־תְּבַקְשֶׁנָּה כַכָּסֶף וְכַמַּטְמֹונִים תַּחְפְּשֶׂנָּה׃ | 4 | |
| 5 | τότε συνήσεις φόβον κυρίου καὶ ἐπίγνωσιν θεοῦ εὑρήσεις. |
then shall you understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. | then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. | אָז תָּבִין יִרְאַת יְהוָה וְדַעַת אֱלֹהִים תִּמְצָא׃ | 5 | |
| 6 | ὅτι κύριος δίδωσιν σοφίαν, καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ γνῶσις καὶ σύνεσις· |
For the Lord gives wisdom; and from his presence [come] knowledge and understanding, | For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; | כִּי־יְהוָה יִתֵּן חָכְמָה מִפִּיו דַּעַת וּתְבוּנָה׃ | 6 | |
| 7 | καὶ θησαυρίζει τοῖς κατορθοῦσι σωτηρίαν, ὑπερασπιεῖ τὴν πορείαν αὐτῶν |
and he treasures up salvation for them that walk uprightly: he will protect their way; | he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, | {כ= וְצָפַן} {ק= יִצְפֹּן} לַיְשָׁרִים תּוּשִׁיָּה מָגֵן לְהֹלְכֵי תֹם׃ | 7 | |
| 8 | τοῦ φυλάξαι ὁδοὺς δικαιωμάτων καὶ ὁδὸν εὐλαβουμένων αὐτὸν διαφυλάξει. |
that he may guard the righteous ways: and he will preserve the way of them that fear him. | guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his saints. | לִנְצֹר אָרְחֹות מִשְׁפָּט וְדֶרֶךְ {כ= חֲסִידֹו} {ק= חֲסִידָיו} יִשְׁמֹר׃ | 8 | |
| 9 | τότε συνήσεις δικαιοσύνην καὶ κρίμα καὶ κατορθώσεις πάντας ἄξονας ἀγαθούς. |
Then shall you understand righteousness, and judgement; and shall direct all your course aright. | Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; | אָז תָּבִין צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט וּמֵישָׁרִים כָּל־מַעְגַּל־טֹוב׃ | 9 | |
| 10 | ἐὰν γὰρ ἔλθῃ ἡ σοφία εἰς σὴν διάνοιαν, ἡ δὲ αἴσθησις τῇ σῇ ψυχῇ καλὴ εἶναι δόξῃ, |
For if wisdom shall come into your understanding, and discernment shall seem pleasing to your soul, | for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; | כִּי־תָבֹוא חָכְמָה בְלִבֶּךָ וְדַעַת לְנַפְשְׁךָ יִנְעָם׃ | 10 | |
| 11 | βουλὴ καλὴ φυλάξει σε, ἔννοια δὲ ὁσία τηρήσει σε, |
good counsel shall guard you, and holy understanding shall keep you; | discretion will watch over you; understanding will guard you; | מְזִמָּה תִּשְׁמֹר עָלֶיךָ תְּבוּנָה תִנְצְרֶכָּה׃ | 11 | |
| 12 | ἵνα ῥύσηταί σε ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ κακῆς καὶ ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς λαλοῦντος μηδὲν πιστόν. |
to deliver you from the evil way, and from the man that speaks nothing faithfully. | delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech, | לְהַצִּילְךָ מִדֶּרֶךְ רָע מֵאִישׁ מְדַבֵּר תַּהְפֻּכֹות׃ | 12 | |
| 13 | ὦ οἱ ἐγκαταλείποντες ὁδοὺς εὐθείας τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ὁδοῖς σκότους, |
Alas [for those] who forsake right paths, to walk in ways of darkness; | who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, | הַעֹזְבִים אָרְחֹות יֹשֶׁר לָלֶכֶת בְּדַרְכֵי־חֹשֶׁךְ׃ | 13 | |
| 14 | οἱ εὐφραινόμενοι ἐπὶ κακοῖς καὶ χαίροντες ἐπὶ διαστροφῇ κακῇ, |
who rejoice in evils, and delight in wicked perverseness; | who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil; | הַשְּׂמֵחִים לַעֲשֹׂות רָע יָגִילוּ בְּתַהְפֻּכֹות רָע׃ | 14 | |
| 15 | ὧν αἱ τρίβοι σκολιαὶ καὶ καμπύλαι αἱ τροχιαὶ αὐτῶν |
whose paths are crooked, and their courses winding; | men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways. | אֲשֶׁר אָרְחֹתֵיהֶם עִקְּשִׁים וּנְלֹוזִים בְּמַעְגְּלֹותָם׃ | 15 | |
| 16 | τοῦ μακράν σε ποιῆσαι ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ εὐθείας καὶ ἀλλότριον τῆς δικαίας γνώμης. |
to remove you far from the straight way, and to estrange you from a righteous purpose. [My] son, let not evil counsel overtake you, | You will be saved from the loose woman, from the adventuress with her smooth words, | לְהַצִּילְךָ מֵאִשָּׁה זָרָה מִנָּכְרִיָּה אֲמָרֶיהָ הֶחֱלִיקָה׃ | 16 | |
| 17 | υἱέ, μή σε καταλάβῃ κακὴ βουλὴ ἡ ἀπολείπουσα διδασκαλίαν νεότητος καὶ διαθήκην θείαν ἐπιλελησμένη· |
[of her] who has forsaken the instruction of her youth, and forgotten the covenant of God. | who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God; | הַעֹזֶבֶת אַלּוּף נְעוּרֶיהָ וְאֶת־בְּרִית אֱלֹהֶיהָ שָׁכֵחָה׃ | 17 | |
| 18 | ἔθετο γὰρ παρὰ τῷ θανάτῳ τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς καὶ παρὰ τῷ ᾅδῃ μετὰ τῶν γηγενῶν τοὺς ἄξονας αὐτῆς· |
For she has fixed her house near death, and [guided] her wheels near Hades with the giants. | for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the shades; | כִּי שָׁחָה אֶל־מָוֶת בֵּיתָהּ וְאֶל־רְפָאִים מַעְגְּלֹתֶיהָ׃ | 18 | |
| 19 | πάντες οἱ πορευόμενοι ἐν αὐτῇ οὐκ ἀναστρέψουσιν οὐδὲ μὴ καταλάβωσιν τρίβους εὐθείας· οὐ γὰρ καταλαμβάνονται ὑπὸ ἐνιαυτῶν ζωῆς. |
None that go by her shall return, neither shall they take hold of right paths, for they are not apprehended of the years of life. | none who go to her come back nor do they regain the paths of life. | כָּל־בָּאֶיהָ לֹא יְשׁוּבוּן וְלֹא־יַשִּׂיגוּ אָרְחֹות חַיִּים׃ | 19 | |
| 20 | εἰ γὰρ ἐπορεύοντο τρίβους ἀγαθάς, εὕροσαν ἂν τρίβους δικαιοσύνης λείους. |
For had they gone in good paths, they would have found the paths of righteousness easy. | So you will walk in the way of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous. | לְמַעַן תֵּלֵךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ טֹובִים וְאָרְחֹות צַדִּיקִים תִּשְׁמֹר׃ | 20 | |
| 21 | χρηστοὶ ἔσονται οἰκήτορες γῆς, ἄκακοι δὲ ὑπολειφθήσονται ἐν αὐτῇ, ὅτι εὐθεῖς κατασκηνώσουσι γῆν, καὶ ὅσιοι ὑπολειφθήσονται ἐν αὐτῇ· |
For the upright shall dwell in the earth, and the holy shall be left behind in it. | For the upright will inhabit the land, and men of integrity will remain in it; | כִּי־יְשָׁרִים יִשְׁכְּנוּ־אָרֶץ וּתְמִימִים יִוָּתְרוּ בָהּ׃ | 21 | |
| 22 | ὁδοὶ ἀσεβῶν ἐκ γῆς ὀλοῦνται, οἱ δὲ παράνομοι ἐξωσθήσονται ἀπ' αὐτῆς. |
The paths of the ungodly shall perish out of the earth, and transgressors shall be driven away from it. | but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it. | וּרְשָׁעִים מֵאֶרֶץ יִכָּרֵתוּ וּבֹוגְדִים יִסְּחוּ מִמֶּנָּה׃ ף | 22 | |
