1Dinggin ninyo, mga anak ko, ang turo ng ama, at makinig kayo upang matuto ng kaunawaan: 2Sapagka't bibigyan ko kayo ng mabuting aral; huwag ninyong bayaan ang aking kautusan. 3Sapagka't ako'y anak sa aking ama, malumanay at bugtong sa paningin ng aking ina. 4At tinuruan niya ako, at nagsabi sa akin: Pigilan ng iyong puso ang aking mga salita; ingatan mo ang aking mga utos, at mabuhay ka: 5Magtamo ka ng karunungan, magtamo ka ng kaunawaan; huwag mong kalimutan, ni humiwalay man sa mga salita ng aking bibig: 6Huwag mo siyang pabayaan at iingatan ka niya; ibigin mo siya at iingatan ka niya. 7Karunungan ay pinaka pangulong bagay; kaya't kunin mo ang karunungan: Oo, sa lahat mong kukunin ay kunin mo ang unawa. 8Iyong ibunyi siya, at kaniyang itataas ka: kaniyang dadalhin ka sa karangalan, pagka iyong niyakap siya. 9Siya'y magbibigay sa iyong ulo ng pugong na biyaya: isang putong ng kagandahan ay kaniyang ibibigay sa iyo. 10Dinggin mo, Oh anak ko, at iyong tanggapin ang aking mga sinasabi; at ang mga taon ng iyong buhay ay magiging marami. 11Aking itinuro ka sa daan ng karunungan; aking pinatnubayan ka sa landas ng katuwiran. 12Pagka ikaw ay yumayaon hindi magigipit ang iyong mga hakbang; at kung ikaw ay tumatakbo, hindi ka matitisod. 13Hawakan mong mahigpit ang turo; huwag mong bitawan: iyong ingatan; sapagka't siya'y iyong buhay. 14Huwag kang pumasok sa landas ng masama, at huwag kang lumakad ng lakad ng mga masasamang tao. 15Ilagan mo, huwag mong daanan; likuan mo, at magpatuloy ka. 16Sapagka't hindi sila nangatutulog, malibang sila'y nakagawa ng kasamaan; at ang kanilang tulog ay napapawi, malibang sila'y makapagpabuwal. 17Sapagka't sila'y nagsisikain ng tinapay ng kasamaan, at nagsisiinom ng alak ng karahasan. 18Nguni't ang landas ng matuwid ay parang maliyab na liwanag, na sumisilang ng higit at higit sa sakdal na araw. 19Ang lakad ng masama ay parang kadiliman: Hindi nila nalalaman kung ano ang kanilang kinatitisuran. 20Anak ko, makinig ka sa aking mga salita; ikiling mo ang iyong pakinig sa aking mga sabi. 21Huwag mangahiwalay sa iyong mga mata; Ingatan mo sa kaibuturan ng iyong puso. 22Sapagka't buhay sa nangakakasumpong, at kagalingan sa buo nilang katawan. 23Ingatan mo ang iyong puso ng buong sikap; sapagka't dinadaluyan ng buhay, 24Ihiwalay mo sa iyo ang masamang bibig, at ang mga suwail na labi ay ilayo mo sa iyo. 25Tuminging matuwid ang iyong mga mata, at ang iyong mga talukap-mata ay tuminging matuwid sa harap mo. 26Papanatagin mo ang landas ng iyong mga paa, at mangatatag ang lahat ng iyong lakad. 27Huwag kang lumiko sa kanan o sa kaliwa man: ihiwalay mo ang iyong paa sa kasamaan.
1Listen, sons, to a father’s instruction. Pay attention and know understanding; 2for I give you sound learning. Don’t forsake my law. 3For I was a son to my father, tender and an only child in the sight of my mother. 4He taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live. 5Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don’t forget, neither swerve from the words of my mouth. 6Don’t forsake her, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she will keep you. 7Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding. 8Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor, when you embrace her. 9She will give to your head a garland of grace. She will deliver a crown of splendor to you.” 10Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many. 11I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in straight paths. 12When you go, your steps will not be hampered. When you run, you will not stumble. 13Take firm hold of instruction. Don’t let her go. Keep her, for she is your life. 14Don’t enter into the path of the wicked. Don’t walk in the way of evil men. 15Avoid it, and don’t pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on. 16For they don’t sleep, unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall. 17For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. 18But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that shines more and more until the perfect day. 19The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don’t know what they stumble over. 20My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings. 21Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart. 22For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole body. 23Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life. 24Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you. 25Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you. 26Make the path of your feet level. Let all of your ways be established. 27Don’t turn to the right hand nor to the left. Remove your foot from evil.
1Hoort, gij kinderen! de tucht des vaders, en merkt op, om verstand te weten. 2Dewijl ik ulieden goede leer geve, verlaat mijn wet niet. 3Want ik was mijns vaders zoon, teder, en een enige voor het aangezicht mijner moeder. 4Hij nu leerde mij, en zeide tot mij: Uw hart houde mijn woorden vast, onderhoud mijn geboden, en leef. 5Verkrijg wijsheid, verkrijg verstand; vergeet niet, en wijk niet van de redenen mijns monds. 6Verlaat ze niet, en zij zal u behoeden; heb ze lief, en zij zal u bewaren. 7De wijsheid is het voornaamste; verkrijg dan wijsheid, en verkrijg verstand met al uw bezitting. 8Verhef ze, en zij zal u verhogen; zij zal u vereren, als gij haar omhelzen zult. 9Zij zal uw hoofd een aangenaam toevoegsel geven, een sierlijke kroon zal zij u leveren. 10Hoor, mijn zoon! en neem mijn redenen aan, en de jaren des levens zullen u vermenigvuldigd worden. 11Ik onderwijs u in den weg der wijsheid; ik doe u treden in de rechte sporen. 12In uw gaan zal uw tred niet benauwd worden, en indien gij loopt, zult gij niet struikelen. 13Grijp de tucht aan, laat niet af; bewaar ze, want zij is uw leven. 14Kom niet op het pad der goddelozen, en treed niet op den weg der bozen. 15Verwerp dien, ga er niet door; wijk er van, en ga voorbij. 16Want zij slapen niet, zo zij geen kwaad gedaan hebben; en hun slaap wordt weggenomen, zo zij niet iemand hebben doen struikelen. 17Want zij eten brood der goddeloosheid, en drinken wijn van enkel geweld. 18Maar het pad der rechtvaardigen is gelijk een schijnend licht, voortgaande en lichtende tot den vollen dag toe. 19De weg der goddelozen is als donkerheid, zij weten niet, waarover zij struikelen zullen. 20Mijn zoon! merk op mijn woorden, neig uw oor tot mijn redenen. 21Laat ze niet wijken van uw ogen, behoud ze in het midden uws harten. 22Want zij zijn het leven dengenen, die ze vinden, en een medicijn voor hun gehele vlees. 23Behoed uw hart boven al wat te bewaren is, want daaruit zijn de uitgangen des levens. 24Doe de verkeerdheid des monds van u weg, en doe de verdraaidheid der lippen verre van u. 25Laat uw ogen rechtuit zien, en uw oogleden zich recht voor u heen houden. 26Weeg den gang uws voets, en laat al uw wegen wel gevestigd zijn. 27Wijk niet ter rechter hand of ter linkerhand, wend uw voet af van het kwade.
