1Wisdom shall praise her own self, and shall be honoured in God, and shall glory in the midst of her people,
1A sabedoria louvará a si mesma e proclamará sua glória no meio de seu povo.
2And shall open her mouth in the churches of the most High, and shall glorify herself in the sight of his power,
2Abrirá a boca na assembleia do Altíssimo e proclamará sua glória diante de seu poder:
3And in the midst of her own people she shall be exalted, and shall be admired in the holy assembly.
3“Eu saí da boca do Altíssimo e cobri a terra como neblina.
4And in the multitude of the elect she shall have praise, and among the blessed she shall be blessed, saying:
4Habitei nas alturas, e meu trono estava na coluna de nuvem.
5I came out of the mouth of the most High, the firstborn before all creatures:
5Sozinha percorri o círculo do céu e caminhei pelas profundezas do abismo.
6I made that in the heavens there should rise light that never faileth, and as a cloud I covered all the earth:
6Nas ondas do mar, em toda a terra, em todo povo e em toda nação, estabeleci domínio.
7I dwelt in the highest places, and my throne is in a pillar of a cloud.
7Entre todos eles procurei descanso. Em qual herança deveria habitar?
8I alone have compassed the circuit of heaven, and have penetrated into the bottom of the deep, and have walked in the waves of the sea,
8Então o Criador de todas as coisas me deu uma ordem. Aquele que me criou fez minha tenda encontrar descanso e disse: ‘Habite em Jacó, e tenha sua herança em Israel.’
9And have stood in all the earth: and in every people,
9Ele me criou desde o princípio, antes das eras, e por todas as eras não deixarei de existir.
10And in every nation I have had the chief rule:
10No santo tabernáculo servi diante dele, e assim fui estabelecida em Sião.
11And by my power I have trodden under my feet the hearts of all the high and low: and in all these I sought rest, and I shall abide in the inheritance of the Lord.
11Na cidade amada, do mesmo modo, ele me deu descanso, e em Jerusalém estava meu domínio.
12Then the creator of all things commanded, and said to me: and he that made me, rested in my tabernacle,
12Criei raízes num povo honrado, na porção que pertence à herança do Senhor.
13And he said to me: Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thy inheritance in Israel, and take root in my elect.
13Fui exaltada como um cedro no Líbano e como um cipreste nas montanhas do Hermom.
14From the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come I shall not cease to be, and in the holy dwelling place I have ministered before him.
14Fui exaltada como uma palmeira à beira-mar, como roseiras em Jericó e como uma bela oliveira na planície. Fui exaltada como um plátano.
15And so was I established in Sion, and in the holy city likewise I rested, and my power was in Jerusalem.
15Como canela e aspalato, exalei perfume; como mirra escolhida, espalhei agradável fragrância, como gálbano, ônica e estoraque, e como o aroma do incenso no tabernáculo.
16And I took root in an honourable people, and in the portion of my God his inheritance, and my abode is in the full assembly of saints.
16Como o terebinto, estendi meus ramos, e meus ramos são gloriosos e graciosos.
17I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree on mount Sion.
17Como a videira, produzi graça, e minhas flores são frutos de glória e riqueza.
18I was exalted like a palm tree in Cades, and as a rose plant in Jericho:

20I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon. and aromatical balm: I yielded a sweet odour like the best myrrh:
20Pois minha lembrança é mais doce que o mel, e minha herança, mais doce que o favo de mel.
21And I perfumed my dwelling as storax, and galbanum, and onyx, and aloes, and as the frankincense not cut, and my odour is as the purest balm.
21Os que me comem continuarão com fome de mim, e os que me bebem continuarão com sede de mim.
22I have stretched out my branches as the turpentine tree, and my branches are of honour and grace.
22Quem me obedece não ficará envergonhado, e os que trabalham comigo não pecarão.”
23As the vine I have brought forth a pleasant odour: and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches.
23Todas essas coisas são o livro da aliança do Deus Altíssimo, a Lei que Moisés nos ordenou como herança para as assembleias de Jacó.

28My memory is unto everlasting generations.
28O primeiro homem não a conheceu plenamente, e do mesmo modo o último não a sondou.
29They that eat me, shall yet hunger: and they that drink me, shall yet thirst.
29Pois seus pensamentos são mais profundos que o mar, e seus conselhos, mais profundos que o grande abismo.
30He that hearkeneth to me, shall not be confounded: and they that work by me, shall not sin.
30Eu saí como um canal de um rio e como um curso de irrigação para um jardim.
31They that explain me shall have life everlasting.
31Eu disse: “Regarei meu jardim e encharcarei meu canteiro.” Então meu canal se tornou um rio, e meu rio se tornou um mar.
32All these things are the book of life, and the covenant of the most High, and the knowledge of truth.
32Ainda farei a instrução brilhar como a manhã e tornarei essas coisas conhecidas de longe.
