King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΥΙΕ, ἐὰν δεξάμενος ρῆσιν ἐμῆς ἐντολῆς κρύψῃς παρὰ σεαυτῷ,
1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2ὑπακούσεται σοφία τὸ οὖς σου, καὶ παραβαλεῖς καρδίαν σου εἰς σύνεσιν, παραβαλεῖς δὲ αὐτὴν ἐπὶ νουθέτησιν τῷ υἱῷ σου.
2So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3ἐὰν γὰρ τὴν σοφίαν ἐπικαλέσῃ καὶ τῇ συνέσει δῷς φωνήν σου, τὴν δὲ αἴσθησιν ζητήσῃς μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ,
3Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4καὶ ἐὰν ζητήσῃς αὐτὴν ὡς ἀργύριον καὶ ὡς θησαυροὺς ἐξερευνήσῃς αὐτήν,
4If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5τότε συνήσεις φόβον Κυρίου καὶ ἐπίγνωσιν Θεοῦ εὑρήσεις.
5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD , and find the knowledge of God.
6ὅτι Κύριος δίδωσι σοφίαν, καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ γνῶσις καὶ σύνεσις·
6For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7καὶ θησαυρίζει τοῖς κατορθοῦσι σωτηρίαν, ὑπερασπιεῖ τὴν πορείαν αὐτῶν
7He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8τοῦ φυλάξαι ὁδοὺς δικαιωμάτων καὶ ὁδὸν εὐλαβουμένων αὐτὸν διαφυλάξει.
8He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9τότε συνήσεις δικαιοσύνην καὶ κρίμα καὶ κατορθώσεις πάντας ἄξονας ἀγαθούς.
9Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea , every good path.
10ἐὰν γὰρ ἔλθῃ ἡ σοφία εἰς σὴν διάνοιαν, ἡ δὲ αἴσθησις τῇ σῇ ψυχῇ καλὴ εἶναι δόξῃ,
10¶ When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11βουλὴ καλὴ φυλάξει σε, ἔννοια δὲ ὁσία τηρήσει σε,
11Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12ἵνα ρύσηταί σε ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ κακῆς καὶ ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς λαλοῦντος μηδὲν πιστόν.
12To deliver thee from the way of the evil man , from the man that speaketh froward things;
13ὦ οἱ ἐγκαταλείποντες ὁδοὺς εὐθείας τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ὁδοῖς σκότους·
13Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14οἱ εὐφραινόμενοι ἐπὶ κακοῖς καὶ χαίροντες ἐπὶ διαστροφῇ κακῆ·
14Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15ὧν αἱ τρίβοι σκολίαι καὶ καμπύλαι αἱ τροχιαὶ αὐτῶν
15Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
16τοῦ μακράν σε ποιῆσαι ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ εὐθείας καὶ ἀλλότριον τῆς δικαίας γνώμης.
16To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
17υἱέ, μή σὲ καταλάβῃ κακὴ βουλή, ἡ ἀπολιποῦσα διδασκαλίαν νεότητος καὶ διαθήκην θείαν ἐπιλελησμένη·
17Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18ἔθετο γὰρ παρὰ τῷ θανάτῳ τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς καὶ παρὰ τῷ ἅδῃ μετὰ τῶν γηγενῶν τοὺς ἄξονας αὐτῆς.
18For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19πάντες οἱ πορευόμενοι ἐν αὐτῇ οὐκ ἀναστρέψουσιν, οὐδὲ μὴ καταλάβωσι τρίβους εὐθείας· οὐ γὰρ καταλαμβάνονται ὑπὸ ἐνιαυτῶν ζωῆς.
19None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20εἰ γὰρ ἐπορεύοντο τρίβους ἀγαθάς, εὕροσαν ἂν τρίβους δικαιοσύνης λείας.
20That thou mayest walk in the way of good men , and keep the paths of the righteous.
21χρηστοὶ ἔσονται οἰκήτορες γῆς, ἄκακοι δὲ ὑπολειφθήσονται ἐν αὐτῇ· ὅτι εὐθεῖς κατασκηνώσουσι γῆν, καὶ ὅσιοι ὑπολειφθήσονται ἐν αὐτῇ.
21For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22ὁδοὶ ἀσεβῶν ἐκ γῆς ὀλοῦνται, οἱ δὲ παράνομοι ἐξωσθήσονται ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς.
22But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
