Proverbs 2
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
1[Fili mi, si susceperis sermones meos, et mandata mea absconderis penes te:
2So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
2ut audiat sapientiam auris tua, inclina cor tuum ad cognoscendam prudentiam.
3Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
3Si enim sapientiam invocaveris, et inclinaveris cor tuum prudentiæ;
4If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
4si quæsieris eam quasi pecuniam, et sicut thesauros effoderis illam:
5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD , and find the knowledge of God.
5tunc intelliges timorem Domini, et scientiam Dei invenies,
6For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
6quia Dominus dat sapientiam, et ex ore ejus prudentia et scientia.
7He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
7Custodiet rectorum salutem, et proteget gradientes simpliciter,
8He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
8servans semitas justitiæ, et vias sanctorum custodiens.
9Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea , every good path.
9Tunc intelliges justitiam, et judicium, et æquitatem, et omnem semitam bonam.]
10¶ When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
10[Si intraverit sapientia cor tuum, et scientia animæ tuæ placuerit,
11Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
11consilium custodiet te, et prudentia servabit te:
12To deliver thee from the way of the evil man , from the man that speaketh froward things;
12ut eruaris a via mala, et ab homine qui perversa loquitur;
13Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
13qui relinquunt iter rectum, et ambulant per vias tenebrosas;
14Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
14qui lætantur cum malefecerint, et exsultant in rebus pessimis;
15Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
15quorum viæ perversæ sunt, et infames gressus eorum.
16To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
16Ut eruaris a muliere aliena, et ab extranea quæ mollit sermones suos,
17Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
17et relinquit ducem pubertatis suæ,
18For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
18et pacti Dei sui oblita est. Inclinata est enim ad mortem domus ejus, et ad inferos semitæ ipsius.
19None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
19Omnes qui ingrediuntur ad eam non revertentur, nec apprehendent semitas vitæ.
20That thou mayest walk in the way of good men , and keep the paths of the righteous.
20Ut ambules in via bona, et calles justorum custodias:
21For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
21qui enim recti sunt habitabunt in terra, et simplices permanebunt in ea;
22But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
22impii vero de terra perdentur, et qui inique agunt auferentur ex ea.]
