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