| 1 Hear, O children, a father's instruction, be attentive, that you may gain understanding! | 1 Audite, filii, disciplinam patris, et attendite ut sciatis prudentiam. |
| 2 Yes, excellent advice I give you; my teaching do not forsake. | 2 Donum bonum tribuam vobis : legem meam ne derelinquatis. |
| 3 When I was my father's child, frail, yet the darling of my mother, | 3 Nam et ego filius fui patris mei, tenellus et unigenitus coram matre mea. |
| 4 He taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart hold fast my words: keep my commands, that you may live! | 4 Et docebat me, atque dicebat : Suscipiat verba mea cor tuum ; custodi præcepta mea, et vives. |
| 5 "Get wisdom, get understanding! Do not forget or turn aside from the words I utter. | 5 Posside sapientiam, posside prudentiam : ne obliviscaris, neque declines a verbis oris mei. |
| 6 Forsake her not, and she will preserve you; love her, and she will safeguard you; | 6 Ne dimittas eam, et custodiet te : dilige eam, et conservabit te. |
| 7 The beginning of wisdom is: get wisdom; at the cost of all you have, get understanding. | 7 Principium sapientiæ : posside sapientiam, et in omni possessione tua acquire prudentiam. |
| 8 Extol her, and she will exalt you; she will bring you honors if you embrace her; | 8 Arripe illam, et exaltabit te ; glorificaberis ab ea cum eam fueris amplexatus. |
| 9 She will put on your head a graceful diadem; a glorious crown will she bestow on you." | 9 Dabit capiti tuo augmenta gratiarum, et corona inclyta proteget te. |
| 10 Hear, my son, and receive my words, and the years of your life shall be many. | 10 Audi, fili mi, et suscipe verba mea, ut multiplicentur tibi anni vitæ. |
| 11 On the way of wisdom I direct you, I lead you on straightforward paths. | 11 Viam sapientiæ monstrabo tibi ; ducam te per semitas æquitatis : |
| 12 When you walk, your step will not be impeded, and should you run, you will not stumble. | 12 quas cum ingressus fueris, non arctabuntur gressus tui, et currens non habebis offendiculum. |
| 13 Hold fast to instruction, never let her go; keep her, for she is your life. | 13 Tene disciplinam, ne dimittas eam ; custodi illam, quia ipsa est vita tua. |
| 14 The path of the wicked enter not, walk not on the way of evil men; | 14 Ne delecteris in semitis impiorum, nec tibi placeat malorum via. |
| 15 Shun it, cross it not, turn aside from it, and pass on. | 15 Fuge ab ea, nec transeas per illam ; declina, et desere eam. |
| 16 For they cannot rest unless they have done evil; to have made no one stumble steals away their sleep. | 16 Non enim dormiunt nisi malefecerint, et rapitur somnus ab eis nisi supplantaverint. |
| 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. | 17 Comedunt panem impietatis, et vinum iniquitatis bibunt. |
| 18 But the path of the just is like shining light, that grows in brilliance till perfect day. | 18 Justorum autem semita quasi lux splendens procedit, et crescit usque ad perfectam diem. |
| 19 The way of the wicked is like darkness; they know not on what they stumble. | 19 Via impiorum tenebrosa ; nesciunt ubi corruant. |
| 20 My son, to my words be attentive, to my sayings incline your ear; | 20 Fili mi, ausculta sermones meos, et ad eloquia mea inclina aurem tuam. |
| 21 Let them not slip out of your sight, keep them within your heart; | 21 Ne recedant ab oculis tuis : custodi ea in medio cordis tui : |
| 22 For they are life to those who find them, to man's whole being they are health. | 22 vita enim sunt invenientibus ea, et universæ carni sanitas. |
| 23 With closest custody, guard your heart, for in it are the sources of life. | 23 Omni custodia serva cor tuum, quia ex ipso vita procedit. |
| 24 Put away from you dishonest talk, deceitful speech put far from you. | 24 Remove a te os pravum, et detrahentia labia sint procul a te. |
| 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead and your glance be directly forward. | 25 Oculi tui recta videant, et palpebræ tuæ præcedant gressus tuos. |
| 26 Survey the path for your feet, and let all your ways be sure. | 26 Dirige semitam pedibus tuis, et omnes viæ tuæ stabilientur. |
| 27 Turn neither to right nor to left, keep your foot far from evil. | 27 Ne declines ad dexteram neque ad sinistram ; averte pedem tuum a malo : vias enim quæ a dextris sunt novit Dominus : perversæ vero sunt quæ a sinistris sunt. Ipse autem rectos faciet cursus tuos, itinera autem tua in pace producet. |
