1 מִשְׁלֵי שְׁלֹמֹה בֶן־דָּוִד מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל	1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
2 לָדַעַת חָכְמָה וּמוּסָר לְהָבִין אִמְרֵי בִינָה	2 for learning what wisdom and discipline are, for understanding words of deep meaning,
3 לָקַחַת מוּסַר הַשְׂכֵּל צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט וּמֵישָׁרִים	3 for acquiring a disciplined insight, uprightness, justice and fair dealing;
4 לָתֵת לִפְתָאיִם עָרְמָה לְנַעַר דַּעַת וּמְזִמָּה	4 for teaching sound judgement to the simple, and knowledge and reflection to the young;
5 יִשְׁמַע חָכָם וְיֹוסֶף לֶקַח וְנָבֹון תַּחְבֻּלֹות יִקְנֶה	5 Let the wise listen and learn yet more, and a person of discernment wil acquire the art of guidance.
6 לְהָבִין מָשָׁל וּמְלִיצָה דִּבְרֵי חֲכָמִים וְחִידֹתָם	6 for perceiving the meaning of proverbs and obscure sayings, the sayings of the sages and their riddles.
7 יִרְאַת יְהוָה רֵאשִׁית דָּעַת חָכְמָה וּמוּסָר אֱוִילִים בָּזוּ׃ פ	7 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; fools spurn wisdom and discipline.
8 שְׁמַע בְּנִי מוּסַר אָבִיךָ וְאַל־תִּטֹּשׁ תֹּורַת אִמֶּךָ	8 Listen, my child, to your father's instruction, do not reject your mother's teaching:
9 כִּי ׀ לִוְיַת חֵן הֵם לְרֹאשֶׁךָ וַעֲנָקִים לְגַרְגְּרֹתֶיךָ	9 they wil be a crown of grace for your head, a circlet for your neck.
10 בְּנִי אִם־יְפַתּוּךָ חַטָּאִים אַל־תֹּבֵא	10 My child, if sinners try to seduce you, do not go with them.
11 אִם־יֹאמְרוּ לְכָה אִתָּנוּ נֶאֶרְבָה לְדָם נִצְפְּנָה לְנָקִי חִנָּם	11 If they say, 'Come with us: let us lie in ambush to shed blood; if we plan an ambush for the innocentwithout provocation,
12 נִבְלָעֵם כִּשְׁאֹול חַיִּים וּתְמִימִים כְּיֹורְדֵי בֹור	12 we can swal ow them alive, like Sheol, and whole, like those who sink into oblivion.
13 כָּל־הֹון יָקָר נִמְצָא נְמַלֵּא בָתֵּינוּ שָׁלָל	13 We shal find treasures of every sort, we shall fil our houses with plunder;
14 גֹּורָלְךָ תַּפִּיל בְּתֹוכֵנוּ כִּיס אֶחָד יִהְיֶה לְכֻלָּנוּ	14 throw in your lot with us: one purse between us al .'
15 בְּנִי אַל־תֵּלֵךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ אִתָּם מְנַע רַגְלְךָ מִנְּתִיבָתָם	15 My child, do not fol ow them in their way, keep your steps out of their path
16 כִּי רַגְלֵיהֶם לָרַע יָרוּצוּ וִימַהֲרוּ לִשְׁפָּךְ־דָּם	16 for their feet hasten to evil, they are quick to shed blood;
17 כִּי־חִנָּם מְזֹרָה הָרָשֶׁת בְּעֵינֵי כָל־בַּעַל כָּנָף	17 for the net is spread in vain if any winged creature can see it.
18 וְהֵם לְדָמָם יֶאֱרֹבוּ יִצְפְּנוּ לְנַפְשֹׁתָם	18 It is for their own blood such people lie in wait, their ambush is against their own selves!
19 כֵּן אָרְחֹות כָּל־בֹּצֵעַ בָּצַע אֶת־נֶפֶשׁ בְּעָלָיו יִקָּח׃ פ	19 Such are the paths of al who seek dishonest gain: which robs of their lives al who take it for their own.
20 חָכְמֹות בַּחוּץ תָּרֹנָּה בָּרְחֹבֹות תִּתֵּן קֹולָהּ	20 Wisdom cal s aloud in the streets, she raises her voice in the public squares;
21 בְּרֹאשׁ הֹמִיֹּות תִּקְרָא בְּפִתְחֵי שְׁעָרִים בָּעִיר אֲמָרֶיהָ תֹאמֵר	21 she cal s out at the street corners, she delivers her message at the city gates.
22 עַד־מָתַי ׀ פְּתָיִם תְּאֵהֲבוּ פֶתִי וְלֵצִים לָצֹון חָמְדוּ לָהֶם וּכְסִילִים יִשְׂנְאוּ־דָעַת	22 'You simple people, how much longer will you cling to your simple ways? How much longer willmockers revel in their mocking and fools go on hating knowledge?
23 תָּשׁוּבוּ לְתֹוכַחְתִּי הִנֵּה אַבִּיעָה לָכֶם רוּחִי אֹודִיעָה דְבָרַי אֶתְכֶם	23 Pay attention to my warning. To you I wil pour out my heart and tel you what I have to say.
24 יַעַן קָרָאתִי וַתְּמָאֵנוּ נָטִיתִי יָדִי וְאֵין מַקְשִׁיב	24 Since I have cal ed and you have refused me, since I have beckoned and no one has taken notice,
25 וַתִּפְרְעוּ כָל־עֲצָתִי וְתֹוכַחְתִּי לֹא אֲבִיתֶם	25 since you have ignored al my advice and rejected al my warnings,
26 גַּם־אֲנִי בְּאֵידְכֶם אֶשְׂחָק אֶלְעַג בְּבֹא פַחְדְּכֶם	26 I, for my part, shall laugh at your distress, I shal jeer when terror befal s you,
27 בְּבֹא [כְשַׁאֲוָה כ] (כְשֹׁואָה ׀ ק) פַּחְדְּכֶם וְאֵידְכֶם כְּסוּפָה יֶאֱתֶה בְּבֹא עֲלֵיכֶם צָרָה וְצוּקָה	27 when terror befal s you, like a storm, when your distress arrives, like a whirlwind, when ordeal andanguish bear down on you.
28 אָז יִקְרָאֻנְנִי וְלֹא אֶעֱנֶה יְשַׁחֲרֻנְנִי וְלֹא יִמְצָאֻנְנִי	28 Then they will cal me, but I shal not answer, they wil look eagerly for me and will not find me.
29 תַּחַת כִּי־שָׂנְאוּ דָעַת וְיִרְאַת יְהֹוָה לֹא בָחָרוּ	29 They have hated knowledge, they have not chosen the fear of Yahweh,
30 לֹא־אָבוּ לַעֲצָתִי נָאֲצוּ כָּל־תֹּוכַחְתִּי	30 they have taken no notice of my advice, they have spurned al my warnings:
31 וְיֹאכְלוּ מִפְּרִי דַרְכָּם וּמִמֹּעֲצֹתֵיהֶם יִשְׂבָּעוּ	31 so they wil have to eat the fruits of their own ways of life, and choke themselves with their ownscheming.
32 כִּי מְשׁוּבַת פְּתָיִם תַּהַרְגֵם וְשַׁלְוַת כְּסִילִים תְּאַבְּדֵם	32 For the errors of the simple lead to their death, the complacency of fools works their own ruin;
33 וְשֹׁמֵעַ לִי יִשְׁכָּן־בֶּטַח וְשַׁאֲנַן מִפַּחַד רָעָה׃ פ	33 but whoever listens to me may live secure, will have quiet, fearing no mischance.'
