Proverbi 31

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Verba Lamuelis regis Massa, quae erudivit eum mater eius.	1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
2 Quid, fili mi? Quid, fili uteri mei? Quid, fili votorum meorum?	2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
3 Ne dederis mulieribus substantiam tuam et vias tuas illis, quae delent reges.	3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
4 Non decet reges, o Lamuel, non decet reges bibere vinum, nec magistratus desiderare siceram,	4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
5 ne forte bibant et obliviscantur iudiciorum et mutent causam omnium filiorum pauperis.	5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
6 Date siceram pereunti et vinum his, qui amaro sunt animo:	6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
7 bibat et obliviscatur egestatis suae et doloris sui non recordetur amplius.	7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8 Aperi os tuum pro muto et causis omnium filiorum, qui pereunt;	8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
9 aperi os tuum, decerne, quod iustum est, et iudica inopem et pauperem.	9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
