HOLY BIBLE: Proverbs 1 (original) (raw)

20 σοφία ἐν ἐξόδοις ὑμνεῖται ἐν δὲ πλατείαις παρρησίαν ἄγει 21 ἐ{P'} ἄκρων δὲ τειχέων κηρύσσεται ἐπὶ δὲ πύλαις δυναστῶν παρεδρεύει ἐπὶ δὲ πύλαις πόλεως θαρροῦσα λέγει 22 ὅσον ἂν χρόνον ἄκακοι ἔχωνται τῆς δικαιοσύνης οὐκ αἰσχυνθήσονται οἱ δὲ ἄφρονες τῆς ὕβρεως ὄντες ἐπιθυμηταί ἀσεβεῖς γενόμενοι ἐμίσησαν αἴσθησιν 23 καὶ ὑπεύθυνοι ἐγένοντο ἐλέγχοις ἰδοὺ προήσομαι ὑμῖν ἐμῆς πνοῆς ῥῆσιν διδάξω δὲ ὑμᾶς τὸν ἐμὸν λόγον 24 ἐπειδὴ ἐκάλουν καὶ οὐχ ὑπηκούσατε καὶ ἐξέτεινον λόγους καὶ οὐ προσείχετε 25 ἀλλὰ ἀκύρους ἐποιεῖτε ἐμὰς βουλάς τοῖς δὲ ἐμοῖς ἐλέγχοις ἠπειθήσατε 26 τοιγαροῦν κἀγὼ τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ ἀπωλείᾳ ἐπιγελάσομαι καταχαροῦμαι δέ ἡνίκα ἂν ἔρχηται ὑμῖν ὄλεθρος 27 καὶ ὡς ἂν ἀφίκηται ὑμῖν ἄφνω θόρυβος ἡ δὲ καταστροφὴ ὁμοίως καταιγίδι παρῇ καὶ ὅταν ἔρχηται ὑμῖν θλῖψις καὶ πολιορκία ἢ ὅταν ἔρχηται ὑμῖν ὄλεθρος

20 And all the while Wisdom is publishing her message, crying it aloud in the open streets; 21 never a meeting of roads, never a gateway, but her voice is raised, echoing above the din of it. 22 What, says she, are you still gaping there, simpletons? Do the reckless still court their own ruin? Rash fools, will you never learn? 23 Pay heed, then, to my protest; listen while I speak out my mind to you, give you open warning. 24 Since my call is unheard, since my hand beckons in vain, 25 since my counsel is despised and all my reproof goes for nothing, 26 it will be mine to laugh, to mock at your discomfiture, when perils close about you. 27 Close about you they will, affliction and sore distress, disasters that sweep down suddenly, gathering storms of ruin.

Sapientia foris prædicat;
in plateis dat vocem suam:

21
in capite turbarum clamitat;
in foribus portarum urbis profert verba sua, dicens: 22
Usquequo, parvuli, diligitis infantiam,
et stulti ea quæ sibi sunt noxia cupient,
et imprudentes odibunt scientiam? 23
convertimini ad correptionem meam.
En proferam vobis spiritum meum,
et ostendam vobis verba mea. 24
Quia vocavi, et renuistis;
extendi manum meam, et non fuit qui aspiceret: 25
despexistis omne consilium meum,
et increpationes meas neglexistis. 26
Ego quoque in interitu vestro ridebo,
et subsannabo cum vobis id quod timebatis advenerit. 27
Cum irruerit repentina calamitas,
et interitus quasi tempestas ingruerit;
quando venerit super vos tribulatio et angustia:
