[My] son, attend to my wisdom, and apply thine ear to my words;

ΥΙΕ, ἐμῇ σοφίᾳ πρόσεχε, ἐμοῖς δὲ λόγοις παράβαλλε σὸν οὗς,

Сы́не, мое́й премꙋ́дрости внима́й, къ мои̑мъ же словесє́мъ прилага́й ᲂу҆́хо твоѐ,

2

that thou mayest keep good understanding, and the discretion of my lips gives thee a charge. Give no heed to a worthless woman;

ἵνα φυλάξῃς ἔννοιαν ἀγαθήν· αἴσθησις δὲ ἐμῶν χειλέων ἐντέλλεταί σοι.

да сохрани́ши мы́сль бл҃гꙋ́ю: чꙋ́вство же мои́хъ ᲂу҆сте́нъ заповѣ́даетъ тебѣ̀.

3

for honey drops from the lips of a harlot, who for a season pleases thy palate:

μὴ πρόσεχε φαύλῃ γυναικί· μέλι γὰρ ἀποστάζει ἀπὸ χειλέων γυναικὸς πόρνης, ἣ πρὸς καιρὸν λιπαίνει σὸν φάρυγγα,

Не внима́й ѕлѣ́й женѣ̀: ме́дъ бо ка́плетъ ѿ ᲂу҆сте́нъ жены̀ блꙋдни́цы, ꙗ҆́же на вре́мѧ наслажда́етъ тво́й горта́нь:

4

but afterwards thou wilt find her more bitter than gall, and sharper than a two-edged sword.

ὕστερον μέντοι πικρότερον χολῆς εὑρήσεις καὶ ἠκονημένον μᾶλλον μαχαίρας διστόμου.

послѣди́ же горча́е же́лчи ѡ҆брѧ́щеши, и҆ и҆з̾ѡщре́ннꙋ па́че меча̀ ѻ҆бою́дꙋ ѻ҆́стра:

5

For the feet of folly lead those who deal with her down to the grave with death; and her steps are not established.

τῆς γὰρ ἀφροσύνης οἱ πόδες κατάγουσι τοὺς χρωμένους αὐτῇ μετὰ θανάτου εἰς τὸν ᾅδην, τὰ δὲ ἴχνη αὐτῆς οὐκ ἐρείδεται·

безꙋ́мїѧ бо но́зѣ низво́дѧтъ ᲂу҆потреблѧ́ющихъ ю҆̀ со сме́ртїю во а҆́дъ, стѡпы́ же є҆ѧ̀ не ᲂу҆твержда́ютсѧ:

6

For she goes not upon the paths of life; but her ways are slippery, and not easily known.

ὁδοὺς γὰρ ζωῆς οὐκ ἐπέρχεται, σφαλεραὶ δὲ αἱ τροχιαὶ αὐτῆς καὶ οὐκ εὔγνωστοι.

на пꙋти̑ бо живѡ́тныѧ не нахо́дитъ, заблꙋждє́нна же течє́нїѧ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ неблагоразꙋ̑мна.

7

Now then, [my] son, hear me, and make not my words of none effect.

νῦν οὖν, υἱέ, ἄκουέ μου καὶ μὴ ἀκύρους ποιήσῃς ἐμοὺς λόγους.

Нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо, сы́не, послꙋ́шай менѐ и҆ не ѿриновє́нна сотворѝ моѧ̑ словеса̀:

8

Remove thy way far from her; draw not near to the doors of her house:

μακρὰν ποίησον ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς σὴν ὁδόν, μὴ ἐγγίσῃς πρὸς θύραις οἴκων αὐτῆς,

дале́че ѿ неѧ̀ сотворѝ пꙋ́ть тво́й и҆ не прибли́жисѧ ко две́ремъ домѡ́въ є҆ѧ̀,

9

lest thou give away thy life to others, and thy substance to the merciless:

ἵνα μὴ πρόῃ ἄλλοις ζωήν σου καὶ σὸν βίον ἀνελεήμοσιν·

да не преда́стъ и҆ны̑мъ живота̀ твоегѡ̀, и҆ твоегѡ̀ житїѧ̀ неми́лѡстивымъ,

10

lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours come into the houses of strangers;

ἵνα μὴ πλησθῶσιν ἀλλότριοι σῆς ἰσχύος, οἱ δὲ σοὶ πόνοι εἰς οἴκους ἀλλοτρίων ἔλθωσι

да не насы́тѧтсѧ и҆ні́и твоеѧ̀ крѣ́пости, твои́ же трꙋды̀ въ до́мы чꙋжды̑ѧ вни́дꙋтъ,

11

And thou repent at last, when the flesh of thy body is consumed,

καὶ μεταμεληθήσῃ ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτων, ἡνίκα ἂν κατατριβῶσι σάρκες σωματός σου,

и҆ раска́ешисѧ на послѣ́докъ тво́й, є҆гда̀ и҆стрꙋ́тсѧ плѡ́ти тѣ́ла твоегѡ̀, и҆ рече́ши:

12

and thou shalt say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart avoided reproofs!

καὶ ἐρεῖς· πῶς ἐμίσησα παιδείαν, καὶ ἐλέγχους ἐξέκλινεν ἡ καρδία μου;

ка́кѡ возненави́дѣхъ наказа́нїе, и҆ ѿ ѡ҆бличе́нїй ᲂу҆клони́сѧ се́рдце моѐ;

13

I heard not the voice of him that instructed me, and taught me, neither did I apply mine ear.

οὐκ ἤκουον φωνὴν παιδεύοντός με καὶ διδάσκοντός με, οὐδὲ παρέβαλλον τὸ οὖς μου·

не послꙋ́шахъ гла́са наказꙋ́ющагѡ мѧ̀, и҆ ко ᲂу҆ча́щемꙋ мѧ̀ не прилага́хъ ᲂу҆́ха моегѡ̀:

14

I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

παρ᾿ ὀλίγον ἐγενόμην ἐν παντὶ κακῷ ἐν μέσῳ ἐκκλησίας καὶ συναγωγῆς.

вма́лѣ бѣ́хъ во всѧ́цѣмъ ѕлѣ̀ посредѣ̀ цр҃кве и҆ со́нмища.

15

Drink waters out of thine own vessels, and out of thine own springing wells.

πῖνε ὕδατα ἀπὸ σῶν ἀγγείων καὶ ἀπὸ σῶν φρεάτων πηγῆς.

Сы́не, пі́й во́ды ѿ свои́хъ сосꙋ́дѡвъ и҆ ѿ твои́хъ кладенцє́въ и҆сто́чника:

16

Let not waters out of thy fountain be spilt by thee, but let thy waters go into thy streets.

μὴ ὑπερεκχείσθω σοι ὕδατα ἐκ τῆς σῆς πηγῆς, εἰς δὲ σὰς πλατείας διαπορευέσθω τὰ σὰ ὕδατα·

да преизлива́ютсѧ тебѣ̀ во́ды ѿ твоегѡ̀ и҆сто́чника, во твоѧ̑ же пꙋти̑ да происхо́дѧтъ твоѧ̑ во́ды.

17

Let them be only thine own, and let no stranger partake with thee.

ἔστω σοι μόνῳ ὑπάρχοντα, καὶ μηδεὶς ἀλλότριος μετασχέτω σοι·

Да бꙋ́дꙋтъ тебѣ̀ є҆ди́номꙋ и҆мѣ̑нїѧ, и҆ да никто́же чꙋ́ждь причасти́тсѧ тебѣ̀.

18

Let thy fountain of water be [truly] thine own; and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

ἡ πηγή σου τοῦ ὕδατος ἔστω σοι ἰδία, καὶ συνευφραίνου μετὰ γυναικὸς τῆς ἐκ νεότητός σου.

И҆сто́чникъ твоеѧ̀ воды̀ да бꙋ́детъ тебѣ̀ тво́й, и҆ весели́сѧ съ жено́ю, ꙗ҆́же ѿ ю҆́ности твоеѧ̀:

19

Let [thy] loving hart and thy graceful colt company with thee, and let her be considered thine own, and be with thee at all times; for ravished with her love thou shalt be greatly increased.

ἔλαφος φιλίας καὶ πῶλος σῶν χαρίτων ὁμιλείτω σοι· ἡ δὲ ἰδία ἡγείσθω σου καὶ συνέστω σοι ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ, ἐν γὰρ τῇ ταύτης φιλίᾳ συμπεριφερόμενος πολλοστὸς ἔσῃ.

є҆ле́нь любвѐ и҆ жребѧ̀ твои́хъ благода́тей да бесѣ́дꙋетъ тебѣ̀, твоѧ́ же да пред̾и́детъ тебѣ̀ и҆ да бꙋ́детъ съ тобо́ю во всѧ́ко вре́мѧ: въ дрꙋ́жбѣ бо сеѧ̀ спребыва́ѧй ᲂу҆мно́женъ бꙋ́деши.

20

Be not intimate with a strange woman, neither fold thyself in the arms of a woman not thine own.

μὴ πολὺς ἴσθι πρὸς ἀλλοτρίαν, μηδὲ συνέχου ἀγκάλαις τῆς μὴ ἰδίας·

Не мно́гъ бꙋ́ди къ чꙋжде́й, нижѐ ѡ҆б̾ѧ́тъ бꙋ́ди ѡ҆б̾ѧ̑тїи не твоеѧ̀:

21

For the ways of a man are before the eyes of God, and he looks on all his paths.

ἐνώπιον γάρ εἰσι τῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ ὀφθαλμῶν ὁδοὶ ἀνδρός, εἰς δὲ πάσας τὰς τροχιὰς αὐτοῦ σκοπεύει.

пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма бо сꙋ́ть бж҃їима пꙋтїѐ мꙋ́жа, всѧ̑ же течє́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ назира́етъ.

22

Iniquities ensnare a man, and every one is bound in the chains of his own sins.

παρονομίαι ἄνδρα ἀγρεύουσι, σειραῖς δὲ τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ἁμαρτιῶν ἕκαστος σφίγγεται·

Законопрестꙋплє́нїѧ мꙋ́жа ᲂу҆ловлѧ́ютъ: плени́цами же свои́хъ грѣхѡ́въ кі́йждо затѧза́етсѧ.

23

Such a man dies with the uninstructed; and he is cast forth from the abundance of his own substance, and has perished through folly.

οὗτος τελευτᾷ μετὰ ἀπαιδεύτων, ἐκ δὲ πλήθους τῆς ἑαυτοῦ βιότητος ἐξερρίφη καὶ ἀπώλετο δι᾿ ἀφροσύνην.

Се́й скончава́етсѧ съ ненака́занными: ѿ мно́жества же своегѡ̀ житїѧ̀ и҆зве́ржетсѧ и҆ погиба́етъ за безꙋ́мїе.
