[My] son, keep my words, and hide with thee my commandments. [My] son, honour the Lord, and thou shalt be strong; and fear none but him:

ΥΙΕ, φύλασσε ἐμοὺς λόγους, τὰς δὲ ἐμὰς ἐντολὰς κρύψον παρὰ σεαυτῷ. υἱέ, τίμα τὸν Κύριον, καὶ ἰσχύσεις, πλὴν δὲ αὐτοῦ μὴ φοβοῦ ἄλλον.

Сы́не, хранѝ моѧ̑ словеса̀, моѧ̑ же за́пѡвѣди скры́й ᲂу҆ себє̀. Сы́не, чтѝ гдⷭ҇а, и҆ ᲂу҆крѣпи́шисѧ: кромѣ́ же є҆гѡ̀ не бо́йсѧ и҆но́гѡ.

2

keep my commandments, and thou shalt live; and [keep] my words as the pupils of [thine] eyes.

φύλαξον ἐμὰς ἐντολάς, καὶ βιώσεις, τοὺς δὲ ἐμοὺς λόγους ὥσπερ κόρας ὀμμάτων·

Хранѝ моѧ̑ за́пѡвѣди, и҆ поживе́ши, словеса́ же моѧ̑ ꙗ҆́кѡ зѣ̑ницы ѻ҆́чїю:

3

And bind them on thy fingers, and write [them] on the table of thine heart.

περίθου δὲ αὐτοὺς σοῖς δακτύλοις, ἐπίγραψον δὲ ἐπὶ τὸ πλάτος τῆς καρδίας σου.

ѡ҆бложи́ же и҆́ми твоѧ̑ пе́рсты, напиши́ же ѧ҆̀ на скрижа́ли се́рдца твоегѡ̀.

4

Say that wisdom is thy sister, and gain prudence as an acquaintance for thyself;

εἶπον τὴν σοφίαν σὴν ἀδελφὴν εἶναι, τὴν δὲ φρόνησιν γνώριμον περιποίησαι σεαυτῷ·

Нарцы̀ премꙋ́дрость сестрꙋ̀ тебѣ̀ бы́ти, ра́зꙋмъ же зна́емь сотворѝ тебѣ̀,

5

that she may keep thee from the strange and wicked woman, if she should assail thee with flattering words.

ἵνα σε τηρήσῃ ἀπὸ γυναικὸς ἀλλοτρίας καὶ πονηρᾶς, ἐάν σε λόγοις τοῖς πρὸς χάριν ἐμβάλληται.

да тѧ̀ соблюде́тъ ѿ жены̀ чꙋжді́ѧ и҆ лꙋка́выѧ, а҆́ще тѧ̀ словесы̀ льсти́выми ѡ҆блага́ти на́чнетъ:

6

For she looks from a window out of her house into the streets, at one whom she may see of the senseless ones, a young man void of understanding,

ἀπὸ γὰρ θυρίδος ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτῆς εἰς τὰς πλατείας παρακύπτουσα,

ѻ҆ко́нцемъ бо и҆з̾ до́мꙋ своегѡ̀ на пꙋти̑ прини́чꙋщи,

7

passing by the corner in the passages near her house,

ὃν ἂν ἴδῃ τῶν ἀφρόνων τέκνων νεανίαν ἐνδεῆ φρενῶν,

є҆го́же а҆́ще ᲂу҆́зритъ ѿ безꙋ́мныхъ ча̑дъ ю҆́ношꙋ скꙋдоꙋ́мна,

8

and speaking, in the dark of the evening,

παραπορευόμενον παρὰ γωνίαν ἐν διόδοις οἴκων αὐτῆς καὶ λαλοῦντα

проходѧ́щаго ми́мѡ ᲂу҆́гла въ распꙋ́тїихъ до́мꙋ є҆ѧ̀

9

when there happens [to be] the stillness of night and of darkness:

ἐν σκότει ἑσπερινῷ, ἡνίκα ἂν ἡσυχία νυκτερινὴ ᾖ καὶ γνοφώδης,

и҆ глаго́лющаго въ те́мный ве́черъ, є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆покое́нїе бꙋ́детъ нощно́е и҆ мра́чное:

10

and the woman meets him having the appearance of a harlot, that causes the hearts of young men to flutter.

ἡ δὲ γυνὴ συναντᾷ αὐτῷ, εἶδος ἔχουσα πορνικόν, ἣ ποιεῖ νέων ἐξίπτασθαι καρδίας.

жена́ же срѧ́щетъ є҆го̀, зра́къ и҆мꙋ́щи прелюбодѣ́йничь, ꙗ҆́же твори́тъ ю҆́ныхъ пари́ти сердца́мъ: воскри́лена же є҆́сть и҆ блꙋ́дна,

11

And she is fickle, and debauched, and her feet abide not at home.

ἀνεπτερωμένη δέ ἐστι καὶ ἄσωτος, ἐν οἴκῳ δὲ οὐχ ἡσυχάζουσιν οἱ πόδες αὐτῆς·

въ домꙋ́ же не почива́ютъ но́зѣ є҆ѧ̀:

12

For at one time she wanders without, and at [another] time she lies in wait in the streets, at every corner.

χρόνον γάρ τινα ἔξω ῥέμβεται, χρόνον δὲ ἐν πλατείαις παρὰ πᾶσαν γωνίαν ἐνεδρεύει.

вре́мѧ бо нѣ́кое внѣ̀ глꙋми́тсѧ, вре́мѧ же на распꙋ́тїихъ при всѧ́цѣмъ ᲂу҆́глѣ присѣди́тъ:

13

Then she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said to him,

εἶτα ἐπιλαβομένη ἐφίλησεν αὐτόν, ἀναιδεῖ δὲ προσώπῳ προσεῖπεν αὐτῷ·

пото́мъ є҆́мши лобза́етъ є҆го̀, безстꙋ́днымъ же лице́мъ рече́тъ къ немꙋ̀:

14

I have a peace-offering; today I pay my vows:

θυσία εἰρηνική μοί ἐστι, σήμερον ἀποδίδωμι τὰς εὐχάς μου·

же́ртва ми́рна мѝ є҆́сть, дне́сь воздаю̀ ѡ҆бѣ́ты моѧ̑:

15

therefore I came forth to meet thee, desiring thy face; [and] I have found thee.

ἕνεκα τούτου ἐξῆλθον εἰς συνάντησίν σοι, ποθοῦσα τὸ σὸν πρόσωπον εὕρηκά σε.

сегѡ̀ ра́ди и҆зыдо́хъ въ срѣ́тенїе тебѣ̀, жела́ющи лица̀ твоегѡ̀, ѡ҆брѣто́хъ тѧ̀:

16

I have spread my bed with sheets, and I have covered it with double tapestry from Egypt.

κειρίαις τέτακα τὴν κλίνην μου, ἀμφιτάποις δὲ ἔστρωκα τοῖς ἀπ᾿ Αἰγύπτου·

простира́лами покры́хъ ѻ҆́дръ мо́й, ковра́ми же сꙋгꙋ́быми постла́хъ, и҆̀же ѿ є҆гѵ́пта,

17

I have sprinkled my couch with saffron, and my house with cinnamon.

διέρρακα τὴν κοίτην μου κροκίνῳ, τὸν δὲ οἶκόν μου κινναμώμῳ·

шафра́номъ посы́пахъ ло́же моѐ и҆ до́мъ мо́й кори́цею:

18

Come, and let us enjoy love until the morning; come, and let us embrace in love.

ἐλθὲ καὶ ἀπολαύσωμεν φιλίας ἕως ὄρθρου, δεῦρο καὶ ἐγκυλισθῶμεν ἔρωτι·

прїидѝ и҆ наслади́мсѧ любвѐ да́же до ᲂу҆́тра, грѧдѝ и҆ повалѧ́емсѧ въ по́хоти:

19

For my husband is not at home, but is gone on a long journey,

οὐ γὰρ πάρεστιν ὁ ἀνήρ μου ἐν οἴκῳ, πεπόρευται δὲ ὁδὸν μακρὰν

нѣ́сть бо мꙋ́жа моегѡ̀ въ домꙋ̀, ѿи́де въ пꙋ́ть дале́че,

20

having taken in his hand a bundle of money: after many days he will return to his house.

ἔνδεσμον ἀργυρίου λαβὼν ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, δι᾿ ἡμερῶν πολλῶν ἐπανήξει εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.

дово́льнѡ сребра̀ взѧ̀ съ собо́ю, по мно́гихъ дне́хъ возврати́тсѧ въ до́мъ сво́й.

21

So with much converse she prevailed on him to go astray, and with the snares of her lips forced him from [the right path].

ἀπεπλάνησε δὲ αὐτὸν πολλῇ ὁμιλίᾳ βρόχοις τε τοῖς ἀπὸ χειλέων ἐξώκειλεν αὐτόν.

И҆ прельстѝ є҆го̀ мно́гою бесѣ́дою, тене́тами же ᲂу҆сте́нъ (въ блꙋ́дъ) привлечѐ є҆го̀.

22

And he followed her, being gently led on, and [that] as an ox is led to the slaughter, and as a dog to bonds, or as a hart shot in the liver with an arrow:

ὁ δὲ ἐπηκολούθησεν αὐτῇ κεπφωθείς, ὥσπερ δὲ βοῦς ἐπὶ σφαγὴν ἄγεται καὶ ὥσπερ κύων ἐπὶ δεσμοὺς

Ѻ҆́нъ же а҆́бїе послѣ́дова є҆́й ѡ҆б̾юро́дѣвъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́коже во́лъ на заколе́нїе веде́тсѧ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ пе́съ на ᲂу҆́зы,

23

and he hastens as a bird into a snare, not knowing that he is running for [his] life.

ἢ ὡς ἔλαφος τοξεύματι πεπληγὼς εἰς τὸ ἧπαρ, σπεύδει δὲ ὥσπερ ὄρνεον εἰς παγίδα, οὐκ εἰδὼς ὅτι περὶ ψυχῆς τρέχει.

и҆лѝ ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ле́нь ᲂу҆ѧ́звленъ стрѣло́ю въ ꙗ҆́тра: и҆ спѣши́тъ ꙗ҆́кѡ пти́ца въ сѣ́ть, не вѣ́дый, ꙗ҆́кѡ на дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ тече́тъ.

24

Now then, [my] son, hearken to me, and attend to the words of my mouth.

νῦν οὖν, υἱέ, ἄκουέ μου καὶ πρόσεχε ρήμασι στόματός μου·

Нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо, сы́не, послꙋ́шай менѐ и҆ внима́й глаго́лѡмъ ᲂу҆́стъ мои́хъ,

25

Let not thine heart turn aside to her ways:

μὴ ἐκκλινάτω εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῆς ἡ καρδία σου,

да не ᲂу҆клони́тсѧ въ пꙋти̑ є҆ѧ̀ се́рдце твоѐ,

26

for she has wounded and cast down many, and those whom she has slain are innumerable.

πολλοὺς γὰρ τρώσασα καταβέβληκε, καὶ ἀναρίθμητοί εἰσιν οὓς πεφόνευκεν·

и҆ да не прельсти́шисѧ въ стезѧ́хъ є҆ѧ̀: мно́гихъ бо ᲂу҆ѧзви́вши низве́рже, и҆ безчи́сленни сꙋ́ть, и҆̀хже ᲂу҆би́ла є҆́сть:

27

Her house is the way of hell, leading down to the chambers of death.

ὁδοὶ ᾅδου ὁ οἶκος αὐτῆς κατάγουσαι εἰς τὰ ταμιεῖα τοῦ θανάτου.

пꙋтїѐ а҆́дѡвы до́мъ є҆ѧ̀, низводѧ́щїи въ сокрѡ́вища смє́ртнаѧ.
