Притчи Соломонови 1
Библия, синодално издание
1 (A)Притчи на Соломона, син Давидов, цар израилски,
2 за да се познае мъдрост и поука, за да се разберат изреченията на разума;
3 за да се усвоят правилата на благоразумие, правосъдие, съд и правота;
4 да се даде на прости разумност, на юноша – знание и разсъдливост.
5 (B)Ако мъдър слуша, ще умножи познанията си, и разумен ще намери мъдри съвети,
6 за да разбира притча и дълбока реч, думите на мъдреците и техните загадки.
7 (C)Начало на мъдростта е страхът Господен; (добре разумяват всички, които се водят от него; а благоговението към Бога е начало на разбиране;) само глупци презират мъдрост и поука.
8 Слушай, синко, поуката на баща си и не отхвърляй завета на майка си,
9 (D)защото това е красен венец за главата ти и украшение за шията ти.
10 (E)Синко, ако те прелъстяват грешници, не скланяй;
11 (F)ако кажат: „дойди с нас, да направим засада за убийство, да причакаме непорочния без вина,
12 (G)жив да го погълнем, както поглъща преизподнята, и цял като слизащия в гроб;
13 да си натрупаме всякакъв драгоценен имот, да напълним къщите си с плячка;
14 ти ще хвърляш жребия си заедно с нас, един клет ще има за всички ни“, –
15 (H)синко, не ходи на път с тях, задръж ногата си от пътеките им,
16 (I)защото нозете им тичат към зло и бързат кръв да проливат:
17 не напразно се разпъва мрежа пред птици.
18 (J)Но те правят засада против кръвта си, дебнат против душите си.
19 Такива са пътищата на всекиго, който е алчен за чуждо добро: то отнема живота на оногова, който го е заграбил.
20 (K)Премъдростта говори високо на улицата, издига гласа си по стъгдите;
21 (L)проповядва в главните места на съборите, при входовете на градските порти говори своята реч:
22 „докога, невежи, ще обичате невежеството? Докога буйните ще се наслаждават с буйство? Докога глупците ще мразят знанието?
23 Обърнете се към моите изобличения; ето, аз ще излея духа си върху вас, ще ви явя думите си.
24 (M)Аз виках, а вие не послушахте; простирах ръка, но нямаше кой да внимава;
25 и вие отхвърлихте всички мои съвети, и изобличенията ми не приехте.
26 (N)Затова и аз ще се насмея на вашата гибел; ще се порадвам, кога ви ужас нападне,
27 кога ви нападне ужас като буря, и беда като вихър мине над вас, кога ви постигне скръб и утеснение.
28 (O)Тогава ще ме викат, и аз не ще чуя; от сутрин ще ме дирят, и не ще ме намерят.
29 (P)Задето намразиха знанието и не избраха за себе си страха Господен;
30 задето не приеха моя съвет и презряха всичките ми изобличения,
31 (Q)затова те и ще ядат от плодовете на своите пътища и ще се насищат от своите замисли.
32 Защото невежите ще ги убие тяхното упорство, а глупците ще ги погуби тяхната безгрижност;
33 (R)но който слуша мене, ще живее безопасно и спокойно, без да се страхува от зло.“
Proverbs 1
New King James Version
The Beginning of Knowledge
1 The (A)proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:
2 To know wisdom and instruction,
To [a]perceive the words of understanding,
3 To receive the instruction of wisdom,
Justice, judgment, and equity;
4 To give prudence to the (B)simple,
To the young man knowledge and discretion—
5 (C)A wise man will hear and increase learning,
And a man of understanding will [b]attain wise counsel,
6 To understand a proverb and an enigma,
The words of the wise and their (D)riddles.
7 (E)The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Shun Evil Counsel
8 (F)My son, hear the instruction of your father,
And do not forsake the law of your mother;
9 For they will be a (G)graceful ornament on your head,
And chains about your neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice you,
(H)Do not consent.
11 If they say, “Come with us,
Let us (I)lie in wait to shed blood;
Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
12 Let us swallow them alive like [c]Sheol,
And whole, (J)like those who go down to the Pit;
13 We shall find all kinds of precious [d]possessions,
We shall fill our houses with [e]spoil;
14 Cast in your lot among us,
Let us all have one purse”—
15 My son, (K)do not walk in the way with them,
(L)Keep your foot from their path;
16 (M)For their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely, in [f]vain the net is spread
In the sight of any [g]bird;
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood,
They lurk secretly for their own lives.
19 (N)So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain;
It takes away the life of its owners.
The Call of Wisdom
20 (O)Wisdom calls aloud [h]outside;
She raises her voice in the open squares.
21 She cries out in the [i]chief concourses,
At the openings of the gates in the city
She speaks her words:
22 “How long, you [j]simple ones, will you love [k]simplicity?
For scorners delight in their scorning,
And fools hate knowledge.
23 Turn at my rebuke;
Surely (P)I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.
24 (Q)Because I have called and you refused,
I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,
25 Because you (R)disdained all my counsel,
And would have none of my rebuke,
26 (S)I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your terror comes,
27 When (T)your terror comes like a storm,
And your destruction comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.
28 “Then(U) they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
29 Because they (V)hated knowledge
And did not (W)choose the fear of the Lord,
30 (X)They would have none of my counsel
And despised my every rebuke.
31 Therefore (Y)they shall eat the fruit of their own way,
And be filled to the full with their own fancies.
32 For the [l]turning away of the simple will slay them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33 But whoever listens to me will dwell (Z)safely,
And (AA)will be [m]secure, without fear of evil.”

Proverbs 1
Tree of Life Version
The Value of Wise Sayings
1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
2 to acquire wisdom and discipline,
to understand the words of insight,
3 to receive instruction in wise behavior,
righteousness, justice and fairness,
4 to give discernment to the naïve,
knowledge and discretion to the youth
5 (let the wise listen and increase learning
and the discerning obtain wise counsel)
6 to understand a proverb and a puzzle,
the sayings of the wise and their riddles.
The Wisdom of Parents
7 The fear of Adonai is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
8 Hear, my son, your father’s instruction
and forsake not your mother’s teaching.
9 For they are a garland of grace for your head
and a chain to adorn your neck.
Avoid a Bloodthirsty Gang
10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in.
11 Suppose they say: “Come with us!
Let’s lie in wait for blood!
Let’s ambush the innocent—for no reason!
12 Let’s swallow them alive like Sheol—
still healthy, as they go down to the Pit!
13 We’ll find all sorts of valuable things,
we’ll fill our homes with loot!
14 Throw your lot in with us—
we’ll all have one wallet.”
15 My son, do not go along with them,
keep your foot from their path—
16 for their feet run to evil
and they are swift to shed blood.
17 Surely it is useless to spread a net
in the eyes of all winged creatures!
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood.
They ambush their own lives.
19 Such is the fate of all gaining by violence.
It takes the life of its possessor.
Wisdom Calls, But Who Listens?
20 Wisdom calls aloud in the streets,
she raises her voice in public squares.
21 She cries out above the commotion.
At the entrances of the city gates, she utters her speech:
22 “How long will you naïve ones love simplicity,
you scoffers delight in scoffing,
and you fools hate knowledge?
23 You are repulsed at my rebuke.
Behold, I pour out my heart to you.
I will make my words known to you.
24 Because you refused when I called,
and did not pay attention when I stretched out my hand,
25 since you ignore all my advice
and would not accept my rebuke,
26 I in turn will laugh at your calamity.
I will mock when dread comes on you,
27 when your terror comes like a storm
and your calamity sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
when trouble and distress overwhelm you!
28 Then they will cry out to me, but I will not answer!
They will earnestly seek me, but will not find me.
29 Because they hated knowledge
and did not choose the fear of Adonai,
30 they would not accept my counsel,
they spurned all my reproof,
31 so they will eat the fruit of their own way
and be filled with their own schemes.
32 For the backsliding of the naïve will kill them
and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
33 But whoever pays attention to me will live securely,
and be free from the fear of evil.”
