Притчи 4
New Russian Translation
Превосходство мудрости
4 Послушайте, сыновья, наставление отца;
внимайте, чтобы обрести понимание.
2 Я даю вам учение доброе,
не оставляйте моего поучения.
3 Когда я был мальчиком в доме у моего отца,
нежным еще и единственным у моей матери,
4 отец учил меня и говорил:
«Пусть твое сердце удержит мои слова;
храни мои повеления и живи.
5 Приобретай мудрость, приобретай разум;
не забывай моих слов и не отклоняйся от них.
6 Не оставляй мудрости, и она защитит тебя;
люби ее, и она тебя сохранит.
7 Начало мудрости таково[a]:
приобретай мудрость.
И всем, что имеешь,
приобретай разум.
8 Высоко цени ее, и она возвысит тебя;
она прославит тебя, если примешь ее в объятия.
9 Она возложит тебе на голову прекрасный венок,
славным венцом тебя одарит».
10 Слушай, сын мой, и прими мое слово, –
и долгими будут годы твоей жизни.
11 Я наставлю тебя на путь мудрости
и по тропам прямым тебя поведу.
12 Когда ты пойдешь, не будет стеснен твой шаг,
и когда побежишь, не споткнешься.
13 Крепко держись наставления, не оставляй его;
храни его, потому что в нем твоя жизнь.
14 Не вступай на стезю нечестивых,
не ходи по пути злодеев.
15 Избегай его, не иди по нему,
отвернись от него и пройди мимо.
16 Ведь они не уснут, если не сделают зла;
нет им сна, если не навредят.
17 Они едят хлеб нечестия
и, как вино, они пьют насилие.
18 Стезя праведных подобна первому свету зари,
светит она все ярче и ярче – до полного света дня.
19 Но путь нечестивых подобен кромешной тьме;
они и не знают, обо что спотыкаются.
20 Сын мой, будь внимателен к речи моей;
слова мои слушай прилежно.
21 Не упускай их из вида,
храни их в сердце;
22 ведь они – жизнь для тех, кто нашел их,
и для тела всего – здоровье.
23 Больше всего храни свое сердце,
потому что оно – источник жизни.
24 Удали от уст своих лживую речь,
удержи свои губы от слов обмана.
25 Пусть глаза твои глядят прямо,
взгляд твой пусть будет устремлен вперед.
26 Тропу для ног своих делай ровной[b],
и все пути твои будут тверды.
27 Не отклоняйся ни вправо, ни влево,
удаляй свою ногу от зла.
Proverbs 4
EasyEnglish Bible
Choose what is good and right
4 My children, listen to what your father teaches you. Listen carefully so that you understand what is right. 2 My teaching will help you, so do not refuse it.
3-4 My father taught me when I was a little boy. My mother loved me as her only child. My father said to me,
‘Think carefully about what I tell you.
If you obey my commands, you will live well.
5 Learn to be wise and to understand things properly.
Do not forget my teaching or turn away from it.
6 If you keep hold of wisdom, she will keep you safe.
She will protect you if you love her.[a]
7 Learn to be wise, because wisdom is the most important thing to have.
Make sure that you learn to understand things well.
8 Respect wisdom as very valuable, then she will make you great.
If you make her your friend, she will give you honour.
9 Wisdom will bless you, as if you are wearing a beautiful crown on your head.’
10 So listen to me, my child, and accept my teaching. If you do, the years of your life will be many.
11 I am teaching you to be wise, so that you will know the right way to live. 12 As you walk through life, nothing will stop you. Even when you run, you will not fall.
13 Keep hold of my teaching. Do not forget it. Keep it safe because it will give you a good life.
14 Do not join with wicked or evil people. Do not do the things that they do. 15 Keep away from them! Be sure to keep to your own good way of life.
16 Wicked people have to do evil things. They cannot go to sleep unless they have been cruel to someone that day. 17 Evil acts are their food. Violence is their drink.
18 The life of righteous people is like the sun at dawn. It gets brighter and brighter until midday. 19 But the life of wicked people is like a very dark road. They cannot even see what causes them to fall.
20 My child, listen carefully to my teaching and to everything that I tell you. 21 Never forget my words. Keep them safe in your mind. 22 They will give true life to anyone who takes hold of them. They will give health to your whole body.
23 Be very careful to keep your mind safe. The thoughts that you think make you the person that you are.
24 Never tell lies or try to deceive other people.
25 Look straight in front of you to see clearly where you are going. 26 Decide carefully where you are going in life. Then you will be on a good, safe path. 27 Do not walk off your path, to the right side or the left side. Keep away from everything that is evil.

Kawikaan 4
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
4 Mga anak, pakinggan ninyong mabuti ang mga pagtutuwid ng inyong ama sa inyong pag-uugali, upang lumawak ang inyong pang-unawa. 2 Mabuti ang itinuturo kong ito, kaya huwag ninyong ipagwalang bahala. 3 Noong bata pa ako at nasa piling pa ng aking mga magulang, mahal na mahal ako ng aking ina bilang nag-iisang anak. 4 Tinuruan ako ni ama. Sinabi niya sa akin, “Anak, ingatan mo sa iyong puso ang mga itinuturo ko. Sundin mo ang mga utos ko at mabubuhay ka nang matagal. 5 Pagsikapan mong magkaroon ng karunungan at pang-unawa. Huwag mong kalilimutan ang mga sinasabi ko at huwag kang hihiwalay dito. 6 Huwag mong tanggihan ang karunungan, sa halip pahalagahan mo ito, dahil iingatan ka nito. 7 Pinakamahalaga sa lahat ang karunungan at pang-unawa. Sikapin mong magkaroon nito kahit na maubos pa ang lahat ng kayamanan mo. 8 Tanggapin moʼt pahalagahan ang karunungan, dahil magbibigay ito sa iyo ng karangalan. 9 Magiging parang koronang bulaklak ito na magbibigay sa iyo ng kagandahan.”
10 Anak, pakinggan mo at tanggapin ang mga sinasabi ko sa iyo upang humaba ang iyong buhay. 11 Tinuruan na kita ng karunungan, kung paano mamuhay sa katuwiran. 12 Kung susundin mo ito, walang makakasagabal sa buhay mo at maliligtas ka sa anumang kapahamakan. 13 Huwag mong kalilimutan ang pagtutuwid ko sa iyong pag-uugali; ingatan mo ito sa puso mo sapagkat mabubuhay ka sa pamamagitan nito.
14 Huwag mong gagayahin ang ginagawa ng mga taong masama. 15 Iwasan mo ito at patuloy kang mamuhay nang matuwid. 16 Sapagkat ang taong masama ay hindi makatulog kapag hindi nakakagawa ng masama o walang naipapahamak. 17 Ang pagkain nila ay paggawa ng kasamaan at ang inumin nila ay paggawa ng karahasan.
18 Ang pamumuhay ng taong matuwid ay parang sikat ng araw na lalong nagliliwanag habang tumatagal. 19 Pero ang pamumuhay ng taong masama ay parang kadiliman; hindi niya alam kung ano ang dahilan ng kanyang pagbagsak.
20 Anak, pakinggan mong mabuti ang itinuturo ko sa iyo. 21 Huwag mo itong kalilimutan kundi ingatan sa puso mo. 22 Sapagkat magbibigay ito ng malusog na katawan at mahabang buhay sa sinumang makakasumpong nito.
23 Higit sa lahat, ingatan mo ang iyong isipan, sapagkat kung ano ang iyong iniisip iyon din ang magiging buhay mo. 24 Huwag kang magsalita ng kasinungalingan at walang kabuluhan. 25 Ituon mo ang iyong paningin sa mga bagay na mabuti. 26 Pag-isipan mong mabuti ang iyong mga gagawin upang magtagumpay ka. 27 Mamuhay ka sa katuwiran at layuan mo ang kasamaan.
Proverbs 4
New International Version
Get Wisdom at Any Cost
4 Listen, my sons,(A) to a father’s instruction;(B)
pay attention and gain understanding.(C)
2 I give you sound learning,
so do not forsake my teaching.
3 For I too was a son to my father,
still tender, and cherished by my mother.
4 Then he taught me, and he said to me,
“Take hold(D) of my words with all your heart;
keep my commands, and you will live.(E)
5 Get wisdom,(F) get understanding;
do not forget my words or turn away from them.
6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;(G)
love her, and she will watch over you.(H)
7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get[a] wisdom.
Though it cost all(I) you have,[b] get understanding.(J)
8 Cherish her, and she will exalt you;
embrace her, and she will honor you.(K)
9 She will give you a garland to grace your head
and present you with a glorious crown.(L)”
10 Listen, my son,(M) accept what I say,
and the years of your life will be many.(N)
11 I instruct(O) you in the way of wisdom
and lead you along straight paths.(P)
12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
when you run, you will not stumble.(Q)
13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
guard it well, for it is your life.(R)
14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.(S)
15 Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
16 For they cannot rest until they do evil;(T)
they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
17 They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.(U)
18 The path of the righteous(V) is like the morning sun,(W)
shining ever brighter till the full light of day.(X)
19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness;(Y)
they do not know what makes them stumble.(Z)
20 My son,(AA) pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.(AB)
21 Do not let them out of your sight,(AC)
keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body.(AD)
23 Above all else, guard(AE) your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.(AF)
24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes(AG) look straight ahead;
fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Give careful thought to the[c] paths for your feet(AH)
and be steadfast in all your ways.
27 Do not turn to the right or the left;(AI)
keep your foot from evil.
