¶ Men pwovèb Salomon, pitit David la, ki te wa peyi Izrayèl.

Pwovèb sa yo la pou fè moun konnen sa ki rele gen sajès ak bon levasyon, pou yo konprann lè moun lespri ap pale ak yo.

Pwovèb sa yo la tou pou moutre moun jan pou yo viv avèk konprann, pou yo gen bon kondit, pou yo pa fè lenjistis, pou yo mache dwat nan lavi.

Y'ap louvri lespri moun ki manke konprann, y'ap bay jenn gason yo konesans ak konprann.

Se pou moun ki gen konesans koute sa ki nan pwovèb yo, pou yo ka mete sou sa yo konnen deja. Se pou moun ki gen lespri koute sa ki nan pwovèb yo, pou yo ka konnen ki jan pou yo mennen bak yo pi byen,

konsa, y'a ka konprann sans tout pwovèb ak tout parabòl, sans tout pawòl k'ap soti nan bouch moun ki gen bon konprann yo ak koze tout moun pa ka konprann.

¶ Lè ou gen krentif pou Bondye, se lè sa a ou konmanse gen konesans. Moun fou pa konn valè sa yo rele gen konesans, yo refize aprann.

Pitit mwen, koute papa ou non lè l'ap ba ou bon levasyon! Pa janm bliye sa manman ou te moutre ou!

Menm jan bèl foula mare nan tèt ak kolye pase nan kou bay pi bèl aparans, konsa tou konsèy papa ou ak manman ou ap fè anpil pou ou.

10 ¶ Pitit mwen, lè moun k'ap fè sa ki mal vle detounen ou, pa kite yo pran tèt ou.

11 Si yo di ou: Vini ak nou non! Ann anbiske kò nou pou n' touye moun. Ann pare pèlen pou nou pran inonsan yo, san yo pa gen anyen ak nou.

12 Ann vale yo tou vivan, tankou simityè ki pa janm refize mò. Ann vale yo tout ankè tankou kadav y'ap antere.

13 N'a jwenn tout kalite gwo richès, n'a plen kay nou ak tout bagay n'a pran.

14 W'a jwenn pa ou nan tou sa n'a pran. Va gen yon sèl kès pou nou tout.

15 Pitit mwen, pa mache avèk moun konsa! Pa mete pye ou kote moun sa yo pase!

16 Yo toujou dèyè pou fè sa ki mal. Pou ti krik ti krak, yo mete san deyò.

17 Kisa ou konprann ou fè lè ou kite zwezo wè ou ap tann pèlen pou li?

18 Se konsa moun sa yo pran nan pèlen yo menm yo pare a. Yo tonbe nan pyèj yo mete a, yo mouri.

19 Nan chache genyen sa ki pa pou ou, se ou ki lakòz malè rive ou. Se sa menm ki pou rive tout moun ki pa wè pase vòlò.

20 ¶ Koute byen. Sajès ap rele nan lari, l'ap pale byen fò sou plas piblik.

21 L'ap rele nan tout kalfou, nan pòtay lavil yo, toupatou kote tout moun ka tande.

22 L'ap di: Bann egare! Kilè n'a sispann renmen fè tenten? Kilè n'a sispann pran plezi nou nan pase tout bagay nan betiz? Kilè moun fou yo va soti pou yo aprann?

23 Se pou n' koute m' lè m'ap rale zòrèy nou. M'ap di nou tou sa ki nan tèt mwen, m'ap fè nou konnen tou sa m' konnen.

24 Ki jan nou ye konsa? Mwen rele nou, nou fè tankou nou pa tande m'. Mwen lonje men ban nou, nou fè tankou nou pa wè m'.

25 Anhan! Se konsa sa ye? Nou voye tout konsèy mwen te ban nou yo jete byen lwen nou. Nou refize kite m' korije nou.

26 Konsa, lè n'a nan ka, m'a ri nou. Lè malè va fè nou tranble, m'a pase nou nan rizib.

27 Lè malè va tonbe sou nou tankou yon van siklòn, lè tray va pase sou nou tankou yon toubouyon, lè lapenn ak kè sere va pran nou,

28 le sa a, n'a rele m', mwen menm yo rele sajès, men mwen p'ap reponn nou. N'a mache chache m' toupatou, men nou p'ap jwenn mwen.

29 Nou pa t' vle wè konesans, nou te toujou refize gen krentif pou Bondye.

30 Nou pa t' janm vle koute konsèy m' t'ap ban nou, nou te toujou derefize koute m' lè m' t'ap korije nou.

31 Se pou nou rekòlte sa nou te simen an. Se pou nou sibi konsekans vye konsèy nou t'ap swiv yo.

32 Moun ki san esperyans yo mouri paske yo refize aprann. Bann moun fou yo menm, yo pa pran anyen pou anyen, se sa k'ap pèdi yo tou.

33 Men, moun ki koute sa m' di yo jwenn lasirans, y'a viv ak kè poze, yo p'ap bezwen pè anyen.

¶ Pitit mwen, aprann sa m'ap moutre ou la a. Chache pou ou pa janm bliye sa mwen di ou fè a.

Se poutèt sa, louvri zòrèy ou pou ou tande sa moun ki gen sajès ap di ou. Chache konprann yo.

Wi, pa janm sispann chache gen konesans. Mande pou ou gen bon konprann.

Kouri dèyè konesans tankou moun k'ap kouri dèyè lajan. Chache konesans tankou moun k'ap chache ja lajan.

Si ou fè tou sa, w'a konnen sa ki rele gen krentif pou Bondye. W'a resi konnen ki moun Bondye ye.

Se Seyè a ki bay konesans. Pawòl ki soti nan bouch li bay lespri ak konprann.

Lè yon moun mache dwat, Seyè a ba li bon konsèy. Lè yon moun serye, li pwoteje l'.

Li pwoteje moun ki pa fè lenjistis. Li pran defans moun ki kenbe fèm nan sèvis li.

Si ou koute m', w'a konnen ki jan pou ou mennen bak ou byen, ki jan pou ou pa fè lenjistis. W'a konnen ki jan pou ou mache dwat nan lavi. W'a konnen tout bon bagay ou dwe fè.

10 ¶ Lè sa a, w'a gen bon konprann nan ou. W'a pran tout plezi ou nan konesans ou genyen.

11 Entèlijans ou p'ap kite anyen rive ou, konesans ou pral yon pwoteksyon pou ou.

12 Yo p'ap kite ou fè sa ki mal. Yo p'ap kite moun k'ap fè bèl diskou pou twonpe moun pwoche bò kote ou.

13 Moun sa yo, se moun ki kite chemen dwat la pou lage kò yo nan fènwa.

14 Se moun ki pran plezi yo nan fè sa ki mal. Se moun ki kontan anpil pou wè mechanste lòt moun ap fè.

15 Ou pa janm konnen kote ou ye ak moun sa yo, tout kò yo se plan.

16 Entèlijans ou ak konesans ou va delivre ou anba fanm adiltè yo, anba fanm lòt peyi ki gen bèl pawòl dous pou pran tèt ou.

17 Fanm konsa se fanm k'ap twonpe mari yo, fanm ki bliye pwomès yo te fè Bondye.

18 Si ou mete pye lakay yo, ou sou wout lanmò. Si ou ale lakay yo, ou pa lwen ale kote mò yo ye a.

19 Lakay yo, se antre pa soti. Pa gen lavi pou ou ankò!

20 Se poutèt sa, swiv egzanp moun debyen. Mache pye pou pye dèyè moun ki pa fè chemen kwochi.

21 Paske se moun k'ap mache dwat yo ki pral rete nan peyi a. Se moun serye yo ki pral la.

22 Men, Bondye ap disparèt mechan yo nan peyi a. L'ap rache moun k'ap fè sa ki mal yo tankou yo rache move zèb.

Purpose and Theme

The proverbs(A) of Solomon(B) son of David, king of Israel:(C)

for gaining wisdom and instruction;
    for understanding words of insight;
for receiving instruction in prudent behavior,
    doing what is right and just and fair;
for giving prudence to those who are simple,[a](D)
    knowledge and discretion(E) to the young—
let the wise listen and add to their learning,(F)
    and let the discerning get guidance—
for understanding proverbs and parables,(G)
    the sayings and riddles(H) of the wise.[b](I)

The fear of the Lord(J) is the beginning of knowledge,
    but fools[c] despise wisdom(K) and instruction.(L)

Prologue: Exhortations to Embrace Wisdom

Warning Against the Invitation of Sinful Men

Listen, my son,(M) to your father’s(N) instruction
    and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.(O)
They are a garland to grace your head
    and a chain to adorn your neck.(P)

10 My son, if sinful men entice(Q) you,
    do not give in(R) to them.(S)
11 If they say, “Come along with us;
    let’s lie in wait(T) for innocent blood,
    let’s ambush some harmless soul;
12 let’s swallow(U) them alive, like the grave,
    and whole, like those who go down to the pit;(V)
13 we will get all sorts of valuable things
    and fill our houses with plunder;
14 cast lots with us;
    we will all share the loot(W)”—
15 my son, do not go along with them,
    do not set foot(X) on their paths;(Y)
16 for their feet rush into evil,(Z)
    they are swift to shed blood.(AA)
17 How useless to spread a net
    where every bird can see it!
18 These men lie in wait(AB) for their own blood;
    they ambush only themselves!(AC)
19 Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain;
    it takes away the life of those who get it.(AD)

Wisdom’s Rebuke

20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud,(AE)
    she raises her voice in the public square;
21 on top of the wall[d] she cries out,
    at the city gate she makes her speech:

22 “How long will you who are simple(AF) love your simple ways?
    How long will mockers delight in mockery
    and fools hate(AG) knowledge?
23 Repent at my rebuke!
    Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
    I will make known to you my teachings.
24 But since you refuse(AH) to listen when I call(AI)
    and no one pays attention(AJ) when I stretch out my hand,
25 since you disregard all my advice
    and do not accept my rebuke,
26 I in turn will laugh(AK) when disaster(AL) strikes you;
    I will mock(AM) when calamity overtakes you(AN)
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
    when disaster(AO) sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
    when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

28 “Then they will call to me but I will not answer;(AP)
    they will look for me but will not find me,(AQ)
29 since they hated knowledge
    and did not choose to fear the Lord.(AR)
30 Since they would not accept my advice
    and spurned my rebuke,(AS)
31 they will eat the fruit of their ways
    and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.(AT)
32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
    and the complacency of fools will destroy them;(AU)
33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety(AV)
    and be at ease, without fear of harm.”(AW)

Moral Benefits of Wisdom

My son,(AX) if you accept my words
    and store up my commands within you,
turning your ear to wisdom
    and applying your heart to understanding(AY)
indeed, if you call out for insight(AZ)
    and cry aloud for understanding,
and if you look for it as for silver
    and search for it as for hidden treasure,(BA)
then you will understand the fear of the Lord
    and find the knowledge of God.(BB)
For the Lord gives wisdom;(BC)
    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.(BD)
He holds success in store for the upright,
    he is a shield(BE) to those whose walk is blameless,(BF)
for he guards the course of the just
    and protects the way of his faithful ones.(BG)

Then you will understand(BH) what is right and just
    and fair—every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,(BI)
    and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Discretion will protect you,
    and understanding will guard you.(BJ)

12 Wisdom will save(BK) you from the ways of wicked men,
    from men whose words are perverse,
13 who have left the straight paths
    to walk in dark ways,(BL)
14 who delight in doing wrong
    and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,(BM)
15 whose paths are crooked(BN)
    and who are devious in their ways.(BO)

16 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman,(BP)
    from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
17 who has left the partner of her youth
    and ignored the covenant she made before God.[e](BQ)
18 Surely her house leads down to death
    and her paths to the spirits of the dead.(BR)
19 None who go to her return
    or attain the paths of life.(BS)

20 Thus you will walk in the ways of the good
    and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will live in the land,(BT)
    and the blameless will remain in it;
22 but the wicked(BU) will be cut off from the land,(BV)
    and the unfaithful will be torn from it.(BW)

16 ¶ Kanta lajan nou t'ap ranmase pou ede pèp Bondye ki lavil Jerizalèm lan, se pou nou fè tankou mwen te di legliz nan peyi Galasi yo fè.

Chak premye jou nan senmenn lan, se pou chak moun mete yon ti lajan apa dapre sa yo te fè. Y'a sere l' lakay yo. Konsa, nou p'ap bezwen tann se lè m' rive lakay nou pou n'ap chache lajan an.

Lè m' ava rive, n'a chwazi kèk moun pou m' voye pote kado nou fè a ale lavil Jerizalèm ak yon lèt rekòmandasyon.

Si sa merite pou m' ale tou, y'a fè vwayaj la ansanm avè mwen.

¶ M'a vin lakay nou lè m'a fin pase nan peyi Masedwan. Paske, fòk mwen pase la anvan.

Mwen ka rete pase kèk jou lakay nou. Mwen ka menm pase tout sezon fredi a avè nou. Apre sa, n'a ka ede m' ale kote m'a gen pou mwen ale a.

Fwa sa a, mwen pa vle wè nou anpasan konsa. Mwen ta renmen rete pase kèk tan ak nou, si Bondye vle.

Men, mwen fè lide rete isit nan lavil Efèz jouk pou fèt Lapannkòt.

Paske nan lavil sa a, mwen jwenn yon bon okazyon pou m' fè travay mwen, atout gen anpil moun ki pa vle wè mwen.

10 ¶ Si Timote rive bò kote nou ye a, n'a fè yon jan pou l' santi l' lakay li nan mitan nou, paske se menm jan avè mwen li travay pou Seyè a.

11 Pa kite pesonn meprize li. Se pou nou ede l' pou li ka kontinye vwayaj li ak kè poze, pou l' ka tounen vin jwenn mwen. Paske, n'ap tann li ak frè yo.

12 Kanta frè Apolòs, mwen pa t' manke ankouraje l' pou l' te vin lakay nou. Men, sanble lide li pa sou sa koulye a. Enben, la fè vwayaj la lè la kapab.

13 ¶ Pa bliye kò nou. Kenbe fèm nan konfyans nou. Mete kouraj sou nou. Pa moutre nou fèb.

14 Se pou nou fè tout bagay avèk renmen nan kè nou.

15 Frè m' yo, nou konnen Estefanas ak tout fanmi li. Nou konnen se yo menm premye moun nan peyi Lakayi ki te mete konfyans yo nan Kris la. Tout moun nan fanmi an te ofri tèt yo pou sèvi pèp Bondye a.

16 Enben, moun konsa ansanm ak moun nou wè k'ap travay ak yo epi k'ap sèvi ak yo, nou mèt kite yo mennen nou.

17 Mwen pa manke kontan pou Estefanas, Fòtenatis, Akaykis ki vin wè mwen. Yo fè m' santi se tankou si se nou menm menm ki te la avèk mwen.

18 Yo remoute kouraj mwen, menm jan yo te remoute kouraj nou. Moun konsa, se pou nou konnen ki jan pou nou konsidere yo.

19 ¶ Legliz ki nan peyi Lazi yo voye bonjou pou nou. Akilas ak Prisil ansanm ak legliz ki reyini lakay yo a voye yon pakèt bonjou pou nou nan Seyè a.

20 Tout frè ki isit yo voye bonjou pou nou tou. Nou menm, bò pa nou, yonn di lòt bonjou pou mwen, yonn bo lòt tankou moun k'ap viv pou Bondye.

21 M'ap ekri nou sa ak men pa m': Pòl voye bonjou pou nou tout.

22 Si yon moun pa renmen Seyè a, madichon pou li. Seyè nou, vini non!

23 Se pou benediksyon Jezi Seyè a toujou la avè nou.

24 Mwen renmen nou tout nan Jezikri.

The Collection for the Lord’s People

16 Now about the collection(A) for the Lord’s people:(B) Do what I told the Galatian(C) churches to do. On the first day of every week,(D) each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.(E) Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve(F) and send them with your gift to Jerusalem. If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me.

Personal Requests

After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you(G)—for I will be going through Macedonia.(H) Perhaps I will stay with you for a while, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey,(I) wherever I go. For I do not want to see you now and make only a passing visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.(J) But I will stay on at Ephesus(K) until Pentecost,(L) because a great door for effective work has opened to me,(M) and there are many who oppose me.

10 When Timothy(N) comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of the Lord,(O) just as I am. 11 No one, then, should treat him with contempt.(P) Send him on his way(Q) in peace(R) so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.

12 Now about our brother Apollos:(S) I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was quite unwilling to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

13 Be on your guard; stand firm(T) in the faith; be courageous; be strong.(U) 14 Do everything in love.(V)

15 You know that the household of Stephanas(W) were the first converts(X) in Achaia,(Y) and they have devoted themselves to the service(Z) of the Lord’s people.(AA) I urge you, brothers and sisters, 16 to submit(AB) to such people and to everyone who joins in the work and labors at it. 17 I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.(AC) 18 For they refreshed(AD) my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition.(AE)

Final Greetings

19 The churches in the province of Asia(AF) send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla[a](AG) greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.(AH) 20 All the brothers and sisters here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.(AI)

21 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.(AJ)

22 If anyone does not love the Lord,(AK) let that person be cursed!(AL) Come, Lord[b]!(AM)

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.(AN)

24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.[c]
