Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.
1 При̑тчи соломѡ́на сы́на даві́дова, и҆́же ца́рствова во і҆и҃ли,
1 LOS proverbios de Salomón, hijo de David, rey de Israel:
2 позна́ти премꙋ́дрость и҆ наказа́нїе и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ти словеса̀ мꙋ́дрости,
2 Para entender sabiduría y doctrina; para conocer las razones prudentes;
3 прїѧ́ти же и҆зви̑тїѧ слове́съ и҆ разрѣшє́нїѧ гада́нїй, ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ти же пра́вдꙋ и҆́стиннꙋю и҆ сꙋ́дъ и҆справлѧ́ти:
3 Para recibir el consejo de prudencia, justicia, y juicio y equidad;
4 да да́стъ неѕлѡ́бивымъ кова́рство, ѻ҆троча́ти же ю҆́нꙋ чꙋ́вство же и҆ смы́слъ.
4 Para dar sagacidad á los simples, y á los jóvenes inteligencia y cordura.
5 Си́хъ бо послꙋ́шавъ, мꙋ́дрый премꙋ́дрѣе бꙋ́детъ, а҆ разꙋ́мный строи́тельство стѧ́жетъ:
5 Oirá el sabio, y aumentará el saber; y el entendido adquirirá consejo;
6 ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́етъ же при́тчꙋ и҆ те́мное сло́во, речє́нїѧ же премꙋ́дрыхъ и҆ гада̑нїѧ.
6 Para entender parábola y declaración; palabras de sabios, y sus dichos oscuros.
7 Нача́ло премꙋ́дрости стра́хъ гдⷭ҇ень, ра́зꙋмъ же бла́гъ всѣ̑мъ творѧ́щымъ є҆го̀: бл҃гоче́стїе же въ бг҃а нача́ло чꙋ́вства, премꙋ́дрость же и҆ наказа́нїе нечести́вїи ᲂу҆ничижа́тъ.
7 El principio de la sabiduría es el temor de Jehová: los insensatos desprecian la sabiduría y la enseñanza.
8 Слы́ши, сы́не, наказа́нїе ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ и҆ не ѿри́ни завѣ́тѡвъ ма́тере твоеѧ̀:
8 Oye, hijo mío, la doctrina de tu padre, y no desprecies la dirección de tu madre:
9 вѣне́цъ бо благода́тей прїи́меши на твое́мъ версѣ̀ и҆ гри́внꙋ зла́тꙋ ѡ҆ твое́й вы́и.
9 Porque adorno de gracia serán á tu cabeza, y collares á tu cuello.
10 Сы́не, да не прельстѧ́тъ тебѐ мꙋ́жїе нечести́вїи, нижѐ да восхо́щеши,
10 Hijo mío, si los pecadores te quisieren engañar, no consientas.
11 а҆́ще помо́лѧтъ тѧ̀, глаго́люще: и҆дѝ съ на́ми, приѡбщи́сѧ кро́ве, скры́емъ же въ зе́млю мꙋ́жа првⷣна непра́веднѡ:
11 Si dijeren: Ven con nosotros, pongamos asechanzas á la sangre, acechemos sin motivo al inocente;
12 пожре́мъ же є҆го̀ ꙗ҆́коже а҆́дъ жи́ва, и҆ во́змемъ па́мѧть є҆гѡ̀ ѿ землѝ,
12 Los tragaremos vivos como el sepulcro, y enteros, como los que caen en sima;
13 стѧжа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ многоцѣ́нное прїи́мемъ, и҆спо́лнимъ же до́мы на́шѧ коры́стей:
13 Hallaremos riquezas de todas suertes, henchiremos nuestras casas de despojos;
14 жре́бїй же тво́й положѝ съ на́ми: ѻ҆́бще же влага́лище стѧ́жемъ всѝ, и҆ мѣше́цъ є҆ди́нъ да бꙋ́детъ всѣ̑мъ на́мъ.
14 Echa tu suerte entre nosotros; tengamos todos una bolsa:
15 Не и҆дѝ въ пꙋ́ть съ ни́ми: ᲂу҆клони́ же но́гꙋ твою̀ ѿ сте́зь и҆́хъ:
15 Hijo mío, no andes en camino con ellos; aparta tu pie de sus veredas:
16 но́зѣ бо и҆́хъ на ѕло̀ текꙋ́тъ, и҆ ско́ри сꙋ́ть и҆злїѧ́ти кро́вь.
16 Porque sus pies correrán al mal, é irán presurosos á derramar sangre.
17 Не без̾ пра́вды бо простира́ютсѧ мрє́жи перна̑тымъ:
17 Porque en vano se tenderá la red ante los ojos de toda ave;
18 ті́и бо ᲂу҆бі́йствꙋ приѡбща́ющесѧ, сокро́вищствꙋютъ себѣ̀ ѕла̑ѧ: разрꙋше́нїе же мꙋже́й законопрестꙋ́пныхъ ѕло̀.
18 Mas ellos á su propia sangre ponen asechanzas, y á sus almas tienden lazo.
19 Сі́и пꙋтїѐ сꙋ́ть всѣ́хъ творѧ́щихъ беззакѡ́ннаѧ: нече́стїемъ бо свою̀ дꙋ́шꙋ ѿе́млютъ.
19 Tales son las sendas de todo el que es dado á la codicia, [la cual] prenderá el alma de sus poseedores.
20 Премꙋ́дрость во и҆схо́дѣхъ пое́тсѧ, въ сто́гнахъ же дерзнове́нїе во́дитъ,
20 La sabiduría clama de fuera, da su voz en las plazas:
21 на кра́ехъ же стѣ́нъ проповѣ́дꙋетсѧ, ᲂу҆ вра́тъ же си́льныхъ присѣди́тъ, во вратѣ́хъ же гра́да дерза́ющи глаго́летъ:
21 Clama en los principales lugares de concurso; en las entradas de las puertas de la ciudad dice sus razones:
22 є҆ли́ко ᲂу҆́бѡ вре́мѧ неѕло́бивїи держа́тсѧ пра́вды, не постыдѧ́тсѧ: безꙋ́мнїи же доса́ды сꙋ́ще жела́телїе, нечести́вїи бы́вше, возненави́дѣша чꙋ́вство
22 ¿Hasta cuándo, oh simples, amaréis la simpleza, y los burladores desearán el burlar, y los insensatos aborrecerán la ciencia?
23 и҆ пови́нни бы́ша ѡ҆бличе́нїємъ. Сѐ, предложꙋ̀ ва́мъ моегѡ̀ дыха́нїѧ рече́нїе, наꙋчꙋ́ же ва́съ моемꙋ̀ словесѝ.
23 Volveos á mi reprensión: he aquí yo os derramaré mi espíritu, y os haré saber mis palabras.
24 Поне́же зва́хъ, и҆ не послꙋ́шасте, и҆ простира́хъ словеса̀, и҆ не внима́сте,
24 Por cuanto llamé, y no quisisteis; extendí mi mano, y no hubo quien escuchase;
25 но ѿмета́сте моѧ̑ совѣ́ты и҆ мои̑мъ ѡ҆бличе́нїємъ не внима́сте:
25 Antes desechasteis todo consejo mío, y mi reprensión no quisisteis:
26 ᲂу҆̀бо и҆ а҆́зъ ва́шей поги́бели посмѣю́сѧ, пора́дꙋюсѧ же, є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ ва́мъ па́гꙋба,
26 También yo me reiré en vuestra calamidad, y me burlaré cuando [os] viniere lo que teméis;
27 и҆ є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ на вы̀ внеза́пꙋ мѧте́жъ, низвраще́нїе же подо́бно бꙋ́ри прїи́детъ, и҆лѝ є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ ва́мъ печа́ль и҆ градоразоре́нїе, и҆лѝ є҆гда̀ на́йдетъ на вы̀ па́гꙋба.
27 Cuando viniere como una destrucción lo que teméis, y vuestra calamidad llegare como un torbellino; cuando sobre vosotros viniere tribulación y angustia.
28 Бꙋ́детъ бо є҆гда̀ призове́те мѧ̀, а҆́зъ же не послꙋ́шаю ва́съ: взы́щꙋтъ менѐ ѕлі́и и҆ не ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтъ.
28 Entonces me llamarán, y no responderé; buscarme han de mañana, y no me hallarán:
29 Возненави́дѣша бо премꙋ́дрость, словесе́ же гдⷭ҇нѧ не прїѧ́ша:
29 Por cuanto aborrecieron la sabiduría, y no escogieron el temor de Jehová,
30 нижѐ хотѣ́ша внима́ти мои̑мъ совѣ́тѡмъ, рꙋга́хꙋсѧ же мои̑мъ ѡ҆бличе́нїємъ.
30 Ni quisieron mi consejo, y menospreciaron toda reprensión mía:
31 Тѣ́мже снѣдѧ́тъ свои́хъ пꙋті́й плоды̀ и҆ своегѡ̀ нече́стїѧ насы́тѧтсѧ:
31 Comerán pues del fruto de su camino, y se hartarán de sus consejos.
32 и҆́бо, занѐ ѡ҆би́дѣша младе́нцєвъ, ᲂу҆бїе́ни бꙋ́дꙋтъ, и҆ и҆стѧза́нїе нечести̑выѧ погꙋби́тъ.
32 Porque el reposo de los ignorantes los matará, y la prosperidad de los necios los echará á perder.
33 Мене́ же слꙋ́шаѧй всели́тсѧ на ᲂу҆пова́нїи и҆ почі́етъ без̾ стра́ха ѿ всѧ́кагѡ ѕла̀.
33 Mas el que me oyere, habitará confiadamente, y vivirá reposado, sin temor de mal.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For it is better for you that ye should occupy a humble but honourable place in the flock of Christ, than that, being highly exalted, ye should be cast out from the hope of His people. For thus speaketh all-virtuous Wisdom: "Behold, I will bring forth to you the words of My Spirit, and I will teach you My speech.
Now, "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;" the sense of sin leads to repentance, and God bestows His compassion upon those who are penitent.
… what we read in the Proverbs of impious men saying, "Let us unrighteously hide in the earth the righteous man; yea, let us swallow him up alive as hell, and let us take away his memory from the earth: let us seize his precious possession," is not so obscure that it may not be understood, without laborious exposition, of Christ …

… and therefore the "wisdom" of God, by means of which she saves all men, "is declared in [its] going forth; it uttereth [its voice] faithfully in the streets, is preached on the tops of the walls, and speaks continually in the gates of the city." For the Church preaches the truth everywhere, and she is the seven-branched candlestick which bears …
… by ought of their own; but that wisdom was in them, of which it is written in a certain book, she shall say to those that despised her, when they have fallen upon the evils which she threatened them; "I will laugh over your destruction." What wonder then is it, that the wise mock the foolish virgins?
