Notes on this text (1)
- Includes the books not found in the Hebrew Bible (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, 1–3 Maccabees, 2 and 3 Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh), as in the Synodal editions.
1 Сын мой! внимай мудрости моей, и приклони ухо твое к разуму моему,
1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding,
2 чтобы соблюсти рассудительность, и чтобы уста твои сохранили знание. [Не внимай льстивой женщине;]
2 that you may maintain discretion, that your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 ибо мед источают уста чужой жены, и мягче елея речь ее;
3 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,
4 но последствия от нее горьки, как полынь, остры, как меч обоюдоострый;
4 but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 ноги ее нисходят к смерти, стопы ее достигают преисподней.
5 Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to Sheol.
6 Если бы ты захотел постигнуть стезю жизни ее, то пути ее непостоянны, и ты не узнаешь их.
6 She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn’t know it.
7 Итак, дети, слушайте меня и не отступайте от слов уст моих.
7 Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don’t depart from the words of my mouth.
8 Держи дальше от нее путь твой и не подходи близко к дверям дома ее,
8 Remove your way far from her. Don’t come near the door of her house,
9 чтобы здоровья твоего не отдать другим и лет твоих мучителю;
9 lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel one;
10 чтобы не насыщались силою твоею чужие, и труды твои не были для чужого дома.
10 lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich another man’s house.
11 И ты будешь стонать после, когда плоть твоя и тело твое будут истощены, -
11 You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
12 и скажешь: "зачем я ненавидел наставление, и сердце мое пренебрегало обличением,
12 and say, “How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof.
13 и я не слушал голоса учителей моих, не приклонял уха моего к наставникам моим:
13 I haven’t obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!
14 едва не впал я во всякое зло среди собрания и общества!"
14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin, among the gathered assembly.”
15 Пей воду из твоего водоема и текущую из твоего колодезя.
15 Drink water out of your own cistern, running water out of your own well.
16 Пусть [не] разливаются источники твои по улице, потоки вод - по площадям;
16 Should your springs overflow in the streets, streams of water in the public squares?
17 пусть они будут принадлежать тебе одному, а не чужим с тобою.
17 Let them be for yourself alone, not for strangers with you.
18 Источник твой да будет благословен; и утешайся женою юности твоей,
18 Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19 любезною ланью и прекрасною серною: груди ее да упоявают тебя во всякое время, любовью ее услаждайся постоянно.
19 A loving doe and a graceful deer— let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love.
20 И для чего тебе, сын мой, увлекаться постороннею и обнимать груди чужой?
20 For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another?
21 Ибо пред очами Господа пути человека, и Он измеряет все стези его.
21 For the ways of man are before Yahweh’s eyes. He examines all his paths.
22 Беззаконного уловляют собственные беззакония его, и в узах греха своего он содержится:
22 The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him. The cords of his sin hold him firmly.
23 он умирает без наставления, и от множества безумия своего теряется.
23 He will die for lack of instruction. In the greatness of his folly, he will go astray.

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).
… in man." For He called all men that mourn; and granting forgiveness to those who had been led into captivity by their sins, He loosed them from their chains, of whom Solomon says, "Every one shall be holden with the cords of his own sins." Therefore did the Spirit of God descend upon Him, [the Spirit] of Him who had …
For it is even this Holy Spirit, whom the bad cannot receive, even He is that Fountain of which the Scripture saith, "Let the fountain of thy water be thine own, and let no stranger partake with thee." For all who love not God, are strangers, are antichrists.

… "Give not heed to a bad woman: for honey droppeth from the lips of a woman that is an harlot, which, for a season, is luscious unto thy throat; but afterwards thou shalt find it more bitter than gall, and sharper than a two-edged sword." Unto these last then let us listen, not unto those.

Let then thus much suffice concerning those outcasts; and now let us return to the divine Scriptures, and let us drink waters out of our own cisterns [that is, the holy Fathers ], and out of our own springing wells.

"The wicked shall be holden with the cords of his own sins." Thereby are they deceived, whereby they would deceive.
