1 [Melior est sapientia quam vires, et vir prudens quam fortis.
·
1 Hear therefore, you kings, and understand. Learn, you judges of the ends of the earth.
2 Audite ergo, reges, et intelligite; discite, judices finium terræ.
·
2 Give ear, you rulers who have dominion over many people, and make your boast in multitudes of nations,
3 Præbete aures, vos qui continetis multitudines, et placetis vobis in turbis nationum.
·
3 because your dominion was given to you from the Lord, and your sovereignty from the Most High. He will search out your works, and will inquire about your plans,
4 Quoniam data est a Domino potestas vobis, et virtus ab Altissimo: qui interrogabit opera vestra, et cogitationes scrutabitur.
·
4 because being officers of his kingdom, you didn’t judge rightly, nor did you keep the law, nor did you walk according to God’s counsel.
5 Quoniam cum essetis ministri regni illius, non recte judicastis, nec custodistis legem justitiæ, neque secundum voluntatem Dei ambulastis.
·
5 He will come upon you awfully and swiftly, because a stern judgment comes on those who are in high places.
6 Horrende et cito apparebit vobis, quoniam judicium durissimum his qui præsunt fiet.
·
6 For the man of low estate may be pardoned in mercy, but mighty men will be mightily tested.
7 Exiguo enim conceditur misericordia; potentes autem potenter tormenta patientur.
·
7 For the Sovereign Lord of all will not be impressed with anyone, neither will he show deference to greatness; because it is he who made both small and great, and cares about them all;
8 Non enim subtrahet personam cujusquam Deus, nec verebitur magnitudinem ejus cujusquam, quoniam pusillum et magnum ipse fecit, et æqualiter cura est illi de omnibus.
·
8 but the scrutiny that comes upon the powerful is strict.
9 Fortioribus autem fortior instat cruciatio.
·
9 Therefore, my words are to you, O princes, that you may learn wisdom and not fall away.
10 Ad vos ergo, reges, sunt hi sermones mei: ut discatis sapientiam, et non excidatis.
·
10 For those who have kept the things that are holy in holiness will be made holy. Those who have been taught them will find what to say in defense.
11 Qui enim custodierint justa juste, justificabuntur; et qui didicerint ista, invenient quid respondeant.
·
11 Therefore set your desire on my words. Long for them, and you princes will be instructed.
12 Concupiscite ergo sermones meos; diligite illos, et habebitis disciplinam.
·
12 Wisdom is radiant and doesn’t fade away; and is easily seen by those who love her, and found by those who seek her.
13 Clara est, et quæ numquam marcescit, sapientia: et facile videtur ab his qui diligunt eam, et invenitur ab his qui quærunt illam.
·
13 She anticipates those who desire her, making herself known.
14 Præoccupat qui se concupiscunt, ut illis se prior ostendat.
·
14 He who rises up early to seek her won’t have difficulty, for he will find her sitting at his gates.
15 Qui de luce vigilaverit ad illam non laborabit; assidentem enim illam foribus suis inveniet.
·
15 For to think upon her is perfection of understanding, and he who watches for her will quickly be free from care;
16 Cogitare ergo de illa sensus est consummatus, et qui vigilaverit propter illam cito securus erit.
·
16 because she herself goes around, seeking those who are worthy of her, and in their paths she appears to them graciously, and in every purpose she meets them.
17 Quoniam dignos se ipsa circuit quærens, et in viis ostendit se hilariter, et in omni providentia occurrit illis.
·
17 For her true beginning is desire for instruction; and desire for instruction is love.
18 Initium enim illius verissima est disciplinæ concupiscentia.
·
18 And love is observance of her laws. To give heed to her laws confirms immortality.
19 Cura ergo disciplinæ dilectio est, et dilectio custodia legum illius est; custoditio autem legum consummatio incorruptionis est;
·
19 Immortality brings closeness to God.
21 Concupiscentia itaque sapientiæ deducit ad regnum perpetuum.
·
21 If therefore you delight in thrones and sceptres, you princes of peoples, honor wisdom, that you may reign forever.
22 Si ergo delectamini sedibus et sceptris, o reges populi, diligite sapientiam, ut in perpetuum regnetis:
·
22 But what wisdom is, and how she came into being, I will declare. I won’t hide mysteries from you; but I will explore from her first beginning, bring the knowledge of her into clear light, and I will not pass by the truth.
23 diligite lumen sapientiæ, omnes qui præestis populis.]
·
23 Indeed, I won’t travel with consuming envy, because envy will have no fellowship with wisdom.
24 [Quid est autem sapientia, et quemadmodum facta sit, referam, et non abscondam a vobis sacramenta Dei: sed ab initio nativitatis investigabo, et ponam in lucem scientiam illius, et non præteribo veritatem.
·
24 But a multitude of wise men is salvation to the world, and an understanding king is stability for his people.
25 Neque cum invidia tabescente iter habebo, quoniam talis homo non erit particeps sapientiæ.
·
25 Therefore be instructed by my words, and you will profit.
26 Multitudo autem sapientium sanitas est orbis terrarum, et rex sapiens stabilimentum populi est.

«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo.

The apostle "desires to depart, and to be with Christ." And, "My soul desired to long for Thy judgments;" or if it is more appropriate to say, "My soul longed to desire Thy judgments." And, "The desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom." Yet there has always obtained the usage of understanding desire and concupiscence in a bad sense if …

"For mighty" men (it is said) "shall be mightily tormented:" and "He that knew his Lord's will, and doeth it not, shall be beaten with many stripes." So that more knowledge is a ground of more punishment.

Only let us open to Him our doors; for He goeth about seeking such as are worthy and searching on whom He may confer His gifts.

And, therefore, Scripture does not say that the multitude of the eloquent, but "the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world." And as we must often swallow wholesome bitters, so we must always avoid unwholesome sweets.
