¹Múdrosť si vystavila svoj dom; utesala svojich stĺpov sedem;

¹Wisdom has built her house. She has carved out her seven pillars.

²pobila svoj dobytok; pomiešala svoje víno, ba pripravila i svoj stôl;

²She has prepared her meat. She has mixed her wine. She has also set her table.

³rozposlala svoje devy a volá na najvyšších miestach výšin mesta:

³She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city:

⁴Ten, kto je hlúpy, nech sa uchýli sem! A tomu, kto je bez rozumu, hovorí:

⁴“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,

⁵Poďte, jedzte z môjho chleba a pite z vína, ktorého som namiešala.

⁵“Come, eat some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed!

⁶Zanechajte hlúposť a žite a kráčajte cestou rozumnosti.

⁶Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding.”

⁷Ten, kto učiac tresce posmievača, odnáša si hanbu, a tomu, kto dohovára bezbožnému, to bude škvrnou.

⁷He who corrects a mocker invites insult. He who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.

⁸Nekarhaj posmievača, aby ťa nevzal v nenávisť; dohováraj múdremu, a bude ťa milovať.

⁸Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise man, and he will love you.

⁹Daj poučenia múdremu, a bude ešte múdrejší; daj poznať spravedlivému, a priberie naučenia.

⁹Instruct a wise man, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

¹⁰Počiatkom múdrosti je bázeň Hospodinova, a známosť Najsvätejšieho je rozumnosťou.

¹⁰The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

¹¹Lebo mnou, hovorí múdrosť, sa rozmnožia tvoje dni, a pridajú ti rokov života.

¹¹For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased.

¹²Ak budeš múdry, budeš sebe múdry, ale ak budeš posmievač, sám ponesieš.

¹²If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.

¹³Bláznivá žena je štebotná, sprostá a nevie ničoho.

¹³The foolish woman is loud, Undisciplined, and knows nothing.

¹⁴Ale sedí pri dveriach svojho domu na stolci, na vysokých miestach mesta,

¹⁴She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

¹⁵aby volala na tých, ktorí idú pomimo cestou, ktorí idú priamo svojimi stezkami, a hovorí:

¹⁵To call to those who pass by, who go straight on their ways,

¹⁶Kto je hlúpy, nech sa uchýli sem! A tomu, kto je bez rozumu, hovorí:

¹⁶“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.” as for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,

¹⁷Ukradnutá voda je sladká a pokútny chlieb je chutný.

¹⁷“Stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret is pleasant.”

¹⁸A hlupák nevie, že sú tam mŕtvi a v hlbinách pekla tí, ktorých pozvala.

¹⁸But he doesn’t know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .
