The Words of King Lemuel
The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
Се слова царя Лемуїла; наука, яку дала йому мати його:
What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
Що ж, сину мій? що, дитино тїла мого? що, обітниць моїх ти сину?*
Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
Не оддавай жіноцтву сил твоїх, анї поступків твоїх тим погубницям царів.
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
Не царям, Лемуїлю, не царям пити вино, не князям сикер попивати,
Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
Щоб вони, напившись, права не забули та й не покривили суду всїх людей убогих.
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
Дайте сикеру бідоласї, й вина тим, що їх серце в горю;
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Нехай випє й свої забуде злиднї, та не думає все про свої страдання.
Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
Отверай уста за того, хто голосу нїде не має, та щоб сиріт боронити.
Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
Одверзай уста твої на правосуд та для справи бідного й нужденного.
