1 She preseved him,
that was first formed by God the father of the world, when he was created
alone,
2 And she brought him out of his sin, and
gave him power to govern all things.
3 But when the unjust went away from her in
his anger, he perished by the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.
4 For whose cause, when water destroyed the
earth, wisdom healed it again, directing the course of the just by
contemptible wood.
5 Moreover when the nations had conspired together
to consent to wickedness, she knew the just, and preserved him without blame
to God, and kept him strong against the compassion for his son.
6 She delivered the just man who fled from
the wicked that were perishing, when the fire came down upon Pentapolis:
7 Whose land for a testimony of their
wickedness is desolate, and smoketh to this day,
and the trees bear fruits that ripen not, and a standing pillar of salt is a
monument of an incredulous soul.
8 For regarding not wisdom, they did not
only slip in this, that they were ignorant of good things, but they left also
unto men a memorial of their folly, so that in the things in which they
sinned, they could not so much as lie hid.
9 But wisdom hath delivered from sorrow them
that attend upon her.
10 She conducted the just, when he fled from
his brother's wrath, through the right ways, and shewed
him the kingdom of God, and gave him the knowledge of the holy things, made
him honourable in his labours,
and accomplished his labours.
11 In the deceit of them that overreached
him, she stood by him, and made him honourable.
12 She kept him safe from his enemies, and she
defended him from seducers, and gave him a strong conflict, that he might
overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all.
13 She forsook not the just when he was sold,
but delivered him from sinners: she went down with him into the pit.
14 And in bands she left him not, till she
brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against
those that oppressed him: and shewed them to be
liars that had accused him, and gave him everlasting glory.
15 She delivered the just people, and
blameless seed from the nations that oppressed them.
16 She entered into the soul of the servant of
God, and stood against dreadful kings in wonders and signs.
17 And she rendered to the just the wages of
their labours, and conducted them in a wonderful
way: and she was to them for a covert by day, and for the light of stars by
night:
18 And she brought them through the Red
Sea, and carried them over through a great water.
19 But their enemies she drowned in the sea,
and from the depth of hell she brought them out. Therefore the just took the
spoils of the wicked.
20 And they sung to thy holy name, O Lord, and
they praised with one accord thy victorious hand.
21 For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb,
and made the tongues of infants eloquent.

1- هي التي حفظت اول من جبل ابا
للعالم لما خلق وحده.
2- و انقذته من زلته و اتته قوة ليتسلط على
الجميع.
3- و لما ارتد عنها الظالم في غضبه هلك في
حنقه الذي كان به قاتل اخيه.
4- و لما غمر الطوفان الارض بسببه عادت الحكمة
فخلصتها بهدايتها للصديق في الة خشب حقيرة.
5- و هي التي عند اتفاق لفيف
الامم على الشر لقيت الصديق و صانته لله بغير وصمة و حفظت احشائه صماء عن ولده.
6- و هي التي انقذت الصديق من المنافقين
الهالكين فهرب من النار الهابطة على المدن الخمس.
7- و الى الان يشهد بشرهم قفر يسطع منه الدخان
و نبات يثمر ثمرا لا ينضج و عمود من ملح قائم تذكارا لنفس لم تؤمن.
8- و الذين اهملوا الحكمة لم ينحصر ظلمهم
لانفسهم بجهلهم الصلاح و لكنهم خلفوا للناس ذكر حماقتهم بحيث لم يستطيعوا كتمان
ما زلوا فيه.
9- و اما الذين خدموا الحكمة فانقذتهم من كل
نصب.
10- و هي التي قادت الصديق الهارب من غضب اخيه
في سبل مستقيمة و ارته ملكوت الله و اتته علم القديسين و انجحته في اتعابه و
اكثرت ثمرات اعماله.
11- و عند طماعة المستطيلين عليه انتصبت
لمعونته و اغنته.
12- و وقته من اعدائه و حمته من الكامنين له و
اظفرته في القتال الشديد لكي يعلم ان التقوى اقدر من كل شيء.
13- و هي التي لم تخذل الصديق المبيع بل صانته
من الخطيئة و نزلت معه في الجب.
14- و في القيود لم تفارقه حتى ناولته صوالجة
الملك و سلطانا على الذين قسروه و كذبت الذين عابوه و اتته مجدا ابديا.
15- و هي التي انقذت شعبا مقدسا و زرية لا
وصمة فيها من امة مضايقيهم.
16- و حلت نفس عبد للرب و قاومت ملوكا مرهوبين
بعجائب و ايات.
17- و جزت القديسين ثواب اتعابهم و قادتهم في
طريق عجيب و كانت لهم ظلا في النهار و ضياء نجوم في الليل.
18- و عبرت بهم البحر الاحمر و اجازتهم المياه
الغزيرة.
19- اما اعداؤهم فاغرقتهم ثم قذفتهم من عمق
الغمار على الشاطئ فسلب الصديقون المنافقين.
20- و رنموا لاسمك القدوس ايها الرب و حمدوا
بقلب واحد يدك الناصرة.
21- لان الحكمة فتحت افواه البكم و جعلت السنة
الاطفال تفصح
