| 2 | tu es enlacé dans les paroles de ta bouche, tu es pris dans les paroles de ta bouche. | Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. | Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. | sei colto nel laccio dalle parole della tua bocca, sei preso dalle parole della tua bocca. |

| 4 | Ne permets pas à tes yeux de dormir, ni à tes paupières de sommeiller; | Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. | Give not sleep to thine eyes, Nor slumber to thine eyelids; | Non dar sonno ai tuoi occhi né riposo alle tue palpebre; |

| 7 | Elle qui n'a ni chef, ni surveillant, ni gouverneur, | Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, | Which having no chief, Overseer, or ruler, | Essa non ha né capo né sorvegliante né padrone; |

| 11 | et ta pauvreté viendra comme un voyageur, et ton dénuement comme un homme armé. | So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. | So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man. | così la tua povertà verrà come un ladro, e la tua indigenza come un uomo armato. |
| 12 | Celui qui marche, la perversité dans sa bouche, est un homme de Bélial, un homme inique; | A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. | A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he that walketh with a perverse mouth; | La persona da nulla, l'uomo malvagio, cammina con una bocca perversa; |
| 13 | il cligne de ses yeux, il parle de ses pieds, il enseigne de ses doigts; | He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; | That winketh with his eyes, that speaketh with his feet, That maketh signs with his fingers; | ammicca con gli occhi, parla con i piedi fa cenni con le dita; |
| 14 | il y a des pensées perverses dans son coeur, il machine du mal en tout temps, il sème des querelles. | Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. | In whose heart is perverseness, Who deviseth evil continually, Who soweth discord. | ha la perversità nel cuore, macchina del male continuamente, e semina discordie. |

| 22 | Quand tu marcheras, il te conduira; quand tu dormiras, il te gardera; et quand tu te réveilleras, il s'entretiendra avec toi. | When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. | When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. | Quando camminerai, ti guideranno; quando riposerai, veglieranno su di te; quando ti risveglierai, parleranno con te. |
| 23 | Car le commandement est une lampe et l'enseignement une lumière, et les répréhensions de la discipline sont le chemin de la vie, | For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: | For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life: | Poiché il comandamento è una lampada, l'insegnamento una luce, e le correzioni dell'ammaestramento sono la via della vita, |

| 26 | car par la femme prostituée on en vient jusqu'à un morceau de pain, et la femme d'autrui chasse après l'âme précieuse. | For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life. | For on account of a harlot [a man is brought] to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life. | Poiché per una prostituta uno si riduce a un tozzo di pane, e la moglie di un altro dà la caccia all'anima preziosa di un uomo. |
| 27 | Un homme prendra-t-il du feu dans son sein sans que ses vêtements brûlent? | Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? | Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned? | Può un uomo portare fuoco nel suo seno senza bruciarsi gli abiti? |

| 29 | Ainsi celui qui entre vers la femme de son prochain..., quiconque la touchera ne sera point innocent. | So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. | So he that goeth in to his neighbor`s wife; Whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished. | Così è di chi va dalla moglie di un altro; chi la tocca non rimarrà impunito. |
| 30 | On ne méprise pas un voleur s'il vole pour satisfaire son âme quand il a faim; | Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; | Men do not despise a thief, if he steal To satisfy himself when he is hungry: | Non si disprezza il ladro se ruba per soddisfare l'appetito quando ha fame; |
| 31 | et s'il est trouvé, il rendra le septuple, il donnera tous les biens de sa maison. | But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. | But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; He shall give all the substance of his house. | ma se viene colto in fallo, dovrà restituire sette volte, e dare tutti i beni della sua casa. |
| 32 | Celui qui commet adultère avec une femme manque de sens; celui qui le fait détruit son âme: | But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. | He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: He doeth it who would destroy his own soul. | Ma chi commette adulterio con una donna è privo di senno; chi fa questo distrugge la sua stessa vita. |
| 33 | il trouvera plaie et mépris, et son opprobre ne sera pas effacé; | A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. | Wounds and dishonor shall he get; And his reproach shall not be wiped away. | Troverà ferite e disprezzo, e la sua vergogna non sarà mai cancellata, |
| 34 | car dans l'homme, la jalousie est une fureur, et il n'épargnera pas au jour de la vengeance; | For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. | For jealousy is the rage of a man; And he will not spare in the day of vengeance. | perché la gelosia rende furioso il marito, che sarà senza pietà nel giorno della vendetta. |
| 35 | il n'acceptera aucune propitiation, et ne se tiendra pas pour satisfait, quand tu multiplierais les présents. | He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts. | He will not regard any ransom; Neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts. | Egli non accetterà alcun riscatto e non sarà soddisfatto, anche se dovesse fare molti regali. |
