- Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path.
- Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat,
- for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
- Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
- Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding.

- わが 子よ, 聞き 從って 知惠を 得よ. あなたの 心が 道をまっすぐに 進むようにせよ.
- 大酒を 飮むな, 身を 持ち 崩すな.
- 大酒を 飮み, 身を 持ち 崩す 者は 貧乏になり /惰眠をむさぼる 者はぼろをまとう.
- 父に 聞き 從え, 生みの 親である 父に. 母が 年老いても 侮ってはならない.
- 眞理を 得よ, 知惠も 諭しも 分別も 手放すな.
