1 On do podah ni si Salomo, anak ni si Daud, raja ni Israel,
2 ase ibotoh halak hapentaran pakon pangajaran, ase iarusi hata hapantason,
3 ase tarjalosi pangajaran na madear, hapintoron, uhum pakon habonaron,
4 laho mambere hapantason bani halak sibulus uhur, habotohon pakon panimbangion bani anak garama.
5 Halak na pentar pe itangihon ma ai, ase tambah habotohon bani, anjaha halak na maruhur dapotan pangajarion,
6 laho mangartihon podah pakon limbaga, hata ni halak na pentar pakon hutinta ni sidea.
7 Biar mangidah Jahowa do parmulaan ni habotohon; halak na bodoh teos do uhurni bani hapentaran pakon pangajaran.
8 Tangihon ma, ale anakku, pangajarion ni bapamu, ulang ma buangkon podah ni inangmu.
9 Ai rudang na majenges do ai bani ulumu, anjaha sinongkok bani borgokmu.
10 Ale anakku, anggo iajar-ajari pardousa ho, ulang ma tangihon.
11 Porini ihatahon sidea, “Eta, irikkon ma hanami monggop laho manduruskon daroh, gompangi hita ma halak na so marpipot, age seng dong halani.
12 Bolur hita ma sidea songon pambahen ni nagori toruh, manggoluh anjaha hibul, songon halak na dob tuad hu tanoman.
13 Bagei ma arta na maharga dapot hita holi, boi ma igoki hita jabunta bani barang rampasan.
14 Dihut do ho marbagian rap pakon hanami, sisada parduitan do hita haganup.”
15 Ale anakku, ulang ma ho ra sadalanan pakon sidea, padaoh ma naheimu humbani dalan ni sidea;
16 ai dompak hasamboron do marlintun nahei ni sidea, tarolos do sidea manduruskon daroh.
17 Ai soya do itaon puhot i lobei ni mata ni manuk-manuk,
18 anjaha sidea ai, daroh ni sidea sandiri do nionggopanni, anjaha hosahni sandiri do ginompanganni.
19 Sonai do masa bani halak na hisapan bani pansarian, hosahni sandiri do hona buat.
20 Dilo-dilo do hapentaran ai i alaman, ipamaling do sorani i tiga;
21 bani ianan na ramei taur-taur do Ia, anjaha bani horbangan ni huta ai iluarhon hatani.
22 Piga dokah nari do, ale halak na oto, holong uhurnima bani haotoon? Piga dokah nari do, ale halak siparrehei, marosuh hanima manrehei, anjaha halak na oto magigi bani habotohon?
23 Dompakkon hanima ma pangajaranku, tonggor ma, useihononku do Tonduyhu, anjaha pabotohkononku do hatangku bennima.
24 Halani dilo-dilo ahu, tapi seng ra hanima manangihon, husurdukkon tanganku, tapi sahalak pe lang na parduli,
25 itulak hanima do tene haganup podahku, anjaha seng pot hanima bani pangajarionku,
26 halani ai partatawaonku do hanima bani hamagouannima, anjaha mandoruni bani pangonai ni songgot-songgot bennima,
27 bani na mangonai bennima songgot-songgot songon haba-haba, bani na roh bennima hasedaon songon halisungsung, bani na sogop bennima hasosakan ampa hagobiron.
28 Jadi dilo-dilo ma sidea bangku, tapi seng hubalosi, pindah-pindah sidea bangku, tapi seng jumpah sidea ahu.
29 Halani magigi sidea bani habotohon, anjaha seng ipilih biar bani Jahowa,
30 seng pot sidea bani podahku, anjaha itulak ganup pangajarionku,
31 halani ai, maningon panganon ni sidea do buah ni parlahouni, anjaha bosur sidea bani ranggianni.
32 Ai panundalion ni halak na oto do gabe hamatean bani, anjaha halanseion ni halak na lontong parsedahon dirini.
33 Tapi atap ise na manangihon ahu, marsonang-sonang do ia marianan, seng anjai gobir ia dompak songgot-songgot ni hamagouan.
