Ne, sine zavjeta mojih! ³ Ne daj snage svoje ženama ni putova svojih zatiračima kraljeva. ⁴ Nije za kraljeve, Lemuele, ne pristaje kraljevima vino piti, ni glavarima piće opojno, ⁵ da u piću ne zaborave zakona i prevrnu pravo nevoljnicima. ⁶ Dajte žestoko piće onomu koji će propasti i vino čovjeku komu je gorčina u duši: ⁷ on će piti i zaboraviti svoju bijedu i neće se više sjećati svoje nevolje. ⁸ Otvaraj usta svoja za nijemoga i za pravo sviju nesretnika što propadaju. ⁹ Otvaraj usta svoja, sudi pravedno i pribavi pravo siromahu i nevoljniku.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Slova proroctví Lemuele krále, kterýmž vyučovala jej matka jeho. ² Co dím, synu můj, co, synu života mého? Co, řku, dím, synu slibů mých? ³ Nedávej ženám síly své, ani cest svých těm, kteréž k zahynutí přivodí krále. ⁴ Ne králům, ó Lemueli, ne králům náleží píti víno, a ne pánům žádost nápoje opojného, ⁵ Aby pije, nezapomněl na ustanovení, a nezměnil pře všech lidí ssoužených. ⁶ Dejte nápoj opojný hynoucímu, a víno těm, kteříž jsou truchlivého ducha, ⁷ Ať se napije, a zapomene na chudobu svou, a na trápení své nezpomíná více. ⁸ Otevři ústa svá za němého, v při všech oddaných k smrti, ⁹ Otevři, řku, ústa svá, suď spravedlivě, a veď při chudého a nuzného.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Lemuels, en Konges, Ord; et varslende Ord, hvormed hans Moder underviste ham. ² Hvad? min Søn! og hvad? mit Livs Søn! og hvad? mine Løfters Søn! ³ Giv ikke Kvinderne din Kraft, og giv dig ikke ind paa en Vej, der Ødelægger Konger. ⁴ Det bør ikke Konger, Lemuel! det bør ikke Konger at drikke Vin, ej heller Fyrster at drikke stærk Drik, ⁵ at han ikke skal drikke og glemme det, som er Lov, og forvende alle elendige Folks Ret. ⁶ Giver stærk Drik til den, som er ved at omkomme, og Vin til den, som er beskelig bedrøvet i Sjælen, ⁷ at han maa drikke og glemme sin Armod og ikke mere komme sin Møje i Hu. ⁸ Oplad din Mund for den stumme til alle forladte Børns Ret. ⁹ Oplad din Mund, døm Retfærdighed, og skaf den elendige og fattige Ret!

Esperanto⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Vortoj de la regxo Lemuel, instruo, kiun donis al li lia patrino. ² Ho mia filo, ho filo de mia ventro! Ho filo de miaj promesoj! ³ Ne donu al la virinoj vian forton, Nek viajn agojn al la pereigantoj de regxoj. ⁴ Ne al la regxoj, ho Lemuel, ne al la regxoj konvenas trinki vinon, Nek al la princoj deziri ebriigajxojn. ⁵ CXar drinkinte, ili povas forgesi la legxojn, Kaj ili malgxustigos la jugxon de cxiuj prematoj. ⁶ Donu ebriigajxon al la pereanto, Kaj vinon al tiu, kiu havas suferantan animon. ⁷ Li trinku, kaj forgesu sian malricxecon, Kaj li ne plu rememoru sian malfelicxon. ⁸ Malfermu vian busxon por senvocxulo, Por la defendo de cxiuj forlasitaj. ⁹ Malfermu vian busxon, por jugxi juste, Por defendi malricxulon kaj senhavulon.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Kuningas Lemuelin sanat: oppi, jonka hänen äitinsä hänelle opetti: ² Ah minun poikani, ah minun kohtuni poika, ah minun toivottu poikani! ³ Älä anna vaimon saada tavaraas, ja älä käy niillä retkillä, joissa kuninkaat turmeltuvat. ⁴ Ei kuningasten, o Lemuel, ei sovi kuningasten viinaa juoda, eli ruhtinasten väkeviä juotavia, ⁵ Ettei he joisi, ja oikeutta unohtaisi, ja vääntelisi köyhäin asiaa. ⁶ Antakaat väkeviä juotavia niille, jotka hukkumallnsa ovat, ja viinaa murheellisille sieluille, ⁷ Että he joisivat, ja unohtaisivat ahdistuksensa, ja ei enää johdattaisi mieleensä viheliäisyyttänsä. ⁸ Avaa suus mykän edessä, ja auta hyljättyin asiaa. ⁹ Avaa suus, ja tuomitse oikein, ja pelasta vaivainen ja köyhä.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Lemuelin, Massan kuninkaan, sanat, joilla hänen äitinsä kasvatti häntä. ² Mitä, poikani; mitä, kohtuni poika; mitä, lupausteni poika? ³ Älä anna voimaasi naisille, vaellustasi kuningasten turmelijatarten valtaan. ⁴ Ei sovi kuningasten, Lemuel, ei sovi kuningasten viiniä juoda eikä ruhtinasten kysellä: "Missä väkijuomaa?" ⁵ Muutoin hän juodessaan unhottaa, mitä saädetty on, ja vääntelee kaikkien kurjuuden lasten oikeuden. ⁶ Antakaa väkevää juomaa menehtyvälle ja viiniä murhemielisille. ⁷ Sellainen juokoon ja unhottakoon köyhyytensä älköönkä enää vaivaansa muistelko. ⁸ Avaa suusi mykän hyväksi, oikeuden hankkimiseksi kaikille sortuville. ⁹ Avaa suusi, tuomitse oikein, hanki kurjalle ja köyhälle oikeus.

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Men Pawòl wa Lemwèl, men konsèy manman l' te ba li: ² Kisa pou m' di ou, pitit mwen, pitit ki soti nan zantray mwen? Se mwen ki te mande Bondye pou l' ban mwen ou. Kisa pou m' di ou? ³ Pa gaspiye kouray ou nan fanm. Veye zo ou ak fanm k'ap fè malè chèf yo. ⁴ Lemwèl monchè, yon wa pa fèt pou nan bwè bweson. Chèf pa fèt pou nan bwè gwòg. ⁵ Lè yo bwè konsa, yo bliye lòd yo te bay. Yo p'ap pran ka malere yo. ⁶ Se moun ki dekouraje ak lavi ki tonbe nan gwòg. Se moun ki gen gwo lapenn nan kè yo ki lage kò yo nan bweson. ⁷ Yo bwè pou yo bliye mizè yo, pou yo pa chonje lapenn yo. ⁸ Louvri bouch ou pale pou moun ki pa ka pale pou tèt yo. Defann kòz moun ki san sekou yo. ⁹ Pale pou yo. Pa fè patipri. Defann kòz malere yo ak endijan yo.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Lemuel király beszédei, próféczia, melylyel tanította vala õt az anyja. ² Mit [szóljak,] fiam? mit, én méhem gyermeke? mit, én fogadásimnak gyermeke? ³ Ne add asszonyoknak a te erõdet, és a te útaidat a királyok eltörlõinek. ⁴ Távol legyen a királyoktól, oh Lemuel, távol legyen a királyoktól a bornak itala; és az uralkodóktól a részegítõ ital keresése. ⁵ Hogy mikor iszik, el ne felejtkezzék a törvényrõl, és el ne fordítsa valamely nyomorultnak igazságát. ⁶ Adjátok a részegítõ italt az elveszendõnek, és a bort a keseredett szívûeknek. ⁷ Igyék, hogy felejtkezzék az õ szegénységérõl, és az õ nyavalyájáról ne emlékezzék meg többé. ⁸ Nyisd meg a te szádat a mellett, a ki néma, és azoknak dolgában, a kik adattak veszedelemre. ⁹ Nyisd meg a te szádat, ítélj igazságot; forgasd ügyét a szegénynek és a szûkölködõnek!

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Inilah perkataan-perkataan yang diucapkan oleh ibunda Lemuel, raja Masa kepada anaknya, ² "Anakku, buah hatiku, yang kulahirkan sebagai jawaban atas doaku. Apakah yang akan kukatakan kepadamu? ³ Janganlah memboroskan tenagamu atau menghamburkan kekuatanmu kepada wanita. Sudah banyak raja yang hancur karena wanita. ⁴ Ingatlah, Lemuel! Minum anggur dan ketagihan minuman keras, tidak pantas bagi penguasa. ⁵ Sebab, apabila raja minum minuman keras, ia lupa akan hukum dan tidak menghiraukan hak orang lemah. ⁶ Minuman keras adalah untuk mereka yang merana dan bersedih hati. ⁷ Mereka minum untuk melupakan kemiskinan dan kesusahan mereka. ⁸ Belalah mereka yang tak dapat membela dirinya sendiri. Lindungilah hak semua orang yang tak berdaya. ⁹ Berjuanglah untuk mereka, dan jadilah hakim yang adil. Lindungilah hak orang miskin dan orang tertindas."

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Le parole del re Lemuel; il sermone profetico, col quale sua madre l’ammaestrò. ² CHE, figliuol mio? Che, figliuolo del seno mio? E che, figliuolo de’ miei voti? ³ Non dar la tua forza alle donne, Nè i tuoi costumi a ciò che è per distruggere i re. ⁴ Ei non si conviene ai re, o Lemuel, Ei non si conviene ai re d’esser bevitori di vino, Nè a’ principi d’esser bevitori di cervogia; ⁵ Che talora eglino, avendo bevuto, non dimentichino gli statuti, E non pervertano il diritto di qualunque povero afflitto. ⁶ Date la cervogia al miserabile, E il vino a quelli che sono in amaritudine d’animo; ⁷ Acciocchè bevano, e dimentichino la lor miseria, E non si ricordino più de’ lor travagli. ⁸ Apri la tua bocca per lo mutolo, Per mantenere la ragion di tutti quelli che sono in pericolo di perire. ⁹ Apri la tua bocca; giudica giustamente; Fa’ diritto al povero ed al bisognoso.
