This is what wise men have declared, wise men who hid nothing of what they had received from their fathers,
(what wise men have told, without hiding it from their fathers,

“Listen, and I will answer you from my own experience, confirmed by the experience of wise men who have been told this same thing from their fathers—our ancestors to whom alone the land was given—and they have passed this wisdom to us:
“I’ve a thing or two to tell you, so listen up! I’m letting you in on my views; It’s what wise men and women have always taught, holding nothing back from what they were taught By their parents, back in the days when they had this land all to themselves: Those who live by their own rules, not God’s, can expect nothing but trouble, and the longer they live, the worse it gets. Every little sound terrifies them. Just when they think they have it made, disaster strikes. They despair of things ever getting better— they’re on the list of people for whom things always turn out for the worst. They wander here and there, never knowing where the next meal is coming from— every day is doomsday! They live in constant terror, always with their backs up against the wall Because they insist on shaking their fists at God, defying God Almighty to his face, Always and ever at odds with God, always on the defensive.
what wise men have told, not hiding anything received from their fathers,
I’ll tell you what wise people have declared and what was not kept secret from their ancestors.
What the wise relate and have not contradicted since the days of their ancestors,
What wise people have told, And have not concealed from their fathers,
What wise men have told, And have not concealed from their fathers,
what has been related by wise men who have faithfully transmitted the teachings of their ancestors,
These are things wise men have told; their ancestors told them, and they have hidden nothing.
what wise men declare, hiding nothing, from the tradition of their ancestors,
I’ll tell you what those who are wise have said. They don’t hide anything they’ve received from their people of long ago.
what the wise have declared, hiding nothing received from their ancestors
what the wise have declared, hiding nothing received from their ancestors
What wise men have told, Not hiding anything received from their fathers,
what wise men have told that they learned from their fathers. They have not hidden anything.
And it is confirmed by the reports of wise men who have heard the same thing from their fathers—
what sages have told, and their ancestors have not hidden,
what sages have told, and their ancestors have not hidden,
what sages have told, and their ancestors have not hidden,
what sages have told and their ancestors have not hidden,
Things which chachamim declare from their avot without concealment;
(what wise men have told, and their fathers have not hidden,
(what wise men have told, and their fathers have not hidden,
what wise men have declared and did not hide from their ancestors,
The very things that knowledgeable men have declared and which they do not hide that they heard from their fathers
(which wise men have told by their fathers, and have not hidden it;
Wise men acknowledge, and hide (it) not their fathers. (The wise acknowledge it, and their forefathers hide it not.)
Which the wise declare -- And have not hid -- from their fathers.
