Κεφάλαιο 5

|
|
But call, if any one will hearken to thee, or if thou shalt see any of the holy angels.
|
ΕΠΙΚΑΛΕΣΑΙ δέ, εἴ τίς σοι ὑπακούσεται, ἢ εἴ τινα ἀγγέλων ἁγίων ὄψῃ·
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
For wrath destroys the foolish one, and envy slays him that has gone astray.
|
καὶ γὰρ ἄφρονα ἀναιρεῖ ὀργή, πεπλανημένον δὲ θανατοῖ ζῆλος,
|
|
3
|
3
|
|
And I have seen foolish ones taking root: but suddenly their habitation was devoured.
|
ἐγὼ δὲ ἑώρακα ἄφρονας ρίζαν βάλλοντας, ἀλλ᾿ εὐθέως ἐβρώθη αὐτῶν ἡ δίαιτα.
|

|
|
Let their children be far from safety, and let them be crushed at the doors of vile men, and let there be no deliverer.
|
πόρρω γένοιντο οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ σωτηρίας, κολαβρισθείησαν δὲ ἐπὶ θύραις ἡσσόνων, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἐξαιρούμενος·
|
|

|

|
|
For what they have collected, the just shall eat; but they shall not be delivered out of calamities: let their strength be utterly exhausted.
|
ἃ γὰρ ἐκεῖνοι συνήγαγον, δίκαιοι ἔδονται, αὐτοὶ δὲ ἐκ κακῶν οὐκ ἐξαίρετοι ἔσονται. ἐκσιφωνισθείη αὐτῶν ἡ ἰσχύς·
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
For labour cannot by any means come out of the earth, nor shall trouble spring out of the mountains:
|
οὐ γὰρ μὴ ἐξέλθῃ ἐκ τῆς γῆς κόπος, οὐδὲ ἐξ ὀρέων ἀναβλαστήσει πόνος·
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
yet man is born to labour, and even so the vulture's young seek the high places.
|
ἀλλὰ ἄνθρωπος γεννᾶται κόπῳ, νεοσσοὶ δὲ γυπὸς τὰ ὑψηλὰ πέτονται.
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
Nevertheless I will beseech the Lord, and will call upon the Lord, the sovereign of all;
|
οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ ἐγὼ δεηθήσομαι Κυρίου, Κύριον δὲ τῶν πάντων δεσπότην ἐπικαλέσομαι,
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
who does great things and untraceable, glorious things also, and marvellous, of which there is no number:
|
τὸν ποιοῦντα μεγάλα καὶ ἀνεξιχνίαστα, ἔνδοξά τε καὶ ἐξαίσια, ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός·
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
who gives rain upon the earth, sending water on the earth:
|
τὸν διδόντα ὑετὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, ἀποστέλλοντα ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τὴν ὑπ᾿ οὐρανόν·
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
who exalts the lowly, and raises up them that are lost:
|
τὸν ποιοῦντα ταπεινοὺς εἰς ὕψος, καὶ ἀπολωλότας ἐξεγείροντα·
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
frustrating the counsels of the crafty, and their hands shall not perform the truth:
|
διαλλάσσοντα βουλὰς πανούργων, καὶ οὐ μὴ ποιήσουσιν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν ἀληθές.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
who takes the wise in their wisdom, and subverts the counsel of the crafty.
|
ὁ καταλαμβάνων σοφοὺς ἐν τῇ φρονήσει, βουλὴν δὲ πολυπλόκων ἐξέστησεν·
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
In the day darkness shall come upon them, and let them grope in the noon-day even as in the night:
|
ἡμέρας συναντήσεται αὐτοῖς σκότος, τὸ δὲ μεσημβρινὸν ψηλαφήσαισαν ἴσα νυκτί.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
and let them perish in war, and let the weak escape from the hand of the mighty.
|
ἀπόλοιντο δὲ ἐν πολέμῳ, ἀδύνατος δὲ ἐξέλθοι ἐκ χειρὸς δυνάστου·
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
And let the weak have hope, but the mouth of the unjust be stopped.
|
εἴη δὲ ἀδυνάτῳ ἐλπίς, ἀδίκου δὲ στόμα ἐμφραχθείη.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
But blessed is the man whom the Lord has reproved; and reject not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
|
μακάριος δὲ ἄνθρωπος, ὃν ἤλεγξεν ὁ Κύριος, νουθέτημα δὲ Παντοκράτορος μὴ ἀπαναίνου·
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
For he causes a man to be in pain, and restores him again: he smites, and his hands heal.
|
αὐτὸς γὰρ ἀλγεῖν ποιεῖ καὶ πάλιν ἀποκαθίστησιν· ἔπαισε, καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἰάσαντο.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
Six times he shall deliver thee out of distresses: and in the seventh harm shall not touch thee.
|
ἑξάκις ἐξ ἀναγκῶν σε ἐξελεῖται, ἐν δὲ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ οὐ μὴ ἅψηταί σου κακόν.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
In famine he shall deliver thee from death: and in war he shall free thee from the power of the sword.
|
ἐν λιμῷ ρύσεταί σε ἐκ θανάτου, ἐν πολέμῳ δὲ ἐκ χειρὸς σιδήρου λύσει σε.
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
He shall hide thee from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not be afraid of coming evils.
|
ἀπὸ μάστιγος γλώσσης σε κρύψει, καὶ οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇς ἀπὸ κακῶν ἐρχομένων.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
Thou shalt laugh at the unrighteous and the lawless: and thou shalt not be afraid of wild beasts.
|
ἀδίκων καὶ ἀνόμων καταγελάσῃ, ἀπὸ δὲ θηρίων ἀγρίων οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇς·
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
For the wild beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
|
θῆρες γὰρ ἄγριοι εἰρηνεύσουσί σοι.
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
Then shalt thou know that thy house shall be at peace, and the provision for thy tabernacle shall not fail.
|
εἶτα γνώσῃ ὅτι εἰρηνεύσει σου ὁ οἶκος, ἡ δὲ δίαιτα τῆς σκηνῆς σου οὐ μὴ ἁμάρτῃ.
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
And thou shalt know that thy seed shall be abundant; and thy children shall be like the herbage of the field.
|
γνώσῃ δὲ ὅτι πολὺ τὸ σπέρμα σου, τὰ δὲ τέκνα σου ἔσται ὥσπερ τὸ παμβότανον τοῦ ἀγροῦ.
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
And thou shalt come to the grave like ripe corn reaped in its season, or as a heap of the corn-flour collected in proper time.
|
ἐλεύσῃ δὲ ἐν τάφῳ ὥσπερ σῖτος ὥριμος κατὰ καιρὸν θεριζόμενος ἢ ὥσπερ θιμωνία ἅλωνος καθ᾿ ὥραν συγκομισθεῖσα.
|
|
27
|
27
|
|
Behold, we have thus sought out these matters; these are what we have heard: but do thou reflect with thyself, if thou hast done anything wrong.
|
ἰδοὺ ταῦτα οὕτως ἐξιχνιάσαμεν, ταῦτά ἐστιν ἃ ἀκηκόαμεν· σὺ δὲ γνῶθι σεαυτῶ εἴ τι ἔπραξας.
