Boast not of to-morrow; for thou knowest not what the next day shall bring forth.
|
ΜΗ καυχῶ τὰ εἰς αὔριον, οὐ γὰρ γινώσκεις τί τέξεται ἡ ἐπιοῦσα.
|

|
|
Let thy neighbour, and not thine own mouth, praise thee; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
|
ἐγκωμιαζέτω σε ὁ πέλας καὶ μὴ τὸ σὸν στόμα, ἀλλότριος καὶ μὴ τὰ σὰ χείλη.
|

|
|
A stone is heavy, and sand cumbersome; but a fool's wrath is heavier than both.
|
βαρὺ λίθος καὶ δυσβάστακτον ἄμμος, ὀργὴ δὲ ἄφρονος βαρυτέρα ἀμφοτέρων.
|

|
|
Wrath is merciless, and anger sharp: but envy can bear nothing.
|
ἀνελεήμων θυμὸς καὶ ὀξεῖα ὀργή, ἀλλ᾿ οὐδένα ὑφίσταται ζῆλος.
|
|

|

|
|
Open reproofs are better than secret love.
|
κρείσσους ἔλεγχοι ἀποκεκαλυμμένοι κρυπτομένης φιλίας.
|
|

|
|
The wounds of a friend are more to be trusted than the spontaneous kisses of an enemy.
|
ἀξιοπιστόστερά εἰσι τραύματα φίλου ἢ ἐκούσια φιλήματα ἐχθροῦ.
|
|

|
|
A full soul scorns honeycombs; but to a hungry soul even bitter things appear sweet.
|
ψυχὴ ἐν πλησμονῇ οὖσα κηρίοις ἐμπαίζει, ψυχῇ δὲ ἐνδεεῖ καὶ τὰ πικρὰ γλυκέα φαίνεται.
|

|
As when a bird flies down from its own nest, so a man is brought into bondage whenever he estranges himself from his own place.
|
ὥσπερ ὅταν ὄρνεον καταπετασθῇ ἐκ τῆς ἰδίας νοσσιᾶς, οὕτως ἄνθρωπος δουλοῦται ὅταν ἀποξενωθῇ ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων τόπων.
|
|

|
|
The heart delights in ointments and wines and perfumes: but the soul is broken by calamities.
|
μύροις καὶ οἴνοις καὶ θυμιάμασι τέρπεται καρδία, καταρρήγνυται δὲ ὑπὸ συμπτωμάτων ψυχή.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; and when thou art in distress go not into thy brother's house: better is a friend that is near than a brother living far off.
|
φίλον σὸν ἢ φίλον πατρῷον μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς, εἰς δὲ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου μὴ εἰσέλθης ἀτυχῶν· κρείσσων φίλος ἐγγὺς ἢ ἀδελφὸς μακρὰν οἰκῶν.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
Son, be wise, that thy heart may rejoice; and remove thou from thyself reproachful words.
|
σοφὸς γίνου, υἱέ, ἵνα σου εὐφραίνηται ἡ καρδία, καὶ ἀπόστρεψον ἀπὸ σοῦ ἐπονειδίστους λόγους.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
A wise man, when evils are approaching, hides himself; but fools pass on, and will be punished.
|
πανοῦργος κακῶν ἐπερχομένων ἀπεκρύβη, ἄφρονες δὲ ἐπελθόντες ζημίαν τίσουσιν.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
Take away the man's garment, (for a scorner has passed by) whoever lays waste another's goods.
|
ἀφελοῦ τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ, παρῆλθε γὰρ ὑβριστής, ὅστις τὰ ἀλλότρια λυμαίνεται.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
Whosoever shall bless a friend in the morning with a loud voice, shall seem to differ nothing from one who curses him.
|
ὃς ἂν εὐλογῇ φίλον τὸ πρωΐ μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ, καταρωμένου οὐδὲν διαφέρειν δόξει.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
On a stormy day drops of rain drive a man out of his house; so also does a railing woman drive a man out of his own house.
|
σταγόνες ἐκβάλλουσιν ἄνθρωπον ἐν ἡμέρᾳ χειμερινῇ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, ὡσαύτως καὶ γυνὴ λοίδορος ἐκ τοῦ ἱδίου οἴκου.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
The north wind is sharp, but it is called by name propitious.
|
Βορέας σκληρὸς ἄνεμος, ὀνόματι δὲ ἐπιδέξιος καλεῖται.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
Iron sharpens iron; and a man sharpens his friend's countenance.
|
σίδηρος σίδηρον ὀξύνει, ἀνὴρ δὲ παροξύνει πρόσωπον ἑταίρου.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
He that plants a fig-tree shall eat the fruits of it: so he that waits on his own master shall be honoured.
|
ὃς φυτεύει συκῆν φάγεται τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῆς, ὃς δὲ φυλάσσει τὸν ἑαυτοῦ κύριον, τιμηθήσεται.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
As faces are not like other faces, so neither are the thoughts of men.
|
ὥσπερ οὐκ ὅμοια πρόσωπα προσώποις, οὕτως οὐδὲ αἱ διάνοιαι τῶν ἀνθρώπων.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
Hell and destruction are not filled; so also are the eyes of men insatiable. He that fixes his eye is an abomination to the Lord; and the uninstructed do not restrain their tongue.
|
ᾅδης καὶ ἀπώλεια οὐκ ἐμπίμπλανται, ὡσαύτως καὶ οἱ ὁφθαλμοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἄπληστοι. 20α βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ στηρίζων ὀφθαλμόν, καὶ οἱ ἀπαίδευτοι ἀκρατεῖς γλώσσῃ.
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
Fire is the trial for silver and gold; and a man is tried by the mouth of them that praise him. The heart of the transgressor seeks after mischiefs; but an upright heart seeks knowledge.
|
δοκίμιον ἀργυρῷ καὶ χρυσῷ πύρωσις, ἀνὴρ δὲ δοκιμάζεται διὰ στόματος ἐγκωμιαζόντων αὐτόν. 21α καρδία ἀνόμου ἐκζητεῖ κακά, καρδία δὲ εὐθὴς ἐκζητεῖ γνῶσιν.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
Though thou scourge a fool, disgracing him in the midst of the council, thou wilt still in no wise remove his folly from him.
|
ἐὰν μαστιγοῖς ἄφρονα ἐν μέσῳ συνεδρίου ἀτιμάζων, οὐ μὴ περιέλῃς τὴν ἀφροσύνην αὐτοῦ.
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
Do thou thoroughly know the number of thy flock, and pay attention to thine herds.
|
γνωστῶς ἐπιγνώσῃ ψυχὰς ποιμνίου σου καὶ ἐπιστήσεις καρδίαν σου σαῖς ἀγέλαις·
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
For a man has not strength and power for ever; neither does he transmit it from generation to generation.
|
ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀνδρὶ κράτος καὶ ἰσχύς, οὐδὲ παραδίδωσιν ἐκ γενεᾶς εἰς γενεάν.
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
Take care of the herbage in the field, and thou shalt cut grass, and gather the mountain hay;
|
ἐπιμελοῦ τῶν ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ χλωρῶν καὶ κερεῖς πόαν, καὶ σύναγε χόρτον ὀρεινόν,
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
that thou mayest have wool of sheep for clothing: pay attention to the land, that thou mayest have lambs.
|
ἵνα ἔχῃς πρόβατα εἰς ἱματισμόν· τίμα πεδίον, ἵνα ὦσί σοι ἄρνες.
|
|
27
|

|
|
My son, thou hast from me words very useful for thy life, and for the life of thy servants.
|
υἱέ, παρ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἔχεις ρήσεις ἰσχυρὰς εἰς τὴν ζωήν σου καὶ εἰς τὴν ζωὴν σῶν θεραπόντων.
