Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
|
ΑΚΟΥΣΑΤΕ, παῖδες, παιδείαν πατρὸς καὶ προσέχετε γνῶναι ἔννοιαν·
|
|

|
|
For I give you a good gift; forsake ye not my law.
|
δῶρον γὰρ ἀγαθὸν δωροῦμαι ὑμῖν, τὸν ἐμὸν νόμον μὴ ἐγκαταλίπητε.

For I also was a son obedient to my father, and loved in the sight of my mother:
|
υἱὸς γὰρ ἐγενόμην κἀγὼ πατρὶ ὑπήκοος καὶ ἀγαπώμενος ἐν προσώπῳ μητρός,
|
|

|
|
who spoke and instructed me, saying, Let our speech be fixed in thine heart, keep our commandments, forget them not:
|
οἳ ἐδίδασκόν με καὶ ἔλεγον· ἐρειδέτω ὁ ἡμέτερος λόγος εἰς σὴν καρδίαν· φύλασσε ἐντολάς, μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ
|
|

|

|
|
and do not neglect the speech of my mouth.
|
μηδὲ παρίδῃς ρῆσιν ἐμοῦ στόματος,
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
And forsake it not, and it shall cleave to thee: love it, and it shall keep thee.
|
μηδὲ ἐγκαταλίπῃς αὐτήν, καὶ ἀνθέξεταί σου· ἐράσθητι αὐτῆς, καὶ τηρήσει σε·
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
Secure it, and it shall exalt thee: honour it, that it may embrace thee;
|
περιχαράκωσον αὐτήν, καὶ ὑψώσει σε· τίμησον αὐτήν, ἵνα σε περιλάβῃ,
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
that it may give unto thy head a crown of graces, and may cover thee with a crown of delight.
|
ἵνα δῷ τῇ σῇ κεφαλῇ στέφανον χαρίτων, στεφάνῳ δὲ τρυφῆς ὑπερασπίσῃ σου.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
Hear, my son, and receive my words; and the years of thy life shall be increased, that the resources of thy life may be many.
|
῎Ακουε, υἱέ, καὶ δέξαι ἐμοὺς λόγους, καὶ πληθυνθήσεται ἔτη ζωῆς σου, ἵνα σοι γένωνται πολλαὶ ὁδοὶ βίου·
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
For I teach thee the ways of wisdom; and I cause thee to go in right paths.
|
ὁδοὺς γὰρ σοφίας διδάσκω σε, ἐμβιβάζω δέ σε τροχιαῖς ὀρθαῖς.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
For when thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not be distressed.
|
ἐὰν γὰρ πορεύῃ, οὐ συγκλεισθήσεταί σου τὰ διαβήματα, ἐὰν δὲ τρέχῃς οὐ κοπιάσεις.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
Take hold of my instruction; let it not go,—but keep it for thyself for thy life.
|
ἐπιλαβοῦ ἐμῆς παιδείας, μὴ ἀφῇς, ἀλλὰ φύλαξον αὐτὴν σεαυτῷ εἰς ζωήν σου.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
Go not in the ways of the ungodly, neither covet the ways of transgressors.
|
ὁδοὺς ἀσεβῶν μὴ ἐπέλθῃς, μηδὲ ζηλώσῃς ὁδοὺς παρανόμων·
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
In whatever place they shall pitch their camp, go not thither; but turn from them, and pass away.
|
ἐν ᾧ ἂν τόπῳ στρατοπεδεύσωσι, μὴ ἐπέλθῃς ἐκεῖ, ἔκκλινον δὲ ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν καὶ παράλλαξον.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
For they cannot sleep, unless they have done evil: their sleep is taken away, and they rest not.
|
οὐ γὰρ μὴ ὑπνώσωσιν, ἐὰν μὴ κακοποιήσωσιν, ἀφῄρηται ὁ ὕπνος αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ κοιμῶνται·
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
For these live upon the bread of ungodliness, and are drunken with wine of transgression.
|
οἵδε γὰρ σιτοῦνται σῖτα ἀσεβείας, οἴνῳ δὲ παρανόμῳ μεθύσκονται.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go on and shine, until the day be fully come.
|
αἱ δὲ ὁδοὶ τῶν δικαίων ὁμοίως φωτὶ λάμπουσι, προπορεύονται καὶ φωτίζουσιν, ἕως κατορθώσῃ ἡ ἡμέρα·
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
But the ways of the ungodly are dark; they know not how they stumble.
|
αἱ δὲ ὁδοὶ τῶν ἀσεβῶν σκοτειναί, οὐκ οἴδασι πῶς προσκόπτουσιν.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
My son, attend to my speech; and apply thine ear to my words:
|
Υἱέ, ἐμῇ ρήσει πρόσεχε, τοῖς δὲ ἐμοῖς λόγοις παράβαλλε σὸν οὖς,
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
that thy fountains may not fail thee; keep them in thine heart.
|
ὅπως μὴ ἐκλίπωσί σε αἱ πηγαί σου, φύλασσε αὐτὰς ἐν καρδίᾳ·
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
|
ζωὴ γάρ ἐστι τοῖς εὑρίσκουσιν αὐτὰς καὶ πάσῃ σαρκὶ ἴασις.
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
Keep thine heart with the utmost care; for out of these are the issues of life.
|
πάσῃ φυλακῇ τήρει σὴν καρδίαν, ἐκ γὰρ τούτων ἔξοδοι ζωῆς.
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
Remove from thee a froward mouth, and put far away from thee unjust lips.
|
περίελε σεαυτοῦ σκολιὸν στόμα καὶ ἄδικα χείλη μακρὰν ἀπὸ σοῦ ἄπωσαι.
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids assent to just things.
|
οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ὀρθὰ βλεπέτωσαν, τὰ δὲ βλέφαρά σου νευέτω δίκαια.
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
Make straight paths for thy feet, and order thy ways aright.
|
ὀρθὰς τροχιὰς ποίει σοῖς ποσὶ καὶ τὰς ὁδούς σου κατεύθυνε.
|
|
27
|
27
|
|
Turn not aside to the right hand nor to the left, but turn away thy foot from an evil way:
|
μὴ ἐκκλίνῃς εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ μηδὲ εἰς τὰ ἀριστερά, ἀπόστρεψον δὲ σὸν πόδα ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ κακῆς· ὁδοὺς γὰρ τὰς ἐκ δεξιῶν οἶδεν ὁ Θεός, διεστραμμέναι δέ εἰσιν αἱ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν· αὐτὸς δὲ ὀρθὰς ποιήσει τὰς τροχιάς σου, τὰς δὲ πορείας σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ προάξει.
|
|
28
|
|
|
for God knows the ways on the right hand, but those on the left are crooked:
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
and he will make thy ways straight, and will guide thy steps in peace.
