| 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 |
|
5
|
5
|
| 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
|
| 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. |
|
27a
|
|
| for God knows the ways on the right hand, but those on the left are crooked: | |
|
27b
|
|
| and he will make thy ways straight, and will guide thy steps in peace. |
