My son, if thou come to serve the Lord God, prepare thy soul for temptation.
|
ΠΑΣΑ σοφία παρὰ Κυρίου καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
|

|
|
Set thy heart aright, and constantly endure, and make not haste in time of trouble.
|
ἄμμον θαλασσῶν καὶ σταγόνας ὑετοῦ καὶ ἡμέρας αἰῶνος τίς ἐξαριθμήσει;
|
|
3
|
3
|
|
Cleave unto him, and depart not away, that thou mayest be increased at thy last end.
|
ὕψος οὐρανοῦ καὶ πλάτος γῆς καὶ ἄβυσσον καὶ σοφίαν τίς ἐξιχνιάσει;
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
Whatsoever is brought upon thee take cheerfully, and be patient when thou art changed to a low estate.
|
προτέρα πάντων ἔκτισται σοφία καὶ σύνεσις φρονήσεως ἐξ αἰῶνος [
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity.
|
πηγὴ σοφίας λόγος Θεοῦ ἐν ὑψίστοις, καὶ αἱ πορεῖαι αὐτῆς ἐντολαὶ αἰώνιοι].
|
|

|

|
|
Believe in him, and he will help thee; order thy way aright, and trust in him.
|
ρίζα σοφίας τίνι ἀπεκαλύφθη; καὶ τὰ πανουργεύματα αὐτῆς τίς ἔγνω; [
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
Ye that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy; and go not aside, lest ye fall.
|
ἐπιστήμη σοφίας τίνι ἐφανερώθη; καὶ τὴν πολυπειρίαν αὐτῆς τίς συνῆκε;]
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
Ye that fear the Lord, believe him; and your reward shall not fail.
|
εἷς ἐστι σοφὸς φοβερὸς σφόδρα καθήμενος ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
Ye that fear the Lord, hope for good, and for everlasting joy and mercy.
|
Κύριος αὐτὸς ἔκτισεν αὐτὴν καὶ εἶδε καὶ ἐξηρίθμησεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐξέχεεν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ,
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? or did any abide in his fear, and was forsaken? or whom did he ever despise, that called upon him?
|
μετὰ πάσης σαρκὸς κατὰ τὴν δόσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐχορήγησεν αὐτὴν τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν αὐτόν.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
For the Lord is full of compassion and mercy, longsuffering, and very pitiful, and forgiveth sins, and saveth in time of affliction.
|
φόβος Κυρίου δόξα καὶ καύχημα καὶ εὐφροσύνη καὶ στέφανος ἀγαλλιάματος.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
Woe be to fearful hearts, and faint hands, and the sinner that goeth two ways!
|
φόβος Κυρίου τέρψει καρδίαν καὶ δώσει εὐφροσύνην καὶ χαρὰν καὶ μακροημέρευσιν.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
Woe unto him that is fainthearted! for he believeth not; therefore shall he not be defended.
|
τῷ φοβουμένῳ τὸν Κύριον εὖ ἔσται ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτων, καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τελευτῆς αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει χάριν.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
Woe unto you that have lost patience! and what will ye do when the Lord shall visit you?
|
ἀρχὴ σοφίας φοβεῖσθαι τὸν Κύριον, καὶ μετὰ πιστῶν ἐν μήτρᾳ συνεκτίσθη αὐτοῖς.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
They that fear the Lord will not disobey his word; and they that love him will keep his ways.
|
μετὰ ἀνθρώπων θεμέλιον αἰῶνος ἐνόσσευσε καὶ μετὰ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτῶν ἐμπιστευθήσεται.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
They that fear the Lord will seek that which is wellpleasing unto him; and they that love him shall be filled with the law.
|
πλησμονὴ σοφίας φοβεῖσθαι τὸν Κύριον καὶ μεθύσκει αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῆς·
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
They that fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and humble their souls in his sight,
|
πάντα τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς ἐμπλήσει ἐπιθυμημάτων καὶ τὰ ἀποδοχεῖα ἀπὸ τῶν γεννημάτων αὐτῆς.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
saying, We will fall into the hands of the Lord, and not into the hands of men: for as his majesty is, so is his mercy.
|
στέφανος σοφίας φόβος Κυρίου ἀναθάλλων εἰρήνην καὶ ὑγίειαν ἰάσεως.
