Κεφάλαιο 22

|
| A slothful man is compared to a filthy stone, and every one will hiss him out to his disgrace. | ΤΕΚΝΟΝ, ἥμαρτες, μὴ προσθῇς μηκέτι καὶ περὶ τῶν προτέρων σου δεήθητι. |
|
2
|
2
|
| A slothful man is compared to the filth of a dunghill: every man that takes it up will shake his hand. | ὡς ἀπὸ προσώπου ὄφεως φεῦγε ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας, ἐὰν γὰρ προσέλθῃς, δήξεταί σε· ὀδόντες λέοντος οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτῆς ἀναιροῦντες ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων. |

|
| An evil-nurtured son is the dishonour of his father that begat him: and a foolish daughter is born to his loss. | ὡς ρομφαία δίστομος πᾶσα ἀνομία, τῇ πληγῇ αὐτῆς οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις. |
|

|

|
| A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but she that liveth dishonestly is her father's heaviness. | καταπληγμὸς καὶ ὕβρις ἐρημώσουσι πλοῦτον· οὕτως οἶκος ὑπερηφάνου ἐρημωθήσεται. |
|
5
|

|
| She that is bold dishonoureth both her father and her husband, and they both shall despise her. | δέησις πτωχοῦ ἐκ στόματος ἕως ὠτίων αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ κρίμα αὐτοῦ κατὰ σπουδὴν ἔρχεται. |
|

|
| A tale out of season is as music in mourning: but stripes and correction of wisdom are never out of time. | μισῶν ἐλεγμὸν ἐν ἴχνει ἁμαρτωλοῦ, καὶ ὁ φοβούμενος Κύριον ἐπιστρέψει ἐν καρδίᾳ. |
|

|
| Whoso teacheth a fool is as one that glueth a potsherd together, and as he that waketh one from a sound sleep. | στυππεῖον συνηγμένον συναγωγὴ ἀνόμων, καὶ ἡ συντέλεια αὐτῶν φλὸξ πυρός. |
|
10
|
10
|
| He that telleth a tale to a fool speaketh to one in a slumber: when he hath told his tale, he will say, What is the matter? | ὁδὸς ἁμαρτωλῶν ὡμαλισμένη ἐκ λίθων, καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτῳ αὐτῆς βόθρος ᾅδου. |
|
11
|
11
|
| Weep for the dead, for he hath lost the light: and weep for the fool, for he wanteth understanding: make little weeping for the dead, for he is at rest: but the life of the fool is worse than death. | ῾Ο φυλάσσων νόμον κατακρατεῖ τοῦ ἐννοήματος αὐτοῦ, καὶ συντέλεια τοῦ φόβου Κυρίου σοφία. |
|
12
|
12
|
| Seven days do men mourn for him that is dead; but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of his life. | οὐ παιδευθήσεται ὃς οὐκ ἔστι πανοῦργος· ἔστι πανουργία πληθύνουσα πικρίαν. |
|
13
|
13
|
| Talk not much with a fool, and go not to him that hath no understanding: beware of him, lest thou have trouble, and thou shalt never be defiled with his fooleries: depart from him, and thou shalt find rest, and never be disquieted with madness. | γνῶσις σοφοῦ ὡς κατακλυσμὸς πληθυνθήσεται καὶ ἡ βουλὴ αὐτοῦ ὡς πηγὴ ζωῆς. |
|
14
|
14
|
| What is heavier than lead? and what is the name thereof, but a fool? | ἔγκατα μωροῦ ὡς ἀγγεῖον συντετριμμένον καὶ πᾶσαν γνῶσιν οὐ κρατήσει. |
|
15
|
15
|
| Sand, and salt, and a mass of iron, are easier to bear, than a man without understanding. | λόγον σοφὸν ἐὰν ἀκούσῃ ἐπιστήμων, αἰνέσει αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν προσθήσει· ἤκουσεν ὁ σπαταλῶν καὶ ἀπήρεσεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν αὐτὸν ὀπίσω τοῦ νώτου αὐτοῦ. |
|
16
|
16
|
| As timber girt and bound together in a building cannot be loosed with shaking: so the heart that is stablished by advised counsel shall fear at no time. | ἐξήγησις μωροῦ ὡς ἐν ὁδῷ φορτίον, ἐπὶ δὲ χείλους συνετοῦ εὑρεθήσεται χάρις. |
|
17
|
17
|
| A heart settled upon a thought of understanding is as a fair plaistering on the wall of a gallery. | στόμα φρονίμου ζητηθήσεται ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ, καὶ τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ διανοηθήσονται ἐν καρδίᾳ. |
|
18
|
18
|
| Pales set on an high place will never stand against the wind: so a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool cannot stand against any fear. | ὡς οἶκος ἠφανισμένος οὕτως μωρῷ σοφία, καὶ γνῶσις ἀσυνέτου ἀδιεξέταστοι λόγοι. |
|
19
|
19
|
| He that pricketh the eye will make tears to fall: and he that pricketh the heart maketh it to shew her knowledge. | πέδαι ἐν ποσὶν ἀνοήτοις παιδεία καὶ ὡς χειροπέδαι ἐπὶ χειρὸς δεξιᾶς. |
|
20
|
20
|
| Whoso casteth a stone at the birds frayeth them away: and he that upbraideth his friend breaketh friendship. | μωρὸς ἐν γέλωτι ἀνυψοῖ φωνὴν αὐτοῦ, ἀνὴρ δὲ πανοῦργος μόλις ἡσυχῇ μειδιάσει. |
|
21
|
21
|
| Though thou drewest a sword at thy friend, yet despair not: for there may be a returning to favour. | ὡς κόσμος χρυσοῦ φρονίμῳ παιδεία καὶ ὡς χλιδὼν ἐπὶ βραχίονι δεξιῷ. |
|
22
|
22
|
| If thou hast opened thy mouth against thy friend, fear not; for there may be a reconciliation: except for upbraiding, or pride, or disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for for these things every friend will depart. | ποὺς μωροῦ ταχὺς εἰς οἰκίαν, ἄνθρωπος δὲ πολύπειρος αἰσχυνθήσεται ἀπὸ προσώπου. |
|
23
|
23
|
| Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou mayest rejoice in his prosperity: abide steadfast unto him in the time of his trouble, that thou mayest be heir with him in his heritage. | ἄφρων ἀπὸ θύρας παρακύπτει εἰς οἰκίαν, ἀνὴρ δὲ πεπαιδευμένος ἔξω στήσεται. |
|
24
|
24
|
| As the vapour and smoke of a furnace goeth before the fire; so reviling before blood. | ἀπαιδευσία ἀνθρώπου ἀκροᾶσθαι παρὰ θύραν, ὁ δὲ φρόνιμος βαρυνθήσεται ἀτιμίᾳ. |
|
25
|
25
|
| I will not be ashamed to defend a friend; neither will I hide myself from him; | χείλη ἀλλοτρίων ἐν τούτοις βαρυνθήσεται, λόγοι δὲ φρονίμων ἐν ζυγῷ σταθήσονται. |
|
26
|
26
|
| and if any evil happen unto me by him, every one that heareth it will beware of him. | ἐν στόματι μωρῶν ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν, καρδία δὲ σοφῶν στόμα αὐτῶν. |
|
27
|
27
|
| Who shall set a watch before my mouth, and a seal of wisdom upon my lips, that I fall not suddenly by them, and that my tongue destroy me not? | ἐν τῷ καταρᾶσθαι ἀσεβῆ τὸν σατανᾶν αὐτὸς καταρᾶται τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν. |
