Κεφάλαιο 24

|
| Wisdom shall praise herself, and shall glory in the midst of her people. | ΚΥΡΙΕ, πάτερ καὶ δέσποτα ζωῆς μου, μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με ἐν βουλῇ αὐτῶν, μὴ ἀφῇς με πεσεῖν ἐν αὐτοῖς. |
|

|

|
| In the congregation of the most High shall she open her mouth, and triumph before his power. | τίς ἐπιστήσει ἐπὶ τοῦ διανοήματός μου μάστιγας καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς καρδίας μου παιδείαν σοφίας, ἵνα ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀγνοήμασί μου μὴ φείσωνται καὶ οὐ μὴ παρῇ τὰ ἁμαρτήματα αὐτῶν, |
|

|
| I came out of the mouth of the most High, and covered the earth as a cloud. | ὅπως μὴ πληθύνωσιν αἱ ἄγνοιαί μου καὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι μου πλεονάσωσι καὶ πεσοῦμαι ἔναντι τῶν ὑπεναντίων καὶ ἐπιχαρεῖταί μοι ὁ ἐχθρός μου; |
|

|

|
| I dwelt in high places, and my throne is in a cloudy pillar. | Κύριε, πάτερ καὶ Θεὲ ζωῆς μου, μετεωρισμὸν ὀφθαλμῶν μὴ δῷς μοι |
|

|
| I alone compassed the circuit of heaven, and walked in the bottom of the deep. | καὶ ἐπιθυμίαν ἀπόστρεψον ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ· |
|
6
|
6
|
| In the waves of the sea, and in all the earth, and in every people and nation, I got a possession. | κοιλίας ὄρεξις καὶ συνουσιασμὸς μὴ καταλαβέτωσάν με, καὶ ψυχῇ ἀναιδεῖ μὴ παραδῷς με. ΠΑΙΔΕΙΑ ΣΤΟΜΑΤΟΣ.— |
|
7
|
7
|
| With all these I sought rest: and in whose inheritance shall I abide? | Παιδείαν στόματος ἀκούσατε, τέκνα, καὶ ὁ φυλάσσων οὐ μὴ ἁλῷ. |
|
8
|
8
|
| So the Creator of all things gave me a commandment, and he that made me caused my tabernacle to rest, and said, Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thine inheritance in Israel. | ἐν τοῖς χείλεσιν αὐτοῦ καταληφθήσεται ἁμαρτωλός, καὶ λοίδορος καὶ ὑπερήφανος σκανδαλισθήσονται ἐν αὐτοῖς. |
|

|

|
| He created me from the beginning before the world, and I shall never fail. | ὅρκῳ μὴ ἐθίσῃς τὸ στόμα σου καὶ ὀνομασίᾳ τοῦ ἁγίου μὴ συνεθισθῇς· |
|
10
|
10
|
| In the holy tabernacle I served before him; and so was I established in Sion. | ὥσπερ γὰρ οἰκέτης ἐξεταζόμενος ἐνδελεχῶς ἀπὸ μώλωπος οὐκ ἐλαττωθήσεται, οὕτως καὶ ὁ ὀμνύων καὶ ὀνομάζων διαπαντὸς ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας οὐ μὴ καθαρισθῇ. |
|
11
|
11
|
| Likewise in the beloved city he gave me rest, and in Jerusalem was my power. | ἀνὴρ πολύορκος πλησθήσεται ἀνομίας, καὶ οὐκ ἀποστήσεται ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ μάστιξ· ἐὰν πλημμελήσῃ, ἁμαρτία αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ, κἂν ὑπερίδῃ, ἥμαρτε δισσῶς· καὶ εἰ διακενῆς ὤμοσεν, οὐ δικαιωθήσεται, πλησθήσεται γὰρ ἐπαγωγῶν ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ.— |
|
12
|
12
|
| And I took root in an honourable people, even in the portion of the Lord's inheritance. | ῎Εστι λέξις ἀντιπεριβεβλημένη θανάτῳ, μὴ εὑρεθήτω ἐν κληρονομίᾳ ᾿Ιακώβ· ἀπὸ γὰρ εὐσεβῶν ταῦτα πάντα ἀποστήσεται, καὶ ἐν ἁμαρτίαις οὐκ ἐγκυλισθήσονται. |
|
13
|
13
|
| I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree upon the mountains of Hermon. | ἀπαιδευσίαν ἀσυρῆ μὴ συνεθίσῃς τὸ στόμα σου, ἔστι γὰρ ἐν αὐτῇ λόγος ἁμαρτίας. |
|
14
|
14
|
| I was exalted like a palm tree on the sea shore, and as a rose plant in Jericho, as a fair olive tree in a plain, and grew up as a plane tree. | μνήσθητι πατρὸς καὶ μητρός σου, ἀνὰ μέσον γὰρ μεγιστάνων συνεδρεύεις· μήποτ᾿ ἐπιλάθῃ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν καὶ τῷ ἐθισμῷ σου μωρανθῇς καὶ θελήσεις εἰ μὴ ἐγεννήθης καὶ τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ τοκετοῦ σου καταράσῃ. |
|
15
|
15
|
| I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, and I yielded a pleasant odour like the best myrrh, as galbanum, and onyx, and sweet storax, and as the fume of frankincense in the tabernacle. | ἄνθρωπος συνεθιζόμενος λόγοις ὀνειδισμοῦ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ παιδευθῇ. |
|
16
|
16
|
| As the turpentine tree I stretched out my branches, and my branches are the branches of honour and grace. | Δύο εἴδη πληθύνουσιν ἁμαρτίας, καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐπάξει ὀργήν· |
|
17
|
17
|
| As the vine brought I forth pleasant savour, and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches. | ψυχὴ θερμὴ ὡς πῦρ καιόμενον, οὐ μὴ σβεσθῇ ἕως ἂν καταποθῇ· ἄνθρωπος πόρνος ἐν σώματι σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ παύσηται ἕως ἂν ἐκκαύσῃ πῦρ· ἀνθρώπω πόρνῳ πᾶς ἄρτος ἡδύς, οὐ μὴ κοπάσῃ ἕως ἂν τελευτήσῃ. |
|
19
|
19
|
| Come unto me, all ye that be desirous of me, and fill yourselves with my fruits. | καὶ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἀνθρώπων ὁ φόβος αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω ὅτι ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου μυριοπλασίως ἡλίου φωτεινότεροι, ἐπιβλέποντες πάσας ὁδοὺς ἀνθρώπων καὶ κατανοοῦντες εἰς ἀπόκρυφα μέρη. |
|

|
| For my memorial is sweeter than honey, and mine inheritance than the honeycomb. | πρὶν ἢ κτισθῆναι τὰ πάντα, ἔγνωσται αὐτῷ, οὕτως καὶ μετὰ τὸ συντελεσθῆναι. |
|
21
|
21
|
| They that eat me shall yet be hungry, and they that drink me shall yet be thirsty. | οὗτος ἐν πλατείαις πόλεως ἐκδικηθήσεται, καὶ οὗ οὐχ ὑπενόησεν πιασθήσεται.— |
|
22
|
22
|
| He that obeyeth me shall never be confounded, and they that work by me shall not do amiss. | Οὕτως καὶ γυνὴ καταλιποῦσα τὸν ἄνδρα καὶ παριστῶσα κληρονόμον ἐξ ἀλλοτρίου· |
|
23
|
23
|
| All these things are the book of the covenant of the most high God, even the law which Moses commanded for an heritage unto the congregations of Jacob. | πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ ἐν νόμῳ ῾Υψίστου ἠπείθησε, καὶ δεύτερον εἰς ἄνδρα ἑαυτῆς ἐπλημμέλησε, καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν πορνείᾳ ἐμοιχεύθη, ἐξ ἀλλοτρίου ἀνδρὸς τέκνα παρέστησεν. |
|
25
|
25
|
| He filleth all things with his wisdom, as Phison and as Tigris in the time of the new fruits. | οὐ διαδώσουσι τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς εἰς ρίζαν, καὶ οἱ κλάδοι αὐτῆς οὐ δώσουσι καρπόν. |
|
26
|
26
|
| He maketh the understanding to abound like Euphrates, and as Jordan in the time of the harvest. | καταλείψει εἰς κατάραν τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ ὄνειδος αὐτῆς οὐκ ἐξαλειφθήσεται. |
|
27
|
27
|
| He maketh the doctrine of knowledge appear as the light, and as Geon in the time of vintage. | καὶ ἐπιγνώσονται οἱ καταλειφθέντες ὅτι οὐθὲν κρεῖττον φόβου Κυρίου καὶ οὐθὲν γλυκύτερον τοῦ προσέχειν ἐντολαῖς Κυρίου. |
|
28
|
|
| The first man knew her not perfectly: no more shall the last find her out. | |
|
29
|
|
| For her thoughts are more than the sea, and her counsels profounder than the great deep. | |
|
30
|
|
| I also came out as a brook from a river, and as a conduit into a garden. | |
|
31
|
|
| I said, I will water my best garden, and will water abundantly my garden bed: and, lo, my brook became a river, and my river became a sea. | |
|
32
|
|
| I will yet make doctrine to shine as the morning, and will send forth her light afar off. | |
|
33
|
|
| I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, and leave it to all ages for ever. | |
|
34
|
|
| Behold that I have not laboured for myself only, but for all them that seek wisdom. |
