Κεφάλαιο 29

|
| He that is merciful will lend unto his neighbour; and he that strengtheneth his hand keepeth the commandments. | Ο ΕΚΔΙΚΩΝ παρὰ Κυρίου εὑρήσει ἐκδίκησιν, καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ διατηρῶν διατηρήσει. |
|
2
|
2
|
| Lend to thy neighbour in time of his need, and pay thou thy neighbour again in due season. | ἄφες ἀδίκημα τῷ πλησίον σου, καὶ τότε δεηθέντος σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου λυθήσονται. |
|

|
| Keep thy word, and deal faithfully with him, and thou shalt always find the thing that is necessary for thee. | ἄνθρωπος ἀνθρώπῳ συντηρεῖ ὀργήν, καὶ παρὰ Κυρίου ζητεῖ ἴασιν; |
|

|

|
| Many, when a thing was lent them, reckoned it to be found, and put them to trouble that helped them. | ἐπ᾿ ἄνθρωπον ὅμοιον αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔχει ἔλεος, καὶ περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτοῦ δεῖται; |
|
5
|

|
| Till he hath received, he will kiss a man's hand; and for his neighbour's money he will speak submissively: but when he should repay, he will prolong the time, and return words of grief, and complain of the time. | αὐτὸς σὰρξ ὢν διατηρεῖ μῆνιν, τίς ἐξιλάσεται τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ; |
|
6
|
6
|
| If he prevail, he shall hardly receive the half, and he will count as if he had found it: if not, he hath deprived him of his money, and he hath gotten him an enemy without cause: he payeth him with cursings and railings; and for honour he will pay him disgrace. | μνήσθητι τὰ ἔσχατα καὶ παῦσαι ἐχθραίνων, καταφθορὰν καὶ θάνατον, καὶ ἔμμενε ἐντολαῖς. |
|
7
|

|
| Many therefore have refused to lend for other men's ill dealing, fearing to be defrauded. | μνήσθητι ἐντολῶν καὶ μὴ μηνίσῃς τῷ πλησίον, καὶ διαθήκην ῾Υψίστου καὶ πάριδε ἄγνοιαν. |
|

|

|
| Yet have thou patience with a man in poor estate, and delay not to shew him mercy. | ἀπόσχου ἀπὸ μάχης, καὶ ἐλαττώσεις ἁμαρτίας· ἄνθρωπος γὰρ θυμώδης ἐκκαύσει μάχην, |
|
9
|
9
|
| Help the poor for the commandment's sake, and turn him not away because of his poverty. | καὶ ἀνὴρ ἁμαρτωλὸς ταράξει φίλους καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον εἰρηνευόντων ἐμβάλλει διαβολήν. |
|
10
|
10
|
| Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend, and let it not rust under a stone to be lost. | κατὰ τὴν ὕλην τοῦ πυρὸς οὕτως ἐκκαυθήσεται, καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἰσχὺν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ ἔσται, καὶ κατὰ τὸν πλοῦτον ἀνυψώσει ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατὰ τὴν στερέωσιν τῆς μάχης ἐκκαυθήσεται. |
|
11
|
11
|
| Lay up thy treasure according to the commandments of the most High, and it shall bring thee more profit than gold. | ἔρις κατασπευδομένη ἐκκαίει πῦρ, καὶ μάχη κατασπεύδουσα ἐκχέει αἷμα. |
|
12
|
12
|
| Shut up alms in thy storehouses: and it shall deliver thee from all affliction. | ἐὰν φυσήσῃς εἰς σπινθῆρα, ἐκκαήσεται, καὶ ἐὰν πτύσῃς ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, σβεσθήσεται· καὶ ἀμφότερα ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου ἐκπορεύεται. |
|
13
|
13
|
| It shall fight for thee against thine enemies better than a mighty shield and strong spear. | Ψίθυρον καὶ δίγλωσσον καταράσασθε, πολλοὺς γὰρ εἰρηνεύοντας ἀπώλεσαν. |
|
14
|
14
|
| An honest man is surety for his neighbour: but he that is impudent will forsake him. | γλῶσσα τρίτη πολλοὺς ἐσάλευσε καὶ διέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ ἔθνους εἰς ἔθνος καὶ πόλεις ὀχυρὰς καθεῖλε καὶ οἰκίας μεγιστάνων κατέστρεψε. |
|
15
|
15
|
| Forget not the friendship of thy surety, for he hath given his life for thee. | γλῶσσα τρίτη γυναῖκας ἀνδρείας ἐξέβαλε καὶ ἐστέρησεν αὐτὰς τῶν πόνων αὐτῶν. |
|
16
|
16
|
| A sinner will overthrow the good estate of his surety: | ὁ προσέχων αὐτῇ οὐ μὴ εὕρῃ ἀνάπαυσιν, οὐδὲ κατασκηνώσει μεθ᾿ ἡσυχίας. |
|
17
|
17
|
| and he that is of an unthankful mind will leave him in danger that delivered him. | πληγὴ μάστιγος ποιεῖ μώλωπας, πληγὴ δὲ γλώσσης συγκλάσει ὀστᾶ. |
|
18
|
18
|
| Suretyship hath undone many of good estate, and shaken them as a wave of the sea: mighty men hath it driven from their houses, so that they wandered among strange nations. | πολλοὶ ἔπεσαν ἐν στόματι μαχαίρας, καὶ οὐχ ὡς οἱ πεπτωκότες διὰ γλῶσσαν. |
|
19
|
19
|
| A wicked man transgressing the commandments of the Lord shall fall into suretyship: and he that undertaketh and followeth other men's business for gain shall fall into suits. | μακάριος ὁ σκεπασθεὶς ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς, ὃς οὐ διῆλθεν ἐν τῷ θυμῷ αὐτῆς, ὃς οὐχ εἵλκυσε τὸν ζυγὸν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς αὐτῆς οὐκ ἐδέθη· |
|
20
|
20
|
| Help thy neighbour according to thy power, and beware that thou thyself fall not into the same. | ὁ γὰρ ζυγὸς αὐτῆς ζυγὸς σιδηροῦς, καὶ οἱ δεσμοὶ αὐτῆς δεσμοὶ χάλκεοι. |
|
21
|
21
|
| The chief thing for life is water, and bread, and clothing, and a house to cover shame. | θάνατος πονηρὸς ὁ θάνατος αὐτῆς, καὶ λυσιτελὴς μᾶλλον ὁ ᾅδης αὐτῆς. 22οὐ μὴ κρατήσει εὐσεβῶν, καὶ ἐν τῇ φλογὶ αὐτῆς οὐ καήσονται. |
|
22
|
|
| Better is the life of a poor man in a mean cottage, than delicate fare in another man's house. | |
|
23
|
23
|
| Be it little or much, hold thee contented, | οἱ καταλείποντες Κύριον ἐμπεσοῦνται εἰς αὐτήν, καὶ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐκκαήσεται καὶ οὐ μὴ σβεσθῇ· ἐξαποσταλήσεται ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς ὡς λέων, καὶ ὡς πάρδαλις λυμανεῖται αὐτούς. |
|
24
|
24
|
| for it is a miserable life to go from house to house: for where thou art a stranger, thou darest not open thy mouth. | ἴδε περίφραξον τὸ κτῆμά σου ἀκάνθαις, τὸ ἀργύριόν σου καὶ τὸ χρυσίον κατάδησον· |
|
25
|
25
|
| Thou shalt entertain, and feast, and have no thanks: moreover thou shalt hear bitter words: | καὶ τοῖς λόγοις σου ποίησον ζυγὸν καὶ σταθμόν, καὶ τῷ στόματί σου ποίησον θύραν καὶ μοχλόν. |
|
26
|
26
|
| Come, thou stranger, and furnish a table, and feed me of that thou hast ready. | πρόσεχε μήπως ὀλισθήσῃς ἐν αὐτῇ, μὴ πέσῃς κατέναντι ἐνεδρεύοντος. |
|
27
|
|
| Give place, thou stranger, to an honourable man; my brother cometh to be lodged, and I have need of mine house. | |
|
28
|
|
| These things are grievous to a man of understanding; the upbraiding of houseroom, and reproaching of the lender. |
