|
| Watching for riches consumeth the flesh, and the care thereof driveth away sleep. | Τῼ φοβουμένῳ Κύριον οὐκ ἀπαντήσει κακόν, ἀλλ᾿ ἐν πειρασμῷ καὶ πάλιν ἐξελεῖται. |
|
2
|
2
|
| Watching care will not let a man slumber, as a sore disease breaketh sleep. | ἀνὴρ σοφὸς οὐ μισήσει νόμον, ὁ δὲ ὑποκρινόμενος ἐν αὐτῷ, ὡς ἐν καταιγίδι πλοῖον. |
|

|
| The rich hath great labour in gathering riches together; and when he resteth, he is filled with his delicacies. | ἄνθρωπος συνετὸς ἐμπιστεύσει νόμῳ, καὶ ὁ νόμος αὐτῷ πιστὸς ὡς ἐρώτημα δήλων. |
|

|
| The poor laboureth in his poor estate; and when he leaveth off, he is still needy. | ἑτοίμασον λόγον καὶ οὕτως ἀκουσθήσῃ, σύνδησον παιδείαν καὶ ἀποκρίθητι. |
|

|
| He that loveth gold shall not be justified, and he that followeth corruption shall have enough thereof. | τροχὸς ἁμάξης σπλάγχνα μωροῦ, καὶ ὡς ἄξων στρεφόμενος ὁ διαλογισμὸς αὐτοῦ. |
|
6
|
6
|
| Gold hath been the ruin of many, and their destruction was present. | ἵππος εἰς ὀχείαν ὡς φίλος μωκός, ὑποκάτω παντὸς ἐπικαθημένου χρεμετίζει. |
|

|
7
|
| It is a stumblingblock unto them that sacrifice unto it, and every fool shall be taken therewith. | Διατί ἡμέρα ἡμέρας ὑπερέχει, καὶ πᾶν φῶς ἡμέρας ἐνιαυτοῦ ἀφ᾿ ἡλίου; |
|
8
|
8
|
| Blessed is the rich that is found without blemish, and hath not gone after gold. | ἐν γνώσει Κυρίου διεχωρίσθησαν, καὶ ἠλλοίωσε καιροὺς καὶ ἑορτάς· |
|
9
|
9
|
| Who is he? and we will call him blessed: for wonderful things hath he done among his people. | ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν ἀνύψωσε καὶ ἡγίασε καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἔθηκεν εἰς ἀριθμὸν ἡμερῶν. |
|
10
|
10
|
| Who hath been tried thereby, and found perfect? then let him glory. Who might offend, and hath not offended? or done evil, and hath not done it? | καὶ ἄνθρωποι πάντες ἀπὸ ἐδάφους, καὶ ἐκ γῆς ἐκτίσθη ᾿Αδάμ. |
|
11
|
11
|
| His goods shall be established, and the congregation shall declare his alms. | ἐν πλήθει ἐπιστήμης Κύριος διεχώρισεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἠλλοίωσε τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν. |
|
12
|
12
|
| If thou sit at a bountiful table, be not greedy upon it, and say not, There is much meat on it. | ἐξ αὐτῶν εὐλόγησε καὶ ἀνύψωσε καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἡγίασε, καὶ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἤγγισεν· ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν κατηράσατο καὶ ἐταπείνωσε καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ στάσεως αὐτῶν. |
|
13
|
13
|
| Remember that a wicked eye is an evil thing: and what is created more wicked than an eye? therefore it weepeth upon every occasion. | ὡς πηλὸς κεραμέως ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ —πᾶσαι αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτοῦ κατὰ τὴν εὐδοκίαν αὐτοῦ—, οὕτως ἄνθρωποι ἐν χειρὶ τοῦ ποιήσαντος αὐτοὺς ἀποδοῦναι αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν αὐτοῦ. |
|
14
|
14
|
| Stretch not thine hand whithersoever it looketh, and thrust it not with him into the dish. | ἀπέναντι τοῦ κακοῦ τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ ἀπέναντι τοῦ θανάτου ἡ ζωή· οὕτως ἀπέναντι εὐσεβοῦς ἁμαρτωλός. |
|
15
|
15
|
| Judge of thy neighbour by thyself: and be discreet in every point. | καὶ οὕτως ἔμβλεψον εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔργα τοῦ ῾Υψίστου, δύο δύο, ἓν κατέναντι τοῦ ἑνός. |
|
16
|
16
|
| Eat, as it becometh a man, those things which are set before thee; and devour not, lest thou be hated. | Κἀγὼ ἔσχατος ἠγρύπνησα ὡς καλαμώμενος ὀπίσω τρυγητῶν· |
|
17
|
17
|
| Leave off first for manners' sake; and be not unsatiable, lest thou offend. | ἐν εὐλογίᾳ Κυρίου ἔφθασα καὶ ὡς τρυγῶν ἐπλήρωσα ληνόν. |
|
18
|
18
|
| When thou sittest among many, reach not thine hand out first of all. | κατανοήσατε ὅτι οὐκ ἐμοὶ μόνῳ ἐκοπίασα, ἀλλὰ πᾶσι τοῖς ζητοῦσι παιδείαν. |
|
19
|
19
|
| A very little is sufficient for a man well nurtured, and he fetcheth not his wind short upon his bed. | ἀκούσατέ μου, μεγιστάνες λαοῦ, καὶ οἱ ἡγούμενοι ἐκκλησίας, ἐνωτίσασθε· |
|
20
|
20
|
| Sound sleep cometh of moderate eating: he riseth early, and his wits are with him: but the pain of watching, and choler, and pangs of the belly, are with an unsatiable man. | υἱῷ καὶ γυναικί, ἀδελφῷ καὶ φίλῳ μὴ δῷς ἐξουσίαν ἐπὶ σὲ ἐν ζωῇ σου· καὶ μὴ δῷς ἑτέρῳ τὰ χρήματά σου, ἵνα μὴ μεταμεληθεὶς δέῃ περὶ αὐτῶν. |
|
21
|
21
|
| And if thou hast been forced to eat, arise, go forth, vomit, and thou shalt have rest. | ἕως ἔτι ζῇς καὶ πνοὴ ἐν σοί, μὴ ἀλλάξῃς σεαυτὸν πάσῃ σαρκί. |
|
22
|
22
|
| My son, hear me, and despise me not, and at the last thou shalt find as I told thee: in all thy works be quick, so shall there no sickness come unto thee. | κρείσσων γάρ ἐστι τὰ τέκνα δεηθῆναί σου ἢ σὲ ἐμβλέπειν εἰς χεῖρας υἱῶν σου. |
|
23
|
23
|
| Whoso is liberal of his meat, men shall speak well of him; and the report of his good housekeeping will be believed. | ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις σου γίνου ὑπεράγων, μὴ δῷς μῶμον ἐν τῇ δόξῃ σου. |
|
24
|
24
|
| But against him that is a niggard of his meat the whole city shall murmur; and the testimonies of his niggardness shall not be doubted of. | ἐν ἡμέρᾳ συντελείας ἡμερῶν ζωῆς σου καὶ ἐν καιρῷ τελευτῆς διάδος κληρονομίαν. ΠΕΡΙ ΔΟΥΛΩΝ.— |
|
25
|
25
|
| Shew not thy valiantness in wine; for wine hath destroyed many. | Χορτάσματα καὶ ράβδος καὶ φορτία ὄνῳ, ἄρτος καὶ παιδεία καὶ ἔργον οἰκέτῃ. |
|
26
|
26
|
| The furnace proveth the edge by dipping: so doth wine the hearts of the proud by drunkenness. | ἔργασαι ἐν παιδί, καὶ εὑρήσεις ἀνάπαυσιν· ἄνες χεῖρας αὐτῷ, καὶ ζητήσει ἐλευθερίαν. |
|
27
|
27
|
| Wine is as good as life to a man, if it be drunk moderately: what life is then to a man that is without wine? for it was made to make men glad. | ζυγὸς καὶ ἱμὰς κάμψουσι τράχηλον, καὶ οἰκέτῃ κακούργῳ στρέβλαι καὶ βάσανοι. |
|
28
|
28
|
| Wine measurably drunk and in season bringeth gladness of the heart, and cheerfulness of the mind: | ἔμβαλε αὐτὸν εἰς ἐργασίαν. ἵνα μὴ ἀργῇ, πολλὴν γὰρ κακίαν ἐδίδαξεν ἡ ἀργία. |
|
29
|
29
|
| but wine drunken with excess maketh bitterness of the mind, with brawling and quarrelling. | εἰς ἔργα κατάστησον, καθὼς πρέπει αὐτῷ, κἂν μὴ πειθαρχῇ, βάρυνον τὰς πέδας αὐτοῦ. |
|
30
|
30
|
| Drunkenness increaseth the rage of a fool till he offend: it diminisheth strength, and maketh wounds. | καὶ μὴ περισσεύσῃς ἐν πάσῃ σαρκί, καὶ ἄνευ κρίσεως μὴ ποιήσῃς μηδέν. |
|
31
|
31
|
| Rebuke not thy neighbour at the wine, and despise him not in his mirth: give him no despiteful words, and press not upon him with urging him to drink. | εἰ ἔστι σοι οἰκέτης, ἔστω ὡς σύ, ὅτι ἐν αἵματι ἐκτήσω αὐτόν. |
