If thou be made the master of a feast, lift not thyself up, but be among them as one of the rest; take diligent care for them, and so sit down.
|
ΚΕΝΑΙ ἐλπίδες καὶ ψευδεῖς ἀσυνέτῳ ἀνδρί, καὶ ἐνύπνια ἀναπτεροῦσιν ἄφρονας.
|
|

|
|
And when thou hast done all thy office, take thy place, that thou mayest be merry with them, and receive a crown for thy well ordering of the feast.
|
ὡς δρασσόμενος σκιᾶς καὶ διώκων ἄνεμον, οὕτως ὁ ἐπέχων ἐνυπνίοις.
|

|
|
Speak, thou that art the elder, for it becometh thee, but with sound judgment; and hinder not music.
|
τοῦτο κατὰ τούτου ὅρασις ἐνυπνίων, κατέναντι προσώπου ὁμοίωμα προσώπου.
|

|
|
Pour not out words where there is a musician, and shew not forth wisdom out of time.
|
ἀπὸ ἀκαθάρτου τί καθαρισθήσεται; καὶ ἀπὸ ψευδοῦς τί ἀληθεύσει;

A concert of music in a banquet of wine is as a signet of carbuncle set in gold.
|
μαντεῖαι καὶ οἰωνισμοὶ καὶ ἐνύπνια μάταιά ἐστι, καὶ ὡς ὠδινούσης φαντάζεται καρδία.
|
|

|

|
|
As a signet of an emerald set in a work of gold, so is the melody of music with pleasant wine.
|
ἐὰν μὴ παρὰ ῾Υψίστου ἀποσταλῇ ἐν ἐπισκοπῇ, μὴ δῷς εἰς αὐτὰ τὴν καρδίαν σου·
|
|

|

|
|
Speak, young man, if there be need of thee: and yet scarcely when thou art twice asked.
|
πολλοὺς γὰρ ἐπλάνησε τὰ ἐνύπνια, καὶ ἐξέπεσον ἐλπίζοντες ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς.—
|

|
|
Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words; be as one that knoweth and yet holdeth his tongue.
|
῎Ανευ ψεύδους συντελεσθήσεται νόμος, καὶ σοφία στόματι πιστῷ τελείωσις.
|

|
|
If thou be among great men, make not thyself equal with them; and when ancient men are in place, use not many words.
|
ἀνὴρ πεπαιδευμένος ἔγνω πολλά, καὶ ὁ πολύπειρος ἐκδιηγήσεται σύνεσιν.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
Before the thunder goeth lightning; and before a shamefaced man shall go favour.
|
ὃς οὐκ ἐπειράθη ὀλίγα οἶδεν, ὁ δὲ πεπλανημένος πληθυνεῖ πανουργίαν.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
Rise up betimes, and be not the last; but get thee home without delay.
|
πολλὰ ἑώρακα ἐν τῇ ἀποπλανήσει μου, καὶ πλείονα τῶν λόγων μου σύνεσίς μου.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
There take thy pastime, and do what thou wilt: but sin not by proud speech.
|
πλεονάκις ἕως θανάτου ἐκινδύνευσα καὶ διεσώθην τούτων χάριν.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
And for these things bless him that made thee, and hath replenished thee with his good things.
|
πνεῦμα φοβουμένων Κύριον ζήσεται, ἡ γὰρ ἐλπὶς αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸν σώζοντα αὐτούς.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
Whoso feareth the Lord will receive his discipline; and they that seek him early shall find favour.
|
ὁ φοβούμενος Κύριον οὐδὲν εὐλαβηθήσεται καὶ οὐ μὴ δειλιάσῃ, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐλπὶς αὐτοῦ.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
He that seeketh the law shall be filled therewith: but the hypocrite will be offended thereat.
|
φοβουμένου τὸν Κύριον μακαρία ἡ ψυχή· τίνι ἐπέχει καὶ τίς ἀντιστήριγμα αὐτοῦ;
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
They that fear the Lord shall find judgment, and shall kindle justice as a light.
|
οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτόν· ὑπερασπισμὸς δυναστείας καὶ στήριγμα ἰσχύος, σκέπη ἀπὸ καύσωνος καὶ σκέπη ἀπὸ μεσημβρίας, φυλακὴ ἀπὸ προσκόμματος καὶ βοήθεια ἀπὸ πτώσεως,
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
A sinful man will not be reproved, but findeth an excuse according to his will.
|
ἀνυψῶν ψυχὴν καὶ φωτίζων ὀφθαλμούς, ἴασιν διδούς, ζωὴν καὶ εὐλογίαν.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
A man of counsel will be considerate; but a strange and proud man is not daunted with fear, even when of himself he hath done without counsel.
|
Θυσιάζων ἐξ ἀδίκου, προσφορὰ μεμωκημένη, καὶ οὐκ εἰς εὐδοκίαν δωρήματα ἀνόμων.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
Do nothing without advice; and when thou hast once done, repent not.
|
οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ὁ ῞Υψιστος ἐν προσφοραῖς ἀσεβῶν, οὐδὲ ἐν πλήθει θυσιῶν ἐξιλάσκεται ἁμαρτίας.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
Go not in a way wherein thou mayest fall, and stumble not among the stones.
|
θύων υἱὸν ἔναντι τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ προσάγων θυσίαν ἐκ χρημάτων πενήτων.
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
Be not confident in a plain way.
|
ἄρτος ἐπιδεομένων ζωὴ πτωχῶν, ὁ ἀποστερῶν αὐτὴν ἄνθρωπος αἱμάτων.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
And beware of thine own children.
|
φονεύων τὸν πλησίον ὁ ἀφαιρούμενος συμβίωσιν, καὶ ἐκχέων αἷμα ὁ ἀποστερῶν μισθὸν μισθίου.
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
In every good work trust thy own soul; for this is the keeping of the commandments.
|
εἷς οἰκοδομῶν, καὶ εἷς καθαιρῶν· τί ὠφέλησαν πλεῖον ἢ κόπους;
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
He that believeth in the Lord taketh heed to the commandment; and he that trusteth in him shall fare never the worse.
|
εἷς εὐχόμενος καὶ εἷς καταρώμενος· τίνος φωνῆς εἰσακούσεται ὁ δεσπότης;
|
