Chapter 37
|
Κεφάλαιο 37
|
|
1
|
1
|
|
Every friend saith, I am his friend also: but there is a friend, which is only a friend in name.
|
ΕΛΕΗΣΟΝ ἡμᾶς, δέσποτα ὁ Θεὸς πάντων, καὶ ἐπίβλεψον καὶ ἐπίβαλε τὸν φόβον σου ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη·
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
Is it not a grief unto death, when a companion and friend is turned to an enemy?
|
ἔπαρον τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπὶ ἔθνη ἀλλότρια, καὶ ἰδέτωσαν τὴν δυναστείαν σου.
|
|

|

|
|
O wicked imagination, whence camest thou in to cover the earth with deceit?
|
ὥσπερ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἡγιάσθης ἐν ἡμῖν, οὕτως ἐνώπιον ἡμῶν μεγαλυνθείης ἐν αὐτοῖς·
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
There is a companion, which rejoiceth in the prosperity of a friend, but in the time of trouble will be against him.
|
καὶ ἐπιγνώτωσάν σε, καθάπερ καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐπέγνωμεν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι Θεὸς πλὴν σοῦ, Κύριε.
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
There is a companion, which helpeth his friend for the belly, and taketh up the buckler against the enemy.
|
ἐγκαίνισον σημεῖα καὶ ἀλλοίωσον θαυμάσια, δόξασον χεῖρα καὶ βραχίονα δεξιόν·
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
Forget not thy friend in thy mind, and be not unmindful of him in thy riches.
|
ἔγειρον θυμὸν καὶ ἔκχεον ὀργήν, ἔξαρον ἀντίδικον καὶ ἔκτριψον ἐχθρόν.
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
Every counsellor extolleth counsel; but there is some that counselleth for himself.
|
σπεῦσον καιρὸν καὶ μνήσθητι ὁρκισμοῦ, καὶ ἐκδιηγησάσθωσαν τὰ μεγαλεῖά σου.
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
Beware of a counsellor, and know before what need he hath; for he will counsel for himself; lest he cast the lot upon thee,
|
ἐν ὀργῇ πυρὸς καταβρωθήτω ὁ σῳζόμενος, καὶ οἱ κακοῦντες τὸν λαόν σου εὕροισαν ἀπώλειαν.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
and say unto thee, Thy way is good: and afterward he stand on the other side, to see what shall befall thee.
|
σύντριψον κεφαλὰς ἀρχόντων ἐχθρῶν λεγόντων· οὐκ ἔστι πλὴν ἡμῶν.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
Consult not with one that suspecteth thee: and hide thy counsel from such as envy thee.
|
συνάγαγε πάσας φυλὰς ᾿Ιακώβ, καὶ κατεκληρονόμησα αὐτοὺς καθὼς ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
Neither consult with a woman touching her of whom she is jealous; neither with a coward in matters of war; nor with a merchant concerning exchange; nor with a buyer of selling; nor with an envious man of thankfulness; nor with an unmerciful man touching kindness; nor with the slothful for any work; nor with an hireling for a year of finishing work; nor with an idle servant of much business: hearken not unto these in any matter of counsel.
|
ἐλέησον λαόν, Κύριε, κεκλημένον ἐπ᾿ ὀνόματί σου καὶ ᾿Ισραήλ, ὃν πρωτογόνῳ ὡμοίωσας.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
But be continually with a godly man, whom thou knowest to keep the commandments of the Lord, whose mind is according to thy mind, and will sorrow with thee, if thou shalt miscarry.
|
οἰκτείρησον πόλιν ἁγιάσματός σου ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, πόλιν καταπαύματός σου.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
And let the counsel of thine own heart stand: for there is no man more faithful unto thee than it;
|
πλῆσον Σιὼν ἀρεταλογίας σου, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης σου τὸν λαόν σου.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
for a man's mind is sometime wont to tell him more than seven watchmen, that sit above in an high tower.
|
δὸς μαρτύριον τοῖς ἐν ἀρχῇ κτίσματί σου καὶ ἔγειρον προφητείας τὰς ἐπ᾿ ὀνόματί σου·
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
And above all this pray to the most High, that he will direct thy way in truth.
|
δὸς μισθὸν τοῖς ὑπομένουσί σε, καὶ οἱ προφῆταί σου ἐμπιστευθήτωσαν.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
Let reason go before every enterprize, and counsel before every action.
|
εἰσάκουσον, Κύριε, δεήσεως ἱκετῶν σου, κατὰ τὴν εὐλογίαν ᾿Ααρὼν περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου,
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
The countenance is a sign of changing of the heart.
|
καὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅτι σὺ Κύριος εἶ ὁ Θεὸς τῶν αἰώνων.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
Four manners of things appear: good and evil, life and death: but the tongue ruleth over them continually.
|
Πᾶν βρῶμα φάγεται κοιλία, ἔστι δὲ βρῶμα βρώματος κάλλιον.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
There is one that is wise and teacheth many, and yet is unprofitable to himself.
|
φάρυγξ γεύεται βρώματα θήρας, οὕτως καρδία συνετὴ λόγους ψευδεῖς.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
There is one that sheweth wisdom in words, and is hated: he shall be destitute of all food.
|
καρδία στρεβλὴ δώσει λύπην, καὶ ἄνθρωπος πολύπειρος ἀνταποδώσει αὐτῷ.
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
For grace is not given him from the Lord; because he is deprived of all wisdom.
|
πάντα ἄρρενα ἐπιδέξεται γυνή, ἔστι δὲ θυγάτηρ θυγατρὸς κρείσσων.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
Another is wise to himself; and the fruits of understanding are commendable in his mouth.
|
κάλλος γυναικὸς ἱλαρύνει πρόσωπον καὶ ὑπὲρ πᾶσαν ἐπιθυμίαν ἀνθρώπου ὑπεράγει·
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
A wise man instructeth his people; and the fruits of his understanding fail not.
|
εἰ ἔστιν ἐπὶ γλώσσης αὐτῆς ἔλεος καὶ πραΰτης, οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς καθ᾿ υἱοὺς ἀνθρώπων.
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
A wise man shall be filled with blessing; and all they that see him shall count him happy.
|
ὁ κτώμενος γυναῖκα ἐνάρχεται κτήσεως, βοηθὸν κατ᾿ αὐτὸν καὶ στύλον ἀναπαύσεως.
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
The days of the life of man may be numbered; but the days of Israel are innumerable.
|
οὗ οὐκ ἔστι φραγμός, διαρπαγήσεται κτῆμα, καὶ οὗ οὐκ ἔστι γυνή, στενάξει πλανώμενος.
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
A wise man shall inherit glory among his people, and his name shall be perpetual.
|
τίς γὰρ πιστεύσει εὐζώνῳ λῃστῇ σφαλλομένῳ ἐκ πόλεως εἰς πόλιν;
|
|
27
|
27
|
|
My son, prove thy soul in thy life, and see what is evil for it, and give not that unto it.
|
οὕτως ἀνθρώπῳ μὴ ἔχοντι νοσσιὰν καὶ καταλύοντι οὗ ἐὰν ὀψίσῃ.
|
|
28
|
|
|
For all things are not profitable for all men, neither hath every soul pleasure in every thing.
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
Be not insatiable in any dainty thing, nor too greedy upon meats:
|
|
|
30
|
|
|
for excess of meats bringeth sickness, and surfeiting will turn into choler.
|
|
|
31
|
|
|
By surfeiting have many perished; but he that taketh heed prolongeth his life.
