|
| Honour a physician with the honour due unto him for the uses which ye may have of him: for the Lord hath created him. | ΠΑΣ φίλος ἐρεῖ· ἐφιλίασα αὐτῷ κἀγώ, ἀλλ᾿ ἔστι φίλος ὀνόματι μόνον φίλος. |
|
2
|
2
|
| For of the most High cometh healing, and he shall receive honour of the king. | οὐχὶ λύπη ἔνι ἕως θανάτου ἑταῖρος καὶ φίλος τρεπόμενος εἰς ἔχθραν; |
|
3
|
3
|
| The skill of the physician shall lift up his head: and in the sight of great men he shall be in admiration. | ὦ πονηρὸν ἐνθύμημα, πόθεν ἐνεκυλίσθης καλύψαι τὴν ξηρὰν ἐν δολιότητι; |
|
4
|
4
|
| The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them. | ἑταῖρος φίλου ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ ἥδεται καὶ ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως ἔσται ἀπέναντι· |
|
5
|
5
|
| Was not the water made sweet with wood, that the virtue thereof might be known? | ἑταῖρος φίλῳ συμπονεῖ χάριν γαστρός, ἔναντι πολέμου λήψεται ἀσπίδα. |
|
6
|
6
|
| And he hath given men skill, that he might be honoured in his marvellous works. | μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ φίλου ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ σου, καὶ μὴ ἀμνημονήσῃς αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς χρήμασί σου. |
|
7
|
7
|
| With such doth he heal men, and taketh away their pains. | Πᾶς σύμβουλος ἐξαίρει βουλήν, ἀλλ᾿ ἔστι συμβουλεύων εἰς ἑαυτόν. |
|
8
|
8
|
| Of such doth the apothecary make a confection; and of his works there is no end; and from him is peace over all the earth. | ἀπὸ συμβούλου φύλαξον τὴν ψυχήν σου καὶ γνῶθι πρότερον τίς αὐτοῦ χρεία —καὶ γὰρ αὐτὸς ἑαυτῷ βουλεύσεται—, μήποτε βάλῃ ἐπὶ σοὶ κλῆρον |
|

|

|
| My son, in thy sickness be not negligent: but pray unto the Lord, and he will make thee whole. | καὶ εἴπῃ σοι· καλὴ ἡ ὁδός σου, καὶ στήσεται ἐξ ἐναντίας ἰδεῖν τὸ συμβησόμενόν σοι. |
|
10
|
10
|
| Leave off from sin, and order thine hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all wickedness. | μὴ βουλεύου μετὰ τοῦ ὑποβλεπομένου σε καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ζηλούντων σε κρύψον βουλήν. |
|
11
|
11
|
| Give a sweet savour, and a memorial of fine flour; and make a fat offering, as not being. | μετὰ γυναικὸς περὶ τῆς ἀντιζήλου αὐτῆς καὶ μετὰ δειλοῦ περὶ πολέμου, μετὰ ἐμπόρου περὶ μεταβολίας καὶ μετὰ ἀγοράζοντος περὶ πράσεως, μετὰ βασκάνου περὶ εὐχαριστίας καὶ μετὰ ἀνελεήμονος περὶ χρηστοηθείας, μετὰ ὀκνηροῦ περὶ παντὸς ἔργου καὶ μετὰ μισθίου ἐφεστίου περὶ συντελείας, οἰκέτῃ ἀργῷ περὶ πολλῆς ἐργασίας, μὴ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ τούτοις περὶ πάσης συμβουλίας· |
|
12
|
12
|
| Then give place to the physician, for the Lord hath created him: let him not go from thee, for thou hast need of him. | ἀλλ᾿ ἢ μετὰ ἀνδρὸς εὐσεβοῦς ἐνδελέχιζε, ὃν ἂν ἐπιγνῷς συντηροῦντα ἐντολάς, ὃς ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ κατὰ τὴν ψυχήν σου, καὶ ἐὰν πταίσῃς, συναλγήσει σοι. |
|
13
|
13
|
| There is a time when in their hands there is good success. | καὶ βουλὴν καρδίας στῆσον, οὐ γάρ ἔστι σοι πιστότερος αὐτῆς· |
|
14
|
14
|
| For they shall also pray unto the Lord, that he would prosper that which they give for ease and remedy to prolong life. | ψυχὴ γὰρ ἀνδρὸς ἀπαγγέλλειν ἐνίοτε εἴωθεν ἢ ἑπτὰ σκοποὶ ἐπὶ μετεώρου καθήμενοι ἐπὶ σκοπῆς. |
|
15
|
15
|
| He that sinneth before his Maker, let him fall into the hand of the physician. | καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσι τούτοις δεήθητι ῾Υψίστου, ἵνα εὐθύνῃ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ τὴν ὁδόν σου.— |
|
16
|
16
|
| My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament, as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial. | ᾿Αρχὴ παντὸς ἔργου λόγος, καὶ πρὸ πάσης πράξεως βουλή. |
|
17
|
17
|
| Weep bitterly, and make great moan, and use lamentation, as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken of: and then comfort thyself for thy heaviness; | ἴχνος ἀλλοιώσεως καρδίας τέσσαρα μέρη ἀνατέλλει, |
|
18
|
18
|
| for of heaviness cometh death, and the heaviness of the heart breaketh strength. | ἀγαθὸν καὶ κακόν, ζωὴ καὶ θάνατος, καὶ ἡ κυριεύουσα ἐνδελεχῶς αὐτῶν γλῶσσά ἐστιν. |
|
19
|
19
|
| In affliction also sorrow remaineth: and the life of the poor is the curse of the heart. | ἔστιν ἀνὴρ πανοῦργος πολλῶν παιδευτής, καὶ τῇ ἰδίᾳ ψυχῇ ἄχρηστός ἐστιν. |
|
20
|
20
|
| Take no heaviness to heart: drive it away, and remember the last end. | ἔστι σοφιζόμενος ἐν λόγοις μισητός, οὗτος πάσης τροφῆς καθυστερήσει· |
|
21
|
21
|
| Forget him not, for there is no turning again: thou shalt not do him good, but hurt thyself. | οὐ γὰρ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ παρὰ Κυρίου χάρις, ὅτι πάσης σοφίας ἐστερήθη. |
|
22
|
22
|
| Remember his judgment: for thine also shall be so; yesterday for me, and to day for thee. | ἔστι σοφὸς τῇ ἰδίᾳ ψυχῇ, καὶ οἱ καρποὶ τῆς συνέσεως αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ στόματος πιστοί. |
|
23
|
23
|
| When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest; and be comforted for him when his spirit is departed from him. | ἀνὴρ σοφὸς τὸν ἑαυτοῦ λαὸν παιδεύσει, καὶ οἱ καρποὶ τῆς συνέσεως αὐτοῦ πιστοί. |
|
24
|
24
|
| The wisdom of a learned man cometh by opportunity of leisure: and he that hath little business shall become wise. | ἀνὴρ σοφὸς πλησθήσεται εὐλογίας, καὶ μακαριοῦσιν αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ ὁρῶντες. |
|
25
|
25
|
| How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth oxen, and is occupied in their labours, and whose talk is of bullocks? | ζωὴ ἀνδρὸς ἐν ἀριθμῷ ἡμερῶν, καὶ αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀναρίθμητοι. |
|
26
|
26
|
| He giveth his mind to make furrows; and is diligent to give the kine fodder. | ὁ σοφὸς ἐν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ κληρονομήσει πίστιν, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ζήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. |
|
27
|
27
|
| So every carpenter and workmaster, that laboureth night and day: and they that cut and grave seals, and are diligent to make great variety, and give themselves to counterfeit imagery, and watch to finish a work: | Τέκνον, ἐν τῇ ζωῇ σου πείρασον τὴν ψυχήν σου καὶ ἰδὲ τί πονηρὸν αὐτῇ, καὶ μὴ δῷς αὐτῇ· |
|
28
|
28
|
| The smith also sitting by the anvil, and considering the iron work, the vapour of the fire wasteth his flesh, and he fighteth with the heat of the furnace: the noise of the hammer and the anvil is ever in his ears, and his eyes look still upon the pattern of the thing that he maketh; he setteth his mind to finish his work, and watcheth to polish it perfectly: | οὐ γὰρ πάντα πᾶσι συμφέρει, καὶ οὐ πᾶσα ψυχὴ ἐν παντὶ εὐδοκεῖ. |
|
29
|
29
|
| So doth the potter sitting at his work, and turning the wheel about with his feet, who is alway carefully set at his work, and maketh all his work by number; | μὴ ἀπληστεύου ἐν πάσῃ τρυφῇ καὶ μὴ ἐκχυθῇς ἐπὶ ἐδεσμάτων· |
|
30
|
30
|
| he fashioneth the clay with his arm, and boweth down his strength before his feet; he applieth himself to lead it over; and he is diligent to make clean the furnace: | ἐν πολλοῖς γὰρ βρώμασιν ἔσται πόνος, καὶ ἡ ἀπληστία ἐγγιεῖ ἕως χολέρας. |
|
31
|
31
|
| all these trust to their hands; and every one is wise in his work. | δι᾿ ἀπληστίαν πολλοὶ ἐτελεύτησαν, ὁ δὲ προσέχων προσθήσει ζωήν. |
|
32
|
|
| Without these cannot a city be inhabited: and they shall not dwell where they will, nor go up and down: | |
|
33
|
|
| they shall not be sought for in public counsel, nor sit high in the congregation: they shall not sit on the judges' seat, nor understand the sentence of judgment: they cannot declare justice and judgment; and they shall not be found where parables are spoken. | |
|
34
|
|
| But they will maintain the state of the world, and all their desire is in the work of their craft. But he that giveth his mind to the law of the most High, and is occupied in the meditation thereof, |
