Κεφάλαιο 4

1
|
| My son, defraud not the poor of his living, and make not the needy eyes to wait long. | ΕΜΟΥ τοῦ πατρὸς ἀκούσατε, τέκνα, καὶ οὕτως ποιήσατε, ἵνα σωθῆτε· |
|
2
|
2
|
| Make not a hungry soul sorrowful; neither provoke a man in his distress. | ὁ γὰρ Κύριος ἐδόξασε πατέρα ἐπὶ τέκνοις καὶ κρίσιν μητρὸς ἐστερέωσεν ἐφ᾿ υἱοῖς. |
|
3
|
3
|
| Add not more trouble to a heart that is vexed; and defer not to give to him that is in need. | ὁ τιμῶν πατέρα ἐξιλάσεται ἁμαρτίας, |
|
4
|
4
|
| Reject not the supplication of the afflicted; neither turn away thy face from a poor man. | καὶ ὡς ὁ ἀποθησαυρίζων, ὁ δοξάζων μητέρα αὐτοῦ. |
|
5
|
5
|
| Turn not away thine eye from the needy, and give him none occasion to curse thee: | ὁ τιμῶν πατέρα εὐφρανθήσεται ὑπὸ τέκνων, καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ προσευχῆς αὐτοῦ εἰσακουσθήσεται. |
|
6
|
6
|
| for if he curse thee in the bitterness of his soul, his prayer shall be heard of him that made him. | ὁ δοξάζων πατέρα μακροημερεύσει, καὶ ὁ εἰσακούων Κυρίου ἀναπαύσει μητέρα αὐτοῦ· |
|
7
|
7
|
| Get thyself the love of the congregation, and bow thy head to a great man. | καὶ ὡς δεσπόταις δουλεύσει ἐν τοῖς γεννήσασιν αὐτόν. |
|
8
|
8
|
| Let it not grieve thee to bow down thine ear to the poor, and give him a friendly answer with meekness. | ἐν ἔργῳ καὶ λόγῳ τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου, ἵνα ἐπέλθῃ σοι εὐλογία παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ· |
|
9
|
9
|
| Deliver him that suffereth wrong from the hand of the oppressor; and be not fainthearted when thou sittest in judgment. | εὐλογία γὰρ πατρὸς στηρίζει οἴκους τέκνων, κατάρα δὲ μητρὸς ἐκριζοῖ θεμέλια. |
|
10
|
10
|
| Be as a father unto the fatherless, and instead of a husband unto their mother: so shalt thou be as the son of the most High, and he shall love thee more than thy mother doth. | μὴ δοξάζου ἐν ἀτιμίᾳ πατρός σου, οὐ γάρ ἐστί σοι δόξα πατρὸς ἀτιμία· |
|
11
|
11
|
| Wisdom exalteth her children, and layeth hold of them that seek her. | ἡ γὰρ δόξα ἀνθρώπου ἐκ τιμῆς πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὄνειδος τέκνοις μήτηρ ἐν ἀδοξίᾳ. |
|
12
|
12
|
| He that loveth her loveth life; and they that seek to her early shall be filled with joy. | τέκνον, ἀντιλαβοῦ ἐν γήρᾳ πατρός σου, καὶ μὴ λυπήσῃς αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ· |
|
13
|
13
|
| He that holdeth her fast shall inherit glory; and wheresoever she entereth, the Lord will bless. | κἂν ἀπολείπῃ σύνεσιν, συγγνώμην ἔχε καὶ μὴ ἀτιμάσῃς αὐτὸν ἐν πάσῃ ἰσχύϊ σου. |
|
14
|
14
|
| They that serve her shall minister to the Holy One: and them that love her the Lord doth love. | ἐλεημοσύνη γὰρ πατρὸς οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται, καὶ ἀντὶ ἁμαρτιῶν προσανοικοδομηθήσεταί σοι. |
|
15
|
15
|
| Whoso giveth ear unto her shall judge the nations: and he that attendeth unto her shall dwell securely. | ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς σου ἀναμνησθήσεταί σου· ὡς εὐδία ἐπὶ παγετῷ, οὕτως ἀναλυθήσονταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι. |
|
16
|
16
|
| If a man commit himself unto her, he shall inherit her; and his generation shall hold her in possession. | ὡς βλάσφημος ὁ ἐγκαταλιπὼν πατέρα, καὶ κεκατηραμένος ὑπὸ Κυρίου ὁ παροργίζων μητέρα αὐτοῦ. |
|
17
|
17
|
| For at the first she will walk with him by crooked ways, and bring fear and dread upon him, and torment him with her discipline, until she may trust his soul, and try him by her laws. | τέκνον, ἐν πραΰτητι τὰ ἔργα σου διέξαγε, καὶ ὑπὸ ἀνθρώπου δεκτοῦ ἀγαπηθήσῃ. |
|
18
|
18
|
| Then will she return the straight way unto him, and comfort him, and shew him her secrets. | ὅσῳ μέγας εἶ, τοσούτῳ ταπεινοῦ σεαυτόν, καὶ ἔναντι Κυρίου εὑρήσεις χάριν· |
|
19
|
|
| But if he go wrong, she will forsake him, and give him over to his own ruin. | |
|
20
|
20
|
| Observe the opportunity, and beware of evil; and be not ashamed when it concerneth thy soul. | ὅτι μεγάλη ἡ δυναστεία τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ταπεινῶν δοξάζεται. |
|
21
|
21
|
| For there is a shame that bringeth sin; and there is a shame which is glory and grace. | χαλεπώτερά σου μὴ ζήτει καὶ ἰσχυρότερά σου μὴ ἐξέταζε· |
|
22
|
22
|
| Accept no person against thy soul, and let not the reverence of any man cause thee to fall. | ἃ προσετάγη σοι, ταῦτα διανοοῦ, οὐ γάρ ἐστί σοι χρεία τῶν κρυπτῶν. |
|
23
|
23
|
| And refrain not to speak, when there is occasion to do good, and hide not thy wisdom in her beauty. | ἐν τοῖς περισσοῖς τῶν ἔργων σου μὴ περιεργάζου· πλείονα γὰρ συνέσεως ἀνθρώπων ὑπεδείχθη σοι· |
|
24
|
24
|
| For by speech wisdom shall be known: and learning by the word of the tongue. | πολλοὺς γὰρ ἐπλάνησεν ἡ ὑπόληψις αὐτῶν, καὶ ὑπόνοια πονηρὰ ὠλίσθησε διανοίας αὐτῶν. [ |
|
25
|
25
|
| In no wise speak against the truth; but be abashed of the error of thine ignorance. | κόρας μὴ ἔχων ἀπορήσεις φωτός, γνώσεως δὲ ἄμοιρος ὢν μὴ ἐπαγγέλλου]. |
|
26
|
26
|
| Be not ashamed to confess thy sins; and force not the course of the river. | καρδία σκληρὰ κακωθήσεται ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτων, καὶ ὁ ἀγαπῶν κίνδυνον ἐν αὐτῷ ἐμπεσεῖται. |
|
27
|
27
|
| Make not thyself an underling to a foolish man; neither accept the person of the mighty. | καρδία σκληρὰ βαρυνθήσεται πόνοις, καὶ ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς προσθήσει ἁμαρτίαν ἐφ᾿ ἁμαρτίαις. |
|
28
|
28
|
| Strive for the truth unto death, and the Lord shall fight for thee. | ἐπαγωγὴ ὑπερηφάνου οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις, φυτὸν γὰρ πονηρίας ἐρρίζωκεν ἐν αὐτῷ. |
|
29
|
29
|
| Be not hasty in thy tongue, and in thy deeds slack and remiss. | καρδία συνετοῦ διανοηθήσεται παραβολήν, καὶ οὖς ἀκροατοῦ ἐπιθυμία σοφοῦ. |
|
30
|
30
|
| Be not as a lion in thy house, nor frantic among thy servants. | πῦρ φλογιζόμενον ἀποσβέσει ὕδωρ, καὶ ἐλεημοσύνη ἐξιλάσεται ἁμαρτίας. |
|
31
|
31
|
| Let not thine hand be stretched out to receive, and shut when thou shouldest repay. | ὁ ἀνταποδιδοὺς χάριτας μέμνηται εἰς τὰ μετὰ ταῦτα, καὶ ἐν καιρῷ πτώσεως εὑρήσει στήριγμα. |
