| O death, how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man that liveth at rest in his possessions, unto the man that hath nothing to vex him, and that hath prosperity in all things: yea, unto him that is yet able to receive meat! | ΑΣΧΟΛΙΑ μεγάλη ἔκτισται παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ καὶ ζυγὸς βαρὺς ἐπὶ υἱοὺς ᾿Αδὰμ ἀφ᾿ ἡμέρας ἐξόδου ἐκ γαστρὸς μητρὸς αὐτῶν ἕως ἡμέρας ἐπιστροφῆς εἰς μητέρα πάντων· |
|

|
| O death, acceptable is thy sentence unto the needy, and unto him whose strength faileth, that is now in the last age, and is vexed with all things, and to him that despaireth, and hath lost patience! | τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ φόβον καρδίας, ἐπίνοια προσδοκίας, ἡμέρα τελευτῆς. |
|

|

|
| Fear not the sentence of death, remember them that have been before thee, and that come after; for this is the sentence of the Lord over all flesh. | ἀπὸ καθημένου ἐπὶ θρόνου ἐν δόξῃ καὶ ἕως τεταπεινωμένου ἐν γῇ καὶ σποδῷ, |
|

|

|
| And why art thou against the pleasure of the most High? there is no inquisition in the grave, whether thou have lived ten, or an hundred, or a thousand years. | ἀπὸ φοροῦντος ὑάκινθον καὶ στέφανον καὶ ἕως περιβαλλομένου ὠμόλινον, |
|

|
| The children of sinners are abominable children, and they that are conversant in the dwelling of the ungodly. | θυμὸς καὶ ζῆλος καὶ ταραχὴ καὶ σάλος καὶ φόβος θανάτου καὶ μηνίαμα καὶ ἔρις· καὶ ἐν καιρῷ ἀναπαύσεως ἐπὶ κοίτης ὕπνος νυκτὸς ἀλλοιοῖ γνῶσιν αὐτοῦ. |
|
6
|
6
|
| The inheritance of sinners' children shall perish, and from their posterity shall be a perpetual reproach. | ὀλίγον ὡς οὐδὲν ἐν ἀναπαύσει, καὶ ἀπ᾿ ἐκείνου ἐν ὕπνοις ὡς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σκοπιᾶς τεθορυβημένος ἐν ὁράσει καρδίας αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἐκπεφευγὼς ἀπὸ προσώπου πολέμου. |
|

|

|
| The children will complain of an ungodly father, because they will be reproached for his sake. | ἐν καιρῷ σωτηρίας αὐτοῦ ἐξηγέρθη καὶ ἀποθαυμάζων εἰς οὐδένα φόβον. |
|

|

|
| Who be unto you, ungodly men, which have forsaken the law of the most high God! for if ye increase, it shall be to your destruction: | μετὰ πάσης σαρκὸς ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους, καὶ ἐπὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν ἑπταπλάσια πρὸς ταῦτα· |
|
9
|
9
|
| and if ye be born, ye shall be born to a curse: and if ye die, a curse shall be your portion. | θάνατος καὶ αἷμα καὶ ἔρις καὶ ρομφαία, ἐπαγωγαί, λιμὸς καὶ σύντριμμα καὶ μάστιξ, |
|
10
|
10
|
| All that are of the earth shall turn to earth again: so the ungodly shall go from a curse to destruction. | ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀνόμους ἐκτίσθη ταῦτα πάντα, καὶ δι᾿ αὐτοὺς ἐγένετο ὁ κατακλυσμός. |
|
11
|
11
|
| The mourning of men is about their bodies: but an ill name of sinners shall be blotted out. | πάντα, ὅσα ἀπὸ γῆς, εἰς γῆν ἀναστρέφει, καὶ ἀπὸ ὑδάτων εἰς θάλασσαν ἀνακάμπτει. |
|
12
|
12
|
| Have regard to thy name; for that shall continue with thee above a thousand great treasures of gold. | Πᾶν δῶρον καὶ ἀδικία ἐξαλειφθήσεται, καὶ πίστις εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα στήσεται. |
|
13
|
13
|
| A good life hath but few days: but a good name endureth for ever. | χρήματα ἀδίκων ὡς ποταμὸς ξηρανθήσεται καὶ ὡς βροντὴ μεγάλη ἐν ὑετῷ ἐξηχήσει. |
|
14
|
14
|
| My children, keep discipline in peace: for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is in them both? | ἐν τῷ ἀνοῖξαι αὐτὸν χεῖρας εὐφρανθήσεται, οὕτως οἱ παραβαίνοντες εἰς συντέλειαν ἐκλείψουσιν. |
|
15
|
15
|
| A man that hideth his foolishness is better than a man that hideth his wisdom. | ἔκγονα ἀσεβῶν οὐ πληθύνει κλάδους, καὶ ρίζαι ἀκάθαρτοι ἐπ᾿ ἀκροτόμου πέτρας· |
|
16
|
16
|
| Therefore be shamefaced according to my word: for it is not good to retain all shamefacedness; neither is it altogether approved in every thing. | ἄχει ἐπὶ παντὸς ὕδατος καὶ χείλους ποταμοῦ πρὸ παντὸς χόρτου ἐκτιλήσεται. |
|
17
|
17
|
| Be ashamed of whoredom before father and mother: and of a lie before a prince and a mighty man; | χάρις ὡς παράδεισος ἐν εὐλογίαις, καὶ ἐλεημοσύνη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα διαμένει. |
|
18
|
18
|
| of an offence before a judge and ruler; of iniquity before a congregation and people; of unjust dealing before thy partner and friend; | Ζωὴ αὐτάρκους ἐργάτου γλυκανθήσεται, καὶ ὑπὲρ ἀμφότερα ὁ εὑρίσκων θησαυρόν. |
|
19
|
19
|
| and of theft in regard of the place where thou sojournest, and in regard of the truth of God and his covenant; and to lean with thine elbow upon the meat; and of scorning to give and take; | τέκνα καὶ οἰκοδομὴ πόλεως στηρίζουσιν ὄνομα, καὶ ὑπὲρ ἀμφότερα γυνὴ ἄμωμος λογίζεται. |
|
20
|
20
|
| and of silence before them that salute thee; and to look upon an harlot; | οἶνος καὶ μουσικὰ εὐφραίνουσι καρδίαν, καὶ ὑπὲρ ἀμφότερα ἀγάπησις σοφίας. |
|
21
|
21
|
| and to turn away thy face from thy kinsman; or to take away a portion or a gift; or to gaze upon another man's wife; | αὐλὸς καὶ ψαλτήριον ἡδύνουσι μέλι, καὶ ὑπὲρ ἀμφότερα γλῶσσα ἡδεῖα. |
|
22
|
22
|
| or to be overbusy with his maid, and come not near her bed; or of upbraiding speeches before friends; and after thou hast given, upbraid not; | χάριν καὶ κάλλος ἐπιθυμήσει ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου, καὶ ὑπὲρ ἀμφότερα χλόην σπόρου. |
|
23
|
23
|
| Or of iterating and speaking again that which thou hast heard; and of revealing of secrets; | φίλος καὶ ἑταῖρος εἰς καιρὸν ἀπαντῶντες, καὶ ὑπὲρ ἀμφότερα γυνὴ μετὰ ἀνδρός. |
|
24
|
24
|
| so shalt thou be truly shamefaced, and find favour before all men. | ἀδελφοὶ καὶ βοήθεια εἰς καιρὸν θλίψεως, καὶ ὑπὲρ ἀμφότερα ἐλεημοσύνη ρύσεται. |
