Κεφάλαιο 7
|

|
1
|
| Do no evil, so shall no harm come unto thee. | ΚΑΙ ἀντὶ φίλου μὴ γίνου ἐχθρός· ὄνομα γὰρ πονηρὸν αἰσχύνην καὶ ὄνειδος κληρονομήσει· οὕτως ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς ὁ δίγλωσσος. |
|
2
|
2
|
| Depart from the unjust, and iniquity shall turn away from thee. | μὴ ἐπάρῃς σεαυτὸν ἐν βουλῇ ψυχῆς σου, ἵνα μὴ διαρπαγῇ ὡς ταῦρος ἡ ψυχή σου· |
|
3
|
3
|
| My son, sow not upon the furrows of unrighteousness, and thou shalt not reap them sevenfold. | τὰ φύλλα σου καταφάγεσαι καὶ τοὺς καρπούς σου ἀπολέσεις καὶ ἀφήσεις σεαυτὸν ὡς ξύλον ξηρόν. |
|
4
|
4
|
| Seek not of the Lord preeminence, neither of the king the seat of honour. | ψυχὴ πονηρὰ ἀπολεῖ τὸν κτησάμενον αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπίχαρμα ἐχθρῶν ποιήσει αὐτόν. |
|
5
|
5
|
| Justify not thyself before the Lord; and boast not of thy wisdom before the king. | Λάρυγξ γλυκὺς πληθυνεῖ φίλους αὐτοῦ, καὶ γλῶσσα εὔλαλος πληθυνεῖ εὐπροσήγορα. |
|
6
|
6
|
| Seek not to be judge, being not able to take away iniquity; lest at any time thou fear the person of the mighty, and lay a stumblingblock in the way of thy uprightness. | οἱ εἰρηνεύοντές σοι ἔστωσαν πολλοί, οἱ δὲ σύμβουλοί σου εἷς ἀπὸ χιλίων. |
|
7
|
7
|
| Offend not against the multitude of a city, and then thou shalt not cast thyself down among the people. | εἰ κτᾶσαι φίλον, ἐν πειρασμῷ κτῆσαι αὐτόν, καὶ μὴ ταχὺ ἐμπιστεύσῃς αὐτῷ· |
|
8
|
8
|
| Bind not one sin upon another; for in one thou shalt not be unpunished. | ἔστι γὰρ φίλος ἐν καιρῷ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ μὴ παραμείνῃ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς σου. |
|
9
|
9
|
| Say not, God will look upon the multitude of my oblations, and when I offer to the most high God, he will accept it. | καὶ ἔστι φίλος μετατιθέμενος εἰς ἔχθραν καὶ μάχην ὀνειδισμοῦ σου ἀποκαλύψει. |
|
10
|
10
|
| Be not fainthearted when thou makest thy prayer, and neglect not to give alms. | καὶ ἔστι φίλος κοινωνὸς τραπεζῶν καὶ οὐ μὴ παραμείνῃ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς σου. |
|
11
|
11
|
| Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for there is one which humbleth and exalteth. | καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς σου ἔσται ὡς σύ, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς οἰκέτας σου παρρησιάσεται· |
|
12
|
12
|
| Devise not a lie against thy brother; neither do the like to thy friend. | ἐὰν ταπεινωθῇς, ἔσται κατὰ σοῦ, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου κρυβήσεται. |
|
13
|
13
|
| Use not to make any manner of lie: for the custom thereof is not good. | ἀπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου διαχωρίσθητι καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν φίλων σου πρόσεχε. |
|
14
|
14
|
| Use not many words in a multitude of elders, and make not much babbling when thou prayest. | φίλος πιστὸς σκέπη κραταιά, ὁ δὲ εὑρὼν αὐτὸν εὗρε θησαυρόν. |
|
15
|
15
|
| Hate not laborious work, neither husbandry, which the most High hath ordained. | φίλου πιστοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀντάλλαγμα, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι σταθμὸς τῆς καλλονῆς αὐτοῦ. |
|
16
|
16
|
| Number not thyself among the multitude of sinners, but remember that wrath will not tarry long. | φίλος πιστὸς φάρμακον ζωῆς, καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι Κύριον εὑρήσουσιν αὐτόν. |
|
17
|
17
|
| Humble thy soul greatly: for the vengeance of the ungodly is fire and worms. | ὁ φοβούμενος Κύριον εὐθύνει φιλίαν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι κατ᾿ αὐτὸν οὕτως καὶ ὁ πλησίον αὐτοῦ. |
|
18
|
18
|
| Change not a friend for any good by no means; neither a faithful brother for the gold of Suphir. | Τέκνον, ἐκ νεότητός σου ἐπίλεξαι παιδείαν, καὶ ἕως πολιῶν εὑρήσεις σοφίαν. |
|
19
|
19
|
| Forego not a wise and good woman: for her grace is above gold. | ὡς ὁ ἀροτριῶν καὶ ὁ σπείρων πρόσελθε αὐτῇ καὶ ἀνάμενε τοὺς ἀγαθοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῆς· ἐν γὰρ τῇ ἐργασίᾳ αὐτῆς ὀλίγον κοπιάσεις καὶ ταχὺ φάγεσαι γεννημάτων αὐτῆς. |
|
20
|
20
|
| Whereas thy servant worketh truly, entreat him not evil, nor the hireling that bestoweth himself wholly for thee. | ὡς τραχεῖά ἐστι σφόδρα τοῖς ἀπαιδεύτοις, καὶ οὐκ ἐμμενεῖ ἐν αὐτῇ ἀκάρδιος· |
|
21
|
21
|
| Let thy soul love a good servant, and defraud him not of liberty. | ὡς λίθος δοκιμασίας ἰσχυρὸς ἔσται ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ, καὶ οὐ χρονιεῖ ἀπορρῖψαι αὐτήν. |
|
22
|
22
|
| Hast thou cattle? have an eye to them: and if they be for thy profit, keep them with thee. | σοφία γὰρ κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς ἐστι, καὶ οὐ πολλοῖς ἐστι φανερά. |
|
23
|
23
|
| Hast thou children? instruct them, and bow down their neck from their youth. | ἄκουσον, τέκνον, καὶ δέξαι γνώμην μου, καὶ μὴ ἀπαναίνου τὴν συμβουλίαν μου. |
|
24
|
24
|
| Hast thou daughters? have a care of their body, and shew not thyself cheerful toward them. | καὶ εἰσένεγκον τοὺς πόδας σου εἰς τὰς πέδας αὐτῆς καὶ εἰς τὸν κλοιὸν αὐτῆς τὸν τράχηλόν σου. |
|
25
|
25
|
| Marry thy daughter, and so shalt thou have performed a weighty matter: but give her to a man of understanding. | ὑπόθες τὸν ὦμόν σου καὶ βάσταξον αὐτήν, καὶ μὴ προσοχθίσῃς τοῖς δεσμοῖς αὐτῆς. |
|
26
|
26
|
| Hast thou a wife after thy mind? forsake her not. | ἐν πάσῃ ψυχῇ σου πρόσελθε αὐτῇ καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ δυνάμει σου συντήρησον τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῆς. |
|
27
|
27
|
| Honour thy father with thy whole heart, and forget not the sorrows of thy mother. | ἐξίχνευσον καὶ ζήτησον, καὶ γνωσθήσεταί σοι, καὶ ἐγκρατὴς γενόμενος μὴ ἀφῇς αὐτήν· |
|
28
|
28
|
| Remember that thou wast begotten of them; and how canst thou recompense them the things that they have done for thee? | ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτων γὰρ εὑρήσεις τὴν ἀνάπαυσιν αὐτῆς, καὶ στραφήσεταί σοι εἰς εὐφροσύνην. |
|
29
|
29
|
| Fear the Lord with all thy soul, and reverence his priests. | καὶ ἔσονταί σοι αἱ πέδαι εἰς σκέπην ἰσχύος καὶ οἱ κλοιοὶ αὐτῆς εἰς στολὴν δόξης. |
|
30
|
30
|
| Love him that made thee with all thy strength, and forsake not his ministers. | κόσμος γὰρ χρύσεός ἐστιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς, καὶ οἱ δεσμοὶ αὐτῆς κλῶσμα ὑακίνθινον· |
|
31
|
31
|
| Fear the Lord, and honour the priest: and give him his portion, as it is commanded thee: the firstfruits, and the trespass offering, and the gift of the shoulders, and the sacrifice of sanctification, and the firstfruits of the holy things. | στολὴν δόξης ἐνδύσῃ αὐτήν, καὶ στέφανον ἀγαλλιάσεως περιθήσεις σεαυτῷ. |
|
32
|
32
|
| And stretch thine hand unto the poor, that thy blessing may be perfected. | ἐὰν θέλῃς, τέκνον, παιδευθήσῃ, καὶ ἐὰν δῷς τὴν ψυχήν σου, πανοῦργος ἔσῃ. |
|
33
|
33
|
| A gift hath grace in the sight of every man living; and for the dead detain it not. | ἐὰν ἀγαπήσῃς ἀκούειν, ἐκδέξῃ, καὶ ἐὰν κλίνῃς τὸ οὖς σου, σοφὸς ἔσῃ. |
|
34
|
34
|
| Fail not to be with them that weep, and mourn with them that mourn. | ἐν πλήθει πρεσβυτέρων στῆθι, καὶ τίς σοφός, αὐτῷ προσκολλήθητι. |
|
35
|
35
|
| Be not slow to visit the sick: for that shall make thee to be beloved. | πᾶσαν διήγησιν θείαν θέλε ἀκροᾶσθαι, καὶ παροιμίαι συνέσεως μὴ ἐκφευγέτωσάν σε. |
|
36
|
36
|
| Whatsoever thou takest in hand, remember the end, and thou shalt never do amiss. | ἐὰν ἴδῃς συνετόν, ὄρθριζε πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ βαθμοὺς θυρῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκτριβέτω ὁ πούς σου. |
