Κεφάλαιο 8
|
|
1
|
1
|
| Strive not with a mighty man, lest thou fall into his hands. | ΜΗ ποίει κακά, καὶ οὐ μή σε καταλάβῃ κακόν· |
|
2
|
2
|
| Be not at variance with a rich man, lest he overweigh thee: for gold hath destroyed many, and perverted the hearts of kings. | ἀπόστηθι ἀπὸ ἀδίκου, καὶ ἐκκλινεῖ ἀπὸ σοῦ. |
|
3
|
3
|
| Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire. | υἱέ, μὴ σπεῖρε ἐπ᾿ αὔλακας ἀδικίας, καὶ οὐ μὴ θερίσῃς αὐτὰς ἑπταπλασίως. |
|
4
|
4
|
| Jest not with a rude man, lest thy ancestors be disgraced. | μὴ ζήτει παρὰ Κυρίου ἡγεμονίαν, μηδὲ παρὰ βασιλέως καθέδραν δόξης. |
|
5
|
5
|
| Reproach not a man that turneth from sin, but remember that we are all worthy of punishment. | μὴ δικαιοῦ ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ παρὰ βασιλεῖ μὴ σοφίζου. |
|
6
|
6
|
| Dishonour not a man in his old age: for even some of us wax old. | μὴ ζήτει γενέσθαι κριτής, μὴ οὐκ ἐξισχύσεις ἐξᾶραι ἀδικίας· μή ποτε εὐλαβηθῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου δυνάστου καὶ θήσεις σκάνδαλον ἐν εὐθύτητί σου. |
|
7
|
7
|
| Rejoice not over thy greatest enemy being dead, but remember that we die all. | μὴ ἁμάρτανε εἰς πλῆθος πόλεως καὶ μὴ καταβάλῃς σεαυτὸν ἐν ὄχλῳ. |
|
8
|
8
|
| Despise not the discourse of the wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs: for of them thou shalt learn instruction, and how to serve great men with ease. | μὴ καταδεσμεύσῃς δὶς ἁμαρτίαν, ἐν γὰρ τῇ μιᾷ οὐκ ἀθῷος ἔσῃ. |
|
9
|
9
|
| Miss not the discourse of the elders: for they also learned of their fathers, and of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give answer as need requireth. | μὴ εἴπῃς· τῷ πλήθει τῶν δώρων μου ἐπόψεται καὶ ἐν τῷ προσενέγκαι με Θεῷ ῾Υψίστῳ προσδέξεται. |
|
10
|
10
|
| Kindle not the coals of a sinner, lest thou be burnt with the flame of his fire. | μὴ ὀλιγοψυχήσῃς ἐν τῇ προσευχῇ σου καὶ ἐλεημοσύνην ποιῆσαι μὴ παρίδῃς. |
|
11
|
11
|
| Rise not up in anger at the presence of an injurious person, lest he lie in wait to entrap thee in thy words. | μὴ καταγέλα ἄνθρωπον ὄντα ἐν πικρίᾳ ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ, ἔστι γὰρ ὁ ταπεινῶν καὶ ἀνυψῶν. |
|
12
|
12
|
| Lend not unto him that is mightier than thyself; for if thou lendest him, count it but lost. | μὴ ἀροτρία ψεῦδος ἐπ᾿ ἀδελφῷ σου, μηδὲ φίλῳ τὸ ὅμοιον ποίει. |
|
13
|
13
|
| Be not surety above thy power: for if thou be surety, take care to pay it. | μὴ θέλε ψεύδεσθαι πᾶν ψεῦδος, ὁ γὰρ ἐνδελεχισμὸς αὐτοῦ οὐκ εἰς ἀγαθόν. |
|
14
|
14
|
| Go not to law with a judge; for they will judge for him according to his honour. | μὴ ἀδελέσχει ἐν πλήθει πρεσβυτέρων καὶ μὴ δευτερώσῃς λόγον ἐν προσευχῇ σου. |
|
15
|
15
|
| Travel not by the way with a bold fellow, lest he become grievous unto thee: for he will do according to his own will, and thou shalt perish with him through his folly. | μὴ μισήσῃς ἐπίπονον ἐργασίαν καὶ γεωργίαν ὑπὸ ῾Υψίστου ἐκτισμένην. |
|
16
|
16
|
| Strive not with an angry man, and go not with him into a solitary place: for blood is as nothing in his sight; and where there is no help, he will overthrow thee. | μὴ προσλογίζου σεαυτὸν ἐν πλήθει ἁμαρτωλῶν. μνήσθητι ὅτι ὀργὴ οὐ χρονιεῖ. |
|
17
|
17
|
| Consult not with a fool; for he cannot keep counsel. | ταπείνωσον σφόδρα τὴν ψυχήν σου, ὅτι ἐκδίκησις ἀσεβοῦς πῦρ καὶ σκώληξ. |
|
18
|
18
|
| Do no secret thing before a stranger: for thou knowest not what he will bring forth. | Μὴ ἀλλάξῃς φίλον ἕνεκεν διαφόρου, μηδ᾿ ἀδελφὸν γνήσιον ἐν χρυσίῳ Σουφείρ. |
|
19
|
19
|
| Open not thine heart to every man, lest he requite thee with a shrewd turn. | μὴ ἀστόχει γυναικὸς σοφῆς καὶ ἀγαθῆς, ἡ γὰρ χάρις αὐτῆς ὑπὲρ τὸ χρυσίον. |
