Again, one preparing himself to sail, and about to pass through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood more rotten than the vessel that carrieth him.
|
Πλοῦν τις πάλιν στελλόμενος καὶ ἄγρια μέλλων διοδεύειν κύματα, τοῦ φέροντος αὐτὸν πλοίου σαθρότερον ξύλον ἐπιβοᾶται.

For verily desire of gain devised that, and the workman built it by his skill.
|
ἐκεῖνο μὲν γὰρ ὄρεξις πορισμῶν ἐπενόησε, τεχνῖτις δὲ σοφίᾳ κατεσκεύασεν·
|

|
|
But thy providence, O Father, governeth it: for thou hast made a way in the sea, and a safe path in the waves;
|
ἡ δὲ σή, πάτερ, διακυβερνᾷ πρόνοια, ὅτι ἔδωκας καὶ ἐν θαλάσσῃ ὁδὸν καὶ ἐν κύμασι τρίβον ἀσφαλῆ,
|

|
shewing that thou canst save from all danger: yea, though a man went to sea without art.
|
δεικνὺς ὅτι δύνασαι ἐκ παντὸς σώζειν, ἵνα κἂν ἄνευ τέχνης τις ἐπιβῇ.

|
Nevertheless thou wouldest not that the works of thy wisdom should be idle, and therefore do men commit their lives to a small piece of wood, and passing the rough sea in a weak vessel are saved.
|
θέλεις δὲ μή ἀργὰ εἶναι τὰ τῆς σοφίας σου ἔργα, διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ἐλαχίστῳ ξύλῳ πιστεύουσιν ἄνθρωποι ψυχὰς καὶ διελθόντες κλύδωνα σχεδίᾳ διεσώθησαν.
|

|
|
For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by thy hand escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation.
|
καὶ ἀρχῆς γὰρ ἀπολλυμένων ὑπερηφάνων γιγάντων, ἡ ἐλπὶς τοῦ κόσμου ἐπὶ σχεδίας καταφυγοῦσα ἀπέλιπεν αἰῶνι σπέρμα γενέσεως τῇ σῇ κυβερνηθεῖσα χειρί.

|
|
For blessed is the wood whereby righteousness cometh.
|
εὐλόγηται γὰρ ξύλον, δι᾿ οὗ γίνεται δικαιοσύνη·
|
|

|
|
But that which is made with hands is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he, because he made it: and it, because, being corruptible, it was called God.
|
τὸ χειροποίητον δέ, ἐπικατάρατον αὐτὸν καὶ ὁ ποιήσας αὐτό, ὅτι ὁ μὲν εἰργάζετο, τὸ δὲ φθαρτὸν θεὸς ὠνομάσθη.
|
|

|
|
For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hateful unto God.
|
ἐν ἴσῳ γὰρ μισητὰ Θεῷ καὶ ὁ ἀσεβῶν καὶ ἡ ἀσέβεια αὐτοῦ·
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
For that which is made shall be punished together with him that made it.
|
καὶ γὰρ τὸ πραχθὲν σὺν τῷ δράσαντι κολασθήσεται.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
Therefore even upon the idols of the Gentiles shall there be a visitation: because in the creature of God they are become an abomination, and stumblingblocks to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise.
|
διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ἐν εἰδώλοις ἐθνῶν ἐπισκοπὴ ἔσται, ὅτι ἐν κτίσματι Θεοῦ εἰς βδέλυγμα ἐγενήθησαν καὶ εἰς σκάνδαλα ψυχαῖς ἀνθρώπων καὶ εἰς παγίδα ποσὶν ἀφρόνων.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
For the devising of idols was the beginning of spiritual fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life.
|
᾿Αρχὴ γὰρ πορνείας ἐπίνοια εἰδώλων, εὕρεσις δὲ αὐτῶν φθορὰ ζωῆς.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever.
|
οὔτε γὰρ ἦν ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς, οὔτε εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔσται·
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
For by the vain glory of men they entered into the world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end.
|
κενοδοξίᾳ γὰρ ἀνθρώπων εἰσῆλθεν εἰς κόσμον, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο σύντομον αὐτῶν τέλος ἐπενοήθη.
|
|

|
For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he hath made an image of his child soon taken away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.
|
ἀώρῳ γὰρ πένθει τρυχόμενος πατήρ, τοῦ ταχέως ἀφαιρεθέντος τέκνου εἰκόνα ποιήσας, τὸν τότε νεκρὸν ἄνθρωπον νῦν ὡς Θεὸν ἐτίμησε καὶ παρέδωκε τοῖς ὑποχειρίοις μυστήρια καὶ τελετάς.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
Thus in process of time an ungodly custom grown strong was kept as a law, and graven images were worshipped by the commandments of kings.
|
εἶτα ἐν χρόνῳ κρατυνθὲν τὸ ἀσεβὲς ἔθος ὡς νόμος ἐφυλάχθη, καὶ τυράννων ἐπιταγαῖς ἐθρησκεύετο τὰ γλυπτά,
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
Whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they took the counterfeit of his visage from far, and made an express image of a king whom they honoured, to the end that by this their forwardness they might flatter him that was absent, as if he were present.
|
οὓς ἐν ὄψει μὴ δυνάμενοι τιμᾶν ἄνθρωποι διὰ τὸ μακρὰν οἰκεῖν, τὴν πόρρωθεν ὄψιν ἀνατυπωσάμενοι, ἐμφανῆ εἰκόνα τοῦ τιμωμένου βασιλέως ἐποίησαν, ἵνα τὸν ἀπόντα ὡς παρόντα κολακεύωσι διὰ τῆς σπουδῆς.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
Also the singular diligence of the artificer did help to set forward the ignorant to more superstition.
|
εἰς ἐπίτασιν δὲ θρησκείας καὶ τοὺς ἀγνοοῦντας ἡ τοῦ τεχνίτου προετρέψατο φιλοτιμία·
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
For he, peradventure willing to please one in authority, forced all his skill to make the resemblance of the best fashion.
|
ὁ μὲν γὰρ τάχα τῷ κρατοῦντι βουλόμενος ἀρέσαι, ἐξεβιάσατο τῇ τέχνῃ τὴν ὁμοιότητα ἐπὶ τὸ κάλλιον·
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured as a man.
|
τὸ δὲ πλῆθος ἐφελκόμενον διὰ τὸ εὔχαρι τῆς ἐργασίας, τὸν πρὸ ὀλίγου τιμηθέντα ἄνθρωπον νῦν σέβασμα ἐλογίσαντο.
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
And this was an occasion to deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones and stocks the incommunicable name.
|
καὶ τοῦτο ἐγένετο τῷ βίῳ εἰς ἔνεδρον, ὅτι ἢ συμφορᾷ ἢ τυραννίδι δουλεύσαντες ἄνθρωποι τὸ ἀκοινώνητον ὄνομα λίθοις καὶ ξύλοις περιέθεσαν.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
Moreover this was not enough for them, that they erred in the knowledge of God; but whereas they lived in the great war of ignorance, those so great plagues called they peace.
|
Εἶτ᾿ οὐκ ἤρκεσε τὸ πλανᾶσθαι περὶ τὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ γνῶσιν, ἀλλὰ καὶ μεγάλῳ ζῶντες ἀγνοίας πολέμῳ τὰ τοσαῦτα κακὰ εἰρήνην προσαγορεύουσιν.
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
For whilst they slew their children in sacrifices, or used secret ceremonies, or made revellings of strange rites;
|
ἢ γὰρ τεκνοφόνους τελετὰς ἢ κρύφια μυστήρια ἢ ἐμμανεῖς ἐξ ἄλλων θεσμῶν κώμους ἄγοντες,
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
they kept neither lives nor marriages any longer undefiled: but either one slew another traiterously or grieved him by adultery.
|
οὔτε βίους οὔτε γάμους καθαροὺς ἔτι φυλάσσουσιν, ἕτερος δ᾿ ἕτερον ἢ λοχῶν ἀναιρεῖ ἢ νοθεύων ὀδυνᾷ.
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
So that there reigned in all men without exception, blood, manslaughter, theft, and dissimulation, corruption, unfaithfulness, tumults, perjury,
|
πάντας δ᾿ ἐπιμὶξ ἔχει αἷμα καὶ φόνος, κλοπὴ καὶ δόλος, φθορά, ἀπιστία, ταραχή, ἐπιορκία, θόρυβος ἀγαθῶν,
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
disquieting of good men, forgetfulness of good turns, defiling of souls, changing of kind, disorder in marriages, adultery, and shameless uncleanness.
|
χάριτος ἀμνησία, ψυχῶν μιασμός, γενέσεως ἐναλλαγή, γάμων ἀταξία, μοιχεία καὶ ἀσέλγεια.
|
|
27
|
27
|
|
For the worshipping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil.
|
ἡ γὰρ τῶν ἀνωνύμων εἰδώλων θρησκεία παντὸς ἀρχὴ κακοῦ καὶ αἰτία καὶ πέρας ἐστίν·
|
|
28
|
28
|
|
For either they are mad when they be merry, or prophesy lies, or live unjustly, or else lightly forswear themselves.
|
ἢ γὰρ εὐφραινόμενοι μεμήνασιν ἢ προφητεύουσι ψευδῆ ἢ ζῶσιν ἀδίκως ἢ ἐπιορκοῦσι ταχέως·
|
|
29
|
29
|
|
For insomuch as their trust is in idols which have no life, though they swear falsely, yet they look not to be hurt.
|
ἀψύχοις γὰρ πεποιθότες εἰδώλοις κακῶς ὀμόσαντες, ἀδικηθῆναι οὐ προσδέχονται.
|
|
30
|
30
|
|
Howbeit for both causes shall they be justly punished: both because they thought not well of God, giving heed unto idols, and also unjustly swore in deceit, despising holiness.
|
ἀμφότερα δὲ αὐτοὺς μετελεύσεται τὰ δίκαια, ὅτι κακῶς ἐφρόνησαν περὶ Θεοῦ προσχόντες εἰδώλοις καὶ ἀδίκως ὤμοσαν ἐν δόλῳ καταφρονήσαντες ὁσιότητος·
|
|
31
|
31
|
|
For it is not the power of them by whom they swear: but it is the just vengeance of sinners, that punisheth always the offence of the ungodly.
|
οὐ γὰρ ἡ τῶν ὀμνυομένων δύναμις, ἀλλ᾿ ἡ τῶν ἁμαρτανόντων δίκη ἐπεξέρχεται ἀεὶ τὴν τῶν ἀδίκων παράβασιν.
