|
| ΚΡΕΙΣΣΩΝ ψωμὸς μεθ᾿ ἡδονῆς ἐν εἰρήνη ἢ οἶκος πλήρης πολλῶν ἀγαθῶν καὶ ἀδίκων θυμάτων μετὰ μάχης. | Better is a morsel with pleasure in peace, than a house full of many good things and unjust sacrifices, with strife. |

|
| οἰκέτης νοήμων κρατήσει δεσποτῶν ἀφρόνων, ἐν δὲ ἀδελφοῖς διελεῖται μέρη. | A wise servant shall have rule over foolish masters, and shall divide portions among brethren. |
|

|
| ὥσπερ δοκιμάζεται ἐν καμίνῳ ἄργυρος καὶ χρυσός, οὕτως ἐκλεκταὶ καρδίαι παρὰ Κυρίῳ. | As silver and gold are tried in a furnace, so are choice hearts with the Lord. |
|

|
4
|
| κακὸς ὑπακούει γλώσσης παρανόμων, δίκαιος δὲ οὐ προσέχει χείλεσι ψευδέσιν. | A bad man hearkens to the tongue of transgressors: but a righteous man attends not to false lips. |
|
5
|
5
|
| ὁ καταγελῶν πτωχοῦ παροξύνει τὸν ποιήσαντα αὐτόν, ὁ δὲ ἐπιχαίρων ἀπολλυμένῳ οὐκ ἀθῳωθήσεται· ὁ δὲ ἐπισπλαγχνιζόμενος ἐλεηθήσεται. | He that laughs at the poor provokes him that made him; and he that rejoices at the destruction of another shall not be held guiltless: but he that has compassion shall find mercy. |
|
6
|
6
|
| στέφανος γερόντων τέκνα τέκνων, καύχημα δὲ τέκνων πατέρες αὐτῶν. 6α τοῦ πιστοῦ ὅλος ὁ κόσμος τῶν χρημάτων, τοῦ δὲ ἀπίστου οὐδὲ ὀβολός. | Children's children are the crown of old men; and their fathers are the glory of children. |
|
7
|
7
|
| οὐχ ἁρμόσει ἄφρονι χείλη πιστά, οὐδὲ δικαίῳ χείλη ψευδῆ. | Faithful lips will not suit a fool; nor lying lips a just man. |
|
8
|
8
|
| μισθὸς χαρίτων ἡ παιδεία τοῖς χρωμένοις, οὗ δ᾿ ἂν ἐπιστρέψῃ εὐοδωθήσεται. | Instruction is to them that use it a gracious reward: and whithersoever it may turn, it shall prosper. |
|
9
|
9
|
| ὃς κρύπτει ἀδικήματα, ζητεῖ φιλίαν, ὃς δὲ μισεῖ κρύπτειν, διΐστησι φίλους καὶ οἰκείους. | He that conceals injuries seeks love; but he that hates to hide them separates friends and kindred. |
|
10
|
10
|
| συντρίβει ἀπειλὴ καρδίαν φρονίμου, ἄφρων δὲ μαστιγωθεὶς οὐκ αἰσθάνεται. | A threat breaks down the heart of a wise man; but a fool, though scourged, understands not. |
|
11
|
11
|
| ἀντιλογίας ἐγείρει πᾶς κακός, ὁ δὲ Κύριος ἄγγελον ἀνελεήμονα ἐκπέμψει αὐτῷ. | Every bad man stirs up strifes: but the Lord will send out against him an unmerciful messenger. |
|
12
|
12
|
| ἐμπεσεῖται μέριμνα ἀνδρὶ νοήμονι, οἱ δὲ ἄφρονες διαλογιοῦνται κακά. | Care may befall a man of understanding; but fools will meditate evils. |
|
13
|
13
|
| ὃς ἀποδίδωσι κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν, οὐ κινηθήσεται κακὰ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ. | Whoso rewards evil for good, evil shall not be removed from his house. |
|
14
|
14
|
| ἐξουσίαν δίδωσι λόγοις ἀρχὴ δικαιοσύνης, προηγεῖται δὲ τῆς ἐνδείας στάσις καὶ μάχη. | Rightful rule gives power to words; but sedition and strife precede poverty. |
|
15
|
15
|
| ὃς δίκαιον κρίνει τὸν ἄδικον, ἄδικον δὲ τὸν δίκαιον, ἀκάθαρτος καὶ βδελυκτὸς παρὰ Θεῷ. | He that pronounces the unjust just, and the just unjust, is unclean and abominable with God. |
|
16
|
16
|
| ἱνατί ὑπῆρξε χρήματα ἄφρονι; κτήσασθαι γὰρ σοφίαν ἀκάρδιος οὐ δυνήσεται. 16α ὃς ὑψηλὸν ποιεῖ τὸν ἑαυτοῦ οἶκον, ζητεῖ συντριβήν, ὁ δὲ σκολιάζων τοῦ μαθεῖν ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς κακά. | Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. |
|
17
|
17
|
| εἰς πάντα καιρὸν φίλος ὑπαρχέτω σοι, ἀδελφοὶ δὲ ἐν ἀνάγκαις χρήσιμοι ἔστωσαν· τούτου γὰρ χάριν γεννῶνται. | Have thou a friend for every time, and let brethren be useful in distress; for on this account are they born. |
|
18
|
18
|
| ἀνὴρ ἄφρων ἐπικροτεῖ καὶ ἐπιχαίρει ἑαυτῷ, ὡς καὶ ὁ ἐγγυώμενος ἐγγύῃ τῶν ἑαυτοῦ φίλων. | A foolish man applauds and rejoices over himself, as he also that becomes surety would make himself responsible for his own friends. |
|
19
|
19
|
| φιλαμαρτήμων χαίρει μάχαις, [ὑψῶν δὲ θύραν αὐτοῦ ζητεῖ συντριβήν]. | A lover of sin rejoices in strifes; |
|
20
|
20
|
| ὁ δὲ σκληροκάρδιος οὐ συναντᾷ ἀγαθοῖς. ἀνὴρ εὐμετάβολος γλώσσῃ ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς κακά, | and the hard-hearted man comes not in for good. A man of a changeful tongue will fall into mischiefs; |
|
21
|
21
|
| καρδία δὲ ἄφρονος ὀδύνη τῷ κεκτημένῳ αὐτήν. οὐκ εὐφραίνεται πατὴρ ἐπὶ υἱῷ ἀπαιδεύτῳ, υἱὸς δὲ φρόνιμος εὐφραίνει μητέρα αὐτοῦ. | and the heart of a fool is grief to its possessor. A father rejoices not over an uninstructed son; but a wise son gladdens his mother. |
|
22
|
22
|
| καρδία εὐφραινομένη εὐεκτεῖν ποιεῖ, ἀνδρὸς δὲ λυπηροῦ ξηραίνεται τὰ ὀστᾶ. | A glad heart promotes health; but the bones of a sorrowful man dry up. |
|
23
|
23
|
| λαμβάνοντος δῶρα ἀδίκως ἐν κόλποις οὐ κατευοδοῦνται ὁδοί, ἀσεβὴς δὲ ἐκκλίνει ὁδοὺς δικαιοσύνης. | The ways of a man who unjustly receives gifts in his bosom do not prosper; and an ungodly man perverts the ways of righteousness. |
|
24
|
24
|
| πρόσωπον συνετὸν ἀνδρὸς σοφοῦ, οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ τοῦ ἄφρονος ἐπ᾿ ἄκρα γῆς. | The countenance of a wise man is sensible; but the eyes of a fool go to the ends of the earth. |
|
25
|
25
|
| ὀργὴ πατρὶ υἱὸς ἄφρων καὶ ὀδύνη τῇ τεκούσῃ αὐτόν. | A foolish son is a cause of anger to his father, and grief to her that bore him. |
|
26
|
26
|
| ζημιοῦν ἄνδρα δίκαιον οὐ καλόν, οὐδὲ ὅσιον ἐπιβουλεύειν δυνάσταις δικαίοις. | It is not right to punish a righteous man, nor is it holy to plot against righteous princes. |
|
27
|
27
|
| ὃς φείδεται ρῆμα προέσθαι σκληρόν, ἐπιγνώμων, μακρόθυμος δὲ ἀνὴρ φρόνιμος. | He that forbears to utter a hard word is discreet, and a patient man is wise. |
|
28
|
28
|
| ἀνοήτῳ ἐπερωτήσαντι σοφίαν σοφία λογισθήσεται, ἐνεὸν δέ τις ἑαυτὸν ποιήσας δόξει φρόνιμος εἶναι. | Wisdom shall be imputed to a fool who asks after wisdom: and he who holds his peace shall seem to be sensible. |
