|
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.
|
|

|

|
|
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. The faithful has the whole world full of wealth; but the faithless not even a farthing.
|
|
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. He that exalts his own house seeks ruin; and he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischiefs.
|
|
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.
