|
|
ΕΑΝ καθίσῃς δειπνεῖν ἐπὶ τραπέζης δυναστῶν, νοητῶς νόει τὰ παρατιθέμενά σοι
|
If thou sit to sup at the table of a prince, consider attentively the things set before thee:
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
καὶ ἐπίβαλλε τὴν χεῖρά σου, εἰδὼς ὅτι τοιαῦτά σε δεῖ παρασκευάσαι· εἰ δὲ ἀπληστότερος εἶ,
|
and apply thine hand, knowing that it behoves thee to prepare such meats: but if thou art very insatiable,
|
|
3
|
3
|
|
μὴ ἐπιθύμει τῶν ἐδεσμάτων αὐτοῦ, ταῦτα γὰρ ἔχεται ζωῆς ψευδοῦς.
|
desire not his provisions; for these belong to a false life.
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
μὴ παρεκτείνου πένης ὢν πλουσίῳ, τῇ δὲ σῇ ἐννοίᾳ ἀπόσχου.
|
If thou art poor, measure not thyself with a rich man; but refrain thyself in thy wisdom.
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
ἐὰν ἐπιστήσῃς τὸ σὸν ὄμμα πρὸς αὐτόν, οὐδαμοῦ φανεῖται· κατεσκεύασται γὰρ αὐτῷ πτέρυγες ὥσπερ ἀετοῦ, καὶ ὑποστρέφει εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ προεστηκότος αὐτοῦ.
|
If thou shouldest fix thine eye upon him, he will disappear; for wings like an eagle's are prepared for him, and he returns to the house of his master.
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
μὴ συνδείπνει ἀνδρὶ βασκάνῳ, μηδὲ ἐπιθύμει τῶν βρωμάτων αὐτοῦ·
|
Sup not with an envious man, neither desire thou his meats:
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
ὃν τρόπον γὰρ εἴ τις καταπίοι τρίχα, οὕτως ἐσθίει καὶ πίνει.
|
so he eats and drinks as if any one should swallow a hair, and do not bring him in to thyself, nor eat thy morsel with him:
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
μηδὲ πρός σε εἰσαγάγῃς αὐτὸν καὶ φάγῃς τὸν ψωμόν σου μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ· ἐξεμέσει γὰρ αὐτὸν καὶ λυμανεῖται τοὺς λόγους σου τοὺς καλούς.
|
for he will vomit it up, and spoil thy fair words.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
εἰς ὦτα ἄφρονος μηδὲν λέγε, μήποτε μυκτηρίσῃ τοὺς συνετοὺς λόγους σου.
|
Say nothing in the ears of a fool, lest at any time he sneer at thy wise words.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
μὴ μεταθῇς ὅρια αἰώνια, εἰς δὲ κτῆμα ὀρφανῶν μὴ εἰσέλθῃς·
|
Remove not the ancient landmarks; and enter not upon the possession of the fatherless:
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
ὁ γὰρ λυτρούμενος αὐτοὺς Κύριος κραταιός ἐστι καὶ κρινεῖ τὴν κρίσιν αὐτῶν μετὰ σοῦ.
|
for the Lord is their redeemer; he is mighty, and will plead their cause with thee.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
δὸς εἰς παιδείαν τὴν καρδίαν σου, τὰ δὲ ὦτά σου ἑτοίμασον λόγοις αἰσθήσεως.
|
Apply thine heart to instruction, and prepare thine ears for words of discretion.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
μὴ ἀπόσχῃ νήπιον παιδεύειν, ὅτι ἐὰν πατάξῃς αὐτὸν ράβδῳ, οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ·
|
Refrain not from chastening a child; for if thou beat him with the rod, he shall not die.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
σὺ μὲν γὰρ πατάξεις αὐτὸν ράβδῳ, τὴν δὲ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐκ θανάτου ρύσῃ.
|
For thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from death.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
υἱέ, ἐὰν σοφὴ γένηταί σου ἡ καρδία, εὐφρανεῖς καὶ τὴν ἐμὴν καρδίαν,
|
Son, if thy heart be wise, thou shalt also gladden my heart;
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
καὶ ἐνδιατρίψει λόγοις τὰ σὰ χείλη πρὸς τὰ ἐμὰ χείλη, ἐὰν ὀρθὰ ὦσι.
|
and thy lips shall converse with my lips, if they be right.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
μὴ ζηλούτω ἡ καρδία σου ἁμαρτωλούς, ἀλλὰ ἐν φόβῳ Κυρίου ἴσθι ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν·
|
Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
ἐὰν γὰρ τηρήσῃς αὐτά, ἔσται σοι ἔκγονα, ἡ δὲ ἐλπίς σου οὐκ ἀποστήσεται.
|
For if thou shouldest keep these things, thou shalt have posterity; and thine hope shall not be removed.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
ἄκουε, υἱέ, καὶ σοφὸς γίνου, καὶ κατεύθυνε ἐννοίας σῆς καρδίας·
|
Hear, my son, and be wise, and rightly direct the thoughts of thine heart.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
μὴ ἴσθι οἰνοπότης, μηδὲ ἐκτείνου συμβουλαῖς κρεῶν τε ἀγορασμοῖς·
|
Be not a wine-bibber, neither continue long at feasts, and purchases of flesh:
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
πᾶς γὰρ μέθυσος καὶ πορνοκόπος πτωχεύσει, καὶ ἐνδύσεται διερρηγμένα καὶ ρακώδη πᾶς ὑπνώδης.
|
for every drunkard and whoremonger shall be poor; and every sluggard shall clothe himself with tatters and ragged garments.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
ἄκουε, υἱέ, πατρὸς τοῦ γεννήσαντός σε καὶ μὴ καταφρόνει ὅτι γεγήρακέ σου ἡ μήτηρ.
|
Hearken, my son, to thy father which begot thee, and despise not thy mother because she is grown old.
|
|
23
|
24
|
|
ἀλήθειαν κτῆσαι καὶ μὴ ἀπώσῃ σοφίαν καὶ παιδείαν καὶ σύνεσιν.
|
A righteous father brings up his children well; and his soul rejoices over a wise son.
|
|
24
|
25
|
|
καλῶς ἐκτρέφει πατὴρ δίκαιος, ἐπὶ δὲ υἱῷ σοφῷ εὐφραίνεται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ.
|
Let thy father and thy mother rejoice over thee, and let her that bore thee be glad.
|
|
25
|
26
|
|
εὐφραινέσθω ὁ πατὴρ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ ἐπὶ σοί, καὶ χαιρέτω ἡ τεκοῦσά σε.
|
My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
|
|
26
|
27
|
|
δός μοι, υἱέ, σὴν καρδίαν, οἱ δὲ σοὶ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἐμὰς ὁδοὺς τηρείτωσαν·
|
For a strange house is a vessel full of holes; and a strange well is narrow.
|
|
27
|
28
|
|
πίθος γὰρ τετρημένος ἐστὶν ἀλλότριος οἶκος, καὶ φρέαρ στενὸν ἀλλότριον·
|
For such a one shall perish suddenly; and every transgressor shall be cut off.
|
|
28
|
29
|
|
οὗτος γὰρ συντόμως ἀπολεῖται, καὶ πᾶς παράνομος ἀναλωθήσεται.
|
Who has woe? who trouble? who has quarrels? and who vexations and disputes? who has bruises without a cause? whose eyes are livid?
|
|
29
|
30
|
|
τίνι οὐαί; τίνι θόρυβος; τίνι κρίσεις; τίνι δὲ ἀηδίαι καὶ λέσχαι; τίνι συντρίμματα διακενῆς; τίνος πελιδνοὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοί;
|
Are not those of them that stay long at wine? are not those of them that haunt the places where banquets are? Be not drunk with wine; but converse with just men, and converse with them openly.
|
|
30
|
31
|
|
οὐ τῶν ἐγχρονιζόντων ἐν οἴνοις; οὐ τῶν ἰχνευόντων ποῦ πότοι γίνονται;
|
For if thou shouldest set thine eyes on bowls and cups, thou shalt afterwards go more naked than a pestle.
|
|
31
|
32
|
|
μὴ μεθύσκεσθε ἐν οἴνοις, ἀλλὰ ὁμιλεῖτε ἀνθρώποις δικαίοις καὶ ὁμιλεῖτε ἐν περιπάτοις· ἐὰν γὰρ εἰς τὰς φιάλας καὶ τὰ ποτήρια δῷς τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου, ὕστερον περιπατήσεις γυμνότερος ὑπέρου.
|
But at last such a one stretches himself out as one smitten by a serpent, and venom is diffused through him as by a horned serpent.
|
|
32
|
33
|
|
τὸ δὲ ἔσχατον ὥσπερ ὑπὸ ὄφεως πεπληγὼς ἐκτείνεται, καὶ ὥσπερ ὑπὸ κεράστου διαχεῖται αὐτῷ ὁ ἰός.
|
Whenever thine eyes shall behold a strange woman, then thy mouth shall speak perverse things.
|
|
33
|
34
|
|
οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ὅταν ἴδωσιν ἀλλοτρίαν, τὸ στόμα σου τότε λαλήσει σκολιά,
|
And thou shalt lie as in the midst of the sea, and as a pilot in a great storm.
|
|
34
|
35
|
|
καὶ κατακείσῃ ὥσπερ ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης καὶ ὥσπερ κυβερνήτης ἐν πολλῷ κλύδωνι.
|
And thou shalt say, They smote me, and I was not pained; and they mocked me, and I knew it not: when will it be morning, that I may go and seek those with whom I may go in company?
|
|
35
|
|
|
ἐρεῖς δέ· τύπτουσί με καὶ οὐκ ἐπόνεσα, καὶ ἐνέπαιξάν μοι, ἐγὼ δὲ οὐκ ᾔδειν· πότε ὄρθρος ἔσται, ἵνα ἐλθὼν ζητήσω μεθ᾿ ὧν συνελεύσομαι;
