|
| 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
|
|
| ἀλήθειαν κτῆσαι καὶ μὴ ἀπώσῃ σοφίαν καὶ παιδείαν καὶ σύνεσιν. | |
|
24
|
24
|
| καλῶς ἐκτρέφει πατὴρ δίκαιος, ἐπὶ δὲ υἱῷ σοφῷ εὐφραίνεται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ. | A righteous father brings up his children well; and his soul rejoices over a wise son. |
|
25
|
25
|
| εὐφραινέσθω ὁ πατὴρ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ ἐπὶ σοί, καὶ χαιρέτω ἡ τεκοῦσά σε. | Let thy father and thy mother rejoice over thee, and let her that bore thee be glad. |
|
26
|
26
|
| δός μοι, υἱέ, σὴν καρδίαν, οἱ δὲ σοὶ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἐμὰς ὁδοὺς τηρείτωσαν· | My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. |
|
27
|
27
|
| πίθος γὰρ τετρημένος ἐστὶν ἀλλότριος οἶκος, καὶ φρέαρ στενὸν ἀλλότριον· | For a strange house is a vessel full of holes; and a strange well is narrow. |
|
28
|
28
|
| οὗτος γὰρ συντόμως ἀπολεῖται, καὶ πᾶς παράνομος ἀναλωθήσεται. | For such a one shall perish suddenly; and every transgressor shall be cut off. |
|
29
|
29
|
| τίνι οὐαί; τίνι θόρυβος; τίνι κρίσεις; τίνι δὲ ἀηδίαι καὶ λέσχαι; τίνι συντρίμματα διακενῆς; τίνος πελιδνοὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοί; | Who has woe? who trouble? who has quarrels? and who vexations and disputes? who has bruises without a cause? whose eyes are livid? |
|
30
|
30
|
| οὐ τῶν ἐγχρονιζόντων ἐν οἴνοις; οὐ τῶν ἰχνευόντων ποῦ πότοι γίνονται; | 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. |
|
31
|
31
|
| 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. | For if thou shouldest set thine eyes on bowls and cups, thou shalt afterwards go more naked than a pestle. |
|
32
|
32
|
| τὸ δὲ ἔσχατον ὥσπερ ὑπὸ ὄφεως πεπληγὼς ἐκτείνεται, καὶ ὥσπερ ὑπὸ κεράστου διαχεῖται αὐτῷ ὁ ἰός. | 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. |
|
33
|
33
|
| οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ὅταν ἴδωσιν ἀλλοτρίαν, τὸ στόμα σου τότε λαλήσει σκολιά, | Whenever thine eyes shall behold a strange woman, then thy mouth shall speak perverse things. |
|
34
|
34
|
| καὶ κατακείσῃ ὥσπερ ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης καὶ ὥσπερ κυβερνήτης ἐν πολλῷ κλύδωνι. | And thou shalt lie as in the midst of the sea, and as a pilot in a great storm. |
|
35
|
35
|
| ἐρεῖς δέ· τύπτουσί με καὶ οὐκ ἐπόνεσα, καὶ ἐνέπαιξάν μοι, ἐγὼ δὲ οὐκ ᾔδειν· πότε ὄρθρος ἔσται, ἵνα ἐλθὼν ζητήσω μεθ᾿ ὧν συνελεύσομαι; | 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? |
