|
| ΜΗ καυχῶ τὰ εἰς αὔριον, οὐ γὰρ γινώσκεις τί τέξεται ἡ ἐπιοῦσα. | Boast not of to-morrow; for thou knowest not what the next day shall bring forth. |
|

|
| ἐγκωμιαζέτω σε ὁ πέλας καὶ μὴ τὸ σὸν στόμα, ἀλλότριος καὶ μὴ τὰ σὰ χείλη. | Let thy neighbour, and not thine own mouth, praise thee; a stranger, and not thine own lips. |
|

|
| βαρὺ λίθος καὶ δυσβάστακτον ἄμμος, ὀργὴ δὲ ἄφρονος βαρυτέρα ἀμφοτέρων. | A stone is heavy, and sand cumbersome; but a fool's wrath is heavier than both. |
|
4
|
4
|
| ἀνελεήμων θυμὸς καὶ ὀξεῖα ὀργή, ἀλλ᾿ οὐδένα ὑφίσταται ζῆλος. | Wrath is merciless, and anger sharp: but envy can bear nothing. |
|
5
|
5
|
| κρείσσους ἔλεγχοι ἀποκεκαλυμμένοι κρυπτομένης φιλίας. | Open reproofs are better than secret love. |
|
6
|
6
|
| ἀξιοπιστόστερά εἰσι τραύματα φίλου ἢ ἐκούσια φιλήματα ἐχθροῦ. | The wounds of a friend are more to be trusted than the spontaneous kisses of an enemy. |
|
7
|
7
|
| ψυχὴ ἐν πλησμονῇ οὖσα κηρίοις ἐμπαίζει, ψυχῇ δὲ ἐνδεεῖ καὶ τὰ πικρὰ γλυκέα φαίνεται. | A full soul scorns honeycombs; but to a hungry soul even bitter things appear sweet. |
|
8
|
8
|
| ὥσπερ ὅταν ὄρνεον καταπετασθῇ ἐκ τῆς ἰδίας νοσσιᾶς, οὕτως ἄνθρωπος δουλοῦται ὅταν ἀποξενωθῇ ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων τόπων. | As when a bird flies down from its own nest, so a man is brought into bondage whenever he estranges himself from his own place. |
|
9
|
9
|
| μύροις καὶ οἴνοις καὶ θυμιάμασι τέρπεται καρδία, καταρρήγνυται δὲ ὑπὸ συμπτωμάτων ψυχή. | The heart delights in ointments and wines and perfumes: but the soul is broken by calamities. |
|
10
|
10
|
| φίλον σὸν ἢ φίλον πατρῷον μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς, εἰς δὲ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου μὴ εἰσέλθης ἀτυχῶν· κρείσσων φίλος ἐγγὺς ἢ ἀδελφὸς μακρὰν οἰκῶν. | Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; and when thou art in distress go not into thy brother's house: better is a friend that is near than a brother living far off. |
|
11
|
11
|
| σοφὸς γίνου, υἱέ, ἵνα σου εὐφραίνηται ἡ καρδία, καὶ ἀπόστρεψον ἀπὸ σοῦ ἐπονειδίστους λόγους. | Son, be wise, that thy heart may rejoice; and remove thou from thyself reproachful words. |
|
12
|
12
|
| πανοῦργος κακῶν ἐπερχομένων ἀπεκρύβη, ἄφρονες δὲ ἐπελθόντες ζημίαν τίσουσιν. | A wise man, when evils are approaching, hides himself; but fools pass on, and will be punished. |
|
13
|
13
|
| ἀφελοῦ τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ, παρῆλθε γὰρ ὑβριστής, ὅστις τὰ ἀλλότρια λυμαίνεται. | Take away the man's garment, (for a scorner has passed by) whoever lays waste another's goods. |
|
14
|
14
|
| ὃς ἂν εὐλογῇ φίλον τὸ πρωΐ μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ, καταρωμένου οὐδὲν διαφέρειν δόξει. | Whosoever shall bless a friend in the morning with a loud voice, shall seem to differ nothing from one who curses him. |
|
15
|
15
|
| σταγόνες ἐκβάλλουσιν ἄνθρωπον ἐν ἡμέρᾳ χειμερινῇ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, ὡσαύτως καὶ γυνὴ λοίδορος ἐκ τοῦ ἱδίου οἴκου. | On a stormy day drops of rain drive a man out of his house; so also does a railing woman drive a man out of his own house. |
|
16
|
16
|
| Βορέας σκληρὸς ἄνεμος, ὀνόματι δὲ ἐπιδέξιος καλεῖται. | The north wind is sharp, but it is called by name propitious. |
|
17
|
17
|
| σίδηρος σίδηρον ὀξύνει, ἀνὴρ δὲ παροξύνει πρόσωπον ἑταίρου. | Iron sharpens iron; and a man sharpens his friend's countenance. |
|
18
|
18
|
| ὃς φυτεύει συκῆν φάγεται τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῆς, ὃς δὲ φυλάσσει τὸν ἑαυτοῦ κύριον, τιμηθήσεται. | He that plants a fig-tree shall eat the fruits of it: so he that waits on his own master shall be honoured. |
|
19
|
19
|
| ὥσπερ οὐκ ὅμοια πρόσωπα προσώποις, οὕτως οὐδὲ αἱ διάνοιαι τῶν ἀνθρώπων. | As faces are not like other faces, so neither are the thoughts of men. |
|
20
|
20
|
| ᾅδης καὶ ἀπώλεια οὐκ ἐμπίμπλανται, ὡσαύτως καὶ οἱ ὁφθαλμοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἄπληστοι. 20α βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ στηρίζων ὀφθαλμόν, καὶ οἱ ἀπαίδευτοι ἀκρατεῖς γλώσσῃ. | Hell and destruction are not filled; so also are the eyes of men insatiable. |
|
21
|
21
|
| δοκίμιον ἀργυρῷ καὶ χρυσῷ πύρωσις, ἀνὴρ δὲ δοκιμάζεται διὰ στόματος ἐγκωμιαζόντων αὐτόν. 21α καρδία ἀνόμου ἐκζητεῖ κακά, καρδία δὲ εὐθὴς ἐκζητεῖ γνῶσιν. | Fire is the trial for silver and gold; and a man is tried by the mouth of them that praise him. |
|
22
|
22
|
| ἐὰν μαστιγοῖς ἄφρονα ἐν μέσῳ συνεδρίου ἀτιμάζων, οὐ μὴ περιέλῃς τὴν ἀφροσύνην αὐτοῦ. | Though thou scourge a fool, disgracing him in the midst of the council, thou wilt still in no wise remove his folly from him. |
|
23
|
23
|
| γνωστῶς ἐπιγνώσῃ ψυχὰς ποιμνίου σου καὶ ἐπιστήσεις καρδίαν σου σαῖς ἀγέλαις· | Do thou thoroughly know the number of thy flock, and pay attention to thine herds. |
|
24
|
24
|
| ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀνδρὶ κράτος καὶ ἰσχύς, οὐδὲ παραδίδωσιν ἐκ γενεᾶς εἰς γενεάν. | For a man has not strength and power for ever; neither does he transmit it from generation to generation. |
|
25
|
25
|
| ἐπιμελοῦ τῶν ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ χλωρῶν καὶ κερεῖς πόαν, καὶ σύναγε χόρτον ὀρεινόν, | Take care of the herbage in the field, and thou shalt cut grass, and gather the mountain hay; |
|
26
|
26
|
| ἵνα ἔχῃς πρόβατα εἰς ἱματισμόν· τίμα πεδίον, ἵνα ὦσί σοι ἄρνες. | that thou mayest have wool of sheep for clothing: pay attention to the land, that thou mayest have lambs. |
|
27
|
27
|
| υἱέ, παρ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἔχεις ρήσεις ἰσχυρὰς εἰς τὴν ζωήν σου καὶ εἰς τὴν ζωὴν σῶν θεραπόντων. | My son, thou hast from me words very useful for thy life, and for the life of thy servants. |
