Chapter 15
|
|
1
|
1
|
|
ΜΑΚΑΡΙΟΣ ἀνήρ, ὣς οὐκ ὠλίσθησεν ἐν στόματι αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ κατενύγη ἐν λύπῃ ἁμαρτίας.
|
He that feareth the Lord will do good; and he that hath the knowledge of the law shall obtain her;
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
μακάριος οὗ οὐ κατέγνω ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὃς οὐκ ἔπεσεν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐλπίδος αὐτοῦ.
|
and as a mother shall she meet him, and receive him as a wife married of a virgin.
|
|
3
|
3
|
|
᾿Ανδρὶ μικρολόγῳ οὐ καλὸς ὁ πλοῦτος, καὶ ἀνθρώπῳ βασκάνῳ ἱνατί χρήματα;
|
With the bread of understanding shall she feed him, and give him the water of wisdom to drink.
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
ὁ συνάγων ἀπὸ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ συνάγει ἄλλοις, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς αὐτοῦ τρυφήσουσιν ἕτεροι.
|
He shall be stayed upon her, and shall not be moved; and shall rely upon her, and shall not be confounded.
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
ὁ πονηρὸς ἑαυτῷ τίνι ἀγαθὸς ἔσται; καὶ οὐ μὴ εὐφρανθήσεται ἐν τοῖς χρήμασιν αὐτοῦ.
|
She shall exalt him above his neighbours, and in the midst of the congregation shall she open his mouth.
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
τοῦ βασκαίνοντος ἑαυτὸν οὐκ ἔστι πονηρότερος, καὶ τοῦτο ἀνταπόδομα τῆς κακίας αὐτοῦ·
|
He shall find joy and a crown of gladness, and she shall cause him to inherit an everlasting name.
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
κἂν εὖ ποιῇ, ἐν λήθῃ ποιεῖ, καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτων ἐκφαίνει τὴν κακίαν αὐτοῦ.
|
But foolish men shall not attain unto her, and sinners shall not see her.
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
πονηρὸς ὁ βασκαίνων ὀφθαλμῷ, ἀποστρέφων πρόσωπον καὶ ὑπερορῶν ψυχάς.
|
For she is far from pride, and men that are liars cannot remember her.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
πλεονέκτου ὀφθαλμὸς οὐκ ἐμπίπλαται μερίδι, καὶ ἀδικία πονηρὰ ἀναξηραίνει ψυχήν.
|
Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner, for it was not sent him of the Lord.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
ὀφθαλμὸς πονηρὸς φθονερὸς ἐπ᾿ ἄρτῳ καὶ ἐλλιπὴς ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης αὐτοῦ.
|
For praise shall be uttered in wisdom, and the Lord will prosper it.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
Τέκνον, καθὼς ἐὰν ἔχῃς, εὖ ποίει σεαυτὸν καὶ προσφορὰς Κυρίῳ ἀξίως πρόσαγε.
|
Say not thou, It is through the Lord that I fell away: for thou oughtest not to do the things that he hateth.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
μνήσθητι ὅτι θάνατος οὐ χρονιεῖ καὶ διαθήκη ᾅδου οὐχ ὑπεδείχθη σοι·
|
Say not thou, He hath caused me to err: for he hath no need of the sinful man.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
πρίν σε τελευτῆσαι, εὖ ποίει φίλῳ καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἰσχύν σου ἔκτεινον καὶ δῷς αὐτῷ.
|
The Lord hateth all abomination; and they that fear God love it not.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
μὴ ἀφυστερήσῃς ἀπὸ ἀγαθῆς ἡμέρας, καὶ μερὶς ἐπιθυμίας ἀγαθῆς μή σε παρελθάτω.
|
He himself made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his counsel;
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
οὐχὶ ἑτέρῳ καταλείψεις τοὺς πόνους σου καὶ τοὺς κόπους σου εἰς διαίρεσιν κλήρου;
|
if thou wilt, to keep the commandments, and to perform acceptable faithfulness.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
δὸς καὶ λάβε καὶ ἀπάτησον τὴν ψυχήν σου, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ᾅδου ζητῆσαι τρυφήν.
|
He hath set fire and water before thee: stretch forth thy hand unto whether thou wilt.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
πᾶσα σὰρξ ὡς ἱμάτιον παλαιοῦται, ἡ γὰρ διαθήκη ἀπ᾿ αἰῶνος· θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ.
|
Before man is life and death; and whether he liketh shall be given him.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
ὡς φύλλον θάλλον ἐπὶ δένδρου δασέος, τὰ μὲν καταβάλλει, ἄλλα δὲ φύει, οὕτως γενεὰ σαρκὸς καὶ αἵματος, ἡ μὲν τελευτᾷ, ἑτέρα δὲ γεννᾶται.
|
For the wisdom of the Lord is great, and he is mighty in power, and beholdeth all things:
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
πᾶν ἔργον σηπόμενον ἐκλείπει, καὶ ὁ ἐργαζόμενος αὐτὸ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἀπελεύσεται.
|
and his eyes are upon them that fear him, and he knoweth every work of man.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
Μακάριος ἀνήρ, ὃς ἐν σοφίᾳ τελευτήσει καὶ ὃς ἐν συνέσει αὐτοῦ διαλεχθήσεται,
|
He hath commanded no man to do wickedly, neither hath he given any man licence to sin.
|
|
21
|
|
|
ὁ διανοούμενος τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῆς ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀποκρύφοις αὐτῆς νοηθήσεται.
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
ἔξελθε ὀπίσω αὐτῆς ὡς ἰχνευτής, καὶ ἐν ταῖς εἰσόδοις αὐτῆς ἐνέδρευε.
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
ὁ παρακύπτων διὰ τῶν θυρίδων αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν θυρωμάτων αὐτῆς ἀκροάσεται.
|
|
|
24
|
|
|
ὁ καταλύων σύνεγγυς τοῦ οἴκου αὐτῆς καὶ πήξει πάσσαλον ἐν τοῖς τοίχοις αὐτῆς,
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
στήσει τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ κατὰ χεῖρας αὐτῆς καὶ καταλύσει ἐν καταλύματι ἀγαθῶν·
|
|
|
26
|
|
|
θήσει τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ σκέπῃ αὐτῆς καὶ ὑπὸ τοὺς κλάδους αὐτῆς αὐλισθήσεται·
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
σκεπασθήσεται ὑπ᾿ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ καύματος καὶ ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτῆς καταλύσει.
|
