Chapter 16
|
|
1
|
1
|
| ΟΦΟΒΟΥΜΕΝΟΣ Κύριον ποιήσει αὐτό, καὶ ὁ ἐγκρατὴς τοῦ νόμου καταλήψεται αὐτήν· | Desire not a multitude of unprofitable children, neither delight in ungodly sons. |
|
2
|
2
|
| καὶ ὑπαντήσεται αὐτῷ ὡς μήτηρ καὶ ὡς γυνὴ παρθενίας προσδέξεται αὐτόν. | Though they multiply, rejoice not in them, except the fear of the Lord be with them. |
|
3
|
3
|
| ψωμιεῖ αὐτὸν ἄρτον συνέσεως καὶ ὕδωρ σοφίας ποτίσει αὐτόν. | Trust not thou in their life, neither respect their multitude: for one that is just is better than a thousand; and better it is to die without children, than to have them that are ungodly. |
|
4
|
4
|
| στηριχθήσεται ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν καὶ οὐ μὴ κλιθῇ, καὶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς ἐφέξει καὶ οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ· | For by one that hath understanding shall the city be replenished: but the kindred of the wicked shall speedily become desolate. |
|
5
|
5
|
| καὶ ὑψώσει αὐτὸν παρὰ τοὺς πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν μέσῳ ἐκκλησίας ἀνοίξει στόμα αὐτοῦ. | Many such things have I seen with mine eyes, and mine ear hath heard greater things than these. |
|
6
|
6
|
| εὐφροσύνην καὶ στέφανον ἀγαλλιάματος καὶ ὄνομα αἰώνιον κατακληρονομήσει. | In the congregation of the ungodly shall a fire be kindled; and in a rebellious nation wrath is set on fire. |
|
7
|
7
|
| οὐ μὴ καταλήψονται αὐτὴν ἄνθρωποι ἀσύνετοι, καὶ ἄνδρες ἁμαρτωλοὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδωσιν αὐτήν· | He was not pacified toward the old giants, who fell away in the strength of their foolishness. |
|
8
|
8
|
| μακράν ἐστιν ὑπερηφανίας, καὶ ἄνδρες ψεῦσται οὐ μὴ μνησθήσονται αὐτῆς. | Neither spared he the place where Lot sojourned, but abhorred them for their pride. |
|
9
|
9
|
| Οὐχ ὡραῖος αἶνος ἐν στόματι ἁμαρτωλοῦ, ὅτι οὐ παρὰ Κυρίου ἀπεστάλη· | He pitied not the people of perdition, who were taken away in their sins: |
|
10
|
10
|
| ἐν γὰρ σοφίᾳ ρηθήσεται αἶνος, καὶ ὁ Κύριος εὐοδώσει αὐτόν. | nor the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gathered together in the hardness of their hearts. |
|
11
|
11
|
| μὴ εἴπῃς ὅτι διὰ Κύριον ἀπέστην· ἃ γὰρ ἐμίσησεν, οὐ ποιήσεις. | And if there be one stiffnecked among the people, it is marvel if he escape unpunished: for mercy and wrath are with him; he is mighty to forgive and to pour out displeasure. |
|
12
|
12
|
| μὴ εἴπῃς ὅτι αὐτός με ἐπλάνησεν· οὐ γὰρ χρείαν ἔχει ἀνδρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ. | As his mercy is great, so is his correction also: he judgeth a man according to his works. |
|
13
|
13
|
| πᾶν βδέλυγμα ἐμίσησε Κύριος, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀγαπητὸν τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτόν. | The sinner shall not escape with his spoils: and the patience of the godly shall not be frustrate. |
|
14
|
14
|
| αὐτὸς ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἐποίησεν ἄνθρωπον καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὸν ἐν χειρὶ διαβουλίου αὐτοῦ. | Make way for every work of mercy: for every man shall find according to his works. |
|
15
|
|
| ἐὰν θέλῃς, συντηρήσεις ἐντολὰς καὶ πίστιν ποίησαι εὐδοκίας. | |
|
16
|
|
| παρέθηκέ σοι πῦρ καὶ ὕδωρ· οὗ ἐὰν θέλῃς, ἐκτενεῖς τὴν χεῖρά σου. | |
|
17
|
17
|
| ἔναντι ἀνθρώπων ἡ ζωὴ καὶ ὁ θάνατος, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν εὐδοκήσῃ, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ. | Say not thou, I will hide myself from the Lord: shall any remember me from above? I shall not be remembered among so many people: for what is my soul among such an infinite number of creatures? |
|
18
|
18
|
| ὅτι πολλὴ σοφία τοῦ Κυρίου· ἰσχυρὸς ἐν δυναστείᾳ καὶ βλέπων τὰ πάντα, | Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, the deep, and the earth, and all that therein is, shall be moved when he shall visit. |
|
19
|
19
|
| καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπιγνώσεται πᾶν ἔργον ἀνθρώπου. | The mountains also and foundations of the earth shall be shaken with trembling, when he looketh upon them. |
|
20
|
20
|
| καὶ οὐκ ἐνετείλατο οὐδενὶ ἀσεβεῖν καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκεν ἄνεσιν οὐδενὶ ἁμαρτάνειν. | No heart can think upon these things worthily: and who is able to conceive his ways? |
