Chapter 17
|
|
1
|
1
|
| ΜΗ ἐπιθύμει τέκνων πλῆθος ἀχρήστων, μὴ εὐφραίνου ἐπὶ υἱοῖς ἀσεβέσιν. | The Lord created man of the earth, and turned him into it again. |
|
2
|
2
|
| ἐὰν πληθύνωσι, μὴ εὐφραίνου ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς, εἰ μή ἐστι φόβος Κυρίου μετ᾿ αὐτῶν. | He gave them few days, and a short time, and power also over the things therein. |
|
3
|
3
|
| μὴ ἐμπιστεύσῃς τῇ ζωῇ αὐτῶν καὶ μὴ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος αὐτῶν· κρείσσων γὰρ εἷς ἢ χίλιοι, καὶ ἀποθανεῖν ἄτεκνον ἢ ἔχειν τέκνα ἀσεβῆ. | He endued them with strength by themselves, and made them according to his image, |
|
4
|
4
|
| ἀπὸ γὰρ ἑνὸς συνετοῦ συνοικισθήσεται πόλις, φυλὴ δὲ ἀνόμων ἐρημωθήσεται. | and put the fear of man upon all flesh, and gave him dominion over beasts and fowls. |
|
5
|
|
| πολλὰ τοιαῦτα ἑώρακα ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου, καὶ ἰσχυρότερα τούτων ἀκήκοε τὸ οὖς μου. | |
|
6
|
6
|
| ἐν συναγωγῇ ἁμαρτωλῶν ἐκκαυθήσεται πῦρ, καὶ ἐν ἔθνει ἀπειθεῖ ἐξεκαύθη ὀργή. | Counsel, and a tongue, and eyes, ears, and a heart, gave he them to understand. |
|
7
|
7
|
| οὐκ ἐξιλάσατο περὶ τῶν ἀρχαίων γιγάντων, οἳ ἀπέστησαν τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτῶν· | Withal he filled them with the knowledge of understanding, and shewed them good and evil. |
|
8
|
8
|
| οὐκ ἐφείσατο περὶ τῆς παροικίας Λώτ, οὓς ἐβδελύξατο διὰ τὴν ὑπερηφανίαν αὐτῶν· | He set his eye upon their hearts, that he might shew them the greatness of his works; |
|
9
|
|
| οὐκ ἠλέησεν ἔθνος ἀπωλείας, τοὺς ἐξῃρμένους ἐν ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν· | |
|
10
|
10
|
| καὶ οὕτως ἑξακοσίας χιλιάδας πεζῶν τοὺς ἐπισυναχθέντας ἐν σκληροκαρδίᾳ αὐτῶν. | and they shall praise his holy name, that they may search out his marvellous works. |
|
11
|
11
|
| κἂν ᾖ εἷς σκληροτράχηλος, θαυμαστὸν τοῦτο εἰ ἀθωωθήσεται· ἔλεος γὰρ καὶ ὀργὴ παρ᾿ αὐτῷ, δυνάστης ἐξιλασμῶν καὶ ἐκχέων ὀργήν. | Beside this he gave them knowledge, and the law of life for an heritage. |
|
12
|
12
|
| κατὰ τὸ πολὺ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ, οὕτως καὶ πολὺς ὁ ἔλεγχος αὐτοῦ· ἄνδρα κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ κρίνει. | He made an everlasting covenant with them, and shewed them his judgments. |
|
13
|
13
|
| οὐκ ἐκφεύξεται ἐν ἁρπάγμασιν ἁμαρτωλός, καὶ οὐ μὴ καθυστερήσῃ ὑπομονὴν εὐσεβοῦς. | Their eyes saw the majesty of his glory, and their ears heard his glorious voice. |
|
14
|
14
|
| πάσῃ ἐλεημοσύνῃ ποιήσει τόπον, ἕκαστος κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει. [ | And he said unto them, Beware of all unrighteousness; and he gave every man commandment concerning his neighbour. |
|
15
|
15
|
| Κύριος ἐσκλήρυνε Φαραὼ μὴ εἰδέναι αὐτόν, ὅπως ἂν γνωσθῇ ἐνεργήματα αὐτοῦ τῇ ὑπ’ οὐρανόν. | Their ways are ever before him, and shall not be hid from his eyes. |
|
16
|
|
| πάσῃ τῇ κτίσει τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ φανερόν, καὶ τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ σκότος ἐμέρισε τῷ ἀδάμαντι]. | |
|
17
|
17
|
| μὴ εἴπῃς, ὅτι ἀπὸ Κυρίου κρυβήσομαι, μὴ ἐξ ὕψους τίς μου μνησθήσεται; ἐν λαῷ πλείονι οὐ μὴ γνωσθῶ, τίς γὰρ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν ἀμετρήτῳ κτίσει; | For in the division of the nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord's portion: |
|
18
|
|
| ἰδοὺ ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἄβυσσος καὶ γῆ σαλευθήσονται ἐν τῇ ἐπισκοπῇ αὐτοῦ. | |
|
19
|
19
|
| ἅμα τὰ ὄρη καὶ τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς ἐν τῷ ἐπιβλέψαι εἰς αὐτὰ τρόμῳ συσσείονται, | Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways. |
|
20
|
20
|
| καὶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς οὐ διανοηθήσεται καρδία· καὶ τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ τίς ἐνθυμηθήσεται; | None of their unrighteous deeds are hid from him, but all their sins are before the Lord. |
|
21
|
|
| καὶ καταιγίς, ἣν οὐκ ὄψεται ἄνθρωπος, τὰ δὲ πλείονα τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀποκρύφοις. | |
|
22
|
22
|
| ἔργα δικαιοσύνης τίς ἀναγγελεῖ ἢ τίς ὑπομενεῖ; μακρὰν γὰρ ἡ διαθήκη. | The alms of a man is as a signet with him, and he will keep the good deeds of man as the apple of the eye, and give repentance to his sons and daughters. |
|
23
|
23
|
| ἐλαττούμενος καρδίᾳ διανοεῖται ταῦτα, καὶ ἀνὴρ ἄφρων καὶ πλανώμενος διανοεῖται μωρά. | Afterwards he will rise up and reward them, and render their recompence upon their heads. |
|
24
|
24
|
| ῎Ακουσόν μου, τέκνον, καὶ μάθε ἐπιστήμην καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν λόγων μου πρόσεχε τῇ καρδίᾳ σου. | But unto them that repent, he granted them return, and comforted those that failed in patience. |
|
25
|
25
|
| ἐκφανῶ ἐν σταθμῷ παιδείαν καὶ ἐν ἀκριβείᾳ ἀπαγγελῶ ἐπιστήμην. | Return unto the Lord, and forsake thy sins, make thy prayer before his face, and offend less. |
|
26
|
26
|
| ἐν κρίσει Κυρίου τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς, καὶ ἀπὸ ποιήσεως αὐτῶν διέστειλε μερίδας αὐτῶν. | Turn again to the most High, and turn away from iniquity: for he will lead thee out of darkness into the light of health, and hate thou abomination vehemently. |
|
27
|
27
|
| ἐκόσμησεν εἰς αἰῶνα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς ἀρχὰς αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν· οὔτε ἐπείνασαν οὔτε ἐκοπίασαν καὶ οὐκ ἐξέλιπον ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῶν· | Who shall praise the most High in the grave, instead of them which live and give thanks? |
|
28
|
28
|
| ἕκαστος τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξέθλιψε, καὶ ἕως αἰῶνος οὐκ ἀπειθήσουσι τοῦ ρήματος αὐτοῦ. | Thanksgiving perisheth from the dead, as from one that is not: the living and sound in heart shall praise the Lord. |
|
29
|
29
|
| καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα Κύριος εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐπέβλεψε καὶ ἐνέπλησεν αὐτὴν τῶν ἀγαθῶν αὐτοῦ· | How great is the lovingkindness of the Lord our God, and his compassion unto such as turn unto him in holiness! |
|
30
|
30
|
| ψυχὴν παντὸς ζῴου ἐκάλυψε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς, καὶ εἰς αὐτὴν ἡ ἀποστροφὴ αὐτῶν. | For all things cannot be in men, because the son of man is not immortal. |
