Chapter 19
|
|
1
|
1
|
| Ο ΖΩΝ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔκτισε τὰ πάντα κοινῇ· | A labouring man that is given to drunkenness shall not be rich: and he that contemneth small things shall fall by little and little. |
|
2
|
2
|
| Κύριος μόνος δικαιωθήσεται. [καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἄλλος πλὴν αὐτοῦ | Wine and women will make men of understanding to fall away: and he that cleaveth to harlots will become impudent. |
|
3
|
3
|
| οἰακίζων τὸν κόσμον ἐν σπιθαμῇ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα ὑπακούει τῷ θελήματι αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς γὰρ βασιλεὺς πάντων ἐν κράτει αὐτοῦ, διαστέλλων ἐν αὐτοῖς ἅγια ἀπὸ βεβήλων]. | Moths and worms shall have him to heritage, and a bold man shall be taken away. |
|
4
|
4
|
| οὐθενὶ ἐξεποίησεν ἐξαγγεῖλαι τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ· καὶ τίς ἐξιχνιάσει τὰ μεγαλεῖα αὐτοῦ; | He that is hasty to give credit is light-minded; and he that sinneth shall offend against his own soul. |
|
5
|
5
|
| κράτος μεγαλωσύνης αὐτοῦ τίς ἐξαριθμήσεται; καὶ τίς προσθήσει ἐκδιηγήσασθαι τὰ ἐλέη αὐτοῦ; | Whoso taketh pleasure in wickedness shall be condemned: |
|
6
|
6
|
| οὐκ ἔστιν ἐλαττῶσαι οὐδὲ προσθεῖναι, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐξιχνιάσαι τὰ θαυμάσια τοῦ Κυρίου· | but he that hateth babbling hath less of evil. |
|
7
|
7
|
| ὅταν συντελέσῃ ἄνθρωπος, τότε ἄρχεται, καὶ ὅταν παύσηται, τότε ἀπορηθήσεται. | Rehearse not unto another that which is told unto thee, and thou shalt fare never the worse. |
|
8
|
8
|
| τί ἄνθωπος καὶ τί ἡ χρῆσις αὐτοῦ; τί τὸ ἀγαθὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τί τὸ κακὸν αὐτοῦ; | Whether it be to friend or foe, talk not of other men's lives; and if thou canst not without offence, reveal them not. |
|
9
|
9
|
| ἀριθμὸς ἡμερῶν ἀνθρώπου πολλὰ ἔτη ἑκατόν· | For he heard and observed thee, and when time cometh he will hate thee. |
|
10
|
10
|
| ὡς σταγὼν ὕδατος ἀπὸ θαλάσσης καὶ ψῆφος ἄμμου, οὕτως ὀλίγα ἔτη ἐν ἡμέρᾳ αἰῶνος. | If thou hast heard a word, let it die with thee; and be bold, it will not burst thee. |
|
11
|
11
|
| διὰ τοῦτο ἐμακροθύμησε Κύριος ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐξέχεεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ. | A fool travaileth with a word, as a woman in labour of a child. |
|
12
|
12
|
| εἶδε καὶ ἐπέγνω τὴν καταστροφὴν αὐτῶν ὅτι πονηρά· διὰ τοῦτο ἐπλήθυνε τὸν ἐξιλασμὸν αὐτοῦ. | As an arrow that sticketh in a man's thigh, so is a word within a fool's belly. |
|
13
|
13
|
| ἔλεος ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ, ἔλεος δὲ Κυρίου ἐπὶ πᾶσαν σάρκα· ἐλέγχων καὶ παιδεύων καὶ διδάσκων καὶ ἐπιστρέφων ὡς ποιμὴν τὸ ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ. | Admonish a friend, it may be he hath not done it: and if he have done it, that he do it no more. |
|
14
|
14
|
| τοὺς ἐκδεχομένους παιδείαν ἐλεᾷ καὶ τοὺς κατασπεύδοντας ἐπὶ τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ. | Admonish thy friend, it may be he hath not said it: and if he have, that he speak it not again. |
|
15
|
15
|
| Τέκνον, ἐν ἀγαθοῖς μὴ δῷς μῶμον καὶ ἐν πάσῃ δόσει λύπην λόγων. | Admonish a friend: for many times it is a slander, and believe not every tale. |
|
16
|
16
|
| οὐχὶ καύσωνα ἀναπαύσει δρόσος; οὕτως κρείσσων λόγος ἢ δόσις. | There is one that slippeth in his speech, but not from his heart; and who is he that hath not offended with his tongue? |
|
17
|
17
|
| οὐκ ἰδοὺ λόγος ὑπὲρ δόμα ἀγαθόν; καὶ ἀμφότερα παρὰ ἀνδρὶ κεχαριτωμένῳ. | Admonish thy neighbour before thou threaten him; and give place to the law of the most High. |
|
18
|
|
| μωρὸς ἀχαρίστως ὀνειδιεῖ, καὶ δόσις βασκάνου ἐκτήκει ὀφθαλμούς. | |
|
19
|
|
| πρὶν ἢ λαλῆσαι μάνθανε, καὶ πρὸ ἀρρωστίας θεραπεύου. | |
|
20
|
20
|
| πρὸ κρίσεως ἐξέταζε σεαυτόν, καὶ ἐν ὥρᾳ ἐπισκοπῆς εὑρήσεις ἐξιλασμόν. | The fear of the Lord is all wisdom; and in all wisdom is the performance of the law. |
|
21
|
|
| πρὶν ἀρρωστῆσαί σε ταπεινώθητι καὶ ἐν καιρῷ ἁμαρτημάτων δεῖξον ἐπιστροφήν. | |
|
22
|
22
|
| μὴ ἐμποδισθῇς τοῦ ἀποδοῦναι εὐχὴν εὐκαίρως, καὶ μὴ μείνῃς ἕως θανάτου δικαιωθῆναι. | The knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom, neither at any time the counsel of sinners prudence. |
|
23
|
23
|
| πρὶν εὔξασθαι, ἑτοίμασον σεαυτὸν καὶ μὴ γίνου ὡς ἄνθρωπος πειράζων τὸν Κύριον. | There is a wickedness, and the same an abomination; and there is a fool wanting in wisdom. |
|
24
|
24
|
| μνήσθητι θυμοῦ ἐν ἡμέραις τελευτῆς καὶ καιρὸν ἐκδικήσεως ἐν ἀποστροφῇ προσώπου. | He that hath small understanding, and feareth God, is better than one that hath much wisdom, and transgresseth the law of the most High. |
|
25
|
25
|
| μνήσθητι καιρὸν λιμοῦ ἐν καιρῷ πλησμονῆς, πτωχείαν καὶ ἔνδειαν ἐν ἡμέραις πλούτου. | There is an exquisite subtilty, and the same is unjust; and there is one that turneth aside to make judgment appear. |
|
26
|
26
|
| ἀπὸ πρωΐθεν ἕως ἑσπέρας μεταβάλλει καιρός, καὶ πάντα ἐστὶ ταχινὰ ἔναντι Κυρίου. | There is a wicked man that hangeth down his head sadly; but inwardly he is full of deceit, |
|
27
|
27
|
| ἄνθρωπος σοφὸς ἐν παντὶ εὐλαβηθήσεται καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις ἁμαρτιῶν προσέξει ἀπὸ πλημμελείας. | casting down his countenance, and making as if he heard not: where he is not known, he will do thee a mischief before thou be aware. |
|
28
|
28
|
| πᾶς συνετὸς ἔγνω σοφίαν καὶ τῷ εὑρόντι αὐτὴν δώσει ἐξομολόγησιν. | And if for want of power he be hindered from sinning, yet when he findeth opportunity he will do evil. |
|
29
|
29
|
| συνετοὶ ἐν λόγοις καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐσοφίσαντο καὶ ἀνώμβρησαν παροιμίας ἀκριβεῖς. ΕΓΚΡΑΤΕΙΑ ΨΥΧΗΣ.— | A man may be known by his look, and one that hath understanding by his countenance, when thou meetest him. |
|
30
|
30
|
| ᾿Οπίσω τῶν ἐπιθυμιῶν σου μὴ πορεύου καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὀρέξεών σου κωλύου. | A man's attire, and excessive laughter, and gait, shew what he is. |
|
31
|
|
| ἐὰν χορηγήσῃς τῇ ψυχῇ σου εὐδοκίαν ἐπιθυμίας, ποιήσει σε ἐπίχαρμα τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου. | |
|
32
|
|
| μὴ εὐφραίνου ἐπὶ πολλῇ τρυφῇ, μηδὲ προσδεθῇς συμβολῇ αὐτῆς. | |
|
33
|
|
| μὴ γίνου πτωχὸς συμβολοκοπῶν ἐκ δανεισμοῦ, καὶ οὐδέν σοί ἐστιν ἐν μαρσιπείῳ. |
