1
|
| ΠΑΣΑ σοφία παρὰ Κυρίου καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. | My son, if thou come to serve the Lord God, prepare thy soul for temptation. |
|
2
|
2
|
| ἄμμον θαλασσῶν καὶ σταγόνας ὑετοῦ καὶ ἡμέρας αἰῶνος τίς ἐξαριθμήσει; | Set thy heart aright, and constantly endure, and make not haste in time of trouble. |
|
3
|
3
|
| ὕψος οὐρανοῦ καὶ πλάτος γῆς καὶ ἄβυσσον καὶ σοφίαν τίς ἐξιχνιάσει; | Cleave unto him, and depart not away, that thou mayest be increased at thy last end. |
|
4
|
4
|
| προτέρα πάντων ἔκτισται σοφία καὶ σύνεσις φρονήσεως ἐξ αἰῶνος [ | Whatsoever is brought upon thee take cheerfully, and be patient when thou art changed to a low estate. |
|
5
|
5
|
| πηγὴ σοφίας λόγος Θεοῦ ἐν ὑψίστοις, καὶ αἱ πορεῖαι αὐτῆς ἐντολαὶ αἰώνιοι]. | For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity. |
|
6
|
6
|
| ρίζα σοφίας τίνι ἀπεκαλύφθη; καὶ τὰ πανουργεύματα αὐτῆς τίς ἔγνω; [ | Believe in him, and he will help thee; order thy way aright, and trust in him. |
|
7
|
7
|
| ἐπιστήμη σοφίας τίνι ἐφανερώθη; καὶ τὴν πολυπειρίαν αὐτῆς τίς συνῆκε;] | Ye that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy; and go not aside, lest ye fall. |
|
8
|
8
|
| εἷς ἐστι σοφὸς φοβερὸς σφόδρα καθήμενος ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ. | Ye that fear the Lord, believe him; and your reward shall not fail. |
|
9
|
9
|
| Κύριος αὐτὸς ἔκτισεν αὐτὴν καὶ εἶδε καὶ ἐξηρίθμησεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐξέχεεν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ, | Ye that fear the Lord, hope for good, and for everlasting joy and mercy. |
|
10
|
10
|
| μετὰ πάσης σαρκὸς κατὰ τὴν δόσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐχορήγησεν αὐτὴν τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν αὐτόν. | Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? or did any abide in his fear, and was forsaken? or whom did he ever despise, that called upon him? |
|
11
|
11
|
| φόβος Κυρίου δόξα καὶ καύχημα καὶ εὐφροσύνη καὶ στέφανος ἀγαλλιάματος. | For the Lord is full of compassion and mercy, longsuffering, and very pitiful, and forgiveth sins, and saveth in time of affliction. |
|
12
|
12
|
| φόβος Κυρίου τέρψει καρδίαν καὶ δώσει εὐφροσύνην καὶ χαρὰν καὶ μακροημέρευσιν. | Woe be to fearful hearts, and faint hands, and the sinner that goeth two ways! |
|
13
|
13
|
| τῷ φοβουμένῳ τὸν Κύριον εὖ ἔσται ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτων, καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τελευτῆς αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει χάριν. | Woe unto him that is fainthearted! for he believeth not; therefore shall he not be defended. |
|
14
|
14
|
| ἀρχὴ σοφίας φοβεῖσθαι τὸν Κύριον, καὶ μετὰ πιστῶν ἐν μήτρᾳ συνεκτίσθη αὐτοῖς. | Woe unto you that have lost patience! and what will ye do when the Lord shall visit you? |
|
15
|
15
|
| μετὰ ἀνθρώπων θεμέλιον αἰῶνος ἐνόσσευσε καὶ μετὰ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτῶν ἐμπιστευθήσεται. | They that fear the Lord will not disobey his word; and they that love him will keep his ways. |
|
16
|
16
|
| πλησμονὴ σοφίας φοβεῖσθαι τὸν Κύριον καὶ μεθύσκει αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῆς· | They that fear the Lord will seek that which is wellpleasing unto him; and they that love him shall be filled with the law. |
|
17
|
17
|
| πάντα τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς ἐμπλήσει ἐπιθυμημάτων καὶ τὰ ἀποδοχεῖα ἀπὸ τῶν γεννημάτων αὐτῆς. | They that fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and humble their souls in his sight, |
|
18
|
18
|
| στέφανος σοφίας φόβος Κυρίου ἀναθάλλων εἰρήνην καὶ ὑγίειαν ἰάσεως. | saying, We will fall into the hands of the Lord, and not into the hands of men: for as his majesty is, so is his mercy. |
|
19
|
|
| καὶ εἶδε καὶ ἐξηρίθμησεν αὐτήν, ἐπιστήμην καὶ γνῶσιν συνέσεως ἐξώμβρησε καὶ δόξαν κρατούντων αὐτῆς ἀνύψωσε. | |
|
20
|
|
| ρίζα σοφίας φοβεῖσθε τὸν Κύριον, καὶ οἱ κλάδοι αὐτῆς μακροημέρευσις. [ | |
|
21
|
|
| φόβος Κυρίου ἀπωθεῖται ἁμαρτήματα, παραμένων δὲ ἀποστρέψει ὀργήν]. | |
|
22
|
|
| οὐ δυνήσεται θυμὸς ἄδικος δικαιωθῆναι, ἡ γὰρ ροπὴ τοῦ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ πτῶσις αὐτῷ. | |
|
23
|
|
| ἕως καιροῦ ἀνθέξεται μακρόθυμος, καὶ ὕστερον αὐτῷ ἀναδώσει εὐφροσύνη· | |
|
24
|
|
| ἕως καιροῦ κρύψει τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ, καὶ χείλη πιστῶν ἐκδιηγήσεται σύνεσιν αὐτοῦ. | |
|
25
|
|
| ἐν θησαυροῖς σοφίας παραβολὴ ἐπιστήμης, βδέλυγμα δὲ ἁμαρτωλῷ θεοσέβεια. | |
|
26
|
|
| ἐπεθύμησας σοφίαν διατήρησον ἐντολάς, καὶ Κύριος χορηγήσει σοι αὐτήν. | |
|
27
|
|
| σοφία γὰρ καὶ παιδεία φόβος Κυρίου, καὶ ἡ εὐδοκία αὐτοῦ πίστις καὶ πρᾳότης. | |
|
28
|
|
| μὴ ἀπειθήσῃς φόβῳ Κυρίου καὶ μὴ προσέλθῃς αὐτῷ ἐν καρδίᾳ δισσῇ. | |
|
29
|
|
| μὴ ὑποκριθῇς ἐν στόμασιν ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἐν τοῖς χείλεσί σου πρόσεχε. | |
|
30
|
|
| μὴ ἐξύψου σεαυτόν, ἵνα μὴ πέσῃς καὶ ἐπαγάγῃς τῇ ψυχῇ σου ἀτιμίαν, καὶ ἀποκαλύψει Κύριος τὰ κρυπτά σου καὶ ἐν μέσῳ συναγωγῆς καταβαλεῖ σε, ὅτι οὐ προσῆλθες φόβῳ Κυρίου, καὶ ἡ καρδία σου πλήρης δόλου. |
