Chapter 21
|
|
1
|
1
|
| ΕΣΤΙΝ ἔλεγχος ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ὡραῖος, καὶ ἔστι σιωπῶν καὶ αὐτὸς φρόνιμος. | My son, hast thou sinned? do so no more, but ask pardon for thy former sins. |
|
2
|
2
|
| ὡς καλὸν ἐλέγξαι ἢ θυμοῦσθαι, καὶ ὁ ἀνθομολογούμενος ἀπὸ ἐλαττώσεως κωλυθήσεται. | Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent: for if thou comest too near it, it will bite thee: the teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, slaying the souls of men. |
|
4
|
4
|
| ἐπιθυμία εὐνούχου ἀποπαρθενῶσαι νεάνιδα, οὕτως ὁ ποιῶν ἐν βίᾳ κρίματα. | To terrify and do wrong will waste riches: thus the house of proud men shall be made desolate. |
|
5
|
5
|
| ἔστι σιωπῶν εὑρισκόμενος σοφός, καὶ ἔστι μισητὸς ἀπὸ πολλῆς λαλιᾶς. | A prayer out of a poor man's mouth reacheth to the ears of God, and his judgment cometh speedily. |
|
6
|
6
|
| ἔστι σιωπῶν, οὐ γὰρ ἔχει ἀπόκρισιν, καὶ ἔστι σιωπῶν εἰδὼς καιρόν. | He that hateth reproof is in the way of sinners: but he that feareth the Lord will repent from his heart. |
|
7
|
7
|
| ἄνθρωπος σοφὸς σιγήσει ἕως καιροῦ, ὁ δὲ λαπιστὴς καὶ ἄφρων ὑπερβήσεται καιρόν. | An eloquent man is known far and near; but a man of understanding knoweth when he slippeth. |
|
8
|
8
|
| ὁ πλεονάζων λόγῳ βδελυχθήσεται, καὶ ὁ ἐνεξουσιαζόμενος μισηθήσεται. | He that buildeth his house with other men's money is like one that gathereth himself stones for the tomb of his burial. |
|
9
|
9
|
| ἔστιν εὐοδία ἐν κακοῖς ἀνδρί, καὶ ἔστιν εὕρημα εἰς ἐλάττωσιν. | The congregation of the wicked is like tow wrapped together: and the end of them is a flame of fire to destroy them. |
|
10
|
10
|
| ἔστι δόσις, ἣ οὐ λυσιτελήσει σοι, καὶ ἔστι δόσις, ἧς τὸ ἀνταπόδομα διπλοῦν. | The way of sinners is made plain with stones, but at the end thereof is the pit of hell. |
|
11
|
11
|
| ἔστιν ἐλάττωσις ἕνεκεν δόξης, καὶ ἔστιν ὃς ἀπὸ ταπεινώσεως ᾖρε κεφαλήν. | He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the understanding thereof: and the perfection of the fear of the Lord is wisdom. |
|
12
|
12
|
| ἔστιν ἀγοράζων πολλὰ ὀλίγου καὶ ἀποτιννύων αὐτὰ ἑπταπλάσιον. | He that is not wise will not be taught: but there is a wisdom which multiplieth bitterness. |
|
13
|
13
|
| ὁ σοφὸς ἐν λόγῳ ἑαυτὸν προσφιλῆ ποιήσει, χάριτες δὲ μωρῶν ἐκχυθήσονται. | The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood: and his counsel is like a pure fountain of life. |
|
14
|
14
|
| δόσις ἄφρονος οὐ λυσιτελήσει σοι, οἱ γὰρ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἀνθ᾿ ἑνὸς πολλοί· | The inner parts of a fool are like a broken vessel, and he will hold no knowledge as long as he liveth. |
|
15
|
15
|
| ὀλίγα δώσει καὶ πολλὰ ὀνειδίσει καὶ ἀνοίξει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ὡς κῆρυξ· σήμερον δανιεῖ καὶ αὔριον ἀπαιτήσει, μισητὸς ἄνθρωπος ὁ τοιοῦτος. | If a skilful man hear a wise word, he will commend it, and add unto it: but when one of no understanding heareth it, it displeaseth him, and he casteth it behind his back. |
|
16
|
16
|
| μωρὸς ἐρεῖ· οὐχ ὑπάρχει μοι φίλος, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι χάρις τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς μου· οἱ ἔσθοντες τὸν ἄρτον μου, φαῦλοι γλώσσῃ· | The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way: but grace shall be found in the lips of the wise. |
|
17
|
17
|
| ποσάκις καὶ ὅσοι καταγελάσονται αὐτοῦ;— | They enquire at the mouth of the wise man in the congregation, and they shall ponder his words in their heart. |
|
18
|
18
|
| ᾿Ολίσθημα ἀπὸ ἐδάφους μᾶλλον ἢ ἀπὸ γλώσσης, οὕτως πτῶσις κακῶν κατὰ σπουδὴν ἥξει. | As a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool: and the knowledge of the unwise is as talk without sense. |
|
19
|
19
|
| ἄνθρωπος ἄχαρις, μῦθος ἄκαιρος· ἐν στόματι ἀπαιδεύτων ἐνδελεχισθήσεται. | Doctrine unto fools is as fetters on the feet, and like manacles on the right hand. |
|
20
|
20
|
| ἀπὸ στόματος μωροῦ ἀποδοκιμασθήσεται παραβολή, οὐ γὰρ μὴ εἴπῃ αὐτὴν ἐν καιρῷ αὐτῆς. | A fool lifteth up his voice with laughter; but a wise man doth scarce smile a little. |
|
21
|
21
|
| ῎Εστι κωλυόμενος ἁμαρτάνειν ἀπὸ ἐνδείας, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀναπαύσει αὐτοῦ οὐ κατανυγήσεται. | Learning is unto a wise man as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm. |
|
22
|
22
|
| ἔστιν ἀπολλύων τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ δι᾿ αἰσχύνην, καὶ ἀπὸ ἄφρονος προσώπου ἀπολεῖ αὐτήν. | A foolish man's foot is soon in his neighbour's house: but a man of experience is ashamed of him. |
|
23
|
23
|
| ἔστι χάριν αἰσχύνης ἐπαγγελόμενος φίλῳ, καὶ ἐκτήσατο αὐτὸν ἐχθρὸν δωρεάν.— | A fool will peep in at the door into the house: but he that is well nurtured will stand without. |
|
24
|
24
|
| Μῶμος πονηρὸς ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ ψεῦδος, ἐν στόματι ἀπαιδεύτων ἐνδελεχισθήσεται. | It is the rudeness of a man to hearken at the door: but a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace. |
|
25
|
25
|
| αἱρετὸν κλέπτης ἢ ὁ ἐνδελεχίζων ψεύδει, ἀμφότεροι δὲ ἀπώλειαν κληρονομήσουσιν. | The lips of talkers will be telling such things as pertain not unto them: but the words of such as have understanding are weighed in the balance. |
|
26
|
26
|
| ἦθος ἀνθρώπου ψευδοῦς ἀτιμία, καὶ ἡ αἰσχύνη αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐνδελεχῶς. ΛΟΓΟΙ ΠΑΡΑΒΟΛΩΝ.— | The heart of fools is in their mouth: but the mouth of the wise is in their heart. |
|
27
|
27
|
| ῾Ο σοφὸς ἐν λόγοις προάξει ἑαυτόν, καὶ ἄνθρωπος φρόνιμος ἀρέσει μεγιστᾶσιν. | When the ungodly curseth Satan, he curseth his own soul. |
|
28
|
28
|
| ὁ ἐργαζόμενος γῆν ἀνυψώσει θημωνίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ ἀρέσκων μεγιστᾶσιν ἐξιλάσεται ἀδικίαν. | A whisperer defileth his own soul, and is hated wheresoever he dwelleth. |
|
29
|
|
| ξένια καὶ δῶρα ἀποτυφλοῖ ὀφθαλμοὺς σοφῶν καὶ ὡς φιμὸς ἐν στόματι ἀποτρέπει ἐλεγμούς. | |
|
30
|
|
| σοφία κεκρυμμένη καὶ θησαυρὸς ἀφανής, τίς ὠφέλεια ἐν ἀμφοτέροις; | |
|
31
|
|
| κρείσσων ἄνθρωπος ἀποκρύπτων τὴν μωρίαν αὐτοῦ ἢ ἄνθρωπος ἀποκρύπτων τὴν σοφίαν αὐτοῦ. |
