1
|
1
|
| ΛΙΘῼ ἠρδαλωμένῳ συνεβλήθη ὀκνηρός, καὶ πᾶς ἐκσυριεῖ ἐπὶ τῇ ἀτιμίᾳ αὐτοῦ. | O Lord, Father and Governor of my life, leave me not to their counsels, and let me not fall by them. |
|
2
|
2
|
| βολβίτῳ κοπρίων συνεβλήθη ὀκνηρός, πᾶς ὁ ἀναιρούμενος αὐτὸν ἐκτινάξει χεῖρα. | Who will set scourges over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over mine heart? that they spare me not for mine ignorances, and it pass not by my sins: |
|
3
|
3
|
| αἰσχύνη πατρὸς ἐν γεννήσει ἀπαιδεύτου, θυγάτηρ δὲ ἐπ᾿ ἐλαττώσει γίνεται. | lest mine ignorances increase, and my sins abound to my destruction, and I fall before mine adversaries, and mine enemy rejoice over me, whose hope is far from thy mercy. |
|
4
|
4
|
| θυγάτηρ φρονίμη κληρονομήσει ἄνδρα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἡ καταισχύνουσα εἰς λύπην γεννήσαντος· | O Lord, Father and God of my life, give me not a proud look. |
|
5
|
5
|
| πατέρα καὶ ἄνδρα καταισχύνει ἡ θρασεῖα καὶ ὑπὸ ἀμφοτέρων ἀτιμασθήσεται. | Turn away concupiscence from me. |
|
6
|
6
|
| Μουσικὰ ἐν πένθει ἄκαιρος διήγησις, μάστιγες δὲ καὶ παιδεία ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ σοφίας. | Let not the greediness of the belly nor lust of the flesh take hold of me; and give me not over into an impudent mind. |
|
7
|
7
|
| συγκολλῶν ὄστρακον ὁ διδάσκων μωρόν, ἐξεγείρων καθεύδοντα ἐκ βαθέως ὕπνου. | Hear, O ye children, the discipline of the mouth: he that keepeth it shall never be taken in his lips. |
|
8
|
8
|
| διηγούμενος νυστάζοντι ὁ διηγούμενος μωρῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ συντελείᾳ ἐρεῖ, τί ἐστιν; | The sinner shall be left in his foolishness: both the evil speaker and the proud shall fall thereby. |
|
11
|
11
|
| ἐπὶ νεκρῷ κλαῦσον, ἐξέλιπε γὰρ φῶς, καὶ ἐπὶ μωρῷ κλαῦσον, ἐξέλιπε γὰρ σύνεσις. ἥδιον κλαῦσον ἐπὶ νεκρῷ, ὅτι ἀνεπαύσατο, τοῦ δὲ μωροῦ ὑπὲρ θάνατον ἡ ζωὴ πονηρά. | A man that useth much swearing shall be filled with iniquity, and the plague shall never depart from his house: if he shall offend, his sin shall be upon him: and if he acknowledge not his sin, he maketh a double offence: and if he swear in vain, he shall not be innocent, but his house shall be full of calamities. |
|
12
|
12
|
| πένθος νεκροῦ ἑπτὰ ἡμέραι, μωροῦ δὲ καὶ ἀσεβοῦς πᾶσαι αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ. | There is a word that is clothed about with death: God grant that it be not found in the heritage of Jacob; for all such things shall be far from the godly, and they shall not wallow in their sins. |
|
13
|
13
|
| μετὰ ἄφρονος μὴ πληθύνῃς λόγον, καὶ πρὸς ἀσύνετον μὴ πορεύου· φύλαξαι ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα μὴ κόπον ἔχῃς, καὶ οὐ μὴ μολυνθῇς ἐν τῷ ἐντιναγμῷ αὐτοῦ· ἔκκλινον ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ εὑρήσεις ἀνάπαυσιν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀκηδιάσῃς ἐν τῇ ἀπονοίᾳ αὐτοῦ. | Use not thy mouth to intemperate swearing, for therein is the word of sin. |
|
14
|
14
|
| ὑπὲρ μόλυβδον τί βαρυνθήσεται; καὶ τί αὐτῷ ὄνομα ἀλλ᾿ ἢ μωρός; | Remember thy father and thy mother, when thou sittest among great men. Be not forgetful before them, and so thou by thy custom become a fool, and wish that thou hadst not been born, and curse the day of thy nativity. |
|
15
|
15
|
| ἄμμον καὶ ἅλα καὶ βῶλον σιδήρου εὔκοπον ὑπενεγκεῖν ἢ ἄνθρωπον ἀσύνετον.— | The man that is accustomed to opprobrious words will never be reformed all the days of his life. |
|
16
|
16
|
| ῾Ιμάντωσις ξυλίνη ἐνδεδεμένη εἰς οἰκοδομὴν ἐν συσσεισμῷ οὐ διαλυθήσεται· οὕτως καρδία ἐστηριγμένη ἐπὶ διανοήματος βουλῆς ἐν καιρῷ οὐ δειλιάσει. | Two sorts of men multiply sin, and the third will bring wrath: a hot mind is as a burning fire, it will never be quenched till it be consumed: a fornicator in the body of his flesh will never cease till he hath kindled a fire. |
|
17
|
17
|
| καρδία ἡδρασμένη ἐπὶ διανοίας συνέσεως ὡς κόσμος ψαμμωτὸς τοίχου ξυστοῦ. | All bread is sweet to a whoremonger, he will not leave off till he die. |
|
18
|
18
|
| χάρακες ἐπὶ μετεώρου κείμενοι κατέναντι ἀνέμου οὐ μὴ ὑπομείνωσιν· οὕτως καρδία δειλὴ ἐπὶ διανοήματος μωροῦ κατέναντι παντὸς φόβου οὐ μὴ ὑπομείνῃ. | A man that breaketh wedlock, saying thus in his heart, Who seeth me? I am compassed about with darkness, the walls cover me, and no body seeth me; what need I to fear? the most High will not remember my sins: |
|
19
|
19
|
| ῾Ο νύσσων ὀφθαλμὸν κατάξει δάκρυα, καὶ ὁ νύσσων καρδίαν ἐκφαίνει αἴσθησιν. | such a man only feareth the eyes of men, and knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord are ten thousand times brighter than the sun, beholding all the ways of men, and considering the most secret parts. |
|
20
|
20
|
| βάλλων λίθον ἐπὶ πετεινὰ ἀποσοβεῖ αὐτά, καὶ ὁ ὀνειδίζων φίλον διαλύσει φιλίαν. | He knew all things ere ever they were created; so also after they were perfected he looked upon them all. |
|
21
|
21
|
| ἐπὶ φίλον ἐὰν σπάσῃς ρομφαίαν, μὴ ἀπελπίσῃς, ἔστι γὰρ ἐπάνοδος· | This man shall be punished in the streets of the city, and where he suspecteth not he shall be taken. |
|
22
|
22
|
| ἐπὶ φίλον ἐὰν ἀνοίξῃς στόμα, μὴ εὐλαβηθῇς, ἔστι γὰρ διαλλαγή· πλὴν ὀνειδισμοῦ καὶ ὑπερηφανίας καὶ μυστηρίου ἀποκαλύψεως καὶ πληγῆς δολίας, ἐν τούτοις ἀποφεύξεται πᾶς φίλος. | Thus shall it go also with the wife that leaveth her husband, and bringeth in an heir by another. |
|
23
|
23
|
| πίστιν κτῆσαι ἐν πτωχείᾳ μετὰ τοῦ πλησίον, ἵνα ἐν τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς αὐτοῦ ὁμοῦ πλησθῇς· ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως διάμενε αὐτῷ, ἵνα ἐν τῇ κληρονομίᾳ αὐτοῦ συγκληρονομήσῃς. | For first, she hath disobeyed the law of the most High; and secondly, she hath trespassed against her own husband; and thirdly, she hath played the whore in adultery, and brought children by another man. |
|
24
|
24
|
| πρὸ πυρὸς ἀτμὶς καμίνου καὶ καπνός· οὕτως πρὸ αἱμάτων λοιδορίαι. | She shall be brought out into the congregation, and inquisition shall be made of her children. |
|
25
|
25
|
| φίλον σκεπάσαι οὐκ αἰσχυνθήσομαι καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ κρυβῶ. | Her children shall not take root, and her branches shall bring forth no fruit. |
|
26
|
26
|
| καὶ εἰ κακά μοι συμβῇ δι᾿ αὐτόν, πᾶς ὁ ἀκούων φυλάξεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.— | She shall leave her memory to be cursed, and her reproach shall not be blotted out. |
|
27
|
27
|
| Τίς δώσει μοι ἐπὶ στόμα μου φυλακὴν καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν χειλέων μου σφραγίδα πανοῦργον, ἵνα μὴ πέσω ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς καὶ ἡ γλῶσσά μου ἀπολέσῃ με; | And they that remain shall know that there is nothing better than the fear of the Lord, and that there is nothing sweeter than to take heed unto the commandments of the Lord. |
