Chapter 31
|
|
1
|
1
|
| ΠΕΡΙ ΤΕΚΝΩΝ.— ῾Ο ἀγαπῶν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐνδελεχήσει μάστιγας αὐτῷ, ἵνα εὐφρανθῇ ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτῳ αὐτοῦ. | The hopes of a man void of understanding are vain and false: and dreams lift up fools. |
|
2
|
2
|
| ὁ παιδεύων τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ὀνήσεται ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον γνωρίμων ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ καυχήσεται· | Whoso regardeth dreams is like him that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the wind. |
|
3
|
3
|
| ὁ διδάσκων τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ παραζηλώσει τὸν ἐχθρὸν καὶ ἔναντι φίλων ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ ἀγαλλιάσεται. | The vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to another, even as the likeness of a face to a face. |
|
4
|
4
|
| ἐτελεύτησεν αὐτοῦ ὁ πατήρ, καὶ ὡς οὐκ ἀπέθανεν· ὅμοιον γὰρ αὐτῷ κατέλιπε μετ᾿ αὐτόν. | Of an unclean thing what can be cleansed? and from that thing which is false what truth can come? |
|
5
|
5
|
| ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ εἶδε καὶ εὐφράνθη καὶ ἐν τῇ τελευτῇ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐλυπήθη. | Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams, are vain: and the heart fancieth, as a woman's heart in travail. |
|
6
|
6
|
| ἐναντίον ἐχθρῶν κατέλιπεν ἔκδικον καὶ τοῖς φίλοις ἀνταποδιδόντα χάριν. | If they be not sent from the most High in thy visitation, set not thy heart upon them. |
|
7
|
7
|
| περιψύχων υἱὸν καταδεσμεύσει τραύματα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ πάσῃ βοῇ ταραχθήσεται σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ. | For dreams have deceived many, and they have failed that put their trust in them. |
|
8
|
8
|
| ἵππος ἀδάμαστος ἀποβαίνει σκληρός, καὶ υἱὸς ἀνειμένος ἐκβαίνει προαλής. | The law shall be found perfect without lies: and wisdom is perfection to a faithful mouth. |
|
9
|
9
|
| τιθήνησον τέκνον, καὶ ἐκθαμβήσει σε· σύμπαιξον αὐτῷ, καὶ λυπήσει σε. | A man that hath travelled knoweth many things: and he that hath much experience will declare wisdom. |
|
10
|
10
|
| μὴ συγγελάσῃς αὐτῷ, ἵνα μὴ συνοδυνηθῇς, καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτῳ γομφιάσεις τοὺς ὀδόντας σου. | He that hath no experience knoweth little: but he that hath travelled is full of prudence. |
|
11
|
11
|
| μὴ δῷς αὐτῷ ἐξουσία ἐν νεότητι· θλάσον τὰς πλευρὰς αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἔστι νήπιος, μήποτε σκληρυνθεὶς ἀπειθήσῃ σοι. [καὶ μὴ παρίδῃς τὰς ἀγνοίας αὐτοῦ. | When I travelled, I saw many things; and I understand more than I can express. |
|
12
|
12
|
| κάμψον τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ ἐν νεότητι]. | I was oft-times in danger of death: yet I was delivered because of these things. |
|
13
|
13
|
| παίδευσον τὸν υἱόν σου καὶ ἔργασαι ἐν αὐτῷ, ἵνα μὴ ἐν τῇ ἀσχημοσύνῃ αὐτοῦ προσκόψῃς. ΠΕΡΙ ΥΓΙΕΙΑΣ.— | The spirit of those that fear the Lord shall live; for their hope is in him that saveth them. |
|
14
|
14
|
| Κρείσσων πτωχὸς ὑγιὴς καὶ ἰσχύων τῇ ἕξει ἢ πλούσιος μεμαστιγωμένος εἰς σῶμα αὐτοῦ. | Whoso feareth the Lord shall not fear nor be afraid; for he is his hope. |
|
15
|
15
|
| ὑγίεια καὶ εὐεξία βέλτιον παντὸς χρυσίου, καὶ σῶμα εὔρωστον ἢ ὄλβος ἀμέτρητος. | Blessed is the soul of him that feareth the Lord: to whom doth he look? and who is his strength? |
|
16
|
16
|
| οὐκ ἔστι πλοῦτος βελτίων ὑγιείας σώματος, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν εὐφροσύνη ὑπὲρ χαρὰν καρδίας. | For the eyes of the Lord are upon them that love him, he is their mighty protection and strong stay, a defence from heat, and a cover from the sun at noon, a preservation from stumbling, and an help from falling; |
|
17
|
17
|
| κρείσσων θάνατος ὑπὲρ ζωὴν πικρὰν καὶ ἀνάπαυσις αἰῶνος ἢ ἀρρώστημα ἔμμονον. | he raiseth up the soul, and lighteneth the eyes: he giveth health, life, and blessing. |
|
18
|
18
|
| ἀγαθὰ ἐκκεχυμένα ἐπὶ στόματι κεκλεισμένῳ, θέματα βρωμάτων παρακείμενα ἐπὶ τάφῳ. | He that sacrificeth of a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is ridiculous; and the gifts of unjust men are not accepted. |
|
19
|
19
|
| τί συμφέρει κάρπωσις εἰδώλῳ; οὔτε γὰρ ἔδεται οὔτε μὴ ὀσφρανθῇ· οὕτως ὁ ἐκδιωκόμενος ὑπὸ Κυρίου, | The most High is not pleased with the offerings of the wicked; neither is he pacified for sin by the multitude of sacrifices. |
|
20
|
20
|
| βλέπων ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς καὶ στενάζων ὥσπερ εὐνοῦχος περιλαμβάνων παρθένον καὶ στενάζων. | Whoso bringeth an offering of the goods of the poor doeth as one that killeth the son before his father's eyes. |
|
21
|
21
|
| μὴ δῷς εἰς λύπην τὴν ψυχήν σου καὶ μὴ θλίψῃς σεαυτὸν ἐν βουλῇ σου. | The bread of the needy is their life: he that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood. |
|
22
|
22
|
| εὐφροσύνη καρδίας ζωὴ ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ἀγαλλίαμα ἀνδρὸς μακροημέρευσις. | He that taketh away his neighbour's living slayeth him; and he that defraudeth the labourer his hire is a bloodshedder. |
|
23
|
23
|
| ἀγάπα τὴν ψυχήν σου καὶ παρακάλει τὴν καρδίαν σου καὶ λύπην μακρὰν ἀπόστησον ἀπὸ σοῦ· πολλοὺς γὰρ ἀπώλεσεν ἡ λύπη, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὠφέλεια ἐν αὐτῇ. | When one buildeth, and another pulleth down, what profit have they then but labour? |
|
24
|
24
|
| ζῆλος καὶ θυμὸς ἐλαττοῦσιν ἡμέρας, καὶ πρὸ καιροῦ γῆρας ἄγει μέριμνα. | When one prayeth, and another curseth, whose voice will the Lord hear? |
|
25
|
25
|
| λαμπρὰ καρδία καὶ ἀγαθὴ ἐπὶ ἐδέσμασι τῶν βρωμάτων αὐτῆς ἐπιμελήσεται. | He that washeth himself after the touching of a dead body, if he touch it again, what availeth his washing? |
