Chapter 35
|
|

|
1
|
| ΚΕΝΑΙ ἐλπίδες καὶ ψευδεῖς ἀσυνέτῳ ἀνδρί, καὶ ἐνύπνια ἀναπτεροῦσιν ἄφρονας. | If thou be made the master of a feast, lift not thyself up, but be among them as one of the rest; take diligent care for them, and so sit down. |
|
2
|
2
|
| ὡς δρασσόμενος σκιᾶς καὶ διώκων ἄνεμον, οὕτως ὁ ἐπέχων ἐνυπνίοις. | And when thou hast done all thy office, take thy place, that thou mayest be merry with them, and receive a crown for thy well ordering of the feast. |
|
3
|
3
|
| τοῦτο κατὰ τούτου ὅρασις ἐνυπνίων, κατέναντι προσώπου ὁμοίωμα προσώπου. | Speak, thou that art the elder, for it becometh thee, but with sound judgment; and hinder not music. |
|
4
|
4
|
| ἀπὸ ἀκαθάρτου τί καθαρισθήσεται; καὶ ἀπὸ ψευδοῦς τί ἀληθεύσει; | Pour not out words where there is a musician, and shew not forth wisdom out of time. |
|
5
|
5
|
| μαντεῖαι καὶ οἰωνισμοὶ καὶ ἐνύπνια μάταιά ἐστι, καὶ ὡς ὠδινούσης φαντάζεται καρδία. | A concert of music in a banquet of wine is as a signet of carbuncle set in gold. |
|
6
|
6
|
| ἐὰν μὴ παρὰ ῾Υψίστου ἀποσταλῇ ἐν ἐπισκοπῇ, μὴ δῷς εἰς αὐτὰ τὴν καρδίαν σου· | As a signet of an emerald set in a work of gold, so is the melody of music with pleasant wine. |
|
7
|
7
|
| πολλοὺς γὰρ ἐπλάνησε τὰ ἐνύπνια, καὶ ἐξέπεσον ἐλπίζοντες ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς.— | Speak, young man, if there be need of thee: and yet scarcely when thou art twice asked. |
|
8
|
8
|
| ῎Ανευ ψεύδους συντελεσθήσεται νόμος, καὶ σοφία στόματι πιστῷ τελείωσις. | Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words; be as one that knoweth and yet holdeth his tongue. |
|
9
|
9
|
| ἀνὴρ πεπαιδευμένος ἔγνω πολλά, καὶ ὁ πολύπειρος ἐκδιηγήσεται σύνεσιν. | If thou be among great men, make not thyself equal with them; and when ancient men are in place, use not many words. |
|
10
|
10
|
| ὃς οὐκ ἐπειράθη ὀλίγα οἶδεν, ὁ δὲ πεπλανημένος πληθυνεῖ πανουργίαν. | Before the thunder goeth lightning; and before a shamefaced man shall go favour. |
|
11
|
11
|
| πολλὰ ἑώρακα ἐν τῇ ἀποπλανήσει μου, καὶ πλείονα τῶν λόγων μου σύνεσίς μου. | Rise up betimes, and be not the last; but get thee home without delay. |
|
12
|
12
|
| πλεονάκις ἕως θανάτου ἐκινδύνευσα καὶ διεσώθην τούτων χάριν. | There take thy pastime, and do what thou wilt: but sin not by proud speech. |
|
13
|
13
|
| πνεῦμα φοβουμένων Κύριον ζήσεται, ἡ γὰρ ἐλπὶς αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸν σώζοντα αὐτούς. | And for these things bless him that made thee, and hath replenished thee with his good things. |
|
14
|
14
|
| ὁ φοβούμενος Κύριον οὐδὲν εὐλαβηθήσεται καὶ οὐ μὴ δειλιάσῃ, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐλπὶς αὐτοῦ. | Whoso feareth the Lord will receive his discipline; and they that seek him early shall find favour. |
|
15
|
15
|
| φοβουμένου τὸν Κύριον μακαρία ἡ ψυχή· τίνι ἐπέχει καὶ τίς ἀντιστήριγμα αὐτοῦ; | He that seeketh the law shall be filled therewith: but the hypocrite will be offended thereat. |
|
16
|
16
|
| οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτόν· ὑπερασπισμὸς δυναστείας καὶ στήριγμα ἰσχύος, σκέπη ἀπὸ καύσωνος καὶ σκέπη ἀπὸ μεσημβρίας, φυλακὴ ἀπὸ προσκόμματος καὶ βοήθεια ἀπὸ πτώσεως, | They that fear the Lord shall find judgment, and shall kindle justice as a light. |
|
17
|
17
|
| ἀνυψῶν ψυχὴν καὶ φωτίζων ὀφθαλμούς, ἴασιν διδούς, ζωὴν καὶ εὐλογίαν. | A sinful man will not be reproved, but findeth an excuse according to his will. |
|
18
|
18
|
| Θυσιάζων ἐξ ἀδίκου, προσφορὰ μεμωκημένη, καὶ οὐκ εἰς εὐδοκίαν δωρήματα ἀνόμων. | A man of counsel will be considerate; but a strange and proud man is not daunted with fear, even when of himself he hath done without counsel. |
|
19
|
19
|
| οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ὁ ῞Υψιστος ἐν προσφοραῖς ἀσεβῶν, οὐδὲ ἐν πλήθει θυσιῶν ἐξιλάσκεται ἁμαρτίας. | Do nothing without advice; and when thou hast once done, repent not. |
|
20
|
20
|
| θύων υἱὸν ἔναντι τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ προσάγων θυσίαν ἐκ χρημάτων πενήτων. | Go not in a way wherein thou mayest fall, and stumble not among the stones. |
|
21
|
21
|
| ἄρτος ἐπιδεομένων ζωὴ πτωχῶν, ὁ ἀποστερῶν αὐτὴν ἄνθρωπος αἱμάτων. | Be not confident in a plain way. |
|
22
|
22
|
| φονεύων τὸν πλησίον ὁ ἀφαιρούμενος συμβίωσιν, καὶ ἐκχέων αἷμα ὁ ἀποστερῶν μισθὸν μισθίου. | And beware of thine own children. |
|
23
|
23
|
| εἷς οἰκοδομῶν, καὶ εἷς καθαιρῶν· τί ὠφέλησαν πλεῖον ἢ κόπους; | In every good work trust thy own soul; for this is the keeping of the commandments. |
|
24
|
24
|
| εἷς εὐχόμενος καὶ εἷς καταρώμενος· τίνος φωνῆς εἰσακούσεται ὁ δεσπότης; | He that believeth in the Lord taketh heed to the commandment; and he that trusteth in him shall fare never the worse. |
|
25
|
|
| βαπτιζόμενος ἀπὸ νεκροῦ καὶ πάλιν ἁπτόμενος αὐτοῦ, τί ὠφέλησε τῷ λουτρῷ αὐτοῦ; | |
|
26
|
|
| οὕτως ἄνθρωπος νηστεύων ἐπὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ πάλιν πορευόμενος καὶ τὰ αὐτὰ ποιῶν· τῆς προσευχῆς αὐτοῦ τίς εἰσακούσεται; καὶ τί ὠφέλησεν ἐν τῷ ταπεινωθῆναι αὐτόν; |
