|
1
|
| ΤΙΜΑ ἰατρὸν πρὸς τὰς χρείας αὐτοῦ τιμαῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ γὰρ αὐτὸν ἔκτισε Κύριος· | will seek out the wisdom of all the ancients, and be occupied in prophecies. |
|
2
|
2
|
| παρὰ γὰρ ῾Υψίστου ἐστὶν ἴασις, καὶ παρὰ βασιλέως λήψεται δόμα. | He will keep the sayings of the renowned men: and where subtil parables are, he will be there also. |
|
3
|
3
|
| ἐπιστήμη ἰατροῦ ἀνυψώσει κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔναντι μεγιστάνων θαυμασθήσεται. | He will seek out the secrets of grave sentences, and be conversant in dark parables. |
|
4
|
4
|
| Κύριος ἔκτισεν ἐκ γῆς φάρμακα, καὶ ἀνὴρ φρόνιμος οὐ προσοχθιεῖ αὐτοῖς. | He shall serve among great men, and appear before princes: he will travel through strange countries; for he hath tried the good and the evil among men. |
|
5
|
5
|
| οὐκ ἀπὸ ξύλου ἐγλυκάνθη ὕδωρ εἰς τὸ γνωσθῆναι τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτοῦ; | He will give his heart to resort early to the Lord that made him, and will pray before the most High, and will open his mouth in prayer, and make supplication for his sins. |
|
6
|
6
|
| καὶ αὐτὸς ἔδωκεν ἀνθρώποις ἐπιστήμην ἐνδοξάζεσθαι ἐν τοῖς θαυμασίοις αὐτοῦ· | When the great Lord will, he shall be filled with the spirit of understanding: he shall pour out wise sentences, and give thanks unto the Lord in his prayer. |
|
7
|
7
|
| ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐθεράπευσε καὶ ἦρε τὸν πόνον αὐτοῦ, | He shall direct his counsel and knowledge, and on his secrets shall he meditate. |
|
8
|
8
|
| μυρεψὸς ἐν τούτοις ποιήσει μεῖγμα, καὶ οὐ μὴ συντελέσῃ ἔργα αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰρήνη παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν ἐπὶ προσώπου τῆς γῆς.— | He shall shew forth that which he hath learned, and shall glory in the law of the covenant of the Lord. |
|
9
|
9
|
| Τέκνον, ἐν ἀρρωστήματί σου μὴ παράβλεπε, ἀλλ᾿ εὖξαι Κυρίῳ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἰάσεταί σε. | Many shall commend his understanding; and so long as the world endureth, it shall not be blotted out; his memorial shall not depart away, and his name shall live from generation to generation. |
|
10
|
10
|
| ἀπόστησον πλημμέλειαν καὶ εὔθυνον χεῖρας, καὶ ἀπὸ πάσης ἁμαρτίας καθάρισον καρδίαν. | Nations shall shew forth his wisdom, and the congregation shall declare his praise. |
|
11
|
11
|
| δὸς εὐωδίαν καὶ μνημόσυνον σεμιδάλεως καὶ λίπανον προσφορὰν ὡς μὴ ὑπάρχων. | If he die, he shall leave a greater name than a thousand: and if he live, he shall increase it. |
|
12
|
12
|
| καὶ ἰατρῷ δὸς τόπον, καὶ γὰρ αὐτὸν ἔκτισε Κύριος, καὶ μὴ ἀποστήτω σου, καὶ γὰρ αὐτοῦ χρεία. | Yet have I more to say, which I have thought upon; for I am filled as the moon at the full. |
|
13
|
13
|
| ἔστι καιρὸς ὅτε καὶ ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν εὐοδία· | Hearken unto me, ye holy children, and bud forth as a rose growing by the brook of the field: |
|
14
|
14
|
| καὶ γὰρ αὐτοὶ Κυρίου δεηθήσονται, ἵνα εὐοδώσῃ αὐτοῖς ἀνάπαυσιν καὶ ἴασιν χάριν ἐμβιώσεως. | and give ye a sweet savour as frankincense, and flourish as a lily, send forth a smell, and sing a song of praise, bless the Lord in all his works. |
|
15
|
15
|
| ὁ ἁμαρτάνων ἔναντι τοῦ ποιήσαντος αὐτὸν ἐμπέσοι εἰς χεῖρας ἰατροῦ. | Magnify his name, and shew forth his praise with the songs of your lips, and with harps, and in praising him ye shall say after this manner: |
|
16
|
16
|
| Τέκνον, ἐπὶ νεκρῷ κατάγαγε δάκρυα καὶ ὡς δεινὰ πάσχων ἔναρξαι θρήνου, κατὰ δὲ τὴν κρίσιν αὐτοῦ περίστειλον τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ καὶ μὴ ὑπερίδῃς τὴν ταφὴν αὐτοῦ. | All the works of the Lord are exceeding good, and whatsoever he commandeth shall be accomplished in due season. |
|
17
|
17
|
| πίκρανον κλαυθμὸν καὶ θέρμανον κοπετὸν καὶ ποίησον τὸ πένθος κατὰ τὴν ἀξίαν αὐτοῦ ἡμέραν μίαν καὶ δύο χάριν διαβολῆς καὶ παρακλήθητι λύπης ἕνεκα· | For at time convenient they shall all be sought out: at his commandment the waters stood as an heap, and at the words of his mouth, the receptacles of waters. |
|
18
|
18
|
| ἀπὸ λύπης γὰρ ἐκβαίνει θάνατος, καὶ λύπη καρδίας κάμψει ἰσχύν. | At his commandment is done whatsoever pleaseth him; and none can hinder, when he will save. |
|
19
|
19
|
| ἐν ἐπαγωγῇ παραβαίνει καὶ λύπη, καὶ βίος πτωχοῦ κατὰ καρδίας. | The works of all flesh are before him, and nothing can be hid from his eyes. |
|
20
|
20
|
| μὴ δῷς εἰς λύπην τὴν καρδίαν σου, ἀπόστησον αὐτὴν μνησθεὶς τὰ ἔσχατα· | He seeth from everlasting to everlasting; and there is nothing wonderful before him. |
|
21
|
21
|
| μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ, οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἐπάνοδος, καὶ τοῦτον οὐκ ὠφελήσεις καὶ σεαυτὸν κακώσεις. | A man need not to say, What is this? wherefore is that? for he hath made all things for their uses. |
|
22
|
22
|
| μνήσθητι τὸ κρίμα αὐτοῦ, ὅτι οὕτω καὶ τὸ σόν· ἐμοὶ ἐχθὲς καὶ σοὶ σήμερον. | His blessing covered the dry land as a river, and watered it as a flood. |
|
23
|
23
|
| ἐν ἀναπαύσει νεκροῦ κατάπαυσον τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτοῦ καὶ παρακλήθητι ἐν αὐτῷ ἐν ἐξόδῳ πνεύματος αὐτοῦ. | As he hath turned the waters into saltness: so shall the heathen inherit his wrath. |
|
24
|
24
|
| Σοφία γραμματέως ἐν εὐκαιρίᾳ σχολῆς, καὶ ὁ ἐλασσούμενος πράξει αὐτοῦ σοφισθήσεται. | As his ways are plain unto the holy; so are they stumbling-blocks unto the wicked. |
|
25
|
25
|
| τί σοφισθήσεται ὁ κρατῶν ἀρότρου καὶ καυχώμενος ἐν δόρατι κέντρου, βόας ἐλαύνων καὶ ἀναστρεφόμενος ἐν ἔργοις αὐτῶν, καὶ ἡ διήγησις αὐτοῦ ἐν υἱοῖς ταύρων; | For the good are good things created from the beginning: so evil things for sinners. |
|
26
|
26
|
| καρδίαν αὐτοῦ δώσει ἐκδοῦναι αὔλακας, καὶ ἡ ἀγρυπνία αὐτοῦ εἰς χορτάσματα δαμάλεων. | The principal things for the whole use of man's life are water, fire, iron, and salt, flour of wheat, honey, milk, and the blood of the grape, and oil, and clothing. |
|
27
|
27
|
| οὕτως πᾶς τέκτων καὶ ἀρχιτέκτων, ὅστις νύκτωρ ὡς ἡμέρας διάγει· οἱ γλύφοντες γλύμματα σφραγίδων, καὶ ἡ ὑπομονὴ αὐτοῦ ἀλλοιῶσαι ποικιλίαν· καρδίαν αὐτοῦ δώσει εἰς τὸ ὁμοιῶσαι ζωγραφίαν, καὶ ἡ ἀγρυπνία αὐτοῦ τελέσαι ἔργον. | All these things are for good to the godly: so to the sinners they are turned into evil. |
|
28
|
28
|
| οὕτως χαλκεὺς καθήμενος ἐγγὺς ἄκμονος καὶ καταμανθάνων ἔργα σιδήρου· ἀτμὶς πυρὸς πήξει σάρκας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν θέρμῃ καμίνου διαμαχήσεται· φωνὴ σφύρης καινιεῖ τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατέναντι ὁμοιώματος σκεύους οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ· καρδίαν αὐτοῦ δώσει εἰς συντέλειαν ἔργων, καὶ ἡ ἀγρυπνία αὐτοῦ κοσμῆσαι ἐπὶ συντελείας. | There be spirits that are created for vengeance, which in their fury lay on sore strokes; in the time of destruction they pour out their force, and appease the wrath of him that made them. |
|
29
|
29
|
| οὕτως κεραμεὺς καθήμενος ἐν ἔργῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ συστρέφων ἐν ποσὶν αὐτοῦ τροχόν, ὃς ἐν μερίμνῃ κεῖται διὰ παντὸς ἐπὶ τὸ ἔργον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐναρίθμιος πᾶσα ἡ ἐργασία αὐτοῦ. | Fire, and hail, and famine, and death, all these were created for vengeance; |
|
30
|
30
|
| ἐν βραχίονι αὐτοῦ τυπώσει πηλὸν καὶ πρὸ ποδῶν κάμψει ἰσχὺν αὐτοῦ· καρδίαν ἐπιδώσει συντελέσαι τὸ χρῖσμα, καὶ ἡ ἀγρυπνία αὐτοῦ καθαρίσαι κάμινον.— | teeth of wild beasts, and scorpions, serpents, and the sword, punishing the wicked to destruction, |
|
31
|
31
|
| Πάντες οὗτοι εἰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἐνεπίστευσαν, καὶ ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ ἔργῳ αὐτοῦ σοφίζεται. | shall rejoice in his commandment, and they shall be ready upon earth, when need is; and when their time is come, they shall not go beyond his word. |
|
32
|
32
|
| ἄνευ αὐτῶν οὐκ οἰκισθήσεται πόλις, καὶ οὐ παροικήσουσιν οὐδὲ περιπατήσουσιν, | Therefore from the beginning I was resolved, and thought upon these things, and have left them in writing. |
|
33
|
33
|
| ἀλλ᾿ εἰς βουλὴν λαοῦ οὐ ζητηθήσονται καὶ ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ οὐχ ὑπεραλοῦνται· ἐπὶ δίφρον δικαστοῦ οὐ καθιοῦνται καὶ διαθήκην κρίματος οὐ διανοηθήσονται, οὐδὲ μὴ ἐκφάνωσι δικαιοσύνην καὶ κρίμα, καὶ ἐν παραβολαῖς οὐχ εὑρεθήσονται, | All the works of the Lord are good: and he will give every needful thing in due season. |
|
34
|
34
|
| ἀλλὰ κτίσμα αἰῶνος στηρίσουσι, καὶ ἡ δέησις αὐτῶν ἐν ἐργασίᾳ τέχνης. | So that a man cannot say, This is worse than that: for in time they shall all be well approved. |
