1
|
| ΤΕΚΝΟΝ, τὴν ζωὴν τοῦ πτωχοῦ μὴ ἀποστερήσῃς καὶ μὴ παρελκύσῃς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐπιδεεῖς. | Set not thy heart upon thy goods; and say not, I have enough for my life. |
|
2
|
2
|
| ψυχὴν πεινῶσαν μὴ λυπήσῃς καὶ μὴ παροργίσῃς ἄνδρα ἐν ἀπορίᾳ αὐτοῦ. | Follow not thine own mind and thy strength, to walk in the ways of thy heart: |
|
3
|
3
|
| καρδίαν παρωργισμένην μὴ προσταράξῃς καὶ μὴ παρελκύσῃς δόσιν προσδεομένου. | and say not, Who shall control me for my works? for the Lord will surely revenge thy pride. |
|
4
|
4
|
| ἱκέτην θλιβόμενον μὴ ἀπαναίνου καὶ μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπὸ πτωχοῦ. | Say not, I have sinned, and what harm hath happened unto me? for the Lord is longsuffering, he will in no wise let thee go. |
|
5
|
5
|
| ἀπὸ δεομένου μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς ὀφθαλμὸν καὶ μὴ δῷς τόπον ἀνθρώπῳ καταράσασθαί σε· | Concerning propitiation, be not without fear to add sin unto sin: |
|
6
|
6
|
| καταρωμένου γάρ σε ἐν πικρίᾳ ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ, τῆς δεήσεως αὐτοῦ ἐπακούσεται ὁ ποιήσας αὐτόν. | and say not, His mercy is great; he will be pacified for the multitude of my sins: for mercy and wrath come from him, and his indignation resteth upon sinners. |
|
7
|
7
|
| προσφιλῇ συναγωγῇ σεαυτὸν ποίει καὶ μεγιστᾶνι ταπείνου τὴν κεφαλήν σου. | Make no tarrying to turn to the Lord, and put not off from day to day: for suddenly shall the wrath of the Lord come forth, and in thy security thou shalt be destroyed, and perish in the day of vengeance. |
|
8
|
8
|
| κλῖνον πτωχῷ τὸ οὖς σου καὶ ἀποκρίθητι αὐτῷ εἰρηνικὰ ἐν πραΰτητι. | Set not thine heart upon goods unjustly gotten; for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity. |
|
9
|
9
|
| ἐξελοῦ ἀδικούμενον ἐκ χειρὸς ἀδικοῦντος καὶ μὴ ὀλιγοψυχήσῃς ἐν τῷ κρίνειν σε. | Winnow not with every wind, and go not into every way: for so doth the sinner that hath a double tongue. |
|
10
|
10
|
| γίνου ὀρφανοῖς ὡς πατὴρ καὶ ἀντὶ ἀνδρὸς τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔσῃ ὡς υἱὸς ῾Υψίστου, καὶ ἀγαπήσει σε μᾶλλον ἢ μήτηρ σου. | Be stedfast in thy understanding; and let thy word be the same. |
|
11
|
11
|
| ῾Η σοφία υἱοὺς αὐτῆς ἀνύψωσε καὶ ἐπιλαμβάνεται τῶν ζητούντων αὐτήν. | Be swift to hear; and let thy life be sincere; and with patience give answer. |
|
12
|
12
|
| ὁ ἀγαπῶν αὐτὴν ἀγαπᾷ ζωήν, καὶ οἱ ὀρθρίζοντες πρὸς αὐτὴν ἐμπλησθήσονται εὐφροσύνης. | If thou hast understanding, answer thy neighbour; if not, lay thy hand upon thy mouth. |
|
13
|
13
|
| ὁ κρατῶν αὐτῆς κληρονομήσει δόξαν, καὶ οὗ εἰσπορεύεται, εὐλογήσει Κύριος. | Honour and shame is in talk: and the tongue of man is his fall. |
|
14
|
14
|
| οἱ λατρεύοντες αὐτῇ λειτουργήσουσιν ἁγίῳ, καὶ τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτὴν ἀγαπᾷ ὁ Κύριος. | Be not called a whisperer, and lie not in wait with thy tongue: for a foul shame is upon the thief, and an evil condemnation upon the double tongue. |
|
15
|
15
|
| ὁ ὑπακούων αὐτῆς κρινεῖ ἔθνη, καὶ ὁ προσέχων αὐτῇ κατασκηνώσει πεποιθώς. | Be not ignorant of any thing in a great matter or a small. |
|
16
|
|
| ἐὰν ἐμπιστεύσῃ, κατακληρονομήσει αὐτήν, καὶ ἐν κατασχέσει ἔσονται αἱ γενεαὶ αὐτοῦ· | |
|
17
|
|
| ὅτι διεστραμμένως πορεύεται μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐν πρώτοις, φόβον δὲ καὶ δειλίαν ἐπάξει ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν καὶ βασανίσει αὐτὸν ἐν παιδείᾳ αὐτῆς, ἕως οὗ ἐμπιστεύσῃ τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πειράσῃ αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασιν αὐτῆς. | |
|
18
|
|
| καὶ πάλιν ἐπανήξει κατ᾿ εὐθεῖαν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εὐφρανεῖ αὐτὸν καὶ ἀποκαλύψει αὐτῷ τὰ κρυπτὰ αὐτῆς. | |
|
19
|
|
| ἐὰν ἀποπλανηθῇ, ἐγκαταλείψει αὐτὸν καὶ παραδώσει αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας πτώσεως αὐτοῦ. | |
|
20
|
|
| Συντήρησον καιρὸν καὶ φύλαξαι ἀπὸ πονηροῦ καὶ περὶ τῆς ψυχῆς σου μὴ αἰσχυνθῇς· | |
|
21
|
|
| ἔστι γὰρ αἰσχύνη ἐπάγουσα ἁμαρτίαν, καὶ ἔστιν αἰσχύνη δόξα καὶ χάρις. | |
|
22
|
|
| μὴ λάβῃς πρόσωπον κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς σου καὶ μὴ ἐντραπῇς εἰς πτῶσίν σου. | |
|
23
|
|
| μὴ κωλύσῃς λόγον ἐν καιρῷ σωτηρίας· | |
|
24
|
|
| ἐν γὰρ λόγῳ γνωσθήσεται σοφία καὶ παιδεία ἐν ρήματι γλώσσης. | |
|
25
|
|
| μὴ ἀντίλεγε τῇ ἀληθείᾳ καὶ περὶ τῆς ἀπαιδευσίας σου ἐντράπηθι. | |
|
26
|
|
| μὴ αἰσχυνθῇς ὁμολογῆσαι ἐφ᾿ ἁμαρτίαις σου καὶ μὴ βιάζου ροῦν ποταμοῦ. | |
|
27
|
|
| καὶ μὴ ὑποστρώσῃς σεαυτὸν ἀνθρώπῳ μωρῷ καὶ μὴ λάβῃς πρόσωπον δυνάστου. | |
|
28
|
|
| ἕως τοῦ θανάτου ἀγώνισαι περὶ τῆς ἀληθείας, καὶ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς πολεμήσει ὑπὲρ σοῦ. | |
|
29
|
|
| μὴ γίνου ταχὺς ἐν γλώσσῃ σου καὶ νωθρὸς καὶ παρειμένος ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις σου. | |
|
30
|
|
| μὴ ἴσθι ὡς λέων ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου καὶ φαντασιοκοπῶν ἐν τοῖς οἰκέταις σου. | |
|
31
|
|
| μὴ ἔστω ἡ χείρ σου ἐκτεταμένη εἰς τὸ λαβεῖν καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδόναι συνεσταλμένη. |
