Chapter 6
|
|
1
|
|
| ΜΗ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ τοῖς χρήμασί σου καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς· αὐτάρκη μοί ἐστι. | |
|
2
|
|
| μὴ ἐξακολούθει τῇ ψυχῇ σου καὶ τῇ ἰσχύϊ σου τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ἐπιθυμίαις καρδίας σου, | |
|
3
|
3
|
| καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς· τίς με δυναστεύσει; ὁ γὰρ Κύριος ἐκδικῶν ἐκδικήσει σε. | Thou shalt eat up thy leaves, and lose thy fruit, and leave thyself as a dry tree. |
|
4
|
4
|
| μὴ εἴπῃς, ἥμαρτον, καὶ τί μοι ἐγένετο; ὁ γὰρ Κύριός ἐστι μακρόθυμος. | A wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and shall make him to be laughed to scorn of his enemies. |
|
5
|
5
|
| περὶ ἐξιλασμοῦ μὴ ἄφοβος γίνου, προσθεῖναι ἁμαρτίαν ἐφ᾿ ἁμαρτίαις· | Sweet language will multiply friends: and a fairspeaking tongue will increase kind greetings. |
|
6
|
6
|
| καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς· ὁ οἰκτιρμὸς αὐτοῦ πολύς, τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου ἐξιλάσεται· ἔλεος γὰρ καὶ ὀργὴ παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ ἁμαρτωλοὺς καταπαύσει ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ. | Be in peace with many: nevertheless have but one counsellor of a thousand. |
|
7
|
7
|
| μὴ ἀνάμενε ἐπιστρέψαι πρὸς Κύριον καὶ μὴ ὑπερβάλλου ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας· ἐξάπινα γὰρ ἐξελεύσεται ὀργὴ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐν καιρῷ ἐκδικήσεως ἐξολῇ. | If thou wouldest get a friend, prove him first, and be not hasty to credit him. |
|
8
|
8
|
| μὴ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ χρήμασιν ἀδίκοις· οὐδὲν γὰρ ὠφελήσει σε ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπαγωγῆς. | For some man is a friend for his own occasion, and will not abide in the day of thy trouble. |
|
9
|
9
|
| μὴ λίκμα ἐν παντὶ ἀνέμῳ καὶ μὴ πορεύου ἐν πάσῃ ἀτραπῷ· οὕτως ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς ὁ δίγλωσσος. | And there is a friend, who being turned to enmity and strife will discover thy reproach. |
|
10
|
10
|
| ἴσθι ἐστηριγμένος ἐν συνέσει σου, καὶ εἷς ἔστω σου ὁ λόγος. | Again, some friend is a companion at the table, and will not continue in the day of thy affliction. |
|
11
|
11
|
| γίνου ταχὺς ἐν ἀκροάσει σου καὶ ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ φθέγγου ἀπόκρισιν. | But in thy prosperity he will be as thyself, and will be bold over thy servants. |
|
12
|
12
|
| εἰ ἔστι σοι σύνεσις, ἀποκρίθητι τῷ πλησίον· εἰ δὲ μή, ἡ χείρ σου ἔστω ἐπὶ στόματί σου. | If thou be brought low, he will be against thee, and will hide himself from thy face. |
|
13
|
13
|
| δόξα καὶ ἀτιμία ἐν λαλιᾷ, καὶ γλῶσσα ἀνθρώπου πτῶσις αὐτῷ. | Separate thyself from thine enemies, and take heed of thy friends. |
|
14
|
14
|
| μὴ κληθῇς ψίθυρος, καὶ τῇ γλώσσῃ σου μὴ ἐνέδρευε· ἐπὶ γὰρ τῷ κλέπτῃ ἐστὶν αἰσχύνη, καὶ κατάγνωσις πονηρὰ ἐπὶ διγλώσσου. | A faithful friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure. |
|
15
|
15
|
| ἐν μεγάλῳ καὶ ἐν μικρῷ μὴ ἀγνόει. | Nothing doth countervail a faithful friend, and his excellency is invaluable. |
