Chapter 6
|
|
1
|
1
|
|
ΜΗ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ τοῖς χρήμασί σου καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς· αὐτάρκη μοί ἐστι.
|
Instead of a friend become not an enemy; for thereby thou shalt inherit an ill name, shame, and reproach: even so shall a sinner that hath a double tongue.
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
μὴ ἐξακολούθει τῇ ψυχῇ σου καὶ τῇ ἰσχύϊ σου τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ἐπιθυμίαις καρδίας σου,
|
Extol not thyself in the counsel of thine own heart: that thy soul be not torn in pieces as a bull straying alone.
|
|
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.
|
