Chapter 8
|
|
1
|
1
|
|
ΜΗ ποίει κακά, καὶ οὐ μή σε καταλάβῃ κακόν·
|
Strive not with a mighty man, lest thou fall into his hands.
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
ἀπόστηθι ἀπὸ ἀδίκου, καὶ ἐκκλινεῖ ἀπὸ σοῦ.
|
Be not at variance with a rich man, lest he overweigh thee: for gold hath destroyed many, and perverted the hearts of kings.
|
|
3
|
3
|
|
υἱέ, μὴ σπεῖρε ἐπ᾿ αὔλακας ἀδικίας, καὶ οὐ μὴ θερίσῃς αὐτὰς ἑπταπλασίως.
|
Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire.
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
μὴ ζήτει παρὰ Κυρίου ἡγεμονίαν, μηδὲ παρὰ βασιλέως καθέδραν δόξης.
|
Jest not with a rude man, lest thy ancestors be disgraced.
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
μὴ δικαιοῦ ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ παρὰ βασιλεῖ μὴ σοφίζου.
|
Reproach not a man that turneth from sin, but remember that we are all worthy of punishment.
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
μὴ ζήτει γενέσθαι κριτής, μὴ οὐκ ἐξισχύσεις ἐξᾶραι ἀδικίας· μή ποτε εὐλαβηθῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου δυνάστου καὶ θήσεις σκάνδαλον ἐν εὐθύτητί σου.
|
Dishonour not a man in his old age: for even some of us wax old.
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
μὴ ἁμάρτανε εἰς πλῆθος πόλεως καὶ μὴ καταβάλῃς σεαυτὸν ἐν ὄχλῳ.
|
Rejoice not over thy greatest enemy being dead, but remember that we die all.
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
μὴ καταδεσμεύσῃς δὶς ἁμαρτίαν, ἐν γὰρ τῇ μιᾷ οὐκ ἀθῷος ἔσῃ.
|
Despise not the discourse of the wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs: for of them thou shalt learn instruction, and how to serve great men with ease.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
μὴ εἴπῃς· τῷ πλήθει τῶν δώρων μου ἐπόψεται καὶ ἐν τῷ προσενέγκαι με Θεῷ ῾Υψίστῳ προσδέξεται.
|
Miss not the discourse of the elders: for they also learned of their fathers, and of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give answer as need requireth.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
μὴ ὀλιγοψυχήσῃς ἐν τῇ προσευχῇ σου καὶ ἐλεημοσύνην ποιῆσαι μὴ παρίδῃς.
|
Kindle not the coals of a sinner, lest thou be burnt with the flame of his fire.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
μὴ καταγέλα ἄνθρωπον ὄντα ἐν πικρίᾳ ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ, ἔστι γὰρ ὁ ταπεινῶν καὶ ἀνυψῶν.
|
Rise not up in anger at the presence of an injurious person, lest he lie in wait to entrap thee in thy words.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
μὴ ἀροτρία ψεῦδος ἐπ᾿ ἀδελφῷ σου, μηδὲ φίλῳ τὸ ὅμοιον ποίει.
|
Lend not unto him that is mightier than thyself; for if thou lendest him, count it but lost.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
μὴ θέλε ψεύδεσθαι πᾶν ψεῦδος, ὁ γὰρ ἐνδελεχισμὸς αὐτοῦ οὐκ εἰς ἀγαθόν.
|
Be not surety above thy power: for if thou be surety, take care to pay it.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
μὴ ἀδελέσχει ἐν πλήθει πρεσβυτέρων καὶ μὴ δευτερώσῃς λόγον ἐν προσευχῇ σου.
|
Go not to law with a judge; for they will judge for him according to his honour.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
μὴ μισήσῃς ἐπίπονον ἐργασίαν καὶ γεωργίαν ὑπὸ ῾Υψίστου ἐκτισμένην.
|
Travel not by the way with a bold fellow, lest he become grievous unto thee: for he will do according to his own will, and thou shalt perish with him through his folly.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
μὴ προσλογίζου σεαυτὸν ἐν πλήθει ἁμαρτωλῶν. μνήσθητι ὅτι ὀργὴ οὐ χρονιεῖ.
|
Strive not with an angry man, and go not with him into a solitary place: for blood is as nothing in his sight; and where there is no help, he will overthrow thee.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
ταπείνωσον σφόδρα τὴν ψυχήν σου, ὅτι ἐκδίκησις ἀσεβοῦς πῦρ καὶ σκώληξ.
|
Consult not with a fool; for he cannot keep counsel.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
Μὴ ἀλλάξῃς φίλον ἕνεκεν διαφόρου, μηδ᾿ ἀδελφὸν γνήσιον ἐν χρυσίῳ Σουφείρ.
|
Do no secret thing before a stranger: for thou knowest not what he will bring forth.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
μὴ ἀστόχει γυναικὸς σοφῆς καὶ ἀγαθῆς, ἡ γὰρ χάρις αὐτῆς ὑπὲρ τὸ χρυσίον.
|
Open not thine heart to every man, lest he requite thee with a shrewd turn.
|
|
20
|
|
|
μὴ κακώσῃς οἰκέτην ἐργαζόμενον ἐν ἀληθείᾳ, μηδὲ μίσθιον διδόντα ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ.
|
|
|
21
|
|
|
οἰκέτην συνετὸν ἀγαπάτω σου ἡ ψυχή, μὴ στερήσῃς αὐτὸν ἐλευθερίας.
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
κτήνη σοί ἐστιν, ἐπισκέπτου αὐτὰ καὶ εἰ ἔστι σοι χρήσιμα, ἐμμενέτω σοι.
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
τέκνα σοί ἐστι, παίδευσον αὐτά, καὶ κάμψον ἐκ νεότητος τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν.
|
|
|
24
|
|
|
θυγατέρες σοί εἰσι, πρόσεχε τῷ σώματι αὐτῶν, καὶ μὴ ἱλαρώσῃς πρὸς αὐτὰς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου.
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
ἔκδου θυγατέρα, καὶ ἔσῃ τετελεκὼς ἔργον μέγα, καὶ ἀνδρὶ συνετῷ δώρησαι αὐτήν.
|
|
|
26
|
|
|
γυνή σοί ἐστι κατὰ ψυχήν, μὴ ἐκβάλῃς αὐτήν· καὶ μισουμένῃ μὴ ἐμπιστεύσῃς σεαυτόν.
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
᾿Εν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ δόξασον τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ μητρὸς ὠδῖνας μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ·
|
|
|
28
|
|
|
μνήσθητι ὅτι δι᾿ αὐτῶν ἐγεννήθης, καὶ τί ἀνταποδώσεις αὐτοῖς καθὼς αὐτοί σοι;
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
ἐν ὅλῃ ψυχῇ σου εὐλαβοῦ τὸν Κύριον καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ θαύμαζε.
|
|
|
30
|
|
|
ἐν ὅλῃ δυνάμει ἀγάπησον τὸν ποιήσαντά σε καὶ τοὺς λειτουργοὺς αὐτοῦ μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς.
|
|
|
31
|
|
|
φοβοῦ τὸν Κύριον καὶ δόξασον ἱερέα καὶ δῷς τὴν μερίδα αὐτῷ, καθὼς ἐντέταλταί σοι, ἀπαρχὴν καὶ περὶ πλημμελείας καὶ δόσιν βραχιόνων καὶ θυσίαν ἁγιασμοῦ καὶ ἀπαρχὴν ἁγίων.
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
Καὶ πτωχῷ ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρά σου, ἵνα τελειωθῇ ἡ εὐλογία σου.
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
χάρις δόματος ἔναντι παντὸς ζῶντος, καὶ ἐπὶ νεκρῷ μὴ ἀποκωλύσῃς χάριν.
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
μὴ ὑστέρει ἀπὸ κλαιόντων καὶ μετὰ πενθούντων πένθησον.
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
μὴ ὄκνει ἐπισκέπτεσθαι ἄρρωστον, ἐκ γὰρ τῶν τοιούτων ἀγαπηθήσῃ.
|
|
|
36
|
|
|
ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς λόγοις σου μιμνήσκου τὰ ἔσχατά σου, καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα οὐχ ἁμαρτήσεις.
|
