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. |
