|
| ΑΚΟΥΣΑΤΕ οὖν, βασιλεῖς, καὶ σύνετε· μάθετε, δικασταὶ περάτων γῆς. | Hear therefore, O ye kings, and understand; learn, ye that be judges of the ends of the earth. |
|
2
|
2
|
| ἐνωτίσασθε οἱ κρατοῦντες πλήθους καὶ γεγαυρωμένοι ἐπὶ ὄχλοις ἐθνῶν· | Give ear, ye that rule the people, and glory in the multitude of nations. |
|
3
|
3
|
| ὅτι ἐδόθη παρὰ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡ κράτησις ὑμῖν καὶ ἡ δυναστεία παρὰ ῾Υψίστου, ὃς ἐξετάσει ὑμῶν τὰ ἔργα καὶ τὰς βουλὰς διερευνήσει· | For power is given you of the Lord, and sovereignty from the Highest, who shall try your works, and search out your counsels. |
|
4
|
4
|
| ὅτι ὑπηρέται ὄντες τῆς αὐτοῦ βασιλείας οὐκ ἐκρίνατε ὀρθῶς, οὐδὲ ἐφυλάξατε νόμον, οὐδὲ κατὰ τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπορεύθητε. | Because, being ministers of his kingdom, ye have not judged aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after the counsel of God; |
|
5
|
5
|
| φρικτῶς καὶ ταχέως ἐπιστήσεται ὑμῖν, ὅτι κρίσις ἀπότομος ἐν τοῖς ὑπερέχουσι γίνεται. | horribly and speedily shall he come upon you: for a sharp judgment shall be to them that be in high places. |
|
6
|
6
|
| ὁ γὰρ ἐλάχιστος συγγνωστός ἐστιν ἐλέους, δυνατοὶ δὲ δυνατῶς ἐτασθήσονται· | For mercy will soon pardon the meanest: but mighty men shall be mightily tormented. |
|
7
|
7
|
| οὐ γὰρ ὑποστελεῖται πρόσωπον ὁ πάντων δεσπότης, οὐδὲ ἐντραπήσεται μέγεθος, ὅτι μικρὸν καὶ μέγαν αὐτὸς ἐποίησεν ὁμοίως τε προνοεῖ περὶ πάντων· | For he which is Lord over all shall fear no man's person, neither shall he stand in awe of any man's greatness: for he hath made the small and great, and careth for all alike. |
|
8
|
8
|
| τοῖς δὲ κραταιοῖς ἰσχυρὰ ἐφίσταται ἔρευνα. | But a sore trial shall come upon the mighty. |
|
9
|
9
|
| πρὸς ὑμᾶς οὖν, ὦ τύραννοι, οἱ λόγοι μου, ἵνα μάθητε σοφίαν καὶ μὴ παραπέσητε· | Unto you therefore, O kings, do I speak, that ye may learn wisdom, and not fall away. |
|
10
|
10
|
| οἱ γὰρ φυλάξαντες ὁσίως τὰ ὅσια ὁσιωθήσονται, καὶ οἱ διδαχθέντες αὐτὰ εὑρήσουσιν ἀπολογίαν. | For they that keep holiness holily shall be judged holy: and they that have learned such things shall find what to answer. |
|
11
|
11
|
| ἐπιθυμήσατε οὖν τῶν λόγων μου, ποθήσατε καὶ παιδευθήσεσθε. | Wherefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, and ye shall be instructed. |
|
12
|
12
|
| Λαμπρὰ καὶ ἀμάραντός ἐστιν ἡ σοφία και εὐχερῶς θεωρεῖται ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγαπώντων αὐτὴν καὶ εὑρίσκεται ὑπὸ τῶν ζητούντων αὐτήν, | Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away: yea, she is easily seen of them that love her, and found of such as seek her. |
|
13
|
13
|
| φθάνει τοὺς ἐπιθυμοῦντας προγνωσθῆναι. | She preventeth them that desire her, in making herself first known unto them. |
|
14
|
14
|
| ὁ ὀρθρίσας πρὸς αὐτὴν οὐ κοπιάσει, πάρεδρον γὰρ εὑρήσει τῶν πυλῶν αὐτοῦ. | Whoso seeketh her early shall have no great travail: for he shall find her sitting at his doors. |
|
15
|
15
|
| τὸ γὰρ ἐνθυμηθῆναι περὶ αὐτῆς φρονήσεως τελειότης, καὶ ὁ ἀγρυπνήσας δι᾿ αὐτὴν ταχέως ἀμέριμνος ἔσται· | To think therefore upon her is the perfection of wisdom: and whoso watcheth for her shall quickly be without care. |
|
16
|
16
|
| ὅτι τοὺς ἀξίους αὐτῆς αὕτη περιέρχεται ζητοῦσα καὶ ἐν ταῖς τρίβοις φαντάζεται αὐτοῖς εὐμενῶς καὶ ἐν πάσῃ ἐπινοίᾳ ὑπαντᾷ αὐτοῖς. | For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, sheweth herself favourably unto them in the ways, and meeteth them in every thought. |
|
17
|
17
|
| ἀρχὴ γὰρ αὐτῆς ἡ ἀληθεστάτη παιδείας ἐπιθυμία, φροντὶς δὲ παιδείας ἀγάπη, | For the very true beginning of her is the desire of discipline; and the care of discipline is love; |
|
18
|
18
|
| ἀγάπη δέ τήρησις νόμων αὐτῆς, προσοχὴ δὲ νόμων βεβαίωσις ἀφθαρσίας, | and love is the keeping of her laws; and the giving heed unto her laws is the assurance of incorruption; |
|
19
|
19
|
| ἀφθαρσία δὲ ἐγγὺς εἶναι ποιεῖ Θεοῦ. | and incorruption maketh us near unto God: |
|
20
|
20
|
| ἐπιθυμία ἄρα σοφίας ἀνάγει ἐπὶ βασιλείαν. | therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom. |
|
21
|
21
|
| εἰ οὖν ἥδεσθε ἐπὶ θρόνοις καὶ σκήπτροις, τύραννοι λαῶν, τιμήσατε σοφίαν, ἵνα εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα βασιλεύσητε. | If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore. |
|
22
|
22
|
| τί δέ ἐστι σοφία καὶ πῶς ἐγένετο, ἀπαγγελῶ καὶ οὐκ ἀποκρύψω ὑμῖν μυστήρια, ἀλλὰ ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς γενέσεως ἐξιχνιάσω καὶ θήσω εἰς τὸ ἐμφανὲς τὴν γνῶσιν αὐτῆς καὶ οὐ μὴ παροδεύσω τὴν ἀλήθειαν. | As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you: but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth. |
|
23
|
23
|
| οὔτε μὴν φθόνῳ τετηκότι συνοδεύσω, ὅτι οὗτος οὐ κοινωνήσει σοφίᾳ. | Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom. |
|
24
|
24
|
| πλῆθος δὲ σοφῶν σωτηρία κόσμου, καὶ βασιλεὺς φρόνιμος εὐστάθεια δήμου. | But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people. |
|
25
|
25
|
| ὥστε παιδεύσθε τοῖς ρήμασί μου, καὶ ὠφεληθήσεσθε. | Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it shall do you good. |
