| 1 | Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. |
|
.
|
|
| 2 | Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, And he sins who hastens with his feet. |
|
.
|
|
| 3 | The foolishness of a man twists his way, And his heart frets against the LORD. |
|
αφροσύνηανδρὸςλυμαίνεταιτὰςοδοὺςαυτοῦ,τὸνδὲθεὸναιτιᾶταιτῆκαρδίααυτοῦ.
|
|
| 4 | Wealth makes many friends, But the poor is separated from his friend. |
|
πλοῦτοςπροστίθησινφίλουςπολλούς,οδὲπτωχὸςκαὶαπὸτοῦυπάρχοντοςφίλουλείπεται.
|
|
| 5 | A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who speaks lies will not escape. |
|
μάρτυςψευδὴςουκατιμώρητοςέσται,οδὲεγκαλῶναδίκωςουδιαφεύξεται.
|
|
| 6 | Many entreat the favor of the nobility, And every man is a friend to one who gives gifts. |
|
πολλοὶθεραπεύουσινπρόσωπαβασιλέων,πᾶςδὲοκακὸςγίνεταιόνειδοςανδρί.
|
|
| 7 | All the brothers of the poor hate him; How much more do his friends go far from him! He may pursue them with words, yet they abandon him. |
|
πᾶς,ὸςαδελφὸνπτωχὸνμισεῖ,καὶφιλίαςμακρὰνέσται.έννοιααγαθὴτοῖςειδόσιναυτὴνεγγιεῖ,ανὴρδὲφρόνιμοςευρήσειαυτήν.οπολλὰκακοποιῶντελεσιουργεῖκακίαν·ὸςδὲερεθίζειλόγους,ουσωθήσεται.
|
|
| 8 | He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good. |
|
οκτώμενοςφρόνησιναγαπᾶεαυτόν·ὸςδὲφυλάσσειφρόνησιν,ευρήσειαγαθά.
|
|
| 9 | A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who speaks lies shall perish. |
|
μάρτυςψευδὴςουκατιμώρητοςέσται·ὸςδ᾿ὰνεκκαύσηκακίαν,απολεῖταιυπ᾿αυτῆς.
|
|
| 10 | Luxury is not fitting for a fool, Much less for a servant to rule over princes. |
|
ουσυμφέρειάφρονιτρυφή,καὶεὰνοικέτηςάρξηταιμεθ᾿ύβρεωςδυναστεύειν.
|
|
| 11 | The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, And his glory is to overlook a transgression. |
|
ελεήμωνανὴρμακροθυμεῖ,τὸδὲκαύχημααυτοῦεπέρχεταιπαρανόμοις.
|
|
| 12 | The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, But his favor is like dew on the grass. |
|
βασιλέωςαπειλὴομοίαβρυγμῶλέοντος·ώσπερδὲδρόσοςεπὶχόρτω,ούτωςτὸιλαρὸναυτοῦ.
|
|
| 13 | A foolish son is the ruin of his father, And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping. |
|
αισχύνηπατρὶυιὸςάφρων,καὶουχαγναὶευχαὶαπὸμισθώματοςεταίρας.
|
|
| 14 | Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the LORD. |
|
οῖκονκαὶύπαρξινμερίζουσινπατέρεςπαισίν,παρὰδὲθεοῦαρμόζεταιγυνὴανδρί.
|
|
| 15 | Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, And an idle person will suffer hunger. |
|
δειλίακατέχειανδρογύναιον,ψυχὴδὲαεργοῦπεινάσει.
|
|
| 16 | He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, But he who is careless of his ways will die. |
|
ὸςφυλάσσειεντολήν,τηρεῖτὴνεαυτοῦψυχήν·οδὲκαταφρονῶντῶνεαυτοῦοδῶναπολεῖται.
|
|
| 17 | He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD, And He will pay back what he has given. |
|
δανίζειθεῶοελεῶνπτωχόν,κατὰδὲτὸδόμααυτοῦανταποδώσειαυτῶ.
|
|
| 18 | Chasten your son while there is hope, And do not set your heart on his destruction. |
|
παίδευευιόνσου,ούτωςγὰρέσταιεύελπις·ειςδὲύβρινμὴεπαίρουτῆψυχῆσου.
|
|
| 19 | A man of great wrath will suffer punishment; For if you rescue him, you will have to do it again. |
|
κακόφρωνανὴρπολλὰζημιωθήσεται·εὰνδὲλοιμεύηται,καὶτὴνψυχὴναυτοῦπροσθήσει.
|
|
| 20 | Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. |
|
άκουε,υιέ,παιδείανπατρόςσου,ίνασοφὸςγένηεπ᾿εσχάτωνσου.
|
|
| 21 | There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel—that will stand. |
|
πολλοὶλογισμοὶενκαρδίαανδρός,ηδὲβουλὴτοῦκυρίουειςτὸναιῶναμένει.
|
|
| 22 | What is desired in a man is kindness, And a poor man is better than a liar. |
|
καρπὸςανδρὶελεημοσύνη,κρείσσωνδὲπτωχὸςδίκαιοςὴπλούσιοςψεύστης.
|
|
| 23 | The fear of the LORD leads to life, And he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil. |
|
φόβοςκυρίουειςζωὴνανδρί,οδὲάφοβοςαυλισθήσεταιεντόποις,οῦουκεπισκοπεῖταιγνῶσις.
|
|
| 24 | A lazy man buries his hand in the bowl, And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. |
|
οεγκρύπτωνειςτὸνκόλποναυτοῦχεῖραςαδίκως,ουδὲτῶστόματιουμὴπροσαγάγηαυτάς.
|
|
| 25 | Strike a scoffer, and the simple will become wary; Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will discern knowledge. |
|
λοιμοῦμαστιγουμένουάφρωνπανουργότεροςγίνεται·εὰνδὲελέγχηςάνδραφρόνιμον,νοήσειαίσθησιν.
|
|
| 26 | He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother Is a son who causes shame and brings reproach. |
|
οατιμάζωνπατέρακαὶαπωθούμενοςμητέρααυτοῦκαταισχυνθήσεταικαὶεπονείδιστοςέσται.
|
|
| 27 | Cease listening to instruction, my son, And you will stray from the words of knowledge. |
|
υιὸςαπολειπόμενοςφυλάξαιπαιδείανπατρὸςμελετήσειρήσειςκακάς.
|
|
| 28 | A disreputable witness scorns justice, And the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity. |
|
οεγγυώμενοςπαῖδαάφρονακαθυβρίζειδικαίωμα,στόμαδὲασεβῶνκαταπίεταικρίσεις.
|
|
| 29 | Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And beatings for the backs of fools. |
|
ετοιμάζονταιακολάστοιςμάστιγεςκαὶτιμωρίαιώμοιςαφρόνων.
