| 1 | Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them; |
|
υιέ,μὴζηλώσηςκακοὺςάνδραςμηδὲεπιθυμήσηςεῖναιμετ᾿αυτῶν·
|
|
| 2 | For their heart devises violence, And their lips talk of troublemaking. |
|
ψεύδηγὰρμελετᾶηκαρδίααυτῶν,καὶπόνουςτὰχείληαυτῶνλαλεῖ.
|
|
| 3 | Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; |
|
μετὰσοφίαςοικοδομεῖταιοῖκοςκαὶμετὰσυνέσεωςανορθοῦται·
|
|
| 4 | By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches. |
|
μετὰαισθήσεωςεμπίμπλαταιταμίειαεκπαντὸςπλούτουτιμίουκαὶκαλοῦ.
|
|
| 5 | A wise man is strong, Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength; |
|
κρείσσωνσοφὸςισχυροῦκαὶανὴρφρόνησινέχωνγεωργίουμεγάλου·
|
|
| 6 | For by wise counsel you will wage your own war, And in a multitude of counselors there is safety. |
|
μετὰκυβερνήσεωςγίνεταιπόλεμος,βοήθειαδὲμετὰκαρδίαςβουλευτικῆς.
|
|
| 7 | Wisdom is too lofty for a fool; He does not open his mouth in the gate. |
|
σοφίακαὶέννοιααγαθὴενπύλαιςσοφῶν·σοφοὶουκεκκλίνουσινεκστόματοςκυρίου,
|
|
| 8 | He who plots to do evil Will be called a schemer. |
|
αλλὰλογίζονταιενσυνεδρίοις.απαιδεύτοιςσυναντᾶθάνατος,
|
|
| 9 | The devising of foolishness is sin, And the scoffer is an abomination to men. |
|
αποθνήσκειδὲάφρωνεναμαρτίαις·ακαθαρσίαδὲανδρὶλοιμῶεμμολυνθήσεται
|
|
| 10 | If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small. |
|
ενημέρακακῆκαὶενημέραθλίψεως,έωςὰνεκλίπη.
|
|
| 11 | Deliver those who are drawn toward death, And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. |
|
ρῦσαιαγομένουςειςθάνατονκαὶεκπρίουκτεινομένους,μὴφείση·
|
|
| 12 | If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds? |
|
εὰνδὲείπηςΟυκοῖδατοῦτον,γίνωσκεότικύριοςκαρδίαςπάντωνγινώσκει,καὶοπλάσαςπνοὴνπᾶσιναυτὸςοῖδενπάντα,ὸςαποδίδωσινεκάστωκατὰτὰέργααυτοῦ.
|
|
| 13 | My son, eat honey because it is good, And the honeycomb which is sweet to your taste; |
|
φάγεμέλι,υιέ,αγαθὸνγὰρκηρίον,ίναγλυκανθῆσουοφάρυγξ·
|
|
| 14 | So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul; If you have found it, there is a prospect, And your hope will not be cut off. |
|
ούτωςαισθήσησοφίαντῆσῆψυχῆ·εὰνγὰρεύρης,έσταικαλὴητελευτήσου,καὶελπίςσεουκεγκαταλείψει.
|
|
| 15 | Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; Do not plunder his resting place; |
|
μὴπροσαγάγηςασεβῆνομῆδικαίωνμηδὲαπατηθῆςχορτασίακοιλίας·
|
|
| 16 | For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity. |
|
επτάκιγὰρπεσεῖταιοδίκαιοςκαὶαναστήσεται,οιδὲασεβεῖςασθενήσουσινενκακοῖς.
|
|
| 17 | Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; |
|
εὰνπέσηοεχθρόςσου,μὴεπιχαρῆςαυτῶ,ενδὲτῶυποσκελίσματιαυτοῦμὴεπαίρου·
|
|
| 18 | Lest the LORD see it, and it displease Him, And He turn away His wrath from him. |
|
ότιόψεταικύριος,καὶουκαρέσειαυτῶ,καὶαποστρέψειτὸνθυμὸναυτοῦαπ᾿αυτοῦ.
|
|
| 19 | Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the wicked; |
|
μὴχαῖρεεπὶκακοποιοῖςμηδὲζήλουαμαρτωλούς·
|
|
| 20 | For there will be no prospect for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out. |
|
ουγὰρμὴγένηταιέκγοναπονηρῶν,λαμπτὴρδὲασεβῶνσβεσθήσεται.
|
|
| 21 | My son, fear the LORD and the king; Do not associate with those given to change; |
|
φοβοῦτὸνθεόν,υιέ,καὶβασιλέακαὶμηθετέρωαυτῶναπειθήσης·
|
|
| 22 | For their calamity will rise suddenly, And who knows the ruin those two can bring? |
|
εξαίφνηςγὰρτείσονταιτοὺςασεβεῖς,τὰςδὲτιμωρίαςαμφοτέρωντίςγνώσεται;[λόγονφυλασσόμενοςυιὸςαπωλείαςεκτὸςέσται,δεχόμενοςδὲεδέξατοαυτόν.μηδὲνψεῦδοςαπὸγλώσσηςβασιλεῖλεγέσθω,καὶουδὲνψεῦδοςαπὸγλώσσηςαυτοῦουμὴεξέλθη.μάχαιραγλῶσσαβασιλέωςκαὶουσαρκίνη,ὸςδ᾿ὰνπαραδοθῆ,συντριβήσεται·εὰνγὰροξυνθῆοθυμὸςαυτοῦ,σὺννεύροιςανθρώπουςαναλίσκεικαὶοστᾶανθρώπωνκατατρώγεικαὶσυγκαίειώσπερφλὸξώστεάβρωταεῖναινεοσσοῖςαετῶν.Τοὺςεμοὺςλόγους,υιέ,φοβήθητικαὶδεξάμενοςαυτοὺςμετανόει·]
|
|
| 23 | These things also belong to the wise: It is not good to show partiality in judgment. |
|
Ταῦταδὲλέγωυμῖντοῖςσοφοῖςεπιγινώσκειν·αιδεῖσθαιπρόσωπονενκρίσειουκαλόν·
|
|
| 24 | He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” Him the people will curse; Nations will abhor him. |
|
οειπὼντὸνασεβῆΔίκαιόςεστιν,επικατάρατοςλαοῖςέσταικαὶμισητὸςειςέθνη·
|
|
| 25 | But those who rebuke the wicked will have delight, And a good blessing will come upon them. |
|
οιδὲελέγχοντεςβελτίουςφανοῦνται,επ᾿αυτοὺςδὲήξειευλογίααγαθή·
|
|
| 26 | He who gives a right answer kisses the lips. |
|
χείληδὲφιλήσουσιναποκρινόμεναλόγουςαγαθούς.
|
|
| 27 | Prepare your outside work, Make it fit for yourself in the field; And afterward build your house. |
|
ετοίμαζεειςτὴνέξοδοντὰέργασουκαὶπαρασκευάζουειςτὸναγρὸνκαὶπορεύουκατόπισθένμουκαὶανοικοδομήσειςτὸνοῖκόνσου.
|
|
| 28 | Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause, For would you deceive with your lips? |
|
μὴίσθιψευδὴςμάρτυςεπὶσὸνπολίτηνμηδὲπλατύνουσοῖςχείλεσιν·
|
|
| 29 | Do not say, “I will do to him just as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work.” |
|
μὴείπηςῸντρόπονεχρήσατόμοιχρήσομαιαυτῶ,τείσομαιδὲαυτὸνάμεηδίκησεν.
|
|
| 30 | I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding; |
|
ώσπεργεώργιονανὴράφρων,καὶώσπεραμπελὼνάνθρωποςενδεὴςφρενῶν·
|
|
| 31 | And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was broken down. |
|
εὰναφῆςαυτόν,χερσωθήσεταικαὶχορτομανήσειόλοςκαὶγίνεταιεκλελειμμένος,οιδὲφραγμοὶτῶνλίθωναυτοῦκατασκάπτονται.
|
|
| 32 | When I saw it, I considered it well; I looked on it and received instruction: |
|
ύστερονεγὼμετενόησα,επέβλεψατοῦεκλέξασθαιπαιδείαν.
|
|
| 33 | A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest; |
|
ολίγοννυστάζω,ολίγονδὲκαθυπνῶ,ολίγονδὲεναγκαλίζομαιχερσὶνστήθη·
|
|
| 34 | So shall your poverty come like a prowler, And your need like an armed man. |
|
εὰνδὲτοῦτοποιῆς,ήξειπροπορευομένηηπενίασουκαὶηένδειάσουώσπεραγαθὸςδρομεύς.
