| 1 υἱέ ἐὰν ἐγγυήσῃ σὸν φίλον παραδώσεις σὴν χεῖρα ἐχθρῷ 2 παγὶς γὰρ ἰσχυρὰ ἀνδρὶ τὰ ἴδια χείλη καὶ ἁλίσκεται χείλεσιν ἰδίου στόματος 3 ποίει υἱέ ἃ ἐγώ σοι ἐντέλλομαι καὶ σῴζου ἥκεις γὰρ εἰς χεῖρας κακῶν διὰ σὸν φίλον ἴθι μὴ ἐκλυόμενος παρόξυνε δὲ καὶ τὸν φίλον σου ὃν ἐνεγυήσω 4 μὴ δῷς ὕπνον σοῖς ὄμμασιν μηδὲ ἐπινυστάξῃς σοῖς βλεφάροις 5 ἵνα σῴζῃ ὥσπερ δορκὰς ἐκ βρόχων καὶ ὥσπερ ὄρνεον ἐκ παγίδος | 1 My son, if you be surety for your friend, you have engaged fast your hand to a stranger, 2 you are ensnared with the words of your mouth, and caught with your own words. 3 Do, therefore, my son, what I say, and deliver yourself: because you are fallen into the hand of your neighbour. Run about, make haste, stir up your friend: 4 Give not sleep to your eyes, neither let your eyelids slumber. 5 Deliver yourself as a doe from the hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. | 1 Fili mi, si spoponderis pro amico tuo, defixisti apud extraneum manum tuam : 2 illaqueatus es verbis oris tui, et captus propriis sermonibus. 3 Fac ergo quod dico, fili mi, et temetipsum libera, quia incidisti in manum proximi tui. Discurre, festina, suscita amicum tuum. 4 Ne dederis somnum oculis tuis, nec dormitent palpebræ tuæ. 5 Eruere quasi damula de manu, et quasi avis de manu aucupis. |
| 6 ἴθι πρὸς τὸν μύρμηκα ὦ ὀκνηρέ καὶ ζήλωσον ἰδὼν τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ γενοῦ ἐκείνου σοφώτερος 7 ἐκείνῳ γὰρ γεωργίου μὴ ὑπάρχοντος μηδὲ τὸν ἀναγκάζοντα ἔχων μηδὲ ὑπὸ δεσπότην ὢν 8 ἑτοιμάζεται θέρους τὴν τροφὴν πολλήν τε ἐν τῷ ἀμήτῳ ποιεῖται τὴν παράθεσιν ἢ πορεύθητι πρὸς τὴν μέλισσαν καὶ μάθε ὡς ἐργάτις ἐστὶν τήν τε ἐργασίαν ὡς σεμνὴν ποιεῖται ἧς τοὺς πόνους βασιλεῖς καὶ ἰδιῶται πρὸς ὑγίειαν προσφέρονται ποθεινὴ δέ ἐστιν πᾶσιν καὶ ἐπίδοξος καίπερ οὖσα τῇ ῥώμῃ ἀσθενής τὴν σοφίαν τιμήσασα προήχθη 9 ἕως τίνος ὀκνηρέ κατάκεισαι πότε δὲ ἐξ ὕπνου ἐγερθήσῃ 10 ὀλίγον μὲν ὑπνοῖς ὀλίγον δὲ κάθησαι μικρὸν δὲ νυστάζεις ὀλίγον δὲ ἐναγκαλίζῃ χερσὶν στήθη 11 εἶτ' ἐμπαραγίνεταί σοι ὥσπερ κακὸς ὁδοιπόρος ἡ πενία καὶ ἡ ἔνδεια ὥσπερ ἀγαθὸς δρομεύς ἐὰν δὲ ἄοκνος ᾖς ἥξει ὥσπερ πηγὴ ὁ ἀμητός σου ἡ δὲ ἔνδεια ὥσπερ κακὸς δρομεὺς ἀπαυτομολήσει 12 ἀνὴρ ἄφρων καὶ παράνομος πορεύεται ὁδοὺς οὐκ ἀγαθάς 13 ὁ δ' αὐτὸς ἐννεύει ὀφθαλμῷ σημαίνει δὲ ποδί διδάσκει δὲ ἐννεύμασιν δακτύλων 14 διεστραμμένῃ δὲ καρδίᾳ τεκταίνεται κακὰ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ ὁ τοιοῦτος ταραχὰς συνίστησιν πόλει 15 διὰ τοῦτο ἐξαπίνης ἔρχεται ἡ ἀπώλεια αὐτοῦ διακοπὴ καὶ συντριβὴ ἀνίατος | 6 Go to the ant, O sluggard, and consider her ways, and learn wisdom: 7 Which, although she has no guide, nor master, nor captain, 8 provides her meat for herself in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. 9 How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? 10 You will sleep a little, you will slumber a little, you will fold your hands a little to sleep: 11 And want shall come upon you, as a traveller, and poverty as a man armed. But if you be diligent, your harvest shall come as a fountain, and want shall flee far from you. 12 A man that is an apostate, an unprofitable man, walks with a perverse mouth, 13 he winks with the eyes, presses with the foot, speaks with the finger. 14 With a wicked heart he devises evil, and at all times he sows discord. 15 To such a one his destruction shall presently come, and he shall suddenly be destroyed, and shall no longer have any remedy. | 6 Vade ad formicam, o piger, et considera vias ejus, et disce sapientiam. 7 Quæ cum non habeat ducem, nec præceptorem, nec principem, 8 parat in æstate cibum sibi, et congregat in messe quod comedat. 9 Usquequo, piger, dormies? quando consurges e somno tuo? 10 Paululum dormies, paululum dormitabis, paululum conseres manus ut dormias; 11 et veniet tibi quasi viator egestas, et pauperies quasi vir armatus. Si vero impiger fueris, veniet ut fons messis tua, et egestas longe fugiet a te. 12 Homo apostata, vir inutilis, graditur ore perverso; 13 annuit oculis, terit pede, digito loquitur, 14 pravo corde machinatur malum, et omni tempore jurgia seminat. 15 Huic extemplo veniet perditio sua, et subito conteretur, nec habebit ultra medicinam. |
| 16 ὅτι χαίρει πᾶσιν οἷς μισεῖ ὁ κύριος συντρίβεται δὲ δι' ἀκαθαρσίαν ψυχῆς 17 ὀφθαλμὸς ὑβριστοῦ γλῶσσα ἄδικος χεῖρες ἐκχέουσαι αἷμα δικαίου 18 καὶ καρδία τεκταινομένη λογισμοὺς κακοὺς καὶ πόδες ἐπισπεύδοντες κακοποιεῖν 19 ἐκκαίει ψεύδη μάρτυς ἄδικος καὶ ἐπιπέμπει κρίσεις ἀνὰ μέσον ἀδελφῶν | 16 Six things there are, which the Lord hates, and the seventh his soul detests: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked plots, feet that are swift to run into mischief, 19 a deceitful witness that utters lies, and him that sows discord among brethren. | 16 Sex sunt quæ odit Dominus, et septimum detestatur anima ejus : 17 oculos sublimes, linguam mendacem, manus effundentes innoxium sanguinem, 18 cor machinans cogitationes pessimas, pedes veloces ad currendum in malum, 19 proferentem mendacia testem fallacem, et eum qui seminat inter fratres discordias. |
| 20 υἱέ φύλασσε νόμους πατρός σου καὶ μὴ ἀπώσῃ θεσμοὺς μητρός σου 21 ἄφαψαι δὲ αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ σῇ ψυχῇ διὰ παντὸς καὶ ἐγκλοίωσαι ἐπὶ σῷ τραχήλῳ 22 ἡνίκα ἂν περιπατῇς ἐπάγου αὐτήν καὶ μετὰ σοῦ ἔστω ὡς δ' ἂν καθεύδῃς φυλασσέτω σε ἵνα ἐγειρομένῳ συλλαλῇ σοι 23 ὅτι λύχνος ἐντολὴ νόμου καὶ φῶς καὶ ὁδὸς ζωῆς ἔλεγχος καὶ παιδεία 24 τοῦ διαφυλάσσειν σε ἀπὸ γυναικὸς ὑπάνδρου καὶ ἀπὸ διαβολῆς γλώσσης ἀλλοτρίας 25 μή σε νικήσῃ κάλλους ἐπιθυμία μηδὲ ἀγρευθῇς σοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς μηδὲ συναρπασθῇς ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῆς βλεφάρων 26 τιμὴ γὰρ πόρνης ὅση καὶ ἑνὸς ἄρτου γυνὴ δὲ ἀνδρῶν τιμίας ψυχὰς ἀγρεύει 27 ἀποδήσει τις πῦρ ἐν κόλπῳ τὰ δὲ ἱμάτια οὐ κατακαύσει 28 ἢ περιπατήσει τις ἐπ' ἀνθράκων πυρός τοὺς δὲ πόδας οὐ κατακαύσει 29 οὕτως ὁ εἰσελθὼν πρὸς γυναῖκα ὕπανδρον οὐκ ἀθῳωθήσεται οὐδὲ πᾶς ὁ ἁπτόμενος αὐτῆς 30 οὐ θαυμαστὸν ἐὰν ἁλῷ τις κλέπτων κλέπτει γὰρ ἵνα ἐμπλήσῃ τὴν ψυχὴν πεινῶν 31 ἐὰν δὲ ἁλῷ ἀποτείσει ἑπταπλάσια καὶ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ δοὺς ῥύσεται ἑαυτόν 32 ὁ δὲ μοιχὸς δι' ἔνδειαν φρενῶν ἀπώλειαν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ περιποιεῖται 33 ὀδύνας τε καὶ ἀτιμίας ὑποφέρει τὸ δὲ ὄνειδος αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξαλειφθήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα 34 μεστὸς γὰρ ζήλου θυμὸς ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς οὐ φείσεται ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κρίσεως 35 οὐκ ἀνταλλάξεται οὐδενὸς λύτρου τὴν ἔχθραν οὐδὲ μὴ διαλυθῇ πολλῶν δώρων | 20 My son, keep the commandments of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother. 21 Bind them in your heart continually, and put them about your neck. 22 When you walk, let them go with you: when you sleep, let them keep you, and when you awaken, talk with them. 23 Because the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: 24 That they may keep you from the evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of the stranger. 25 Let not your heart covet her beauty, be not caught with her winks: 26 For the price of a harlot is scarce one loaf: but the woman catches the precious soul of a man. 27 Can a man hide fire in his bosom, and his garments not burn? 28 Or can he walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be burnt? 29 So he that goes in to his neighbour's wife, shall not be clean when he shall touch her. 30 The fault is not so great when a man has stolen: for he steals to fill his hungry soul: 31 And if he be taken, he shall restore sevenfold, and shall give up all the substance of his house. 32 But he that is an adulterer, for the folly of his heart shall destroy his own soul: 33 He gathers to himself shame and dishonour, and his reproach shall not be blotted out: 34 Because the jealousy and rage of the husband will not spare in the day of revenge, 35 nor will he yield to any man's prayers, nor will he accept for satisfaction ever so many gifts. | 20 Conserva, fili mi, præcepta patris tui, et ne dimittas legem matris tuæ. 21 Liga ea in corde tuo jugiter, et circumda gutturi tuo. 22 Cum ambulaveris, gradiantur tecum; cum dormieris, custodiant te : et evigilans loquere cum eis. 23 Quia mandatum lucerna est, et lex lux, et via vitæ increpatio disciplinæ : 24 ut custodiant te a muliere mala, et a blanda lingua extraneæ. 25 Non concupiscat pulchritudinem ejus cor tuum, nec capiaris nutibus illius : 26 pretium enim scorti vix est unius panis, mulier autem viri pretiosam animam capit. 27 Numquid potest homo abscondere ignem in sinu suo, ut vestimenta illius non ardeant? 28 aut ambulare super prunas, ut non comburantur plantæ ejus? 29 sic qui ingreditur ad mulierem proximi sui, non erit mundus cum tetigerit eam. 30 Non grandis est culpa cum quis furatus fuerit : furatur enim ut esurientem impleat animam; 31 deprehensus quoque reddet septuplum, et omnem substantiam domus suæ tradet. 32 Qui autem adulter est, propter cordis inopiam perdet animam suam; 33 turpitudinem et ignominiam congregat sibi, et opprobrium illius non delebitur : 34 quia zelus et furor viri non parcet in die vindictæ, 35 nec acquiescet cujusquam precibus, nec suscipiet pro redemptione dona plurima. |
