Proverbs, 19
1. Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips, and unwise.
1. []
2. Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.
2. []
3. The folly of a man supplanteth his seeps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
3. ἀφροσύνη ἀνδρὸς λυμαίνεται τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ τὸν δὲ θεὸν αἰτιᾶται τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ
4. Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
4. πλοῦτος προστίθησιν φίλους πολλούς ὁ δὲ πτωχὸς καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑπάρχοντος φίλου λείπεται
5. A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
5. μάρτυς ψευδὴς οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται ὁ δὲ ἐγκαλῶν ἀδίκως οὐ διαφεύξεται
6. Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
6. πολλοὶ θεραπεύουσιν πρόσωπα βασιλέων πᾶς δὲ ὁ κακὸς γίνεται ὄνειδος ἀνδρί
7. The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.
7. πᾶς ὃς ἀδελφὸν πτωχὸν μισεῖ καὶ φιλίας μακρὰν ἔσται ἔννοια ἀγαθὴ τοῖς εἰδόσιν αὐτὴν ἐγγιεῖ ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος εὑρήσει αὐτήν ὁ πολλὰ κακοποιῶν τελεσιουργεῖ κακίαν ὃς δὲ ἐρεθίζει λόγους οὐ σωθήσεται
8. But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence shall find good things.
8. ὁ κτώμενος φρόνησιν ἀγαπᾷ ἑαυτόν ὃς δὲ φυλάσσει φρόνησιν εὑρήσει ἀγαθά
9. A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.
9. μάρτυς ψευδὴς οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται ὃς δ’ ἂν ἐκκαύσῃ κακίαν ἀπολεῖται ὑπ’ αὐτῆς
10. Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes.
10. οὐ συμφέρει ἄφρονι τρυφή καὶ ἐὰν οἰκέτης ἄρξηται μεθ’ ὕβρεως δυναστεύειν
11. The learning of a man is known by patience and his glory is to pass over wrongs.
11. ἐλεήμων ἀνὴρ μακροθυμεῖ τὸ δὲ καύχημα αὐτοῦ ἐπέρχεται παρανόμοις
12. As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.
12. βασιλέως ἀπειλὴ ὁμοία βρυγμῷ λέοντος ὥσπερ δὲ δρόσος ἐπὶ χόρτῳ οὕτως τὸ ἱλαρὸν αὐτοῦ
13. A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.
13. αἰσχύνη πατρὶ υἱὸς ἄφρων καὶ οὐχ ἁγναὶ εὐχαὶ ἀπὸ μισθώματος ἑταίρας
14. House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
14. οἶκον καὶ ὕπαρξιν μερίζουσιν πατέρες παισίν παρὰ δὲ θεοῦ ἁρμόζεται γυνὴ ἀνδρί
15. Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15. δειλία κατέχει ἀνδρογύναιον ψυχὴ δὲ ἀεργοῦ πεινάσει
16. He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.
16. ὃς φυλάσσει ἐντολήν τηρεῖ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν ὁ δὲ καταφρονῶν τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ὁδῶν ἀπολεῖται
17. He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.
17. δανίζει θεῷ ὁ ἐλεῶν πτωχόν κατὰ δὲ τὸ δόμα αὐτοῦ ἀνταποδώσει αὐτῷ
18. Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
18. παίδευε υἱόν σου οὕτως γὰρ ἔσται εὔελπις εἰς δὲ ὕβριν μὴ ἐπαίρου τῇ ψυχῇ σου
19. He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away he shall add another thing.
19. κακόφρων ἀνὴρ πολλὰ ζημιωθήσεται ἐὰν δὲ λοιμεύηται καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ προσθήσει
20. Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.
20. ἄκουε υἱέ παιδείαν πατρός σου ἵνα σοφὸς γένῃ ἐπ’ ἐσχάτων σου
21. There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm.
21. πολλοὶ λογισμοὶ ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀνδρός ἡ δὲ βουλὴ τοῦ κυρίου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει
22. A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.
22. καρπὸς ἀνδρὶ ἐλεημοσύνη κρείσσων δὲ πτωχὸς δίκαιος ἢ πλούσιος ψεύστης
23. The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in fulness without being visited with evil.
23. φόβος κυρίου εἰς ζωὴν ἀνδρί ὁ δὲ ἄφοβος αὐλισθήσεται ἐν τόποις οὗ οὐκ ἐπισκοπεῖται γνῶσις
24. The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth.
24. ὁ ἐγκρύπτων εἰς τὸν κόλπον αὐτοῦ χεῖρας ἀδίκως οὐδὲ τῷ στόματι οὐ μὴ προσαγάγῃ αὐτάς
25. The wicked man being; scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man he will understand discipline.
25. λοιμοῦ μαστιγουμένου ἄφρων πανουργότερος γίνεται ἐὰν δὲ ἐλέγχῃς ἄνδρα φρόνιμον νοήσει αἴσθησιν
26. He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy.
26. ὁ ἀτιμάζων πατέρα καὶ ἀπωθούμενος μητέρα αὐτοῦ καταισχυνθήσεται καὶ ἐπονείδιστος ἔσται
27. Cease not, O my son, to hear instruction, and be not ignorant of the words of knowledge.
27. υἱὸς ἀπολειπόμενος φυλάξαι παιδείαν πατρὸς μελετήσει ῥήσεις κακάς
28. An unjust witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
28. ὁ ἐγγυώμενος παῖδα ἄφρονα καθυβρίζει δικαίωμα στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν καταπίεται κρίσεις
29. Judgments are prepared for scorners: and striking hammers for the bodies of fools.
29. ἑτοιμάζονται ἀκολάστοις μάστιγες καὶ τιμωρίαι ὤμοις ἀφρόνων
