Notes on this text (1)
LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Κρείσσων ψωμὸς μεθʼ ἡδονῆς ἐν εἰρήνῃ, ἢ οἶκος πολλῶν ἀγαθῶν καὶ ἀδίκων θυμάτων μετὰ μάχης.
1 Better is a dry morsel with quietness, than a house full of feasting with strife.
2 Οἰκέτης νοήμων κρατήσει δεσποτῶν ἀφρόνων, ἐν δὲ ἀδελφοῖς διελεῖται μέρη.
2 A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who causes shame, and shall have a part in the inheritance among the brothers.
3 Ὥσπερ δοκιμάζεται ἐν καμίνῳ ἄργυρος καὶ χρυσὸς, οὕτως ἐκλεκταὶ καρδίαι παρὰ Κυρίῳ.
3 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but Yahweh tests the hearts.
4 Κακὸς ὑπακούει γλώσσης παρανόμων, δίκαιος δὲ οὐ προσέχει χείλεσι ψευδέσιν.
4 An evildoer heeds wicked lips. A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
5 Ὁ καταγελῶν πτωχοῦ παροξύνει τὸν ποιήσαντα αὐτὸν, ὁ δὲ ἐπιχαίρων ἀπολλυμένῳ οὐκ ἀθωωθήσεται, ὁ δὲ ἐπισπλαγχνιζόμενος ἐλεηθήσεται.
5 Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker. He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
6 Στέφανος γερόντων τέκνα τέκνων, καύχημα δὲ τέκνων πατέρες αὐτῶν·
6 Children’s children are the crown of old men; the glory of children is their parents.
6a τοῦ πιστοῦ ὅλος ὁ κόσμος τῶν χρημάτων, τοῦ δὲ ἀπίστου οὐδὲ ὀβολός.
·
7 Οὐχ ἁρμόσει ἄφρονι χείλη πιστὰ, οὐδὲ δικαίῳ χείλη ψευδῆ.
7 Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince.
8 Μισθὸς χαρίτων παιδεία τοῖς χρωμένοις, οὗ δʼ ἂν ἐπιστρέψῃ εὐοδωθήσεται.
8 A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it; wherever he turns, he prospers.
9 Ὃς κρύπτει ἀδικήματα, ζητεῖ φιλίαν· ὃς δὲ μισεῖ κρύπτειν, διΐστησι φίλους καὶ οἰκείους.
9 He who covers an offense promotes love; but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.
10 Συντρίβει ἀπειλὴ καρδίαν φρονίμου, ἄφρων δὲ μαστιγωθεὶς οὐκ αἰσθάνεται.
10 A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding than a hundred lashes into a fool.
11 Ἀντιλογίας ἐγείρει πᾶς κακὸς, ὁ δὲ Κύριος ἄγγελον ἀνελεήμονα ἐκπέμψει αὐτῷ.
11 An evil man seeks only rebellion; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12 Ἐμπεσεῖται μέριμνα ἀνδρὶ νοήμονι, οἱ δὲ ἄφρονες διαλογιοῦνται κακά.
12 Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
13 Ὃς ἀποδίδωσι κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν, οὐ κινηθήσεται κακὰ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ.
13 Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14 Ἐξουσίαν δίδωσι λόγοις ἀρχὴ δικαιοσύνης, προηγεῖται δὲ τῆς ἐνδείας στάσις καὶ μάχη.
14 The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam, therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out.
15 Ὃς δίκαιον κρίνει τὸν ἄδικον, ἄδικον δὲ τὸν δίκαιον, ἀκάθαρτος καὶ βδελυκτὸς παρὰ Θεῷ.
15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.
16 Ἱνατί ὑπῆρξε χρήματα ἄφρονι; κτήσασθαι γὰρ σοφίαν ἀκάρδιος οὐ δυνήσεται·
16 Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?
16a ὃς ὑψηλὸν ποιεῖ τὸν ἑαυτοῦ οἶκον, ζητεῖ συντριβήν· ὁ δὲ σκολιάζων τοῦ μαθεῖν, ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς κακά.
·
17 Εἰς πάντα καιρὸν φίλος ὑπαρχέτω σοι, ἀδελφοὶ δὲ ἐν ἀνάγκαις χρήσιμοι ἔστωσαν, τούτου γὰρ χάριν γεννῶνται.
17 A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.
18 Ἀνὴρ ἄφρων ἐπικροτεῖ καὶ ἐπιχαίρει ἑαυτῷ, ὡς καὶ ὁ ἐγγυώμενος ἐγγύῃ τῶν ἑαυτοῦ φίλων.
18 A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.
19 Φιλαμαρτήμων χαίρει μάχαις,
19 He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.
20 ὁ δὲ σκληροκάρδιος οὐ συναντᾷ ἀγαθοῖς· ἀνὴρ εὐμετάβολος γλώσσῃ ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς κακὰ,
20 One who has a perverse heart doesn’t find prosperity, and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.
21 καρδία δὲ ἄφρονος ὀδύνη τῷ κεκτημένῳ αὐτήν· οὐκ εὐφραίνεται πατὴρ ἐφʼ υἱῷ ἀπαιδεύτῳ, υἱὸς δὲ φρόνιμος εὐφραίνει μητέρα αὐτοῦ.
21 He who becomes the father of a fool grieves. The father of a fool has no joy.
22 Καρδία εὐφραινομένη εὐεκτεῖν ποιεῖ, ἀνδρὸς δὲ λυπηροῦ ξηραίνεται τὰ ὀστᾶ.
22 A cheerful heart makes good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
23 Λαμβάνοντος δῶρα ἀδίκως ἐν κόλποις οὐ κατευοδοῦνται ὁδοὶ, ἀσεβὴς δὲ ἐκκλίνει ὁδοὺς δικαιοσύνης.
23 A wicked man receives a bribe in secret, to pervert the ways of justice.
24 Πρόσωπον συνετὸν ἀνδρὸς σοφοῦ, οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ τοῦ ἄφρονος ἐπʼ ἄκρα γῆς.
24 Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.
25 Ὀργὴ πατρὶ υἱὸς ἄφρων, καὶ ὀδύνη τῇ τεκούσῃ αὐτόν.
25 A foolish son brings grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him.
26 Ζημιοῦν ἄνδρα δίκαιον οὐ καλὸν, οὐδὲ ὅσιον ἐπιβουλεύειν δυνάσταις δικαίοις.
26 Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to flog officials for their integrity.
27 Ὃς φείδεται ῥῆμα προέσθαι σκληρὸν, ἐπιγνώμων· μακρόθυμος δὲ ἀνὴρ φρόνιμος.
27 He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.
28 Ἀνοήτῳ ἐπερωτήσαντι σοφίαν σοφία λογισθήσεται, ἐνεὸν δέ τις ἑαυτὸν ποιήσας, δόξει φρόνιμος εἶναι.
28 Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.
