Notes on this text (1)
- Includes the books not found in the Hebrew Bible (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, 1–3 Maccabees, 2 and 3 Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh), as in the Synodal editions.
1 Не хвались завтрашним днем, потому что не знаешь, что родит тот день.
1 Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.
2 Пусть хвалит тебя другой, а не уста твои, - чужой, а не язык твой.
2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
3 Тяжел камень, весок и песок; но гнев глупца тяжелее их обоих.
3 A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
4 Жесток гнев, неукротима ярость; но кто устоит против ревности?
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
5 Лучше открытое обличение, нежели скрытая любовь.
5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
6 Искренни укоризны от любящего, и лживы поцелуи ненавидящего.
6 The wounds of a friend are faithful, although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
7 Сытая душа попирает и сот, а голодной душе все горькое сладко.
7 A full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
8 Как птица, покинувшая гнездо свое, так человек, покинувший место свое.
8 As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.
9 Масть и курение радуют сердце; так сладок всякому друг сердечным советом своим.
9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
10 Не покидай друга твоего и друга отца твоего, и в дом брата твоего не ходи в день несчастья твоего: лучше сосед вблизи, нежели брат вдали.
10 Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend. Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster. A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.
11 Будь мудр, сын мой, и радуй сердце мое; и я буду иметь, что отвечать злословящему меня.
11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.
12 Благоразумный видит беду и укрывается; а неопытные идут вперед и наказываются.
12 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
13 Возьми у него платье его, потому что он поручился за чужого, и за стороннего возьми от него залог.
13 Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman!
14 Кто громко хвалит друга своего с раннего утра, того сочтут за злословящего.
14 He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse by him.
15 Непрестанная капель в дождливый день и сварливая жена - равны:
15 A continual dropping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike:
16 кто хочет скрыть ее, тот хочет скрыть ветер и масть в правой руке своей, дающую знать о себе.
16 restraining her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his right hand.
17 Железо железо острит, и человек изощряет взгляд друга своего.
17 Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.
18 Кто стережет смоковницу, тот будет есть плоды ее; и кто бережет господина своего, тот будет в чести.
18 Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit. He who looks after his master shall be honored.
19 Как в воде лицо - к лицу, так сердце человека - к человеку.
19 Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.
20 Преисподняя и Аваддон - ненасытимы; так ненасытимы и глаза человеческие. [Мерзость пред Господом дерзко поднимающий глаза, и неразумны невоздержанные языком.]
20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.
21 Что плавильня - для серебра, горнило - для золота, то для человека уста, которые хвалят его. [Сердце беззаконника ищет зла, сердце же правое ищет знания.]
21 The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.
22 Толки глупого в ступе пестом вместе с зерном, не отделится от него глупость его.
22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.
23 Хорошо наблюдай за скотом твоим, имей попечение о стадах;
23 Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds,
24 потому что богатство не навек, да и власть разве из рода в род?
24 for riches are not forever, nor does the crown endure to all generations.
25 Прозябает трава, и является зелень, и собирают горные травы.
25 The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, the grasses of the hills are gathered in.
26 Овцы - на одежду тебе, и козлы - на покупку поля.
26 The lambs are for your clothing, and the goats are the price of a field.
27 И довольно козьего молока в пищу тебе, в пищу домашним твоим и на продовольствие служанкам твоим.
27 There will be plenty of goats’ milk for your food, for your family’s food, and for the nourishment of your servant girls.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Have pity, O Lord God, lest they who pass by trample on the unfledged bird; and send Thine angel, who may restore it to its nest that it may live until it can fly.

Hence it is written, "Let not thy own mouth praise thee, but let thy neighbor's" mouth praise thee. But this was said to man.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 7 (1888)
There is a precept laid on man: "Let not thine own mouth praise thee, but the mouth of thy neighbor." For self-pleasing is a perilous thing for one who has to be on his guard against falling into pride.
