1 Дети, послушайте меня, отца, и поступайте так, чтобы вам спастись,
·
1 Hear me, your father, O my children, and do what you hear, that you all may be safe.
2 ибо Господь возвысил отца над детьми и утвердил суд матери над сыновьями.
·
2 For the Lord honors the father over the children, and has confirmed the judgment of the mother over her sons.
4 и уважающий мать свою - как приобретающий сокровища.
·
4 He who gives glory to his mother is as one who lays up treasure.
5 Почитающий отца будет иметь радость от детей своих и в день молитвы своей будет услышан.
·
5 Whoever honors his father will have joy in his own children. He will be heard in the day of his prayer.
6 Уважающий отца будет долгоденствовать, и послушный Господу успокоит мать свою.
·
6 He who gives glory to his father will have length of days. He who listens to the Lord will bring rest to his mother,
7 Боящийся Господа почтит отца и, как владыкам, послужит родившим его.
·
7 and will serve under his parents, as to masters.
8 Делом и словом почитай отца твоего и мать, чтобы пришло на тебя благословение от них,
·
8 Honor your father in deed and word, that a blessing may come upon you from him.
9 ибо благословение отца утверждает домы детей, а клятва матери разрушает до основания.
·
9 For the blessing of the father establishes the houses of children, but the curse of the mother roots out the foundations.
10 Не ищи славы в бесчестии отца твоего, ибо не слава тебе бесчестие отца.
·
10 Don’t glorify yourself in the dishonor of your father, for your father’s dishonor is no glory to you.
11 Слава человека - от чести отца его, и позор детям - мать в бесславии.
·
11 For the glory of a man is from the honor of his father, and a mother in dishonor is a reproach to her children.
12 Сын! прими отца твоего в старости его и не огорчай его в жизни его.
·
12 My son, help your father in his old age, and don’t grieve him as long as he lives.
13 Хотя бы он и оскудел разумом, имей снисхождение и не пренебрегай им при полноте силы твоей,
·
13 If he fails in understanding, have patience with him. Don’t dishonor him in your full strength.
14 ибо милосердие к отцу не будет забыто; несмотря на грехи твои, благосостояние твое умножится.
·
14 For the kindness to your father will not be forgotten. Instead of sins it will be added to build you up.
15 В день скорби твоей воспомянется о тебе: как лед от теплоты, разрешатся грехи твои.
·
15 In the day of your affliction it will be remembered for you, as fair weather upon ice, so your sins will also melt away.
16 Оставляющий отца - то же, что богохульник, и проклят от Господа раздражающий мать свою.
·
16 He who forsakes his father is as a blasphemer. He who provokes his mother is cursed by the Lord.
17 Сын мой! веди дела твои с кротостью, и будешь любим богоугодным человеком.
·
17 My son, go on with your business in humility; so you will be loved by an acceptable man.
18 Сколько ты велик, столько смиряйся, и найдешь благодать у Господа.
·
18 The greater you are, humble yourself the more, and you will find favor before the Lord.
20 ибо велико могущество Господа, и Он смиренными прославляется.
·
20 For the power of the Lord is great, and he is glorified by those who are lowly.
21 Чрез меру трудного для тебя не ищи, и, что свыше сил твоих, того не испытывай.
·
21 Don’t seek things that are too hard for you, and don’t search out things that are above your strength.
22 Что заповедано тебе, о том размышляй; ибо не нужно тебе, что сокрыто.
·
22 Think about the things that have been commanded you, for you have no need of the things that are secret.
23 При многих занятиях твоих, о лишнем не заботься: тебе открыто очень много из человеческого знания;
·
23 Don’t be overly busy in tasks that are beyond you, for more things are shown to you than men can understand.
24 ибо многих ввели в заблуждение их предположения, и лукавые мечты поколебали ум их.
·
24 For the conceit of many has led them astray. Evil opinion has caused their judgment to slip.
25 Кто любит опасность, тот впадет в нее;
·
25 There is no light without eyes. There is no wisdom without knowledge.
26 упорное сердце напоследок потерпит зло:
·
26 A stubborn heart will do badly at the end. He who loves danger will perish in it.
27 упорное сердце будет обременено скорбями, и грешник приложит грехи ко грехам.
·
27 A stubborn heart will be burdened with troubles. The sinner will heap sin upon sins.
28 Испытания не служат врачевством для гордого, потому что злое растение укоренилось в нем.
·
28 The calamity of the proud has no healing, for a weed of wickedness has taken root in him.
29 Сердце разумного обдумает притчу, и внимательное ухо есть желание мудрого.
·
29 The heart of the prudent will understand a proverb. A wise man desires the ear of a listener.
30 Вода угасит пламень огня, и милостыня очистит грехи.
·
30 Water will quench a flaming fire; almsgiving will make atonement for sins.
31 Кто воздает за благодеяния, тот помышляет о будущем и во время падения найдет опору.
·
31 He who repays good turns is mindful of that which comes afterward. In the time of his falling he will find a support.
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).
For Thou hast commanded, saying, Go on with thy business in meekness, and thou shalt be beloved by all men; and good cattle, which neither if they eat, shall they over-abound, nor if they do not eat, have they any want; and good serpents, not destructive to do hurt, but "wise" to take heed; and exploring only so much of …

… abundance of graces is to be feared, that no man may pride himself in the gift of God, but may rather preserve humility, and may do what is written: "The greater thou art, the more humble thyself, and thou shalt find favour before the Lord:" how deeply pride in God's gift should be feared, we must again and again impress …
