Notas sobre este texto (1)
- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 Ὁ φοβούμενος Κύριον ποιήσει αὐτὸ, καὶ ὁ ἐγκρατὴς τοῦ νόμου καταλήψεται αὐτήν·
1 He who fears the Lord will do this. He who has possession of the law will obtain her.
2 καὶ ὑπαντήσεται αὐτῷ ὡς μήτηρ, καὶ ὡς γυνὴ παρθενίας προσδέξεται αὐτόν·
2 She will meet him like a mother, and receive him like a wife married in her virginity.
3 ψωμιεῖ αὐτὸν ἄρτον συνέσεως, καὶ ὕδωρ σοφίας ποτίσει αὐτόν.
3 She will feed him with bread of understanding and give him water of wisdom to drink.
4 Στηριχθήσεται ἐπʼ αὐτὴν καὶ οὐ μὴ κλιθῇ, καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῆς ἐφέξει καὶ οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ.
4 He will be stayed upon her, and will not be moved. He will rely upon her, and will not be confounded.
5 Καὶ ὑψώσει αὐτὸν παρὰ τοὺς πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν μέσῳ ἐκκλησίας ἀνοίξει στόμα αὐτοῦ.
5 She will exalt him above his neighbors. She will open his mouth in the midst of the congregation.
6 Εὐφροσύνην καὶ στέφανον ἀγαλλιάματος καὶ ὄνομα αἰώνιον κατακληρονομήσει.
6 He will inherit joy, a crown of gladness, and an everlasting name.
7 Οὐ μὴ καταλήψονται αὐτὴν ἄνθρωποι ἀσύνετοι, καὶ ἄνδρες ἁμαρτωλοὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδωσιν αὐτήν.
7 Foolish men will not obtain her. Sinners will not see her.
8 Μακράν ἐστιν ὑπερηφανίας, καὶ ἄνδρες ψεῦσται οὐ μὴ μνησθήσονται αὐτῆς.
8 She is far from pride. Liars will not remember her.
9 Οὐχ ὡραῖος αἶνος ἐν στόματι ἁμαρτωλοῦ, ὅτι οὐ παρὰ Κυρίου ἀπεστάλη.
9 Praise is not attractive in the mouth of a sinner; for it was not sent to him from the Lord.
10 Ἐν γὰρ σοφίᾳ ῥηθήσεται αἶνος, καὶ ὁ Κύριος εὐοδώσει αὐτόν.
10 For praise will be spoken in wisdom; The Lord will prosper it.
11 Μὴ εἴπῃς, ὅτι διὰ Κύριον ἀπέστην· ἃ γὰρ ἐμίσησεν, οὐ ποιήσεις.
11 Don’t say, “It is through the Lord that I fell away;” for you shall not do the things that he hates.
12 Μὴ εἴπῃς, ὅτι αὐτός με ἐπλάνησεν· οὐ γὰρ χρείαν ἔχει ἀνδρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ.
12 Don’t say, “It is he that caused me to err;” for he has no need of a sinful man.
13 Πᾶν βδέλυγμα ἐμίσησε Κύριος, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀγαπητὸν τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτόν.
13 The Lord hates every abomination; and those who fear him don’t love them.
14 Αὐτὸς ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἐποίησεν ἄνθρωπον, καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὸν ἐν χειρὶ διαβουλίου αὐτοῦ.
14 He himself made man from the beginning and left him in the hand of his own counsel.
15 Ἐὰν θέλῃς, συντηρήσεις ἐντολὰς, καὶ πίστιν ποιῆσαι εὐδοκίας.
15 If you choose, you can keep the commandments. To be faithful is a matter of your choice.
16 Παρέθηκέ σοι πῦρ καὶ ὕδωρ, οὗ ἐὰν θέλῃς ἐκτενεῖς τὴν χεῖρά σου.
16 He has set fire and water before you. You will stretch forth your hand to whichever you desire.
17 Ἔναντι ἀνθρώπων ἡ ζωὴ καὶ ὁ θάνατος, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν εὐδοκήσῃ δοθήσεται αὐτῷ.
17 Before man is life and death. Whichever he likes, it will be given to him.
18 Ὅτι πολλὴ σοφία τοῦ Κυρίου, ἰσχυρὸς ἐν δυναστείᾳ καὶ βλέπων τὰ πάντα.
18 For the wisdom of the Lord is great. He is mighty in power, and sees all things.
19 Καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτὸν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπιγνώσεται πᾶν ἔργον ἀνθρώπου.
19 His eyes are upon those who fear him. He knows every act of man.
20 Καὶ οὐκ ἐνετείλατο οὐδενὶ ἀσεβεῖν, καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκεν ἄνεσιν οὐδενὶ ἁμαρτάνειν.
20 He has not commanded any man to be ungodly. He has not given any man license to sin.

For the covenant from the beginning is, Thou shall die the death." Now, as the law was more plainly given afterward, and the apostle says, "Where no law is, there is no prevarication," on what supposition is what is said in the psalm true, "I accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators," except that all who are held liable …

In another place it is said, "Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner." If then in the mouth of a sinner praise is not seemly, neither is it pleasant, for that only is pleasant which is seemly....For praise may be pleasant to a man, when he heareth one praising with neat and clever sentiments, and with a …
