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 Ἐργάτης μέθυσος οὐ πλουτισθήσεται, ὁ ἐξουθενῶν τὰ ὀλίγα κατὰ μικρὸν πεσεῖται.
1 A worker who is a drunkard will not become rich. He who despises small things will fall little by little.
2 Οἶνος καὶ γυναῖκες ἀποστήσουσι συνετοὺς, καὶ ὁ κολλώμενος πόρναις τολμηρότερος ἔσται.
2 Wine and women will make men of understanding go astray. He who joins with prostitutes is reckless.
3 Σήτες καὶ σκώληκες κληρονομήσουσιν αὐτόν, καὶ ψυχὴ τολμηρὰ ἐξαρθήσεται.
3 Decay and worms will have him as their heritage. A reckless soul will be taken away.
4 Ὁ ταχὺ ἐμπιστεύων, κοῦφος καρδίᾳ, καὶ ὁ ἁμαρτάνων εἰς ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ πλημμελήσει.
4 He who is hasty to trust is shallow-hearted. He who sins offends against his own soul.
5 Ὁ εὐφραινόμενος καρδίᾳ καταγνωσθήσεται,
5 He who rejoices in wickedness will be condemned.
6 καὶ ὁ μισῶν λαλιὰν ἐλαττονοῦται κακίᾳ.
6 He who hates gossip has less wickedness.
7 Μηδέποτε δευτερώσῃς λόγον, καὶ οὐθέν σοι οὐ μὴ ἐλαττονωθῇ.
7 Never repeat what is told you, and you won’t lose anything.
8 Ἐν φίλῳ καὶ ἐν ἐχθρῷ μὴ διηγοῦ, καὶ εἰ μή ἐστί σοι ἁμαρτία, μὴ ἀποκάλυπτε.
8 Whether it is of friend or foe, don’t tell it. Unless it is a sin to you, don’t reveal it.
9 Ἀκήκοε γάρ σου καὶ ἐφυλάξατό σε, καὶ ἐν καιρῷ μισήσει σε.
9 For if he has heard you and observed you, when the time comes, he will hate you.
10 Ἀκήκοας λόγον; συναποθανέτω σοι, θάρσει, οὐ μή σε ῥήξει.
10 Have you heard something? Let it die with you. Be brave: it will not make you burst!
11 Ἀπὸ προσώπου λόγου ὠδινήσει μωρὸς, ὡς ἀπὸ προσώπου βρέφους ἡ τίκτουσα.
11 A fool will travail in pain with a word, as a woman in labor with a child.
12 Βέλος πεπηγὸς ἐν μηρῷ σαρκὸς, οὕτως λόγος ἐν κοιλίᾳ μωροῦ.
12 As an arrow that sticks in the flesh of the thigh, so is gossip in a fool.
13 Ἔλεγξον φίλον, μήποτε οὐκ ἐποίησε, καὶ εἴ τι ἐποίησε, μήποτε προσθῇ.
13 Question a friend; it may be he didn’t do it. If he did something, it may be that he may do it no more.
14 Ἔλεγξον τὸν φίλον, μήποτε οὐκ εἶπε, καὶ εἰ εἴρηκεν, ἵνα μὴ δευτερώσῃ.
14 Question your neighbor; it may be he didn’t say it. If he has said it, it may be that he may not say it again.
15 Ἔλεγξον φίλον, πολλάκις γὰρ γίνεται διαβολὴ, καὶ μὴ παντὶ λόγῳ πίστευε.
15 Question a friend; for many times there is slander. Don’t trust every word.
16 Ἔστιν ὀλισθαίνων καὶ οὐκ ἀπὸ ψυχῆς· καὶ τίς οὐχ ἡμάρτησεν ἐν τῇ γλώσσῃ αὐτοῦ;
16 There is one who slips, and not from the heart. Who is he who hasn’t sinned with his tongue?
17 Ἔλεγξον τὸν πλησίον σου πρινη ἀπειλῆσαι, καὶ δὸς τόπον νόμῳ ὑψίστου.
17 Reprove your neighbor before you threaten him; and give place to the law of the Most High. 18 No está en esta traducción
20 Πᾶσα σοφία φόβος Κυρίου, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ ποίησις νόμου.
20 All wisdom is the fear of the Lord. In all wisdom is the doing of the law. 21 No está en esta traducción
22 Καὶ οὐκ ἔστι σοφία πονηρίας ἐπιστήμη, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν, ὅπου βουλὴ ἁμαρτωλῶν, φρόνησις.
22 The knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom. The prudence of sinners is not counsel.
23 Ἔστι πονηρία καὶ αὕτη βδέλυγμα, καὶ ἔστιν ἄφρων ἐλαττούμενος σοφίᾳ.
23 There is a wickedness, and it is an abomination. There is a fool lacking in wisdom.
24 Κρείττων ἡττώμενος ἐν συνέσει ἔμφοβος, ἢ περισσεύων ἐν φρονήσει καὶ παραβαίνων νόμον.
24 Better is one who has little understanding, and fears God, than one who has much intelligence and transgresses the law.
25 Ἔστι πανουργία ἀκριβὴς καὶ αὕτη ἄδικος, καὶ ἔστι διαστρέφων χάριν τοῦ ἐκφᾶναι κρίμα.
25 There is an exquisite subtlety, and it is unjust. And there is one who perverts favor to gain a judgment.
26 Ἔστι πονηρευόμενος συγκεκυφὼς μελανίᾳ, καὶ τὰ ἐντὸς αὐτοῦ πλήρης δόλου.
26 There is one who does wickedly, who hangs down his head with mourning; but inwardly he is full of deceit,
27 Συγκύφων πρόσωπον καὶ ἑτεροκωφῶν, ὅπου οὐκ ἐπεγνώσθη, προφθάσει σε.
27 bowing down his face, and pretending to be deaf in one ear. Where he isn’t known, he will take advantage of you.
28 Καὶ ἐὰν ὑπὸ ἐλαττώματος ἰσχύος κωλυθῇ ἁμαρτεῖν, ἐὰν εὕρῃ καιρὸν, κακοποιήσει.
28 And if for lack of power he is hindered from sinning, if he finds opportunity, he will do mischief.
29 Ἀπὸ ὁράσεως ἐπιγνωσθήσεται ἀνὴρ, καὶ ἀπὸ ἀπαντήσεως προσώπου ἐπιγνωσθήσεται νοήμων.
29 A man will be known by his appearance. One who has understanding will be known by his face when you meet him.
30 Στολισμὸς ἀνδρὸς καὶ γέλως ὀδόντων καὶ βήματα ἀνθρώπου ἀναγγέλλει τὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ.
30 A man’s attire, grinning laughter, and the way he walks show what he is.

And so unto that little, adding daily littles (for "he that contemneth small things shall fall by little and little"), she contracted such a habit as, to drink off eagerly her little cup nearly full of wine.
