Eclesiástico (Sirácida) 32 Septuaginta griega de Brenton
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 συντήρων νόμον πλεονάζει προσφοράς· θυσιάζων σωτηρίου ὁ προσέχων ἐντολαῖς.
1 Have they made you ruler of a feast? Don’t be lifted up. Be among them as one of them. Take care of them first, and then sit down.
2 Ἀνταποδιδοὺς χάριν προσφέρων σεμίδαλιν, καὶ ὁ ποιῶν ἐλεημοσύνην θυσιάζων αἰνέσεως.
2 And when you have done all your duties, take your place, that you may be gladdened on their account, and receive a wreath for your good service.
3 Εὐδοκία Κυρίου ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ πονηρίας, καὶ ἐξιλασμὸς ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ ἀδικίας.
3 Speak, you who are older, for it’s your right, but with sound knowledge; and don’t interrupt the music.
4 Μὴ ὀφθῇς ἐν προσώπῳ Κυρίου κενὸς,
4 Don’t pour out talk where there is a performance of music. Don’t display your wisdom at the wrong time.
5 πάντα γὰρ ταῦτα χάριν ἐντολῆς.
5 As a ruby signet in a setting of gold, so is a music concert at a wine banquet.
6 Προσφορὰ δικαίου λιπαίνει θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἡ εὐωδία αὐτῆς ἔναντι ὑψίστου.
6 As an emerald signet in a work of gold, so is musical melody with pleasant wine.
7 Θυσία ἀνδρὸς δικαίου δεκτὴ, καὶ τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται.
7 Speak, young man, if you are obliged to, but no more than twice, and only if asked.
8 Ἐν ἀγαθῷ ὀφθαλμῷ δόξασον τὸν Κύριον, καὶ μὴ σμικρύνῃς ἀπαρχὴν χειρῶν σου.
8 Sum up your speech, many things in few words. Be as one who knows and yet holds his tongue.
9 Ἐν πάσῃ δόσει ἱλάρωσον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ ἁγίασον δεκάτην.
9 When among great men, don’t behave as their equal. When another is speaking, don’t babble.
10 Δὸς ὑψίστῳ κατὰ τὴν δόσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν ἀγαθῷ ὀφθαλμῷ καθεύρεμα χειρός.
10 Lightning speeds before thunder. Approval goes before one who is modest.
11 Ὅτι Κύριος ἀνταποδιδούς ἐστι, καὶ ἑπταπλάσια ἀνταποδώσει σοι.
11 Rise up in good time, and don’t be last. Go home quickly and don’t loiter
12 Μὴ δωροκόπει, οὐ γὰρ προσδέξεται· καὶ μὴ ἔπεχε θυσίᾳ ἀδίκῳ, ὅτι Κύριος κριτής ἐστι, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι παρʼ αὐτῷ δόξα προσώπου.
12 Amuse yourself there and do what is in your heart. Don’t sin by proud speech.
13 Οὐ λήψεται πρόσωπον ἐπὶ πτωχοῦ, καὶ δέησιν ἠδικημένου εἰσακούσεται.
13 For these things bless your Maker, who gives you to drink freely of his good things.
14 Οὐ μὴ ὑπερίδῃ ἱκετείαν ὀρφανοῦ, καὶ χήραν ἐὰν ἐκχέῃ λαλιάν.
14 He who fears the Lord will receive discipline. Those who seek him early will find favor.
15 Οὐχὶ δάκρυα χήρας ἐπὶ σιαγόνα καταβαίνει, καὶ ἡ καταβόησις ἐπὶ τῷ καταγαγόντι αὐτά;
15 He who seeks the law shall be filled with it, but the hypocrite will stumble at it.
16 Θεραπεύων ἐν εὐδοκίᾳ δεχθήσεται, καὶ ἡ δέησις αὐτοῦ ἕως νεφελῶν συνάψει.
16 Those who fear the Lord will find true judgment, and will kindle righteous acts like a light.
17 Προσευχὴ ταπεινοῦ νεφέλας διῆλθε, καὶ ἕως συνεγγίσῃ οὐ μὴ παρακληθῇ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστῇ ἕως ἐπισκέψηται ὁ ὕψιστος· καὶ κρινεῖ δικαίως, καὶ ποιήσει κρίσιν.
17 A sinful man shuns reproof, and will find a judgment according to his will.
18 Καὶ ὁ Κύριος οὐ μὴ βραδύνῃ, οὐδὲ μὴ μακροθυμήσει ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς ἕως ἄν συντρίψῃ ὀσφὺν ἀνελεημόνων· καὶ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἀνταποδώσει ἐκδίκησιν, ἕως ἐξάρῃ πλῆθος ὑβριστῶν, καὶ σκῆπτρα ἀδίκων συντρίψῃ,
18 A sensible person won’t neglect a thought. An insolent and proud man won’t crouch in fear, even after he has done a thing by himself without counsel.
19 ἕως ἀνταποδῷ ἀνθρώπῳ κατὰ τὰς πράξεις αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ ἔργα τῶν ἀνθρώπων κατὰ τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτῶν, ἕως κρινῇ τὴν κρίσιν τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐφρανεῖ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ἐλέει αὐτοῦ.
19 Do nothing without counsel, but when you have acted, don’t regret it.
20 Ὡραῖον ἔλεος ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως αὐτοῦ, ὡς νεφέλαι ὑετοῦ ἐν καιρῷ ἀβροχίας.
20 Don’t go in a way of conflict. Don’t stumble in stony places. 21 Don’t be overconfident on a smooth road. 22 Beware of your own children. 23 In every work guard your own soul, for this is the keeping of the commandments. 24 He who believes the law gives heed to the commandment. He who trusts in the Lord will suffer no loss.
