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 Ὦ θάνατε, ὡς πικρόν σου τὸ μνημόσυνόν ἐστιν ἀνθρώπῳ εἰρηνεύοντι ἐν τοῖς ὑπάρχουσιν αὐτοῦ, ἀνδρὶ ἀπερισπάστῳ, καὶ εὐοδουμένῳ ἐν πᾶσι, καὶ ἔτι ἰσχύοντι ἐπιδέξασθαι τροφήν;
1 O death, how bitter is the memory of you to a man who is at peace in his possessions, to the man who has nothing to distract him and has prosperity in all things, and who still has strength to enjoy food!
2 Ὦ θάνατε, καλόν σου τὸ κρίμα ἐστὶν ἀνθρώπῳ ἐπιδεομένῳ καὶ ἐλασσουμένῳ ἰσχύϊ, ἐσχατογήρῳ, καὶ περισπωμένῳ περὶ πάντων, καὶ ἀπειθοῦντι, καὶ ἀπολωλεκότι ὑπομονήν.
2 O death, your sentence is acceptable to a man who is needy and who fails in strength, who is in extreme old age, is distracted about all things, is perverse, and has lost patience!
3 Μὴ εὐλαβοῦ κρίμα θανάτου· μνήσθητι προτέρων σου καὶ ἐσχάτων, τοῦτο τὸ κρίμα παρὰ Κυρίου πάσῃ σαρκί.
3 Don’t be afraid of the sentence of death. Remember those who have been before you and who come after. This is the sentence from the Lord over all flesh.
4 Καὶ τί ἀπαναίνῃ ἐν εὐδοκίᾳ ὑψίστου; εἴτε δέκα, εἴτε ἑκατὸν, εἴτε χίλια ἔτη· οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ᾅδου ἐλεγμὸς ζωῆς.
4 And why do you refuse when it is the good pleasure of the Most High? Whether life lasts ten, or a hundred, or a thousand years, there is no inquiry about life in Hades.
5 Τέκνα βδελυκτὰ γίνεται τέκνα ἁμαρτωλῶν, καὶ συναναστρεφόμενα παροικίαις ἀσεβῶν.
5 The children of sinners are abominable children and they frequent the dwellings of the ungodly.
6 Τέκνων ἁμαρτωλῶν ἀπολεῖται κληρονομία, καὶ μετὰ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτῶν ἐνδελεχιεῖ ὄνειδος.
6 The inheritance of sinners’ children will perish and with their posterity will be a perpetual disgrace.
7 Πατρὶ ἀσεβεῖ μέμψεται τέκνα, ὅτι διʼ αὐτὸν ὀνειδισθήσονται.
7 Children will complain of an ungodly father, because they suffer disgrace because of him.
8 Οὐαὶ ὑμῖν ἄνδρες ἀσεβεῖς, οἵτινες ἐγκατελίπετε νόμον Θεοῦ ὑψίστου.
8 Woe to you, ungodly men, who have forsaken the law of the Most High God!
9 Καὶ ἐὰν γεννηθῆτε, εἰς κατάραν γεννηθήσεσθε· καὶ ἐὰν ἀποθάνητε, εἰς κατάραν μερισθήσεσθε.
9 If you are born, you will be born to a curse. If you die, a curse will be your portion.
10 Πάντα ὅσα ἐκ γῆς, εἰς γῆν ἀπελεύσεται· οὕτως ἀσεβεῖς ἀπὸ κατάρας εἰς ἀπώλείαν.
10 All things that are of the earth will go back to the earth; so the ungodly will go from a curse to perdition.
11 Πένθος ἀνθρώπων ἐν σώμασιν αὐτῶν, ὄνομα δὲ ἁμαρτωλῶν οὐκ ἀγαθὸν, ἐξαλειφθήσεται.
11 The mourning of men is about their bodies; but the evil name of sinners will be blotted out.
12 Φρόντισον περὶ ὀνόματος, αὐτὸ γάρ σοι διαμενεῖ, ἢ χίλιοι μεγάλοι θησαυροὶ χρυσίου.
12 Have regard for your name, for it continues with you longer than a thousand great treasures of gold.
13 Ἀγαθῆς ζωῆς ἀριθμὸς ἡμερῶν, καὶ ἀγαθὸν ὄνομα εἰς αἰῶνα διαμένει.
13 A good life has its number of days, but a good name continues forever.
14 Παιδείαν ἐν εἰρήνῃ συντηρήσατε τέκνα, σοφία δὲ κεκρυμμένη καὶ θησαυρὸς ἀφανὴς, τίς ὠφέλεια ἐν ἀμφοτέροις;
14 My children, follow instruction in peace. But wisdom that is hidden and a treasure that is not seen, what benefit is in them both?
15 Κρείσσων ἄνθρωπος ἀποκρύπτων τὴν μωρίαν αὐτοῦ, ἢ ἄνθρωπος ἀποκρύπτων τὴν σοφίαν αὐτοῦ.
15 Better is a man who hides his foolishness than a man who hides his wisdom.
16 Τοιγαροῦν ἐντράπητε ἐπὶ τῷ ῥήματί μου· οὐ γάρ ἐστι πᾶσαν αἰσχύνην διαφυλάξαι καλὸν, καὶ οὐ πάντα πᾶσιν ἐν πίστει εὐδοκιμεῖται.
16 Therefore show respect for my words; for it is not good to retain every kind of shame. Not everything is approved by all in good faith.
17 Αἰσχύνεσθε ἀπὸ πατρὸς καὶ μητρὸς περὶ πορνείας, καὶ ἀπὸ ἡγουμένου καὶ δυνάστου περὶ ψεύδους·
17 Be ashamed of sexual immorality before father and mother, of a lie before a prince and a mighty man,
18 ἀπὸ κριτοῦ καὶ ἄρχοντος περὶ πλημμελείας, ἀπὸ συναγωγῆς καὶ λαοῦ περὶ ἀνομίας· ἀπὸ κοινωνοῦ καὶ φίλου περὶ ἀδικίας, καὶ ἀπὸ τόπου οὗ παροικεῖς περὶ κλοπῆς·
18 of an offense before a judge and ruler, of iniquity before the congregation and the people, of unjust dealing before a partner and friend,
19 καὶ ἀπὸ ἀληθείας Θεοῦ καὶ διαθήκης, καὶ ἀπὸ πήξεως ἀγκῶνος ἐπʼ ἄρτοις· ἀπὸ σκορακισμοῦ λήψεως καὶ δόσεως,
19 and of theft in the place where you sojourn. Be ashamed in regard of the truth of God and his covenant, of leaning on your elbow at dinner, of contemptuous behavior in the matter of giving and taking,
20 καὶ ἀπὸ ἀσπαζομένων περὶ σιωπῆς· ἀπὸ ὁράσεως γυναικὸς ἑταίρας,
20 of silence before those who greet you, of looking at a woman who is a prostitute,
21 καὶ ἀπὸ ἀποστροφῆς προσώπου συγγενοῦς· ἀπὸ ἀφαιρέσεως μερίδος καὶ δόσεως, καὶ ἀπὸ κατανοήσεως γυναικὸς ὑπάνδρου,
21 of turning away your face from a kinsman, of taking away a portion or a gift, of gazing at a woman who has a husband,
22 ἀπὸ περιεργείας παιδίσκης αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ ἐπιστῇς ἐπὶ τὴν κοίτην αὐτῆς, ἀπὸ φίλων περὶ λόγων ὀνειδισμοῦ, καὶ μετὰ τὸ δοῦναι, μὴ ὀνείδιζε.
22 of meddling with his maid—and don’t come near her bed, of abusive speech to friends—and after you have given, don’t insult,
23 Ἀπὸ δευτερώσεως καὶ λόγου ἀκοῆς, καὶ ἀπὸ ἀποκαλύψεων λόγων κρυφίων·
23 of repeating and speaking what you have heard, and of revealing of secrets.
24 καὶ ἔσῃ αἰσχυντηρὸς ἀληθινῶς, καὶ εὑρίσκων χάριν ἔναντι παντὸς ἀνθρώπου·
24 So you will be ashamed of the right things and find favor in the sight of every man.
