JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Ο ἀγαπῶν παιδείαν, ἀγαπᾷ αἴσθησιν, ὁ δὲ μισῶν ἐλέγχους ἄφρων.
1Whoso loveth knowledge loveth correction; but he that is brutish hateth reproof.
2κρείσων ὁ εὑρὼν χάριν παρὰ Κυρίῳ, ἀνὴρ δὲ παράνομος παρασιωπηθήσεται.
2A good man shall obtain favour of the LORD; but a man of wicked devices will He condemn.
3οὐ κατορθώσει ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἀνόμου, αἱ δὲ ρίζαι τῶν δικαίων οὐκ ἐξαρθήσονται.
3A man shall not be established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall never be moved.
4γυνὴ ἀνδρεία στέφανος τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς· ὥσπερ δὲ ἐν ξύλῳ σκώληξ, οὕτως ἄνδρα ἀπόλλυσι γυνὴ κακοποιός.
4A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that doeth shamefully is as rottenness in his bones.
5λογισμοὶ δικαίων κρίματα, κυβερνῶσι δὲ ἀσεβεῖς δόλους.
5The thoughts of the righteous are right; but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
6λόγοι ἀσεβῶν δόλιοι, στόμα δὲ ὀρθῶν ρύσεται αὐτούς.
6The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7οὗ ἐὰν στραφῇ ὁ ἀσεβής, ἀφανίζεται, οἶκοι δὲ δικαίων παραμένουσι.
7The wicked are overthrown, and are not; but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8στόμα συνετοῦ ἐγκωμιάζεται ὑπὸ ἀνδρός, νωθροκάρδιος δὲ μυκτηρίζεται.
8A man shall be commended according to his intelligence; but he that is of a distorted understanding shall be despised.
9κρείσσων ἀνὴρ ἐν ἀτιμίᾳ δουλεύων ἑαυτῷ ἢ τιμὴν ἑαυτῷ περιτιθεὶς καὶ προσδεόμενος ἄρτου.
9Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that playeth the man of rank, and lacketh bread.
10δίκαιος οἰκτείρει ψυχὰς κτηνῶν αὐτοῦ, τὰ δὲ σπλάγχνα τῶν ἀσεβῶν ἀνελεήμονα.
10A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11ὁ ἐργαζόμενος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γῆν ἐμπλησθήσεται ἄρτων, οἱ δὲ διώκοντες μάταια ἐνδεεῖς φρενῶν. 11α ὅς ἐστιν ἡδὺς ἐν οἴνων διατριβαῖς, ἐν τοῖς ἑαυτοῦ ὀχυρώμασι καταλείψει ἀτιμίαν.
11He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; but he that followeth after vain things is void of understanding.
12ἐπιθυμίαι ἀσεβῶν κακαί, αἱ δὲ ρίζαι τῶν εὐσεβῶν ἐν ὀχυρώμασι.
12The wicked desireth the prey of evil men; but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
13δι᾿ ἁμαρτίαν χειλέων ἐμπίπτει εἰς παγίδας ἁμαρτωλός, ἐκφεύγει δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν δίκαιος. 13α ὁ βλέπων λεῖα ἐλεηθήσεται, ὁ δὲ συναντῶν ἐν πύλαις ἐκθλίψει ψυχάς.
13In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; but the righteous cometh out of trouble.
14ἀπὸ καρπῶν στόματος ψυχὴ ἀνδρὸς πλησθήσεται ἀγαθῶν, ἀνταπόδομα δὲ χειλέων αὐτοῦ δοθήσεται αὐτῷ.
14A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
15ὁδοὶ ἀφρόνων ὀρθαὶ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, εἰσακούει δὲ συμβουλίας σοφός.
15The way of a fool is straight in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
16ἄφρων αὐθημερὸν ἐξαγγέλλει ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ, κρύπτει δὲ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀτιμίαν ἀνὴρ πανοῦργος.
16A fool's vexation is presently known; but a prudent man concealeth shame.
17ἐπιδεικνυμένην πίστιν ἀπαγγέλλει δίκαιος, ὁ δὲ μάρτυς τῶν ἀδίκων δόλιος.
17He that breatheth forth truth uttereth righteousness; but a false witness deceit.
18εἰσὶν οἳ λέγοντες τιτρώσκουσι μαχαίρᾳ, γλῶσσαι δὲ σοφῶν ἰῶνται.
18There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.
19χείλη ἀληθινὰ κατορθοῖ μαρτυρίαν, μάρτυς δὲ ταχὺς γλῶσσαν ἔχει ἄδικον.
19The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20δόλος ἐν καρδίᾳ τεκταινομένου κακά, οἱ δὲ βουλόμενοι εἰρήνην εὐφρανθήσονται.
20Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
21οὐκ ἀρέσει τῷ δικαίῳ οὐδὲν ἄδικον, οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς πλησθήσονται κακῶν.
21There shall no mischief befall the righteous; but the wicked are filled with evil.
22βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ χείλη ψευδῆ, ὁ δὲ ποιῶν πίστεις δεκτὸς παρ᾿ αὐτῷ.
22Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD; but they that deal truly are His delight.
23ἀνὴρ συνετὸς θρόνος αἰσθήσεως, καρδία δὲ ἀφρόνων συναντήσεται ἀραῖς.
23A prudent man concealeth knowledge; but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24χεὶρ ἐκλεκτῶν κρατήσει εὐχερῶς, δόλιοι δὲ ἔσονται ἐν προνομῇ.
24The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful shall be under tribute.
25φοβερὸς λόγος καρδίαν ταράσσει ἀνδρὸς δικαίου, ἀγγελία δὲ ἀγαθὴ εὐφραίνει αὐτόν.
25Care in the heart of a man boweth it down; but a good word maketh it glad.
26ἐπιγνώμων δίκαιος ἑαυτοῦ φίλος ἔσται, αἱ δὲ γνῶμαι τῶν ἀσεβῶν ἀνεπιεικεῖς. ἁμαρτάνοντας καταδιώξεται κακὰ ἡ δὲ ὁδὸς τῶν ἀσεβῶν πλανήσει αὐτούς.
26The righteous is guided by his friend; but the way of the wicked leadeth them astray.
27οὐκ ἐπιτεύξεται δόλιος θήρας, κτῆμα δὲ τίμιον ἀνὴρ καθαρός.
27The slothful man shall not hunt his prey; but the precious substance of men is to be diligent.
28ἐν ὁδοῖς δικαιοσύνης ζωή, ὁδοὶ δὲ μνησικάκων εἰς θάνατον.
28In the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
