King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΣΟΦΑΙ γυναῖκες ᾠκοδόμησαν οἴκους, ἡ δὲ ἄφρων κατέσκαψε ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῆς.
1Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
2ὁ πορευόμενος ὀρθῶς φοβεῖται τὸν Κύριον, ὁ δὲ σκολιάζων ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ ἀτιμασθήσεται.
2He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD : but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.
3ἐκ στόματος ἀφρόνων βακτηρία ὕβρεως, χείλη δὲ σοφῶν φυλάσσει αὐτούς.
3In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
4οὗ μή εἰσι βόες, φάτναι καθαραί· οὗ δὲ πολλὰ γεννήματα, φανερὰ βοὸς ἰσχύς.
4Where no oxen are , the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
5μάρτυς πιστὸς οὐ ψεύδεται, ἐκκαίει δὲ ψευδῆ μάρτυς ἄδικος.
5A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
6ζητήσεις σοφίαν παρὰ κακοῖς καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσεις, αἴσθησις δὲ παρὰ φρονίμοις εὐχερής.
6A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.
7πάντα ἐναντία ἀνδρὶ ἄφρονι, ὅπλα δὲ αἰσθήσεως χείλη σοφά.
7Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.
8σοφία πανούργων ἐπιγνώσεται τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν, ἄνοια δὲ ἀφρόνων ἐν πλάνῃ.
8The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
9οἰκίαι παρανόμων ὀφειλήσουσι καθαρισμόν, οἰκίαι δὲ δικαίων δεκταί.
9Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.
10καρδία ἀνδρὸς αἰσθητική, λυπηρὰ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ· ὅταν δὲ εὐφραίνηται, οὐκ ἐπιμίγνυται ὕβρει.
10The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.
11οἰκίαι ἀσεβῶν ἀφανισθήσονται, σκηναὶ δὲ κατορθούντων στήσονται.
11The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
12ἔστιν ὁδός, ἣ δοκεῖ παρὰ ἀνθρώποις ὀρθὴ εἶναι, τὰ δὲ τελευταῖα αὐτῆς ἔρχεται εἰς πυθμένα ᾄδου.
12There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
13ἐν εὐφροσύναις οὐ προσμίγνυται λύπη, τελευταῖα δὲ χαρὰ εἰς πένθος ἔρχεται.
13Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
14τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ὁδῶν πλησθήσεται θρασυκάρδιος, ἀπὸ δὲ τῶν διανοημάτων αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ ἀγαθός.
14The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
15ἄκακος πιστεύει παντὶ λόγῳ, πανοῦργος δὲ ἔρχεται εἰς μετάνοιαν.
15The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
16σοφὸς φοβηθεὶς ἐξέκλινεν ἀπὸ κακοῦ, ὁ δὲ ἄφρων ἑαυτῷ πεποιθὼς μίγνυται ἀνόμῳ.
16A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
17ὀξύθυμος πράσσει μετὰ ἀβουλίας, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος πολλὰ ὑποφέρει.
17He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.
18μεριοῦνται ἄφρονες κακίαν, οἱ δὲ πανοῦργοι κρατήσουσιν αἰσθήσεως.
18The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19ὀλισθήσουσι κακοὶ ἔναντι ἀγαθῶν, καὶ ἀσεβεῖς θεραπεύσουσι θύρας δικαίων.
19The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20φίλοι μισήσουσι φίλους πτωχούς, φίλοι δὲ πλουσίων πολλοί.
20The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.
21ὁ ἀτιμάζων πένητας ἁμαρτάνει, ἐλεῶν δὲ πτωχοὺς μακαριστός.
21He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
22πλανώμενοι τεκταίνουσι κακά, ἔλεον δὲ καὶ ἀλήθειαν τεκταίνουσιν ἀγαθοί. οὐκ ἐπίστανται ἔλεον καὶ πίστιν τέκτονες κακῶν, ἐλεημοσύναι δὲ καὶ πίστεις παρὰ τέκτοσιν ἀγαθοῖς.
22Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
23ἐν παντὶ μεριμνῶντι ἔνεστι περισσόν, ὁ δὲ ἡδὺς καὶ ἀνάλγητος ἐν ἐνδείᾳ ἔσται.
23In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
24στέφανος σοφῶν πλοῦτος αὐτῶν, ἡ δὲ διατριβὴ ἀφρόνων κακή.
24The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.
25ρύσεται ἐκ κακῶν ψυχὴν μάρτυς πιστός, ἐκκαίει δὲ ψεύδη δόλιος.
25A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
26ἐν φόβῳ Κυρίου ἐλπὶς ἰσχύος, τοῖς δὲ τέκνοις αὐτοῦ καταλείπει ἔρεισμα.
26In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
27πρόσταγμα Κυρίου πηγὴ ζωῆς, ποιεῖ δὲ ἐκκλίνειν ἐκ παγίδος θανάτου.
27The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
28ἐν πολλῷ ἔθνει δόξα βασιλέως, ἐν δὲ ἐκλείψει λαοῦ συντριβὴ δυνάστου.
28In the multitude of people is the king’s honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
29μακρόθυμος ἀνὴρ πολὺς ἐν φρονήσει, ὁ δὲ ὀλιγόψυχος ἰσχυρῶς ἄφρων.
29He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
30πραυ±θυμος ἀνὴρ καρδίας ἰατρός, σὴς δὲ ὀστέων καρδία αἰσθητική.
30A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
31ὁ συκοφαντῶν πένητα παροξύνει τὸν ποιήσαντα αὐτόν, ὁ δὲ τιμῶν αὐτὸν ἐλεεῖ πτωχόν.
31He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
32ἐν κακίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀπωσθήσεται ἀσεβής, ὁ δὲ πεποιθὼς τῇ ἑαυτοῦ ὁσιότητι δίκαιος.
32The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
33ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀγαθῇ ἀνδρὸς ἀναπαύσεται σοφίᾳ, ἐν δὲ καρδίᾳ ἀφρόνων οὐ διαγινώσκεται.
33Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
34δικαιοσύνη ὑψοῖ ἔθνος, ἐλασσονοῦσι δὲ φυλὰς ἁμαρτίαι.
34Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
35δεκτὸς βασιλεῖ ὑπηρέτης νοήμων, τῇ δὲ ἑαυτοῦ εὐστροφίᾳ ἀφαιρεῖται ἀτιμίαν.
35The king’s favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
