Proverbs 10
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
1ΥΙΟΣ σοφὸς εὐφραίνει πατέρα, υἱὸς δὲ ἄφρων λύπη τῇ μητρί.
2Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivereth from death.
2οὐκ ὠφελήσουσι θησαυροὶ ἀνόμους, δικαιοσύνη δὲ ρύσεται ἐκ θανάτου.
3The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; but He thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.
3οὐ λιμοκτονήσει Κύριος ψυχὴν δικαίαν, ζωὴν δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀνατρέψει.
4He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand; but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
4πενία ἄνδρα ταπεινοῖ, χεῖρες δὲ ἀνδρείων πλουτίζουσιν. 4α υἱὸς πεπαιδευμένος σοφὸς ἔσται, τῷ δὲ ἄφρονι διακόνῳ χρήσεται.
5A wise son gathereth in summer; but a son that doeth shamefully sleepeth in harvest.
5διεσώθη ἀπὸ καύματος υἱὸς νοήμων, ἀνεμόφθορος δὲ γίνεται ἐν ἀμητῷ υἱὸς παράνομος.
6Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.
6εὐλογία Κυρίου ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν δικαίου, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν καλύψει πένθος ἄωρον.
7The memory of the righteous shall be for a blessing; but the name of the wicked shall rot.
7μνήμη δικαίων μετ᾿ ἐγκωμίων, ὄνομα δὲ ἀσεβοῦς σβέννυται.
8The wise in heart will receive commandments; but a prating fool shall fall.
8σοφὸς καρδίᾳ δέξεται ἐντολάς, ὁ δὲ ἄστεγος χείλεσι σκολιάζων ὑποσκελισθήσεται.
9He that walketh uprightly walketh securely; but he that perverteth his ways shall be found out.
9ὃς πορεύεται ἁπλῶς, πορεύεται πεποιθώς, ὁ δὲ διαστρέφων τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ, γνωσθήσεται.
10He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; and a prating fool shall fall.
10ὁ ἐννεύων ὀφθαλμοῖς μετὰ δόλου, συνάγει ἀνδράσι λύπας, ὁ δὲ ἐλέγχων μετὰ παρρησίας, εἰρηνοποιεῖ.
11The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.
11πηγὴ ζωῆς ἐν χειρὶ δικαίου, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβοῦς καλύψει ἀπώλεια.
12Hatred stirreth up strifes; but love covereth all transgressions.
12μῖσος ἐγείρει νεῖκος, πάντας δὲ τοὺς μὴ φιλονεικοῦντας καλύπτει φιλία.
13In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
13ὃς ἐκ χειλέων προφέρει σοφίαν, ράβδῳ τύπτει ἄνδρα ἀκάρδιον.
14Wise men lay up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is an imminent ruin.
14σοφοὶ κρύψουσιν αἴσθησιν, στόμα δὲ προπετοῦς ἐγγίζει συντριβῇ.
15The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty.
15κτῆσις πλουσίων πόλις ὀχυρά, συντριβὴ δὲ ἀσεβῶν πενία.
16The wages of the righteous is life; the increase of the wicked is sin.
16ἔργα δικαίων ζωὴν ποιεῖ, καρποὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἁμαρτίας.
17He is in the way of life that heedeth instruction; but he that forsaketh reproof erreth.
17ὁδοὺς δικαίας ζωῆς φυλάσσει παιδεία, παιδεία δὲ ἀνεξέλεγκτος πλανᾶται.
18He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; and he that uttereth a slander is a fool.
18καλύπτουσιν ἔχθραν χείλη δίκαια, οἱ δὲ ἐκφέροντες λοιδορίας ἀφρονέστατοί εἰσιν.
19In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
19ἐκ πολυλογίας οὐκ ἐκφεύξῃ ἁμαρτίαν, φειδόμενος δὲ χειλέων νοήμων ἔσῃ.
20The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is little worth.
20ἄργυρος πεπυρωμένος γλῶσσα δικαίου, καρδία δὲ ἀσεβοῦς ἐκλείψει.
21The lips of the righteous feed many; but the foolish die for want of understanding.
21χείλη δικαίων ἐπίσταται ὑψηλά, οἱ δὲ ἄφρονες ἐν ἐνδείᾳ τελευτῶσιν.
22The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and toil addeth nothing thereto.
22εὐλογία Κυρίου ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν δικαίου· αὕτη πλουτίζει, καὶ οὐ μὴ προστεθῇ αὐτῇ λύπη ἐν καρδία.
23It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness, and so is wisdom to a man of discernment.
23ἐν γέλωτι ἄφρων πράσσει κακά, ἡ δὲ σοφία ἀνδρὶ τίκτει φρόνησιν.
24The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; and the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
24ἐν ἀπωλείᾳ ἀσεβὴς περιφέρεται, ἐπιθυμία δὲ δικαίου δεκτή.
25When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
25παραπορευομένης καταιγίδος ἀφανίζεται ἀσεβής, δίκαιος δὲ ἐκκλίνας σώζεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
26As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
26ὥσπερ ὄμφαξ ὀδοῦσι βλαβερὸν καὶ καπνὸς ὄμμασιν, οὕτως παρανομία τοῖς χρωμένοις αὐτῇ.
27The fear of the LORD prolongeth days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
27φόβος Κυρίου προστίθησιν ἡμέρας, ἔτη δὲ ἀσεβῶν ὀλιγωθήσεται.
28The hope of the righteous is gladness; but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
28ἐγχρονίζει δικαίοις εὐφροσύνη, ἐλπὶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀπολεῖται.
29The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, but ruin to the workers of iniquity.
29ὀχύρωμα ὁσίου φόβος Κυρίου, συντριβὴ δὲ τοῖς ἐργαζομένοις κακά.
30The righteous shall never be moved; but the wicked shall not inhabit the land.
30δίκαιος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα οὐκ ἐνδώσει, ἀσεβεῖς δὲ οὐκ οἰκήσουσι γῆν.
31The mouth of the righteous buddeth with wisdom; but the froward tongue shall be cut off.
31στόμα δικαίου ἀποστάζει σοφίαν, γλῶσσα δὲ ἀδίκου ἐξολεῖται.
32The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; but the mouth of the wicked is all frowardness.
32χείλη ἀνδρῶν δικαίων ἀποστάζει χάριτας, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀποστρέφεται.
