Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Ζυγοί δόλιοι βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, στάθμιον δὲ δίκαιον δεκτὸν αὐτῷ.
1A false balance is an abomination to the LORD; but a perfect weight is His delight.
2Οὗ ἐὰν εἰσέλθῃ ὕβρις, ἐκεῖ καὶ ἀτιμία· στόμα δὲ ταπεινῶν μελετᾷ σοφίαν.
2When pride cometh, then cometh shame; but with the lowly is wisdom.
3Ἀποθανὼν δίκαιος ἔλιπε μετάμελον, πρόχειρος δὲ γίνεται καὶ ἐπίχαρτος ἀσεβῶν ἀπώλεια.
3The integrity of the upright shall guide them; but the perverseness of the faithless shall destroy them.
no verse 4 in this text
4Riches profit not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death.
5Δικαιοσύνη ἀμώμους ὀρθοτομεῖ ὁδοὺς, ἀσέβεια δὲ περιπίπτει ἀδικίᾳ.
5The righteousness of the sincere shall make straight his way; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6Δικαιοσύνη ἀνδρῶν ὀρθῶν ῥύεται αὐτούς, τῇ δὲ ἀπωλείᾳ αὐτῶν ἁλίσκονται παράνομοι.
6The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; but the faithless shall be trapped in their own crafty device.
7Τελευτήσαντος ἀνδρὸς δικαίου, οὐκ ὄλλυται ἐλπίς, τὸ δὲ καύχημα τῶν ἀσεβῶν ὄλλυται.
7When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish, and the hope of strength perisheth.
8Δίκαιος ἐκ θήρας ἐκδύνει, ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ δὲ παραδίδοται ὁ ἀσεβής.
8The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
9Ἐν στόματι ἀσεβῶν παγὶς πολίταις, αἴσθησις δὲ δικαίων εὔοδος.
9With his mouth the impious man destroyeth his neighbour; but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
10Ἐν ἀγαθοῖς δικαίων κατώρθωσε πόλις,
10When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; and when the wicked perish, there is joy.
11στόμασι δὲ ἀσεβῶν κατεσκάφη.
11By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted; but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12Μυκτηρίζει πολίτας ἐνδεὴς φρενῶν, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος ἡσυχίαν ἄγει.
12He that despiseth his neighbour lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment holdeth his peace.
13Ἀνὴρ δίγλωσσος ἀποκαλύπτει βουλὰς ἐν συνεδρίῳ, πιστὸς δὲ πνοῇ κρύπτει πράγματα.
13He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.
14Οἷς μὴ ὑπάρχει κυβέρνησις, πίπτουσιν ὥσπερ φύλλα, σωτηρία δὲ ὑπάρχει ἐν πολλῇ βουλῇ.
14Where no wise direction is, a people falleth; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
15Πονηρὸς κακοποιεῖ ὅταν συνμίξῃ δικαίῳ, μισεῖ δὲ ἦχον ἀσφαλείας.
15He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; but he that hateth them that strike hands is secure.
16Γυνὴ εὐχάριστος ἐγείρει ἀνδρὶ δόξαν, θρόνος δὲ ἀτιμίας γυνὴ μισοῦσα δίκαια· πλούτου ὀκνηροὶ ἐνδεεῖς γίνονται, οἱ δὲ ἀνδρεῖοι ἐρείδονται πλούτῳ.
16A gracious woman obtaineth honour; and strong men obtain riches.
17Τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ ἀγαθὸν ποιεῖ ἀνὴρ ἐλεήμων, ἐξολλύει δὲ αὐτοῦ σῶμα ὁ ἀνελεήμων.
17The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
18Ἀσεβὴς ποιεῖ ἔργα ἄδικα, σπέρμα δὲ δικαίων μισθὸς ἀληθείας.
18The wicked earneth deceitful wages; but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.
19Υἱὸς δίκαιος γεννᾶται εἰς ζωὴν, διωγμὸς δὲ ἀσεβοῦς εἰς θάνατον.
19Stedfast righteousness tendeth to life; but he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
20Βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ διεστραμμέναι ὁδοὶ, προσδεκτοὶ δὲ αὐτῷ πάντες ἄμωμοι ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν.
20They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD; but such as are upright in their way are His delight.
21Χειρὶ χεῖρας ἐμβαλὼν ἀδίκως οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται, ὁ δὲ σπείρων δικαιοσύνην λήψεται μισθὸν πιστόν.
21My hand upon it! the evil man shall not be unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall escape.
22Ὥσπερ ἐνώτιον ἐν ῥινὶ ὑός, οὕτως γυναικὶ κακόφρονι κάλλος.
22As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman that turneth aside from discretion.
23Ἐπιθυμία δικαίων πᾶσα ἀγαθὴ, ἐλπὶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀπολεῖται.
23The desire of the righteous is only good; but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24Εἰσὶν, οἳ τὰ ἴδια σπείροντες πλείονα ποιοῦσιν· εἰσὶδέ καὶ οἳ συνάγοντες ἐλαττονοῦνται.
24There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.
25Ψυχὴ εὐλογουμένη πᾶσα ἁπλῇ, ἀνὴρ δὲ θυμώδης οὐκ εὐσχήμων.
25The beneficent soul shall be made rich, and he that satisfieth abundantly shall be satisfied also himself.
26Ὁ συνέχων σῖτον ὑπολείποιτο αὐτὸν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν· εὐλογία δὲ εἰς κεφαλὴν τοῦ μεταδιδόντος.
26He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27Τεκταινόμενος ἀγαθὰ ζητεῖ χάριν ἀγαθὴν, ἐκζητοῦντα δὲ κακὰ καταλήψεται αὐτόν.
27He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for evil, it shall come unto him.
28Ὁ πεποιθὼς ἐπὶ πλούτῳ οὗτος πεσεῖται, ὁ δὲ ἀντιλαμβανόμενος δικαίων οὗτος ἀνατελεῖ.
28He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as foliage.
29Ὁ μὴ συμπεριφερόμενος τῷ ἑαυτοῦ οἴκῳ, κληρονομήσει ἄνεμον, δουλεύσει δὲ ἄφρων φρονίμῳ.
29He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30Ἐκ καρποῦ δικαιοσύνης φύεται δένδρὅν ζωῆς, ἀφαιροῦνται δὲ ἄωροι ψυχαὶ παρανόμων.
30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that is wise winneth souls.
31Εἰ ὁ μὲν δίκαιος μόλις σώζεται, ὁ ἀσεβὴς καὶ ἁμαρτωλὸς ποῦ φανεῖται;
31Behold, the righteous shall be requited in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!
