ΠΑΡΟΙΜΙΑΙ 13

Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Υἱὸς πανοῦργος ὑπήκοος πατρὶ, υἱὸς δὲ ἀνήκοος ἐν ἀπωλείᾳ.
1A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
2Ἀπὸ καρπῶν δικαιοσύνης φάγεται ἀγαθὸς, ψυχαὶ δὲ παρανόμων ὀλοῦνται ἄωροι.
2A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
3Ὃς φυλάσσει τὸ ἑαυτοῦ στόμα τηρεῖ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχὴν, ὁ δὲ προπετὴς χείλεσι πτοήσει ἑαυτόν.
3He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
4Ἐν ἐπιθυμίαις ἐστὶ πᾶς ἀεργὸς, χεῖρες δὲ ἀνδρείων ἐν ἐπιμελείᾳ.
4The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
5Λόγον ἄδικον μισεῖ δίκαιος, ἀσεβὴς δὲ αἰσχύνεται, καὶ οὐκ ἕξει παῤῥησίαν.
5A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
no verse 6 in this text
6Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7Εἰσὶν οἱ πλουτίζοντες ἑαυτοὺς μηδὲν ἔχοντες, καὶ εἰσὶν οἱ ταπεινοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ἐν πολλῷ πλούτῳ.
7There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
8Λύτρον ἀνδρὸς ψυχῆς ὁ ἴδιος πλοῦτος, πτωχὸς δὲ οὐχ ὑφίσταται ἀπειλήν.
8The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
9Φῶς δικαίοις διαπαντὸς, φῶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν σβέννυται· ψυχαὶ δόλιαι πλανῶνται ἐν ἁμαρτίαις, δίκαιοι δὲ οἰκτείρουσι καὶ ἐλεοῦσι.
9The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10Κακὸς μεθʼ ὕβρεως πράσσει κακὰ, οἱ δʼ ἑαυτῶν ἐπιγνώμονες σοφοί.
10Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
11Ὕπαρξις ἐπισπουδαζομένη μετὰ ἀνομίας, ἐλάσσων γίνεται, ὁ δὲ συνάγων ἑαυτῷ μετʼ εὐσεβείας πληθυνθήσεται· δίκαιος οἰκτείρει καὶ κιχρᾷ.
11Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
12Κρείσσων ἐναρχόμενος βοηθῶν καρδίᾳ, τοῦ ἐπαγγελλομένου καὶ εἰς ἐλπίδα ἄγοντος· δένδρον γὰρ ζωῆς, ἐπιθυμία ἀγαθή.
12Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
13Ὃς καταφρονεῖ πράγματος, καταφρονηθήσεται ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ· ὁ δὲ φοβούμενος ἐντολὴν, οὗτος ὑγιαίνει· υἱῷ δολίῳ οὐδὲν ἔσται ἀγαθὸν, οἰκέτῃ δὲ σοφῷ εὔοδοι ἔσονται πράξεις, καὶ κατευθυνθήσεται ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ.
13Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
14Νόμος σοφοῦ πηγὴ ζωῆς, ὁ δὲ ἄνους ὑπὸ παγίδος θανεῖται.
14The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
15Σύνεσις ἀγαθὴ δίδωσι χάριν, τὸ δὲ γνῶναι νόμον διανοίας ἐστὶν ἀγαθῆς, ὁδοὶ δὲ καταφρονούντων ἐν ἀπωλείᾳ.
15Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.
16Πᾶς πανοῦργος πράσσει μετὰ γνώσεως, ὁ δὲ ἄφρων ἐξεπέτασεν ἑαυτοῦ κακίαν.
16Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.
17Βασιλεὺς θρασὺς ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς κακὰ, ἄγγελος δὲ σοφὸς ῥύσεται αὐτόν.
17A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
18Πενίαν καὶ ἀτιμίαν ἀφαιρεῖται παιδεία, ὁ δὲ φυλάσσων ἐλέγχους δοξασθήσεται.
18Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
19Ἐπιθυμίαι εὐσεβῶν ἡδύνουσι ψυχὴν, ἔργα δὲ ἀσεβῶν μακρὰν ἀπὸ γνώσεως.
19The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
20Συμπορευόμενος σοφοῖς σοφὸς ἔσῃ, ὁ δὲ συμπορευόμενος ἄφροσι γνωσθήσεται.
20He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
21Ἁμαρτάνοντας καταδιώξεται κακὰ, τοὺς δὲ δικαίους καταλήψεται ἀγαθά.
21Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.
22Ἀγαθὸς ἀνὴρ κληρονομήσει υἱοὺς υἱῶν, θησαυρίζεται δὲ δικαίοις πλοῦτος ἀσεβῶν.
22A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
23Δίκαιοι ποιήσουσιν ἐν πλούτῳ ἔτη πολλὰ, ἄδικοι δὲ ἀπολοῦνται συντόμως.
23Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.
24Ὃς φείδεται τῆς βακτηρίας, μισεῖ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ὁ δὲ ἀγαπῶν, ἐπιμελῶς παιδεύει.
24He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
25Δίκαιος ἔσθων ἐμπιπλᾷ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ, ψυχαὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἐνδεεῖς.
25The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
