Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, ἐνδελεχήσει μάστιγας αὐτῷ, ἵνα εὐφρανθῇ ἐπʼ ἐσχάτῳ αὐτοῦ.
1He that loveth his son causeth him oft to feel the rod, that he may have joy of him in the end.
2Ὁ παιδεύων τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ὀνήσεται ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀναμέσον γνωρίμων ἐπʼ αὐτῷ καυχήσεται.
2He that chastiseth his son shall have joy in him, and shall rejoice of him among his acquaintance.
3Ὁ διδάσκων τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ παραζηλώσει τὸν ἐχθρὸν, καὶ ἔναντι φίλων ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ἀγαλλιάσεται.
3He that teacheth his son grieveth the enemy: and before his friends he shall rejoice of him.
4Ἐτελεύτησεν αὐτοῦ ὁ πατὴρ, καὶ ὡς οὐκ ἀπέθανεν, ὅμοιον γὰρ αὐτῷ κατέλιπε μετʼ αὐτόν.
4Though his father die, yet he is as though he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself.
5Ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ εἶδε καὶ εὐφράνθη, καὶ ἐν τῇ τελευτῇ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐλυπήθη.
5While he lived, he saw and rejoiced in him: and when he died, he was not sorrowful.
6Ἐναντίον ἐχθρῶν κατέλιπεν ἔκδικον, καὶ τοῖς φίλοις ἀνταποδιδόντα χάριν.
6He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, and one that shall requite kindness to his friends.
7Περιψύχων υἱὸν καταδεσμεύσει τραύματα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ πάσῃ βοῇ ταραχθήσεται σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ.
7He that maketh too much of his son shall bind up his wounds; and his bowels will be troubled at every cry.
8Ἵππος ἀδάμαστος ἀποβαίνει σκληρὸς, καὶ υἱὸς ἀνειμένος ἐκβαίνει προαλής.
8An horse not broken becometh headstrong: and a child left to himself will be wilful.
9Τιθήνησον τέκνον καὶ ἐκθαμβήσει σε, σύμπαιζον αὐτῷ καὶ λυπήσει σε.
9Cocker thy child, and he shall make thee afraid: play with him, and he will bring thee to heaviness.
10Μὴ συγγελάσῃς αὐτῷ ἵνα μὴ συνοδυνηθῇς, καὶ ἐπʼ ἐσχάτῳ γομφιάσεις τοὺς ὀδόντας σου.
10Laugh not with him, lest thou have sorrow with him, and lest thou gnash thy teeth in the end.
11Μὴ δῷς αὐτῷ ἐξουσίαν ἐν νεότητι.
11Give him no liberty in his youth, and wink not at his follies.
12Θλάσον τὰς πλευρὰς αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἔστι νήπιος, μήποτε σκληρυνθεὶς ἀπειθήσῃ σοι.
12Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat him on the sides while he is a child, lest he wax stubborn, and be disobedient unto thee, and so bring sorrow to thine heart.
13Παίδευσον τὸν υἱόν σου, καὶ ἔργασαι ἐναὐτῷ, ἵνα μὴ ἐν τῇ ἀσχημοσύνῃ σου προσκόψῃ. Καὶ μὴ παρίδῃς τὰς ἀγνοίας αὐτοῦ. Κάμψον τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ ἐν νεότητι. ΠΕΡΙ ʼΥΓΙΕΙΑΣ.
13Chastise thy son, and hold him to labour, lest his lewd behaviour be an offence unto thee.
14Κρείσσων πτωχὸς ὑγιὴς καὶ ἰσχύων τῇ ἕξει, ἢ πλούσιος μεμαστιγωμένος εἰς σῶμα αὐτοῦ.
14Better is the poor, being sound and strong of constitution, than a rich man that is afflicted in his body.
15Ὑγιεία καὶ εὐεξία βέλτιον παντὸς χρυσίου, καὶ σῶμα εὔρωστον ἢ ὄλβος ἀμέτρητος.
15Health and good estate of body are above all gold, and a strong body above infinite wealth.
16Οὐκ ἔστι πλοῦτος βελτίων ὑγιείας σώματος, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν εὐφροσύνη ὑπὲρ χαρὰν καρδίας.
16There is no riches above a sound body, and no joy above the joy of the heart.
17Κρείσσων θάνατος ὑπὲρ ζωὴν πικρὰν, ἢ ἀῤῥώστημα ἔμμονον.
17Death is better than a bitter life or continual sickness.
18Ἀγαθὰ ἐκκεχυμένα ἐπὶ στόματι κεκλεισμένῳ, θέματα βρωμάτων παρακείμενα ἐπὶ τάφῳ.
18Delicates poured upon a mouth shut up are as messes of meat set upon a grave.
19Τί συμφέρει κάρπωσις εἰδώλῳ; οὔτε γὰρ ἔδεται οὔτε μὴ ὀσφρανθῇ· οὕτως ὁ ἐκδιωκόμενος ὑπὸ Κυρίου.
19What good doeth the offering unto an idol? for neither can it eat nor smell: so is he that is persecuted of the Lord.
20Βλέπων ἐν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς καὶ στενάζων, ὥσπερ εὐνοῦχος περιλαμβάνων παρθένον καὶ στενάζων.
20He seeth with his eyes and groaneth, as an eunuch that embraceth a virgin and sigheth.
21Μὴ δῷς εἰς λύπην τὴν ψυχήν σου, καὶ μὴ θλίψῃς σεαυτὸν ἐν βουλῇ σου.
21Give not over thy mind to heaviness, and afflict not thyself in thine own counsel.
22Εὐφροσύνη καρδίας ζωὴ ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ἀγαλλίαμα ἀνδρὸς μακροημέρευσις.
22The gladness of the heart is the life of man, and the joyfulness of a man prolongeth his days.
23Ἀγάπα τὴν ψυχήν σου, καὶ παρακάλει τὴν καρδίαν σου, καὶ λύπην μακρὰν ἀπόστησον ἀπὸ σοῦ· πολλοὺς γὰρ ἀπέκτεινεν ἡ λύπη, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὠφέλεια ἐν αὐτῇ.
23Love thine own soul, and comfort thy heart, remove sorrow far from thee: for sorrow hath killed many, and there is no profit therein.
24Ζῆλος καὶ θυμὸς ἐλαττοῦσιν ἡμέρας, καὶ πρὸ καιροῦ γῆρας ἄγει μέριμνα.
24Envy and wrath shorten the life, and carefulness bringeth age before the time.
25Ὡς καλαμώμενος ὀπίσω τρυγητῶν, ἐν εὐλογίᾳ Κυρίου ἔφθασα,
25A cheerful and good heart will have a care of his meat and diet.
26καὶ ὡς τρυγῶν ἐπλήρωσα ληνόν. Κατανοήσατε ὅτι οὐκ ἐμοὶ μόνῳ ἐκοπίασα, ἀλλὰ πᾶσι τοῖς ζητοῦσι παιδείαν.
