1The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
1ΥΙΟΣ σοφὸς εὐφραίνει πατέρα, υἱὸς δὲ ἄφρων λύπη τῇ μητρί.
2Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.
2οὐκ ὠφελήσουσι θησαυροὶ ἀνόμους, δικαιοσύνη δὲ ρύσεται ἐκ θανάτου.
3The LORD will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry, but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
3οὐ λιμοκτονήσει Κύριος ψυχὴν δικαίαν, ζωὴν δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀνατρέψει.
4He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.
4πενία ἄνδρα ταπεινοῖ, χεῖρες δὲ ἀνδρείων πλουτίζουσιν. 4α υἱὸς πεπαιδευμένος σοφὸς ἔσται, τῷ δὲ ἄφρονι διακόνῳ χρήσεται.
5He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame.
5διεσώθη ἀπὸ καύματος υἱὸς νοήμων, ἀνεμόφθορος δὲ γίνεται ἐν ἀμητῷ υἱὸς παράνομος.
6Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
6εὐλογία Κυρίου ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν δικαίου, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν καλύψει πένθος ἄωρον.
7The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.
7μνήμη δικαίων μετ᾿ ἐγκωμίων, ὄνομα δὲ ἀσεβοῦς σβέννυται.
8The wise in heart accept commandments, but a chattering fool will fall.
8σοφὸς καρδίᾳ δέξεται ἐντολάς, ὁ δὲ ἄστεγος χείλεσι σκολιάζων ὑποσκελισθήσεται.
9He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.
9ὃς πορεύεται ἁπλῶς, πορεύεται πεποιθώς, ὁ δὲ διαστρέφων τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ, γνωσθήσεται.
10One who winks with the eye causes sorrow, but a chattering fool will fall.
10ὁ ἐννεύων ὀφθαλμοῖς μετὰ δόλου, συνάγει ἀνδράσι λύπας, ὁ δὲ ἐλέγχων μετὰ παρρησίας, εἰρηνοποιεῖ.
11The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
11πηγὴ ζωῆς ἐν χειρὶ δικαίου, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβοῦς καλύψει ἀπώλεια.
12Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs.
12μῖσος ἐγείρει νεῖκος, πάντας δὲ τοὺς μὴ φιλονεικοῦντας καλύπτει φιλία.
13Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment, but a rod is for the back of him who 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 near ruin.
14σοφοὶ κρύψουσιν αἴσθησιν, στόμα δὲ προπετοῦς ἐγγίζει συντριβῇ.
15The rich man’s wealth is his strong city. The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
15κτῆσις πλουσίων πόλις ὀχυρά, συντριβὴ δὲ ἀσεβῶν πενία.
16The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin.
16ἔργα δικαίων ζωὴν ποιεῖ, καρποὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἁμαρτίας.
17He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.
17ὁδοὺς δικαίας ζωῆς φυλάσσει παιδεία, παιδεία δὲ ἀνεξέλεγκτος πλανᾶται.
18He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool.
18καλύπτουσιν ἔχθραν χείλη δίκαια, οἱ δὲ ἐκφέροντες λοιδορίας ἀφρονέστατοί εἰσιν.
19In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.
19ἐκ πολυλογίας οὐκ ἐκφεύξῃ ἁμαρτίαν, φειδόμενος δὲ χειλέων νοήμων ἔσῃ.
20The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth.
20ἄργυρος πεπυρωμένος γλῶσσα δικαίου, καρδία δὲ ἀσεβοῦς ἐκλείψει.
21The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.
21χείλη δικαίων ἐπίσταται ὑψηλά, οἱ δὲ ἄφρονες ἐν ἐνδείᾳ τελευτῶσιν.
22The LORD’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.
22εὐλογία Κυρίου ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν δικαίου· αὕτη πλουτίζει, καὶ οὐ μὴ προστεθῇ αὐτῇ λύπη ἐν καρδία.
23It is a fool’s pleasure to do wickedness, but wisdom is a man of understanding’s pleasure.
23ἐν γέλωτι ἄφρων πράσσει κακά, ἡ δὲ σοφία ἀνδρὶ τίκτει φρόνησιν.
24What the wicked fear will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
24ἐν ἀπωλείᾳ ἀσεβὴς περιφέρεται, ἐπιθυμία δὲ δικαίου δεκτή.
25When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the righteous stand firm forever.
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 those who send him.
26ὥσπερ ὄμφαξ ὀδοῦσι βλαβερὸν καὶ καπνὸς ὄμμασιν, οὕτως παρανομία τοῖς χρωμένοις αὐτῇ.
27The fear of the LORD prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
27φόβος Κυρίου προστίθησιν ἡμέρας, ἔτη δὲ ἀσεβῶν ὀλιγωθήσεται.
28The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hope of the wicked will perish.
28ἐγχρονίζει δικαίοις εὐφροσύνη, ἐλπὶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀπολεῖται.
29The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
29ὀχύρωμα ὁσίου φόβος Κυρίου, συντριβὴ δὲ τοῖς ἐργαζομένοις κακά.
30The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
30δίκαιος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα οὐκ ἐνδώσει, ἀσεβεῖς δὲ οὐκ οἰκήσουσι γῆν.
31The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but the perverse tongue will 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 perverse.
32χείλη ἀνδρῶν δικαίων ἀποστάζει χάριτας, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀποστρέφεται.
