Αρχη σοφιας φοβος Κυριου· οι αφρονες καταφρονουσι την σοφιαν και την διδασκαλιαν.
So long as the simple cleave to justice, they shall not be ashamed: but the foolish being lovers of haughtiness, having become ungodly have hated knowledge, and are become subject to reproofs.

Εως ποτε, μωροι, θελετε αγαπα την μωριαν, και οι χλευασται θελουσιν ηδυνεσθαι εις τους χλευασμους αυτων, και οι αφρονες θελουσι μισει την γνωσιν;
yea when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you.

Οταν ο φοβος σας επελθη ως ερημωσις και η καταστροφη σας εφορμηση ως ανεμοστροβιλος, οταν η θλιψις και η στενοχωρια ελθωσιν εφ' υμας·

Ειναι τιμιωτερα πολυτιμων λιθων· και παντα οσα επιθυμησης δεν ειναι ανταξια αυτης.

Ας ηναι εις σε ως ελαφος ερασμια και δορκας κεχαριτωμενη· ας σε ποτιζωσιν οι μαστοι αυτης εν παντι καιρω· ευφραινου παντοτε εις την αγαπην αυτης.
My son, do what I command thee, and deliver thyself; for on thy friend’s account thou art come into the power of evil men: faint not, but stir up even thy friend for whom thou art become surety.

Καμε λοιπον τουτο, υιε μου, και σωζου, επειδη ηλθες εις τας χειρας του φιλου σου· υπαγε, μη αποκαμης, και βιαζε τον φιλον σου.

Ευθυς ακολουθει αυτην κατοπιν, καθως ο βους υπαγει εις την σφαγην, η καθως η ελαφος πηδα εις τον βροχον,
A gracious wife brings glory to her husband: but a woman hating righteousness is a theme of dishonour. The slothful come to want: but the diligent support themselves with wealth.

Η ευκοσμος γυνη απολαμβανει τιμην· οι δε καρτερικοι απολαμβανουσι πλουτη.
Wealth gotten hastily with iniquity is diminished: but he that gathers for himself with godliness shall be increased. The righteous is merciful, and lends.

Τα εκ ματαιοτητος πλουτη θελουσιν ελαττωθη· ο δε συναγων με την χειρα αυτου θελει αυξηνθη.
They that go astray devise evils: but the good devise mercy and truth. The framers of evil do not understand mercy and truth: but compassion and faithfulness are with the framers of good.

Δεν πλανωνται οι βουλευομενοι κακον; ελεος ομως και αληθεια θελει εισθαι εις τους βουλευομενους αγαθον.
A fool scorns his father’s instruction; but he that keeps his commandments is more prudent. In abounding righteousness is great strength: but the ungodly shall utterly perish from the earth.

Ο αφρων καταφρονει την διδασκαλιαν του πατρος αυτου· ο δε φυλαττων ελεγχον ειναι φρονιμος.
The paths of life turn aside from evil; and the ways of righteousness are length of life. He that receives instruction shall be in prosperity; and he that regards reproofs shall be made wise. He that keeps his ways, preserves his own soul; and he that loves his life will spare his mouth.

Οστις περιγελα τον πτωχον, ονειδιζει τον Ποιητην αυτου· οστις χαιρει εις συμφορας, δεν θελει μεινει ατιμωρητος.
He that has found a good wife has found favours, and has received gladness from God. (22a) He that puts away a good wife, puts away a good thing, and he that keeps an adulteress is foolish and ungodly.

Οστις ευρηκε γυναικα, ευρηκεν αγαθον και απηλαυσε χαριν παρα Κυριου.
Every one who hates his poor brother shall also be far from friendship. Good understanding will draw near to them that know it, and a sensible man will find it. He that does much harm perfects mischief; and he that used provoking words shall not escape.

Τον πτωχον μισουσι παντες οι αδελφοι αυτου· ποσω μαλλον θελουσιν αποφευγει αυτον οι φιλοι αυτου; αυτος ακολουθει φωναζων· αλλ' εκεινοι δεν αποκρινονται.
If thou shouldest fix thine eye upon him, he will disappear; for wings like an eagle’s are prepared for him, and he returns to the house of his master.

Θελεις επιστησει τους οφθαλμους σου εις το μη υπαρχον; διοτι ο πλουτος κατασκευαζει βεβαιως εις εαυτον πτερυγας ως αετου και πετα προς τον ουρανον.
And thou shalt say, They smote me, and I was not pained; and they mocked me, and I knew it not: when will it be morning, that I may go and seek those with whom I may go in company?

με ετυπτον, θελεις ειπει, και δεν επονεσα· με εδειραν, και δεν ησθανθην· ποτε θελω εγερθη, δια να υπαγω να ζητησω αυτον παλιν;
But if thou shouldest say, I know not this man; know that the Lord knows the hearts of all; and he that formed breath for all, he knows all things, who renders to every man according to his works.

Εαν ειπης, Ιδου, ημεις δεν εξευρομεν τουτο· δεν γνωριζει ο σταθμιζων τας καρδιας; και ο φυλαττων την ψυχην σου και αποδιδων εις εκαστον κατα τα εργα αυτου, δεν εξευρει;
For they will suddenly punish the ungodly, and who can know the vengeance inflicted by both? (22a) A son that keeps the commandment shall escape destruction; for such an one has fully received it. (22b) Let no falsehood be spoken by the king from the tongue; yea, let no falsehood proceed from his tongue. (22c) The king’s tongue is a sword, and not one of flesh; and whosoever shall be given up to it shall be destroyed: (22d) for if his wrath should be provoked, he destroys men with cords, (22e) and devours men’s bones, and burns them up as a flame, so that they are not even fit to be eaten by the young eagles.

διοτι η συμφορα αυτων θελει επελθει εξαιφνης· και τις γνωριζει αμφοτερων τας τιμωριας;
for it is better for thee that it should be said, Come up to me, than that one should humble thee in the presence of the prince; speak of that which thine eyes have seen.

Διοτι καλητερον να σοι ειπωσιν, Αναβα εδω, παρα να καταβιβασθης επι παρουσια του αρχοντος, τον οποιον ειδον οι οφθαλμοι σου.
As a fall of snow in the time of harvest is good against heat, so a faithful messenger refreshes those that send him; for he helps the souls of his employers.

Ως το ψυχος της χιονος εν καιρω του θερισμου, ουτως ειναι ο πιστος πρεσβυς εις τους αποστελλοντας αυτον· διοτι αναπαυει την ψυχην των κυριων αυτου.
Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; and when thou art in distress go not into thy brother’s house: better is a friend that is near than a brother living far off.

Τον φιλον σου και τον φιλον του πατρος σου μη εγκαταλιπης· εις δε τον οικον του αδελφου σου μη εισελθης εν τη ημερα της συμφορας σου· διοτι καλητερον ειναι γειτων πλησιον παρα αδελφος μακραν.
He that causes upright men to err in an evil way, himself shall fall into destruction: transgressor also shall pass by prosperity, but shall not enter into it.

Ο αποπλανων τους ευθεις εις οδον κακην αυτος θελει πεσει εις τον ιδιον αυτου λακκον· αλλ' οι αμεμπτοι θελουσι κληρονομησει αγαθα.
they fearing and reverencing men unreasonably have been overthrown, but he that trusts in the Lord shall rejoice. Ungodliness causes a man to stumble: but he that trusts in his master shall be safe.

Ο φοβος του ανθρωπου στηνει παγιδα· ο δε πεποιθως επι Κυριον θελει εισθαι εν ασφαλεια.
Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name? Surely you know!
