the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a maiden.
-
ἴσνος ἀετός πέτομαι καί ὁδός ὄφις ἐπί πέτρα καί τρίβος ναῦς ποντοπορέω καί ὁδός ἀνήρ ἐν νεότης
كَذَلِكَ طَرِيقُ الْمَرْأَةِ الزَّانِيَةِ. أَكَلَتْ وَمَسَحَتْ فَمَهَا وَقَالَتْ: «مَا عَمِلْتُ إِثْمًا!»
כֵּ֤ן ׀ דֶּ֥רֶךְ אִשָּׁ֗ה מְנָ֫אָ֥פֶת אָ֭כְלָה וּמָ֣חֲתָה פִ֑יהָ וְ֝אָמְרָ֗ה לֹֽא־פָעַ֥לְתִּי אָֽוֶן׃ פ
-
This is the way of an adulteress: she eats, and wipes her mouth, and says, “I have done no wrong.”
-
τοιοῦτος ὁδός γυνή μοιχαλίς ὅς ὅταν πράσσω ἀπονίπτω οὐδείς φημί πράσσω ἄτοπος

أربعة أعباء

تَحْتَ ثَلاَثَةٍ تَضْطَرِبُ الأَرْضُ، وَأَرْبَعَةٌ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ احْتِمَالَهَا:
תַּ֣חַת לֹושׁ רָ֣גְזָה אֶ֑רֶץ וְתַ֥חַת אַ֝רְבַּ֗ע לֹא־תוּכַ֥ל שְׂאֵֽת׃
-
Under three things the earth trembles; under four it cannot bear up:
-
διά τρεῖς σείω ὁ γῆ ὁ δέ τέταρτος οὐ δύναμαι φέρω
تَحْتَ عَبْدٍ إِذَا مَلَكَ، وَأَحْمَقَ إِذَا شَبِعَ خُبْزًا،
תַּֽחַת־עֶ֭בֶד כִּ֣י יִמְלֹ֑וךְ וְ֝נָבָ֗ל כִּ֣י יִֽשְׂבַּֽע־לָֽחֶם׃
-
a slave when he becomes king, and a fool when he is filled with food;
-
ἐάν οἰκέτης βασιλεύω καί ἄφρων πίμπλημι σιτίον
تَحْتَ شَنِيعَةٍ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَتْ، وَأَمَةٍ إِذَا وَرَثَتْ سَيِّدَتَهَا.
תַּ֣חַת נוּאָה כִּ֣י תִבָּעֵ֑ל וְ֝שִׁפְחָ֗ה כִּֽי־תִירַ֥שׁ גְּבִרְתָּֽהּ׃ פ
-
an unloved woman when she gets a husband, and a maid when she succeeds her mistress.
-
καί οἰκέτις ἐάν ἐκβάλλω ὁ ἑαυτοῦ κυρία καί μισητός γυνή ἐάν τυγχάνω ἀνήρ ἀγαθός

أربعة حيوانات حكيمة

أَرْبَعَةٌ هِيَ الأَصْغَرُ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَلكِنَّهَا حَكِيمَةٌ جِدًّا:
אַרְבָּ֣עָה הֵ֭ם קְטַנֵּי־אָ֑רֶץ וְ֝הֵ֗מָּה חֲכָמִ֥ים מְחֻכָּמִֽים׃
-
Four things on earth are small, but they are exceedingly wise:
-
τέσσαρες δέ εἰμί ἐλαχύς ἐπί ὁ γῆ οὗτος δέ εἰμί σοφός ὁ σοφός
النَّمْلُ طَائِفَةٌ غَيْرُ قَوِيَّةٍ، وَلكِنَّهُ يُعِدُّ طَعَامَهُ فِي الصَّيْفِ.
הַ֭נְּמָלִים עַ֣ם לֹא־עָ֑ז וַיָּכִ֖ינוּ בַקַּ֣יִץ לַחְמָֽם׃
-
the ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;
-
ὁ μύρμηξ ὅς μή εἰμί ἰσχύς καί ἑτοιμάζω θέρος ὁ τροφή
الْوِبَارُ طَائِفَةٌ ضَعِيفَةٌ، وَلكِنَّهَا تَضَعُ بُيُوتَهَا فِي الصَّخْرِ.
פַנִּים עַ֣ם לֹא־עָצ֑וּם וַיָּשִׂ֖ימוּ בַסֶּ֣לַע בֵּיתָֽם׃
-
the badgers are a people not mighty, yet they make their homes in the rocks;
-
καί ὁ χοιρογρύλλιος ἔθνος οὐ ἰσχυρός ὅς ποιέω ἐν πέτρα ὁ ἑαυτοῦ οἶκος
الْجَرَادُ لَيْسَ لَهُ مَلِكٌ، وَلكِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ كُلُّهُ فِرَقًا فِرَقًا.
מֶ֭לֶךְ אֵ֣ין לָאַרְבֶּ֑ה וַיֵּצֵ֖א חֹצֵ֣ץ כֻּלֹּֽו׃
-
the locusts have no king, yet all of them march in rank;
-
ἀβασίλευτος εἰμί ὁ ἀκρίς καί ἐκστρατεύω ἀπό εἷς κέλευσμα εὐτάκτως
الْعَنْكَبُوتُ تُمْسِكُ بِيَدَيْهَا، وَهِيَ فِي قُصُورِ الْمُلُوكِ.
מָמִית בְּיָדַ֣יִם תְּתַפֵּ֑שׂ וְ֝הִ֗יא בְּהֵ֣יכְלֵי מֶֽלֶךְ׃ פ
-
the lizard you can take in your hands, yet it is in kings’ palaces.
-
καί καλαβώτης χείρ ἐρειδόμενος καί εὐάλωτος εἰμί καταοἰκέω ἐν ὀχύρωμα βασιλεύς

في الجلال والوقار

ثَلاَثَةٌ هِيَ حَسَنَةُ التَّخَطِّي، وَأَرْبَعَةٌ مَشْيُهَا مُسْتَحْسَنٌ:
שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה הֵ֭מָּה מֵיטִ֣יבֵי צָ֑עַד וְ֝אַרְבָּעָ֗ה מֵיטִ֥בֵי לָֽכֶת׃
-
Three things are stately in their tread; four are stately in their stride:
-
τρεῖς δέ εἰμί ὅς εὐόδως πορεύομαι καί ὁ τέταρτος ὅς καλῶς διαβαίνω
اَلأَسَدُ جَبَّارُ الْوُحُوشِ، وَلَا يَرْجِعُ مِنْ قُدَّامِ أَحَدٍ،
לַ֭יִשׁ גִּבֹּ֣ור בַּבְּהֵמָ֑ה וְלֹא־יָ֝שׁ֗וּב מִפְּנֵי־כֹֽל׃
-
the lion, which is mightiest among beasts and does not turn back before any;
-
σκύμνος λέων ἰσχυρός κτῆνος ὅς οὐ ἀποστρέφω οὐδέ καταπτήσσω κτῆνος
ضَامِرُ الشَّاكِلَةِ، وَالتَّيْسُ، وَالْمَلِكُ الَّذِي لَا يُقَاوَمُ.
זַרְזִ֣יר מָתְנַ֣יִם אֹו־תָ֑יִשׁ וּ֝מֶ֗לֶךְ אַלְק֥וּם עִמֹּֽו׃
-
the strutting cock, the he-goat, and a king striding before his people.
-
καί ἀλέκτωρ ἐν περιπατέω θῆλυς εὔψυχος καί τράγος ἡγέομαι αἰπόλιον καί βασιλεύς δημηγορέω ἐν ἔθνος
إِنْ حَمِقْتَ بِالتَّرَفُّعِ وَإِنْ تَآمَرْتَ، فَضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَى فَمِكَ،
אִם־נָבַ֥לְתָּ בְהִתְנַשֵּׂ֑א וְאִם־זַ֝מֹּ֗ותָ יָ֣ד לְפֶֽה׃
-
If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil, put your hand on your mouth.
-
ἐάν προεἰμί σεαυτοῦ εἰς εὐφροσύνη καί ἐκτείνω ὁ χείρ σύ μετά μάχη ἀτιμάζω
لأَنَّ عَصْرَ اللَّبَنِ يُخْرِجُ جُبْنًا، وَعَصْرَ الأَنْفِ يُخْرِجُ دَمًا، وَعَصْرَ الْغَضَبِ يُخْرِجُ خِصَامًا.
כִּ֤י מִ֪יץ חָלָ֡ב יֹ֘וצִ֤יא חֶמְאָ֗ה וּֽמִיץ־אַ֭ף יֹ֣וצִיא דָ֑ם וּמִ֥יץ אַ֝פַּ֗יִם יֹ֣וצִיא רִֽיב׃ פ
-
For pressing milk produces curds, pressing the nose produces blood, and pressing anger produces strife.
-
ἀμέλγω γάλα καί εἰμί βούτυρον ἐάν δέ ἐκπιέζω μυκτήρ ἐκἔρχομαι αἷμα ἐάν δέ ἐκἔλκω λόγος ἐκἔρχομαι κρίσις καί μάχη
إصحاح 31

حماقة الشهوة والإدمان على المسكرات

كَلَامُ لَمُوئِيلَ مَلِكِ مَسَّا، عَلَّمَتْهُ إِيَّاهُ أُمُّهُ:
דִּ֭בְרֵי לְמוּאֵ֣ל מֶ֑לֶךְ מַ֝שָּׂ֗א אֲ‍ֽשֶׁר־יִסְּרַ֥תּוּ אִמֹּֽו׃
-
The Teaching of King Lemuel’s Mother The words of Lemuel, king of Massa, which his mother taught him:
-
ὁ ἐγώ λόγος εἶπον ὑπό θεός βασιλεύς χρηματισμός ὅς παιδεύω ὁ μήτηρ αὐτός
مَاذَا يَا ابْنِي؟ ثُمَّ مَاذَا يَا ابْنَ رَحِمِي؟ ثُمَّ مَاذَا يَا ابْنَ نُذُورِي؟
מַה־בְּ֭רִי וּמַֽה־בַּר־בִּטְנִ֑י וּ֝מֶה בַּר־נְדָרָֽי׃
-
What, my son? What, son of my womb? What, son of my vows?
-
τίς τέκνον τηρέω τίς ῥέω θεός πρωτογενής σύ λέγω υἱός τίς τέκνον ἐμός κοιλία τίς τέκνον ἐμός εὐχή
لَا تُعْطِ حَيْلَكَ لِلنِّسَاءِ، وَلَا طُرُقَكَ لِمُهْلِكَاتِ الْمُلُوكِ.
אַל־תִּתֵּ֣ן לַנָּשִׁ֣ים חֵילֶ֑ךָ וּ֝דְרָכֶ֗יךָ לַֽמְחֹ֥ות מְלָכִֽין׃
-
Give not your strength to women, your ways to those who destroy kings.
-
μή δίδωμι γυνή σός πλοῦτος καί ὁ σός νοῦς καί βίος εἰς ὑστεροβουλία
لَيْسَ لِلْمُلُوكِ يَا لَمُوئِيلُ، لَيْسَ لِلْمُلُوكِ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا خَمْرًا، وَلَا لِلْعُظَمَاءِ الْمُسْكِرُ.
אַ֤ל לַֽמְלָכִ֨ים ׀ לְֽמֹואֵ֗ל אַ֣ל לַֽמְלָכִ֣ים שְׁתֹו־יָ֑יִן וּ֝לְרֹוזְנִ֗ים [אֹו כ] (אֵ֣י ק) שֵׁכָֽר׃
-
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to desire strong drink;
-
μετά βουλή πᾶς ποιέω μετά βουλή οἰνοποτέω ὁ δυνάστης θυμώδης εἰμί οἶνος δέ μή πίνω
لِئَلاَّ يَشْرَبُوا وَيَنْسَوْا الْمَفْرُوضَ، وَيُغَيِّرُوا حُجَّةَ كُلِّ بَنِي الْمَذَلَّةِ.
פֶּן־יִ֭שְׁתֶּה וְיִשְׁכַּ֣ח מְחֻקָּ֑ק וִֽ֝ישַׁנֶּה דִּ֣ין כָּל־בְּנֵי־עֹֽנִי׃
-
lest they drink and forget what has been decreed, and pervert the rights of all the afflicted.
-
ἵνα μή πίνω ἐπιλανθάνω ὁ σοφία καί ὀρθός κρίνω οὐ μή δύναμαι ὁ ἀσθενής
أَعْطُوا مُسْكِرًا لِهَالِكٍ، وَخَمْرًا لِمُرِّي النَّفْسِ.
תְּנוּ־שֵׁכָ֣ר לְאֹובֵ֑ד וְ֝יַיִן לְמָ֣רֵי נָֽפֶשׁ׃
-
Give strong drink to him who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress;
-
δίδωμι μέθη ὁ ἐν λύπη καί οἶνος πίνω ὁ ἐν ὀδύνη
يَشْرَبُ وَيَنْسَى فَقْرَهُ، وَلَا يَذْكُرُ تَعَبَهُ بَعْدُ.
יִ֭שְׁתֶּה וְיִשְׁכַּ֣ח רִישֹׁ֑ו וַ֝עֲמָלֹ֗ו לֹ֣א יִזְכָּר־עֹֽוד׃
-
let them drink and forget their poverty, and remember their misery no more.
-
ἵνα ἐπιλανθάνω ὁ πενία καί ὁ πόνος μή μιμνήσκω ἔτι
اِفْتَحْ فَمَكَ لأَجْلِ الأَخْرَسِ فِي دَعْوَى كُلِّ يَتِيمٍ.
פְּתַח־פִּ֥יךָ לְאִלֵּ֑ם אֶל־דִּ֝֗ין כָּל־בְּנֵ֥י חֲלֹֽוף׃
-
Open your mouth for the dumb, for the rights of all who are left desolate.
-
ἀναοἴγω σός στόμα λόγος θεός καί κρίνω πᾶς ὑγιῶς
اِفْتَحْ فَمَكَ. اقْضِ بِالْعَدْلِ وَحَامِ عَنِ الْفَقِيرِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ.
פְּתַח־פִּ֥יךָ שְׁפָט־צֶ֑דֶק וְ֝דִ֗ין עָנִ֥י וְאֶבְיֹֽון׃ פ
-
Open your mouth, judge righteously, maintain the rights of the poor and needy.
-
ἀναοἴγω σός στόμα καί κρίνω δικαίως διακρίνω δέ πένης καί ἀσθενής

المرأة الفاضلة

اِمْرَأَةٌ فَاضِلَةٌ مَنْ يَجِدُهَا؟ لأَنَّ ثَمَنَهَا يَفُوقُ اللآلِئَ.
אֵֽשֶׁת־חַ֭יִל מִ֣י יִמְצָ֑א וְרָחֹ֖ק מִפְּנִינִ֣ים מִכְרָֽהּ׃
-
Ode to a Capable Wife A good wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.
-
γυνή ἀνδρεῖος τίς εὑρίσκω τίμιος δέ εἰμί λίθος πολυτελής ὁ τοιοῦτος
بِهَا يَثِقُ قَلْبُ زَوْجِهَا فَلَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى غَنِيمَةٍ.
בָּ֣טַח בָּ֭הּ לֵ֣ב בַּעְלָ֑הּ וְ֝שָׁלָ֗ל לֹ֣א יֶחְסָֽר׃
-
The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain.
-
θαρσέω ἐπί αὐτός ὁ καρδία ὁ ἀνήρ αὐτός ὁ τοιοῦτος καλός σκῦλον οὐ ἀπορέω
تَصْنَعُ لَهُ خَيْرًا لَا شَرًّا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهَا.
גְּמָלַ֣תְהוּ טֹ֣וב וְלֹא־רָ֑ע כֹּ֝֗ל יְמֵ֣י חַיֶּֽיה ׃
-
She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.
-
ἐνἐργέω γάρ ὁ ἀνήρ ἀγαθός πᾶς ὁ βίος
تَطْلُبُ صُوفًا وَكَتَّانًا وَتَشْتَغِلُ بِيَدَيْنِ رَاضِيَتَيْنِ.
דָּ֭רְשָׁה צֶ֣מֶר וּפִשְׁתִּ֑ים וַ֝תַּ֗עַשׂ בְּחֵ֣פֶץ כַּפֶּֽיהָ׃
-
She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands.
-
μηρύομαι ἔριον καί λίνον ποιέω εὔχρηστος ὁ χείρ αὐτός
هِيَ كَسُفُنِ التَّاجِرِ. تَجْلِبُ طَعَامَهَا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ.
הָ֭יְתָה כָּאֳנִיֹּ֣ות סֹוחֵ֑ר מִ֝מֶּרְחָ֗ק תָּבִ֥יא לַחְמָֽהּ׃
-
She is like the ships of the merchant, she brings her food from afar.
-
γίγνομαι ὡσεί ναῦς ἐνπορεύομαι μακρόθεν συνἄγω δέ οὗτος ὁ βίος
وَتَقُومُ إِذِ اللَّيْلُ بَعْدُ وَتُعْطِي أَكْلًا لأَهْلِ بَيْتِهَا وَفَرِيضَةً لِفَتَيَاتِهَا.
וַתָּ֤קָם ׀ בְּעֹ֬וד לַ֗יְלָה וַתִּתֵּ֣ן טֶ֣רֶף לְבֵיתָ֑הּ וְ֝חֹ֗ק לְנַעֲרֹתֶֽיהָ׃
-
She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and tasks for her maidens.
-
καί ἀναἵστημι ἐκ νύξ καί δίδωμι βρῶμα ὁ οἶκος καί ἔργον ὁ θεραπαίνα
تَتَأَمَّلُ حَقْلًا فَتَأْخُذُهُ، وَبِثَمَرِ يَدَيْهَا تَغْرِسُ كَرْمًا.
זָמְמָ֣ה דֶה וַתִּקָּחֵ֑הוּ מִפְּרִ֥י כַ֝פֶּ֗יהָ [נְטַע כ] (נָ֣טְעָה ק) כָּֽרֶם׃
-
She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
-
θεωρέω γεώργιον πρίαμαι ἀπό δέ καρπός χείρ αὐτός καταφυτεύω κτῆμα
تُنَطِّقُ حَقَوَيْهَا بِالْقُوَّةِ وَتُشَدِّدُ ذِرَاعَيْهَا.
חָֽגְרָ֣ה בְעֹ֣וז מָתְנֶ֑יהָ וַ֝תְּאַמֵּ֗ץ זְרֹעֹותֶֽיהָ׃
-
She girds her loins with strength and makes her arms strong.
-
ἀναζώννυμι ἰσχυρῶς ὁ ὀσφύς αὐτός ἐρείδω ὁ βραχίων αὐτός εἰς ἔργον
تَشْعُرُ أَنَّ تِجَارَتَهَا جَيِّدَةٌ. سِرَاجُهَا لَا يَنْطَفِئُ فِي اللَّيْلِ.
טָ֭עֲמָה כִּי־טֹ֣וב סַחְרָ֑הּ לֹֽא־יִכְבֶּ֖ה [בַלַּיִל כ] (בַלַּ֣יְלָה ק) נֵרָֽהּ׃
-
She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night.
-
γεύω ὅτι καλός εἰμί ὁ ἐργάζομαι καί οὐ ἀποσβέννυμι ὅλος ὁ νύξ ὁ λύχνος αὐτός
تَمُدُّ يَدَيْهَا إِلَى الْمِغْزَلِ، وَتُمْسِكُ كَفَّاهَا بِالْفَلْكَةِ.
יָ֭דֶיהָ שִׁלְּחָ֣ה בַכִּישֹׁ֑ור וְ֝כַפֶּ֗יהָ תָּ֣מְכוּ פָֽלֶךְ׃
-
She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
-
ὁ πῆχυς αὐτός ἐκτείνω ἐπί ὁ συνφέρω ὁ δέ χείρ αὐτός ἐρείδω εἰς ἄτρακτος
تَبْسُطُ كَفَّيْهَا لِلْفَقِيرِ، وَتَمُدُّ يَدَيْهَا إِلَى الْمِسْكِينِ.
כַּ֭פָּהּ פָּרְשָׂ֣ה לֶעָנִ֑י וְ֝יָדֶ֗יהָ שִׁלְּחָ֥ה לָֽאֶבְיֹֽון׃
-
She opens her hand to the poor, and reaches out her hands to the needy.
-
χείρ δέ αὐτός δια ἀναοἴγω πένης καρπός δέ ἐκτείνω πτωχός
لَا تَخْشَى عَلَى بَيْتِهَا مِنَ الثَّلْجِ، لأَنَّ كُلَّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهَا لاَبِسُونَ حُلَلًا.
לֹא־תִירָ֣א לְבֵיתָ֣הּ מִשָּׁ֑לֶג כִּ֥י כָל־בֵּ֝יתָ֗הּ לָבֻ֥שׁ שָׁנִֽים׃
-
She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet.
-
οὐ φροντίζω ὁ ἐν οἶκος ὁ ἀνήρ αὐτός ὅταν ποῦ χρονίζω πᾶς γάρ ὁ παρά αὐτός ἐνδιδύσκω
تَعْمَلُ لِنَفْسِهَا مُوَشَّيَاتٍ. لِبْسُهَا بُوصٌ وَأُرْجُوانٌ.
מַרְבַדִּ֥ים עָֽשְׂתָה־לָּ֑הּ שֵׁ֖שׁ וְאַרְגָּמָ֣ן לְבוּשָֽׁהּ׃
-
She makes herself coverings; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
-
δισσός χλαῖνα ποιέω ὁ ἀνήρ αὐτός ἐκ δέ βύσσος καί πορφύρα ἑαυτοῦ ἔνδυμα
زَوْجُهَا مَعْرُوفٌ فِي الأَبْوَابِ حِينَ يَجْلِسُ بَيْنَ مَشَايِخِ الأَرْضِ.
נֹודָ֣ע בַּשְּׁעָרִ֣ים בַּעְלָ֑הּ בְּ֝שִׁבְתֹּ֗ו עִם־זִקְנֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃
-
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
-
περίβλεπτος δέ γίγνομαι ἐν πύλη ὁ ἀνήρ αὐτός ἡνίκα ἄν καταἵζω ἐν συνέδριον μετά ὁ γέρων κατοίκος ὁ γῆ
تَصْنَعُ قُمْصَانًا وَتَبِيعُهَا، وَتَعْرِضُ مَنَاطِقَ عَلَى الْكَنْعَانِيِّ.
סָדִ֣ין עָ֭שְׂתָה וַתִּמְכֹּ֑ר וַ֝חֲגֹ֗ור נָתְנָ֥ה לַֽכְּנַעֲנִֽי׃
-
She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers girdles to the merchant.
-
σινδών ποιέω καί ἀποδίδωμι περίζωμα δέ ὁ χαναναῖος
اَلْعِزُّ وَالْبَهَاءُ لِبَاسُهَا، وَتَضْحَكُ عَلَى الزَّمَنِ الآتِي.
עֹז־וְהָדָ֥ר לְבוּשָׁ֑הּ וַ֝תִּשְׂחַ֗ק לְיֹ֣ום אַחֲרֹֽון׃
-
Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.
-
στόμα αὐτός δια ἀναοἴγω προσεχόντως καί ἐννόμως καί τάξις στέλλω ὁ γλῶσσα αὐτός
تَفْتَحُ فَمَهَا بِالْحِكْمَةِ، وَفِي لِسَانِهَا سُنَّةُ الْمَعْرُوفِ.
פִּ֭יהָ פָּתְחָ֣ה בְחָכְמָ֑ה וְתֹֽורַת־חֶ֝֗סֶד עַל־לְשֹׁונָֽהּ׃
-
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
-
ἰσχύς καί εὐπρέπεια ἐνδύω καί εὐφραίνω ἐν ἡμέρα ἔσχατος
تُرَاقِبُ طُرُقَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهَا، وَلَا تَأْكُلُ خُبْزَ الْكَسَلِ.
צֹ֭ופִיָּה הֲלִיכֹ֣ות בֵּיתָ֑הּ וְלֶ֥חֶם עַ֝צְל֗וּת לֹ֣א תֹאכֵֽל׃
-
She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness.
-
στεγνός διατριβή οἶκος αὐτός σῖτος δέ ὀκνηρός οὐ ἐσθίω
يَقُومُ أَوْلاَدُهَا وَيُطَوِّبُونَهَا. زَوْجُهَا أَيْضًا فَيَمْدَحُهَا:
קָ֣מוּ בָ֭נֶיהָ וַֽיְאַשְּׁר֑וּהָ בַּ֝עְלָ֗הּ וַֽיְהַֽלְלָֽהּ׃
-
Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
-
ὁ στόμα δέ ἀναοἴγω σοφῶς καί νομοθέσμως ὁ δέ ἐλεημοσύνη αὐτός ἀναἵστημι ὁ τέκνον αὐτός καί πλουτέω καί ὁ ἀνήρ αὐτός αἰνέω αὐτός
«بَنَاتٌ كَثِيرَاتٌ عَمِلْنَ فَضْلًا، أَمَّا أَنْتِ فَفُقْتِ عَلَيْهِنَّ جَمِيعًا».
רַבֹּ֣ות בָּ֭נֹות עָ֣שׂוּ חָ֑יִל וְ֝אַ֗תְּ עָלִ֥ית עַל־כֻּלָּֽנָה׃
-
“Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.”
-
πολύς θυγάτηρ κτάομαι πλοῦτος πολύς ποιέω δυνατός σύ δέ ὑπερκεῖμαι καί ὑπεραἴρω πᾶς
اَلْحُسْنُ غِشٌّ وَالْجَمَالُ بَاطِلٌ، أَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ الْمُتَّقِيَةُ الرَّبَّ فَهِيَ تُمْدَحُ.
שֶׁ֣קֶר הַ֭חֵן וְהֶ֣בֶל הַיֹּ֑פִי אִשָּׁ֥ה יִרְאַת־יְ֝הוָ֗ה הִ֣יא תִתְהַלָּֽל׃
-
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
-
ψευδής ἀρέσκεια καί μάταιος κάλλος γυνή γυνή γάρ συνετός εὐλογέω φόβος δέ κύριος οὗτος αἰνέω
أَعْطُوهَا مِنْ ثَمَرِ يَدَيْهَا، وَلْتَمْدَحْهَا أَعْمَالُهَا فِي الأَبْوَابِ.
תְּנוּ־לָ֭הּ מִפְּרִ֣י יָדֶ֑יהָ וִֽיהַלְל֖וּהָ בַשְּׁעָרִ֣ים מַעֲשֶֽׂיהָ׃
-
Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.
-
δίδωμι αὐτός ἀπό καρπός χείρ αὐτός καί αἰνέω ἐν πύλη ὁ ἀνήρ αὐτός
