Φεύγει ἀσεβὴς μηδενὸς διώκοντος,

δίκαιος δὲ ὥσπερ λέων πέποιθεν.

¹³

δι᾿ ἁμαρτίας ἀσεβῶν κρίσεις ἐγείρονται,

⁴

ἀνὴρ δὲ πανοῦργος κατασβέσει αὐτάς.¶

ἀνδρεῖος ἐν ἀσεβείαις συκοφαντεῖ πτωχούς.

ὥσπερ ὑετὸς λάβρος καὶ ἀνωφελής,

οὕτως οἱ ἐγκαταλιπόντες τὸν νόμον ἐγκωμιάζουσιν ἀσέβειαν·

οἱ δὲ ἀγαπῶντες τὸν νόμον περιβάλλουσιν ἑαυτοῖς τεῖχος.

ἄνδρες κακοὶ οὐ συνήσουσιν κρίμα,

οἱ δὲ ζητοῦντες τὸν κύριον συνήσουσιν ἐν παντί.

κρείσσων πτωχὸς πορευόμενος ἐν ἀληθείᾳ πλουσίου ψευδοῦς.

φυλάσσει νόμον υἱὸς συνετός,

ὃς δὲ ποιμαίνει ἀσωτίαν ἀτιμάζει πατέρα.

ὁ πληθύνων τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτοῦ μετὰ τόκων καὶ

μῶνπλεονασ

τῷ ἐλεῶντι πτωχοὺς συνάγει αὐτόν.

ὁ ἐκκλίνων τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ μὴ εἰσακοῦσαι νόμου,

καὶ αὐτὸς τὴν προσευχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐβδέλυκται.

ὃς πλανᾷ εὐθεῖς ἐν ὁδῷ κακῇ

εἰς διαφθορὰν αὐτὸς ἐμπεσεῖται,

οἱ δὲ ἄνομοι διελεύσονται ἀγαθὰ

καὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς αὐτά.

σοφὸς παρʼ ἑαυτῷ ἀνὴρ πλούσιος,

πένης δὲ νοήμων καταγνώσεται αὐτοῦ.

διὰ βοήθειαν δικαίων πολλὴ γίνεται δόξα,

ἐν δὲ τόποις ἀσεβῶν ἁλίσκονται ἄνθρωποι.

ὁ ἐπικαλύπτων ἀσέβειαν ἑαυτοῦ οὐκ εὐοδωθήσεται,

ὁ δὲ ἐξηγούμενος ἐλέγχους ἀγαπηθήσεται.

μακάριος ἀνὴρ ὃς καταπτήσσει πάντα δι᾿ εὐλάβειαν,

ὁ δὲ σκληρὸς τὴν καρδίαν ἐμπεσεῖται κακοῖς.

λέων πεινῶν καὶ λύκος διψῶν

ὃς τυραννεῖ πτωχὸς ὢν ἔθνους πενιχροῦ.

βασιλεὺς ἐνδεὴς προσόδων μέγας συκοφάντης,

⁵⁶

ὁ δὲ μισῶν ἀδικίαν μακρὸν χρόνον ζήσεται.

ἄνδρα τὸν ἐν αἰτίᾳ φόνου ὁ ἐγγυώμενος

φυγὰς ἔσται καὶ οὐκ ἐν ἀσφαλείᾳ.

aπαίδευε υἱὸν καὶ ἀγαπήσει σε,

καὶ δώσει κόσμον τῇ σῇ ψυχῇ·

οὐ μὴ ὑπακούσῃς ἔθνει παρανόμῳ.

ὁ πορευόμενος δικαίως βεβοήθηται,

ὁ δὲ σκολιαῖς ὁδοῖς πορευόμενος ἐμπλακήσεται.

ὁ ἐργαζόμενος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γῆν πλησθήσεται ἄρτων,

ὁ δὲ διώκων σχολὴν πλησθήσεται πενίας.

ἀνὴρ ἀξιόπιστος πολλὰ εὐλογηθήσεται,

ὁ δὲ κακὸς οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται.

ὃς οὐκ αἰσχύνεται πρόσωπα δικαίων οὐκ ἀγαθός,

ὁ τοιοῦτος ψωμοῦ ἄρτου ἀποδώσεται ἄνδρα.

σπεύδει πλουτεῖν ἀνὴρ βάσκανος,

καὶ οὐκ οἶδεν ὅτι ἐλεήμων κρατήσει αὐτοῦ.

ὁ ἐλέγχων ἀνθρώπου ἱδοὺς

χάριτας ἕξει μᾶλλον τοῦ γλωσσοχαριτοῦντος.

ὃς ἀποβάλλεται πατέρα ἢ μητέρα καὶ δοκεῖ μὴ ἁμαρτάνειν,

οὗτος κοινωνός ἐστιν ἀνδρὸς ἀσεβοῦς.

ἄπιστος ἀνὴρ κρίνει εἰκῆ,

ὃς δὲ πέποιθεν ἐπὶ Κύριον ἐν ἐπιμελείᾳ ἔσται.

ὃς πέποιθεν θρασείᾳ καρδίᾳ, ὁ τοιοῦτος ἄφρων·

ὃς δὲ πορεύεται σοφίᾳ σωθήσεται.

ὃς δίδωσιν πτωχοῖς οὐκ ἐνδεηθήσεται,

ὃς δὲ ἀποστρέφει τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν πολλῇ ἀπορίᾳ

ἔσται.

ἐν τόποις ἀσεβῶν στένουσι δίκαιοι,

ἐν δὲ τῇ ἐκείνων ἀπωλείᾳ πληθυνθήσονται δίκαιοι.

Translations (1)

Proverbs Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 28 focus

The wicked flee when no one pursues; But the righteous are as bold as a lion.

In rebellion, a land has many rulers, But order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge.

A needy man who oppresses the poor Is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.

Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; But those who keep the law contend with them.

Evil men don't understand justice; But those who seek Yahweh understand it fully.

Better is the poor who walks in his integrity, Than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.

Whoever keeps the law is a wise son; But he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.

He who increases his wealth by excessive interest Gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.

He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.

Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, He will fall into his own trap; But the blameless will inherit good.

The rich man is wise in his own eyes; But the poor who has understanding sees through him.

When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

He who conceals his sins doesn't prosper, But whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

Blessed is the man who always fears; But one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.

As a roaring lion or a charging bear, So is a wicked ruler over helpless people.

A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment. One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.

A man who is tormented by life blood will be a fugitive until death; No one will support him.

Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; But one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.

One who works his land will have an abundance of food; But one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.

A faithful man is rich with blessings; But one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.

To show partiality is not good; Yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.

A stingy man hurries after riches, And doesn't know that poverty waits for him.

One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor Than one who flatters with the tongue.

Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, "It's not wrong." He is a partner with a destroyer.

One who is greedy stirs up strife; But one who trusts in Yahweh will prosper.

One who trusts in himself is a fool; But one who walks in wisdom, he is kept safe.

One who gives to the poor has no lack; But one who closes his eyes will have many curses.

When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous thrive.
