ἐπικάλεσαι δέ, εἴ τίς σοι ὑπακούσεται,

ἢ εἲ τινα ἀγγέλων ἁγίων ὄψῃ.

καὶ γὰρ ἄφρονα ἀναιρεῖ ὀργή.

πεπλανημένον δὲ θανατοῖ ζῆλος.

ἐγὼ δὲ ἑώρακα ἄφρονας ῥίζαν βάλλοντας.

ἀλλ᾿ εὐθέως ἐβρώθη αὐτῶν ἡ δίαιτα.

πόρρω γένοιντο οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ σωτηρίας,

κολαβρισθείησαν δὲ ἐπὶ θύραις ἡσσόνων, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ

ἐξαιρούμενος.

ἃ γὰρ ἐκεῖνοι συνήγαγον, δίκαιωρι ἔδονται,

αὐτοὶ δὲ ἐκ κακῶν οὐκ ἐξαίρετοι ἔσσυται·

ἐκσιφωνισθείη αὐτῶν ἡ ἰσχύς.

οὐ γὰρ μὴ ἐξέλθῃ ἐκ τῆς γῆς κόπος,

οὐδὲ ἐξ ὀρέων ἀναβλαστήσει πόνος·

ἀλλὰ ἄνθρωπος γεννᾶται κόπῳ,

νεοσσοὶ δὲ γυπὸς τὰ ὑψηλὰ πέτονται.

οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ ἐγὼ δεηθήσομαι Κυρίου,

Κύριον δὲ τὸν πάντων δεσπότην ἐπικαλέσομαι,

τὸν ποιοῦντα μεγάλα καὶ ἀυεξιχνίὼμσπα,

ἔνδοξά τε καὶ ἐξαίσια, ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀρθμός·

τὸν διδόντα ὑετὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν,

ἀποστέλλοντα ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τὴν ὑπʼ οὐρανόν·

¹²

τὸν ποιοῦντα ταπεινοὺς εἰς ὕψος,

καὶ ἀπολωλότας ἐξεγείροντα·

διαλλάσσοντα βουλὰς πανούργων,

καὶ οὐ μὴ ποιήσουσιν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν ἀληθές.

ὁ καταλαμβάνων σοφοὺς ἐν τῇ φρονήσει.

βουλὴν δὲ πολυπλόκων ἐξέστησεν·

ἡμέρας συναντήσεται αὐτοῖς σκότος,

τὸ δέ μεσημβρινὸν ψηλαφήσαισαν ἴσα νυκτί

ἀπόλοιντο δὲ ἐν πολέμῳ,

ἀδύνατος δὲ ἐξέλθοι ἐκ χειρὸς δυνάστου·

εἴη δὲ ἀδυνάτῳ ἐλπίς,

ἀδίκου δὲ στόμα ἐμφραχθείη.

μακάριος δὲ ἄνθρωπος ὃν ἤλεγξεν ὁ κύριος·

νουθέτημα δέ Παντοκράτορος μὴ ἀπαναίνου.

αὐτὸς γὰρ ἀλγεῖν ποιεῖ καὶ πάλιν ἀποκαθίστησιν·

ἔπαισεν, καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἰάσαντο.

ἑξάκις ἐξ ἀναγκῶν σε ἐξελεῖται,

ἐν δὲ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ οὐ μὴ ἅψηταί σου κακόν.

ἐν λιμῷ ῥύσεταί σε ἐκ θανάτου,

ἐν πολέμῳ δέ ἐκ χειρὸς σιδήρου λύσει σε.

ἀπὸ μάστιγος γλώσσης σε κρύψει,

καὶ οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇς ἀπὸ κακῶν ἐρχομένων.

ἀοίκων καὶ ἀνόμων καταγελάσῃ,

ἀπὸ δὲ θηρίων ἀγρίων οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇς·

θῆρες γὰρ ἄγριοι εἰρηνεύσουσίν σοι.

εἶτα γνώσῃ ὅτι εἰρηνεύσει σου ὁ οἶκος,

ἡ δὲ δίαιτα τῆς σκηνῆς σου οὐ μὴ ἁμάρτῃ.

³⁵

γνώσῃ δὲ ὅτι πολὺ τὸ σπέρμα σου,

πὰ δὲ τέκνα σου ἔσται ὥσπερ τὸ παμβότανον τοῦ ἀγροῦ.

ἐλεύσῃ δὲ ἐν τάφῳ ὥσπερ σῖτος ὥριμος κατὰ καιρὸν θεριζόμενος,

ἣ ὥσπερ θιμονιὰ ἄλωνος καθʼ ὥραν συνκομισθεῖσα.

ἰδοὺ ταῦτα οὕτως ἐξιχνιάσαμεν,

ταῦτά ἐστιν ἃ ἀκηκόαμεν·

⁶

§σὺ δὲ γνῶθι σεαυτῷ εἵ τι ἔπραξας.

Εἰ δ’ ἄγε, νῦν δὲ κάλεσσον, ὅπως τίς σευ ὄπ’ ἀκούσῃ·

Ἀλλὰ τίν’ ἐξ ἁγίων ἐπιδερκόμενος λιτανεύσεις;

Ὄφρά σοι εἰνὶ θέμιστι συνήγορος ἄγχι παραστῇ;

Νηπυτίῳ χόλος αἰνὸς ἀεικέα πότμον ἐφῆκε,

Καὶ νέμεσις δριμεῖα χαλίφρονα φῶτα κατέκτα.

Ἠλίθιον δρυῒ καλῇ ὁμῶς θάλλοντα νόησα,

Ῥίζῃσιν μεγάλησι διηνεκέως ἀραρυίῃ·

Ἀλλ' ὁ μὲν αὐτίκ' ὄλωλε, χάρις δ' ἀπὸ πᾶσα μαράνθη,

Ἀρὴ δ' ὃν κατέμαρψε δόμον, καὶ ὄλβιος ξεινός.

Παῖδες δέ οἱ οὐ σόοι εἰσὶ, φάος δ' οὐ σφ' ἔτι πέφανται·

Τείβοντ' εἰνὶ πύλῃσι, καὶ οὐκέτι φυκτὰ πέλονται·

Οὐ γὰρ πάρα τίς ἀρωγὸς, ὃς αὐτῶν κῆρας ἀμύνῃ.

Ἐσθίεταί σφισιν ὄλβος, ὄλωλε δὲ πόνα ἔργα,

Αὐτῶν δ' ἄμητον, καὶ ἀρούρης καρπὸν ἔδουσιν,

Οὓς ποτε λιμὸς ἄνωγε, καὶ ἐκ μέσσων περ ἀκανθέων,

Ἁρπαλέως, κλέπτης δὲ δόμοις ἐν κτήματα κείρει.

Οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐκ γαίης πόνος ἔρχεται, οὐδέ ποι οἶτος

Γίγνεται ἐκ κονίης, οὐδὲ χθονὸς ἐξανατέλλει,

Οὐ μὲν ἀπὸ δρυός ἐστι παλαιφάτου, οὐδ' ἀπὸ πέτρης.

Ὥστε δ' ἀέρθησαν φλογόεντα περίπυστον πυρσοῦ,

Σπινθῆρες ῥαδινοὶ (ᾗ γὰρ κούφων θέμις ἐστί),

Ῥεῖα δὲ δ' ὕψι πέτονται, ἴδ' ἐν νεφέλῃσιν ἔμιχθεν·

Ὧς ἐπὶ τὸν κάματον γέγαε βροτὸς, ἠδ' ἐπ' ὀϊζύν·

Ὄφρ' αἰεὶ στενάχων, καὶ κήδεα μυρία πάσχων

Τλαίη, καὶ μάλα πολλὰ παθὼν, καὶ πολλὰ μογήσας

Αἰνὸν ἀναπλήσαι βιότου μόρον· ὡς γὰρ οἱ αἶσα

Τεινομόρῳ ἐπένησε λίνῳ, ὅτε μιν τέκε μήτηρ.

Εἰ δέ με τοῖον ἄχος, καὶ ἀμείλιχος ἵκετο μοῖρα,

Οἵη νῦν σ' ἐδάμασσε Θεοῦ μεγάλοιο ἕκητι,

Τόν κεν ἐγὼ λιτανεύσω, ἐφ' Ὑψίστῳ τε καλέσσω,

Εὔξασθαί τ' ἐθέλοιμι διαμπερὲς, οὐδέ τι πάμπαν

Εἴκων ἀφραδίῃς μέγα εἰπεῖν, ἀλλὰ μάλ' αὐτῷ

Μῦθον ἐπιτρέψαι· ἐπειὴ πολὺ φέρτερός ἐστιν.

Ὅς περιλαμβέα ἔργ', ἐξαίσια σήματα φαίνει,

Καὶ μάλα πόλλ' ἀκίχητ' ἀφατεῖστα θαύματα ῥέζει.

Ὑψόθεν ἐκ νεφέων καρποτρόφον ὄμβρον ἔπεμψεν·

Ὄμβρον ἐπὶ χθόνα πέμψε, καὶ ὕδατα χεῦεν ἔραζε,

Πολλάκις ὕψωσε χθαμαλοὺς, καὶ ἄεξεν ἀδήλους·

Τειρομένοις κατένευσε σόος ἔμμεν, οὐδ' ἀπολέσθαι.

Κερδαλέων σκέδασσε δόλους, ἁλίωσε τε τέχνας·

Ἔργον, ὅ, τι φρονέουσ', οὐ μὴ τετελεσμένον ἔσται.

Ἔκ τε σοφοὺς ἀπάτησε, καὶ ἀνέρας αἰολομήτας,

Τῶν δὲ δολοφραδέων σκολιὰς ἀνετρέψατο βουλάς·

Αὐτοὶ δ' σφετέρῃσι κακορραφίῃσιν ὄλοντο.

Οἳ δ' καὶ ἠμάτιοι στυγερῇ ἐνέκυρσαν ὁμίχλῃ,

Ψηλαφόωσι δ' χερσὶ μεσημβρινοὶ, ὡς ἀνὰ νύκτα.

Ἀλλ' ἐσάωσε πενιχρὸν ἀπὸ ξίφεός τε μάχης τε,

Ἐκ στόματος κρατεροῖο, καὶ ἐκ χερὸς ἀνδρὸς ἀγαυοῦ.

Ὡς ὁ μὲν ἐλπίδ' ἔχει, καὶ θαρσαλεώτερός ἐστι,

Λωφήσας ποτ' ἀτέρπου ὀϊζύος· αὐτὰρ ἀλιτροὶ

Φρασσομένης στόματος-φιν ἀκλὴν ἐγένοντο σιωπῇ.

Τρὶς μάκαρ ὅστις ἀνὴρ καὶ τετράκις, ὃν Θεὸς ἔτι,

Ἠρέμα μαστίζων γλυκυπίκροισι πληγῇσιν·

Τούνεκα μὴ ἀθέριζε φίλου μάστιγα Θεοῖο.

Αὐτὸς ἄχος καὶ ἄκος πέμπει, αὐτῇσί τε χερσὶν

Ἕλκεα λυγρὰ δίδωσι, καὶ ἤπια φάρμακα πάσσει.

Αὐτὸς δεξιτερῇ σε ῥύσεται ἑξ' ἐνὶ μόχθοις,

Οὐ μὰν οὐδ' ἄρ' ἐν ἑπτὰ κακὸν σέθεν ἐγγὺς ἵκοιτο.

Οὔτέ ποτ' ἐν πολέμῳ πεφοβήσεαι, οὔτ' ἐνὶ λιμῷ·

Τοῖσι δ' ἐν ἀμφοτέροις θάνατον καὶ πότμον ἀλύξεις,

Ἕως σ' ἐκ βελέων ὑπάγῃ Θεὸς, ἔκ τε κονίης,

Ἔκ τ' ἀνδροκτασίης, ἔκ θ' αἵματος, ἔκ τε κυδοιμοῦ.

Οὐ κά σε τις γλώσσης λιγυρῇ μάστιγι δαμάσσῃ,

Εἴσφ' ἐπεσβολέῃ φιλοκέρτομος· οὐδέ τι λίην

Ταρβήσεις ἐνὶ θυμῷ ἐπειγομένου τ' ὀλέθρου.

Ποινὴν καὶ πείνην γελάσεις σέθεν, ἔκ τ' ἀθερίστους

Λοιμήν τε λιμόν τε, καὶ οὐ κακὰ θηρία δείσεις.

Σοὶ γὰρ ἐνὶ τριόδοισι λίθοι, καὶ ἐν οὔρεσι θῆρες

Ἤπιοι ἔσσονται, φίλα τε φρεσὶ μήδε' ἔχοντες·

Ῥήτρας ποιήσουσι, καὶ ὅρκια συνθεσιάων.

Γνώσεαι εἰρήνην τε τεὴν, θαλίην δέ τε πολλὴν,

Ἧς πλήθοντα σὸν οἶκον ἐπόψεαι, οὔποτ' ἁμαρτών.

Σοὶ δ' φίλον τέκος ἔσται ἀθέσφατον ἠΰτε ποίη,

Ἦ ῥα κατ' λειμῶνα ἔφυ μεγάλ' ἤλιθα πολλή.

Ὀψὲ τάφον δύσεις, καὶ ἐν ἄκρῳ γήραϊ ὀδῷ,

Καίειθ' ἐς θάνατον, πολυήμερος· ὡς ὅτ' ἐείδῃ

Ὥρῃ ἐνὶ θερινῇ βαθὺ λήϊον ἀμήσαντες

Μήλοπα καρπὸν ἄγουσιν εὐτροχάλους ἐπ' ἀλωὰς,

Τῷδε πιεσόμεναι μέγα βεβρίθασιν ἄμαξαι·

Δράγματα μὲν σταχύων, στάχυες πλήθουσι δὲ κόκκων.

Ταῦτ' ἡμεῖς σάφα ἴδμεν, ὅπως ἔχει· ἀλλὰ σὺ πάντα

Εἰς ἀγαθὸν ξύνες ὦκα, καὶ ἐν φρεσὶ βάλλεο σῇσι.

Call now; is there any who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?

For resentment kills the foolish man, And jealousy kills the simple.

I have seen the foolish taking root, But suddenly I cursed his habitation.

His children are far from safety, They are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them,

Whose harvest the hungry eats up, And take it even out of the thorns; The snare gapes for their substance.

For affliction doesn’t come forth from the dust, Neither does trouble spring out of the ground;

But man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward.

But as for me, I would seek God, To God would I commit my cause;

Who does great things that can’t be fathomed, Marvelous things without number;

Who gives rain on the earth, And sends waters on the fields;

So that he sets up on high those who are low, Those who mourn are exalted to safety.

He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands can’t perform their enterprise.

He takes the wise in their own craftiness; The counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.

They meet with darkness in the day-time, And grope at noonday as in the night.

But he saves from the sword of their mouth, Even the needy from the hand of the mighty.

So the poor has hope, And injustice shuts her mouth.

Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

For he wounds, and binds up; He injures, and his hands make whole.

He will deliver you in six troubles; Yes, in seven there shall no evil touch you.

In famine he will redeem you from death; In war, from the power of the sword.

You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, Neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.

At destruction and famine you shall laugh, Neither shall you be afraid of the animals of the earth.

For you shall be in league with the stones of the field. The animals of the field shall be at peace with you.

You shall know that your tent is in peace. You shall visit your fold, and shall miss nothing.

You shall know also that your seed shall be great, Your offspring as the grass of the earth.

You shall come to your grave in a full age, Like a shock of grain comes in its season.

Look this, we have searched it, so it is; Hear it, and know it for your good.

[1] But come now, call out, so that someone may hear your voice. But to which of the holy ones will you turn, looking upon them, and make your plea? So that in justice an advocate may stand near you?

[2] On a fool a dread wrath sent an unseemly doom, and sharp indignation slew the light-minded man.

[3] I saw a fool flourishing like a fair oak, firmly fixed with great roots; But he perished at once, and all his grace withered away, and ruin seized his house, and the prosperous stranger too.

[4] His children are not safe, and no light shines on them any more; They are crushed in the gates, and there is no escape any more; For there is no one present to help, who might ward off their fates.

[5] Their wealth is eaten up, and their toilsome works have perished; and they eat the unharvested crop of their field, and the fruit of the soil, those whom famine once drove, even from amid thorns, greedily; and a thief ravages their possessions in their houses.

[6] For trouble does not come from the earth, nor does ruin arise from the dust, nor does it spring up from the ground; it is not from the ancient oak, nor from the rock.

[7] Just as sparks, slender (for such is the lot of the light), are kindled into a blazing, far-famed firebrand, and lightly indeed they fly on high, and are mingled in the clouds; Thus man is born for toil, and for misery; So that he should endure, ever groaning and suffering countless sorrows, and having suffered very many things and toiled much, to fill up the dread doom of his life; For as fate spun for Teinomoros with the linen thread, when his mother bore him.

[8] But if such grief, and the implacable fate, came upon me as now has subdued you by the will of the great God, then I would entreat him, and call upon the Most High, and I would wish to pray continually, nor at all yielding in folly to speak great things, but rather to entrust the whole matter to him. since he is far mightier.

[9] He who shows encompassing deeds, extraordinary signs, and very many untraceable, unseen wonders he works.

[10] From on high, out of the clouds, he sent fruit-nourishing rain; He sent rain upon the earth, and poured waters down to the ground; often he raised up the lowly, and made the obscure grow;

[11] To the afflicted he granted that they be safe, and not to perish.

[12] He scattered the snares of the crafty, and confounded their arts; A deed, whatever they devise, shall not be accomplished.

[13] He catches the wise in their own craftiness, and overturns the crooked counsels of the deceitful; And they themselves perished by their own evil devices.

[14] And they, even in the daytime, meet with hateful darkness, and grope with their hands at midday, as in the night.

[15] But he saved the poor man from the sword and from battle, from the mighty mouth, and from the hand of the proud man.

[16] So the poor man has hope, and is more confident, having once ceased from joyless misery; But the sinners became voiceless from the mouth of the one who frightens them, in silence.

[17] Thrice blessed is the man, and four times, whom God still gently chastises with bittersweet blows; Therefore do not despise the chastening of your dear God.

[18] He himself sends pain and healing; with his own hands he gives grievous wounds, and sprinkles soothing remedies.

[19] He himself will rescue you with his right hand in six troubles; indeed not even in seven shall evil come near you.

[20] Never at any time will you be frightened in war, nor in famine; But in both of these you will escape death and doom, until God draws you away from missiles, and from dust, and from slaughter of men, and from blood, and from the din of battle.

[21] No one will overpower you with the shrill whip of the tongue, until the slander-loving man attacks with abuse; nor will you greatly be terrified in your heart at the onset of destruction.

[22] You will laugh at destruction and famine, and from the untamed beasts, at plague and hunger, and you will not fear evil wild beasts.

[23] For your stones will be in the crossroads, and in the mountains the beasts will be gentle, having dear counsels in your mind. They will make agreements, and oaths of covenants.

[24] You will know your peace, and much prosperity, of which you will see your house full, never erring.

[25] Your dear child will be beyond measure, like grass that has grown in a meadow, exceedingly abundant.

[26] Late you will go down to the grave, and in extreme old age you will come to the tomb, and you will be burned toward death, full of days. As when in the summer season, having harvested the deep grain-field, they bring the tawny fruit to the well-wheeled threshing floors, and the wagons, pressed down by this, are weighed down greatly. Handfuls of ears of grain, and the ears are filled with kernels.

[27] These things we know clearly, how it stands; But do you quickly understand all this for good, and lay it up in your heart.

EIa agè, nunc invoca, ut quis tuam vocem audiat :

Verùm quemnam ex ſanctis aſpiciens orabis,

Et indignatio acerba ſtolidum virum interfecit.

At is ſtatim periit, gratia autem ejus omnis emarcuit;

Maledictio autem ejus occupavit domum, & furioſa erinnys.

Neque enim è terra labor venit, nec ærumna

Non quidem à quercu eſt antiqua, neque à petra.

Quemadmodum autem attolluntur flammeæ alæ ignis,

Scintillæ celeres, (hæc enim levium lex eſt )

Facilè autem ſurſum volant, & nubibus miſcentur :

Ità ad laborem natus eſt homo, & ad miſeriam,

Ut ſemper ingemiſcens & dolores innumeros concoquens,

Gravem compleret vitæ ſortem: ſic enim ei Parca

Naſcenti nevit filo, quando ipſum peperit mater.

Quòd ſi me talis dolor, & immite pertingeret fatum,

Quale nunc te ſubegit, Dei magni voluntate,

Huic utique ego ſupplicare, Altiſſimũmque Altiſſimumque invocare,

Precaríque vellem continuò, nec omnino

Cedens ſtultitiæ magnifica loqui, ſed ipſi

Qui ſtupenda opera, inuſitata ſigna oſtendit,

Et admodum incomprehenſibilia infinita miracula facit.

Deſuper è nubibus fruges-alentem imbrem miſit,

Imbrem in terram miſit, & aquas fudit humi.

Sæpe exaltavit humiles, & amplificavit obſcuros,

Afflictis conceſſit ſalvis eſſe, nec perire.

Vafrorum diſſipavit dolos, caſſavítque technas,

Opus, quod cogitant, neutiquam perficietur.

Sapientes decepit, & viros verſutos,

Et fraudulentorum obliqua evertit conſilia:

Ipſi autem ſuis malis-machinationibus perierunt.

Qui & et interdiu in graves impingunt tenebras,

Palpántque manibus meridie, ſicut noctu.

At ſervavit pauperem à gladióque pugnâque,

Ex ore potentis, & et ex manu viri inſolentis.

Ità hic ſpem habet, & et confidentior eſt,

Cùm requieverit demum ab ingrata ærumna : at impii

Occluſo ore muti ſunt ſilentio.

Ter felix hic vir & et quater, quem Deus vulneravit,

Leviter flagellans dulciter-amaris plagis.

Quamobrem nè contemnas amicum flagellum Dei.

Ipſe dolorem & et remedium mittit, iiſdemque manibus

Vulnera triſtia dat, & et mitia medicamina aſpergit.

Suâ dexterâ te liberabit ſex in miſeriis,

Nec ſanè in ſeptem malum tibi appropinquabit.

Nec unquam in bello timebis, nec in fame;

His autem in utriſque mortem & et exitium fugies,

Dum te extra tela ſubducat Deus, extráque pulverem,

Extrà cædem, extra ſanguinem, extráque tumultum.

Nec te quis linguæ ſtridulo flagello domabit,

Etiámſi convitietur rabula: nec valde

Expaveſces animo, ingruente licèt exitio.

Pœnam & et inediam ridebis ſalvus, ſpernéſque

Peſtémque famémque, & et malas beſtias non timebis.

Tibi enim in triviis lapides, & et in montibus feræ

Mitès erunt. amicáque in pectoribus conſilia habentes

Pacta tecum facient, & et juramenta fœderum.

Scies pacémque tuam, proſperitatémque multam,

Quâ repletam tuam domum aſpicies, haudquaquam peccans.

Tibi autem chara proles erit innumera, veluti gramen

Quod per pratum naſcitur valde copioſè multum.

Serò ſepulcrum intrabis, & et in extremo ſenectutis limine,

Maturus ad mortem, ſatur-dierum: ut quando agricolæ

Tempore æſtivo cùm profundam ſegetem meſſuerint,

Pomacei-coloris frumentum portant rotundas in areas;

Eo preſſa valde onuſta ſunt plauſtra ;

Manipuli ariſtis, ariſtæ replentur granis.

Hæc nos perſpicuè novimus, ut ſe habeant; at tu omnia

Bono tuo percipe ſtatim, & et in animo perpende tuo.
