Proverbs 13
1 A wise sonne will obey the instruction of his father: but a scorner will heare no rebuke.
υἱὸς πανοῦργος ὑπήκοος πατρί υἱὸς δὲ ἀνήκοος ἐν ἀπωλείᾳ
2 A man shall eate good things by the fruite of his mouth: but the soule of the trespassers shall suffer violence.
ἀπὸ καρπῶν δικαιοσύνης φάγεται ἀγαθός ψυχαὶ δὲ παρανόμων ὀλοῦνται ἄωροι
3 Hee that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life: but he that openeth his lips, destruction shall be to him.
ὃς φυλάσσει τὸ ἑαυτοῦ στόμα τηρεῖ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν ὁ δὲ προπετὴς χείλεσιν πτοήσει ἑαυτόν
4 The sluggard lusteth, but his soule hath nought: but the soule of the diligent shall haue plentie.
ἐν ἐπιθυμίαις ἐστὶν πᾶς ἀεργός χεῖρες δὲ ἀνδρείων ἐν ἐπιμελείᾳ
5 A righteous man hateth lying wordes: but the wicked causeth slander and shame.
λόγον ἄδικον μισεῖ δίκαιος ἀσεβὴς δὲ αἰσχύνεται καὶ οὐχ ἕξει παρρησίαν
6 Righteousnesse preserueth the vpright of life: but wickednes ouerthroweth the sinner.
δικαιοσύνη φυλάσσει ἀκάκους τοὺς δὲ ἀσεβεῖς φαύλους ποιεῖ ἁμαρτία
7 There is that maketh himselfe riche, and hath nothing, and that maketh himselfe poore, hauing great riches.
εἰσὶν οἱ πλουτίζοντες ἑαυτοὺς μηδὲν ἔχοντες καὶ εἰσὶν οἱ ταπεινοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ἐν πολλῷ πλούτῳ
8 A man will giue his riches for the ransome of his life: but the poore cannot heare ye reproch.
λύτρον ἀνδρὸς ψυχῆς ὁ ἴδιος πλοῦτος πτωχὸς δὲ οὐχ ὑφίσταται ἀπειλήν
9 The light of the righteous reioyceth: but the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
φῶς δικαίοις διὰ παντός φῶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν σβέννυται ψυχαὶ δόλιαι πλανῶνται ἐν ἁμαρτίαις δίκαιοι δὲ οἰκτίρουσιν καὶ ἐλεῶσιν
10 Onely by pride doeth man make contention: but with the well aduised is wisdome.
κακὸς μεθ’ ὕβρεως πράσσει κακά οἱ δὲ ἑαυτῶν ἐπιγνώμονες σοφοί
11 The riches of vanitie shall diminish: but he that gathereth with the hand, shall increase them.
ὕπαρξις ἐπισπουδαζομένη μετὰ ἀνομίας ἐλάσσων γίνεται ὁ δὲ συνάγων ἑαυτῷ μετ’ εὐσεβείας πληθυνθήσεται δίκαιος οἰκτίρει καὶ κιχρᾷ
12 The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart: but when the desire commeth, it is as a tree of life.
κρείσσων ἐναρχόμενος βοηθῶν καρδίᾳ τοῦ ἐπαγγελλομένου καὶ εἰς ἐλπίδα ἄγοντος δένδρον γὰρ ζωῆς ἐπιθυμία ἀγαθή
13 He that despiseth the worde, hee shall be destroyed: but hee that feareth the commandement he shalbe rewarded.
ὃς καταφρονεῖ πράγματος καταφρονηθήσεται ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ ὁ δὲ φοβούμενος ἐντολήν οὗτος ὑγιαίνει υἱῷ δολίῳ οὐδὲν ἔσται ἀγαθόν οἰκέτῃ δὲ σοφῷ εὔοδοι ἔσονται πράξεις καὶ κατευθυνθήσεται ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ
14 The instruction of a wise man is as the welspring of life, to turne away from the snares of death.
νόμος σοφοῦ πηγὴ ζωῆς ὁ δὲ ἄνους ὑπὸ παγίδος θανεῖται
15 Good vnderstanding maketh acceptable: but the way of the disobedient is hated.
σύνεσις ἀγαθὴ δίδωσιν χάριν τὸ δὲ γνῶναι νόμον διανοίας ἐστὶν ἀγαθῆς ὁδοὶ δὲ καταφρονούντων ἐν ἀπωλείᾳ
16 Euery wise man will worke by knowledge: but a foole will spread abroade folly.
πᾶς πανοῦργος πράσσει μετὰ γνώσεως ὁ δὲ ἄφρων ἐξεπέτασεν ἑαυτοῦ κακίαν
17 A wicked messenger falleth into euill: but a faithfull ambassadour is preseruation.
βασιλεὺς θρασὺς ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς κακά ἄγγελος δὲ πιστὸς ῥύσεται αὐτόν
18 Pouertie and shame is to him that refuseth instruction: but hee that regardeth correction, shalbe honoured.
πενίαν καὶ ἀτιμίαν ἀφαιρεῖται παιδεία ὁ δὲ φυλάσσων ἐλέγχους δοξασθήσεται
19 A desire accomplished deliteth ye soule: but it is an abomination to fooles to depart from euil.
ἐπιθυμίαι εὐσεβῶν ἡδύνουσιν ψυχήν ἔργα δὲ ἀσεβῶν μακρὰν ἀπὸ γνώσεως
20 He that walketh with the wise, shalbe wise: but a companion of fooles shalbe afflicted.
ὁ συμπορευόμενος σοφοῖς σοφὸς ἔσται ὁ δὲ συμπορευόμενος ἄφροσι γνωσθήσεται
21 Affliction followeth sinners: but vnto the righteous God will recompense good.
ἁμαρτάνοντας καταδιώξεται κακά τοὺς δὲ δικαίους καταλήμψεται ἀγαθά
22 The good man shall giue inheritance vnto his childrens children: and the riches of the sinner is layde vp for the iust.
ἀγαθὸς ἀνὴρ κληρονομήσει υἱοὺς υἱῶν θησαυρίζεται δὲ δικαίοις πλοῦτος ἀσεβὼν
23 Much foode is in the fielde of the poore: but the fielde is destroyed without discretion.
δίκαιοι ποιήσουσιν ἐν πλούτῳ ἔτη πολλά ἄδικοι δὲ ἀπολοῦνται συντόμως
24 He that spareth his rodde, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betime.
ὃς φείδεται τῆς βακτηρίας μισεῖ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ὁ δὲ ἀγαπῶν ἐπιμελῶς παιδεύει
25 The righteous eateth to the contentation of his minde: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
δίκαιος ἔσθων ἐμπιπλᾷ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ψυχαὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἐνδεεῖς
