KJV
LXX
1
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
Ὀργὴ ἀπόλλυσι καὶ φρονίμους, ἀπόκρισις δὲ ὑποπίπτουσα ἀποστρέφει θυμὸν, λόγος δὲ λυπηρὸς ἐγείρει ὀργάς.
2
The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
Γλῶσσα σοφῶν καλὰ ἐπίσταται, στόμα δὲ ἀφρόνων ἀναγγέλλει κακά.
3
The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
Ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου σκοπεύουσι κακούς τε καὶ ἀγαθούς.
4
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
Ἴασις γλώσσης δένδρον ζωῆς, ὁ δὲ συντηρῶν αὐτὴν πλησθήσεται πνεύματος.
5
A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
Ἄφρων μυκτηρίζει παιδείαν πατρὸς, ὁ δὲ φυλάσσων ἐντολὰς, πανουργότερος· ἐν πλεοναζούσῃ δικαιοσύνῃ ἰσχὺς πολλὴ, οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς ὁλόῤῥιζοι ἐκ γῆς ἀπολοῦνται.
6
In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
Οἴκοις δικαίων ἰσχὺς πολλή, καρποὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀπολοῦνται.
7
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
Χείλη σοφῶν δέδεται αἰσθήσει, καρδίαι δὲ ἀφρόνων οὐκ ἀσφαλεῖς.
8
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
Θυσίαι ἀσεβῶν βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ, εὐχαὶ δὲ κατευθυνόντων δεκταὶ παρʼ αὐτῷ.
9
The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
Βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ ὁδοὶ ἀσεβοῦς, διώκοντας δὲ δικαιοσύνην ἀγαπᾷ.
10
Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
Παιδεία ἀκάκου γνωρίζεται ὑπὸ τῶν παριόντων, οἱ δὲ μισοῦντες ἐλέγχους τελευτῶσιν αἰσχρῶς.
11
Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
Ἅδης καὶ ἀπώλεια φανερὰ παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ· πῶς οὐχὶ καὶ αἱ καρδίαι τῶν ἀνθρώπων;
12
A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
Οὐκ ἀγαπήσει ἀπαίδευτος τοὺς ἐλέγχοντας αὐτόν, μετὰ δὲ σοφῶν οὐχ ὁμιλήσει.
13
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Καρδίας εὐφραινομένης πρόσωπον θάλλει, ἐν δὲ λύπαις οὔσης σκυθρωπάζει.
14
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
Καρδία ὀρθὴ ζητεῖ αἴσθησιν, στόμα δὲ ἀπαιδεύτων γνώσεται κακά.
15
All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
Πάντα τὸν χρόνον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ τῶν κακῶν προσδέχονται κακὰ, οἱ δὲ ἀγαθοὶ ἡσυχάζουσι διαπαντός.
16
Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.
Κρεῖσσον μικρὰ μερὶς μετὰ φόβου Κυρίου, ἢ θησαυροὶ μεγάλοι μετὰ ἀφοβίας.
17
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
Κρείσσων ξενισμὸς μετὰ λαχάνων πρὸς φιλίαν καὶ χάριν, ἢ παράθεσις μόσχων μετὰ ἔχθρας.
18
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
Ἀνὴρ θυμώδης παρασκευάζει μάχας· μακρόθυμος δὲ καὶ τὴν μέλλουσαν καταπρᾳΰνει·
μακρόθυμος ἀνὴρ κατασβέσει κρίσεις, ὁ δὲ ἀσεβὴς ἐγείρει μᾶλλον.
19
The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
Ὁδοὶ ἀεργῶν ἐστρωμέναι ἀκάνθαις, αἱ δὲ τῶν ἀνδρείων τετριμμέναι.
20
A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
Υἱὸς σοφὸς εὐφραίνει πατέρα, υἱὸς δὲ ἄφρων μυκτηρίζει μητέρα αὐτοῦ.
21
Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
Ἀνοήτου τρίβοι ἐνδεεῖς φρενῶν, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος κατευθύνων πορεύεται.
22
Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
Ὑπερτίθενται λογισμοὺς οἱ μὴ τιμῶντες συνέδρια, ἐν δὲ καρδίαις βουλευομένων μένει βουλή.
23
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
Οὐ μὴ ὑπακούσει ὁ κακὸς αὐτῇ, οὐδὲ μὴ εἴπῃ καίριόν τι καὶ καλὸν τῷ κοινῷ.
24
The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
Ὁδοὶ ζωῆς διανοήματα συνετοῦ, ἵνα ἐκκλίνας ἐκ τοῦ ᾅδου σωθῇ.
25
The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
Οἴκους ὑβριστῶν κατασπᾷ Κύριος, ἐστήρισε δὲ ὅριον χήρας.
26
The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
Βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ λογισμὸς ἄδικος, ἁγνῶν δὲ ῥήσεις σεμναί.
27
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
Ἐξόλλυσιν ἑαυτὸν ὁ δωρολήπτης, ὁ δὲ μισῶν δώρων λήψεις σώζεται·
ἐλεημοσύναις καὶ πίστεσιν ἀποκαθαίρονται ἁμαρτίαι, τῷ δὲ φόβῳ Κυρίου ἐκκλίνει πᾶς ἀπὸ κακοῦ.
28
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
Καρδίαι δικαίων μελετῶσι πίστεις, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀποκρίνεται κακά·
δεκταὶ παρὰ Κυρίῳ ὁδοὶ ἀνθρώπων δικαίων, διὰ δὲ αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ φίλοι γίνονται.
29
The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Μακρὰν ἀπέχει ὁ Θεὸς ἀπὸ ἀσεβῶν, εὐχαῖς δὲ δικαίων ἐπακούει·
κρείσσων ὀλίγη λῆψις μετὰ δικαιοσύνης, ἢ πολλὰ γεννήματα μετὰ ἀδικίας.
Καρδία ἀνδρὸς λογιζέσθω δίκαια, ἵνα ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ διορθωθῇ τὰ διαβήματα αὐτοῦ.
30
The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
Θεωρῶν ὀφθαλμὸς καλὰ εὐφραίνει καρδίαν, φημη δὲ ἀγαθὴ πιαίνει ὀστᾶ.
31
The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
—
32
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
Ὃς ἀπωθεῖται παιδείαν, μισεῖ ἑαυτὸν· ὁ δὲ τηρῶν ἐλέγχους, ἀγαπᾷ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ.
33
The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
Φόβος Κυρίου παιδεία καὶ σοφία, καὶ ἀρχὴ δόξης ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτῇ.
