| 1 | If you do a kindness, know to whom you do it, and you will be thanked for your good deeds. | Ἑὰν εὖ ποιῇς, γνῶθι τίνι ποιεῖς, καὶ ἔσται χάρις τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς σου. | ||
| 2 | Do good to a godly man, and you will be repaid - if not by him, certainly by the Most High. | εὖ ποίησον εὐσεβεῖ, καὶ εὑρήσεις ἀνταπόδομα, καὶ εἰ μὴ παρ' αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ παρὰ τοῦ ὑψίστου. | ||
| 3 | No good will come to the man who persists in evil or to him who does not give alms. | οὐκ ἔσται ἀγαθὰ τῷ ἐνδελεχίζοντι εἰς κακὰ καὶ τῷ ἐλεημοσύνην μὴ χαριζομένῳ. | ||
| 4 | Give to the godly man, but do not help the sinner. | δὸς τῷ εὐσεβεῖ καὶ μὴ ἀντιλάβῃ τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ. | ||
| 5 | Do good to the humble, but do not give to the ungodly; hold back his bread, and do not give it to him, lest by means of it he subdue you; for you will receive twice as much evil for all the good which you do to him. | εὖ ποίησον ταπεινῷ καὶ μὴ δῷς ἀσεβεῖ· ἐμπόδισον τοὺς ἄρτους αὐτοῦ καὶ μὴ δῷς αὐτῷ, ἵνα μὴ ἐν αὐτοῖς σε δυναστεύσῃ· διπλάσια γὰρ κακὰ εὑρήσεις ἐν πᾶσιν ἀγαθοῖς, οἷς ἂν ποιήσῃς αὐτῷ. | ||
| 6 | For the Most High also hates sinners and will inflict punishment on the ungodly. | ὅτι καὶ ὁ ὕψιστος ἐμίσησεν ἁμαρτωλοὺς, καὶ τοῖς ἀσεβέσιν ἀποδώσει ἐκδίκησιν. | ||
| 7 | Give to the good man, but do not help the sinner. | δὸς τῷ ἀγαθῷ καὶ μὴ ἀντιλάβῃ τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ. | ||
| 8 | A friend will not be known in prosperity, nor will an enemy be hidden in adversity. | Οὐκ ἐκδικηθήσεται ἐν ἀγαθοῖς ὁ φίλος, καὶ οὐ κρυβήσεται ἐν κακοῖς ὁ ἐχθρός. | ||
| 9 | A man's enemies are grieved when he prospers, and in his adversity even his friend will separate from him. | ἐν ἀγαθοῖς ἀνδρὸς οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν λύπῃ, καὶ ἐν τοῖς κακοῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ φίλος διαχωρισθήσεται. | ||
| 10 | Never trust your enemy, for like the rusting of copper, so is his wickedness. | μὴ πιστεύσῃς τῷ ἐχθρῷ σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· ὡς γὰρ ὁ χαλκὸς ἰοῦται, οὕτως ἡ πονηρία αὐτοῦ· | ||
| 11 | Even if he humbles himself and goes about cringing, watch yourself, and be on your guard against him; and you will be to him like one who has polished a mirror, and you will know that it was not hopelessly tarnished. | καὶ ἐὰν ταπεινωθῇ καὶ πορεύηται συγκεκυφώς, ἐπίστησον τὴν ψυχήν σου καὶ φύλαξαι ἀπ' αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσῃ αὐτῷ ὡς ἐκμεμαχὼς ἔσοπτρον, καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τέλος κατίωσεν. | ||
| 12 | Do not put him next to you, lest he overthrow you and take your place; do not have him sit at your right, lest he try to take your seat of honour, and at last you will realize the truth of my words, and be stung by what I have said. | μὴ στήσῃς αὐτὸν παρὰ σεαυτῷ, μὴ ἀνατρέψας σε στῇ ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον σου· μὴ καθίσῃς αὐτὸν ἐκ δεξιῶν σου, μή ποτε ζητήσῃ τὴν καθέδραν σου, καὶ ἐπ' ἐσχάτων ἐπιγνώσῃ τοὺς λόγους μου, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ῥημάτων μου κατανυγήσῃ. | ||
| 13 | Who will pity a snake charmer bitten by a serpent, or any who go near wild beasts? | τίς ἐλεήσει ἐπαοιδὸν ὀφιόδηκτον καὶ πάντας τοὺς προσάγοντας θηρίοις; | ||
| 14 | So no one will pity a man who associates with a sinner and becomes involved in his sins. | οὕτως τὸν προσπορευόμενον ἀνδρὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ καὶ συμφυρόμενον ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ. | ||
| 15 | He will stay with you for a time, but if you falter, he will not stand by you. | ὥραν μετὰ σοῦ διαμενεῖ, καὶ ἐὰν ἐκκλίνῃς, οὐ μὴ καρτερήσῃ. | ||
| 16 | An enemy will speak sweetly with his lips, but in his mind he will plan to throw you into a pit; an enemy will weep with his eyes, but if he finds an opportunity his thirst for blood will be insatiable. | καὶ ἐν τοῖς χείλεσιν αὐτοῦ γλυκανεῖ ὁ ἐχθρὸς, καὶ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ βουλεύσεται ἀνατρέψαι σε εἰς βόθρον· ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ δακρύσει ὁ ἐχθρός, καὶ ἐὰν εὕρῃ καιρόν, οὐκ ἐμπλησθήσεται ἀφ' αἵματος. | ||
| 17 | If calamity befalls you, you will find him there ahead of you; and while pretending to help you, he will trip you by the heel; | κακὰ ἐὰν ὑπαντήσῃ σοι, εὑρήσεις αὐτὸν πρότερον ἐκεῖ σου, καὶ ὡς βοηθῶν ὑποσχάσει πτέρναν σου· | ||
| 18 | he will shake his head, and clap his hands, and whisper much, and change his expression. | τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ κινήσει καὶ ἐπικροτήσει ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ πολλὰ διαψιθυρίσει καὶ ἀλλοιώσει τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ. | ||
