| 1 | Listen to me your father, O children; and act accordingly, that you may be kept in safety. | Duties to parents. Sir.3.1-16 | Ἑμοῦ τοῦ πατρὸς ἀκούσατε, τέκνα, καὶ οὕτως ποιήσατε, ἵνα σωθῆτε· | |
| 2 | For the Lord honoured the father above the children, and he confirmed the right of the mother over her sons. | ὁ γὰρ κύριος ἐδόξασεν πατέρα ἐπὶ τέκνοις, καὶ κρίσιν μητρὸς ἐστερέωσεν ἐφ' υἱοῖς. | ||
| 3 | Whoever honours his father atones for sins, | ὁ τιμῶν πατέρα ἐξιλάσκεται ἁμαρτίας, | ||
| 4 | and whoever glorifies his mother is like one who lays up treasure. | καὶ ὡς ὁ ἀποθησαυρίζων ὁ δοξάζων μητέρα αὐτοῦ. | ||
| 5 | Whoever honours his father will be gladdened by his own children, and when he prays he will be heard. | ὁ τιμῶν πατέρα εὐφρανθήσεται ὑπὸ τέκνων, καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ προσευχῆς αὐτοῦ εἰσακουσθήσεται. | ||
| 6 | Whoever glorifies his father will have long life, and whoever obeys the Lord will refresh his mother; | ὁ δοξάζων πατέρα μακροημερεύσει, καὶ ὁ εἰσακούων κυρίου ἀναπαύσει μητέρα αὐτοῦ· | ||
| 7 | he will serve his parents as his masters. | καὶ ὡς δεσπόταις δουλεύσει ἐν τοῖς γεννήσασιν αὐτόν. | ||
| 8 | Honour your father by word and deed, that a blessing from him may come upon you. | ἐν ἔργῳ καὶ λόγῳ τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου, ἵνα ἐπέλθῃ σοι εὐλογία παρ' αὐτοῦ· | ||
| 9 | For a father's blessing strengthens the houses of the children, but a mother's curse uproots their foundations. | εὐλογία γὰρ πατρὸς στηρίζει οἴκους τέκνων, κατάρα δὲ μητρὸς ἐκριζοῖ θεμέλια. | ||
| 10 | Do not glorify yourself by dishonouring your father, for your father's dishonour is no glory to you. | μὴ δοξάζου ἐν ἀτιμίᾳ πατρός σου, οὐ γάρ ἐστίν σοι δόξα πατρὸς ἀτιμία· | ||
| 11 | For a man's glory comes from honouring his father, and it is a disgrace for children not to respect their mother. | ἡ γὰρ δόξα ἀνθρώπου ἐκ τιμῆς πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὄνειδος τέκνοις μήτηρ ἐν ἀδοξίᾳ. | ||
| 12 | O son, help your father in his old age, and do not grieve him as long as he lives; | τέκνον, ἀντιλαβοῦ ἐν γήρᾳ πατρός σου, καὶ μὴ λυπήσῃς αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ· | ||
| 13 | even if he is lacking in understanding, show forbearance; in all your strength do not despise him. | κἂν ἀπολείπῃ σύνεσιν, συγγνώμην ἔχε, καὶ μὴ ἀτιμάσῃς αὐτὸν ἐν πάσῃ ἰσχύι σου. | ||
| 14 | For kindness to a father will not be forgotten, and against your sins it will be credited to you; | ἐλεημοσύνη γὰρ πατρὸς οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται, καὶ ἀντὶ ἁμαρτιῶν προσανοικοδομηθήσεταί σοι. | ||
| 15 | in the day of your affliction it will be remembered in your favour; as frost in fair weather, your sins will melt away. | ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς σου ἀναμνησθήσεταί σου· ὡς εὐδία ἐπὶ παγετῷ, οὕτως ἀναλυθήσονταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι. | ||
| 16 | Whoever forsakes his father is like a blasphemer, and whoever angers his mother is cursed by the Lord. | ὡς βλάσφημος ὁ ἐγκαταλιπὼν πατέρα, καὶ κεκατηραμένος ὑπὸ κυρίου ὁ παροργίζων μητέρα αὐτοῦ. | ||
| 17 | My son, perform your tasks in meekness; then you will be loved by those whom God accepts. | Humility. Sir.3.17-29 | Τέκνον, ἐν πραύτητι τὰ ἔργα σου διέξαγε, καὶ ὑπὸ ἀνθρώπου δεκτοῦ ἀγαπηθήσῃ. | |
| 18 | The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself; so you will find favour in the sight of the Lord. | ὅσῳ μέγας εἶ, τοσούτῳ ταπείνου σεαυτόν, καὶ ἔναντι κυρίου εὑρήσεις χάριν· | ||
| 20 | For great is the might of the Lord; he is glorified by the humble. | ὅτι μεγάλη ἡ δυναστεία τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ταπεινῶν δοξάζεται. | ||
| 21 | Seek not what is too difficult for you, nor investigate what is beyond your power. | χαλεπώτερά σου μὴ ζήτει, καὶ ἰσχυρότερά σου μὴ ἐξέταζε· | ||
| 22 | Reflect upon what has been assigned to you, for you do not need what is hidden. | ἃ προσετάγη σοι, ταῦτα διανοοῦ, οὐ γάρ ἐστίν σοι χρεία τῶν κρυπτῶν. | ||
| 23 | Do not meddle in what is beyond your tasks, for matters too great for human understanding have been shown you. | ἐν τοῖς περισσοῖς τῶν ἔργων σου μὴ περιεργάζου· πλείονα γὰρ συνέσεως ἀνθρώπων ὑπεδείχθη σοι. | ||
| 24 | For their hasty judgment has led many astray, and wrong opinion has caused their thoughts to slip. | πολλοὺς γὰρ ἐπλάνησεν ἡ ὑπόλημψις αὐτῶν, καὶ ὑπόνοια πονηρὰ ὠλίσθησεν διανοίας αὐτῶν. | ||
| 26 | A stubborn mind will be afflicted at the end, and whoever loves danger will perish by it. | καρδία σκληρὰ κακωθήσεται ἐπ' ἐσχάτων, καὶ ὁ ἀγαπῶν κίνδυνον ἐν αὐτῷ ἀπολεῖται. | ||
| 27 | A stubborn mind will be burdened by troubles, and the sinner will heap sin upon sin. | καρδία σκληρὰ βαρυνθήσεται πόνοις, καὶ ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς προσθήσει ἁμαρτίαν ἐφ' ἁμαρτίαις. | ||
| 28 | The affliction of the proud has no healing, for a plant of wickedness has taken root in him. | ἐπαγωγῇ ὑπερηφάνου οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις· φυτὸν γὰρ πονηρίας ἐρρίζωκεν ἐν αὐτῷ. | ||
| 29 | The mind of the intelligent man will ponder a parable, and an attentive ear is the wise man's desire. | καρδία συνετοῦ διανοηθήσεται παραβολήν, καὶ οὖς ἀκροατοῦ ἐπιθυμία σοφοῦ. | ||
| 30 | Water extinguishes a blazing fire: so almsgiving atones for sin. | Alms-giving. Sir.3.30-4.10 | πῦρ φλογιζόμενον ἀποσβέσει ὕδωρ, καὶ ἐλεημοσύνη ἐξιλάσεται ἁμαρτίας. | |
| 31 | Whoever requites favours gives thought to the future; at the moment of his falling he will find support. | ὁ ἀνταποδιδοὺς χάριτας μέμνηται εἰς τὰ μετὰ ταῦτα, καὶ ἐν καιρῷ πτώσεως αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει στήριγμα. | ||
