| 1 | A man of no understanding has vain and false hopes, and dreams give wings to fools. | Dreams mean nothing. Sir.34.1-8 | Κεναὶ ἐλπίδες καὶ ψευδεῖς ἀσυνέτῳ ἀνδρί, καὶ ἐνύπνια ἀναπτεροῦσιν ἄφρονας. | |
| 2 | As one who catches at a shadow and pursues the wind, so is he who gives heed to dreams. | ὡς δρασσόμενος σκιᾶς καὶ διώκων ἄνεμον, οὕτως ὁ ἐπέχων ἐνυπνίοις· | ||
| 3 | The vision of dreams is this against that, the likeness of a face confronting a face. | τοῦτο κατὰ τούτου ὅρασις ἐνυπνίων, κατέναντι προσώπου ὁμοίωμα προσώπου. | ||
| 4 | From an unclean thing what will be made clean? And from something false what will be true? | ἀπὸ ἀκαθάρτου τί καθαρισθήσεται; καὶ ἀπὸ ψευδοῦς τί ἀληθεύσει; | ||
| 5 | Divinations and omens and dreams are folly, and like a woman in travail the mind has fancies. | μαντεῖαι καὶ οἰωνισμοὶ καὶ ἐνύπνια μάταιά ἐστιν, καὶ ὡς ὠδινούσης φαντάζεται καρδία· | ||
| 6 | Unless they are sent from the Most High as a visitation, do not give your mind to them. | ἐὰν μὴ παρὰ ὑψίστου ἀποσταλῇ ἐν ἐπισκοπῇ, μὴ δῷς εἰς αὐτὰ τὴν καρδίαν σου· | ||
| 7 | For dreams have deceived many, and those who put their hope in them have failed. | πολλοὺς γὰρ ἐπλάνησεν τὰ ἐνύπνια, καὶ ἐξέπεσον ἐλπίζοντες ἐπ' αὐτοῖς. | ||
| 8 | Without such deceptions the law will be fulfilled, and wisdom is made perfect in truthful lips. | ἄνευ ψεύδους συντελεσθήσεται νόμος, καὶ σοφία στόματι πιστῷ τελείωσις. | ||
| 9 | An educated man knows many things, and one with much experience will speak with understanding. | Travel. Sir.34.9-12 | Ἀνὴρ πεπλανημένος ἔγνω πολλά, καὶ ὁ πολύπειρος ἐκδιηγήσεται σύνεσιν· | |
| 10 | He that is inexperienced knows few things, | ὃς οὐκ ἐπειράθη, ὀλίγα οἶδεν, | ||
| 11 | but he that has travelled acquires much cleverness. | ὁ δὲ πεπλανημένος πληθυνεῖ πανουργίαν. | ||
| 12 | I have seen many things in my travels, and I understand more than I can express. | πολλὰ ἑώρακα ἐν τῇ ἀποπλανήσει μου, καὶ πλείονα τῶν λόγων μου σύνεσίς μου· | ||
| 13 | I have often been in danger of death, but have escaped because of these experiences. | Fear the LORD. Sir.34.13-17 | πλεονάκις ἕως θανάτου ἐκινδύνευσα, καὶ διεσώθην τούτων χάριν. | |
| 14 | The spirit of those who fear the Lord will live, | πνεῦμα φοβουμένων Κύριον ζήσεται· | ||
| 15 | for their hope is in him who saves them. | ἡ γὰρ ἐλπὶς αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸν σῴζοντα αὐτούς. | ||
| 16 | He who fears the Lord will not be timid, nor play the coward, for he is his hope. | ὁ φοβούμενος Κύριον οὐδὲν εὐλαβηθήσεται, καὶ οὐ μὴ δειλιάσῃ, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐλπὶς αὐτοῦ. | ||
| 17 | Blessed is the soul of the man who fears the Lord! | φοβουμένου τὸν κύριον μακαρία ἡ ψυχή· | ||
| 18 | To whom does he look? And who is his support? | Offering sacrifice. Sir.34.18-35.12 | τίνι ἐπέχει; καὶ τίς αὐτοῦ στήριγμα; | |
| 19 | The eyes of the Lord are upon those who love him, a mighty protection and strong support, a shelter from the hot wind and a shade from noonday sun, a guard against stumbling and a defence against falling. | οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτόν, ὑπερασπισμὸς δυναστείας καὶ στήριγμα ἰσχύος, σκέπη ἀπὸ καύσωνος καὶ σκέπη ἀπὸ μεσημβρίας, φυλακὴ ἀπὸ προσκόμματος καὶ βοήθεια ἀπὸ πτώσεως, | ||
| 20 | He lifts up the soul and gives light to the eyes; he grants healing, life, and blessing. | ἀνυψῶν ψυχὴν καὶ φωτίζων ὀφθαλμούς, ἴασιν διδούς, ζωὴν καὶ εὐλογίαν. | ||
| 21 | If one sacrifices from what has been wrongfully obtained, the offering is blemished; | Θυσιάζων ἐξ ἀδίκου προσφορὰ μεμωμημένη, | ||
| 22 | the gifts of the lawless are not acceptable. | καὶ οὐκ εἰς εὐδοκίαν δωρήματα ἀνόμων. | ||
| 23 | The Most High is not pleased with the offerings of the ungodly; and he is not propitiated for sins by a multitude of sacrifices. | οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ὁ ὕψιστος ἐν προσφοραῖς ἀσεβῶν, οὐδὲ ἐν πλήθει θυσιῶν ἐξιλάσκεται ἁμαρτίας. | ||
| 24 | Like one who kills a son before his father's eyes is the man who offers a sacrifice from the property of the poor. | θύων υἱὸν ἔναντι τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ προσάγων θυσίαν ἐκ χρημάτων πενήτων. | ||
| 25 | The bread of the needy is the life of the poor; whoever deprives them of it is a man of blood. | ἄρτος ἐπιδεομένων ζωὴ πτωχῶν, ὁ ἀποστερῶν αὐτὴν ἄνθρωπος αἱμάτων. | ||
| 26 | To take away a neighbour's living is to murder him; | φονεύων τὸν πλησίον ὁ ἀφαιρούμενος ἐμβίωσιν, | ||
| 27 | to deprive an employee of his wages is to shed blood. | καὶ ἐκχέων αἷμα ὁ ἀποστερῶν μισθὸν μισθίου. | ||
| 28 | When one builds and another tears down, what do they gain but toil? | εἷς οἰκοδομῶν, καὶ εἷς καθαιρῶν· τί ὠφέλησαν πλεῖον ἢ κόπους; | ||
| 29 | When one prays and another curses, to whose voice will the Lord listen? | εἷς εὐχόμενος, καὶ εἷς καταρώμενος· τίνος φωνῆς εἰσακούσεται ὁ δεσπότης; | ||
| 30 | If a man washes after touching a dead body, and touches it again, what has he gained by his washing? | βαπτιζόμενος ἀπὸ νεκροῦ καὶ πάλιν ἁπτόμενος αὐτοῦ, τί ὠφέλησεν ἐν τῷ λουτρῷ αὐτοῦ; | ||
| 31 | So if a man fasts for his sins, and goes again and does the same things, who will listen to his prayer? And what has he gained by humbling himself? | οὕτως ἄνθρωπος νηστεύων ἐπὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ πάλιν πορευόμενος καὶ τὰ αὐτὰ ποιῶν· τῆς προσευχῆς αὐτοῦ τίς εἰσακούσεται; καὶ τί ὠφέλησεν ἐν τῷ ταπεινωθῆναι αὐτόν; | ||
