| 1 | Do not set your heart on your wealth, nor say, "I have enough." | Presumptuousness. Sir.5.1-8 | Μὴ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ τοῖς χρήμασίν σου, καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς Αὐτάρκη μοί ἐστιν. | |
| 2 | Do not follow your inclination and strength, walking according to the desires of your heart. | μὴ ἐξακολούθει τῇ ψυχῇ σου καὶ τῇ ἰσχύι σου πορεύεσθαι ἐν ἐπιθυμίαις καρδίας σου· | ||
| 3 | Do not say, "Who will have power over me?" for the Lord will surely punish you. | καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς Τίς με δυναστεύσει; ὁ γὰρ κύριος ἐκδικῶν ἐκδικήσει. | ||
| 4 | Do not say, "I sinned, and what happened to me?" for the Lord is slow to anger. | μὴ εἴπῃς Ἥμαρτον, καὶ τί μοι ἐγένετο; ὁ γὰρ κύριός ἐστιν μακρόθυμος. | ||
| 5 | Do not be so confident of atonement that you add sin to sin. | περὶ ἐξιλασμοῦ μὴ ἄφοβος γίνου, προσθεῖναι ἁμαρτίαν ἐφ' ἁμαρτίαις· | ||
| 6 | Do not say, "His mercy is great, he will forgive the multitude of my sins," for both mercy and wrath are with him, and his anger rests on sinners. | καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς Ὁ οἰκτιρμὸς αὐτοῦ πολύς, τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου ἐξιλάσεται· ἔλεος γὰρ καὶ ὀργὴ παρ' αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ ἁμαρτωλοὺς καταπαύσει ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ. | ||
| 7 | Do not delay to turn to the Lord, nor postpone it from day to day; for suddenly the wrath of the Lord will go forth, and at the time of punishment you will perish. | μὴ ἀνάμενε ἐπιστρέψαι πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ μὴ ὑπερβάλλου ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας· ἐξάπινα γὰρ ἐξελεύσεται ὀργὴ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐν καιρῷ ἐκδικήσεως ἐξολῇ. | ||
| 8 | Do not depend on dishonest wealth, for it will not benefit you in the day of calamity. | Μὴ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ χρήμασιν ἀδίκοις· οὐδὲν γὰρ ὠφελήσει σε ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπαγωγῆς. | ||
| 9 | Do not winnow with every wind, nor follow every path: the double-tongued sinner does that. | Sincerity & self-control. Sir.5.9-6.4 | μὴ λίκμα ἐν παντὶ ἀνέμῳ, καὶ μὴ πορεύου ἐν πάσῃ ἀτραπῷ· οὕτως ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς ὁ δίγλωσσος. | |
| 10 | Be steadfast in your understanding, and let your speech be consistent. | ἴσθι ἐστηριγμένος ἐν συνέσει σου, καὶ εἷς ἔστω σου ὁ λόγος. | ||
| 11 | Be quick to hear, and be deliberate in answering. | Γίνου ταχὺς ἐν ἀκροάσει σου, καὶ ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ φθέγγου ἀπόκρισιν. | ||
| 12 | If you have understanding, answer your neighbour; but if not, put your hand on your mouth. | εἰ ἔστιν σοι σύνεσις, ἀποκρίθητι τῷ πλησίον· εἰ δὲ μή, ἡ χείρ σου ἔστω ἐπὶ τῷ στόματί σου. | ||
| 13 | Glory and dishonour come from speaking, and a man's tongue is his downfall. | δόξα καὶ ἀτιμία ἐν λαλιᾷ, καὶ γλῶσσα ἀνθρώπου πτῶσις αὐτῷ. | ||
| 14 | Do not be called a slanderer, and do not lie in ambush with your tongue; for shame comes to the thief, and severe condemnation to the double-tongued. | Μὴ κληθῇς ψίθυρος, καὶ τῇ γλώσσῃ σου μὴ ἐνέδρευε· ἐπὶ γὰρ τῷ κλέπτῃ ἐστὶν αἰσχύνη, καὶ κατάγνωσις πονηρὰ ἐπὶ διγλώσσου. | ||
| 15 | In great and small matters do not act amiss, | ἐν μεγάλῳ καὶ ἐν μικρῷ μὴ ἀγνόει, | ||
