| 1 | Do no evil, and evil will never befall you. | Miscellaneous advice. Sir.7.1-17 | Μὴ ποίει κακά, καὶ οὐ μή σε καταλάβῃ κακόν· | |
| 2 | Stay away from wrong, and it will turn away from you. | ἀπόστηθι ἀπὸ ἀδίκου, καὶ ἐκκλινεῖ ἀπὸ σοῦ. | ||
| 3 | My son, do not sow the furrows of injustice, and you will not reap a sevenfold crop. | υἱέ, μὴ σπεῖρε ἐπ' αὔλακας ἀδικίας, καὶ οὐ μὴ θερίσῃς αὐτὰ ἑπταπλασίως. | ||
| 4 | Do not seek from the Lord the highest office, nor the seat of honour from the king. | μὴ ζήτει παρὰ κυρίου ἡγεμονίαν, μηδὲ παρὰ βασιλέως καθέδραν δόξης. | ||
| 5 | Do not assert your righteousness before the Lord, nor display your wisdom before the king. | μὴ δικαιοῦ ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ παρὰ βασιλεῖ μὴ σοφίζου. | ||
| 6 | Do not seek to become a judge, lest you be unable to remove iniquity, lest you be partial to a powerful man, and thus put a blot on your integrity. | μὴ ζήτει γενέσθαι κριτής, μὴ οὐκ ἰσχύσεις ἐξᾶραι ἀδικίας, μήποτε εὐλαβηθῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου δυνάστου, καὶ θήσεις σκάνδαλον ἐν εὐθύτητί σου. | ||
| 7 | Do not offend against the public, and do not disgrace yourself among the people. | μὴ ἁμάρτανε εἰς πλῆθος πόλεως, καὶ μὴ καταβάλῃς σεαυτὸν ἐν ὄχλῳ. | ||
| 8 | Do not commit a sin twice; even for one you will not go unpunished. | μὴ καταδεσμεύσῃς δὶς ἁμαρτίαν· ἐν γὰρ τῇ μιᾷ οὐκ ἀθῷος ἔσῃ. | ||
| 9 | Do not say, "He will consider the multitude of my gifts, and when I make an offering to the Most High God he will accept it." | μὴ εἴπῃς Τῷ πλήθει τῶν δώρων μου ἐπόψεται, καὶ ἐν τῷ προσενέγκαι με θεῷ ὑψίστῳ προσδέξεται. | ||
| 10 | Do not be fainthearted in your prayer, nor neglect to give alms. | μὴ ὀλιγοψυχήσῃς ἐν τῇ προσευχῇ σου, καὶ ἐλεημοσύνην ποιῆσαι μὴ παρίδῃς. | ||
| 11 | Do not ridicule a man who is bitter in soul, for there is One who abases and exalts. | μὴ καταγέλα ἄνθρωπον ὄντα ἐν πικρίᾳ ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ· ἔστιν γὰρ ὁ ταπεινῶν καὶ ἀνυψῶν. | ||
| 12 | Do not devise a lie against your brother, nor do the like to a friend. | μὴ ἀροτρία ψεῦδος ἐπ' ἀδελφῷ σου, μηδὲ φίλῳ τὸ ὅμοιον ποίει. | ||
| 13 | Refuse to utter any lie, for the habit of lying serves no good. | μὴ θέλε ψεύδεσθαι πᾶν ψεῦδος· ὁ γὰρ ἐνδελεχισμὸς αὐτοῦ οὐκ εἰς ἀγαθόν. | ||
| 14 | Do not prattle in the assembly of the elders, nor repeat yourself in your prayer. | μὴ ἀδολέσχει ἐν πλήθει πρεσβυτέρων, καὶ μὴ δευτερώσῃς λόγον ἐν προσευχῇ σου. | ||
| 15 | Do not hate toilsome labour, or farm work, which were created by the Most High. | μὴ μισήσῃς ἐπίπονον ἐργασίαν καὶ γεωργίαν ὑπὸ ὑψίστου ἐκτισμένην. | ||
| 16 | Do not count yourself among the crowd of sinners; remember that wrath does not delay. | μὴ προσλογίζου σεαυτὸν ἐν πλήθει ἁμαρτωλῶν· μνήσθητι ὅτι ὀργὴ οὐ χρονιεῖ. | ||
| 17 | Humble yourself greatly, for the punishment of the ungodly is fire and worms. | ταπείνωσον σφόδρα τὴν ψυχήν σου, ὅτι ἐκδίκησις ἀσεβοῦς πῦρ καὶ σκώληξ. | ||
| 18 | Do not exchange a friend for money, or a real brother for the gold of Ophir. | Relations with others. Sir.7.18-36 | Μὴ ἀλλάξῃς φίλον ἕνεκεν διαφόρου, μηδὲ ἀδελφὸν γνήσιον ἐν χρυσίῳ Σουφιρ. | |
| 19 | Do not deprive yourself of a wise and good wife, for her charm is worth more than gold. | μὴ ἀστόχει γυναικὸς σοφῆς καὶ ἀγαθῆς· ἡ γὰρ χάρις αὐτῆς ὑπὲρ τὸ χρυσίον. | ||
| 20 | Do not abuse a servant who performs his work faithfully, or a hired labourer who devotes himself to you. | μὴ κακώσῃς οἰκέτην ἐργαζόμενον ἐν ἀληθείᾳ, μηδὲ μίσθιον διδόντα τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ· | ||
| 21 | Let your soul love an intelligent servant; do not withhold from him his freedom. | οἰκέτην συνετὸν ἀγαπάτω σου ἡ ψυχή, μὴ στερήσῃς αὐτὸν ἐλευθερίας. | ||
| 22 | Do you have cattle? Look after them; if they are profitable to you, keep them. | κτήνη σοί ἐστιν; ἐπισκέπτου αὐτά· καὶ εἰ ἔστιν σοι χρήσιμα, ἐμμενέτω σοι. | ||
| 23 | Do you have children? Discipline them, and make them obedient from their youth. | τέκνα σοί ἐστιν; παίδευσον αὐτὰ, καὶ κάμψον ἐκ νεότητος τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν. | ||
| 24 | Do you have daughters? Be concerned for their chastity, and do not show yourself too indulgent with them. | θυγατέρες σοί εἰσιν; πρόσεχε τῷ σώματι αὐτῶν, καὶ μὴ ἱλαρώσῃς πρὸς αὐτὰς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου. | ||
| 25 | Give a daughter in marriage; you will have finished a great task. But give her to a man of understanding. | ἔκδου θυγατέρα, καὶ ἔσῃ τετελεκὼς ἔργον μέγα, καὶ ἀνδρὶ συνετῷ δώρησαι αὐτήν. | ||
| 26 | If you have a wife who pleases you, do not cast her out; but do not trust yourself to one whom you detest. | γυνή σοί ἐστιν κατὰ ψυχήν; μὴ ἐκβάλῃς αὐτήν· καὶ μισουμένῃ μὴ ἐμπιστεύσῃς σεαυτόν. | ||
| 27 | With all your heart honour your father, and do not forget the birth pangs of your mother. | Ἑν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ σου δόξασον τὸν πατέρα σου, καὶ μητρὸς ὠδῖνας μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ· | ||
| 28 | Remember that through your parents you were born; and what can you give back to them that equals their gift to you? | μνήσθητι ὅτι δι' αὐτῶν ἐγεννήθης, καὶ τί ἀνταποδώσεις αὐτοῖς καθὼς αὐτοὶ σοί; | ||
| 29 | With all your soul fear the Lord, and honour his priests. | ἐν ὅλῃ ψυχῇ σου εὐλαβοῦ τὸν κύριον, καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ θαύμαζε. | ||
| 30 | With all your might love your Maker, and do not forsake his ministers. | ἐν ὅλῃ δυνάμει ἀγάπησον τὸν ποιήσαντά σε, καὶ τοὺς λειτουργοὺς αὐτοῦ μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς. | ||
| 31 | Fear the Lord and honour the priest, and give him his portion, as is commanded you: the first fruits, the guilt offering, the gift of the shoulders, the sacrifice of sanctification, and the first fruits of the holy things. | φοβοῦ τὸν κύριον καὶ δόξασον ἱερέα, καὶ δὸς τὴν μερίδα αὐτῷ, καθὼς ἐντέταλταί σοι, ἀπ' αρχῆς, καὶ περὶ πλημμελείας καὶ δόσιν βραχιόνων καὶ θυσίαν ἁγιασμοῦ καὶ ἀπαρχὴν ἁγίων. | ||
| 32 | Stretch forth your hand to the poor, so that your blessing may be complete. | Καὶ πτωχῷ ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρά σου, ἵνα τελειωθῇ ἡ εὐλογία σου. | ||
| 33 | Give graciously to all the living, and withhold not kindness from the dead. | χάρις δόματος ἔναντι παντὸς ζῶντος, καὶ ἐπὶ νεκρῷ μὴ ἀποκωλύσῃς χάριν. | ||
| 34 | Do not fail those who weep, but mourn with those who mourn. | μὴ ὑστέρει ἀπὸ κλαιόντων, καὶ μετὰ πενθούντων πένθησον. | ||
| 35 | Do not shrink from visiting a sick man, because for such deeds you will be loved. | μὴ ὄκνει ἐπισκέπτεσθαι ἄρρωστον ἄνθρωπον· ἐκ γὰρ τῶν τοιούτων ἀγαπηθήσῃ. | ||
| 36 | In all you do, remember the end of your life, and then you will never sin. | ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς λόγοις σου μιμνῄσκου τὰ ἔσχατά σου, καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα οὐχ ἁμαρτήσεις. | ||
