| 1 | Do not contend with a powerful man, lest you fall into his hands. | Common sense. Sir.8.1-19 | Μὴ διαμάχου μετὰ ἀνθρώπου δυνάστου, μή ποτε ἐμπέσῃς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ. | |
| 2 | Do not quarrel with a rich man, lest his resources outweigh yours; for gold has ruined many, and has perverted the minds of kings. | μὴ ἔριζε μετὰ ἀνθρώπου πλουσίου, μή ποτε ἀντιστήσῃ σου τὴν ὁλκήν· πολλοὺς γὰρ ἀπώλεσεν τὸ χρυσίον, καὶ καρδίας βασιλέων ἐξέκλινεν. | ||
| 3 | Do not argue with a chatterer, nor heap wood on his fire. | μὴ διαμάχου μετὰ ἀνθρώπου γλωσσώδους, καὶ μὴ ἐπιστοιβάσῃς ἐπὶ τὸ πῦρ αὐτοῦ ξύλα. | ||
| 4 | Do not jest with an ill-bred person, lest your ancestors be disgraced. | μὴ πρόσπαιζε ἀπαιδεύτῳ, ἵνα μὴ ἀτιμάζωνται οἱ πρόγονοί σου. | ||
| 5 | Do not reproach a man who is turning away from sin; remember that we all deserve punishment. | μὴ ὀνείδιζε ἄνθρωπον ἀποστρέφοντα ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας· μνήσθητι ὅτι πάντες ἐσμὲν ἐν ἐπιτίμοις. | ||
| 6 | Do not disdain a man when he is old, for some of us are growing old. | μὴ ἀτιμάσῃς ἄνθρωπον ἐν γήρᾳ αὐτοῦ· καὶ γὰρ ἐξ ἡμῶν γηράσκουσιν. | ||
| 7 | Do not rejoice over any one's death; remember that we all must die. | μὴ ἐπίχαιρε ἐπὶ νεκρῷ· μνήσθητι ὅτι πάντες τελευτῶμεν. | ||
| 8 | Do not slight the discourse of the sages, but busy yourself with their maxims; because from them you will gain instruction and learn how to serve great men. | μὴ παρίδῃς διήγημα σοφῶν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς παροιμίαις αὐτῶν ἀναστρέφου· ὅτι παρ' αὐτῶν μαθήσῃ παιδείαν, καὶ λειτουργῆσαι μεγιστᾶσιν. | ||
| 9 | Do not disregard the discourse of the aged, for they themselves learned from their fathers; because from them you will gain understanding and learn how to give an answer in time of need. | μὴ ἀστόχει διηγήματος γερόντων, καὶ γὰρ αὐτοὶ ἔμαθον παρὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν· ὅτι παρ' αὐτῶν μαθήσῃ σύνεσιν, καὶ ἐν καιρῷ χρείας δοῦναι ἀπόκρισιν. | ||
| 10 | Do not kindle the coals of a sinner, lest you be burned in his flaming fire. | μὴ ἔκκαιε ἄνθρακας ἁμαρτωλοῦ, μὴ ἐμπυρισθῇς ἐν πυρὶ φλογὸς αὐτοῦ. | ||
| 11 | Do not get up and leave an insolent fellow, lest he lie in ambush against your words. | μὴ ἐξαναστῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑβριστοῦ, ἵνα μὴ ἐγκαθίσῃ ὡς ἔνεδρον τῷ στόματί σου. | ||
| 12 | Do not lend to a man who is stronger than you; but if you do lend anything, be as one who has lost it. | μὴ δανείσῃς ἀνθρώπῳ ἰσχυροτέρῳ σου· καὶ ἐὰν δανείσῃς, ὡς ἀπολωλεκὼς γίνου. | ||
| 13 | Do not give surety beyond your means, but if you give surety, be concerned as one who must pay. | μὴ ἐγγυήσῃ ὑπὲρ δύναμίν σου· καὶ ἐὰν ἐγγυήσῃ, ὡς ἀποτείσων φρόντιζε. | ||
| 14 | Do not go to law against a judge, for the decision will favour him because of his standing. | μὴ δικάζου μετὰ κριτοῦ· κατὰ γὰρ τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ κρινοῦσιν αὐτῷ. | ||
| 15 | Do not travel on the road with a foolhardy fellow, lest he be burdensome to you; for he will act as he pleases, and through his folly you will perish with him. | μετὰ τολμηροῦ μὴ πορεύου ἐν ὁδῷ, ἵνα μὴ βαρύνηται κατὰ σοῦ· αὐτὸς γὰρ κατὰ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ποιήσει, καὶ τῇ ἀφροσύνῃ αὐτοῦ συναπολῇ. | ||
| 16 | Do not fight with a wrathful man, and do not cross the wilderness with him; because blood is as nothing in his sight, and where no help is at hand, he will strike you down. | μετὰ θυμώδους μὴ ποιήσῃς μάχην, καὶ μὴ διαπορεύου μετ' αὐτοῦ τὴν ἔρημον· ὅτι ὡς οὐδὲν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ αἷμα, καὶ ὅπου οὐκ ἔστιν βοήθεια, καταβαλεῖ σε. | ||
| 17 | Do not consult with a fool, for he will not be able to keep a secret. | μετὰ μωροῦ μὴ συμβουλεύου· οὐ γὰρ δυνήσεται λόγον στέξαι. | ||
| 18 | In the presence of a stranger do nothing that is to be kept secret, for you do not know what he will divulge. | ἐνώπιον ἀλλοτρίου μὴ ποιήσῃς κρυπτόν· οὐ γὰρ γινώσκεις τί τέξεται. | ||
| 19 | Do not reveal your thoughts to every one, lest you drive away your good luck. | παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ μὴ ἔκφαινε σὴν καρδίαν, καὶ μὴ ἀναφερέτω σοι χάριν. | ||
