1
μὴ ἐπιθύμει τέκνων πλῆθος ἀχρήστων μηδὲ εὐφραίνου ἐπὶ υἱοῖς ἀσεβέσιν
Desire not a multitude of unprofitable children, Neither delight in ungodly sons.
2
ἐὰν πληθύνωσιν μὴ εὐφραίνου ἐπ' αὐτοῖς εἰ μή ἐστιν φόβος κυρίου μετ' αὐτῶν
If they multiply, delight not in them, Except the fear of the Lord be with them.
3
μὴ ἐμπιστεύσῃς τῇ ζωῇ αὐτῶν καὶ μὴ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος αὐτῶν κρείσσων γὰρ εἷς ἢ χίλιοι καὶ ἀποθανεῖν ἄτεκνον ἢ ἔχειν τέκνα ἀσεβῆ
Trust not you in their life, Neither rely on their condition: For one is better than a thousand; And to die childless than to have ungodly children.
4
ἀπὸ γὰρ ἑνὸς συνετοῦ συνοικισθήσεται πόλις φυλὴ δὲ ἀνόμων ἐρημωθήσεται
For from one that has understanding shall a city be peopled; But a race of wicked men shall be made desolate.
5
πολλὰ τοιαῦτα ἑόρακεν ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου καὶ ἰσχυρότερα τούτων ἀκήκοεν τὸ οὖς μου
Many such things I have seen with mine eyes; And mine ear has heard mightier things than these.
6
ἐν συναγωγῇ ἁμαρτωλῶν ἐκκαυθήσεται πῦρ καὶ ἐν ἔθνει ἀπειθεῖ ἐξεκαύθη ὀργή
In the congregation of sinners shall a fire be kindled; And in a disobedient nation wrath is kindled.
7
οὐκ ἐξιλάσατο περὶ τῶν ἀρχαίων γιγάντων οἳ ἀπέστησαν τῇ ἰσχύι αὐτῶν
He was not pacified toward the giants of old time, Who revolted in their strength.
8
οὐκ ἐφείσατο περὶ τῆς παροικίας Λωτ οὓς ἐβδελύξατο διὰ τὴν ὑπερηφανίαν αὐτῶν
He spared not those with whom Lot sojourned, Whom he abhorred for their pride.
9
οὐκ ἠλέησεν ἔθνος ἀπωλείας τοὺς ἐξηρμένους ἐν ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν
He pitied not the people of perdition, Who were taken away in their sins.
10
καὶ οὕτως ἑξακοσίας χιλιάδας πεζῶν τοὺς ἐπισυναχθέντας ἐν σκληροκαρδίᾳ αὐτῶν
And in like manner the six hundred thousand footmen, Who were gathered together in the hardness of their hearts.
11
κἂν ᾖ εἷς σκληροτράχηλος θαυμαστὸν τοῦτο εἰ ἀθῳωθήσεται ἔλεος γὰρ καὶ ὀργὴ παρ' αὐτῷ δυνάστης ἐξιλασμῶν καὶ ἐκχέων ὀργήν
Even if there be one stiff-necked person, It is marvel if he shall be unpunished: For mercy and wrath are with him; He is mighty to forgive, and he pours out wrath.
12
κατὰ τὸ πολὺ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ οὕτως καὶ πολὺς ὁ ἔλεγχος αὐτοῦ ἄνδρα κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ κρινεῖ
As his mercy is great, so is his correction also: He judges a man according to his works.
13
οὐκ ἐκφεύξεται ἐν ἁρπάγματι ἁμαρτωλός καὶ οὐ μὴ καθυστερήσει ὑπομονὴ εὐσεβοῦς
The sinner shall not escape with his plunder; And the perseverance of the godly shall not be frustrated.
14
πάσῃ ἐλεημοσύνῃ ποιήσει τόπον ἕκαστος κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει
He will make room for every work of mercy; Each man shall find according to his works.
17
μὴ εἴπῃς ὅτι ἀπὸ κυρίου κρυβήσομαι καὶ ἐξ ὕψους τίς μου μνησθήσεται ἐν λαῷ πλείονι οὐ μὴ γνωσθῶ τίς γὰρ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν ἀμετρήτῳ κτίσει
Don’t say, I shall be hidden from the Lord; And who shall remember me from on high? I shall not be known among so many people; For what is my soul in a boundless creation?
18
ἰδοὺ ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἄβυσσος καὶ γῆ ἐν τῇ ἐπισκοπῇ αὐτοῦ σαλευθήσονται
Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, The deep, and the earth, shall be moved when he shall visit.
19
ἅμα τὰ ὄρη καὶ τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς ἐν τῷ ἐπιβλέψαι εἰς αὐτὰ τρόμῳ συσσείονται
The mountains and the foundations of the earth together Are shaken with trembling, when he looks upon them.
20
καὶ ἐπ' αὐτοῖς οὐ διανοηθήσεται καρδία καὶ τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ τίς ἐνθυμηθήσεται
And no heart shall think upon these things: And who shall conceive his ways?
21
καὶ καταιγίς ἣν οὐκ ὄψεται ἄνθρωπος τὰ δὲ πλείονα τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀποκρύφοις
And there is a tempest which no man shall see; Yes, the more part of his works are hid.
22
ἔργα δικαιοσύνης τίς ἀναγγελεῖ ἢ τίς ὑπομενεῖ μακρὰν γὰρ ἡ διαθήκη
Who shall declare the works of his righteousness? Or who shall endure them? For his covenant is afar off.
23
ἐλαττούμενος καρδίᾳ διανοεῖται ταῦτα καὶ ἀνὴρ ἄφρων καὶ πλανώμενος διανοεῖται μωρά
He that is lacking in understanding thinks upon these things; And an unwise and erring man thinks follies.
24
ἄκουσόν μου τέκνον καὶ μάθε ἐπιστήμην καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν λόγων μου πρόσεχε τῇ καρδίᾳ σου
My son, hearken to me, and learn knowledge, And give heed to my words with your heart.
25
ἐκφανῶ ἐν σταθμῷ παιδείαν καὶ ἐν ἀκριβείᾳ ἀπαγγελῶ ἐπιστήμην
I will show forth instruction by weight, And declare knowledge exactly.
26
ἐν κρίσει κυρίου τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἀπ' ἀρχῆς καὶ ἀπὸ ποιήσεως αὐτῶν διέστειλεν μερίδας αὐτῶν
In the judgement of the Lord are his works from the beginning; And from the making of them he disposed the parts thereof.
27
ἐκόσμησεν εἰς αἰῶνα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς ἀρχὰς αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν οὔτε ἐπείνασαν οὔτε ἐκοπίασαν καὶ οὐκ ἐξέλιπον ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῶν
He garnished his works for ever, And the beginnings of them to their generations: They neither hunger, nor are weary, And they cease not from their works.
28
ἕκαστος τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξέθλιψεν καὶ ἕως αἰῶνος οὐκ ἀπειθήσουσιν τοῦ ῥήματος αὐτοῦ
No one thrusteth aside his neighbor; And they shall never disobey his word.
29
καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα κύριος εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐπέβλεψεν καὶ ἐνέπλησεν αὐτὴν τῶν ἀγαθῶν αὐτοῦ
After this also the Lord looked upon the earth, And filled it with his blessings.
30
ψυχῇ παντὸς ζῴου ἐκάλυψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς καὶ εἰς αὐτὴν ἡ ἀποστροφὴ αὐτῶν
All manner of living things covered the face thereof; And into it is their return.
