1
τέκνον εἰ προσέρχῃ δουλεύειν κυρίῳ ἑτοίμασον τὴν ψυχήν σου εἰς πειρασμόν
My son, if you come to serve the Lord, Prepare your soul for temptation.
2
εὔθυνον τὴν καρδίαν σου καὶ καρτέρησον καὶ μὴ σπεύσῃς ἐν καιρῷ ἐπαγωγῆς
Set your heart aright, and constantly endure, And make not haste in time of calamity.
3
κολλήθητι αὐτῷ καὶ μὴ ἀποστῇς ἵνα αὐξηθῇς ἐπ' ἐσχάτων σου
Cleave to him, and depart not, That you may be increased at your latter end.
4
πᾶν ὃ ἐὰν ἐπαχθῇ σοι δέξαι καὶ ἐν ἀλλάγμασιν ταπεινώσεώς σου μακροθύμησον
Accept whatever is brought upon you, And be longsuffering when you passest into humiliation.
5
ὅτι ἐν πυρὶ δοκιμάζεται χρυσὸς καὶ ἄνθρωποι δεκτοὶ ἐν καμίνῳ ταπεινώσεως
For gold is tried in the fire, And acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation.
6
πίστευσον αὐτῷ καὶ ἀντιλήμψεταί σου εὔθυνον τὰς ὁδούς σου καὶ ἔλπισον ἐπ' αὐτόν
Put your trust in him, and he will help you: Order your ways aright, and set your hope on him.
7
οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον ἀναμείνατε τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ καὶ μὴ ἐκκλίνητε ἵνα μὴ πέσητε
You⌃ that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy; And turn not aside, lest you⌃ fall.
8
οἱ φοβούμενοι κύριον πιστεύσατε αὐτῷ καὶ οὐ μὴ πταίσῃ ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν
You⌃ that fear the Lord, put your trust in him; And your reward shall not fail.
9
οἱ φοβούμενοι κύριον ἐλπίσατε εἰς ἀγαθὰ καὶ εἰς εὐφροσύνην αἰῶνος καὶ ἔλεος
You⌃ that fear the Lord, hope for good things, And for eternal gladness and mercy.
10
ἐμβλέψατε εἰς ἀρχαίας γενεὰς καὶ ἴδετε τίς ἐνεπίστευσεν κυρίῳ καὶ κατῃσχύνθη ἢ τίς ἐνέμεινεν τῷ φόβῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγκατελείφθη ἢ τίς ἐπεκαλέσατο αὐτόν καὶ ὑπερεῖδεν αὐτόν
Look at the generations of old, and see: Who did ever put his trust in the Lord, and was ashamed? Or who did abide in his fear, and was forsaken? Or who did call upon him, and he despised him?
11
διότι οἰκτίρμων καὶ ἐλεήμων ὁ κύριος καὶ ἀφίησιν ἁμαρτίας καὶ σῴζει ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως
For the Lord is full of compassion and mercy; And he forgives sins, and saves in time of affliction.
12
οὐαὶ καρδίαις δειλαῖς καὶ χερσὶν παρειμέναις καὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ ἐπιβαίνοντι ἐπὶ δύο τρίβους
Woe to fearful hearts, and to faint hands, And to the sinner that goes two ways!
13
οὐαὶ καρδίᾳ παρειμένῃ ὅτι οὐ πιστεύει διὰ τοῦτο οὐ σκεπασθήσεται
Woe to the faint heart! for it believes not; Therefore shall it not be defended.
14
οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς ἀπολωλεκόσιν τὴν ὑπομονήν καὶ τί ποιήσετε ὅταν ἐπισκέπτηται ὁ κύριος
Woe to you that have lost your patience! And what will you⌃ do when the Lord shall visit you?
15
οἱ φοβούμενοι κύριον οὐκ ἀπειθήσουσιν ῥημάτων αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἀγαπῶντες αὐτὸν συντηρήσουσιν τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ
They that fear the Lord will not disobey his words; And they that love him will keep his ways.
16
οἱ φοβούμενοι κύριον ζητήσουσιν εὐδοκίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἀγαπῶντες αὐτὸν ἐμπλησθήσονται τοῦ νόμου
They that fear the Lord will seek his good pleasure; And they that love him shall be filled with the law.
17
οἱ φοβούμενοι κύριον ἑτοιμάσουσιν καρδίας αὐτῶν καὶ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ταπεινώσουσιν τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν
They that fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, And will humble their souls in his sight,
18
ἐμπεσούμεθα εἰς χεῖρας κυρίου καὶ οὐκ εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων ὡς γὰρ ἡ μεγαλωσύνη αὐτοῦ οὕτως καὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ
saying, We will fall into the hands of the Lord, And not into the hands of men: For as his majesty is, So also is his mercy.
