1
ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐνδελεχήσει μάστιγας αὐτῷ ἵνα εὐφρανθῇ ἐπ' ἐσχάτων αὐτοῦ
He that loves his son will continue to lay stripes upon him, That he may have joy of him in the end.
2
ὁ παιδεύων τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ὀνήσεται ἐπ' αὐτῷ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον γνωρίμων ἐπ' αὐτῷ καυχήσεται
He that chastises his son shall have profit of him, And shall glory of him among his acquaintance.
3
ὁ διδάσκων τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ παραζηλώσει τὸν ἐχθρὸν καὶ ἔναντι φίλων ἐπ' αὐτῷ ἀγαλλιάσεται
He that teaches his son shall provoke his enemy to jealousy; And before friends he shall rejoice of him.
4
ἐτελεύτησεν αὐτοῦ ὁ πατήρ καὶ ὧς οὐκ ἀπέθανεν ὅμοιον γὰρ αὐτῷ κατέλιπεν μετ' αὐτόν
His father dieth, and is as though he had not died; For he has left one behind him like himself.
5
ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ εἶδεν καὶ εὐφράνθη καὶ ἐν τῇ τελευτῇ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐλυπήθη
In his life, he saw and rejoiced in him; And when he died, he sorrowed not:
6
ἐναντίον ἐχθρῶν κατέλιπεν ἔκδικον καὶ τοῖς φίλοις ἀνταποδιδόντα χάριν
He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, And one to requite kindness to his friends.
7
περιψύχων υἱὸν καταδεσμεύσει τραύματα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ πάσῃ βοῇ ταραχθήσεται σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ
He that makes too much of his son shall bind up his wounds; And his heart will be troubled at every cry.
8
ἵππος ἀδάμαστος ἐκβαίνει σκληρός καὶ υἱὸς ἀνειμένος ἐκβαίνει προαλής
An unbroken horse becomes stubborn; And a son left at large becomes headstrong.
9
τιθήνησον τέκνον καὶ ἐκθαμβήσει σε σύμπαιξον αὐτῷ καὶ λυπήσει σε
Cocker your child, and he shall make you afraid: Play with him, and he will grieve you.
10
μὴ συγγελάσῃς αὐτῷ ἵνα μὴ συνοδυνηθῇς καὶ ἐπ' ἐσχάτων γομφιάσεις τοὺς ὀδόντας σου
Laugh not with him, lest you have sorrow with him; And you shall gnash your teeth in the end.
11
μὴ δῷς αὐτῷ ἐξουσίαν ἐν νεότητι
Give him no liberty in his youth, And wink not at his follies.
12
θλάσον τὰς πλευρὰς αὐτοῦ ὡς ἔστιν νήπιος μήποτε σκληρυνθεὶς ἀπειθήσῃ σοι
Bow down his neck in his youth, And beat him on the sides while he is a child, Lest he wax stubborn, and be disobedient to you; And there shall be sorrow to your soul.
13
παίδευσον τὸν υἱόν σου καὶ ἔργασαι ἐν αὐτῷ ἵνα μὴ ἐν τῇ ἀσχημοσύνῃ αὐτοῦ προσκόψῃς
Chastise your son, and take pains with him, Lest his shameless behavior be an offence to you.
14
κρείσσων πτωχὸς ὑγιὴς καὶ ἰσχύων τῇ ἕξει ἢ πλούσιος μεμαστιγωμένος εἰς σῶμα αὐτοῦ
Better is a poor man, being sound and strong of constitution, Than a rich man that is plagued in his body.
15
ὑγίεια καὶ εὐεξία βελτίων παντὸς χρυσίου καὶ σῶμα εὔρωστον ἢ ὄλβος ἀμέτρητος
Health and a good constitution are better than all gold; And a strong body than wealth without measure.
16
οὐκ ἔστιν πλοῦτος βελτίων ὑγιείας σώματος καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν εὐφροσύνη ὑπὲρ χαρὰν καρδίας
There is no riches better than health of body; And there is no gladness above the joy of the heart.
17
κρείσσων θάνατος ὑπὲρ ζωὴν πικρὰν καὶ ἀνάπαυσις αἰῶνος ἢ ἀρρώστημα ἔμμονον
Death is better than a bitter life, And eternal rest than a continual sickness.
18
ἀγαθὰ ἐκκεχυμένα ἐπὶ στόματι κεκλεισμένῳ θέματα βρωμάτων παρακείμενα ἐπὶ τάφῳ
Good things poured out upon a mouth that is closed Are as messes of meat laid upon a grave.
19
τί συμφέρει κάρπωσις εἰδώλῳ οὔτε γὰρ ἔδεται οὔτε μὴ ὀσφρανθῇ οὕτως ὁ ἐκδιωκόμενος ὑπὸ κυρίου
What does an offering profit an idol? For neither shall it eat nor smell: So is he that is afflicted of the Lord,
20
βλέπων ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς καὶ στενάζων ὥσπερ εὐνοῦχος περιλαμβάνων παρθένον καὶ στενάζων
Seeing with his eyes and groaning, As an eunuch embracing a virgin and groaning.
21
μὴ δῷς εἰς λύπην τὴν ψυχήν σου καὶ μὴ θλίψῃς σεαυτὸν ἐν βουλῇ σου
Give not over your soul to sorrow; And afflict not yourself in your own counsel.
22
εὐφροσύνη καρδίας ζωὴ ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἀγαλλίαμα ἀνδρὸς μακροημέρευσις
Gladness of heart is the life of a man; And the joyfulness of a man is length of days.
23
ἀπάτα τὴν ψυχήν σου καὶ παρακάλει τὴν καρδίαν σου καὶ λύπην μακρὰν ἀπόστησον ἀπὸ σοῦ πολλοὺς γὰρ ἀπώλεσεν ἡ λύπη καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὠφέλεια ἐν αὐτῇ
Love your own soul, and comfort your heart: And remove sorrow far from you; For sorrow has destroyed many, And there is no profit therein.
24
ζῆλος καὶ θυμὸς ἐλαττοῦσιν ἡμέρας καὶ πρὸ καιροῦ γῆρας ἄγει μέριμνα
Envy and wrath shorten a man’s days; And care brings old age before the time.
25
λαμπρὰ καρδία καὶ ἀγαθὴ ἐπὶ ἐδέσμασιν τῶν βρωμάτων αὐτῆς ἐπιμελήσεται
A cheerful and good heart Will have a care of his meat and diet.
