Sirach 22

KING JAMES BIBLE	LXX
1 A slothful man is compared to a filthy stone, and every one will hiss him out to his disgrace.	1 λιθω ηρδαλωμενω συνεβληθη οκνηρος και πας εκσυριει επι τη ατιμια αυτου
2 A slothful man is compared to the filth of a dunghill: every man that takes it up will shake his hand.	2 βολβιτω κοπριων συνεβληθη οκνηρος πας ο αναιρουμενος αυτον εκτιναξει χειρα
3 An evilnurtured man is the dishonour of his father that begat him: and a [foolish] daughter is born to his loss.	3 αισχυνη πατρος εν γεννησει απαιδευτου θυγατηρ δε επ' ελαττωσει γινεται
4 A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but she that liveth dishonestly is her father's heaviness.	4 θυγατηρ φρονιμη κληρονομησει ανδρα αυτης και η καταισχυνουσα εις λυπην γεννησαντος
5 She that is bold dishonoureth both her father and her husband, but they both shall despise her.	5 πατερα και ανδρα καταισχυνει η θρασεια και υπο αμφοτερων ατιμασθησεται
6 A tale out of season [is as] musick in mourning: but stripes and correction of wisdom are never out of time.	6 μουσικα εν πενθει ακαιρος διηγησις μαστιγες δε και παιδεια εν παντι καιρω σοφιας
7 Whoso teacheth a fool is as one that glueth a potsherd together, and as he that waketh one from a sound sleep.	7 -
8 He that telleth a tale to a fool speaketh to one in a slumber: when he hath told his tale, he will say, What is the matter?	8 -
9 If children live honestly, and have wherewithal, they shall cover the baseness of their parents.	9 συγκολλων οστρακον ο διδασκων μωρον εξεγειρων καθευδοντα εκ βαθεος υπνου
10 But children, being haughty, through disdain and want of nurture do stain the nobility of their kindred.	10 διηγουμενος νυσταζοντι ο διηγουμενος μωρω και επι συντελεια ερει τι εστιν
11 Weep for the dead, for he hath lost the light: and weep for the fool, for he wanteth understanding: make little weeping for the dead, for he is at rest: but the life of the fool is worse than death.	11 επι νεκρω κλαυσον εξελιπεν γαρ φως και επι μωρω κλαυσον εξελιπεν γαρ συνεσιν ηδιον κλαυσον επι νεκρω οτι ανεπαυσατο του δε μωρου υπερ θανατον η ζωη πονηρα
12 Seven days do men mourn for him that is dead; but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of his life.	12 πενθος νεκρου επτα ημεραι μωρου δε και ασεβους πασαι αι ημεραι της ζωης αυτου
13 Talk not much with a fool, and go not to him that hath no understanding: beware of him, lest thou have trouble, and thou shalt never be defiled with his fooleries: depart from him, and thou shalt find rest, and never be disquieted with madness.	13 μετα αφρονος μη πληθυνης λογον και προς ασυνετον μη πορευου φυλαξαι απ' αυτου ινα μη κοπον εχης και ου μη μολυνθης εν τω εντιναγμω αυτου εκκλινον απ' αυτου και ευρησεις αναπαυσιν και ου μη ακηδιασης εν τη απονοια αυτου
14 What is heavier than lead? and what is the name thereof, but a fool?	14 υπερ μολιβον τι βαρυνθησεται και τι αυτω ονομα αλλ' η μωρος
15 Sand, and salt, and a mass of iron, is easier to bear, than a man without understanding.	15 αμμον και αλα και βωλον σιδηρου ευκοπον υπενεγκειν η ανθρωπον ασυνετον
16 As timber girt and bound together in a building cannot be loosed with shaking: so the heart that is stablished by advised counsel shall fear at no time.	16 ιμαντωσις ξυλινη ενδεδεμενη εις οικοδομην εν συσσεισμω ου διαλυθησεται ουτως καρδια εστηριγμενη επι διανοηματος βουλης εν καιρω ου δειλιασει
17 A heart settled upon a thought of understanding is as a fair plaistering on the wall of a gallery.	17 καρδια ηδρασμενη επι διανοιας συνεσεως ως κοσμος ψαμμωτος τοιχου ξυστου
18 Pales set on an high place will never stand against the wind: so a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool cannot stand against any fear.	18 χαρακες επι μετεωρου κειμενοι κατεναντι ανεμου ου μη υπομεινωσιν ουτως καρδια δειλη επι διανοηματος μωρου κατεναντι παντος φοβου ου μη υπομεινη
19 He that pricketh the eye will make tears to fall: and he that pricketh the heart maketh it to shew her knowledge.	19 ο νυσσων οφθαλμον καταξει δακρυα και νυσσων καρδιαν εκφαινει αισθησιν
20 Whoso casteth a stone at the birds frayeth them away: and he that upbraideth his friend breaketh friendship.	20 βαλλων λιθον επι πετεινα αποσοβει αυτα και ο ονειδιζων φιλον διαλυσει φιλιαν
21 Though thou drewest a sword at thy friend, yet despair not: for there may be a returning [to favour.]	21 επι φιλον εαν σπασης ρομφαιαν μη αφελπισης εστιν γαρ επανοδος
22 If thou hast opened thy mouth against thy friend, fear not; for there may be a reconciliation: except for upbraiding, or pride, or disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for for these things every friend will depart.	22 επι φιλον εαν ανοιξης στομα μη ευλαβηθης εστιν γαρ διαλλαγη πλην ονειδισμου και υπερηφανιας και μυστηριου αποκαλυψεως και πληγης δολιας εν τουτοις αποφευξεται πας φιλος
23 Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou mayest rejoice in his prosperity: abide stedfast unto him in the time of his trouble, that thou mayest be heir with him in his heritage: for a mean estate is not always to be contemned: nor the rich that is foolish to be had in admiration.	23 πιστιν κτησαι εν πτωχεια μετα του πλησιον ινα εν τοις αγαθοις αυτου ομου πλησθης εν καιρω θλιψεως διαμενε αυτω ινα εν τη κληρονομια αυτου συγκληρονομησης
24 As the vapour and smoke of a furnace goeth before the fire; so reviling before blood.	24 προ πυρος ατμις καμινου και καπνος ουτως προ αιματων λοιδοριαι
25 I will not be ashamed to defend a friend; neither will I hide myself from him.	25 φιλον σκεπασαι ουκ αισχυνθησομαι και απο προσωπου αυτου ου μη κρυβω
26 And if any evil happen unto me by him, every one that heareth it will beware of him.	26 και ει κακα μοι συμβησεται δι' αυτον πας ο ακουων φυλαξεται απ' αυτου
27 Who shall set a watch before my mouth, and a seal of wisdom upon my lips, that I fall not suddenly by them, and that my tongue destroy me not?	27 τις δωσει επι στομα μου φυλακην και επι των χειλεων μου σφραγιδα πανουργον ινα μη πεσω απ' αυτης και η γλωσσα μου απολεση με
