ΠΑΡΟΙΜΙΑΙ - Proverbi - Proverbs 18

LXX	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 προφασεις ζητει ανηρ βουλομενος χωριζεσθαι απο φιλων εν παντι δε καιρω επονειδιστος εσται	1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
2 ου χρειαν εχει σοφιας ενδεης φρενων μαλλον γαρ αγεται αφροσυνη	2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
3 οταν ελθη ασεβης εις βαθος κακων καταφρονει επερχεται δε αυτω ατιμια και ονειδος	3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
4 υδωρ βαθυ λογος εν καρδια ανδρος ποταμος δε αναπηδυει και πηγη ζωης	4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
5 θαυμασαι προσωπον ασεβους ου καλον ουδε οσιον εκκλινειν το δικαιον εν κρισει	5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
6 χειλη αφρονος αγουσιν αυτον εις κακα το δε στομα αυτου το θρασυ θανατον επικαλειται	6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7 στομα αφρονος συντριβη αυτω τα δε χειλη αυτου παγις τη ψυχη αυτου	7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 οκνηρους καταβαλλει φοβος ψυχαι δε ανδρογυνων πεινασουσιν	8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9 ο μη ιωμενος εαυτον εν τοις εργοις αυτου αδελφος εστιν του λυμαινομενου εαυτον	9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
10 εκ μεγαλωσυνης ισχυος ονομα κυριου αυτω δε προσδραμοντες δικαιοι υψουνται	10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11 υπαρξις πλουσιου ανδρος πολις οχυρα η δε δοξα αυτης μεγα επισκιαζει	11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
12 προ συντριβης υψουται καρδια ανδρος και προ δοξης ταπεινουται	12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
13 ος αποκρινεται λογον πριν ακουσαι αφροσυνη αυτω εστιν και ονειδος	13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
14 θυμον ανδρος πραυνει θεραπων φρονιμος ολιγοψυχον δε ανδρα τις υποισει	14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
15 καρδια φρονιμου κταται αισθησιν ωτα δε σοφων ζητει εννοιαν	15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16 δομα ανθρωπου εμπλατυνει αυτον και παρα δυνασταις καθιζανει αυτον	16 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17 δικαιος εαυτου κατηγορος εν πρωτολογια ως δ' αν επιβαλη ο αντιδικος ελεγχεται	17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
18 αντιλογιας παυει κληρος εν δε δυνασταις οριζει	18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
19 αδελφος υπο αδελφου βοηθουμενος ως πολις οχυρα και υψηλη ισχυει δε ωσπερ τεθεμελιωμενον βασιλειον	19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20 απο καρπων στοματος ανηρ πιμπλησιν κοιλιαν αυτου απο δε καρπων χειλεων αυτου εμπλησθησεται	20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
21 θανατος και ζωη εν χειρι γλωσσης οι δε κρατουντες αυτης εδονται τους καρπους αυτης	21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22 ος ευρεν γυναικα αγαθην ευρεν χαριτας ελαβεν δε παρα θεου ιλαροτητα [22α] ος εκβαλλει γυναικα αγαθην εκβαλλει τα αγαθα ο δε κατεχων μοιχαλιδα αφρων και ασεβης	22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
	23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
	24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
