1 Children, listen to me for I am your father: do what I tel you, and so be safe; | |
2 for the Lord honours the father above his children and upholds the rights of a mother over her sons. | |
3 Whoever respects a father expiates sins, | |
4 whoever honours a mother is like someone amassing a fortune. | |
5 Whoever respects a father will in turn be happy with children, the day he prays for help, he will be heard. | |
6 Long life comes to anyone who honours a father, whoever obeys the Lord makes a mother happy. | |
7 Such a one serves parents as wel as the Lord. | |
8 Respect your father in deed as wel as word, so that blessing may come on you from him; | |
9 since a father's blessing makes his children's house firm, while a mother's curse tears up its foundations. | |
10 Do not make a boast of disgrace overtaking your father, your father's disgrace reflects no honour onyou; | |
11 for a person's own honour derives from the respect shown to his father, and a mother held in dishonouris a reproach to her children. | |
12 My child, support your father in his old age, do not grieve him during his life. | |
13 Even if his mind should fail, show him sympathy, do not despise him in your health and strength; | |
14 for kindness to a father will not be forgotten but wil serve as reparation for your sins. | |
15 On your own day of ordeal God wil remember you: like frost in sunshine, your sins wil melt away. | |
16 Whoever deserts a father is no better than a blasphemer, and whoever distresses a mother is accursedof the Lord. | |
17 My child, be gentle in carrying out your business, and you will be better loved than a lavish giver. | |
18 The greater you are, the more humbly you should behave, and then you wil find favour with the Lord; | |
19 | |
20 for great though the power of the Lord is, he accepts the homage of the humble. | |
21 Do not try to understand things that are too difficult for you, or try to discover what is beyond yourpowers. | |
22 Concentrate on what has been assigned you, you have no need to worry over mysteries. | |
23 Do not meddle with matters that are beyond you; what you have been taught already exceeds thescope of the human mind. | |
24 For many have been misled by their own notions, wicked presumption having warped their judgement. | |
25 | |
26 A stubborn heart wil come to a bad end, and whoever dal ies with danger wil perish in it. | |
27 A stubborn heart is weighed down with troubles, the sinner heaps sin on sin. | |
28 For the disease of the proud there is no cure, since an evil growth has taken root there. | |
29 The heart of the sensible wil reflect on parables, an attentive ear is the sage's dream. | |
30 Water puts out a blazing fire, almsgiving expiates sins. | |
31 Whoever gives favours in return is mindful of the future; at the moment of falling, such a person wil findsupport. |
