GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Υιε μου, μη λησμονης τους νομους μου, και η καρδια σου ας φυλαττη τας εντολας μου.	1 My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart guard my precepts.
2 Διοτι μακροτητα ημερων και ετη ζωης και ειρηνην θελουσι προσθεσει εις σε.	2 For they shall set before you length of days, and years of life, and peace.
3 Ελεος και αληθεια ας μη σε εγκαταλιπωσι? δεσον αυτας περι τον τραχηλον σου? εγχαραξον αυτας επι την πλακα της καρδιας σου?	3 Let not mercy and truth abandon you: encircle them around your throat, and inscribe them on the tablets of your heart.
4 ουτω θελεις ευρει χαριν και ευνοιαν ενωπιον Θεου και ανθρωπων.	4 And so shall you discover grace and good discipline, in the sight of God and men.
5 Ελπιζε επι Κυριον εξ ολης σου της καρδιας, και μη επιστηριζεσαι εις την συνεσιν σου?	5 Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence.
6 εν πασαις ταις οδοις σου αυτον γνωριζε, και αυτος θελει διευθυνει τα διαβηματα σου.	6 In all your ways, consider him, and he himself will direct your steps.
7 Μη φανταζεσαι σεαυτον σοφον? φοβου τον Κυριον και εκκλινον απο κακου.	7 Do not seem wise to yourself. Fear God, and withdraw from evil.
8 Τουτο θελει εισθαι ιασις εις τα νευρα σου και μυελωσις εις τα οστα σου.	8 Certainly, it shall be health to your navel, and refreshment to your bones.
9 Τιμα τον Κυριον απο των υπαρχοντων σου και απο των απαρχων παντων των γεννηματων σου?	9 Honor the Lord with your substance, and give to him from the first of all your fruits,
10 και θελουσιν εμπλησθη αι σιτοθηκαι σου απο αφθονιας και οι ληνοι σου θελουσιν εκχειλιζει απο νεου οινου.	10 and then your storehouses will be filled with abundance, and your presses shall overflow with wine.
11 Υιε μου, μη καταφρονει την παιδειαν του Κυριου και μη αθυμει ελεγχομενος υπ' αυτου.	11 My son, do not discard the discipline of the Lord, and do not fall away when you are corrected by him.
12 Διοτι ο Κυριος ελεγχει οντινα αγαπα, καθως και ο πατηρ τον υιον, εις τον οποιον ευαρεστειται.	12 For whomever the Lord loves, he corrects, and just as a father does with a son, he wins him over.
13 Μακαριος ο ανθρωπος, οστις ευρηκε σοφιαν, και ο ανθρωπος, οστις απεκτησε συνεσιν?	13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom and who advances to prudence.
14 Διοτι το εμποριον αυτης ειναι καλητερον παρα το εμποριον του αργυριου και το κερδος αυτης παρα χρυσιον καθαρον.	14 Her acquisition is better than trading in silver, and her fruit is better than the first and purest gold.
15 Ειναι τιμιωτερα πολυτιμων λιθων? και παντα οσα επιθυμησης δεν ειναι ανταξια αυτης.	15 She is more precious than all riches, and all that can be desired cannot prevail in comparison to her.
16 Μακροτης ημερων ειναι εν τη δεξια αυτης? εν τη αριστερα αυτης, πλουτος και δοξα.	16 Length of days is at her right hand, and at her left hand is wealth and glory.
17 Αι οδοι αυτης ειναι οδοι τερπναι και πασαι αι τριβοι αυτης ειρηνη.	17 Her ways are beautiful ways, and all her paths are peaceful.
18 Ειναι δενδρον ζωης εις τους εναγκαλιζομενους αυτην? και μακαριοι οι κρατουντες αυτην.	18 She is a tree of life to those who overtake her, and he who shall take hold of her is blessed.
19 Δια της σοφιας εθεμελιωσεν ο Κυριος, εστερεωσε τους ουρανους εν συνεσει.	19 The Lord founded the earth on wisdom. He secured the heavens with prudence.
20 Δια της γνωσεως αυτου αι αβυσσοι ηνοιχθησαν και τα νεφη σταλαζουσι δροσον.	20 By his wisdom, the abyss erupted and the clouds increased with dew.
21 Υιε μου, ας μη απομακρυνθωσι ταυτα απο των οφθαλμων σου? φυλαττε ορθην βουλην και φρονησιν?	21 My son, let not these things move away from your eyes. Preserve law as well as counsel.
22 και θελει εισθαι ζωη εις την ψυχην σου και χαρις εις τον τραχηλον σου.	22 And so shall there be life in your soul and grace in your voice.
23 Τοτε θελεις περιπατει ασφαλως την οδον σου, και ο πους σου δεν θελει προσκοψει.	23 Then you shall walk confidently in your way, and your feet will not stumble.
24 Οταν πλαγιαζης, δεν θελεις τρομαζει? μαλιστα θελεις πλαγιαζει, και ο υπνος σου θελει εισθαι γλυκυς.	24 When you slumber, you shall not fear. When you rest, your sleep also will be sweet.
25 Δεν θελεις τρομαξει απο αιφνιδιου φοβου ουδε απο του ολεθρου των ασεβων, οταν επελθη?	25 Do not fear unexpected terror, nor the power of the impious falling upon you.
26 Διοτι ο Κυριος θελει εισθαι η ελπις σου, και θελει φυλαξει τον ποδα σου απο του να πιασθη.	26 For the Lord will be at your side, and he will guard your feet, so that you may not be seized.
27 Μη αρνηθης το καλον προς εκεινους, εις τους οποιους πρεπει, οταν ηναι εν τη χειρι σου να καμνης αυτο.	27 Do not prevent him who is able from doing good. When you are able, do good yourself too.
28 Μη ειπης προς τον πλησιον σου, Υπαγε και επαναστρεψον και αυριον θελω σοι δωσει? ενω εχεις τουτο παρα σεαυτω.	28 Do not say to your friend: “Go away, and then return. Tomorrow I will give to you.” When you are able to do so, give in the present.
29 Μη μηχανευου κακον κατα του πλησιον σου, ενω πεποιθως κατοικει μετα σου.	29 Do not undertake evil against your friend, even though he has trust in you.
30 Μη μαχου τινα αναιτιως, εαν δεν εκαμε κακον εις σε.	30 Do not contend against a man without cause, even though he has done no evil to you.
31 Μη ζηλευε τον βιαιον ανθρωπον και μη εκλεξης μηδεμιαν εκ των οδων αυτου?	31 Do not rival an unjust man, and do not imitate his ways.
32 διοτι ο Κυριος βδελυττεται τον σκολιον? το δε απορρητον αυτου φανερονεται εις τους δικαιους.	32 For everyone who ridicules is an abomination to the Lord, and his communication is for the simple.
33 Καταρα Κυριου εν τω οικω του ασεβους? ευλογει δε την κατοικιαν των δικαιων.	33 Destitution in the house of the impious is from the Lord. But the habitations of the just shall be blessed.
34 Βεβαιως αυτος αντιταττεται εις τους υπερηφανους? εις δε τους ταπεινους διδει χαριν.	34 He will ridicule those who ridicule, but he will bestow grace upon the mild.
35 Οι σοφοι θελουσι κληρονομησει δοξαν? το δε υψος των αφρονων θελει εισθαι η ατιμια.	35 The wise will possess glory. The exaltation of the foolish is disgraceful.
