Proverbs 3

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