ΠΑΡΟΙΜΙΑΙ - Proverbi - Proverbs 12

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Οστις αγαπα παιδειαν, αγαπα γνωσιν? αλλ' οστις μισει ελεγχον, ειναι αφρων.	1 He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is foolish.
2 Ο καλος ευρισκει χαριν παρα Κυριου? τον δε μηχανευομενον κακα θελει καταδικασει.	2 He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord : but he that trusteth in his own devices doth wickedly.
3 Δεν θελει στερεωθη ανθρωπος δια της ανομιας? η ριζα δε των δικαιων θελει μενει ασαλευτος.	3 Men shall not be strengthened by wickedness: and the root of the just shall not be moved.
4 Η εναρετος γυνη ειναι στεφανος εις τον ανδρα αυτης? η δε προξενουσα αισχυνην ειναι ως σαπρια εις τα οστα αυτου.	4 A diligent woman is a crown to her husband: and she that doth things worthy of confusion, is a rottenness in his bones.
5 Οι λογισμοι των δικαιων ειναι ευθυτης? αι δε βουλαι των ασεβων δολος.	5 The thoughts of the just are judgments: and the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
6 Οι λογοι των ασεβων ενεδρευουσιν αιμα? το δε στομα των ευθεων θελει ελευθερωσει αυτους.	6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them.
7 Οι ασεβεις καταστρεφονται και δεν υπαρχουσιν? ο οικος δε των δικαιων θελει διαμενει.	7 Turn the wicked, and they shall not be: but the house of the just shall stand firm.
8 Ο ανθρωπος εγκωμιαζεται κατα την συνεσιν αυτου? ο δε διεστραμμενος την καρδιαν θελει εισθαι εις καταφρονησιν.	8 A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.
9 Καλητερος ο ανθρωπος ο μη τιμωμενος και επαρκων εις εαυτον, παρα ο κενοδοξων και στερουμενος αρτου.	9 Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.
10 Ο δικαιος επιμελειται την ζωην του κτηνους αυτου? τα δε σπλαγχνα των ασεβων ειναι ανελεημονα.	10 The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel.
11 Ο εργαζομενος την γην αυτου θελει χορτασθη αρτον? ο δε ακολουθων τους ματαιοφρονας ειναι ενδεης φρενων.	11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that pursueth idleness is very foolish. He that is delighted in passing his time over wine, leaveth a reproach in his strong holds.
12 Ο ασεβης ζητει την υπερασπισιν των κακων? αλλ' η ριζα του δικαιου αναδιδει.	12 The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper.
13 Δι' αμαρτιαν χειλεων παγιδευεται ο ασεβης? ο δε δικαιος εξερχεται εκ στενοχωριας.	13 For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil mall: but the just shall escape out of distress.
14 Εκ των καρπων του στοματος αυτου ο ανθρωπος θελει εμπλησθη αγαθων? και η αμοιβη των χειρων του ανθρωπου θελει επιστρεψει εις αυτον.	14 By the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things, and according to the works of his hands it shall be repaid him.
15 Η οδος του αφρονος ειναι ορθη εις τους οφθαλμους αυτου? ο δε ακουων συμβουλας ειναι σοφος.	15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsels.
16 Ο αφρων φανερονει ευθυς την οργην αυτου? ο δε φρονιμος σκεπαζει το ονειδος αυτου.	16 A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.
17 Ο λαλων αληθειαν αναγγελλει το δικαιον? ο δε ψευδομαρτυς δολον.	17 He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness.
18 Ο φλυαρος ειναι ως τραυματα μαχαιρας? η δε γλωσσα των σοφων, ιασις.	18 There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.
19 Τα χειλη της αληθειας θελουσιν εισθαι σταθερα διαπαντος? η δε ψευδης γλωσσα μονον στιγμιαια.	19 The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue.
20 Δολος ειναι εν τη καρδια των μηχανευομενων κακα? ευφροσυνη δε εις τους βουλευομενους ειρηνην.	20 Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace.
21 Ουδεμια βλαβη θελει συμβη εις τον δικαιον? οι δε ασεβεις θελουσιν εμπλησθη κακων.	21 Whatsoever shall befall the just man. it shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22 Ψευδη χειλη βδελυγμα εις τον Κυριον? οι δε ποιουντες αληθειαν ειναι δεκτοι εις αυτον.	22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal faithfully please him.
23 Ο φρονιμος ανθρωπος καλυπτει γνωσιν? η δε καρδια των αφρονων διακηρυττει μωριαν.	23 A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly.
24 Η χειρ των επιμελων θελει εξουσιαζει? οι δε οκνηροι θελουσιν εισθαι υποτελεις.	24 The hand of the valiant shall bear rule: but that which is slothful, shall be under tribute.
25 Η λυπη εν τη καρδια του ανθρωπου ταπεινονει αυτην? ο δε καλος λογος ευφραινει αυτην.	25 Grief in the heart of a man shall bring him low, but with a good word he shall be made glad.
26 Ο δικαιος υπερεχει του πλησιον αυτου? η δε οδος των ασεβων πλανα αυτους.	26 He that neglecteth a loss for the sake of a friend, is just: but the way of the wicked shall deceive them.
27 Ο οκνηρος δεν επιτυγχανει του θηραματος αυτου? τα δε υπαρχοντα του επιμελους ανθρωπου ειναι πολυτιμα.	27 The deceitful man shall not find gain: but the substance of a just man shall be precious gold.
28 Εν τη οδω της δικαιοσυνης ειναι ζωη? και η πορεια της οδου αυτης δεν φερει εις θανατον.	28 In the path of justice is life: but the by-way leadeth to death.
