Proverbs 19
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
πλοῦτος προστίθησιν φίλους πολλούς, ὁ δὲ πτωχὸς καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑπάρχοντος φίλου λείπεται.
Better a poor man who walks with integrity than a fool whose lips are perverse.
μάρτυς ψευδὴς οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται, ὁ δὲ ἐγκαλῶν ἀδίκως οὐ διαφεύξεται.
Even zeal is no good without knowledge, and he who hurries his footsteps misses the mark.
πολλοὶ θεραπεύουσιν πρόσωπα βασιλέων, πᾶς δὲ ὁ κακὸς γίνεται ὄνειδος ἀνδρί.
A man’s own folly subverts his way, yet his heart rages against the LORD.
πᾶς ὃς ἀδελφὸν πτωχὸν μισεῖ, καὶ φιλίας μακρὰν ἔσται· ἔννοια ἀγαθὴ τοῖς εἰδόσιν αὐτὴν ἐγγιεῖ, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος εὑρήσει αὐτήν. ὁ πολλὰ κακοποιῶν τελεσιουργεῖ κακίαν, ὃς δὲ ἐρεθίζει λόγους οὐ σωθήσεται.
Wealth attracts many friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend.
ὁ κτώμενος φρόνησιν ἀγαπᾷ ἑαυτόν, ὃς δὲ φυλάσσει φρόνησιν εὑρήσει ἀγαθά.
A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who utters lies will not escape.
μάρτυς ψευδὴς οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται, ͎ҏďĎ̠εἰμι ἢ δράκων, ὅτι κατέταξας ἐπʼ ἐμέ φυλ
Many seek the favor of the prince, and everyone is a friend of the gift giver.
οὐ συμφέρει ἄφρονι τρυφή, καὶ ἐὰν οἰκέτης ἄρξηται μεθʼ ὕβρεως δυναστεύειν.
All the brothers of a poor man hate him—how much more do his friends avoid him! He may pursue them with pleading, but they are nowhere to be found.
ἐλεήμων ἀνὴρ μακροθυμεῖ, τὸ δὲ καύχημα αὐτοῦ ἐπέρχεται παρανόμοις.
He who acquires wisdom loves himself; one who safeguards understanding will find success.
βασιλέως ἀπειλὴ ὁμοία βρυγμῷ λέοντος, ὥσπερ δὲ δρόσος ἐπὶ χόρτῳ, οὕτως τὸ ἱλαρὸν αὐτοῦ.
A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who pours out lies will perish.
αἰσχύνη πατρὶ υἱὸς ἄφρων· οὐχ ἁγναὶ εὐχαὶ ἀπὸ μισθώματος ἑταίρας.
Luxury is unseemly for a fool—how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
οἶκον καὶ ὕπαρξιν μερίζουσιν πατέρες παισίν, παρὰ δὲ θεοῦ ἁρμόζεται γυνὴ ἀνδρί.
A man’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.
δειλία κατέχει ἀνδρογύναιον, ψυχὴ δὲ ἀεργοῦ πεινάσει.
A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
ὃς φυλάσσει ἐντολὴν τηρεῖ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν, ὁ δὲ καταφρονῶν τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ὁδῶν ἀπολεῖται.
A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
δανίζει θεῷ ὁ ἐλεῶν πτωχόν, κατὰ δὲ τὸ δόμα αὐτοῦ ἀνταποδοθήσεται αὐτῷ.
Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
παίδευε υἱόν σου, οὕτως γὰρ ἔσται εὔελπις, εἰς δὲ ὕβριν μὴ ἐπαίρου τῇ ψυχῇ σου.
Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger.
κακόφρων ἀνὴρ ζημιωθήσεται· ἐὰν δὲ λοιμεύηται, καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ προσθήσει.
He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, but he who is careless in his ways will die.
Ἄκουε, υἱέ, παιδείαν πατρός σου, ἵνα σοφὸς γένῃ ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων σου.
Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender.
πολλοὶ λογισμοὶ ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀνδρός, ἡ δὲ βουλὴ τοῦ κυρίου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει.
Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be party to his death.
καρπὸς ἀνδρὶ ἐλεημοσύνη, κρείσσων δὲ πτωχὸς δίκαιος ἢ πλούσιος ψευδής.
A man of great anger must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do so again.
φόβος Κυρίου εἰς ζωὴν ἀνδρί. ὁ δὲ ἄφοβος αὐλισθήσεται ἐν τόποις οὗ οὐκ ἐπισκοπεῖται γνῶσις.
Listen to counsel and accept discipline, that you may be wise the rest of your days.
ὁ ἐγκρύπτων εἰς τὸν κόλπον αὐτοῦ χεῖρας ἀδίκως, οὐδὲ τῷ στόματι οὐ μὴ προσενέγκῃ αὐτάς.
Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail.
λοιμοῦ μαστιγουμένου ἄφρων πανουργότερος γίνεται· ἐὰν δὲ ἐλέγχῃς ἄνδρα φρόνιμον, νοήσει αἴσθησιν.
The desire of a man is loving devotion; better to be poor than a liar.
ὁ ἀτιμάζων πατέρα καὶ ἀπωθούμενος μητέρα αὐτοῦ καταισχυνθήσεται καὶ ἐπονείδιστος ἔσται.
The fear of the LORD leads to life, that one may rest content, without visitation from harm.
υἱὸς ἀπολειπόμενος φυλάξαι παιδείαν πατρὸς μελετήσει ῥήσεις κακάς.
The slacker buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth.
ὁ ἐγγυώμενος παῖδα ἄφρονα καθυβρίζει δικαίωμα, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν καταπίεται κρίσεις.
Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware; rebuke the discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.
ἑτοιμάζονται ἀκολάστοις μάστιγες, καὶ τιμωρίαι ὁμοίως ἄφροσιν.
He who assaults his father or evicts his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace.
