| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother. | Filius sapiens laetificat patrem, filius vero stultus moestitia est matris suae. | Υἱὸς σοφὸς εὐφραίνει πατέρα, υἱὸς δὲ ἄφρων λύπη τῇ μητρί. |
| 2 | Treasures of wickedness shall profit nothing: but justice shall deliver from death. | Nil proderunt thesauri impietatis, iustitia vero liberabit a morte. | Οὐκ ὠφελήσουσι θησαυροὶ ἀνόμους, δικαιοσύνη δὲ ῥύσεται ἐκ θανάτου. |
| 3 | The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked. | Non affliget Dominus fame animam iusti, et insidias impiorum subvertet. | Οὐ λιμοκτονήσει Κύριος ψυχὴν δικαίαν, ζωὴν δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀνατρέψει. |
| 4 | The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away. | Egestatem operata est manus remissa; manus autem fortium divitias parat. Qui nititur mendaciis, hic pascit ventos; idem autem ipse sequitur aves volantes. | Πενία ἄνδρα ταπεινοῖ, χεῖρες δὲ ἀνδρείων πλουτίζουσιν· υἱὸς πεπαιδευμένος σοφὸς ἔσται, τῷ δὲ ἄφρονι διακόνῳ χρήσεται. |
| 5 | He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion. | Qui congregat in messe, filius sapiens est; qui autem stertit aestate, filius confusionis. | Διεσώθη ἀπὸ καύματος υἱὸς νοήμων, ἀνεμόφθορος δὲ γίνεται ἐν ἀμητῷ υἱὸς παράνομος. |
| 6 | The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked. | Benedictio Domini super caput iusti; os autem impiorum operit iniquitas. | Εὐλογία Κυρίου ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν δικαίου, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν καλύψει πένθος ἄωρον. |
| 7 | The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot. | Memoria iusti cum laudibus, et nomen impiorum putrescet. | Μνήμη δικαίων μετʼ ἐγκωμίων, ὄνομα δὲ ἀσεβοῦς σβέννυται. |
| 8 | The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips. | Sapiens corde praecepta suscipit; stultus caeditur labiis. | Σοφὸς καρδίᾳ δέξεται ἐντολὰς, ὁ δὲ ἄστεγος χείλες σκολιάζων ὑποσκελισθήσεται. |
| 9 | He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest. | Qui ambulat simpliciter ambulat confidenter; qui autem depravat vias suas manifestus erit. | Ὃς πορεύεται ἁπλῶς, πορεύεται πεποιθώς· ὁ δὲ διαστρέφων τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ, γνωσθήσεται. |
| 10 | He that winketh with the eye shall cause sorrow: and the foolish in lips shall be beaten. | Qui annuit oculo dabit dolorem; et stultus labiis verberabitur. | Ὁ ἐννεύων ὀφθαλμοῖς μετὰ δόλου, συνάγει ἀνδράσι λύπας· ὁ δὲ ἐλέγχων μετὰ παῤῥησίας, εἰρηνοποιεῖ. |
| 11 | The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity. | Vena vitae os iusti, et os impiorum operit iniquitatem. | Πηγὴ ζωῆς ἐν χειρὶ δικαίου, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβοῦς καλύψει ἀπώλεια. |
| 12 | Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins. | Odium suscitat rixas, et universa delicta operit caritas. | Μῖσος ἐγείρει νεῖκος, πάντας δὲ τοὺς μὴ φιλονεικοῦντας καλύπτει φιλία. |
| 13 | In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense. | In labiis sapientis invenitur sapientia, et virga in dorso eius qui indiget corde. | Ὃ ἐκ χειλέων προφέρει σοφίαν, ῥάβδῳ τύπτει ἄνδρα ἀκάρδιον. |
| 14 | Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion. | Sapientes abscondunt scientiam; os autem stulti confusioni proximum est. | Σοφοὶ κρύψουσιν αἴσθησιν, στόμα δὲ προπετοῦς ἐγγίζει συντριβῇ. |
| 15 | The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty. | Substantia divitis, urbs fortitudinis eius; pavor pauperum egestas eorum. | Κτῆσις πλουσίων πόλις ὀχυρὰ, συντριβὴ δὲ ἀσεβῶν πενία. |
| 16 | The work of the just is unto life: but the fruit of the wicked, unto sin. | Opus iusti ad vitam, fructus autem impii ad peccatum. | Ἔργα δικαίων ζωὴν ποιεῖ, καρποὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἁμαρτίας. |
| 17 | The way of life, to him that observeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproofs goeth astray. | Via vitae custodienti disciplinam; qui autem increpationes relinquit, errat. | Ὁδοὺς δικαίας ζωῆς φυλάσσει παιδεία, παιδεία δὲ ἀνεξέλεγκτος πλανᾶται. |
| 18 | Lying lips hide hatred: he that uttereth reproach is foolish. | Abscondunt odium labia mendacia; qui profert contumeliam, insipiens est. | Καλύπτουσιν ἔχθραν χείλη δίκαια, οἱ δὲ ἐκφέροντες λοιδορίας ἀφρονέστατοί εἰσιν. |
| 19 | In the multitude of words there shall not want sin: but he that refraineth his lips is most wise. | In multiloquio non deerit peccatum, qui autem moderatur labia sua prudentissimus est. | Ἐκ πολυλογίας οὐκ ἐκφεύξῃ ἁμαρτίαν, φειδόμενος δὲ χειλέων νοήμων ἔσῃ. |
| 20 | The tongue of the just is as choice silver: but the heart of the wicked is nothing worth. | Argentum electum lingua iusti; cor autem impiorum pro nihilo. | Ἄργυρος πεπυρωμένος γλῶσσα δικαίου, καρδία δὲ ἀσεβοῦς ἐκλείψει. |
| 21 | The lips of the just teach many: but they that are ignorant, shall die in the want of understanding. | Labia iusti erudiunt plurimos; qui autem indocti sunt in cordis egestate morientur. | Χείλη δικαίων ἐπίσταται ὑψηλὰ, οἱ δὲ ἄφρονες ἐν ἐνδείᾳ τελευτῶσιν. |
| 22 | The blessing of the Lord maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them. | Benedictio Domini divites facit, nec sociabitur eis afflictio. | Εὐλογία Κυρίου ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν δικαίου, αὕτη πλουτίζει, καὶ οὐ μὴ προστεθῇ αὐτῇ λύπη ἐν καρδίᾳ. |
| 23 | A fool worketh mischief as it were for sport: but wisdom is prudence to a man. | Quasi per risum stultus operatur scelus, sapientia autem est viro prudentia. | Ἐν γέλωτι ἄφρων πράσσει κακὰ, ἡ δὲ σοφία ἀνδρὶ τίκτει φρόνησιν. |
| 24 | That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given. | Quod timet impius veniet super eum; desiderium suum iustus dabitur. | Ἐν ἀπωλείᾳ ἀσεβὴς περιφέρεται, ἐπιθυμία δὲ δικαίου δεκτή. |
| 25 | As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as an everlasting foundation. | Quasi tempestas transiens non erit impius; iustus autem quasi fundamentum sempiternum. | Παραπορευομένης καταιγίδος ἀφανίζεται ἀσεβὴς, δίκαιος δὲ ἐκκλίνας σώζεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. |
| 26 | As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him. | Sicut acetum dentibus, et fumus oculis, sic piger his qui miserunt eum. | Ὥσπερ ὄμφαξ ὀδοῦσι βλαβερὸν, καὶ καπνὸς ὄμμασιν, οὕτως παρανομία τοῖς χρωμένοις αὐτῇ. |
| 27 | The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened. | Timor Domini apponet dies, et anni impiorum breviabuntur. | Φόβος Κυρίου προστίθησιν ἡμέρας, ἔτη δὲ ἀσεβῶν ὀλιγωθήσεται. |
| 28 | The expectation of the just is joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish. | Exspectatio iustorum laetitia, spes autem impiorum peribit. | Ἐγχρονίζει δικαίοις εὐφροσύνη, ἐλπὶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀπολεῖται. |
| 29 | The strength of the upright is the way of the Lord: and fear to them that work evil. | Fortitudo simplicis via Domini, et pavor his qui operantur malum. | Ὀχύρωμα ὁσίου φόβος Κυρίου, συντριβὴ δὲ τοῖς ἐργαζομένοις κακά. |
| 30 | The just shall never be moved: but the wicked shall not dwell on the earth. | Iustus in aeternum non commovebitur, impii autem non habitabunt super terram. | Δίκαιος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα οὐκ ἐνδώσει, ἀσεβεῖς δὲ οὐκ οἰκήσουσι γῆν. |
| 31 | The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom: the tongue of the perverse shall perish. | Os iusti parturiet sapientiam; lingua pravorum peribit. | Στόμα δικαίου ἀποστάζει σοφίαν, γλῶσσα δὲ ἀδίκου ἐξολεῖται. |
| 32 | The lips of the just consider what is acceptable: and the mouth of the wicked uttereth perverse things. | Labia iusti considerant placita, et os impiorum perversa. | Χείλη ἀνδρῶν δικαίων ἀποστάζει χάριτας, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀποστρέφεται. |
