| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is foolish. | Qui diligit disciplinam diligit scientiam; qui autem odit increpationes insipiens est. | Ὁ ἀγαπῶν παιδείαν, ἀγαπᾷ αἴσθησιν· ὁ δὲ μισῶν ἐλέγχους, ἄφρων. |
| 2 | He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord: but he that trusteth in his own devices doth wickedly. | Qui bonus est hauriet gratiam a Domino; qui autem confidit in cogitationibus suis impie agit. | Κρείσσων ὁ εὑρὼν χάριν παρὰ Κυρίῳ, ἀνὴρ δὲ παράνομος παρασιωπηθήσεται. |
| 3 | Men shall not be strengthened by wickedness: and the root of the just shall not be moved. | Non roborabitur homo ex impietate, et radix iustorum non commovebitur. | Οὐ κατορθώσει ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἀνόμου, αἱ δὲ ῥίζαι τῶν δικαίων οὐκ ἐξαρθήσονται. |
| 4 | A diligent woman is a crown to her husband: and she that doth things worthy of confusion, is a rottenness in his bones. | Mulier diligens corona est viro suo; et putredo in ossibus eius, quae confusione res dignas gerit. | Γυνὴ ἀνδρεία στέφανος τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς· ὥσπερ δὲ ἐν ξύλῳ σκώληξ, οὕτως ἄνδρα ἀπόλλυσι γυνὴ κακοποιός. |
| 5 | The thoughts of the just are judgments: and the counsels of the wicked are deceitful. | Cogitationes iustorum iudicia, et consilia impiorum fraudulenta. | Λογισμοὶ δικαίων κρίματα, κυβερνῶσι δὲ ἀσεβεῖς δόλους. |
| 6 | The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them. | Verba impiorum insidiantur sanguini; os iustorum liberabit eos. | Λόγοι ἀσεβῶν δόλιοι, στόμα δὲ ὀρθῶν ῥύσεται αὐτούς. |
| 7 | Turn the wicked, and they shall not be: but the house of the just shall stand firm. | Verte impios, et non erunt; domus autem iustorum permanebit. | Οὗ ἐὰν στραφῇ ὁ ἀσεβὴς, ἀφανίζεται, οἶκοι δὲ δικαίων παραμένουσι· |
| 8 | A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt. | Doctrina sua noscetur vir; qui autem vanus et excors est patebit contemptui. | Στόμα συνετοῦ ἐγκωμιάζεται ὑπὸ ἀνδρὸς, νωθροκάρδιος δὲ μυκτηρίζεται. |
| 9 | Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread. | Melior est pauper et sufficiens sibi quam gloriosus et indigens pane. | Κρείσσων ἀνὴρ ἐν ἀτιμίᾳ δουλεύων ἑαυτῷ, ἢ τιμὴν ἑαυτῷ περιτιθεὶς καὶ προσδεόμενος ἄρτου. |
| 10 | The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel. | Novit iustus iumentorum suorum animas; viscera autem impiorum crudelia. | Δίκαιος οἰκτείρει ψυχὰς κτηνῶν αὐτοῦ, τὰ δὲ σπλάγχνα τῶν ἀσεβῶν ἀνελεήμονα. |
| 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. | Qui operatur terram suam satiabitur panibus; qui autem sectatur otium stultissimus est. Qui suavis est in vini demorationibus, in suis munitionibus relinquit contumeliam. | Ὁ ἐργαζόμενος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γῆν, ἐμπλησθήσεται ἄρτων, οἱ δὲ διώκοντες μάταια, ἐνδεεῖς φρενῶν· ὅς ἐστιν ἡδὺς ἐν οἴνων διατριβαῖς, ἐν τοῖς ἑαυτοῦ ὀχυρώμασι καταλείψει ἀτιμίαν. |
| 12 | The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper. | Desiderium impii munimentum est pessimorum; radix autem iustorum proficiet. | Ἐπιθυμίαι ἀσεβῶν κακαὶ, αἱ δὲ ῥίζαι τῶν εὐσεβῶν ἐν ὀχυρώμασι. |
| 13 | For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil mall: but the just shall escape out of distress. | Propter peccata labiorum ruina proximat malo; effugiet autem iustus de angustia. | Διʼ ἁμαρτίαν χειλέων ἐμπίπτει εἰς παγίδας ἁμαρτωλὸς, ἐκφεύγει δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν δίκαιος· ὁ βλέπων λεῖα ἐλεηθήσεται, ὁ δὲ συναντῶν ἐν πύλαις ἐκθλίψει ψυχάς. |
| 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. | De fructu oris sui unusquisque replebitur bonis, et iuxta opera manuum suarum retribuetur ei. | Ἀπὸ καρπῶν στόματος ψυχὴ ἀνδρὸς πλησθήσεται ἀγαθῶν, ἀνταπόδομα δὲ χειλέων αὐτοῦ δοθήσεται αὐτῷ. |
| 15 | The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsels. | Via stulti recta in oculis eius; qui autem sapiens est audit consilia. | Ὁδοὶ ἀφρόνων ὀρθαὶ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, εἰσακούει δὲ συμβουλίας σοφός. |
| 16 | A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise. | Fatuus statim indicat iram suam; qui autem dissimulat iniuriam callidus est. | Ἄφρων αὐθημερὸν ἐξαγγέλλει ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ, κρύπτει δὲ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀτιμίαν ἀνὴρ πανοῦργος. |
| 17 | He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness. | Qui quod novit loquitur, index iustitiae est; qui autem mentitur, testis est fraudulentus. | Ἐπιδεικνυμένην πίστιν ἀπαγγέλλει δίκαιος, ὁ δὲ μάρτυς τῶν ἀδίκων δόλιος. |
| 18 | There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health. | Est qui promittit, et quasi gladio pungitur conscientiae: lingua autem sapientium sanitas est. | Εἰσὶν οἳ λέγοντες τιτρώσκουσι, μάχαιραι· γλῶσσαι δὲ σοφῶν ἰῶνται. |
| 19 | The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue. | Labium veritatis firmum erit in perpetuum; qui autem testis est repentinus, concinnat linguam mendacii. | Χείλη ἀληθινὰ κατορθοῖ μαρτυρίαν, μάρτυς δὲ ταχὺς γλῶσσαν ἔχει ἄδικον. |
| 20 | Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace. | Dolus in corde cogitantium mala; qui autem pacis ineunt consilia, sequitur eos gaudium. | Δόλος ἐν καρδίᾳ τεκταινομένου κακὰ, οἱ δὲ βουλόμενοι εἰρήνην εὐφρανθήσονται. |
| 21 | Whatsoever shall befall the just man. it shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. | Non contristabit iustum quidquid ei acciderit: impii autem replebuntur malo. | Οὐκ ἀρέσει τῷ δικαίῳ οὐδὲν ἄδικον, οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς πλησθήσονται κακῶν. |
| 22 | Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal faithfully please him. | Abominatio est Domino labia mendacia; qui autem fideliter agunt placent ei. | Βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ χείλη ψευδῆ, ὁ δὲ ποιῶν πίστεις δεκτὸς παρʼ αὐτῷ. |
| 23 | A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly. | Homo versatus celat scientiam, et cor insipientium provocat stultitiam. | Ἀνὴρ συνετὸς θρόνος αἰσθήσεως, καρδία δὲ ἀφρόνων συναντήσεται ἀραῖς. |
| 24 | The hand of the valiant shall bear rule: but that which is slothful, shall be under tribute. | Manus fortium dominabitur; quae autem remissa est, tributis serviet. | Χεὶρ ἐκλεκτῶν κρατήσει εὐχερῶς, δόλιοι δὲ ἔσονται ἐν προνομῇ. |
| 25 | Grief in the heart of a man shall bring him low, but with a good word he shall be made glad. | Moeror in corde viri humiliabit illum, et sermone bono laetificabitur. | Φοβερὸς λόγος καρδίαν ταράσσει ἀνδρὸς δικαίου, ἀγγελία δὲ ἀγαθὴ εὐφραίνει αὐτόν. |
| 26 | He that neglecteth a loss for the sake of a friend, is just: but the way of the wicked shall deceive them. | Qui negligit damnum propter amicum, iustus est; iter autem impiorum decipiet eos. | Ἐπιγνώμων δίκαιος ἑαυτοῦ φίλος ἔσται, ἁμαρτάνοντας δὲ καταδιώξεται κακὰ, ἡ δὲ ὁδὸς τῶν ἀσεβῶν πλανήσει αὐτούς. |
| 27 | The deceitful man shall not find gain: but the substance of a just man shall be precious gold. | Non inveniet fraudulentus lucrum, et substantia hominis erit auri pretium. | Οὐκ ἐπιτεύξεται δόλιος θήρας, κτῆμα δὲ τίμιον ἀνὴρ καθαρός. |
| 28 | In the path of justice is life: but the by-way leadeth to death. | In semita iustitiae vita; iter autem devium ducit ad mortem. | Ἐν ὁδοῖς δικαιοσύνης ζωὴ, ὁδοὶ δὲ μνησικάκων εἰς θάνατον. |
