| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A wise son heareth the doctrine of his father: but he that is a scorner, beareth not when he is reproved. | Filius sapiens doctrina patris; qui autem illusor est non audit cum arguitur. | Υἱὸς πανοῦργος ὑπήκοος πατρὶ, υἱὸς δὲ ἀνήκοος ἐν ἀπωλείᾳ. |
| 2 | Of the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things: but the soul of transgressors is wicked. | De fructu oris sui homo satiabitur bonis: anima autem praevaricatorum iniqua. | Ἀπὸ καρπῶν δικαιοσύνης φάγεται ἀγαθὸς, ψυχαὶ δὲ παρανόμων ὀλοῦνται ἄωροι. |
| 3 | He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his soul: but he that hath no guard on his speech shall meet with evils. | Qui custodit os suum custodit animam suam; qui autem inconsideratus est ad loquendum, sentiet mala. | Ὃς φυλάσσει τὸ ἑαυτοῦ στόμα τηρεῖ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχὴν, ὁ δὲ προπετὴς χείλεσι πτοήσει ἑαυτόν. |
| 4 | The sluggard willeth and willeth not: but the soul of them that work, shall be made fat. | Vult et non vult piger; anima autem operantium impinguabitur. | Ἐν ἐπιθυμίαις ἐστὶ πᾶς ἀεργὸς, χεῖρες δὲ ἀνδρείων ἐν ἐπιμελείᾳ. |
| 5 | The just shall hate a lying word: but the wicked confoundeth, and shall be confounded. | Verbum mendax iustus detestabitur; impius autem confundit, et confundetur. | Λόγον ἄδικον μισεῖ δίκαιος, ἀσεβὴς δὲ αἰσχύνεται, καὶ οὐκ ἕξει παῤῥησίαν. |
| 6 | Justice keepeth the way of the innocent: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner. | Iustitia custodit innocentis viam, impietas autem peccatorem supplantat. | — |
| 7 | One is as it were rich, when he hath nothing: and another is as it were poor, when he hath great riches. | Est quasi dives, cum nihil habeat, et est quasi pauper, cum in multis divitiis sit. | Εἰσὶν οἱ πλουτίζοντες ἑαυτοὺς μηδὲν ἔχοντες, καὶ εἰσὶν οἱ ταπεινοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ἐν πολλῷ πλούτῳ. |
| 8 | The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but he that is poor beareth not reprehension. | Redemptio animae viri divitiae suae; qui autem pauper est, increpationem non sustinet. | Λύτρον ἀνδρὸς ψυχῆς ὁ ἴδιος πλοῦτος, πτωχὸς δὲ οὐχ ὑφίσταται ἀπειλήν. |
| 9 | The light of the just giveth joy: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. | Lux iustorum laetificat: lucerna autem impiorum extinguetur. | Φῶς δικαίοις διαπαντὸς, φῶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν σβέννυται· ψυχαὶ δόλιαι πλανῶνται ἐν ἁμαρτίαις, δίκαιοι δὲ οἰκτείρουσι καὶ ἐλεοῦσι. |
| 10 | Among the proud there are always contentions: but they that do all things with counsel, are ruled by wisdom. | Inter superbos semper iurgia sunt; qui autem agunt omnia cum consilio, reguntur sapientia. | Κακὸς μεθʼ ὕβρεως πράσσει κακὰ, οἱ δʼ ἑαυτῶν ἐπιγνώμονες σοφοί. |
| 11 | Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand shall increase. | Substantia festinata minuetur; quae autem paulatim colligitur manu, multiplicabitur. | Ὕπαρξις ἐπισπουδαζομένη μετὰ ἀνομίας, ἐλάσσων γίνεται, ὁ δὲ συνάγων ἑαυτῷ μετʼ εὐσεβείας πληθυνθήσεται· δίκαιος οἰκτείρει καὶ κιχρᾷ. |
| 12 | Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: desire when it cometh is a tree of life. | Spes quae differtur affligit animam; lignum vitae desiderium veniens. | Κρείσσων ἐναρχόμενος βοηθῶν καρδίᾳ, τοῦ ἐπαγγελλομένου καὶ εἰς ἐλπίδα ἄγοντος· δένδρον γὰρ ζωῆς, ἐπιθυμία ἀγαθή. |
| 13 | Whosoever speaketh ill of any thing, bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the commandment, shall dwell in peace. Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy. | Qui detrahit alicui rei, ipse se in futurum obligat; qui autem timet praeceptum, in pace versabitur. Animae dolosae errant in peccatis: iusti autem misericordes sunt, et miserantur. | Ὃς καταφρονεῖ πράγματος, καταφρονηθήσεται ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ· ὁ δὲ φοβούμενος ἐντολὴν, οὗτος ὑγιαίνει· υἱῷ δολίῳ οὐδὲν ἔσται ἀγαθὸν, οἰκέτῃ δὲ σοφῷ εὔοδοι ἔσονται πράξεις, καὶ κατευθυνθήσεται ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ. |
| 14 | The law of the wise is a fountain of life, that he may decline from the ruin of death. | Lex sapientis fons vitae, ut declinet a ruina mortis. | Νόμος σοφοῦ πηγὴ ζωῆς, ὁ δὲ ἄνους ὑπὸ παγίδος θανεῖται. |
| 15 | Good instruction shall give grace: in the way of scorners is a deep pit. | Doctrina bona dabit gratiam; in itinere contemptorum vorago. | Σύνεσις ἀγαθὴ δίδωσι χάριν, τὸ δὲ γνῶναι νόμον διανοίας ἐστὶν ἀγαθῆς, ὁδοὶ δὲ καταφρονούντων ἐν ἀπωλείᾳ. |
| 16 | The prudent mall doth all things with counsel: but he that is a fool, layeth open his folly. | Astutus omnia agit cum consilio; qui autem fatuus est aperit stultitiam. | Πᾶς πανοῦργος πράσσει μετὰ γνώσεως, ὁ δὲ ἄφρων ἐξεπέτασεν ἑαυτοῦ κακίαν. |
| 17 | The messenger of the wicked shall fall into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. | Nuntius impii cadet in malum; legatus autem fidelis, sanitas. | Βασιλεὺς θρασὺς ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς κακὰ, ἄγγελος δὲ σοφὸς ῥύσεται αὐτόν. |
| 18 | Poverty and shame to him that refuseth instruction: but he that yieldeth to reproof, shall be glorified. | Egestas et ignominia ei qui deserit disciplinam; qui autem acquiescit arguenti glorificabitur. | Πενίαν καὶ ἀτιμίαν ἀφαιρεῖται παιδεία, ὁ δὲ φυλάσσων ἐλέγχους δοξασθήσεται. |
| 19 | The desire that is accomplished, delighteth the soul: fools hate them that flee from evil things. | Desiderium si compleatur delectat animam; detestantur stulti eos qui fugiunt mala. | Ἐπιθυμίαι εὐσεβῶν ἡδύνουσι ψυχὴν, ἔργα δὲ ἀσεβῶν μακρὰν ἀπὸ γνώσεως. |
| 20 | He that walketh with the wise, shall be wise: a friend of fools shall become like to them. | Qui cum sapientibus graditur sapiens erit; amicus stultorum similis efficietur. | Συμπορευόμενος σοφοῖς σοφὸς ἔσῃ, ὁ δὲ συμπορευόμενος ἄφροσι γνωσθήσεται. |
| 21 | Evil pursueth sinners: and to the just good shall be repaid. | Peccatores persequitur malum, et iustis retribuentur bona. | Ἁμαρτάνοντας καταδιώξεται κακὰ, τοὺς δὲ δικαίους καταλήψεται ἀγαθά. |
| 22 | The good man leaveth heirs, sons, and grandsons: and the substance of the sinner is kept for the just. | Bonus reliquit haeredes filios et nepotes, et custoditur iusto substantia peccatoris. | Ἀγαθὸς ἀνὴρ κληρονομήσει υἱοὺς υἱῶν, θησαυρίζεται δὲ δικαίοις πλοῦτος ἀσεβῶν. |
| 23 | Much food is in the tillage of fathers: but for others it is gathered with out judgment. | Multi cibi in novalibus patrum, et aliis congregantur absque iudicio. | Δίκαιοι ποιήσουσιν ἐν πλούτῳ ἔτη πολλὰ, ἄδικοι δὲ ἀπολοῦνται συντόμως. |
| 24 | He that spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes. | Qui parcit virgae odit filium suum; qui autem diligit illum instanter erudit. | Ὃς φείδεται τῆς βακτηρίας, μισεῖ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ὁ δὲ ἀγαπῶν, ἐπιμελῶς παιδεύει. |
| 25 | The just eateth and filleth his soul: but the belly of the wicked is never to be filled. | Iustus comedit et replet animam suam; venter autem impiorum insaturabilis. | Δίκαιος ἔσθων ἐμπιπλᾷ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ, ψυχαὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἐνδεεῖς. |
