| 1 μὴ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ τοῖς χρήμασίν σου καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς αὐτάρκη μοί ἐστιν 2 μὴ ἐξακολούθει τῇ ψυχῇ σου καὶ τῇ ἰσχύι σου πορεύεσθαι ἐν ἐπιθυμίαις καρδίας σου 3 καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς τίς με δυναστεύσει ὁ γὰρ κύριος ἐκδικῶν ἐκδικήσει 4 μὴ εἴπῃς ἥμαρτον καὶ τί μοι ἐγένετο ὁ γὰρ κύριός ἐστιν μακρόθυμος 5 περὶ ἐξιλασμοῦ μὴ ἄφοβος γίνου προσθεῖναι ἁμαρτίαν ἐ{F'} ἁμαρτίαις 6 καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς ὁ οἰκτιρμὸς αὐτοῦ πολύς τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου ἐξιλάσεται 7 ἔλεος γὰρ καὶ ὀργὴ πα{R'} αὐτῷ καὶ ἐπὶ ἁμαρτωλοὺς καταπαύσει ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ 8 μὴ ἀνάμενε ἐπιστρέψαι πρὸς κύριον καὶ μὴ ὑπερβάλλου ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας 9 ἐξάπινα γὰρ ἐξελεύσεται ὀργὴ κυρίου καὶ ἐν καιρῷ ἐκδικήσεως ἐξολῇ 10 μὴ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ χρήμασιν ἀδίκοις οὐδὲν γὰρ ὠφελήσει σε ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπαγωγῆς | 1 Wilt thou look round at ill-gotten gains, and tell thyself thou hast enough for all thy needs? Trust me, when vengeance finds thee out, all this shall nothing avail thee. 2 In manhood’s vigour, do not follow the whim of thy heart, 3 boasting of thy strength, and asking who will call thee to account for thy doings; God will find a way to punish thee. 4 Nor ever flatter thyself that thou hast sinned and come away scot-free; the eternal justice waits its time. 5 Ill it were that sin’s pardon should embolden thee to sin afresh. 6 Dost thou tell thyself God’s mercies are great, and he will pardon thy sins for all they are so many? 7 Bethink thee that his vengeance rides swift as his mercy; it is a jealous eye that watches the sinner. 8 Or wouldst thou make slow work of turning to the Lord, and put it off from day to day? 9 Swift falls his anger and perilous, when the time for vengeance is ripe. 10 And must thy thoughts still dwell on the ill-gotten gains, that shall nothing avail thee when vengeance finds thee out? | 1 Noli attendere ad possessiones iniquas, et ne dixeris: Est mihi sufficiens vita: nihil enim proderit in tempore vindictæ et obductionis. Ne sequaris in fortitudine tua concupiscentiam cordis tui, et ne dixeris: Quomodo potui? aut, Quis me subjiciet propter facta mea? Deus enim vindicans vindicabit. Ne dixeris: Peccavi: et quid mihi accidit triste? Altissimus enim est patiens redditor. De propitiatio peccato noli esse sine metu, neque adjicias peccatum super peccatum. Et ne dicas: Miseratio Domini magna est, multitudinis peccatorum meorum miserebitur: misericordia enim et ira ab illo cito proximant, et in peccatores respicit ira illius. Non tardes converti ad Dominum, et ne differas de die in diem: subito enim veniet ira illius, et in tempore vindictæ disperdet te. Noli anxius esse in divitiis injustis: non enim proderunt tibi in die obductionis et vindictæ. |
| 11 μὴ λίκμα ἐν παντὶ ἀνέμῳ καὶ μὴ πορεύου ἐν πάσῃ ἀτραπῷ οὕτως ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς ὁ δίγλωσσος 12 ἴσθι ἐστηριγμένος ἐν συνέσει σου καὶ εἷς ἔστω σου ὁ λόγος | 11 Turn not with every wind, nor walk in every way that offers; that sinners do, till their hypocrisy is found out. 12 Firm let thy feet be set on the path the Lord has chosen for thee; be true to thy own thought and to the knowledge thou hast, and ever let the counsels of peace and justice guide thee on thy way. | 11 Non ventiles te in omnem ventum, et non eas in omnem viam: sic enim omnis peccator probatur in duplici lingua. Esto firmus in via Domini, et in veritate sensus tui et scientia: et prosequatur te verbum pacis et justitiæ. |
| 13 γίνου ταχὺς ἐν ἀκροάσει σου καὶ ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ φθέγγου ἀπόκρισιν | 13 True answer and wise answer none can give but he who listens patiently, and learns all. | 13 Esto mansuetus ad audiendum verbum, ut intelligas, et cum sapientia proferas responsum verum. |
| 14 εἰ ἔστιν σοι σύνεσις ἀποκρίθητι τῷ πλησίον εἰ δὲ μή ἡ χείρ σου ἔστω ἐπὶ τῷ στόματί σου 15 δόξα καὶ ἀτιμία ἐν λαλιᾷ καὶ γλῶσσα ἀνθρώπου πτῶσις αὐτῷ | 14 If discernment thou hast, give thy neighbour his answer; if none, tongue held is best, or some ill-advised word will shame thee; 15 speech uttered was ever the wise man’s passport to fame, the fool’s undoing. | 14 Si est tibi intellectus, responde proximo: sin autem, sit manus tua super os tuum, ne capiaris in verbo indisciplinato, et confundaris. Honor et gloria in sermone sensati: lingua vero imprudentis subversio est ipsius. |
| 16 μὴ κληθῇς ψίθυρος καὶ τῇ γλώσσῃ σου μὴ ἐνέδρευε 17 ἐπὶ γὰρ τῷ κλέπτῃ ἐστὶν αἰσχύνη καὶ κατάγνωσις πονηρὰ ἐπὶ διγλώσσου | 16 Never win the name of back-biter, by thy own tongue entrapped into shame. 17 A thief must blush and do penance, a hypocrite men will mark and avoid; the back-biter earns indignation and enmity and disgrace all at once. | 16 Non appelleris susurro, et lingua tua ne capiaris et confundaris: super furem enim est confusio et pœnitentia, et denotatio pessima super bilinguem: susurratori autem odium, et inimicitia, et contumelia. |
| 18 ἐν μεγάλῳ καὶ ἐν μικρῷ μὴ ἀγνόει | 18 To all alike, high and low, give just award. | 18 Justifica pusillum et magnum similiter. |
