Wiki English Translation‎ / World English Bible

καὶ τί θαυμαστόν εἰ αἱ τῆς ψυχῆς ἐπιθυμίαι πρὸς τὴν τοῦ κάλλους μετουσίαν ἀκυροῦνται

4Mc 2:1

And what wonder? if the lusts of the soul, after participation with what is beautiful, are frustrated,

[translations][edit][history]

ταύτῃ γοῦν ὁ σώφρων Ιωσηφ ἐπαινεῖται ὅτι διανοίᾳ περιεκράτησεν τῆς ἡδυπαθείας

4Mc 2:2

on this ground, therefore, the temperate Joseph is praised in that by reasoning, he subdued, on reflection, the indulgence of sense.

[translations][edit][history]

νέος γὰρ ὢν καὶ ἀκμάζων πρὸς συνουσιασμὸν ἠκύρωσε τῷ λογισμῷ τὸν τῶν παθῶν οἶστρον

4Mc 2:3

For, although young, and ripe for sexual intercourse, he abrogated by reasoning the stimulus of his passions.

[translations][edit][history]

καὶ οὐ μόνον δὲ τὴν τῆς ἡδυπαθείας οἰστρηλασίαν ὁ λογισμὸς ἐπικρατεῖν φαίνεται ἀλλὰ καὶ πάσης ἐπιθυμίας

4Mc 2:4

And it is not merely the stimulus of sensual indulgence, but that of every desire, that reasoning is able to master.

[translations][edit][history]

λέγει γοῦν ὁ νόμος οὐκ ἐπιθυμήσεις τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ πλησίον σου οὐδὲ ὅσα τῷ πλησίον σού ἐστιν

4Mc 2:5

For instance, the law says, Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor anything that belongs to thy neighbour.

[translations][edit][history]

καίτοι ὅτε μὴ ἐπιθυμεῖν εἴρηκεν ἡμᾶς ὁ νόμος πολὺ πλέον πείσαιμ’ ἂν ὑμᾶς ὅτι τῶν ἐπιθυμιῶν κρατεῖν δύναται ὁ λογισμός ὥσπερ καὶ τῶν κωλυτικῶν τῆς δικαιοσύνης παθῶν

4Mc 2:6

Now, then, since it is the law which has forbidden us to desire, I shall much the more easily persuade you, that reasoning is able to govern our lusts, just as it does the affections which are impediments to justice.

[translations][edit][history]

ἐπεὶ τίνα τις τρόπον μονοφάγος ὢν τὸ ἦθος καὶ γαστρίμαργος ἢ καὶ μέθυσος μεταπαιδεύεται εἰ μὴ δῆλον ὅτι κύριός ἐστιν τῶν παθῶν ὁ λογισμός

4Mc 2:7

Since in what way is a solitary eater, and a glutton, and a drunkard reclaimed, unless it be clear that reasoning is lord of the passions?

[translations][edit][history]

αὐτίκα γοῦν τῷ νόμῳ πολιτευόμενος κἂν φιλάργυρός τις ᾖ βιάζεται τὸν αὑτοῦ τρόπον τοῖς δεομένοις δανείζων χωρὶς τόκων καὶ τὸ δάνειον τῶν ἑβδομάδων ἐνστασῶν χρεοκοπούμενος

4Mc 2:8

A man, therefore, who regulates his course by the law, even if he be a lover of money, straightway puts force upon his own disposition; lending to the needy without interest, and cancelling the debt of the incoming sabbath.

[translations][edit][history]

κἂν φειδωλός τις ᾖ ὑπὸ τοῦ νόμου κρατεῖται διὰ τὸν λογισμὸν μήτε ἐπικαρπολογούμενος τοὺς ἀμητοὺς μήτε ἐπιρρωγολογούμενος τοὺς ἀμπελῶνας καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ἑτέρων δὲ ἔστιν ἐπιγνῶναι τοῦτο ὅτι τῶν παθῶν ἐστιν ὁ λογισμὸς κρατῶν

4Mc 2:9

And should a man be parsimonious, he is ruled by the law acting through reasoning; so that he does not glean his harvest crops, nor vintage: and in reference to other points we may perceive that it is reasoning that conquers his passions.

[translations][edit][history]

ὁ γὰρ νόμος καὶ τῆς πρὸς γονεῖς εὐνοίας κρατεῖ μὴ καταπροδιδοὺς τὴν ἀρετὴν δι’ αὐτοὺς

4Mc 2:10

For the law conquers even affection toward parents, not surrendering virtue on their account.

[translations][edit][history]

καὶ τῆς πρὸς γαμετὴν φιλίας ἐπικρατεῖ διὰ τὴν παρανομίαν αὐτὴν ἀπελέγχων

4Mc 2:11

And it prevails over marriage love, condemning it when transgressing law.

[translations][edit][history]

καὶ τῆς τέκνων φιλίας κυριεύει διὰ κακίαν αὐτὰ κολάζων

4Mc 2:12

And it lords it over the love of parents toward their children, for they punish them for vice; and it domineers over the intimacy of friends, reproving them when wicked.

[translations][edit][history]

καὶ τῆς φίλων συνηθείας δεσπόζει διὰ πονηρίαν αὐτοὺς ἐξελέγχων

4Mc 2:13

And think it not a strange assertion that reasoning can in behalf of the law conquer even enmity.

[translations][edit][history]

καὶ μὴ νομίσητε παράδοξον εἶναι ὅπου καὶ ἔχθρας ἐπικρατεῖν ὁ λογισμὸς δύναται διὰ τὸν νόμον μήτε δενδροτομῶν τὰ ἥμερα τῶν πολεμίων φυτά τὰ δὲ τῶν ἐχθρῶν τοῖς ἀπολέσασι διασῴζων καὶ τὰ πεπτωκότα συνεγείρων

4Mc 2:14

It alloweth not to cut down the cultivated herbage of an enemy, but preserveth it from the destroyers, and collecteth their fallen ruins.

[translations][edit][history]

καὶ τῶν βιαιοτέρων δὲ παθῶν κρατεῖν ὁ λογισμὸς φαίνεται φιλαρχίας καὶ κενοδοξίας καὶ ἀλαζονείας καὶ μεγαλαυχίας καὶ βασκανίας

4Mc 2:15

And reason appears to be master of the more violent passions, as love of empire and empty boasting, and slander.

[translations][edit][history]

πάντα γὰρ ταῦτα τὰ κακοήθη πάθη ὁ σώφρων νοῦς ἀπωθεῖται ὥσπερ καὶ τὸν θυμόν καὶ γὰρ τούτου δεσπόζει

4Mc 2:16

For the temperate understanding repels all these malignant passions, as it does wrath: for it masters even this.

[translations][edit][history]

θυμούμενός γέ τοι Μωυσῆς κατὰ Δαθαν καὶ Αβιρων οὐ θυμῷ τι κατ’ αὐτῶν ἐποίησεν ἀλλὰ λογισμῷ τὸν θυμὸν διῄτησεν

4Mc 2:17

Thus Moses, when angered against Dathan and Abiram, did nothing to them in wrath, but regulated his anger by reasoning.

[translations][edit][history]

δυνατὸς γὰρ ὁ σώφρων νοῦς ὡς ἔφην κατὰ τῶν παθῶν ἀριστεῦσαι καὶ τὰ μὲν αὐτῶν μεταθεῖναι τὰ δὲ καὶ ἀκυρῶσαι

4Mc 2:18

For the temperate mind is able, as I said, to be superior to the passions, and to transfer some, and destroy others.

[translations][edit][history]

ἐπεὶ διὰ τί ὁ πάνσοφος ἡμῶν πατὴρ Ιακωβ τοὺς περὶ Συμεων καὶ Λευιν αἰτιᾶται μὴ λογισμῷ τοὺς Σικιμίτας ἐθνηδὸν ἀποσφάξαντας λέγων ἐπικατάρατος ὁ θυμὸς αὐτῶν

4Mc 2:19

For why, else, does our most wise father Jacob blame Simeon and Levi for having irrationally slain the whole race of the Shechemites, saying, Cursed be their anger.

[translations][edit][history]

εἰ μὴ γὰρ ἐδύνατο τοῦ θυμοῦ ὁ λογισμὸς κρατεῖν οὐκ ἂν εἶπεν οὕτως

4Mc 2:20

For if reasoning did not possess the power of subduing angry affections, he would not have spoken thus.

[translations][edit][history]

ὁπηνίκα γὰρ ὁ θεὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον κατεσκεύασεν τὰ πάθη αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἤθη περιεφύτευσεν

4Mc 2:21

For at the time when God created man, He implanted within him his passions and moral nature.

[translations][edit][history]

ἡνίκα δὲ ἐπὶ πάντων τὸν ἱερὸν ἡγεμόνα νοῦν διὰ τῶν αἰσθητηρίων ἐνεθρόνισεν

4Mc 2:22

And at that time He enthroned above all the holy leader mind, through the medium of the senses.

[translations][edit][history]

καὶ τούτῳ νόμον ἔδωκεν καθ’ ὃν πολιτευόμενος βασιλεύσει βασιλείαν σώφρονά τε καὶ δικαίαν καὶ ἀγαθὴν καὶ ἀνδρείαν

4Mc 2:23

And He gave a law to this mind, by living according to which it will maintain a temperate, and just, and good, and manly reign.

[translations][edit][history]

πῶς οὖν εἴποι τις ἄν εἰ τῶν παθῶν δεσπότης ἐστὶν ὁ λογισμός λήθης καὶ ἀγνοίας οὐ κρατεῖ

4Mc 2:24

How, then, a man may say, if reasoning be master of the passions, has it no control over forgetfulness and ignorance?
