Lucius Annaeus Seneca (-5 - +65)

Epistula LXXVIII.
Toto contra ille pugnet animo; vincetur, si cesserit, vincet, si se contra dolorem suum intenderit. Nunc hoc plerique faciunt, adtrahunt in se ruinam, cui obstandum est. Istud quod premit, quod inpendet, quod urget, si subducere te coeperis, sequetur et gravius incumbet; si contra steteris et obniti volueris, repelletur. …
[Let such a man fight against them with all his might: if he once gives way, he will be vanquished; but if he strives against his sufferings, he will conquer. As it is, however, what most men do is to drag down upon their own heads a falling ruin which they ought to try to support. If you begin to withdraw your support from that which thrusts toward you and totters and is ready to plunge, it will follow you and lean more heavily upon you; but if you hold your ground and make up your mind to push against it, it will be forced back. …]
(…., Ad Lucilium Epistulae morales, London 1970, p. 190 / 191.)

Žalm 55 ()

¹² Nebo ne nějaký zjevný nepřítel útržky mi činil, sic jinak snesl bych to; ani ten, kdož mne nenávidí, pozdvihl se proti mně, nebo skryl bych se před ním: 13Ale ty, člověče, mně rovný, vůdce můj a domácí můj, 14Ješto jsme spolu mile tajné rady držívali, a do domu Božího společně chodívali.
(6630, Kralic.překl. 1579-93, s. 515 – Ž 55, 12-14.)
12. (55:13) Nebo ne [nějaký] nepřítel útržky mi činil, sic jinak snesl bych [to;] ani ten, kdož mne nenávidí, pozdvihl se proti mně, nebo skryl bych se před ním:
13. (55:14) Ale ty, člověče mně rovný, vůdce můj a domácí můj;
14. (55:15) Ješto jsme spolu mile tajné rady držívali, [a] do domu Božího společně chodívali.

55:12 Indeed, ²³ it is not an enemy who insults me, or else I could bear it; it is not one who hates me who arrogantly taunts me,24 or else I could hide from him. 55:13 But it is you,25 a man like me,26 my close friend in whom I confided.27 55:14 We would share personal thoughts with each other;28 in God’s temple we would walk together among the crowd.

23tn Or „for.“
24tn Heb „[who] magnifies against me.“ See Pss 35:26; 38:16.
25sn It is you. The psalmist addresses the apparent ringleader of the opposition, an individual who was once his friend.
26tn Heb „a man according to my value,“ i.e., „a person such as I.“
27tn Heb „my close friend, one known by me.“
28tn Heb „who together we would make counsel sweet.“ The imperfect verbal forms here and in the next line draw attention to the ongoing nature of the actions (the so-called customary use of the imperfect). Their relationship was characterized by such intimacy and friendship. See IBHS 502-3 §31.2b.

12Wenn mich doch mein Feind schändete, wollte ich's leiden; und wenn mein Hasser wider mich pochte, wollte ich mich vor ihm verbergen.
13Du aber bist mein Geselle, mein Freund und mein Verwandter,
14die wir freundlich miteinander waren unter uns; wir wandelten im Hause Gottes unter der Menge.

13 Si c'était l'ennemi[d] qui venait m'insulter,
je le supporterais.
Si celui qui me hait[e] s'élevait contre moi,
je pourrais me cacher de lui.
14 Mais c'est toi, toi qui es un homme de mon rang,
toi, mon ami et mon intime,
15 avec qui j'échangeais des confidences,
quand nous allions ensemble avec la foule[f] dans la maison de Dieu...

12For it is (T)not an enemy who reproaches me,
Then I could bear it;
Nor is it one who hates me who (U)has exalted himself against me,
Then I could hide myself from him.
13But it is you, a man my equal,
My (V)companion and my (W)familiar friend;
14We who had sweet [c]fellowship together
(X)Walked in the house of God in the throng.

Sirach ()

Od nepřátel svých odděl se, a přátel svých šetř se.
(Apokryfy, Praha 1952, překlad Kralických, V. díl, Eccl.-Sirach 6, 13 – str. 221.)
Keep yourself far from your enemies, and be on guard toward your friends.
(The Apocrypha, Oxford Univ.Press, N.Y. 1977, p. 135 – Sirach 6,13.)

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (60)

Itaque dum incipit esse mentis tuae, interim hoc consilio sapientium utere, ut magis ad rem existimes pertinere, quis, quam quid acceperit.
(6307, Ad Lucilium epistulae morales I, Cambridge Mass. + London1979, LIX, p. 132.)
Therefore, while you are beginning to call your mind your own, meantime apply this maxim of the wise: consider that it is more important who receives a thing, than what it is he receives.
(tamtéž, str. 131, překlad: Richard M. Gummere.)
