Ἐπάμεροι

ἐπάμεροι: τί δέ τις; τί δ᾽ οὔ τις; 

σκιᾶς ὄναρ
ἄνθρωπος.

Creatures of a day! What is a man?
What is he not? A dream of a shadow

στεγάσαι φρενὸς ἔλλοπος εἴσω

οὐδέ τι τοῦ παντὸς κενεὸν πέλει οὐδὲ περισσόν

The All hath neither Void nor Overflow

Νοῦς

τὰ μὲν ἄλλα παντὸς μοῖραν μετέχει͵ 

νοῦς δέ ἐστιν ἄπειρον καὶ αὐτοκρατὲς καὶ μέμεικται οὐδενὶ χρήματι͵ 

ἀλλὰ μόνος αὐτὸς ἐπ΄ ἐωυτοῦ ἐστιν.

All other things partake in a portion of everything, 

while Nous is infinite and self-ruled, and is mixed with nothing, 

but is alone, 

itself by itself.

Ἡράκλειτος

Ποταμοῖσι τοῖσι αὐτοῖσι ἐμβαίνομέν τε καὶ οὐκ ἐμβαίνομεν, 

εἶμέν τε καὶ οὐκ εἶμεν.

Into the same river we both step and do not step. 

We both are and are not.

ἀτραπὸν

. . . κορυφὰς ἑτέρας ἑτέρηισι προσάπτων

μύθων μὴ τελέειν ἀτραπὸν μίαν . . .

To join together diverse peaks of thought,
And not complete one road that has no turn.

ανύποπτον ο θάνατος

Άφοβον ο θεός,
ανύποπτον ο θάνατος
και ταγαθόν μεν εύκτητον,
το δε δεινόν ευκαρτέρητον
 .

Don't fear god,
Don't worry about death;
What is good is easy to get, and
What is terrible is easy to endure.

Epicurus

Σημεῖόν ἐστιν, οὗ μέρος οὐθέν

Σημεῖόν ἐστιν, οὗ μέρος οὐθέν. 

 

A point is that which has no part.

Zé Sousa vai-te lá embora, pá

Vai descansar, zé.

Tás as perder o controle,

já não te estás a portar bem.

Vai pra casa descansar.

Vai.

O Feio Tartuffo

Oui, mon frère, je suis un méchant, 

un coupable.

Un malheureux pécheur tout plein d'iniquité.

Ezequiel

Ora aconteceu no trigésimo ano, 

no quarto mês, 

no dia quinto do mês, 

que estando eu no meio dos cativos, 

junto ao rio Quebar, se abriram os céus, 

e eu tive visões de Deus.
