O izvirniku

Besedilo
Ose, jerebice in kmet
Some wasps and partridges, parched with thirst, came to a farmer and asked him for a drink, promising to repay him for the water: the partridges would dig around his vines, while the wasps would patrol them and drive off thieves with their stings. But the farmer said, “I have two oxen that promise nothing yet do all the work. It is better, then, to give the water to them than to you.” The fable applies to scoundrels who promise to help but do great harm instead.

Σφῆκες καὶ πέρδικες, δίψῃ συνεχόμενοι, πρὸς γεωργὸν ἠλθον, παρʼ αὐτοῦ αἰτοῦντες πιεῖν, ἐπαγγελλόμενοι ἀντὶ τοῦ ὕδατος ταύτην τὴν χάριν ἀποδώσειν· οἱ μὲν πέρδικες, σκάπτειν τὰς ἀμπέλους· οἱ δὲ σφῆκες, κύκλῳ περιιόντες τοῖς κέντροις ἀποσοβεῖν τούς κλέπτας. Ὁ δὲ γεωργὸς ἔφη· ,,ἀλλʼ ἔμοιγέ εἰσι δύο βόες, οἵ μηδὲν ἐπαγγελλόμενοι πάντα ποιοῦσιν· ἅμεινον οὖν ἐστιν ἐκείνοις δοῦναι, ἤπερ ὑμῖν.“
Ὁ μῦθος πρὸς ἄνδρας ἐξώλεις, ὠφελεῖν μὲν ἐπαγγελλομένους, βλάπτοντας δὲ μεγάλα.
