O izvirniku

Besedilo
Petelina
Two cocks were fighting over the hens, and one defeated the other. The loser withdrew to a shady place and hid, while the victor flew up onto a high wall and crowed at the top of his voice. At once an eagle swooped down and snatched him away. From then on, the cock that had hidden in the shadows mated with the hens without fear.
The fable shows that the Lord opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

Ἀλεκτόρων δύο μαχομένων περὶ θηλειῶν ὀρνίθων, ὁ εἷς τὸν ἕτερον κατετροπώσατο. Καὶ ὁ μὲν ἡττηθεὶς εἰς τόπον κατάσκιον ἀπιὼν ἐκρύβη· ὁ δὲ νικήσας, εἰς ὕψος ἀρθεὶς καὶ ἐφʼ ὑψηλοῦ τοίχου στὰς, μεγαλοφώνως ἐβόησε. Καὶ παρευθὺς ἀετὸς καταπτὰς ἥρπασεν αὐτόν. Ὁ δʼ ἐν σκότῳ κεκρυμμένος ἀδεῶς ἔκτοτε ταῖς θηλείαις ἐπέβαινεν.
Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι κύριος ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται, ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσι χάριν.
