Whereas many great teachings have been given to us through the law and the prophets | ECCLESIASTICUS. THE WISDOM OF JOSHUA, SON OF SIRACH. Forward. Sir.Intro.1-36 | Πολλῶν καὶ μεγάλων ἡμῖν διὰ τοῦ νόμου καὶ τῶν προφητῶν |
| 2 |
and the others that followed them, | | καὶ τῶν ἄλλων τῶν κατ' αὐτοὺς ἠκολουθηκότων δεδο μένων, |
| 3 |
on account of which we should praise Israel for instruction and wisdom; | | ὑπὲρ ὧν δέον ἐστὶν ἐπαινεῖν τὸν Ισραηλ παιδείας καὶ σοφίας, |
| 4 |
and since it is necessary not only that the readers themselves should acquire understanding | | καὶ ὡς οὐ μόνον αὐτοὺς τοὺς ἀναγινώσκοντας δέον ἐστὶν ἐπιστήμονας γίνεσθαι, |
| 5 |
but also that those who love learning should be able to help the outsiders | | ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῖς ἐκτὸς δύνασθαι τοὺς φιλομαθοῦντας χρη σίμους εἶναι |
| 6 |
by both speaking and writing, | | καὶ λέγοντας καὶ γράφοντας, |
| 7 |
my grandfather Jesus, after devoting himself | | ὁ πάππος μου Ἰησοῦς ἐπὶ πλεῖον ἑαυτὸν δοὺς |
| 8 |
especially to the reading of the law | | εἴς τε τὴν τοῦ νόμου |
| 9 |
and the prophets | | καὶ τῶν προφητῶν |
| 10 |
and the other books of our fathers, | | καὶ τῶν ἄλλων πατρίων βιβλίων ἀνάγνωσιν |
| 11 |
and after acquiring considerable proficiency in them, | | καὶ ἐν τούτοις ἱκανὴν ἕξιν περιποιησάμενος |
| 12 |
was himself also led to write something pertaining to instruction and wisdom, | | προήχθη καὶ αὐτὸς συγγράψαι τι τῶν εἰς παιδείαν καὶ σοφίαν ἀνηκόντων, |
| 13 |
in order that, by becoming conversant with this also, | | ὅπως οἱ φιλομαθεῖς καὶ τούτων ἔνοχοι γενόμενοι |
| 14 |
those who love learning should make even greater progress in living according to the law. | | πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἐπιπροσθῶσιν διὰ τῆς ἐννόμου βιώσεως. |
| 15 |
You are urged therefore | | Παρακέκλησθε οὖν |
| 16 |
to read with good will and attention, | | μετ' εὐνοίας καὶ προσοχῆς |
| 17 |
and to be indulgent in cases where, | | τὴν ἀνάγνωσιν ποιεῖσθαι |
| 18 |
despite our diligent labour | | καὶ συγγνώμην ἔχειν |
| 19 |
in translating, | | ἐφ' οἷς ἂν δοκῶμεν |
| 20 |
we may seem to have rendered some phrases imperfectly. | | τῶν κατὰ τὴν ἑρμηνείαν πεφιλοπονημένων τισὶν τῶν λέξεων ἀδυναμεῖν· |
| 21 |
For what was originally | | οὐ γὰρ ἰσοδυναμεῖ |
| 22 |
expressed in Hebrew does not have exactly the same sense when translated into another language. | | αὐτὰ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς Εβραιστὶ λεγόμενα καὶ ὅταν μεταχθῇ εἰς ἑτέραν γλῶσσαν· |
| 23 |
Not only this work, | | οὐ μόνον δὲ ταῦτα, |
| 24 |
but even the law itself, the prophecies, | | ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ νόμος καὶ αἱ προφητεῖαι |
| 25 |
and the rest of the books | | καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν βιβλίων |
| 26 |
differ not a little as originally expressed. | | οὐ μικρὰν ἔχει τὴν διαφορὰν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς λεγόμενα. |
| 27 |
When I came to Egypt in the thirty-eighth year of the reign of Euergetes | | Ἑν γὰρ τῷ ὀγδόῳ καὶ τριακοστῷ ἔτει ἐπὶ τοῦ Εὐεργέτου βασιλέως |
| 28 |
and stayed for some time, | | παραγενηθεὶς εἰς Αἴγυπτον καὶ συγχρονίσας |
| 29 |
I found opportunity for no little instruction. | | εὑρὼν οὐ μικρᾶς παιδείας ἀφόμοιον |
| 30 |
It seemed highly necessary that I should myself devote some pains and labour to the translation of the following book, | | ἀναγκαιότατον ἐθέμην καὶ αὐτός τινα προσενέγκασθαι σπου δὴν καὶ φιλοπονίαν τοῦ μεθερμηνεῦσαι τήνδε τὴν βίβλον |
| 31 |
using in that period of time | | πολλὴν ἀγρυπνίαν καὶ ἐπιστήμην προσενεγκάμενος |
| 32 |
great watchfulness and skill | | ἐν τῷ διαστήματι τοῦ χρόνου |
| 33 |
in order to complete and publish the book | | πρὸς τὸ ἐπὶ πέρας ἀγαγόντα τὸ βιβλίον ἐκδόσθαι |
| 34 |
for those living abroad who wished to gain learning, | | καὶ τοῖς ἐν τῇ παροικίᾳ βουλομένοις φιλομαθεῖν |
| 35 |
being prepared in character | | προκατασκευαζομένους τὰ ἤθη |
| 36 |
to live according to the law. | | ἐννόμως βιοτεύειν. |
