| 1 | Let us now praise famous men, and our fathers in their generations. | The glory of God in history. Sir.44.1-15 | Πατέρων ὕμνος. Αἰνέσωμεν δὴ ἄνδρας ἐνδόξους καὶ τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν τῇ γενέσει· | |
| 2 | The Lord apportioned to them great glory, his majesty from the beginning. | πολλὴν δόξαν ἔκτισεν ὁ κύριος, τὴν μεγαλωσύνην αὐτοῦ ἀπ' αἰῶνος. | ||
| 3 | There were those who ruled in their kingdoms, and were men renowned for their power, giving counsel by their understanding, and proclaiming prophecies; | κυριεύοντες ἐν ταῖς βασιλείαις αὐτῶν, καὶ ἄνδρες ὀνομαστοὶ ἐν δυνάμει· βουλεύοντες ἐν συνέσει αὐτῶν, ἀπηγγελκότες ἐν προφητείαις· | ||
| 4 | leaders of the people in their deliberations and in understanding of learning for the people, wise in their words of instruction; | ἡγούμενοι λαοῦ ἐν διαβουλίοις καὶ συνέσει γραμματείας λαοῦ, σοφοὶ λόγοι ἐν παιδείᾳ αὐτῶν· | ||
| 5 | those who composed musical tunes, and set forth verses in writing; | ἐκζητοῦντες μέλη μουσικῶν, καὶ διηγούμενοι ἔπη ἐν γραφῇ· | ||
| 6 | rich men furnished with resources, living peaceably in their habitations - | ἄνδρες πλούσιοι κεχορηγημένοι ἰσχύι, εἰρηνεύοντες ἐν κατοικίαις αὐτῶν· | ||
| 7 | all these were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of their times. | πάντες οὗτοι ἐν γενεαῖς ἐδοξάσθησαν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτῶν καύχημα. | ||
| 8 | There are some of them who have left a name, so that men declare their praise. | εἰσὶν αὐτῶν οἳ κατέλιπον ὄνομα τοῦ ἐκδιηγήσασθαι ἐπαίνους· | ||
| 9 | And there are some who have no memorial, who have perished as though they had not lived; they have become as though they had not been born, and so have their children after them. | καὶ εἰσὶν ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν μνημόσυνον καὶ ἀπώλοντο ὡς οὐχ ὑπάρξαντες, καὶ ἐγένοντο ὡς οὐ γεγονότες, καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν μετ' αὐτούς. | ||
| 10 | But these were men of mercy, whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten; | ἀλλ' ἢ οὗτοι ἄνδρες ἐλέους, ὧν αἱ δικαιοσύναι οὐκ ἐπελήσθησαν· | ||
| 11 | their prosperity will remain with their descendants, and their inheritance to their children's children. | μετὰ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτῶν διαμενεῖ, ἀγαθὴ κληρονομία ἔκγονα αὐτῶν· | ||
| 12 | Their descendants stand by the covenants; their children also, for their sake. | ἐν ταῖς διαθήκαις ἔστη τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν δι' αὐτούς· | ||
| 13 | Their posterity will continue for ever, and their glory will not be blotted out. | ἕως αἰῶνος μενεῖ σπέρμα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἡ δόξα αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐξαλειφθήσεται· | ||
| 14 | Their bodies were buried in peace, and their name lives to all generations. | τὰ σώματα αὐτῶν ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἐτάφη, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ζῇ εἰς γενεάς· | ||
| 15 | Peoples will declare their wisdom, and the congregation proclaims their praise. | σοφίαν αὐτῶν διηγήσονται λαοί, καὶ τὸν ἔπαινον ἐξαγγέλλει ἐκκλησία. | ||
| 16 | Enoch pleased the Lord, and was taken up; he was an example of repentance to all generations. | Enoch. Sir.44.16 | Ενωχ εὐηρέστησεν Κυρίῳ καὶ μετετέθη, ὑπόδειγμα μετανοίας ταῖς γενεαῖς. | |
| 17 | Noah was found perfect and righteous; in the time of wrath he was taken in exchange; therefore a remnant was left to the earth when the flood came. | Noah. Sir.44.17-18 | Νωε εὑρέθη τέλειος δίκαιος, ἐν καιρῷ ὀργῆς ἐγένετο ἀντάλλαγμα· διὰ τοῦτον ἐγενήθη κατάλειμμα τῇ γῇ, ὅτε ἐγένετο κατακλυσμός· | |
| 18 | Everlasting covenants were made with him that all flesh should not be blotted out by a flood. | διαθῆκαι αἰῶνος ἐτέθησαν πρὸς αὐτόν, ἵνα μὴ ἐξαλειφθῇ κατακλυσμῷ πᾶσα σάρξ. | ||
| 19 | Abraham was the great father of a multitude of nations, and no one has been found like him in glory; | Abraham. Sir.44.19-21 | Αβρααμ μέγας πατὴρ πλήθους ἐθνῶν, καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθη ὅμοιος ἐν τῇ δόξῃ· | |
| 20 | he kept the law of the Most High, and was taken into covenant with him; he established the covenant in his flesh, and when he was tested he was found faithful. | ὃς συνετήρησεν νόμον Ὑψίστου, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν διαθήκῃ μετ' αὐτοῦ· ἐν σαρκὶ αὐτοῦ ἔστησεν διαθήκην, καὶ ἐν πειρασμῷ εὑρέθη πιστός· | ||
| 21 | Therefore the Lord assured him by an oath that the nations would be blessed through his posterity; that he would multiply him like the dust of the earth, and exalt his posterity like the stars, and cause them to inherit from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth. | διὰ τοῦτο ἐν ὅρκῳ ἔστησεν αὐτῷ ἐνευλογηθῆναι ἔθνη ἐν σπέρματι αὐτοῦ, πληθῦναι αὐτὸν ὡς χοῦν τῆς γῆς, καὶ ὡς ἄστρα ἀνυψῶσαι τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ καὶ κατακληρονομῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ θαλάσσης ἕως θαλάσσης καὶ ἀπὸ ποταμοῦ ἕως ἄκρου τῆς γῆς. | ||
| 22 | To Isaac also he gave the same assurance for the sake of Abraham his father. | Isaac & Jacob. Sir.44.22-23 | καὶ ἐν τῷ Ισαακ ἔστησεν οὕτως δι' Αβρααμ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ. | |
| 23 | The blessing of all men and the covenant he made to rest upon the head of Jacob; he acknowledged him with his blessings, and gave him his inheritance; he determined his portions, and distributed them among twelve tribes. | εὐλογίαν πάντων ἀνθρώπων καὶ διαθήκην, κατέπαυσεν ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν Ιακωβ· ἐπέγνω αὐτὸν ἐν εὐλογίαις αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ἐν κληρονομίᾳ· καὶ διέστειλεν μερίδας αὐτοῦ, ἐν φυλαῖς ἐμέρισεν δέκα δύο. | ||
