 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLEEcclesiasticus:47LXX  

1 And after him Nathan rose up
to prophesy in the days of David.
Nathan. Sir.47.1Καὶ μετὰ τοῦτον ἀνέστη Ναθαν
προφητεύειν ἐν ἡμέραις Δαυιδ.
2 As the fat is selected from the peace offering,
so David was selected from the sons of Israel.
David. Sir.47.2-11ὥσπερ στέαρ ἀφωρισμένον ἀπὸ σωτηρίου,
οὕτως Δαυιδ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ.
3 He played with lions as with young goats,
and with bears as with lambs of the flock.
 ἐν λέουσιν ἔπαιξεν ὡς ἐν ἐρίφοις,
καὶ ἐν ἄρκοις ὡς ἐν ἄρνασι προβάτων.
4 In his youth did he not kill a giant,
and take away reproach from the people,
when he lifted his hand with a stone in the sling
and struck down the boasting of Goliath?
 ἐν νεότητι αὐτοῦ οὐχὶ ἀπέκτεινεν γίγαντα,
καὶ ἐξῆρεν ὀνειδισμὸν ἐκ λαοῦ
ἐν τῷ ἐπᾶραι χεῖρα ἐν λίθῳ σφενδόνης
καὶ καταβαλεῖν γαυρίαμα τοῦ Γολιαθ;
5 For he appealed to the Lord, the Most High,
and he gave him strength in his right hand
to slay a man mighty in war,
to exalt the power of his people.
 ἐπεκαλέσατο γὰρ Κύριον τὸν ὕψιστον,
καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ κράτος,
ἐξᾶραι ἄνθρωπον δυνατὸν ἐν πολέμῳ·
ἀνυψῶσαι κέρας λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.
6 So they glorified him for his ten thousands,
and praised him for the blessings of the Lord,
when the glorious diadem was bestowed upon him.
 οὕτως ἐν μυριάσιν ἐδόξασαν αὐτὸν,
καὶ ᾔνεσαν αὐτὸν ἐν εὐλογίαις Κυρίου
ἐν τῷ φέρεσθαι αὐτῷ διάδημα δόξης·
7 For he wiped out his enemies on every side,
and annihilated his adversaries the Philistines;
he crushed their power even to this day.
 ἐξέτριψεν γὰρ ἐχθροὺς κυκλόθεν,
καὶ ἐξουδένωσεν Φυλιστιιμ τοὺς ὑπεναντίους,
ἕως σήμερον συνέτριψεν αὐτῶν κέρας.
8 In all that he did he gave thanks
to the Holy One, the Most High, with ascriptions of glory;
he sang praise with all his heart,
and he loved his Maker.
 ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ αὐτοῦ ἔδωκεν ἐξομολόγησιν
ἁγίῳ ὑψίστῳ ῥήματι δόξης·
ἐν πάσῃ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ ὕμνησεν
καὶ ἠγάπησεν τὸν ποιήσαντα αὐτόν.
9 He placed singers before the altar,
to make sweet melody with their voices.
 καὶ ἔστησεν ψαλτῳδοὺς κατέναντι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου,
καὶ ἐξ ἠχοῦς αὐτῶν γλυκαίνειν μέλη·
10 He gave beauty to the feasts,
and arranged their times throughout the year,
while they praised God's holy name,
and the sanctuary resounded from early morning.
 ἔδωκεν ἐν ἑορταῖς εὐπρέπειαν,
καὶ ἐκόσμησεν καιροὺς μέχρι συντελείας,
ἐν τῷ αἰνεῖν αὐτοὺς τὸ ἅγιον ὄνομα αὐτοῦ
καὶ ἀπὸ πρωίας ἠχεῖν τὸ ἁγίασμα.
11 The Lord took away his sins,
and exalted his power for ever;
he gave him the covenant of kings
and a throne of glory in Israel.
 Κύριος ἀφεῖλεν τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ,
καὶ ἀνύψωσεν εἰς αἰῶνα τὸ κέρας αὐτοῦ,
καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ διαθήκην βασιλέων
καὶ θρόνον δόξης ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ.
12 After him rose up a wise son
who fared amply because of him;
Solomon. Sir.47.12-22Μετὰ τοῦτον ἀνέστη υἱὸς ἐπιστήμων,
καὶ δι' αὐτὸν κατέλυσεν ἐν πλατυσμῷ·
13 Solomon reigned in days of peace,
and God gave him rest on every side,
that he might build a house for his name
and prepare a sanctuary to stand for ever.
 Σαλωμων ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ἡμέραις εἰρήνης,
ᾧ ὁ θεὸς κατέπαυσεν κυκλόθεν,
ἵνα στήσῃ οἶκον ἐπ' ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ
καὶ ἑτοιμάσῃ ἁγίασμα εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
14 How wise you became in your youth!
You overflowed like a river with understanding.
 ὡς ἐσοφίσθης ἐν νεότητί σου,
καὶ ἐνεπλήσθης ὡς ποταμὸς συνέσεως.
15 Your soul covered the earth,
and you filled it with parables and riddles.
 γῆν ἐπεκάλυψεν ἡ ψυχή σου,
καὶ ἐνέπλησας ἐν παραβολαῖς αἰνιγμάτων·
16 Your name reached to far-off islands,
and you were loved for your peace.
 εἰς νήσους πόρρω ἀφίκετο τὸ ὄνομά σου,
καὶ ἠγαπήθης ἐν τῇ εἰρήνῃ σου·
17 For your songs and proverbs and parables,
and for your interpretations, the countries marveled at you.
 ἐν ᾠδαῖς καὶ παροιμίαις καὶ παραβολαῖς
καὶ ἐν ἑρμηνείαις ἀπεθαύμασάν σε χῶραι.
18 In the name of the Lord God,
who is called the God of Israel,
you gathered gold like tin
and amassed silver like lead.
 ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ,
τοῦ ἐπικεκλημένου θεοῦ Ισραηλ,
συνήγαγες ὡς κασσίτερον τὸ χρυσίον,
καὶ ὡς μόλιβον ἐπλήθυνας ἀργύριον.
19 But you laid your loins beside women,
and through your body you were brought into subjection.
 παρανέκλινας τὰς λαγόνας σου γυναιξὶν
καὶ ἐνεξουσιάσθης ἐν τῷ σώματί σου·
20 You put stain upon your honour,
and defiled your posterity,
so that you brought wrath upon your children
and they were grieved at your folly,
 ἔδωκας μῶμον ἐν τῇ δόξῃ σου,
καὶ ἐβεβήλωσας τὸ σπέρμα σου,
ἐπαγαγεῖν ὀργὴν ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα σου,
καὶ κατανυγῆναι ἐπὶ τῇ ἀφροσύνῃ σου,
21 so that the sovereignty was divided
and a disobedient kingdom arose out of Ephraim.
 γενέσθαι δίχα τυραννίδα
καὶ ἐξ Εφραιμ ἄρξαι βασιλείαν ἀπειθῆ.
22 But the Lord will never give up his mercy,
nor cause any of his works to perish;
he will never blot out the descendants of his chosen one,
nor destroy the posterity of him who loved him;
so he gave a remnant to Jacob,
and to David a root of his stock.
 ὁ δὲ Κύριος οὐ μὴ καταλίπῃ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ,
καὶ οὐ μὴ διαφθείρῃ ἀπὸ τῶν λόγων αὐτοῦ,
οὐδὲ μὴ ἐξαλείψῃ ἐκλεκτοῦ αὐτοῦ ἔκγονα,
καὶ σπέρμα τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντος αὐτὸν οὐ μὴ ἐξάρῃ·
καὶ τῷ Ιακωβ ἔδωκεν κατάλειμμα,
καὶ τῷ Δαυιδ ἐξ αὐτοῦ ῥίζαν.
23 Solomon rested with his fathers,
and left behind him one of his sons,
ample in folly and lacking in understanding,
Rehoboam, whose policy caused the people to revolt.
Also Jeroboam the son of Nebat,
who caused Israel to sin and gave to Ephraim a sinful way.
Rehoboam & Jeroboam. Sir.47.23-25Καὶ ἀνεπαύσατο Σαλωμων μετὰ τῶν πατέρων,
αὐτοῦ καὶ κατέλιπεν μετ' αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτοῦ
λαοῦ ἀφροσύνην καὶ ἐλασσούμενον συνέσει
Ροβοαμ, ὃς ἀπέστησεν λαὸν ἐκ βουλῆς αὐτοῦ.
24 Their sins became exceedingly many,
so as to remove them from their land.
 καὶ Ιεροβοαμ υἱὸς Ναβατ,
ὃς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ
καὶ ἔδωκεν τῷ Εφραιμ ὁδὸν ἁμαρτίας·
καὶ ἐπληθύνθησαν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτῶν σφόδρα,
ἀποστῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν·
25 For they sought out every sort of wickedness,
till vengeance came upon them.
 καὶ πᾶσαν πονηρίαν ἐξεζήτησαν,
ἕως ἐκδίκησις ἔλθῃ ἐπ' αὐτούς.

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
