DB1 | Enoch. Wis.4.10-15 | KNSB Contents | notes| 4 | katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE | Passage | Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint) |
| 10 | There was one who pleased God and was loved by him, and while living among sinners he was taken up. | Enoch. Wis.4.10-15 | εὐάρεστος θεῷ γενόμενος ἠγαπήθη, καὶ ζῶν μεταξὺ ἁμαρτωλῶν μετετέθη· |
| 11 | He was caught up lest evil change his understanding or guile deceive his soul. | ἡρπάγη, μὴ κακία ἀλλάξῃ σύνεσιν αὐτοῦ, ἢ δόλος ἀπατήσῃ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ· | |
| 12 | For the fascination of wickedness obscures what is good, and roving desire perverts the innocent mind. | βασκανία γὰρ φαυλότητος ἀμαυροῖ τὰ καλά, καὶ ῥεμβασμὸς ἐπιθυμίας μεταλλεύει νοῦν ἄκακον. | |
| 13 | Being perfected in a short time, he fulfilled long years; | τελειωθεὶς ἐν ὀλίγῳ ἐπλήρωσεν χρόνους μακρούς· | |
| 14 | for his soul was pleasing to the Lord, therefore he took him quickly from the midst of wickedness. | ἀρεστὴ γὰρ ἦν κυρίῳ ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ, διὰ τοῦτο ἔσπευσεν ἐκ μέσου πονηρίας· οἱ δὲ λαοὶ ἰδόντες καὶ μὴ νοήσαντες, μηδὲ θέντες ἐπὶ διανοίᾳ τὸ τοιοῦτο, | |
| 15 | Yet the peoples saw and did not understand, nor take such a thing to heart, that God's grace and mercy are with his elect, and he watches over his holy ones. | ὅτι χάρις καὶ ἔλεος ἐν τοῖς ἐκλεκτοῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπισκοπὴ ἐν τοῖς ὁσίοις αὐτοῦ. | |
