| 46 1 | Joshua the son of Nun was mighty in war, and was the successor of Moses in prophesying. He became, in accordance with his name, a great saviour of God's elect, to take vengeance on the enemies that rose against them, so that he might give Israel its inheritance. | Joshua. Sir.46.1-6 | Κραταιὸς ἐν πολέμῳ Ἰησοῦς Ναυη, καὶ διάδοχος Μωυσῆ ἐν προφητείαις, ὃς ἐγένετο κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ μέγας ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ, ἐκδικῆσαι ἐπεγειρομένους ἐχθρούς, ὅπως κατακληρονομήσῃ τὸν Ισραηλ. |
| 2 | How glorious he was when he lifted his hands and stretched out his sword against the cities! | ὡς ἐδοξάσθη ἐν τῷ ἐπᾶραι χεῖρας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐκτεῖναι ῥομφαίαν ἐπὶ πόλεις. | |
| 3 | Who before him ever stood so firm? For he waged the wars of the Lord. | τίς πρότερος αὐτοῦ οὕτως ἔστη; τοὺς γὰρ πολέμους κυρίου αὐτὸς ἐπήγαγεν. | |
| 4 | Was not the sun held back by his hand? And did not one day become as long as two? | οὐχὶ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἐνεποδίσθη ὁ ἥλιος, καὶ μία ἡμέρα ἐγενήθη πρὸς δύο; | |
| 5 | He called upon the Most High, the Mighty One, when enemies pressed him on every side, | ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν ὕψιστον δυνάστην ἐν τῷ θλῖψαι αὐτὸν ἐχθροὺς κυκλόθεν, καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτοῦ μέγας Κύριος ἐν λίθοις χαλάζης δυνάμεως κραταιᾶς· | |
| 6 | and the great Lord answered him with hailstones of mighty power. He hurled down war upon that nation, and at the descent of Beth-horon he destroyed those who resisted, so that the nations might know his armament, that he was fighting in the sight of the Lord; for he wholly followed the Mighty One. | κατέρραξεν ἐπ' ἔθνος πόλεμον, καὶ ἐν καταβάσει ἀπώλεσεν ἀνθεστηκότας, ἵνα γνῶσιν ἔθνη πανοπλίαν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐναντίον κυρίου ὁ πόλεμος αὐτοῦ. | |
