| 2 | As the fat is selected from the peace offering, so David was selected from the sons of Israel. | David. Sir.47.2-11 | ὥσπερ 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. | |
