| 48 1 | Then the prophet Elijah arose like a fire, and his word burned like a torch. | Elijah. Sir.48.1-11 | Καὶ ἀνέστη Ηλιας προφήτης ὡς πῦρ, καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ ὡς λαμπὰς ἐκαίετο· |
| 2 | He brought a famine upon them, and by his zeal he made them few in number. | ὃς ἐπήγαγεν ἐπ' αὐτοὺς λιμὸν, καὶ τῷ ζήλῳ αὐτοῦ ὠλιγοποίησεν αὐτούς· | |
| 3 | By the word of the Lord he shut up the heavens, and also three times brought down fire. | ἐν λόγῳ κυρίου ἀνέσχεν οὐρανόν, κατήγαγεν οὕτως τρὶς πῦρ. | |
| 4 | How glorious you were, O Elijah, in your wondrous deeds! And who has the right to boast which you have? | ὡς ἐδοξάσθης, Ηλια, ἐν θαυμασίοις σου· καὶ τίς ὅμοιός σοι καυχᾶσθαι; | |
| 5 | You who raised a corpse from death and from Hades, by the word of the Most High; | ὁ ἐγείρας νεκρὸν ἐκ θανάτου καὶ ἐξ ᾅδου ἐν λόγῳ ὑψίστου· | |
| 6 | who brought kings down to destruction, and famous men from their beds; | ὁ καταγαγὼν βασιλεῖς εἰς ἀπώλειαν καὶ δεδοξασμένους ἀπὸ κλίνης αὐτῶν· | |
| 7 | who heard rebuke at Sinai and judgments of vengeance at Horeb; | ἀκούων ἐν Σινα ἐλεγμὸν καὶ ἐν Χωρηβ κρίματα ἐκδικήσεως· | |
| 8 | who anointed kings to inflict retribution, and prophets to succeed you. | ὁ χρίων βασιλεῖς εἰς ἀνταπόδομα, καὶ προφήτας διαδόχους μετ' αὐτόν· | |
| 9 | You who were taken up by a whirlwind of fire, in a chariot with horses of fire; | ὁ ἀναλημφθεὶς ἐν λαίλαπι πυρὸς ἐν ἅρματι ἵππων πυρίνων· | |
| 10 | you who are ready at the appointed time, it is written, to calm the wrath of God before it breaks out in fury, to turn the heart of the father to the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob. | ὁ καταγραφεὶς ἐν ἐλεγμοῖς εἰς καιροὺς, κοπάσαι ὀργὴν πρὸ θυμοῦ, ἐπιστρέψαι καρδίαν πατρὸς πρὸς υἱὸν καὶ καταστῆσαι φυλὰς Ιακωβ. | |
| 11 | Blessed are those who saw you, and those who have been adorned in love; for we also shall surely live. | μακάριοι οἱ ἰδόντες σε καὶ οἱ ἐν ἀγαπήσει κεκοιμημένοι· καὶ γὰρ ἡμεῖς ζωῇ ζησόμεθα. | |
