49 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint)
49 1The memory of Josiah is like a blending of incense
prepared by the art of the perfumer;
it is sweet as honey to every mouth,
and like music at a banquet of wine.
Josiah. Sir.49.1-3Μνημόσυνον Ιωσιου εἰς σύνθεσιν θυμιάματος,
ἐσκευασμένον ἔργῳ μυρεψοῦ·
ἐν παντὶ στόματι ὡς μέλι γλυκανθήσεται,
καὶ ὡς μουσικὰ ἐν συμποσίῳ οἴνου.
2He was led aright in converting the people,
and took away the abominations of iniquity.
 αὐτὸς κατευθύνθη ἐν ἐπιστροφῇ λαοῦ,
καὶ ἐξῆρεν βδελύγματα ἀνομίας·
3He set his heart upon the Lord;
in the days of wicked men he strengthened godliness.
 κατεύθυνεν πρὸς κύριον τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ,
ἐν ἡμέραις ἀνόμων κατίσχυσεν τὴν εὐσέβειαν.
Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
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 used the name 'Yahweh'.
(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. Any mismatches, truncated verses, other mistakes? Please e-mail me.
