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.
