Sirach 43

KING JAMES BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 The pride of the height, the clear firmament, the beauty of heaven, with his glorious shew;	1 γαυριαμα υψους στερεωμα καθαριοτητος ειδος ουρανου εν οραματι δοξης
2 The sun when it appeareth, declaring at his rising a marvellous instrument, the work of the most High:	2 ηλιος εν οπτασια διαγγελλων εν εξοδω σκευος θαυμαστον εργον υψιστου
3 At noon it parcheth the country, and who can abide the burning heat thereof?	3 εν μεσημβρια αυτου αναξηραινει χωραν και εναντιον καυματος αυτου τις υποστησεται
4 A man blowing a furnace is in works of heat, but the sun burneth the mountains three times more; breathing out fiery vapours, and sending forth bright beams, it dimmeth the eyes.	4 καμινον φυσων εν εργοις καυματος τριπλασιως ηλιος εκκαιων ορη ατμιδας πυρωδεις εκφυσων και εκλαμπων ακτινας αμαυροι οφθαλμους
5 Great is the Lord that made it; and at his commandment runneth hastily.	5 μεγας κυριος ο ποιησας αυτον και εν λογοις αυτου κατεσπευσεν πορειαν
6 He made the moon also to serve in her season for a declaration of times, and a sign of the world.	6 και η σεληνη εν πασιν εις καιρον αυτης αναδειξιν χρονων και σημειον αιωνος
7 From the moon is the sign of feasts, a light that decreaseth in her perfection.	7 απο σεληνης σημειον εορτης φωστηρ μειουμενος επι συντελειας
8 The month is called after her name, increasing wonderfully in her changing, being an instrument of the armies above, shining in the firmament of heaven;	8 μην κατα το ονομα αυτης εστιν αυξανομενος θαυμαστως εν αλλοιωσει σκευος παρεμβολων εν υψει εν στερεωματι ουρανου εκλαμπων
9 The beauty of heaven, the glory of the stars, an ornament giving light in the highest places of the Lord.	9 καλλος ουρανου δοξα αστρων κοσμος φωτιζων εν υψιστοις κυριου
10 At the commandment of the Holy One they will stand in their order, and never faint in their watches.	10 εν λογοις αγιου στησονται κατα κριμα και ου μη εκλυθωσιν εν φυλακαις αυτων
11 Look upon the rainbow, and praise him that made it; very beautiful it is in the brightness thereof.	11 ιδε τοξον και ευλογησον τον ποιησαντα αυτο σφοδρα ωραιον εν τω αυγασματι αυτου
12 It compasseth the heaven about with a glorious circle, and the hands of the most High have bended it.	12 εγυρωσεν ουρανον εν κυκλωσει δοξης χειρες υψιστου ετανυσαν αυτο
13 By his commandment he maketh the snow to fall aplace, and sendeth swiftly the lightnings of his judgment.	13 προσταγματι αυτου κατεσπευσεν χιονα και ταχυνει αστραπας κριματος αυτου
14 Through this the treasures are opened: and clouds fly forth as fowls.	14 δια τουτο ηνεωχθησαν θησαυροι και εξεπτησαν νεφελαι ως πετεινα
15 By his great power he maketh the clouds firm, and the hailstones are broken small.	15 εν μεγαλειω αυτου ισχυσεν νεφελας και διεθρυβησαν λιθοι χαλαζης
16 At his sight the mountains are shaken, and at his will the south wind bloweth.	16 και εν οπτασια αυτου σαλευθησεται ορη εν θεληματι αυτου πνευσεται νοτος
17 The noise of the thunder maketh the earth to tremble: so doth the northern storm and the whirlwind: as birds flying he scattereth the snow, and the falling down thereof is as the lighting of grasshoppers:	17 φωνη βροντης αυτου ωνειδισεν γην και καταιγις βορεου και συστροφη πνευματος
18 The eye marvelleth at the beauty of the whiteness thereof, and the heart is astonished at the raining of it.	18 ως πετεινα καθιπταμενα πασσει χιονα και ως ακρις καταλυουσα η καταβασις αυτης καλλος λευκοτητος αυτης εκθαυμασει οφθαλμος και επι του υετου αυτης εκστησεται καρδια
19 The hoarfrost also as salt he poureth on the earth, and being congealed, it lieth on the top of sharp stakes.	19 και παχνην ως αλα επι γης χεει και παγεισα γινεται σκολοπων ακρα
20 When the cold north wind bloweth, and the water is congealed into ice, it abideth upon every gathering together of water, and clotheth the water as with a breastplate.	20 ψυχρος ανεμος βορεης πνευσει και παγησεται κρυσταλλος εφ' υδατος επι πασαν συναγωγην υδατος καταλυσει και ως θωρακα ενδυσεται το υδωρ
21 It devoureth the mountains, and burneth the wilderness, and consumeth the grass as fire.	21 καταφαγεται ορη και ερημον εκκαυσει και αποσβεσει χλοην ως πυρ
22 A present remedy of all is a mist coming speedily, a dew coming after heat refresheth.	22 ιασις παντων κατα σπουδην ομιχλη δροσος απαντωσα απο καυσωνος ιλαρωσει
23 By his counsel he appeaseth the deep, and planteth islands therein.	23 λογισμω αυτου εκοπασεν αβυσσον και εφυτευσεν εν αυτη νησους
24 They that sail on the sea tell of the danger thereof; and when we hear it with our ears, we marvel thereat.	24 οι πλεοντες την θαλασσαν διηγουνται τον κινδυνον αυτης και ακοαις ωτιων ημων θαυμαζομεν
25 For therein be strange and wondrous works, variety of all kinds of beasts and whales created.	25 και εκει τα παραδοξα και θαυμασια εργα ποικιλια παντος ζωου κτισις κητων
26 By him the end of them hath prosperous success, and by his word all things consist.	26 δι' αυτον ευοδοι αγγελος αυτου και εν λογω αυτου συγκειται τα παντα
27 We may speak much, and yet come short: wherefore in sum, he is all.	27 πολλα ερουμεν και ου μη αφικωμεθα και συντελεια λογων το παν εστιν αυτος
28 How shall we be able to magnify him? for he is great above all his works.	28 δοξαζοντες που ισχυσομεν αυτος γαρ ο μεγας παρα παντα τα εργα αυτου
29 The Lord is terrible and very great, and marvellous is his power.	29 φοβερος κυριος και σφοδρα μεγας και θαυμαστη η δυναστεια αυτου
30 When ye glorify the Lord, exalt him as much as ye can; for even yet will he far exceed: and when ye exalt him, put forth all your strength, and be not weary; for ye can never go far enough.	30 δοξαζοντες κυριον υψωσατε καθ' οσον αν δυνησθε υπερεξει γαρ και ετι και υψουντες αυτον πληθυνατε εν ισχυι μη κοπιατε ου γαρ μη αφικησθε
31 Who hath seen him, that he might tell us? and who can magnify him as he is?	31 τις εορακεν αυτον και εκδιηγησεται και τις μεγαλυνει αυτον καθως εστιν
32 There are yet hid greater things than these be, for we have seen but a few of his works.	32 πολλα αποκρυφα εστιν μειζονα τουτων ολιγα γαρ εωρακαμεν των εργων αυτου
33 For the Lord hath made all things; and to the godly hath he given wisdom.	33 παντα γαρ εποιησεν ο κυριος και τοις ευσεβεσιν εδωκεν σοφιαν
