Sirach 45

KING JAMES BIBLE	VULGATA
1 And he brought out of him a merciful man, which found favour in the sight of all flesh, even Moses, beloved of God and men, whose memorial is blessed.	1 Dilectus Deo et hominibus Moyses, cujus memoria in benedictione est.
2 He made him like to the glorious saints, and magnified him, so that his enemies stood in fear of him.	2 Similem illum fecit in gloria sanctorum, et magnificavit eum in timore inimicorum, et in verbis suis monstra placavit.
3 By his words he caused the wonders to cease, and he made him glorious in the sight of kings, and gave him a commandment for his people, and shewed him part of his glory.	3 Glorificavit illum in conspectu regum, et jussit illi coram populo suo, et ostendit illi gloriam suam.
4 He sanctified him in his faithfuless and meekness, and chose him out of all men.	4 In fide et lenitate ipsius sanctum fecit illum, et elegit eum ex omni carne.
5 He made him to hear his voice, and brought him into the dark cloud, and gave him commandments before his face, even the law of life and knowledge, that he might teach Jacob his covenants, and Israel his judgments.	5 Audivit enim eum, et vocem ipsius, et induxit illum in nubem.
6 He exalted Aaron, an holy man like unto him, even his brother, of the tribe of Levi.	6 Et dedit illi coram præcepta, et legem vitæ et disciplinæ, docere Jacob testamentum suum, et judicia sua Israël.
7 An everlasting covenant he made with him and gave him the priesthood among the people; he beautified him with comely ornaments, and clothed him with a robe of glory.	7 Excelsum fecit Aaron fratrem ejus, et similem sibi, de tribu Levi.
8 He put upon him perfect glory; and strengthened him with rich garments, with breeches, with a long robe, and the ephod.	8 Statuit ei testamentum æternum, et dedit illi sacerdotium gentis, et beatificavit illum in gloria :
9 And he compassed him with pomegranates, and with many golden bells round about, that as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people;	9 et circumcinxit eum zona gloriæ, et induit eum stolam gloriæ, et coronavit eum in vasis virtutis.
10 With an holy garment, with gold, and blue silk, and purple, the work of the embroidere, with a breastplate of judgment, and with Urim and Thummim;	10 Circumpedes, et femoralia, et humerale posuit ei : et cinxit illum tintinnabulis aureis plurimis in gyro :
11 With twisted scarlet, the work of the cunning workman, with precious stones graven like seals, and set in gold, the work of the jeweller, with a writing engraved for a memorial, after the number of the tribes of Israel.	11 dare sonitum in incessu suo, auditum facere sonitum in templo in memoriam filiis gentis suæ.
12 He set a crown of gold upon the mitre, wherein was engraved Holiness, an ornament of honour, a costly work, the desires of the eyes, goodly and beautiful.	12 Stolam sanctam auro, et hyacintho, et purpura, opus textile viri sapientis, judicio et veritate præditi :
13 Before him there were none such, neither did ever any stranger put them on, but only his children and his children's children perpetually.	13 torto cocco opus artificis gemmis pretiosis figuratis in ligatura auri, et opere lapidarii sculptis, in memoriam secundum numerum tribuum Israël.
14 Their sacrifices shall be wholly consumed every day twice continually.	14 Corona aurea super mitram ejus expressa signo sanctitatis, et gloria honoris : opus virtutis, et desideria oculorum ornata.
15 Moses consecrated him, and anointed him with holy oil: this was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, and to his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, that they should minister unto him, and execute the office of the priesthood, and bless the people in his name.	15 Sic pulchra ante ipsum non fuerunt talia usque ad originem.
16 He chose him out of all men living to offer sacrifices to the Lord, incense, and a sweet savour, for a memorial, to make reconciliation for his people.	16 Non est indutus illa alienigena aliquis, sed tantum filii ipsius soli, et nepotes ejus per omne tempus.
17 He gave unto him his commandments, and authority in the statutes of judgments, that he should teach Jacob the testimonies, and inform Israel in his laws.	17 Sacrificia ipsius consumpta sunt igne quotidie.
18 Strangers conspired together against him, and maligned him in the wilderness, even the men that were of Dathan's and Abiron's side, and the congregation of Core, with fury and wrath.	18 Complevit Moyses manus ejus, et unxit illum oleo sancto.
19 This the Lord saw, and it displeased him, and in his wrathful indignation were they consumed: he did wonders upon them, to consume them with the fiery flame.	19 Factum est illi in testamentum æternum, et semini ejus, sicut dies cæli, fungi sacerdotio, et habere laudem, et glorificare populum suum in nomine ejus.
20 But he made Aaron more honourable, and gave him an heritage, and divided unto him the firstfruits of the increase; especially he prepared bread in abundance:	20 Ipsum elegit ab omni vivente, offerre sacrificium Deo, incensum, et bonum odorem, in memoriam placare pro populo suo :
21 For they eat of the sacrifices of the Lord, which he gave unto him and his seed.	21 et dedit illi in præceptis suis potestatem, in testamentis judiciorum : docere Jacob testimonia, et in lege sua lucem dare Israël.
22 Howbeit in the land of the people he had no inheritance, neither had he any portion among the people: for the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance.	22 Quia contra illum steterunt alieni, et propter invidiam circumdederunt illum homines in deserto, qui erant cum Dathan et Abiron, et congregatio Core in iracundia.
23 The third in glory is Phinees the son of Eleazar, because he had zeal in the fear of the Lord, and stood up with good courage of heart: when the people were turned back, and made reconciliation for Israel.	23 Vidit Dominus Deus, et non placuit illi, et consumpti sunt in impetu iracundiæ.
24 Therefore was there a covenant of peace made with him, that he should be the chief of the sanctuary and of his people, and that he and his posterity should have the dignity of the priesthood for ever:	24 Fecit illis monstra, et consumpsit illos in flamma ignis.
25 According to the covenant made with David son of Jesse, of the tribe of Juda, that the inheritance of the king should be to his posterity alone: so the inheritance of Aaron should also be unto his seed.	25 Et addidit Aaron gloriam, et dedit illi hæreditatem, et primitias frugum terræ divisit illi.
26 God give you wisdom in your heart to judge his people in righteousness, that their good things be not abolished, and that their glory may endure for ever.	26 Panem ipsis in primis paravit in satietatem : nam et sacrificia Domini edent, quæ dedit illi et semini ejus.
	27 Ceterum in terra gentes non hæreditabit, et pars non est illi in gente : ipse est enim pars ejus, et hæreditas.
	28 Phinees, filius Eleazari, tertius in gloria est, imitando eum in timore Domini,
	29 et stare in reverentia gentis : in bonitate et alacritate animæ suæ placuit Deo pro Israël.
	30 Ideo statuit illi testamentum pacis, principem sanctorum et gentis suæ, ut sit illi et semini ejus sacerdotii dignitas in æternum.
	31 Et testamentum David regi filio Jesse de tribu Juda, hæreditas ipsi et semini ejus : ut daret sapientiam in cor nostrum, judicare gentem suam in justitia, ne abolerentur bona ipsorum : et gloriam ipsorum in gentem eorum æternam fecit.
