Sirach 46

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Valiant leader was JOSHUA, son of Nun, assistant to Moses in the prophetic office, Formed to be, as his name implies, the great savior of God's chosen ones, To punish the enemy and to win the inheritance for Israel.	1 κραταιος εν πολεμω ιησους ναυη και διαδοχος μωυση εν προφητειαις ος εγενετο κατα το ονομα αυτου μεγας επι σωτηρια εκλεκτων αυτου εκδικησαι επεγειρομενους εχθρους οπως κατακληρονομηση τον ισραηλ
2 What glory was his when he raised his arm, to brandish his javelin against the city!	2 ως εδοξασθη εν τω επαραι χειρας αυτου και εν τω εκτειναι ρομφαιαν επι πολεις
3 And who could withstand him when he fought the battles of the LORD?	3 τις προτερος αυτου ουτως εστη τους γαρ πολεμους κυριου αυτος επηγαγεν
4 Did he not by his power stop the sun, so that one day became two?	4 ουχι εν χειρι αυτου ενεποδισθη ο ηλιος και μια ημερα εγενηθη προς δυο
5 He called upon the Most High God when his enemies beset him on all sides, And God Most High gave answer to him in hailstones of tremendous power,	5 επεκαλεσατο τον υψιστον δυναστην εν τω θλιψαι αυτον εχθρους κυκλοθεν και επηκουσεν αυτου μεγας κυριος εν λιθοις χαλαζης δυναμεως κραταιας
6 Which he rained down upon the hostile army till on the slope he destroyed the foe; That all the doomed nations might know that the LORD was watching over his people's battles. And because he was a devoted follower of God	6 κατερραξεν επ' εθνος πολεμον και εν καταβασει απωλεσεν ανθεστηκοτας ινα γνωσιν εθνη πανοπλιαν αυτου οτι εναντιον κυριου ο πολεμος αυτου
7 and in Moses' lifetime showed himself loyal, He and CALEB, son of Jephunneh, when they opposed the rebel assembly, Averted God's anger from the people and suppressed the wicked complaint--	7 και γαρ επηκολουθησεν οπισω δυναστου και εν ημεραις μωυσεως εποιησεν ελεος αυτος και χαλεβ υιος ιεφοννη αντιστηναι εναντι εκκλησιας κωλυσαι λαον απο αμαρτιας και κοπασαι γογγυσμον πονηριας
8 Because of this, they were the only two spared from the six hundred thousand infantry, To lead the people into their inheritance, the land flowing with milk and honey.	8 και αυτοι δυο οντες διεσωθησαν απο εξακοσιων χιλιαδων πεζων εισαγαγειν αυτους εις κληρονομιαν εις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι
9 And the strength he gave to Caleb remained with him even in his old age Till he won his way onto the summits of the land; his family too received an inheritance,	9 και εδωκεν ο κυριος τω χαλεβ ισχυν και εως γηρους διεμεινεν αυτω επιβηναι αυτον επι το υψος της γης και το σπερμα αυτου κατεσχεν κληρονομιαν
10 That all the people of Jacob might know how good it is to be a devoted follower of the LORD.	10 οπως ιδωσιν παντες οι υιοι ισραηλ οτι καλον το πορευεσθαι οπισω κυριου
11 The JUDGES, too, each one of them, whose hearts were not deceived, Who did not abandon God: may their memory be ever blessed,	11 και οι κριται εκαστος τω αυτου ονοματι οσων ουκ εξεπορνευσεν η καρδια και οσοι ουκ απεστραφησαν απο κυριου ειη το μνημοσυνον αυτων εν ευλογιαις
12 Their bones return to life from their resting place, and their names receive fresh luster in their children!	12 τα οστα αυτων αναθαλοι εκ του τοπου αυτων και το ονομα αυτων αντικαταλλασσομενον εφ' υιοις δεδοξασμενων αυτων
13 Beloved of his people, dear to his Maker, dedicated from his mother's womb, Consecrated to the LORD as a prophet, was SAMUEL, the judge and priest. At God's word he established the kingdom and anointed princes to rule the people.	13 ηγαπημενος υπο κυριου αυτου σαμουηλ προφητης κυριου κατεστησεν βασιλειαν και εχρισεν αρχοντας επι τον λαον αυτου
14 By the law of the LORD he judged the nation, when he visited the encampments of Jacob.	14 εν νομω κυριου εκρινεν συναγωγην και επεσκεψατο κυριος τον ιακωβ
15 As a trustworthy prophet he was sought out and his words proved him true as a seer.	15 εν πιστει αυτου ηκριβασθη προφητης και εγνωσθη εν ρημασιν αυτου πιστος ορασεως
16 He, too, called upon God, and offered him a suckling lamb;	16 και επεκαλεσατο τον κυριον δυναστην εν τω θλιψαι εχθρους αυτου κυκλοθεν εν προσφορα αρνος γαλαθηνου
17 Then the LORD thundered forth from heaven, and the tremendous roar of his voice was heard.	17 και εβροντησεν απ' ουρανου ο κυριος και εν ηχω μεγαλω ακουστην εποιησεν την φωνην αυτου
18 He brought low the rulers of the enemy and destroyed all the lords of the Philistines.	18 και εξετριψεν ηγουμενους τυριων και παντας αρχοντας φυλιστιιμ
19 When Samuel approached the end of his life, he testified before the LORD and his anointed prince, "No bribe or secret gift have I taken from any man!" and no one dared gainsay him.	19 και προ καιρου κοιμησεως αιωνος επεμαρτυρατο εναντι κυριου και χριστου αυτου χρηματα και εως υποδηματων απο πασης σαρκος ουκ ειληφα και ουκ ενεκαλεσεν αυτω ανθρωπος
20 Even when he lay buried, his guidance was sought; he made known to the king his fate, And from the grave he raised his voice as a prophet, to put an end to wickedness.	20 και μετα το υπνωσαι αυτον προεφητευσεν και υπεδειξεν βασιλει την τελευτην αυτου και ανυψωσεν εκ γης την φωνην αυτου εν προφητεια εξαλειψαι ανομιαν λαου
