Sirach 49

New American Bible	Septuaginta - Nestle-Aland
¹ The name JOSIAH is like blended incense, made lasting by a skilled perfumer. Precious is his memory, like honey to the taste, like music at a banquet.	¹ μνημοσυνον ιωσιου εις συνθεσιν θυμιαματος εσκευασμενον εργω μυρεψου εν παντι στοματι ως μελι γλυκανθησεται και ως μουσικα εν συμποσιω οινου
² For he grieved over our betrayals, and destroyed the abominable idols.	² αυτος κατευθυνθη εν επιστροφη λαου και εξηρεν βδελυγματα ανομιας
³ He turned to God with his whole heart, and, though times were evil, he practiced virtue.	³ κατευθυνεν προς κυριον την καρδιαν αυτου εν ημεραις ανομων κατισχυσεν την ευσεβειαν
⁴ Except for David, Hezekiah and Josiah, they all were wicked; They abandoned the Law of the Most High, these kings of Judah, right to the very end.	⁴ παρεξ δαυιδ και εζεκιου και ιωσιου παντες πλημμελειαν επλημμελησαν κατελιπον γαρ τον νομον του υψιστου οι βασιλεις ιουδα εξελιπον
⁵ So he gave over their power to others, their glory to a foolish foreign nation	⁵ εδωκαν γαρ το κερας αυτων ετεροις και την δοξαν αυτων εθνει αλλοτριω
⁶ Who burned the holy city and left its streets desolate, As JEREMIAH had foretold;	⁶ ενεπυρισαν εκλεκτην πολιν αγιασματος και ηρημωσαν τας οδους αυτης
⁷ for they had treated him badly who even in the womb had been made a prophet, To root out, pull down, and destroy, and then to build and to plant.	⁷ εν χειρι ιερεμιου εκακωσαν γαρ αυτον και αυτος εν μητρα ηγιασθη προφητης εκριζουν και κακουν και απολλυειν ωσαυτως οικοδομειν και καταφυτευειν
⁸ EZEKIEL beheld the vision and described the different creatures of the chariot;	⁸ ιεζεκιηλ ος ειδεν ορασιν δοξης ην υπεδειξεν αυτω επι αρματος χερουβιν
⁹ He also referred to JOB, who always persevered in the right path.	⁹ και γαρ εμνησθη των εχθρων εν ομβρω και αγαθωσαι τους ευθυνοντας οδους
¹⁰ Then, too, the TWELVE PROPHETS-- may their bones return to life from their resting place!-- Gave new strength to Jacob and saved him by their faith and hope.	¹⁰ και των δωδεκα προφητων τα οστα αναθαλοι εκ του τοπου αυτων παρεκαλεσαν γαρ τον ιακωβ και ελυτρωσαντο αυτους εν πιστει ελπιδος
¹¹ How can we fittingly praise ZERUBBABEL, who was like a signet ring on God's right hand,	¹¹ πως μεγαλυνωμεν τον ζοροβαβελ και αυτος ως σφραγις επι δεξιας χειρος
¹² And Jeshua, Jozadak's son? In their time they built the house of God; They erected the holy temple, destined for everlasting glory.	¹² ουτως ιησους υιος ιωσεδεκ οι εν ημεραις αυτων ωκοδομησαν οικον και ανυψωσαν ναον αγιον κυριω ητοιμασμενον εις δοξαν αιωνος
¹³ Extolled be the memory of NEHEMIAH! He rebuilt our ruined walls, Restored our shattered defenses, and set up gates and bars.	¹³ και νεεμιου επι πολυ το μνημοσυνον του εγειραντος ημιν τειχη πεπτωκοτα και στησαντος πυλας και μοχλους και ανεγειραντος τα οικοπεδα ημων
¹⁴ Few on earth have been made the equal of ENOCH, for he was taken up bodily.	¹⁴ ουδεις εκτισθη επι της γης τοιουτος οιος ενωχ και γαρ αυτος ανελημφθη απο της γης
¹⁵ Was ever a man born like JOSEPH? Even his dead body was provided for.	¹⁵ ουδε ως ιωσηφ εγεννηθη ανηρ ηγουμενος αδελφων στηριγμα λαου και τα οστα αυτου επεσκεπησαν
¹⁶ Glorious, too, were SHEM and SETH and ENOS; but beyond that of any living being was the splendor of ADAM.	¹⁶ σημ και σηθ εν ανθρωποις εδοξασθησαν και υπερ παν ζωον εν τη κτισει αδαμ
