| 1 One who keeps the Law multiplies offerings; one who fol ows the commandments offers communionsacrifices. | 1 ο συντηρων νομον πλεοναζει προσφορας θυσιαζων σωτηριου ο προσεχων εντολαις |
| 2 Proof of gratitude is an offering of fine flour, almsgiving a sacrifice of praise. | 2 ανταποδιδους χαριν προσφερων σεμιδαλιν και ο ποιων ελεημοσυνην θυσιαζων αινεσεως |
| 3 To abandon wickedness is what pleases the Lord, to give up wrong-doing is an expiatory sacrifice. | 3 ευδοκια κυριου αποστηναι απο πονηριας και εξιλασμος αποστηναι απο αδικιας |
| 4 Do not appear empty-handed in the Lord's presence; for all these things are due under thecommandment. | 4 μη οφθης εν προσωπω κυριου κενος παντα γαρ ταυτα χαριν εντολης |
| 5 The offering of the upright graces the altar, and its savour rises before the Most High. | 5 προσφορα δικαιου λιπαινει θυσιαστηριον και η ευωδια αυτης εναντι υψιστου |
| 6 The sacrifice of the upright is acceptable, its memorial wil not be forgotten. | 6 θυσια ανδρος δικαιου δεκτη και το μνημοσυνον αυτης ουκ επιλησθησεται |
| 7 Honour the Lord with generosity, do not stint the first-fruits you bring. | 7 εν αγαθω οφθαλμω δοξασον τον κυριον και μη σμικρυνης απαρχην χειρων σου |
| 8 Add a smiling face to al your gifts, and be cheerful as you dedicate your tithes. | 8 εν παση δοσει ιλαρωσον το προσωπον σου και εν ευφροσυνη αγιασον δεκατην |
| 9 Give to the Most High as he has given to you, as generously as your means can afford; | 9 δος υψιστω κατα την δοσιν αυτου και εν αγαθω οφθαλμω καθ' ευρεμα χειρος |
| 10 for the Lord is a good rewarder, he wil reward you seven times over. | 10 οτι κυριος ανταποδιδους εστιν και επταπλασια ανταποδωσει σοι |
| 11 Do not try to bribe him with presents, he wil not accept them, do not put your faith in wronglymotivated sacrifices; | 11 μη δωροκοπει ου γαρ προσδεξεται και μη επεχε θυσια αδικω |
| 12 for the Lord is a judge who is utterly impartial. | 12 οτι κυριος κριτης εστιν και ουκ εστιν παρ' αυτω δοξα προσωπου |
| 13 He never shows partiality to the detriment of the poor, he listens to the plea of the injured party. | 13 ου λημψεται προσωπον επι πτωχου και δεησιν ηδικημενου εισακουσεται |
| 14 He does not ignore the orphan's supplication, nor the widow's as she pours out her complaint. | 14 ου μη υπεριδη ικετειαν ορφανου και χηραν εαν εκχεη λαλιαν |
| 15 Do the widow's tears not run down her cheeks, as she accuses the man who is the cause of them? | 15 ουχι δακρυα χηρας επι σιαγονα καταβαινει και η καταβοησις επι τω καταγαγοντι αυτα |
| 16 Whoever wholeheartedly serves God will be accepted, his petitions wil carry to the clouds. | 16 θεραπευων εν ευδοκια δεχθησεται και η δεησις αυτου εως νεφελων συναψει |
| 17 The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds: and until it does, he is not to be consoled, | 17 προσευχη ταπεινου νεφελας διηλθεν και εως συνεγγιση ου μη παρακληθη |
| 18 nor wil he desist until the Most High takes notice of him, acquits the upright and delivers judgement. | 18 και ου μη αποστη εως επισκεψηται ο υψιστος και κρινει δικαιοις και ποιησει κρισιν |
| 19 And the Lord will not be slow, nor wil he be dilatory on their behalf, | 19 και ο κυριος ου μη βραδυνη ουδε μη μακροθυμηση επ' αυτοις |
| 20 until he has crushed the loins of the merciless and exacted vengeance on the nations, | 20 εως αν συντριψη οσφυν ανελεημονων και τοις εθνεσιν ανταποδωσει εκδικησιν |
| 21 until he has eliminated the hordes of the arrogant and broken the sceptres of the wicked, | 21 εως εξαρη πληθος υβριστων και σκηπτρα αδικων συντριψει |
| 22 until he has repaid al people as their deeds deserve and human actions as their intentions merit, | 22 εως ανταποδω ανθρωπω κατα τας πραξεις αυτου και τα εργα των ανθρωπων κατα τα ενθυμηματα αυτων |
| 23 until he has judged the case of his people and made them rejoice in his mercy. | 23 εως κρινη την κρισιν του λαου αυτου και ευφρανει αυτους εν τω ελεει αυτου |
| 24 Mercy is welcome in time of trouble, like rain clouds in time of drought. | 24 ωραιον ελεος εν καιρω θλιψεως αυτου ως νεφελαι υετου εν καιρω αβροχιας |
