Eclesiástico/Ben Sirá 45

BIBLIA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Hizo salir de él un hombre de bien, que hallaba gracia a los ojos de todos, amado por Dios y por los hombres, Moisés, cuya memoria está envuelta en bendiciones.	1 From his descendants the Lord brought forth a man of mercy, who found favor in the sight of all flesh and was beloved by God and man, Moses, whose memory is blessed.
2 Le hizo en gloria comparable a los santos, le engrandeció para temor de los enemigos.	2 He made him equal in glory to the holy ones, and made him great in the fears of his enemies.
3 Por su palabra puso fin a los prodigios, y le glorificó delante de los reyes; le dio para su pueblo mandamientos, y le mostró algo de su gloria.	3 By his words he caused signs to cease; the Lord glorified him in the presence of kings. He gave him commands for his people, and showed him part of his glory.
4 En fidelidad y mansedumbre le santificó, le eligió entre toda carne.	4 He sanctified him through faithfulness and meekness; he chose him out of all mankind.
5 Le hizo oír su voz, y le introdujo en la calígine; cara a cara le dio los mandamientos, la ley de vida y de saber, para enseñar a Jacob su alianza, y sus decretos a Israel.	5 He made him hear his voice, and led him into the thick darkness, and gave him the commandments face to face, the law of life and knowledge, to teach Jacob the covenant, and Israel his judgments.
6 Exaltó a Aarón, un santo semejante a éste, su hermano, de la tribu de Leví.	6 He exalted Aaron, the brother of Moses, a holy man like him, of the tribe of Levi.
7 Le afirmó como alianza eterna, y le dio el sacerdocio del pueblo. Le hizo feliz con su espléndido ornamento, le ciño de gloriosa vestidura.	7 He made an everlasting covenant with him, and gave him the priesthood of the people. He blessed him with splendid vestments, and put a glorious robe upon him.
8 Le vistió de honor perfecto, y le confirmó con insignias de poder, calzones, túnica y efod.	8 He clothed him with superb perfection, and strengthened him with the symbols of authority, the linen breeches, the long robe, and the ephod.
9 Le puso alrededor granadas, y campanillas de oro, bien de ellas todo en torno, para que tintinearan al andar y resonaran bien por todo el Templo, como memorial para los hijos de su pueblo;	9 And he encircled him with pomegranates, with very many golden bells round about, to send forth a sound as he walked, to make their ringing heard in the temple as a reminder to the sons of his people;
10 y vestimenta sacra, de oro y de jacinto y de púrpura, obra de bordador, y pectoral del juicio, el Urim y el Tummim, hilado de escarlata, obra de artista;	10 with a holy garment, of gold and blue and purple, the work of an embroiderer; with the oracle of judgment, Urim and Thummim;
11 piedras preciosas, grabadas como sellos, en engaste de oro, obra de joyero, para memorial por la escritura grabada, según el número de las tribus de Israel;	11 with twisted scarlet, the work of a craftsman; with precious stones engraved like signets, in a setting of gold, the work of a jeweler, for a reminder, in engraved letters, according to the number of the tribes of Israel;
12 corona de oro por encima de la tiara, inscripción del sello de consagración, prestigio de honor, obra magnífica, delicia de los ojos este adorno.	12 with a gold crown upon his turban, inscribed like a signet with "Holiness," a distinction to be prized, the work of an expert, the delight of the eyes, richly adorned.
13 Galanuras no hubo tales antes de él, y jamás se las vistió extranjero, sino sólo sus hijos, sus vástagos por siempre.	13 Before his time there never were such beautiful things. No outsider ever put them on, but only his sons and his descendants perpetually.
14 Sus sacrificios se consumían totalmente dos veces al día sin interrupción.	14 His sacrifices shall be wholly burned twice every day continually.
15 Llenó Moisés sus manos, le ungió con óleo santo. Fue ello para él alianza eterna, y para su linaje cuanto dure el cielo, para presidir el culto, ejercer el sacerdocio y bendecir a su pueblo en nombre del Señor.	15 Moses ordained him, and anointed him with holy oil; it was an everlasting covenant for him and for his descendants all the days of heaven, to minister to the Lord and serve as priest and bless his people in his name.
16 Le eligió entre todos los vivientes para presentar la ofrenda al Señor, el incienso y el aroma en memorial, y hacer expiación por el pueblo.	16 He chose him out of all the living to offer sacrifice to the Lord, incense and a pleasing odor as a memorial portion, to make atonement for the people.
17 Le dio, por sus mandamientos, potestad sobre las prescripciones legales, para enseñar a Jacob sus dictámenes e ilustrar a Israel en su ley.	17 In his commandments he gave him authority and statutes and judgments, to teach Jacob the testimonies, and to enlighten Israel with his law.
18 Se confabularon contra él extranjeros y en el desierto tuvieron celos de él, los hombres de Datán y de Abirón, la banda de Coré, llena de ira y de furor.	18 Outsiders conspired against him, and envied him in the wilderness, Dathan and Abiram and their men and the company of Korah, in wrath and anger.
19 Lo vió el Señor y se irritó, y acabó con ellos en el ardor de su ira. Hizo prodigios contra ellos, devorándolos por el fuego de su llama.	19 The Lord saw it and was not pleased, and in the wrath of his anger they were destroyed; he wrought wonders against them to consume them in flaming fire.
20 Aumentó la gloria de Aarón y le dio una heredad, le otorgó las primicias, sobre todo el pan a saciedad.	20 He added glory to Aaron and gave him a heritage; he allotted to him the first of the first fruits, he prepared bread of first fruits in abundance;
21 Por eso comen ellos los sacrificios del Señor, que él le concedió a él y a su linaje.	21 for they eat the sacrifices to the Lord, which he gave to him and his descendants.
22 Aunque en la tierra del pueblo no tiene heredad, ni hay en el pueblo parte para él: que «Yo soy tu parte y tu heredad».	22 But in the land of the people he has no inheritance, and he has no portion among the people; for the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance.
23 Pinjás, hijo de Eleazar, tercero en gloria, porque fue celoso del temor del Señor, y se mantuvo firme en la revuelta del pueblo por la energía de su alma resuelta, y obtuvo así el perdón para Israel.	23 Phinehas the son of Eleazar is the third in glory, for he was zealous in the fear of the Lord, and stood fast, when the people turned away, in the ready goodness of his soul, and made atonement for Israel.
24 Por eso se hizo con él una alianza de paz, de presidir el santuario y a su pueblo, para que le tocara a él y a su linaje la dignidad del sumo sacerdocio por los siglos.	24 Therefore a covenant of peace was established with him, that he should be leader of the sanctuary and of his people, that he and his descendants should have the dignity of the priesthood for ever.
25 Hubo también alianza con David, hijo de Jesé, de la tribu de Judá, herencia real de hijo a hijo sólo, mientras la herencia de Aarón pasa a todo su linaje.	25 A covenant was also established with David, the son of Jesse, of the tribe of Judah: the heritage of the king is from son to son only; so the heritage of Aaron is for his descendants.
26 Dé Dios sabiduría a vuestro corazón para juzgar a su pueblo con justicia, y que no se desvirtúen los valores de los padres, ni su gloria en sus generaciones.	26 May the Lord grant you wisdom in your heart to judge his people in righteousness, so that their prosperity may not vanish, and that their glory may endure throughout their generations.
