Sirach 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 All wisdom comes from the LORD and with him it remains forever.	1 πασα σοφια παρα κυριου και μετ' αυτου εστιν εις τον αιωνα
2 The sand of the seashore, the drops of rain, the days of eternity: who can number these?	2 αμμον θαλασσων και σταγονας υετου και ημερας αιωνος τις εξαριθμησει
3 Heaven's height, earth's breadth, the depths of the abyss: who can explore these?	3 υψος ουρανου και πλατος γης και αβυσσον και σοφιαν τις εξιχνιασει
4 Before all things else wisdom was created; and prudent understanding, from eternity.	4 προτερα παντων εκτισται σοφια και συνεσις φρονησεως εξ αιωνος
5 To whom has wisdom's root been revealed? Who knows her subtleties?	5 -
6 There is but one, wise and truly awe-inspiring, seated upon his throne:	6 ριζα σοφιας τινι απεκαλυφθη και τα πανουργευματα αυτης τις εγνω
7 It is the LORD; he created her, has seen her and taken note of her.	7 -
8 He has poured her forth upon all his works, upon every living thing according to his bounty; he has lavished her upon his friends.	8 εις εστιν σοφος φοβερος σφοδρα καθημενος επι του θρονου αυτου
9 Fear of the LORD is glory and splendor, gladness and a festive crown.	9 κυριος αυτος εκτισεν αυτην και ειδεν και εξηριθμησεν αυτην και εξεχεεν αυτην επι παντα τα εργα αυτου
10 Fear of the LORD warms the heart, giving gladness and joy and length of days.	10 μετα πασης σαρκος κατα την δοσιν αυτου και εχορηγησεν αυτην τοις αγαπωσιν αυτον
11 He who fears the LORD will have a happy end; even on the day of his death he will be blessed.	11 φοβος κυριου δοξα και καυχημα και ευφροσυνη και στεφανος αγαλλιαματος
12 The beginning of wisdom is fear of the LORD, which is formed with the faithful in the womb.	12 φοβος κυριου τερψει καρδιαν και δωσει ευφροσυνην και χαραν και μακροημερευσιν
13 With devoted men was she created from of old, and with their children her beneficence abides.	13 τω φοβουμενω τον κυριον ευ εσται επ' εσχατων και εν ημερα τελευτης αυτου ευλογηθησεται
14 Fullness of wisdom is fear of the LORD; she inebriates men with her fruits.	14 αρχη σοφιας φοβεισθαι τον κυριον και μετα πιστων εν μητρα συνεκτισθη αυτοις
15 Her entire house she fills with choice foods, her granaries with her harvest.	15 μετα ανθρωπων θεμελιον αιωνος ενοσσευσεν και μετα του σπερματος αυτων εμπιστευθησεται
16 Wisdom's garland is fear of the LORD, with blossoms of peace and perfect health.	16 πλησμονη σοφιας φοβεισθαι τον κυριον και μεθυσκει αυτους απο των καρπων αυτης
17 Knowledge and full understanding she showers down; she heightens the glory of those who possess her.	17 παντα τον οικον αυτων εμπλησει επιθυμηματων και τα αποδοχεια απο των γενηματων αυτης
18 The root of wisdom is fear of the LORD; her branches are length of days.	18 στεφανος σοφιας φοβος κυριου αναθαλλων ειρηνην και υγιειαν ιασεως
19 One cannot justify unjust anger; anger plunges a man to his downfall.	19 και ειδεν και εξηριθμησεν αυτην επιστημην και γνωσιν συνεσεως εξωμβρησεν και δοξαν κρατουντων αυτης ανυψωσεν
20 A patient man need stand firm but for a time, and then contentment comes back to him.	20 ριζα σοφιας φοβεισθαι τον κυριον και οι κλαδοι αυτης μακροημερευσις
21 For a while he holds back his words, then the lips of many herald his wisdom.	21 -
22 Among wisdom's treasures is the paragon of prudence; but fear of the LORD is an abomination to the sinner.	22 ου δυνησεται θυμος αδικος δικαιωθηναι η γαρ ροπη του θυμου αυτου πτωσις αυτω
23 If you desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the LORD will bestow her upon you;	23 εως καιρου ανθεξεται μακροθυμος και υστερον αυτω αναδωσει ευφροσυνη
24 For fear of the LORD is wisdom and culture; loyal humility is his delight.	24 εως καιρου κρυψει τους λογους αυτου και χειλη πολλων εκδιηγησεται συνεσιν αυτου
25 Be not faithless to the fear of the LORD, nor approach it with duplicity of heart.	25 εν θησαυροις σοφιας παραβολαι επιστημης βδελυγμα δε αμαρτωλω θεοσεβεια
26 Play not the hypocrite before men; over your lips keep watch.	26 επιθυμησας σοφιαν διατηρησον εντολας και κυριος χορηγησει σοι αυτην
27 Exalt not yourself lest you fall and bring upon you dishonor;	27 σοφια γαρ και παιδεια φοβος κυριου και η ευδοκια αυτου πιστις και πραοτης
28 For then the LORD will reveal your secrets and publicly cast you down,	28 μη απειθησης φοβω κυριου και μη προσελθης αυτω εν καρδια δισση
29 Because you approached the fear of the LORD with your heart full of guile.	29 μη υποκριθης εν στομασιν ανθρωπων και εν τοις χειλεσιν σου προσεχε
	30 μη εξυψου σεαυτον ινα μη πεσης και επαγαγης τη ψυχη σου ατιμιαν και αποκαλυψει κυριος τα κρυπτα σου και εν μεσω συναγωγης καταβαλει σε οτι ου προσηλθες φοβω κυριου και η καρδια σου πληρης δολου
