Sirach 45

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 Moses was beloved of God, and men: whose memory is in benediction.	1 dilectum a Deo et hominibus Moysen, cuius memoria in benedictione est.
2 He made him like the saints in glory, and magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words he made prodigies to cease.	2 Similem illum fecit in gloria sanctorum et magnificavit eum in timore inimicorum et in verbis suis signa acceleravit.
3 He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him commandments in the sight of his people, and shewed him his glory.	3 Glorificavit illum in conspectu regum et ius dedit illi ad populum suum et ostendit illi gloriam suam.
4 He sanctified him in his faith, and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh.	4 In fide et lenitate ipsius sanctum fecit illum et elegit eum ex omni carne.
5 For he heard him, and his voice, and brought him into a cloud.	5 Auditam fecit illi vocem suam et induxit illum in nubem;
6 And he gave him commandments before his face, and a law of life and instruction, that he might teach Jacob his covenant, and Israel his judgments.	6 et dedit illi coram praecepta et legem vitae et disciplinae, docere Iacob testamentum suum et iudicia sua Israel.
7 He exalted Aaron his brother, and like to himself of the tribe of Levi:	7 Excelsum fecit Aaron sanctum similem ei, fratrem eius de tribu Levi.
8 He made an everlasting covenant with him, and gave him the priesthood of the nation, and made him blessed in glory,	8 Statuit illum in testamentum aeternum et dedit illi sacerdotium gentis, et beatificavit illum in gloria
9 And he girded him about with a glorious girdle, and clothed him with a robe of glory, and crowned him with majestic attire.	9 et circumcinxit eum zona gloriae. Et induit eum perfecto decore et coronavit eum in vasis virtutis:
10 He put upon him a garment to the feet, and breeches, and as ephod, and he compassed him with many little bells of gold all round about,	10 femoralia et tunicam et umerale posuit ei et cinxit illum tintinnabulis aureis, malis granatis plurimis in gyro,
11 That as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people.	11 ut daret sonitum in incessu suo, auditum faceret sonitum in templo in memoriam filiis gentis suae.
12 He gave him a holy robe of gold, and blue, and purple, a woven work of a wise man, endued with judgment and truth:	12 Stola sancta auro et hyacintho et purpura, opus textile rationale iudicii et cingulum,
13 Of twisted scarlet the work of an artist, with precious stones cut and set in gold, and graven by the work of a lapidary for a memorial, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.	13 tortum coccum opere artificis, gemmae pretiosae super rationale in ligatura auri, opere lapidarii sculptis, in memoriam cum scriptura sculpta secundum numerum tribuum Israel.
14 And a crown of gold upon his mitre wherein was engraved Holiness, an ornament of honour: a work of power, and delightful to the eyes for its beauty.	14 Corona aurea super mitram eius, lamina cum signo sanctitatis, gloria honoris, opus virtutis et desideria oculorum, perfecta pulchritudo.
15 Before him there were none so beautiful, even from the beginning.	15 Sic pulchra ante ipsum non fuerunt talia in sempiternum;
16 No stranger was ever clothed with them, but only his children alone, and his grandchildren for ever.	16 non induet illa alienigena aliquis, sed tantum filii ipsius soli et nepotes eius per omne tempus.
17 His sacrifices were consumed with fire every day.	17 Sacrificium ipsius consumitur igne cotidie iuge bis.
18 Moses filled his hands and anointed him with holy oil.	18 Complevit Moyses manus eius et unxit illum oleo sancto.
19 This was made to him for an everlasting testament, and to his seed as the days of heaven, to execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise, and to glorify his people in his name.	19 Factum est illi in testamentum aeternum et semini eius sicut dies caeli: ministrare illi et fungi sacerdotio et benedicere populum suum in nomine eius.
20 He chose him out of all men living, to offer sacrifice to God, incense, and a good savour, for a memorial to make reconciliation for his people:	20 Ipsum elegit ab omni vivente offerre sacrificium Deo, incensum et adipes et incendere bonum odorem et memoriale et placare pro populo suo.
21 And he gave him power in his commandments, in the covenants of his judgments, that he should teach Jacob his testimonies, and give light to Israel in his law.	21 Et dedit illi in praeceptis suis potestatem, in testamentis iudiciorum: docere Iacob testimonia et in lege sua lucem dare Israel.
22 And strangers stood up against him, and through envy the men that were with Dathan and Abiron, compassed him about in the wilderness, and the congregation of Core in their wrath.	22 Quia contra illum steterunt alieni, et propter invidiam circumdederunt illum homines in deserto, qui erant cum Dathan et Abiram, et congregatio Core in iracundia furoris sui.
23 The Lord God saw and it pleased him not, and they were consumed in his wrathful indignation.	23 Vidit Dominus Deus, et non placuit illi, et consumpti sunt in impetu iracundiae eius.
24 He wrought wonders upon them, and consumed them with a flame of fire.	24 Fecit illis monstra et consumpsit illos in flamma ignis.
25 And he added glory to Aaron, and gave him an inheritance, and divided unto him the firstfruits of the increase of the earth.	25 Et addidit Aaron gloriam et dedit illi hereditatem et primitias frugum terrae divisit illi.
26 He prepared them bread in the first place unto fulness: for the sacrifices also of the Lord they shall eat, which he gave to him, and to his seed.	26 Panem ipsis in primis paravit in satietatem, nam et sacrificia Domini edent, quae dedit illi et semini eius.
27 But he shall not inherit among the people in the land, and he hath no portion among the people: for he himself is his portion and inheritance.	27 Ceterum in terra gentis non hereditabit, et pars non est illi in gente: ipse est enim pars eius et hereditas.
28 Phinees the son of Eleazar is the third in glory, by imitating him in the fear of the Lord:	28 Et Phinees filius Eleazari tertius in gloria est, zelando timorem Domini;
29 And he stood up in the shameful fall of the people: in the goodness and readiness of his soul he appeased God for Israel.	29 et stetit in ruptura pro gente, in bonitate et alacritate animae suae placuit Deo pro lsrael.
30 Therefore he made to him a covenant of peace, to be the prince of the sanctuary, and of his people, that the dignity of priesthood should be to him and to his seed for ever.	30 Ideo statuit illi testamentum pacis, principem sanctorum et gentis suae, ut sit illi et semini eius sacerdotii dignitas in aeternum.
31 And a covenant to David the king, the son of Jesse of the tribe of Juda, an inheritance to him and to his seed, that he might give wisdom into our heart to judge his people in justice, that their good things might not be abolished, and he made their glory in their nation everlasting.	31 Et testamentum David regi filio Iesse de tribu Iudae, hereditas viri coram gloria eius, hereditas Aaron et semini eius. Det vobis sapientiam in cor vestrum iudicare gentem suam in iustitia, ne abolerentur bona ipsorum, et gloria ipsorum in generationes aeternas.
