LXX	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 ο συντηρων νομον πλεοναζει προσφορας θυσιαζων σωτηριου ο προσεχων εντολαις	1 He that keepeth the law bringeth offerings enough: he that taketh heed to the commandment offereth a peace offering.
2 ανταποδιδους χαριν προσφερων σεμιδαλιν και ο ποιων ελεημοσυνην θυσιαζων αινεσεως	2 He that requiteth a goodturn offereth fine flour; and he that giveth alms sacrificeth praise.
3 ευδοκια κυριου αποστηναι απο πονηριας και εξιλασμος αποστηναι απο αδικιας	3 To depart from wickedness is a thing pleasing to the Lord; and to forsake unrighteousness is a propitiation.
4 μη οφθης εν προσωπω κυριου κενος παντα γαρ ταυτα χαριν εντολης	4 Thou shalt not appear empty before the Lord.
5 προσφορα δικαιου λιπαινει θυσιαστηριον και η ευωδια αυτης εναντι υψιστου	5 For all these things [are to be done] because of the commandment.
6 θυσια ανδρος δικαιου δεκτη και το μνημοσυνον αυτης ουκ επιλησθησεται	6 The offering of the righteous maketh the altar fat, and the sweet savour thereof is before the most High.
7 εν αγαθω οφθαλμω δοξασον τον κυριον και μη σμικρυνης απαρχην χειρων σου	7 The sacrifice of a just man is acceptable. and the memorial thereof shall never be forgotten.
8 εν παση δοσει ιλαρωσον το προσωπον σου και εν ευφροσυνη αγιασον δεκατην	8 Give the Lord his honour with a good eye, and diminish not the firstfruits of thine hands.
9 δος υψιστω κατα την δοσιν αυτου και εν αγαθω οφθαλμω καθ' ευρεμα χειρος	9 In all thy gifts shew a cheerful countenance, and dedicate thy tithes with gladness.
10 οτι κυριος ανταποδιδους εστιν και επταπλασια ανταποδωσει σοι	10 Give unto the most High according as he hath enriched thee; and as thou hast gotten, give with a cheerful eye.
11 μη δωροκοπει ου γαρ προσδεξεται και μη επεχε θυσια αδικω	11 For the Lord recompenseth, and will give thee seven times as much.
12 οτι κυριος κριτης εστιν και ουκ εστιν παρ' αυτω δοξα προσωπου	12 Do not think to corrupt with gifts; for such he will not receive: and trust not to unrighteous sacrifices; for the Lord is judge, and with him is no respect of persons.
13 ου λημψεται προσωπον επι πτωχου και δεησιν ηδικημενου εισακουσεται	13 He will not accept any person against a poor man, but will hear the prayer of the oppressed.
14 ου μη υπεριδη ικετειαν ορφανου και χηραν εαν εκχεη λαλιαν	14 He will not despise the supplication of the fatherless; nor the widow, when she poureth out her complaint.
15 ουχι δακρυα χηρας επι σιαγονα καταβαινει και η καταβοησις επι τω καταγαγοντι αυτα	15 Do not the tears run down the widow's cheeks? and is not her cry against him that causeth them to fall?
16 θεραπευων εν ευδοκια δεχθησεται και η δεησις αυτου εως νεφελων συναψει	16 He that serveth the Lord shall be accepted with favour, and his prayer shall reach unto the clouds.
17 προσευχη ταπεινου νεφελας διηλθεν και εως συνεγγιση ου μη παρακληθη	17 The prayer of the humble pierceth the clouds: and till it come nigh, he will not be comforted; and will not depart, till the most High shall behold to judge righteously, and execute judgment.
18 και ου μη αποστη εως επισκεψηται ο υψιστος και κρινει δικαιοις και ποιησει κρισιν	18 For the Lord will not be slack, neither will the Mighty be patient toward them, till he have smitten in sunder the loins of the unmerciful, and repayed vengeance to the heathen; till he have taken away the multitude of the proud, and broken the sceptre of the unrighteous;
19 και ο κυριος ου μη βραδυνη ουδε μη μακροθυμηση επ' αυτοις	19 Till he have rendered to every man according to his deeds, and to the works of men according to their devices; till he have judged the cause of his people, and made them to rejoice in his mercy.
20 εως αν συντριψη οσφυν ανελεημονων και τοις εθνεσιν ανταποδωσει εκδικησιν	20 Mercy is seasonable in the time of affliction, as clouds of rain in the time of drought.
21 εως εξαρη πληθος υβριστων και σκηπτρα αδικων συντριψει	21 []
22 εως ανταποδω ανθρωπω κατα τας πραξεις αυτου και τα εργα των ανθρωπων κατα τα ενθυμηματα αυτων	22 []
23 εως κρινη την κρισιν του λαου αυτου και ευφρανει αυτους εν τω ελεει αυτου	23 []
24 ωραιον ελεος εν καιρω θλιψεως αυτου ως νεφελαι υετου εν καιρω αβροχιας	24 []
