Siracide 46

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Fortis in bello Iesus filius Nun, successor Moysi in prophetis, qui fuit secundum nomen suum	1 Jesus the son a Nave was valiant in the wars, and was the successor of Moses in prophecies, who according to his name was made great for the saving of the elect of God, and taking vengeance of the enemies that rose up against them, that he might set Israel in their inheritance.
2 maximus in salutem electorum Dei, qui vindicet in insurgentes hostes, ut heredem faciat Israel.	2 How great glory gat he, when he did lift up his hands, and stretched out his sword against the cities!
3 Quam gloriam adeptus est in tollendo manus suas et iactando contra civitatem acinacem!	3 Who before him so stood to it? for the Lord himself brought his enemies unto him.
4 Quis ante illum restitit? Nam bella Domini ipse perduxit.	4 Did not the sun go back by his means? and was not one day as long as two?
5 An non in manu eius impeditus est sol, et una dies facta est quasi duo?	5 He called upon the most high Lord, when the enemies pressed upon him on every side; and the great Lord heard him.
6 Invocavit Altissimum potentem in oppugnando inimicos undique; et audivit illum magnus Dominus in saxis grandinis virtutis valde fortis.	6 And with hailstones of mighty power he made the battle to fall violently upon the nations, and in the descent [of Beth-horon] he destroyed them that resisted, that the nations might know all their strength, because he fought in the sight of the Lord, and he followed the Mighty One.
7 Impetum fecit contra gentem hostilem et in descensu perdidit contrarios,	7 In the time of Moses also he did a work of mercy, he and Caleb the son of Jephunne, in that they withstood the congregation, and withheld the people from sin, and appeased the wicked murmuring.
8 ut cognoscant gentes armaturam eius, quia contra Deum bellum eorum est: etenim secutus est a tergo Potentis.	8 And of six hundred thousand people on foot, they two were preserved to bring them in to the heritage, even unto the land that floweth with milk and honey.
9 Et in diebus Moysi misericordiam fecit, ipse et Chaleb filius Iephonne, stare contra congregationem, prohibere gentem a peccatis et perfringere murmur malitiae.	9 The Lord gave strength also unto Caleb, which remained with him unto his old age: so that he entered upon the high places of the land, and his seed obtained it for an heritage:
10 Ideo et ipsi duo liberati sunt a numero sescentorum milium peditum, ut inducerent illos in hereditatem, in terram, quae manat lac et mel.	10 That all the children of Israel might see that it is good to follow the Lord.
11 Et dedit Dominus ipsi Chaleb fortitudinem, et usque in senectutem permansit illi, ut ascenderet in excelsum terrae locum; et semen ipsius obtinuit hereditatem,	11 And concerning the judges, every one by name, whose heart went not a whoring, nor departed from the Lord, let their memory be blessed.
12 ut viderent omnes filii Israel quia bonum est obsequi Domino.	12 Let their bones flourish out of their place, and let the name of them that were honoured be continued upon their children.
13 Et iudices singuli suo nomine, quorum non est corruptum cor, qui non aversi sunt a Domino:	13 Samuel, the prophet of the Lord, beloved of his Lord, established a kingdom, and anointed princes over his people.
14 sit memoria illorum in benedictione, et ossa eorum pullulent de loco suo,	14 By the law of the Lord he judged the congregation, and the Lord had respect unto Jacob.
15 et nomen eorum renovet filiis illorum sanctorum virorum.	15 By his faithfulness he was found a true prophet, and by his word he was known to be faithful in vision.
16 Dilectus a Domino suo Samuel propheta Domini instituit imperium et unxit principes in gente sua.	16 He called upon the mighty Lord, when his enemies pressed upon him on every side, when he offered the sucking lamb.
17 In lege Domini congregationem iudicavit, et visitavit Deus Iacob, et in fide sua probatus est propheta;	17 And the Lord thundered from heaven, and with a great noise made his voice to be heard.
18 et cognitus est in verbis suis fidelis in visione.	18 And he destroyed the rulers of the Tyrians, and all the princes cf the Philistines.
19 Et invocavit Dominum omnipotentem, in oppugnando hostes circumstantes undique, in oblatione agni lactentis.	19 And before his long sleep he made protestations in the sight of the Lord and his anointed, I have not taken any man's goods, so much as a shoe: and no man did accuse him.
20 Et intonuit de caelo Dominus et in sonitu magno auditam fecit vocem suam	20 And after his death he prophesied, and shewed the king his end, and lifted up his voice from the earth in prophecy, to blot out the wickedness of the people.
21 et contrivit principes Tyriorum et omnes duces Philisthim.
22 Et ante tempus dormitionis aeternae testimonium praebuit in conspectu Domini et christi eius: “ Pecunias et usque ad calceamenta ab omni carne non accepi ”; et non accusavit illum homo.
23 Et, postquam dormivit, prophetavit et notum fecit regi et ostendit illi finem vitae suae et exaltavit vocem suam de terra in prophetia ad delendam impietatem gentis.
