Ecclesiasticus 45

VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Dilectus Deo et hominibus Moyses, cujus memoria in benedictione est.	1 And he brought out of him a merciful man, which found favour in the sight of all flesh, even Moses, beloved of God and men, whose memorial is blessed.
2 Similem illum fecit in gloria sanctorum, et magnificavit eum in timore inimicorum, et in verbis suis monstra placavit.	2 He made him like to the glorious saints, and magnified him, so that his enemies stood in fear of him.
3 Glorificavit illum in conspectu regum, et jussit illi coram populo suo, et ostendit illi gloriam suam.	3 By his words he caused the wonders to cease, and he made him glorious in the sight of kings, and gave him a commandment for his people, and shewed him part of his glory.
4 In fide et lenitate ipsius sanctum fecit illum, et elegit eum ex omni carne.	4 He sanctified him in his faithfuless and meekness, and chose him out of all men.
5 Audivit enim eum, et vocem ipsius, et induxit illum in nubem.	5 He made him to hear his voice, and brought him into the dark cloud, and gave him commandments before his face, even the law of life and knowledge, that he might teach Jacob his covenants, and Israel his judgments.
6 Et dedit illi coram præcepta, et legem vitæ et disciplinæ, docere Jacob testamentum suum, et judicia sua Israël.	6 He exalted Aaron, an holy man like unto him, even his brother, of the tribe of Levi.
7 Excelsum fecit Aaron fratrem ejus, et similem sibi, de tribu Levi.	7 An everlasting covenant he made with him and gave him the priesthood among the people; he beautified him with comely ornaments, and clothed him with a robe of glory.
8 Statuit ei testamentum æternum, et dedit illi sacerdotium gentis, et beatificavit illum in gloria :	8 He put upon him perfect glory; and strengthened him with rich garments, with breeches, with a long robe, and the ephod.
9 et circumcinxit eum zona gloriæ, et induit eum stolam gloriæ, et coronavit eum in vasis virtutis.	9 And he compassed him with pomegranates, and with many golden bells round about, 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;
10 Circumpedes, et femoralia, et humerale posuit ei : et cinxit illum tintinnabulis aureis plurimis in gyro :	10 With an holy garment, with gold, and blue silk, and purple, the work of the embroidere, with a breastplate of judgment, and with Urim and Thummim;
11 dare sonitum in incessu suo, auditum facere sonitum in templo in memoriam filiis gentis suæ.	11 With twisted scarlet, the work of the cunning workman, with precious stones graven like seals, and set in gold, the work of the jeweller, with a writing engraved for a memorial, after the number of the tribes of Israel.
12 Stolam sanctam auro, et hyacintho, et purpura, opus textile viri sapientis, judicio et veritate præditi :	12 He set a crown of gold upon the mitre, wherein was engraved Holiness, an ornament of honour, a costly work, the desires of the eyes, goodly and beautiful.
13 torto cocco opus artificis gemmis pretiosis figuratis in ligatura auri, et opere lapidarii sculptis, in memoriam secundum numerum tribuum Israël.	13 Before him there were none such, neither did ever any stranger put them on, but only his children and his children's children perpetually.
14 Corona aurea super mitram ejus expressa signo sanctitatis, et gloria honoris : opus virtutis, et desideria oculorum ornata.	14 Their sacrifices shall be wholly consumed every day twice continually.
15 Sic pulchra ante ipsum non fuerunt talia usque ad originem.	15 Moses consecrated him, and anointed him with holy oil: this was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, and to his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, that they should minister unto him, and execute the office of the priesthood, and bless the people in his name.
16 Non est indutus illa alienigena aliquis, sed tantum filii ipsius soli, et nepotes ejus per omne tempus.	16 He chose him out of all men living to offer sacrifices to the Lord, incense, and a sweet savour, for a memorial, to make reconciliation for his people.
17 Sacrificia ipsius consumpta sunt igne quotidie.	17 He gave unto him his commandments, and authority in the statutes of judgments, that he should teach Jacob the testimonies, and inform Israel in his laws.
18 Complevit Moyses manus ejus, et unxit illum oleo sancto.	18 Strangers conspired together against him, and maligned him in the wilderness, even the men that were of Dathan's and Abiron's side, and the congregation of Core, with fury and wrath.
19 Factum est illi in testamentum æternum, et semini ejus, sicut dies cæli, fungi sacerdotio, et habere laudem, et glorificare populum suum in nomine ejus.	19 This the Lord saw, and it displeased him, and in his wrathful indignation were they consumed: he did wonders upon them, to consume them with the fiery flame.
20 Ipsum elegit ab omni vivente, offerre sacrificium Deo, incensum, et bonum odorem, in memoriam placare pro populo suo :	20 But he made Aaron more honourable, and gave him an heritage, and divided unto him the firstfruits of the increase; especially he prepared bread in abundance:
21 et dedit illi in præceptis suis potestatem, in testamentis judiciorum : docere Jacob testimonia, et in lege sua lucem dare Israël.	21 For they eat of the sacrifices of the Lord, which he gave unto him and his seed.
22 Quia contra illum steterunt alieni, et propter invidiam circumdederunt illum homines in deserto, qui erant cum Dathan et Abiron, et congregatio Core in iracundia.	22 Howbeit in the land of the people he had no inheritance, neither had he any portion among the people: for the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance.
23 Vidit Dominus Deus, et non placuit illi, et consumpti sunt in impetu iracundiæ.	23 The third in glory is Phinees the son of Eleazar, because he had zeal in the fear of the Lord, and stood up with good courage of heart: when the people were turned back, and made reconciliation for Israel.
24 Fecit illis monstra, et consumpsit illos in flamma ignis.	24 Therefore was there a covenant of peace made with him, that he should be the chief of the sanctuary and of his people, and that he and his posterity should have the dignity of the priesthood for ever:
25 Et addidit Aaron gloriam, et dedit illi hæreditatem, et primitias frugum terræ divisit illi.	25 According to the covenant made with David son of Jesse, of the tribe of Juda, that the inheritance of the king should be to his posterity alone: so the inheritance of Aaron should also be unto his seed.
26 Panem ipsis in primis paravit in satietatem : nam et sacrificia Domini edent, quæ dedit illi et semini ejus.	26 God give you wisdom in your heart to judge his people in righteousness, that their good things be not abolished, and that their glory may endure for ever.
27 Ceterum in terra gentes non hæreditabit, et pars non est illi in gente : ipse est enim pars ejus, et hæreditas.
28 Phinees, filius Eleazari, tertius in gloria est, imitando eum in timore Domini,
29 et stare in reverentia gentis : in bonitate et alacritate animæ suæ placuit Deo pro Israël.
30 Ideo statuit illi testamentum pacis, principem sanctorum et gentis suæ, ut sit illi et semini ejus sacerdotii dignitas in æternum.
31 Et testamentum David regi filio Jesse de tribu Juda, hæreditas ipsi et semini ejus : ut daret sapientiam in cor nostrum, judicare gentem suam in justitia, ne abolerentur bona ipsorum : et gloriam ipsorum in gentem eorum æternam fecit.
