Sirach 46

Valiant in war was Jesus the son of Nave, who was successor of Moses among the prophets, who was great according to his name,

Fortis in bello Jesus Nave, successor Moysi in prophetis, qui fuit magnus secundum nomen suum,

κραταιὸς ἐν πολέμῳ Ἰησοῦς Ναυη καὶ διάδοχος Μωυσῆ ἐν προφητείαις ὃς ἐγένετο κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ

Very great for the saving the elect of God, to overthrow the enemies that rose up against them, that he might get the inheritance for Israel.

maximus in salutem electorum Dei, expugnare insurgentes hostes, ut consequeretur hæreditatem Israël.

μέγας ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκδικῆσαι ἐπεγειρομένους ἐχθρούς ὅπως κατακληρονομήσῃ τὸν Ισραηλ

How great glory did he gain when he lifted up his hands, and stretched out swords against the cities?

Quam gloriam adeptus est in tollendo manus suas, et jactando contra civitates rhomphæas!

ὡς ἐδοξάσθη ἐν τῷ ἐπᾶραι χεῖρας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐκτεῖναι ῥομφαίαν ἐπὶ πόλεις

Who before him hath so resisted? for the Lord himself brought the enemies.

Quis ante illum sic restitit? nam hostes ipse Dominus perduxit.

τίς πρότερος αὐτοῦ οὕτως ἔστη τοὺς γὰρ πολέμους κυρίου αὐτὸς ἐπήγαγεν

Was not the sun stopped in his anger, and one day made as two?

An non in iracundia ejus impeditus est sol, et una dies facta est quasi duo?

οὐχὶ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἐνεποδίσθη ὁ ἥλιος καὶ μία ἡμέρα ἐγενήθη πρὸς δύο

He called upon the most high Sovereign when the enemies assaulted him on every side, and the great and holy God heard him by hailstones of exceeding great force.

Invocavit Altissimum potentem, in oppugnando inimicos undique : et audivit illum magnus et sanctus Deus, in saxis grandinis virtutis valde fortis.

ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν ὕψιστον δυνάστην ἐν τῷ θλῖψαι αὐτὸν ἐχθροὺς κυκλόθεν καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτοῦ μέγας κύριος ἐν λίθοις χαλάζης δυνάμεως κραταιᾶς

He made a violent assault against the nation of his enemies, and in the descent he destroyed the adversaries.

Impetum fecit contra gentem hostilem, et in descensu perdidit contrarios :

κατέρραξεν ἐπ' ἔθνος πόλεμον καὶ ἐν καταβάσει ἀπώλεσεν ἀνθεστηκότας

That the nations might know his power, that it is not easy to fight against God. And he followed the mighty one:

ut cognoscant gentes potentiam ejus, quia contra Deum pugnare non est facile. Et secutus est a tergo potentis :

ἵνα γνῶσιν ἔθνη πανοπλίαν αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐναντίον κυρίου ὁ πόλεμος αὐτοῦ

And in the days of Moses he did a work of mercy, he and Caleb the son of Jephone, in standing against the enemy, and withholding the people from sins, and appeasing the wicked murmuring.

et in diebus Moysi misericordiam fecit, ipse, et Caleb filius Jephone, stare contra hostem, et prohibere gentem a peccatis, et perfringere murmur malitiæ.

καὶ γὰρ ἐπηκολούθησεν ὀπίσω δυνάστου καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις Μωυσέως ἐποίησεν ἔλεος αὐτὸς καὶ Χαλεβ υἱὸς Ιεφοννη ἀντιστῆναι ἔναντι ἐκκλησίας κωλῦσαι λαὸν ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας καὶ κοπάσαι γογγυσμὸν πονηρίας

And they two being appointed, were delivered out of the danger from among the number of six hundred thousand men on foot, to bring them into their inheritance, into the land that floweth with milk and honey.

Et ipsi duo constituti a periculo liberati sunt a numero sexcentorum millium peditum, inducere illos in hæreditatem, in terram quæ manat lac et mel.

καὶ αὐτοὶ δύο ὄντες διεσώθησαν ἀπὸ ἑξακοσίων χιλιάδων πεζῶν εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς κληρονομίαν εἰς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι

And the Lord gave strength also to Caleb, and his strength continued even to his old age, so that he went up to the high places of the land, and his seed obtained it for an inheritance:

Et dedit Dominus ipsi Caleb fortitudinem, et usque in senectutem permansit illi virtus, ut ascenderet in excelsum terræ locum, et semen ipsius obtinuit hæreditatem,

καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ κύριος τῷ Χαλεβ ἰσχύν καὶ ἕως γήρους διέμεινεν αὐτῷ ἐπιβῆναι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ὕψος τῆς γῆς καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ κατέσχεν κληρονομίαν

That all the children of Israel might see, that it is good to obey the holy God.

ut viderent omnes filii Israël quia bonum est obsequi sancto Deo.

ὅπως ἴδωσιν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ὅτι καλὸν τὸ πορεύεσθαι ὀπίσω κυρίου

Then all the judges, every one by name, whose heart was not corrupted: who turned not away from the Lord,

Et judices singuli suo nomine, quorum non est corruptum cor, qui non aversi sunt a Domino,

καὶ οἱ κριταί ἕκαστος τῷ αὐτοῦ ὀνόματι ὅσων οὐκ ἐξεπόρνευσεν ἡ καρδία καὶ ὅσοι οὐκ ἀπεστράφησαν ἀπὸ κυρίου

That their memory might be blessed, and their bones spring up out of their place,

ut sit memoria illorum in benedictione, et ossa eorum pullulent de loco suo :

εἴη τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν ἐν εὐλογίαις τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν ἀναθάλοι ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῶν

And their name continue for ever, the glory of the holy men remaining unto their children.

et nomen eorum permaneat in æternum, permanens ad filios illorum, sanctorum virorum gloria.

καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἀντικαταλλασσόμενον ἐφ' υἱοῖς δεδοξασμένων αὐτῶν

Samuel the prophet of the Lord, the beloved of the Lord his God, established a new government, and anointed princes over his people.

Dilectus a Domino Deo suo Samuel, propheta Domini, renovavit imperium, et unxit principes in gente sua.

ἠγαπημένος ὑπὸ κυρίου αὐτοῦ Σαμουηλ προφήτης κυρίου κατέστησεν βασιλείαν καὶ ἔχρισεν ἄρχοντας ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ

By the law of the Lord he judged the congregation, and the God of Jacob beheld, and by his fidelity he was proved a prophet.

In lege Domini congregationem judicavit, et vidit Deus Jacob : et in fide sua probatus est propheta,

ἐν νόμῳ κυρίου ἔκρινεν συναγωγήν καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο κύριος τὸν Ιακωβ

And he was known to be faithful in his words, because he saw the God of light:

et cognitus est in verbis suis fidelis, quia vidit Deum lucis.

ἐν πίστει αὐτοῦ ἠκριβάσθη προφήτης καὶ ἐγνώσθη ἐν ῥήμασιν αὐτοῦ πιστὸς ὁράσεως

And called upon the name of the Lord Almighty, in fighting against the enemies who beset him on every side, when he offered a lamb without blemish.

Et invocavit Dominum omnipotentem, in oppugnando hostes circumstantes undique, in oblatione agni inviolati.

καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν κύριον δυνάστην ἐν τῷ θλῖψαι ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν ἐν προσφορᾷ ἀρνὸς γαλαθηνοῦ

And the Lord thundered from heaven, and with a great noise made his voice to be heard.

Et intonuit de cælo Dominus, et in sonitu magno auditam fecit vocem suam :

καὶ ἐβρόντησεν ἀπ' οὐρανοῦ ὁ κύριος καὶ ἐν ἤχῳ μεγάλῳ ἀκουστὴν ἐποίησεν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ

And he crushed the princes of the Tyrians, and all the lords of the Philistines:

et contrivit principes Tyriorum, et omnes duces Philisthiim :

καὶ ἐξέτριψεν ἡγουμένους Τυρίων καὶ πάντας ἄρχοντας Φυλιστιιμ

And before the time of the end of his life in the world, he protested before the Lord, and his anointed: money, or any thing else, even to a shoe, he had not taken of any man, and no man did accuse him.

et ante tempus finis vitæ suæ et sæculi, testimonium præbuit in conspectu Domini et christi : pecunias et usque ad calceamenta ab omni carne non accepit, et non accusavit illum homo.

καὶ πρὸ καιροῦ κοιμήσεως αἰῶνος ἐπεμαρτύρατο ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ χρήματα καὶ ἕως ὑποδημάτων ἀπὸ πάσης σαρκὸς οὐκ εἴληφα καὶ οὐκ ἐνεκάλεσεν αὐτῷ ἄνθρωπος

And after this he slept, and he made known to the king, and showed him the end of his life, and he lifted up his voice from the earth in prophecy to blot out the wickedness of the nation.

Et post hoc dormivit : et notum fecit regi, et ostendit illi finem vitæ suæ : et exaltavit vocem suam de terra in prophetia, delere impietatem gentis.

καὶ μετὰ τὸ ὑπνῶσαι αὐτὸν προεφήτευσεν καὶ ὑπέδειξεν βασιλεῖ τὴν τελευτὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνύψωσεν ἐκ γῆς τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν προφητείᾳ ἐξαλεῖψαι ἀνομίαν λαοῦ
