| 1 ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι κύριε βασιλεῦ καὶ αἰνέσω σε θεὸν τὸν σωτῆρά μου 2 ἐξομολογοῦμαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου 3 ὅτι σκεπαστὴς καὶ βοηθὸς ἐγένου μοι καὶ ἐλυτρώσω τὸ σῶμά μου ἐξ ἀπωλείας καὶ ἐκ παγίδος διαβολῆς γλώσσης ἀπὸ χειλέων ἐργαζομένων ψεῦδος καὶ ἔναντι τῶν παρεστηκότων ἐγένου βοηθὸς 4 καὶ ἐλυτρώσω με κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος ἐλέους καὶ ὀνόματός σου ἐκ βρυγμῶν ἕτοιμον εἰς βρῶμα 5 ἐκ χειρὸς ζητούντων τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ πλειόνων θλίψεων ὧν ἔσχον 6 ἀπὸ πνιγμοῦ πυρᾶς κυκλόθεν καὶ ἐκ μέσου πυρός οὗ οὐκ ἐξέκαυσα 7 ἐκ βάθους κοιλίας ᾅδου καὶ ἀπὸ γλώσσης ἀκαθάρτου καὶ λόγου ψευδοῦς βασιλεῖ διαβολὴ γλώσσης ἀδίκου 8 ἤγγισεν ἕως θανάτου ἡ ψυχή μου 9 καὶ ἡ ζωή μου ἦν σύνεγγυς ᾅδου κάτω 10 περιέσχον με πάντοθεν καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ βοηθῶν ἐνέβλεπον εἰς ἀντίλημψιν ἀνθρώπων καὶ οὐκ ἦν 11 καὶ ἐμνήσθην τοῦ ἐλέους σου κύριε καὶ τῆς ἐργασίας σου τῆς ἀπ' αἰῶνος 12 ὅτι ἐξαιρῇ τοὺς ὑπομένοντάς σε καὶ σῴζεις αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν 13 καὶ ἀνύψωσα ἀπὸ γῆς ἱκετείαν μου καὶ ὑπὲρ θανάτου ῥύσεως ἐδεήθην 14 ἐπεκαλεσάμην κύριον πατέρα κυρίου μου μή με ἐγκαταλιπεῖν ἐν ἡμέραις θλίψεως ἐν καιρῷ ὑπερηφανιῶν ἀβοηθησίας 15 αἰνέσω τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐνδελεχῶς καὶ ὑμνήσω ἐν ἐξομολογήσει καὶ εἰσηκούσθη ἡ δέησίς μου 16 ἔσωσας γάρ με ἐξ ἀπωλείας καὶ ἐξείλου με ἐκ καιροῦ πονηροῦ 17 διὰ τοῦτο ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι καὶ αἰνέσω σε καὶ εὐλογήσω τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου | 1 A prayer of Jesus the son of Sirach. I will give glory to you, O Lord, O King, and I will praise you, O God my Saviour. 2 I will give glory to your name: for you have been a helper and protector to me. 3 And have preserved my body from destruction, from the snare of an unjust tongue, and from the lips of them that forge lies, and in the sight of them that stood by, you have been my helper. 4 And you have delivered me, according to the multitude of the mercy of your name, from them that did roar, prepared to devour. 5 Out of the hands of them that sought my life, and from the gates of afflictions, which compassed me about: 6 From the oppression of the flame which surrounded me, and in the midst of the fire I was not burnt. 7 From the depth of the belly of hell, and from an unclean tongue, and from lying words, from an unjust king, and from a slanderous tongue: 8 My soul shall praise the Lord even to death. 9 And my life was drawing near to hell beneath. 10 They compassed me on every side, and there was no one that would help me. I looked for the succour of men, and there was none. 11 I remembered your mercy, O Lord, and your works, which are from the beginning of the world. 12 How you deliver them that wait for you, O Lord, and save them out of the hands of the nations. 13 You have exalted my dwelling place upon the earth and I have prayed for death to pass away. 14 I called upon the Lord, the father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the day of my trouble, and in the time of the proud without help. 15 I will praise your name continually, and will praise it with thanksgiving, and my prayer was heard. 16 And you have saved me from destruction, and have delivered me from the evil time. 17 Therefore I will give thanks, and praise you, and bless the name of the Lord. | 1 Oratio Jesu filii Sirach. Confitebor tibi, Domine rex, et collaudabo te Deum salvatorem meum. 2 Confitebor nomini tuo, quoniam adjutor et protector factus es mihi, 3 et liberasti corpus meum a perditione : a laqueo linguæ iniquæ, et a labiis operantium mendacium : et in conspectu astantium factus es mihi adjutor. 4 Et liberasti me, secundum multitudinem misericordiæ nominis tui, a rugientibus præparatis ad escam : 5 de manibus quærentium animam meam, et de portis tribulationum quæ circumdederunt me; 6 a pressura flammæ quæ circumdedit me, et in medio ignis non sum æstuatus; 7 de altitudine ventris inferi, et a lingua coinquinata, et a verbo mendacii, a rege iniquo, et a lingua injusta. 8 Laudabit usque ad mortem anima mea Dominum, 9 et vita mea appropinquans erat in inferno deorsum. 10 Circumdederunt me undique, et non erat qui adjuvaret : respiciens eram ad adjutorium hominum, et non erat. 11 Memoratus sum misericordiæ tuæ Domine, et operationis tuæ, quæ a sæculo sunt : 12 quoniam eruis sustinentes te, Domine, et liberas eos de manibus gentium. 13 Exaltasti super terram habitationem meam, et pro morte defluente deprecatus sum. 14 Invocavi Dominum patrem Domini mei, ut non derelinquat me in die tribulationis meæ, et in tempore superborum, sine adjutorio. 15 Laudabo nomen tuum assidue, et collaudabo illud in confessione : et exaudita est oratio mea, 16 et liberasti me de perditione, et eripuisti me de tempore iniquo. 17 Propterea confitebor, et laudem dicam tibi, et benedicam nomini Domini. |
| 18 ἔτι ὢν νεώτερος πρὶν ἢ πλανηθῆναί με ἐζήτησα σοφίαν προφανῶς ἐν προσευχῇ μου 19 ἔναντι ναοῦ ἠξίουν περὶ αὐτῆς καὶ ἕως ἐσχάτων ἐκζητήσω αὐτήν ἐξ ἄνθους ὡς περκαζούσης σταφυλῆς 20 εὐφράνθη ἡ καρδία μου ἐν αὐτῇ ἐπέβη ὁ πούς μου ἐν εὐθύτητι ἐκ νεότητός μου ἴχνευον αὐτήν 21 ἔκλινα ὀλίγον τὸ οὖς μου καὶ ἐδεξάμην 22 καὶ πολλὴν εὗρον ἐμαυτῷ παιδείαν προκοπὴ ἐγένετό μοι ἐν αὐτῇ 23 τῷ διδόντι μοι σοφίαν δώσω δόξαν 24 διενοήθην γὰρ τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτὴν καὶ ἐζήλωσα τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ οὐ μὴ αἰσχυνθῶ 25 διαμεμάχισται ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ ἐν ποιήσει νόμου διηκριβασάμην 26 τὰς χεῖράς μου ἐξεπέτασα πρὸς ὕψος καὶ τὰ ἀγνοήματα αὐτῆς ἐπένθησα 27 τὴν ψυχήν μου κατεύθυνα εἰς αὐτὴν 28 καὶ ἐν καθαρισμῷ εὗρον αὐτήν καρδίαν ἐκτησάμην μετ' αὐτῆς ἀπ' ἀρχῆς διὰ τοῦτο οὐ μὴ ἐγκαταλειφθῶ 29 καὶ ἡ κοιλία μου ἐταράχθη τοῦ ἐκζητῆσαι αὐτήν διὰ τοῦτο ἐκτησάμην ἀγαθὸν κτῆμα 30 ἔδωκεν κύριος γλῶσσάν μοι μισθόν μου καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ αἰνέσω αὐτόν 31 ἐγγίσατε πρός με ἀπαίδευτοι καὶ αὐλίσθητε ἐν οἴκῳ παιδείας 32 τί ὅτι ὑστερεῖσθαι λέγετε ἐν τούτοις καὶ αἱ ψυχαὶ ὑμῶν διψῶσι σφόδρα 33 ἤνοιξα τὸ στόμα μου καὶ ἐλάλησα κτήσασθε ἑαυτοῖς ἄνευ ἀργυρίου 34 τὸν τράχηλον ὑμῶν ὑπόθετε ὑπὸ ζυγόν καὶ ἐπιδεξάσθω ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν παιδείαν ἐγγύς ἐστιν εὑρεῖν αὐτήν 35 ἴδετε ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν ὅτι ὀλίγον ἐκοπίασα καὶ εὗρον ἐμαυτῷ πολλὴν ἀνάπαυσιν 36 μετάσχετε παιδείας ἐν πολλῷ ἀριθμῷ ἀργυρίου καὶ πολὺν χρυσὸν κτήσασθε ἐν αὐτῇ 37 εὐφρανθείη ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ ἐλέει αὐτοῦ καὶ μὴ αἰσχυνθείητε ἐν αἰνέσει αὐτοῦ 38 ἐργάζεσθε τὸ ἔργον ὑμῶν πρὸ καιροῦ καὶ δώσει τὸν μισθὸν ὑμῶν ἐν καιρῷ αὐτοῦ | 18 When I was yet young, before I wandered about, I sought for wisdom openly in my prayer. 19 I prayed for her before the temple, and unto the very end I will seek after her, and she flourished as a grape soon ripe. 20 My heart delighted in her, my foot walked in the right way, from my youth up I sought after her. 21 I bowed down my ear a little, and received her. 22 I found much wisdom in myself, and profited much therein. 23 To him that gives me wisdom, will I give glory. 24 For I have determined to follow her: I have had a zeal for good, and shall not be confounded. 25 My soul has wrestled for her, and in doing it I have been confirmed. 26 I stretched forth my hands on high, and I bewailed my ignorance of her. 27 I directed my soul to her, and in knowledge I found her. 28 I possessed my heart with her from the beginning: therefore I shall not be forsaken. 29 My entrails were troubled in seeking her: therefore shall I possess a good possession. 30 The Lord has given me a tongue for my reward: and with it I will praise him. 31 Draw near to me, you unlearned, and gather yourselves together into the hours of discipline. 32 Why are you slow and what do you say of these things? Your souls are exceeding thirsty. 33 I have opened my mouth, and have spoken: buy her for yourselves without silver, 34 and submit your neck to the yoke, and let your soul receive discipline: for she is near at hand to be found. 35 Behold with your eyes how I have laboured a little, and have found much rest to myself. 36 Receive discipline as a great sum of money, and possess abundance of gold by her. 37 Let your soul rejoice in his mercy and you shall not be confounded in his praise. 38 Work your work before the time, and he will give you your reward in his time. | 18 Cum adhuc junior essem, priusquam oberrarem, quæsivi sapientiam palam in oratione mea. 19 Ante templum postulabam pro illis, et usque in novissimis inquiram eam : et effloruit tamquam præcox uva. 20 Lætatum est cor meum in ea : ambulavit pes meus iter rectum : a juventute mea investigabam eam. 21 Inclinavi modico aurem meam, et excepi illam. 22 Multam inveni in meipso sapientiam, et multum profeci in ea. 23 Danti mihi sapientiam dabo gloriam: 24 consiliatus sum enim ut facerem illam. Zelatus sum bonum, et non confundar. 25 Colluctata est anima mea in illa, et in faciendo eam confirmatus sum. 26 Manus meas extendi in altum, et insipientiam ejus luxi; 27 animam meam direxi ad illam, et in agnitione inveni eam. 28 Possedi cum ipsa cor ab initio : propter hoc, non derelinquar. 29 Venter meus conturbatus est quærendo illam : propterea bonam possidebo possessionem. 30 Dedit mihi Dominus linguam mercedem meam, et in ipsa laudabo eum. 31 Appropiate ad me, indocti, et congregate vos in domum disciplinæ. 32 Quid adhuc retardatis? et quid dicitis in his? animæ vestræ sitiunt vehementer. 33 Aperui os meum, et locutus sum : Comparate vobis sine argento, 34 et collum vestrum subjicite jugo : et suscipiat anima vestra disciplinam : in proximo est enim invenire eam. 35 Videte oculis vestris, quia modicum laboravi, et inveni mihi multam requiem. 36 Assumite disciplinam in multo numero argenti, et copiosum aurum possidete in ea. 37 Lætetur anima vestra in misericordia ejus, et non confundemini in laude ipsius. 38 Operamini opus vestrum ante tempus, et dabit vobis mercedem vestram in tempore suo. |
