| Let us now praise famous men, and our fathers that begat us. | ΓΑΥΡΙΑΜΑ ὕψους στερέωμα καθαριότητος, εἶδος οὐρανοῦ ἐν ὁράματι δόξης. |

| The Lord hath wrought great glory by them through his great power from the beginning. | ἥλιος ἐν ὀπτασίᾳ διαγγέλων ἐν ἐξόδῳ, σκεῦος θαυμαστόν, ἔργον ῾Υψίστου. |

| Such as did bear rule in their kingdoms, men renowned for their power, giving counsel by their understanding, and declaring prophecies: | ἐν μεσημβρίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀναξηραίνει χώραν, καὶ ἐναντίον καύματος αὐτοῦ τίς ὑποστήσεται; |

| leaders of the people by their counsels, and by their knowledge of learning meet for the people, wise and eloquent in their instruction: | κάμινον φυσῶν ἐν ἔργοις καύματος, τριπλασίως ἥλιος ἐκκαίων ὄρη· ἀτμίδας πυρώδεις ἐκφυσῶν καὶ ἐκλάμπων ἀκτῖνας ἀμαυροῖ ὀφθαλμούς. |

| such as found out musical tunes, and recited verses in writing: | μέγας Κύριος ὁ ποιήσας αὐτόν, καὶ ἐν λόγοις αὐτοῦ κατέσπευσε πορείαν.— |
|

|
| rich men furnished with ability, living peaceably in their habitations: | Καὶ ἡ σελήνη ἐν πᾶσιν εἰς καιρὸν αὐτῆς, ἀνάδειξιν χρόνων καὶ σημεῖον αἰῶνος. |
|

|
| all these were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of their times. | ἀπὸ σελήνης σημεῖον ἑορτῆς, φωστὴρ μειούμενος ἐπὶ συντελείας. |

|
| There be of them that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported. | μὴν κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς ἐστιν, αὐξανομένη θαυμαστῶς ἐν ἀλλοιώσει, σκεῦος παρεμβολῶν ἐν ὕψει, ἐν στερεώματι οὐρανοῦ ἐκλάμπων. |

|
| And some there be, which have no memorial; who are perished, as though they had never been; and are become as though they had never been born; and their children after them. | κάλλος οὐρανοῦ, δόξα ἄστρων, κόσμος φωτίζων ἐν ὑψίστοις Κυρίου· |
|

|

|
| But these were merciful men, whose righteousness hath not been forgotten. | ἐν λόγοις ἁγίου στήσονται κατὰ κρίμα καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκλυθῶσιν ἐν φυλακαῖς αὐτῶν. |

|
| With their seed shall continually remain a good inheritance, and their children are within the covenant. | ἰδὲ τόξον καὶ εὐλόγησον τὸν ποιήσαντα αὐτό, σφόδρα ὡραῖον ἐν τῷ αὐγάσματι αὐτοῦ· |
|
12
|

|
| Their seed standeth fast, and their children for their sakes. | ἐγύρωσεν οὐρανὸν ἐν κυκλώσει δόξης, χεῖρες ῾Υψίστου ἐτάνυσαν αὐτό.— |
|
13
|
13
|
| Their seed shall remain for ever, and their glory shall not be blotted out. | Προστάγματι αὐτοῦ κατέσπευσε χιόνα καὶ ταχύνει ἀστραπὰς κρίματος αὐτοῦ. |
|

|
| Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore. | διὰ τοῦτο ἠνεῴχθησαν θησαυροί, καὶ ἐξέπτησαν νεφέλαι ὡς πετεινά· |
|
15
|

|
| The people will tell of their wisdom, and the congregation will shew forth their praise. | ἐν μεγαλείῳ αὐτοῦ ἴσχυσε νεφέλας, καὶ διεθρύβησαν λίθοι χαλάζης· |
|

|
| Enoch pleased the Lord, and was translated, being an example of repentance to all generations. | καὶ ἐν ὀπτασίαις αὐτοῦ σαλευθήσεται ὄρη, ἐν θελήματι πνεύσεται νότος. |

| Noah was found perfect and righteous; in the time of wrath he was taken in exchange for the world; therefore was he left as a remnant unto the earth, when the flood came. | φωνὴ βροντῆς αὐτοῦ ὠδίνησε γῆν καὶ καταιγὶς Βορέου καὶ συστροφὴ πνεύματος. |
|
18
|

|
| An everlasting covenant was made with him, that all flesh shall perish no more by the flood. | ὡς πετεινὰ καθιπτάμενα πάσσει χιόνα, καὶ ὡς ἀκρὶς καταλύουσα ἡ κατάβασς αὐτῆς· κάλλος λευκότητος αὐτῆς ἐκθαυμάσει ὀφθαλμός, καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ ὑετοῦ αὐτῆς ἐκστήσεται καρδία. |

| Abraham was a great father of many people: in glory was there none like unto him; | καὶ πάχνην ὡς ἅλα ἐπὶ γῆς χέει, καὶ παγεῖσα γίνεται σκολόπων ἄκρα. |
|

| who kept the law of the most High, and was in covenant with him: he established the covenant in his flesh; and when he was proved, he was found faithful. | ψυχρὸς ἄνεμος Βορέης πνεύσει, καὶ παγήσεται κρύσταλλος ἐφ᾿ ὕδατος· ἐπὶ πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν ὕδατος καταλύσει, καὶ ὡς θώρακα ἐνδύσεται τὸ ὕδωρ. |

|
| Therefore he assured him by an oath, that he would bless the nations in his seed, and that he would multiply him as the dust of the earth, and exalt his seed as the stars, and cause them to inherit from sea to sea, and from the river unto the utmost part of the land. | καταφάγεται ὄρη καὶ ἔρημον ἐκκαύσει καὶ ἀποσβέσει χλόην ὡς πῦρ. |
|

|
| With Isaac did he establish likewise, for Abraham his father's sake, the blessing of all men, and the covenant, | ἴασις πάντων κατὰ σπουδὴν ὁμίχλη, δρόσος ἀπαντῶσα ἀπὸ καύσωνος ἱλαρώσει.— |

|
| and made it rest upon the head of Jacob. He acknowledged him in his blessing, and gave him an heritage, and divided his portions; among the twelve tribes did he part them. | Λογισμῷ αὐτοῦ ἐκόπασεν ἄβυσσον, καὶ ἐφύτευσεν ἐν αὐτῇ νήσους. |
