Simon the high priest, the son of Onias, who in his life repaired the house again, and in his days fortified the temple:

¹

Сі́мѡнъ сы́нъ ѻ҆ні́инъ і҆ере́й вели́кїй, и҆́же въ животѣ̀ свое́мъ состро́и до́мъ и҆ во дни̑ своѧ̑ оу҆твердѝ це́рковь.

²

and by him was built from the foundation the double height, the high fortress of the wall about the temple:

²

И҆ тѣ́мъ ѡ҆снована̀ бы́сть высота̀ сꙋгꙋ́ба, воздвиже́нїе высо́ко ѡ҆гражде́нїѧ церко́внагѡ.

³

in his days the cistern to receive water, being in compass as the sea, was covered with plates of brass:

³

Во дни̑ є҆гѡ̀ оу҆ма́лишасѧ сосꙋ́ди водні́и, ро́въ ꙗ҆́кѡ мо́рѧ ѡ҆крꙋже́нїе.

⁴

he took care of the temple that it should not fall, and fortified the city against besieging:

⁴

Блюды́й лю́ди своѧ̑ ѿ паде́нїѧ и҆ оу҆крѣпи́вый гра́дъ во ѡ҆бсѣде́нїи.

⁵

how was he honoured in the midst of the people in his coming out of the sanctuary!

⁵

Ко́ль просла́вленъ бы́сть въ сожи́телствѣ люді́й, во и҆схо́дѣ до́мꙋ катапета́смы;

⁶

He was as the morning star in the midst of a cloud, and as the moon at the full:

⁶

ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕвѣзда̀ оу҆́треннѧѧ посредѣ̀ ѡ҆блакѡ́въ, а҆́ки лꙋна̀ полна̀ во дне́хъ свои́хъ,

⁷

as the sun shining upon the temple of the most High, and as the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds:

⁷

ꙗ҆́кѡ со́лнце сїѧ́ющее на це́рковь вы́шнѧгѡ, и҆ а҆́ки дꙋга̀ свѣтѧ́щаѧсѧ на ѡ҆́блацѣхъ сла́вы:

⁸

and as the flower of roses in the spring of the year, as lilies by the rivers of waters, and as the branches of the frankincense tree in the time of summer:

⁸

ꙗ҆́кѡ цвѣ́тъ ши́пкѡвъ во дне́хъ весе́нныхъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ крі́нъ при и҆схо́дищихъ воды̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ стебло̀ лїва́ново во дне́хъ жа́твы:

⁹

as fire and incense in the censer, and as a vessel of beaten gold set with all manner of precious stones:

⁹

ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́гнь и҆ лїва́нъ на ѻ҆гни́щи,

¹⁰

and as a fair olive tree budding forth fruit, and as a cypress tree which groweth up to the clouds.

¹⁰

ꙗ҆́коже сосꙋ́дъ зла́тъ и҆ско́ванъ, оу҆кра́шенъ всѧ́кимъ ка́менїемъ многоцѣ́ннымъ,

¹¹

When he put on the robe of honour, and was clothed with the perfection of glory, when he went up to the holy altar, he made the garment of holiness honourable.

¹¹

ꙗ҆́кѡ ма́слина и҆зносѧ́щаѧ плоды̀ и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ кѷпарі́съ возраста́ѧй до ѡ҆́блакъ.

¹²

When he took the portions out of the priests' hands, he himself stood by the hearth of the altar, compassed with his brethren round about, as a young cedar in Libanus; and as palm trees compassed they him round about.

¹²

Внегда̀ взима́ти є҆мꙋ̀ ѻ҆де́ждꙋ сла́вы и҆ ѡ҆блача́тисѧ є҆мꙋ̀ въ соверше́нїе хвале́нїѧ, въ восхожде́нїи ѻ҆лтарѧ̀ ст҃а́гѡ просла́ви ѻ҆де́ждꙋ ст҃ы́ни.

¹³

So were all the sons of Aaron in their glory, and the oblations of the Lord in their hands, before all the congregation of Israel.

¹³

Внегда́ же прїима́ти ча̑сти ѿ рꙋ́къ і҆ере́йскихъ, и҆ то́й стоѧ́ше при ѻ҆гни́щи ѻ҆лтарѧ̀:

¹⁴

And finishing the service at the altar, that he might adorn the offering of the most high Almighty,

¹⁴

ѡ҆́крестъ є҆гѡ̀ вѣне́цъ бра́тїи, ꙗ҆́кѡ прозѧбе́нїе ке́дрско въ лїва́нѣ, и҆ ѡ҆крꙋжи́ша є҆го̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ сте́блїе фі́нїково:

¹⁵

he stretched out his hand to the cup, and poured of the blood of the grape, he poured out at the foot of the altar a sweetsmelling savour unto the most high King of all.

¹⁵

и҆ всѝ сы́нове а҆арѡ̑ни во сла́вѣ свое́й, и҆ приноше́нїе гдⷭ҇не въ рꙋка́хъ и҆́хъ пред̾ всѣ́мъ собо́ромъ і҆и҃левымъ.

¹⁶

Then shouted the sons of Aaron, and sounded the silver trumpets, and made a great noise to be heard, for a remembrance before the most High.

¹⁶

И҆ соверше́нїе слꙋжи́телей на ѻ҆лтаре́хъ, є҆́же оу҆краси́ти приноше́нїе вы́шнѧгѡ вседержи́телѧ,

¹⁷

Then all the people together hasted, and fell down to the earth upon their faces to worship their Lord God Almighty, the most High.

¹⁷

прострѐ на ча́шꙋ возлїѧ́нїѧ рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀, и҆згнетѐ ѿ кро́ве гро́здныѧ, возлїѧ̀ на ѡ҆снова́нїе ѻ҆лтарѧ̀ въ воню̀ благоꙋха́нїѧ вы́шнемꙋ всѣ́хъ цр҃е́ви.

¹⁸

The singers also sang praises with their voices, with great variety of sounds was there made sweet melody.

¹⁸

Тогда̀ возопи́ша сы́нове а҆арѡ̑ни, трꙋба́ми ко́ваными вострꙋби́ша, оу҆слы́шанъ сотвори́ша гла́съ вели́къ на па́мѧть пред̾ вы́шнимъ.

¹⁹

And the people besought the Lord, the most High, by prayer before him that is merciful, till the solemnity of the Lord was ended, and they had finished his service.

¹⁹

Тогда̀ всѝ лю́дїе ѻ҆́бще приспѣ́ша и҆ падо́ша ни́цы на землѝ поклони́тисѧ гдⷭ҇еви своемꙋ̀ вседержи́телю бг҃ꙋ вы́шнемꙋ:

²⁰

Then he went down, and lifted up his hands over the whole congregation of the children of Israel, to give the blessing of the Lord with his lips, and to rejoice in his name.

²⁰

и҆ восхвали́ша пѣвцы̀ гла̑сы свои́ми, въ вели́цѣмъ гла́сѣ оу҆слади́сѧ пѣ́нїе:

²¹

And they bowed themselves down to worship the second time, that they might receive a blessing from the most High.

²¹

и҆ помоли́шасѧ лю́дїе гдⷭ҇ꙋ вы́шнемꙋ моли́твою пред̾ млⷭ҇тивымъ, до́ндеже соверши́сѧ красота̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ, и҆ слꙋ́жбꙋ свою̀ сконча́ша.

²²

Now therefore bless ye the God of all, which only doeth wondrous things every where, which exalteth our days from the womb, and dealeth with us according to his mercy.

²²

Тогда̀ соше́дъ воздви́же рꙋ́ки своѧ̑ на ве́сь собо́ръ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ, да́ти бл҃гослове́нїе гдⷭ҇еви ѿ оу҆сте́нъ свои́хъ и҆ и҆́менемъ є҆гѡ̀ похвали́тисѧ.

²³

He grant us joyfulness of heart, and that peace may be in our days in Israel for ever:

²³

И҆ повторѝ поклоне́нїе прїѧ́ти блгⷭ҇ве́нїе ѿ вы́шнѧгѡ.

²⁴

that he would confirm his mercy with us, and deliver us at his time!

²⁴

И҆ нн҃ѣ благослове́нїе бг҃а всѣ́хъ, вє́лїѧ творѧ́щагѡ є҆ди́нагѡ всю́дꙋ, возносѧ́щагѡ дни̑ на́шѧ ѿ ложе́снъ и҆ творѧ́щагѡ съ на́ми по млⷭ҇ти свое́й:

²⁵

There be two manner of nations which my heart abhorreth, and the third is no nation:

²⁵

да да́стъ на́мъ весе́лїе се́рдца, и҆ да бꙋ́детъ ми́ръ во дни̑ на́шѧ во і҆и҃ли ꙗ҆́коже дни̑ вѣ́ка:

²⁶

they that sit upon the mountain of Samaria, and they that dwell among the Philistines, and that foolish people that dwell in Sichem.

²⁶

да оу҆вѣ́ритъ съ на́ми млⷭ҇ть свою̀ и҆ во дни̑ своѧ̑ и҆зба́витъ ны̀.

²⁷

Jesus the son of Sirach of Jerusalem hath written in this book the instruction of understanding and knowledge, who out of his heart poured forth wisdom.

²⁷

Два̀ ꙗ҆зы̑ка ѡ҆мерзѣ́ста дꙋшѝ мое́й, а҆ тре́тїй нѣ́сть ꙗ҆зы́къ:

²⁸

Blessed is he that shall be exercised in these things: and he that layeth them up in his heart shall become wise.

²⁸

сѣдѧ́щїи на горѣ̀ самарі́йстѣй и҆ фѷлїсті́млѧне, и҆ лю́дїе бꙋ́и живꙋ́щїи въ сїкі́мѣхъ.

²⁹

For if he do them, he shall be strong to all things: for the light of the Lord is his path.

²⁹

Наказа́нїе ра́зꙋма и҆ вѣ́дѣнїѧ начерта̀ въ кни́зѣ се́й і҆исꙋ́съ сы́нъ сїра́ховъ, і҆ерⷭ҇ли́млѧнинъ, и҆́же ѡ҆дождѝ премꙋ́дрость ѿ се́рдца своегѡ̀.
