O God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,
|
ΘΕΕ πατέρων καὶ Κύριε τοῦ ἐλέους ὁ ποιήσας τὰ πάντα ἐν λόγῳ σου
|
|

|

|
|
and ordained man through thy wisdom, that he should have dominion over the creatures which thou hast made,
|
καὶ τῇ σοφίᾳ σου κατεσκεύσασας ἄνθρωπον, ἵνα δεσπόζῃ τῶν ὑπὸ σοῦ γενομένων κτισμάτων
|
|

|
|
and order the world according to equity and righteousness, and execute judgment with an upright heart:
|
καὶ διέπῃ τὸν κόσμον ἐν ὁσιότητι καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἐν εὐθύτητι ψυχῆς κρίσιν κρίνῃ,
|
|
4
|

|
|
give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne; and reject me not from among thy children:
|
δός μοι τὴν τῶν σῶν θρόνων πάρεδρον σοφίαν καὶ μή με ἀποδοκιμάσῃς ἐκ παίδων σου.
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
for I thy servant and son of thine handmaid am a feeble person, and of a short time, and too young for the understanding of judgment and laws.
|
ὅτι ἐγὼ δοῦλος σὸς καὶ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης σου, ἄνθρωπος ἀσθενὴς καὶ ὀλιγοχρόνιος καὶ ἐλάσσων ἐν συνέσει κρίσεως καὶ νόμων·
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
For though a man be never so perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.
|
κἂν γάρ τις ᾖ τέλειος ἐν υἱοῖς ἀνθρώπων, τῆς ἀπὸ σοῦ σοφίας ἀπούσης, εἰς οὐδὲν λογισθήσεται.
|

|
|
Thou hast chosen me to be a king of thy people, and a judge of thy sons and daughters:
|
σύ με προείλω βασιλέα λαοῦ σου καὶ δικαστὴν υἱῶν σου καί θυγατέρων·
|
|
8
|

|
|
thou hast commanded me to build a temple upon thy holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein thou dwellest, a resemblance of the holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared from the beginning.
|
εἶπας οἰκοδομῆσαι ναὸν ἐν ὄρει ἁγίῳ σου καὶ ἐν πόλει κατασκηνώσεώς σου θυσιαστήριον, μίμημα σκηνῆς ἁγίας, ἣν προητοίμασας ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς.
|

|
|
And wisdom was with thee: which knoweth thy works, and was present when thou madest the world, and knew what was acceptable in thy sight, and right in thy commandments.
|
καὶ μετὰ σοῦ ἡ σοφία ἡ εἰδυῖα τὰ ἔργα σου καὶ παροῦσα, ὅτε ἐποίεις τὸν κόσμον, καὶ ἐπισταμένη τί ἀρεστὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ τί εὐθὲς ἐν ἐντολαῖς σου.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
O send her out of thy holy heavens, and from the throne of thy glory, that being present she may labour with me, that I may know what is pleasing unto thee.
|
ἐξαπόστειλον αὐτὴν ἐξ ἁγίων οὐρανῶν καὶ ἀπὸ θρόνου δόξης σου πέμψον αὐτήν, ἵνα συμπαροῦσά μοι κοπιάσῃ καὶ γνῶ τί εὐάρεστόν ἐστι παρά σοί.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me in her power.
|
οἶδε γὰρ ἐκείνη πάντα καὶ συνίει καὶ ὁδηγήσει με ἐν ταῖς πράξεσί μου σωφρόνως καὶ φυλάξει με ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτῆς·
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge thy people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my father's seat.
|
καὶ ἔσται προσδεκτὰ τὰ ἔργα μου, καὶ διακρινῶ τὸν λαόν σου δικαίως καὶ ἔσομαι ἄξιος θρόνων πατρός μου.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
For what man is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of the Lord is?
|
τίς γὰρ ἄνθρωπος γνώσεται βουλὴν Θεοῦ; ἢ τίς ἐνθυμηθήσεται τί θέλει ὁ Κύριος;
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
For the thoughts of mortal men are miserable, and our devices are but uncertain.
|
λογισμοὶ γὰρ θνητῶν δειλοί, καὶ ἐπισφαλεῖς αἱ ἐπίνοιαι ἡμῶν.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
For the corruptible body presseth down the soul, and the earthy tabernacle weigheth down the mind that museth upon many things.
|
φθαρτὸν γὰρ σῶμα βαρύνει ψυχήν, καὶ βρίθει τὸ γεῶδες σκῆνος νοῦν πολυφρόντιδα.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth, and with labour do we find the things that are before us: but the things that are in heaven who hath searched out?
|
καὶ μόλις εἰκάζομεν τὰ ἐπὶ γῆς καί τὰ ἐν χερσὶν εὑρίσκομεν μετὰ πόνου· τὰ δὲ ἐν οὐρανοῖς τίς ἐξιχνίασε;
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
And thy counsel who hath known, except thou give wisdom, and send thy Holy Spirit from above?
|
βουλὴν δέ σου τίς ἔγων, εἰ μὴ σὺ ἔδωκας σοφίαν καὶ ἔπεμψας τὸ ἅγιόν σου πνεῦμα ἀπὸ ὑψίστων;
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
For so the ways of them which lived on the earth were reformed, and men were taught the things that are pleasing unto thee, and were saved through wisdom.
|
καὶ οὕτως διωρθώθησαν αἱ τρίβοι τῶν ἐπὶ γῆς, καὶ τὰ ἀρεστά σου ἐδιδάχθησαν ἄνθρωποι,
