1Ο ΣΥΝΤΗΡΩΝ νόμον πλεονάζει προσφοράς, θυσιάζων σωτηρίου ὁ προσέχων ἐντολαῖς.
1He that keepeth the law, multiplieth offerings.
2ἀνταποδιδοὺς χάριν προσφέρων σεμίδαλιν, καὶ ὁ ποιῶν ἐλεημοσύνην θυσιάζων αἰνέσεως.
2It is a wholesome sacrifice to take heed to the commandments, and to depart from all iniquity.
3εὐδοκία Κυρίου ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ πονηρίας, καὶ ἐξιλασμὸς ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ ἀδικίας.
3And to depart from injustice, is to offer a propitiatory sacrifice for injustices, and a begging of pardon for sins.
4μὴ ὀφθῇς ἐν προσώπῳ Κυρίου κενός, πάντα γὰρ ταῦτα χάριν ἐντολῆς.
4He shall return thanks, that offereth fine flour: and he that doth mercy, offereth sacrifice.
5προσφορὰ δικαίου λιπαίνει θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἡ εὐωδία αὐτῆς ἔναντι Ὑψίστου.
5To depart from iniquity is that which pleaseth the Lord, and to depart from injustice, is an entreaty for sins.
6θυσία ἀνδρὸς δικαίου δεκτή, καὶ τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται.
6Thou shalt not appear empty in the sight of the Lord.
7ἐν ἀγαθῷ ὀφθαλμῷ δόξασον τὸν Κύριον, καὶ μὴ σμικρύνῃς ἀπαρχὴν χειρῶν σου.
7For all these things are to be done because of the commandment of God.
8ἐν πάσῃ δόσει ἱλάρωσον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου καὶ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ ἁγίασον δεκάτην.
8The oblation of the just maketh the altar fat, and is an odour of sweetness in the sight of the most High.
9δὸς Ὑψίστῳ κατὰ τὴν δόσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ἀγαθῷ ὀφθαλμῷ καθ᾿ εὕρεμα χειρός·
9The sacrifice of the just is acceptable, and the Lord will not forget the memorial thereof.
10ὅτι Κύριος ἀνταποδιδούς ἐστι καὶ ἑπταπλάσια ἀνταποδώσει σοι.
10Give glory to God with a good heart: and diminish not the firstfruits of thy hands.
11Μὴ δωροκόπει, οὐ γὰρ προσδέξεται·
11In every gift shew a cheerful countenance, and sanctify thy tithes with joy.
12καὶ μὴ ἔπεχε θυσίᾳ ἀδίκῳ, ὅτι Κύριος κριτής ἐστι, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι παρ᾿ αὐτῷ δόξα προσώπου.
12Give to the most High according to what he hath given to thee, and with a good eye do according to the ability of thy hands:
13οὐ λήψεται πρόσωπον ἐπὶ πτωχοῦ καὶ δέησιν ἠδικημένου εἰσακούσεται·
13For the Lord maketh recompense, and will give thee seven times as much.
14οὐ μὴ ὑπερίδῃ ἱκετείαν ὀρφανοῦ καὶ χήραν, ἐὰν ἐκχέῃ λαλιάν·
14Do not offer wicked gifts, for such he will not receive.
15οὐχὶ δάκρυα χήρας ἐπὶ σιαγόνα καταβαίνει καὶ ἡ καταβόησις ἐπὶ τῷ καταγαγόντι αὐτά;
15And look not upon an unjust sacrifice, for the Lord is judge, and there is not with him respect of person.
16θεραπεύων ἐν εὐδοκίᾳ δεχθήσεται, καὶ ἡ δέησις αὐτοῦ ἕως νεφελῶν συνάψει.
16The Lord will not accept any person against a poor man, and he will hear the prayer of him that is wronged.
17προσευχὴ ταπεινοῦ νεφέλας διῆλθε, καὶ ἕως συνεγγίσῃ, οὐ μὴ παρακληθῇ·
17He will not despise the prayers of the fatherless; nor the widow, when she poureth out her complaint.
18καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστῇ, ἕως ἐπισκέψηται ὁ Ὓψιστος. καὶ κρινεῖ δικαίως καὶ ποιήσει κρίσιν.
18Do not the widow’s tears run down the cheek, and her cry against him that causeth them to fall?
19καὶ ὁ Κύριος οὐ μὴ βραδύνῃ, οὐδὲ μὴ μακροθυμήσῃ ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς,
19For from the cheek they go up even to heaven, and the Lord that heareth will not be delighted with them.
20ἕως ἂν συντρίψῃ ὀσφὺν ἀνελεημόνων, καὶ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἀνταποδώσει ἐκδίκησιν,
20He that adoreth God with joy, shall be accepted, and his prayer shall approach even to the clouds.
21ἕως ἐξάρῃ πλῆθος ὑβριστῶν καὶ σκῆπτρα ἀδίκων συντρίψῃ·
21The prayer of him that humbleth himself, shall pierce the clouds: and till it come nigh he will not be comforted: and he will not depart till the most High behold.
22ἕως ἀνταποδῷ ἀνθρώπῳ κατὰ τὰς πράξεις αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἔργα τῶν ἀνθρώπων κατὰ τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτῶν·
22And the Lord will not be slack, but will judge for the just, and will do judgment: and the Almighty will not have patience with them, that he may crush their back:
23ἕως κρίνῃ τὴν κρίσιν τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐφρανεῖ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ἐλέει αὐτοῦ.
23And he will repay vengeance to the Gentiles, till he have taken away the multitude of the proud, and broken the sceptres of the unjust,
24ὡραῖον ἔλεος ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως αὐτοῦ, ὡς νεφέλαι ὑετοῦ ἐν καιρῷ ἀβροχίας.
24Till he have rendered to men according to their deeds: and according to the works of Adam, and according to his presumption,

25Till he have judged the cause of his people, and he shall delight the just with his mercy.
no verse 26 in this text
26The mercy of God is beautiful in the time of affliction, as a cloud of rain in the time of drought.
