1 Let us praise the men of glory, and our ancestors in their generation.
·
2 The Lord has wrought great glory, by his own magnificence, from ancient times.
·
3 There are those who rule with their authority, men of great virtue, who are gifted with prudence. There are those who announce among the prophets, with the dignity of prophets.
·
4 And there are those who rule over the present generation, by the virtue of prudence, with very holy words for the people.
·
5 There are those who, by their skill, compose musical themes, so as to set the verses of Scripture to music.
·
6 There are men rich in virtue, who make a study of beauty, who live in peacefulness in their houses.
·
7 All these obtained glory in their generations, and they had praise in their days.
·
8 They left behind a name for those who were born of them, so that their praises might be described.
·
9 But for some of them, there is no memorial. They have passed away as if they had never existed; and they have become as if they had never been born, and their sons along with them.
·
10 But these were men of mercy, whose pious deeds have not failed.
·
11 Good things continue with their offspring.
·
12 Their descendants are a holy inheritance, and their offspring stand firm in the covenants.
·
13 And because of them, their sons remain even unto eternity. Their offspring and their glory will not be forsaken.
·
14 Their bodies were buried in peace, and their name lives on, from generation to generation.
·
15 Let the people declare their wisdom, and let the Church announce their praise.
·
16 Enoch pleased God, and he was transferred to Paradise, so that he might offer repentance to the nations.
·
17 Noah was found to be perfect and just, and so, in the time of wrath, he was made a reconciliation.
·
18 As a result, there was a remnant left for the earth, when the great flood was made.
·
19 The covenants of the world were placed with him, so that all flesh would not be wiped away by the great flood.
·
20 Abraham was the great father of a multitude of nations, and no one was found to be like him in glory. He observed the law of the Most High, and he formed a covenant with him.
·
21 In his flesh, he caused the covenant to stand, and when tested, he was found to be faithful.
·
22 Therefore, by an oath, he gave glory to him among his people, so as to increase him like the dust of the earth,
·
23 and to exalt his offspring like the stars, and to give an inheritance to them from sea to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.
·
24 And he acted in like manner toward Isaac, because of his father Abraham.
·
25 The Lord gave the blessing of all the nations to him, and he confirmed his covenant upon the head of Jacob.
·
26 He acknowledged him in his blessings, and he gave an inheritance to him, and he distributed to him the portion of the twelve tribes.
·
27 And he preserved for him men of mercy, who were found to have grace before the eyes of all flesh.
