1 Simon the high priest, the son of Onias, who in his life propped up the house, and in his days fortified the temple.
1 It was Simon, the son of Onias, the high priest, who in his life repaired the house, and in his days strengthened the temple.
2 By him also the height of the temple was founded, the double building and the high walls of the temple.
2 The foundation was built by him to the height of the double walls, the lofty retaining walls of the temple enclosure.
3 In his days the wells of water flowed out, and they were filled as the sea above measure.
3 In his days, a water cistern was dug, the brazen vessel like the sea in circumference.
4 He took care of his nation, and delivered it from destruction.
4 He planned to save his people from ruin, and fortified the city against siege.
5 He prevailed to enlarge the city, and obtained glory in his conversation with the people: and enlarged the entrance of the house and the court.
5 How glorious he was when the people gathered around him as he came out of the house of the veil!
6 He shone in his days as the morning star in the midst of a cloud, and as the moon at the full.
6 He was like the morning star among clouds, like the full moon,
7 And as the sun when it shineth, so did he shine in the temple of God.
7 like the sun shining on the temple of the Most High, like the rainbow shining in clouds of glory,
8 And as the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds, and as the flower of roses in the days of the spring, and as the lilies that are on the brink of the water, and as the sweet smelling frankincense in the time of summer.
8 like roses in the days of first fruits, like lilies by a water spring, like the shoot of the frankincense tree in summer time,
9 As a bright Are, and frankincense burning in the fire.
9 like fire and incense in the censer, like a vessel of beaten gold adorned with all kinds of precious stones,
10 As a massy vessel of gold, adorned with every precious stone.
10 like an olive tree loaded with fruit, and like a cypress growing high among the clouds.
11 As an olive tree budding forth, and a cypress tree rearing itself on high, when he put on the robe of glory, and was clothed with the perfection of power.
11 When he put on his glorious robe, and clothed himself in perfect splendor, ascending to the holy altar, he made the court of the sanctuary glorious.
12 When he went up to the holy altar, he honoured the vesture of holiness.
12 When he received the portions out of the priests’ hands, as he stood by the hearth of the altar, with his kindred like a garland around him, he was like a young cedar in Lebanon surrounded by the trunks of palm trees.
13 And when he took the portions out of the hands of the priests, he himself stood by the altar. And about him was the ring of his brethren: and as the cedar planted in mount Libanus,
13 All the sons of Aaron in their glory, held the Lord’s offering in their hands before all the congregation of Israel.
14 And as branches of palm trees, they stood round about him, and all the sons of Aaron in their glory.
14 Finishing the service at the altars, that he might arrange the offering of the Most High, the Almighty,
15 And the oblation of the Lord was in their hands, before all the congregation of Israel: and finishing his service, on the altar, to honour the offering of the most high Ring,
15 he stretched out his hand to the cup of libation, and poured out the cup of the grape. He poured it out at the foot of the altar, a sweet smelling fragrance to the Most High, the King of all.
16 He stretched forth his hand to make a libation, and offered of the blood of the grape.
16 Then the sons of Aaron shouted. They sounded the trumpets of beaten work. They made a great fanfare to be heard, for a reminder before the Most High.
17 He poured out at the foot of the altar a divine odour to the most high Prince.
17 Then all the people together hurried, and fell down to the ground on their faces to worship their Lord, the Almighty, God Most High.
18 Then the sons of Aaron shouted, they sounded with beaten trumpets, and made a great noise to be heard for a remembrance before God.
18 The singers also praised him with their voices. There was a sweet melody in the whole house.
19 Then all the people together made haste, and fell down to the earth upon their faces, to adore the Lord their God, and to pray to the Almighty God the most High.
19 And the people implored the Lord Most High, in prayer before him who is merciful, until the worship of the Lord was finished, and so they accomplished his service.
20 And the singers lifted up their voices. and in the great house the sound of sweet melody was increased.
20 Then he went down, and lifted up his hands over the whole congregation of the children of Israel, to give blessing to the Lord with his lips, and to glory in his name.
21 And the people in prayer besought the Lord the most High, until the worship of the Lord was perfected, and they had finished their office.
21 He bowed himself down in worship the second time, to declare the blessing from the Most High.
22 Then coming down, he lifted up his hands over all the congregation of the children of Israel, to give glory to God with his lips, and to glory in his name:
22 Now bless the God of all, who everywhere does great things, who exalts our days from the womb, and deals with us according to his mercy.
23 And he repeated his prayer, willing to shew the power of God.
23 May he grant us joyfulness of heart, and that peace may be in our days in Israel for the days of eternity,
24 And now pray ye to the God of all, who hath done great things in all the earth, who hath increased our days from our mother’s womb, and hath done with us according to his mercy.
24 to entrust his mercy with us, and let him deliver us in his time!
25 May he grant us joyfulness of heart, and that there be peace in our days in Israel for ever:
25 With two nations my soul is vexed, and the third is no nation:
26 That Israel may believe that the mercy of God is with us, to deliver us in his days.
26 Those who sit on the mountain of Samaria, the Philistines, and the foolish people who live in Shechem.
27 There are two nations which my soul abhorreth: and the third is no nation, which I hate:
27 I have written in this book the instruction of understanding and knowledge, I Jesus, the son of Sirach Eleazar, of Jerusalem, who out of his heart poured forth wisdom.
28 They that sit on mount Seir, and the Philistines, and the foolish people that dwell in Sichem.
28 Blessed is he who will exercise these things. He who lays them up in his heart will become wise.
29 Jesus the son of Sirach, of Jerusalem, hath written in this book the doctrine of wisdom and instruction, who renewed wisdom from his heart.
29 For if he does them, he will be strong in all things, for the light of the Lord is his guide.
30 Blessed is he that is conversant in these good things: and he that layeth them up in his heart, shall be wise always.
