Notas sobre este texto (1)
- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 Ἡ σοφία αἰνέσει ψυχὴν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐν μέσῳ λαοῦ αὐτῆς καυχήσεται.
1 Wisdom will praise her own soul, and will proclaim her glory in the midst of her people.
2 Ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ ὑψίστου στόμα αὐτῆς ἀνοίξει, καὶ ἔναντι δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ καυχήσεται.
2 She will open her mouth in the congregation of the Most High, and proclaim her glory in the presence of his power.
3 Ἐγὼ ἀπὸ στόματος ὑψίστου ἐξῆλθον, καὶ ὡς ὁμίχλη κατεκάλυψα γῆν.
3 “I came out of the mouth of the Most High, and covered the earth as a mist.
4 Ἐγὼ ἐν ὑψηλοῖς κατεσκήνωσα, καὶ ὁ θρόνος μου ἐν στύλῳ νεφέλης.
4 I lived in high places, and my throne is in the pillar of the cloud.
5 Γῦρον οὐρανοῦ ἐκύκλωσα μόνη, καὶ ἐν βάθει ἀβύσσων περιεπάτησα.
5 Alone I surrounded the circuit of heaven, and walked in the depth of the abyss.
6 Ἐν κύμασι θαλάσσης καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, καὶ ἐν παντὶ λαῷ καὶ ἔθνει ἐκτησάμην.
6 In the waves of the sea, and in all the earth, and in every people and nation, I obtained a possession.
7 Μετὰ τούτων πάντων ἀνάπαυσιν ἐζήτησα, καὶ ἐν κληρονομίᾳ τίνος αὐλισθήσομαι.
7 With all these I sought rest. In whose inheritance shall I lodge?
8 Τότε ἐνετείλατό μοι ὁ κτίστης ἁπάντων, καὶ ὁ κτίσας με κατέπαυσε τὴν σκηνήν μου, καὶ εἶπεν, ἐν Ἰακὼβ κατασκήνωσον, καὶ ἐν Ἰσραὴλ κατακληρονομήθητι.
8 Then the Creator of all things gave me a command. He who created me made my tent to rest, and said, ‘Let your dwelling be in Jacob, and your inheritance in Israel.’
9 Πρὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς ἔκτισέ με, καὶ ἕως αἰῶνος οὐ μὴ ἐκλίπω.
9 He created me from the beginning, before the ages. For all ages, I will not cease to exist.
10 Ἐν σκηνῇ ἁγίᾳ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἐλειτούργησα, καὶ οὕτως ἐν Σιὼν ἐστηρίχθην.
10 In the holy tabernacle, I ministered before him. So I was established in Zion.
11 Ἐν πόλει ἠγαπημένῃ ὁμοίως με κατέπαυσε, καὶ ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἡ ἐξουσία μου.
11 In the beloved city, likewise he gave me rest. In Jerusalem was my domain.
12 Καὶ ἐῤῥίζωσα ἐν λαῷ δεδοξασμένῳ, ἐν μερίδι Κυρίου κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ.
12 I took root in a people that was honored, even in the portion of the Lord’s own inheritance.
13 Ὡς κέδρος ἀνυψώθην ἐν Λιβάνῳ, καὶ ὡς κυπάρισσος ἐν ὄρεσιν Ἀερμών.
13 I was exalted like a cedar in Lebanon, And like a cypress tree on the mountains of Hermon.
14 Ὡς φοῖνιξ ἀνυψώθην ἐν αἰγιαλοῖς, καὶ ὡς φυτὰ ῥόδου ἐν Ἱεριχῶ· ὡς ἐλαία εὐπρεπὴς ἐν πεδίῳ, καὶ ἀνυψώθην ὡς πλάτανος.
14 I was exalted like a palm tree on the sea shore, like rose bushes in Jericho, and like a fair olive tree in the plain. I was exalted like a plane tree.
15 Ὡς κιννάμωμον καὶ ἀσπάλαθος ἀρωμάτων δέδωκα ὀσμὴν, καὶ ὡς σμύρνα ἐκλεκτὴ διέδωκα εὐωδίαν· ὡς χαλβάνη καὶ ὄνυξ καὶ στακτὴ, καὶ ὡς λιβάνου ἀτμὶς ἐν σκηνῇ.
15 Like cinnamon and aspalathus, I have given a scent to perfumes. Like choice myrrh, I spread abroad a pleasant fragrance, like galbanum, onycha, stacte, and as the smell of frankincense in the tabernacle.
16 Ἐγὼ ὡς τερέμινθος ἐξέτεινα κλάδους μου, καὶ οἱ κλάδοι μου κλάδοι δόξης καὶ χάριτος.
16 Like the terebinth, I stretched out my branches. My branches are glorious and graceful.
17 Ἐγὼ ὡς ἄμπελος βλαστήσασα χάριν, καὶ τὰ ἄνθη μου καρπὸς δόξης καὶ πλούτου.
17 Like the vine, I put forth grace. My flowers are the fruit of glory and riches. 18 No está en esta traducción
19 Προσέλθετε πρὸς μὲ οἱ ἐπιθυμοῦντές μου, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν γεννημάτων μου ἐμπλήσθητε.
19 “Come to me, all you who desire me, and be filled with my fruits.
20 Τὸ γὰρ μνημόσυνόν μου ὑπὲρ μέλι γλυκύ, καὶ ἡ κληρονομία μου ὑπὲρ μέλιτος κηροῦ.
20 For my memory is sweeter than honey, and my inheritance than the honeycomb.
21 Οἱ ἐσθίοντές με ἔτι πεινάσουσι, καὶ οἱ πίνοντές με ἔτι διψήσουσιν.
21 Those who eat me will be hungry for more. Those who drink me will be thirsty for more.
22 Ὁ ὑπακούων μου οὐκ αἰσχυνθήσεται, καὶ οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι ἐν ἐμοὶ οὐχ ἁμαρτήσουσι.
22 He who obeys me will not be ashamed. Those who work with me will not sin.”
23 Ταῦτα πάντα βίβλος διαθήκης Θεοῦ ὑψίστου, νόμον ὃν ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς, κληρονομίαν συναγωγαῖς Ἰακώβ.
23 All these things are the book of the covenant of the Most High God, the law which Moses commanded us for an inheritance for the assemblies of Jacob. 24 No está en esta traducción
25 Ὁ πιμπλῶν ὡς Φεισὼν σοφίαν, καὶ ὡς Τίγρις ἐν ἡμέραις νέων·
25 It is he who makes wisdom abundant, as Pishon, and as Tigris in the days of first fruits.
26 ὁ ἀναπληρῶν ὡς Εὐφράτης σύνεσιν, καὶ ὡς Ἰορδάνης ἐν ἡμέραις θερισμοῦ·
26 He makes understanding full as the Euphrates, and as the Jordan in the days of harvest,
27 ὁ ἐκφαίνων ὡς φῶς παιδείαν, ὡς Γηὼν ἐν ἡμέραις τρυγητοῦ.
27 who makes instruction shine forth as the light, as Gihon in the days of vintage.
28 Οὐ συνετέλεσεν ὁ πρῶτος γνῶναι αὐτὴν, καὶ οὕτως ὁ ἔσχατος οὐκ ἐξιχνίασεν αὐτήν·
28 The first man didn’t know her perfectly. In like manner, the last has not explored her.
29 Ἀπὸ γὰρ θαλάσσης ἐπληθύνθη διανόημα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἡ βουλὴ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ ἀβύσσου μεγάλης.
29 For her thoughts are filled from the sea, and her counsels from the great deep.
30 Κᾀγὼ ὡς διώρυξ ἀπὸ ποταμοῦ, καὶ ὡς ὑδραγωγὸς ἐξῆλθον εἰς παράδεισον.
30 I came out as a canal stream from a river, and as an irrigation ditch into a garden.
31 Εἶπα, ποτιῶ μου τὸν κῆπον, καὶ μεθύσω μου τὴν πρασιάν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγένετό μοι ἡ διώρυξ εἰς ποταμὸν, καὶ ὁ ποταμός μου ἐγένετο εἰς θάλασσαν.
31 I said, “I will water my garden, and will drench my garden bed.” Behold, my stream became a river, and my river became a sea.
32 Ἔτι παιδείαν ὡς ὄρθρον φωτιῶ, καὶ ἐκφανῶ αὐτὰ ἕως εἰς μακράν.
32 I will yet bring instruction to light as the morning, and will make these things clear from far away.
33 Ἔτι διδασκαλίαν ὡς προφητείαν ἐκχεῶ, καὶ καταλείψω αὐτὴν εἰς γενεὰς αἰώνων.
33 I will continue to pour out teaching like prophecy, and leave it to all generations.
34 Ἴδετε ὅτι οὐκ ἐμοὶ μόνῳ ἐκοπίασα, ἀλλὰ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐκζητοῦσιν αὐτήν.
34 See that I have not labored for myself only, but for all those who diligently seek wisdom.

… to have been emitted from the mouth of God; and if we believe that is the soul, we must consequently acknowledge it to be of the same substance, and equal to that wisdom, which says, "I come out of the mouth of the Most High." Wisdom, indeed, does not say it was breathed out of the mouth of God, but …

For while He said, "Blessed are the hungry, for they shall be filled;" it is again said of Wisdom, "Those who eat Thee shall hunger again, and those who drink shall thirst again." Nay, but He did not say "again," but he said, "still:" for "shall thirst again" is as if once having been filled he departed and digested, and …
