Sirach 33

1 Ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς, δέσποτα ὁ Θεὸς πάντων, καὶ ἐπίβλεψον·

2 καὶ ἐπίβαλε τὸν φόβον σου ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη.

3 Ἔπαρον τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπὶ ἔθνη ἀλλότρια, καὶ ἰδέτωσαν τὴν δυναστείαν σου.

4 Ὥσπερ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἡγιάσθης ἐν ἡμῖν, οὕτως ἐνώπιον ἡμῶν μεγαλυνθείης ἐν αὐτοῖς·

5 Καὶ ἐπιγνώτωσάν σε καθάπερ καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐπέγνωμεν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι Θεὸς πλήν σου Κύριε.

6 Ἐγκαίνισον σημεῖα, καὶ ἀλλοίωσον θαυμάσια·

7 δόξασον χεῖρα καὶ βραχίονα δεξιόν· ἔγειρον θυμὸν, καὶ ἔκχεον ὀργήν· ἔξαρον ἀντίδικον, καὶ ἔκτριψον ἐχθρόν.

8 Σπεῦσον καιρὸν, καὶ μνήσθητι ὁρκισμοῦ, καὶ ἐκδιηγησάσθωσαν τὰ μεγαλεῖά σου.

9 Ἐν ὀργῇ πυρὸς καταβρωθήτω ὁ σωζόμενος, καὶ οἱ κακοῦντες τὸν λαόν σου εὕροισαν ἀπώλειαν.

10 Σύντριψον κεφαλὰς ἀρχόντων ἐχθρῶν λεγόντων, οὐκ ἔστι πλὴν ἡμῶν.

11 Σύναγε πάσας φυλὰς Ἰακώβ.

12 Λαμπρὰ καρδία καὶ ἀγαθὴ ἐπὶ ἐδέσμασιν τῶν βρωμάτων αὐτῆς ἐπιμελήσεται.

1 Have mercy upon us, O Lord God of all, and behold us:

2 and send thy fear upon all the nations that seek not after thee.

3 Lift up thy hand against the strange nations, and let them see thy power.

4 As thou wast sanctified in us before them: so be thou magnified among them before us.

5 And let them know thee, as we have known thee, that there is no God but only thou, O God.

6 Shew new signs, and make other strange wonders: glorify thy hand and thy right arm, that they may set forth thy wondrous works.

7 Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath: take away the adversary, and destroy the enemy.

8 Make the time short, remember the covenant, and let them declare thy wonderful works.

9 Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire; and let them perish that oppress the people.

10 Smite in sunder the heads of the rulers of the heathen, that say, There is none other but we.

11 Gather all the tribes of Jacob together.

12 A cheerful and good heart will have a care of his meat and diet.
