35:1Ὁ συντηρῶν νόμον πλεονάζει συμφοράς,
35:2θυσιάζων σαοτηρίου ὁ προσέχων ἐντολαῖς·
35:3ἀνταποδιδοὺς χάριν προσφέρων σεμίδαλιν,
35:4καὶ ὁ ποιῶν ἐλεημοσύνην θυσιάζων αἰνέσεως.
35:5εὐδοκία Κυρίου ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ πονηρίας, καὶ ἐξιλασμὸς ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ ἀδικίας.
35:6μὴ ὀφθῇς ἐν προσώπῳ Κυρίου κενός,
35:7πάντα γὰρ ταῦτα χάριν ἐντολῆς.
35:8προσφορὰ δικαίου λιπαίνει θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἡ εὐωδία αὐτῆς ἔναντι Γψἰστου
35:9θυσία ἀνδρὸς δικαίου δεκτή, καὶ τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται.
35:10ἐν ἀγαθῷ ὀφθαλμῷ δόξασον τὸν κύριον, καὶ μὴ μικρύνῃς ἀπαρχὴν χειρῶν σου·
35:11ἐν πάσῃ δόσει ἱλάρωσον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ ἁγίασον δεκάτην.
35:12δὸς Γψίστῳ κατὰ τὴν δόσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν ἀγαθῷ ὀφθαλμῷ καθʼ εὕρεμα χειρός·
35:13ὅτι Κύριος ἀνταποδιδοὺς ἐστιν, καὶ ἑπταπλᾶ ἀνταποδώσει σοι.
35:14μὴ δωροκόπει, οὐ γὰρ προσδέξεται
35:15καὶ μὴ ἔπεχε θυσίᾳ ἀδίκῳ, ὅτι Κύριος κριτής ἐστιν, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν παρʼ αὐτῷ δόξα προσώπου.
35:16οὐ λήμψεται πρόσωπον ἐπὶ πτωχοί, καὶ δέησιν ἠδικημένου εἰσακούσεται·
35:17οὐ μὴ ὑπερίδῃ ἱκετἰαν ὀρφανοῦ, καὶ χήραν ἐὰν ἐκχέῃ λαλιάν.
35:18οὐχὶ δάκρυα χήρας ἐπὶ σιαγόνα καταβαίνει,
35:19καὶ ἡ καταβόησις ἐπὶ τῷ καταγαγόντι αὐτά
35:20θεραπεύων ἐν εὐδοκίᾳ δεχθήσεται, καὶ ἡ δέησις αὐτοῦ ἕως νεφελῶν συνάψει·
35:21προσευχὴ ταπεινοῦ νεφέλας διῆλθεν, καὶ ἕως συνεγγίσῃ, οὐ μὴ παρακληθῇ· καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστῇ ἕως ἐπισκέψηται ὁ ὕψιστος,
35:22καὶ κρινεῖ δικαίως καὶ ποιήσει κρίσιν. καὶ ὁ κύριος οὐ μὴ βραδύνῃ οὐδὲ μὴ μακροθυμήσει ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς, ἕως ἂν συντρίψῃ ὀσφὺν ἀνελεημόνων,
35:23καὶ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἀνταποδώσει ἐκδίκησιν· ἕως ἐξάρῃ πλῆθος ὑβριστῶν καὶ σκῆπτρα ἀδίκαων συντρίψει·
35:24ἕως ἀνταποδῷ ἀνθρώπῳ κατὰ τὰς πράξεις αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ ἔργα τῶν ἀνθρώπων κατὰ τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτῶν·
35:25ἕως κρίνῃ τὴν κρίσιν τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ εὐφρανεῖ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ἐλέει αὐτοῦ.
35:26ώραῖον ἔλεος ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως αὐτοῦ, ὡς νεφέλαι ὑετοῦ ἐν καιρῷ ἀβροχίας

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
L0.5 transliteration
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
