| 43:1 | γαυρίαμα ὕψους στερέωμα καθαριότητος, εἶδος οὐρανοῦ ἐν ὁράματι δόξης. |
| 43:2 | ἥλιος ἐν ὀπτασίᾳ διαγγέλλων ἐν ἐξόδῳ, σκεῦος θαυμαστόν, ἔργον Ὑψίστου· |
| 43:3 | ἐν μεσημβρίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀναξηραίνει χώραν. καὶ ἐναντίον καύματος αὐτοῦ τίς ὑποστήσεται; |
| 43:4 | κάμινον φυλάσσων ἐν ἔργοις καύματος, (4)τριπλασίως ἥλιος ἐκκαίων ὄρη· ἀτμίδας πυρώδεις ἐμφυσῶν, καὶ ἐκλάμπων ἀκτῖνας ἀμαυροῖ ὀφθαλμούς. |
| 43:5 | μέγας Κύριος ὁ ποιήσας αὐτόν, καὶ ἐν λόγοις αὐτοῦ κατέσπευσεν πορείαν· |
| 43:6 | καὶ ἡ σελήνη ἐν πᾶσιν εἰς καιρὸν αὐτῆς, ἀνάδειξιν χρόνων καὶ σημεῖον αἰῶνος· |
| 43:7 | ἀπὸ σελήνης σημεῖον ἑορτῆς, φωστὴρ μειούμενος ἐπὶ συντελείας· |
| 43:8 | μὴν κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς ἐστιν, αὐξανομένη θαυμαστῶς ἐν ἀλλοιώσει. (9)σκεῦος παραβολῶν ἐν ὕψει, ἐν στερεώματι οὐρανοῦ ἐκλάμπων· |
| 43:9 | κάλλος οὐρανοῦ, δόξα ἄστρων, κόσμος φωτίζων, ἐν ὑψίστοις Κύριος· |
| 43:10 | ἐν λόγοις ἁγίοις στήσονται κατὰ κρίμα, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκλυθῶσιν ἐν φυλακαῖς αὐτῶν. |
| 43:11 | ἴδε τόξον, καὶ εὐλόγησον τὸν ποιήσαντα αὐτό, σφόδρα ὡραῖον ἐν τῷ αὐγάσματι αὐτοῦ· |
| 43:12 | ἐγύρωσεν οὐρανὸν ἐν κυκλώσει δόξης, χεῖρες Ὑψίστου ἐτάνυσαν αὐτό. |
| 43:13 | προστάγματι αὐτοῦ κατέπαυσεν χιόνα, καὶ ταχύνει ἀστραπὰς κρίματος αὐτοῦ· |
| 43:14 | διὰ τοῦτο ἠνεῴχθησαν θησαυροί, καὶ ἐξέπτησαν νεφέλαι ὡς πετεινά· |
| 43:15 | ἐν μεγαλείῳ αὐτοῦ ἴσχυσεν νεφέλας, καὶ διεθρύβησαν λίθοι χαλάζης. |
| 43:16 | καὶ ἐν ὀπτασίαις αὐτοῦ σαλευθήσεται ὄρη, ἐν θελήματι πνεύσεται νότος. |
| 43:17 | φωνὴ βροντῆς αὐτοῦ ὠνείδισεν γῆν, καὶ καταιγὶς βορέου καὶ συστροφὴ πνεύματος. (19)ὡς πετεινὰ καθιπτάμενα πάσσει χιόνα, καὶ ὡς ἀκρὶς καταλύουσα ἡ κατάβασις αὐτῆς· |
| 43:18 | κάλλος λευκότητος αὐτῆς ἐκθαυμάσει ὀφθαλμός, καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ ὑετοῦ αὐτῆς ἐκστήσεται καρδία. |
| 43:19 | καὶ πάχνην ὡς ἅλα ἐπὶ γῆς χέει, καὶ παγεῑσα γίνεται σκολόπων ἄκρα. |
| 43:20 | ψυχρὸς ἄνεμος βορέης πνεύσει, καὶ παγήσεται κρύσταλλος ἀφʼ ὕδατος· ἐπὶ πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν ὕδατος καταλύσει, καὶ ὡς θώρακα ἐνδύσεται τὸ ὕδωρ. |
| 43:21 | καταφάγεται ὄρη καὶ ἔρημον ἐκκαύσει, καὶ ἀποσβέσει χλόην ὡς πῦρ. |
| 43:22 | ἴασις πάντων κατὰ σπουδὴν ὁμίχλη, δρόσος ἀπαντῶσα ἀπὸ καύσωνος ἱλαρώσει. |
| 43:23 | λογισμῷ αὐτοῦ ἐκόπασεν ἄβυσσον, καὶ ἐφύτευσεν αὐτὴν Ἰησοῦς. |
| 43:24 | οἱ πλέοντες τὴν θάλασσαν διηγοῦνται τὸν κίνδυνον αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀκοαῖς ὠτίων ἡμῶν θαυμάζομεν· |
| 43:25 | καὶ ἐκεῖ τὰ παράδοξα καὶ θαυμάσια ἔργα, ποικιλία παντὸς ζῴου, κτίσις κητῶν. |
| 43:26 | δι᾿ αὐτὸν εὐωδία τέλος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν λόγῳ αὐτοῦ σύνκειται πάντα. |
| 43:27 | πολλὰ ἐροῦμεν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀφικώμεθα, καὶ συντέλεια λόγων Τὸ πᾶν ἐστιν αὐτός. |
| 43:28 | δοξάζοντες ποῦ ἰσχύσωμεν αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ μέγας παρὰ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ. |
| 43:29 | φοβερὸς Κύριος καὶ σφόδρα μέγας. καὶ θαυμαστὴ ἡ δυναστεία αὐτοῦ. |
| 43:30 | δοξάζοντες Κύριον ὑψώσατε καθʼ ὅσον ἂν δύνησθε, ὑπερέξει γὰρ καὶ ἔτι· (3⁴)καὶ ὑψοῦντες αὐτὸν πληθύνατε ἐν ἰσχύι· μὴ κοπιᾶτε, οὐ γὰρ μὴ ἀφίκησθε. |
| 43:31 | τίς ἑόρακεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐκδιυηγήσεται; καὶ τίς μεγαλυνεῖ αὐτὸν καθώς ἐστιν; |
| 43:32 | πολλὰ ἀπόκρυφά ἐστιν μείζονα τούτων, ὀλίγα γὰρ ἑωράκαμεν τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ. |
| 43:33 | πάντα γὰρ ἐποίησεν ὁ κύριος, καὶ τοῖς εὐσεβέσιν ἔδωκεν σοφίαν. Πατέρων ὕμνος. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
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).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
