| 47:1 | καὶ μετὰ τοῦτον ἀνέστη Ναθὰν προφητεύειν ἐν ἡμέραις Δαυείδ. |
| 47:2 | ὥσπερ στέαρ ἀφωρισμένον ἀπὸ σωτηρίου, οὕτως Δαυεὶδ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ. |
| 47:3 | ἐν λέουσιν ἔπαιζεν ὡς ἐν ἐρίφοις, καὶ ἐν ἄρκοις ὡς ἐν ἄρνασι προβάτων. |
| 47:4 | ἐν νεότητι αὐτοῦ (⁴)οὐχὶ ἀπέκτεινεν γίγαντα, καὶ ἐξῆρεν ὀνειδισμὸν ἐκ λαοῦ (5)ἐν τῷ ἐπᾶραι χεῖρα ἐν λίθῳ σφενδόνης καὶ καταβαλεῖν γαυρίαμα τοῦ Γολιάθ ; |
| 47:5 | ἐπεκαλέσατο γὰρ Κύριον τὸν ὕψιστον, καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ κράτος, ἐξᾶραι ἄνθρωπον ἐν πολέμῳ· ἀνυψώσει κέρας λαοῦ αὐτοῦ. |
| 47:6 | οὕτως ἐν μυριάσιν ἐδόξασεν αὐτόν, καὶ ᾔνεσεν αὐτὸν ἐν εὐλογίαις Κυρίου ἐν τῷ φέρεσθαι αὐτῷ διάδημα δόξης. |
| 47:7 | ἐξέτριψεν γὰρ ἐχθροὺς κυκλόθεν, καὶ ἐξουδένωσεν Φυλιστιεὶμ τοὺς ὑπεναντίους ἕως σήμερον συνέτριψεν αὐτῶν κέρας. |
| 47:8 | ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ αὐτοῦ ἔδωκεν ἐξομολόγησιν ἁγίῳ Ὑψίστῳ, ῥήματι δόξης· (10)ἐν πάσῃ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ ὕμνησεν καὶ ἠγάπησεν τὸν ποιήσαντα αὐτόν. |
| 47:9 | καὶ ἔστησεν ψαλτῳδοὺς κατέναντι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, καὶ ἐξ ἠχοῦς αὐτῶν γλυκαίνειν μέλη· |
| 47:10 | εἔδωκεν ἐν ἑορταῖς εὐπρέπειαν, καὶ ἐκόσμησεν καιροὺς μέχρι συντελείας, ἐν τῷ αἰνεῖν αὐτοὺς τὸ ἅγιον ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ πρωὶ ἠχεῖν τὸ ἁγίασμα. |
| 47:11 | Κύριος ἀφεῖλεν τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνύψωσεν εἰς αἰῶνα τὸ κέρας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ διαθήκην βασιλέων καὶ θρόνον δόξης ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 47:12 | μετὰ τοῦτον ἀνέστη υἱὸς ἐπιστήμων, καὶ διʼ αὐτὸν κατέλυσεν ἐν πλατυσμῷ· |
| 47:13 | Σαλωμὼν ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ἡμέραις εἰρήνης, ᾧ ὁ θεὸς κατέπαυσεν κυκλόθεν, ἵνα στήσῃ οἶκον ἐπʼ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἑτοιμάσῃ ἁγίασμα εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. |
| 47:14 | ὡς ἐσοφίσθης ἐν νεότητί σου, (¹6)καὶ ἐνεπλήσθης ὡς ποταμὸς συνέσεως. |
| 47:15 | γῆν ἐπεκάλυψεν ἡ ψυχὴ σου, (17)καὶ ἐνέπλησας ἐν παραβολαῖς αἰνιγμάτων· |
| 47:16 | εἰς νήσους πόρρω ἀφίκετο τὸ ὄνομά σου, καὶ ἠγαπήθης ἐν τῇ εἰρήνῃ σου· |
| 47:17 | ἐν ᾠδαῖς καὶ παροιμίαις καὶ παραβολαῖς καὶ ἐν ἐρμηνίᾳ ἀπεθαύμασάν σε χῶραι· |
| 47:18 | ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ, τοῦ ἐπικεκλημένου θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ, (20) δσυνήγαγες ὡς κασσίτερον τὸ χρυσίον, καὶ ὡς μόλιβον ἐπλήθυνας ἀργύριον. |
| 47:19 | παρανέκλινας τὰς λαγόνας σου γυναιξίν, καὶ ἐνεξουσιάσθης ἐν τῷ σώματί σου· |
| 47:20 | ἔδωκας μῶμον ἐν τῆ δόξῃ σου, καὶ ἐβεβήλωσας τὸ σπέρμα σου, ἐπαγαγεῖν ἀργὴν ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα σου, καὶ κατενύγην ἐπὶ τῇ ἀφροσύνῃ σου, |
| 47:21 | γενέσθαι δίχα τυραννίδα καὶ ἐξ Ἐφράιμ ἄρξαι βασιλείαν ἀπειθῆ. |
| 47:22 | ὁ δὲ Κύριος οὐ μὴ καταλίπῃ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐ μὴ διαφθαρῇ ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ μὴ ἐξαλείψῃ ἐκλεκτοῦ αὐτοῦ ἔκγονα, καὶ σπέρμα τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντος αὐτὸν οὐ μὴ ἐξάρῃ· (25)καὶ τῷ Ἰακὼβ ἔδωκεν κατάλιμμα. καὶ τῷ Δαυείδ ἐξ αὐτοῦ ῥίζαν. |
| 47:23 | καὶ ἀνεπαύσατο Σαλωμὼν μετὰ τῶν πατέραων, (27)καὶ κατέλιπεν μετʼ αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτοῦ λαοῦ ἀφροσύνην (28) καὶ ἐλασσούμενον συνέσει Ῥοβοάμ, ὅς ἀπέστησεν λαὸν ἐκ βουλῆς αὐτοῦ, (29)καὶ Ἰεροβοὰμ υἱὸν Ναβάτ, ὃς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἔδωκεν τῷ Ἐφράιμ ὁδὸν ἁμαρτίας. |
| 47:24 | καὶ ἐπληθύνθησαν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτῶν σφόδρα, ⁽³⁰)ἀποστῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν· |
| 47:25 | καὶ πᾶσαν πονηρίαν ἐξεζήτησαν, ἕως ἐκδίκησις ἔλθῃ ἐπʼ αὐτούς. |

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.
