| 50:1 | Σίμων Ὀνίου υἱὸς ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας, ὃς ἐν ζωῇ αὐτοῦ ὑπέραψεν οἶκον, καὶ ἐυ ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἐστερέωσεν τὸν ναόν· |
| 50:2 | καὶ ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ ἐθεμελιώθη ὕψος διπλῆς, ἀνάλημμα ὑψηλὸν περιβόλου ἱεροῦ· |
| 50:3 | ἐν ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἠλαττώθη ἀποδοχεῖον ὑδάτων, χαλκὸς ὡσεὶ θαλάσσης τὸ περίμετρον· |
| 50:4 | ὁ φροντίζων τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ πτώσεως, καὶ ἐνισχύσας πόλιν ἐνπολιορκῆσαι. |
| 50:5 | ὡς ἐδοξάσθη ἐν περιστροφῇ λαοῦ, ἐν ἐξόδῳ οἴκου καταπετάσματος· |
| 50:6 | ὡς ἀστὴρ ἑωθινὸς ἐν μέσῳ νεφέλης, ὡς σελήνη πλήρης ἐν ἡμέραις· |
| 50:7 | ὡς ἥλιος ἐκλάμπων ἐπὶ ναὸν Ὑψίστου, καὶ ὡς τόξον φωτίζον ἐν νεφέλαις δόξης· |
| 50:8 | ὡς ἄνθος ῥόδων ἐν ἡμέραις νέων, ὡς κρίνα ἐπʼ ἐξόδων ὕδατος, ὡς βλαστὸς λιβάνου ἐν ἡμέραις θέρους· |
| 50:9 | ὡς πῦρ καὶ λίβανος ἐπὶ πυρίου· (10)ὡς σκεῦος χρυσίου ὁλοσφύρητον κεκοσμημένον παντὶ λίθῳ πολυτελεῖ· |
| 50:10 | ὡς ἐλαία ἀναθάλλουσα καρπούς, καὶ ὡς κυπάρισσος ὑψουμένη ἐν νεφέλαις. |
| 50:11 | ἐν τῷ ἀναλαμβάνειν αὐτὸν στολὴν καὶ ἐνδιδύσκεσθαι αὐτὸν συντέλειαν καυχήματος, ⁽¹²)ἐν ἀναβάσει θυσιαστηρίου ἁγίου ἐδόξασεν περιβολὴν ἁγιάσματος· |
| 50:12 | ἐν δὲ τῷ δέχεσθαι μέλη ἐκ χειρῶν ἱερέων, καὶ αὐτὸς ἑστὼς παρʼ ἐσχάρᾳ βωμοῦ, κυκλόθεν αὐτὸς στέφανος ἀδελφῶν ὡς βλάστημα κέδρου ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ, ⁽¹⁴)καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν αὐτὸν ὡς στελέχη φοινίκων· |
| 50:13 | καὶ πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀαρὼν ἐν δόξῃ αὐτῶν, ⁽¹⁵)καὶ προσφορὰ Κυρίου ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν ἔναντι πάσης ἐκκλησίας Ἰσραήλ |
| 50:14 | καὶ συντέλειαν λειτουργῶν ἐπὶ βωμῶν, κοσμῆσαι προσφορὰν Ὑψίστου Παντοκράτορος, |
| 50:15 | ἐξέτεινεν ἐπὶ σπονδείου χεῖρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσπεισεν ἐξ αἵματος σταφυλῆς, (17) ἐξέχεεν εἰς θεμέλια θυσιαστηρίου ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας Ὑψίστῳ Πανβασιλεῖ. |
| 50:16 | τότε ἀνέκραγον υἱοὶ Ἀαρών, ἐν σάλπιγξιν ἐλαταῖς ἤχησαν, ἀκουστὴν ἐποίησαν φωνὴν μεγάλην εἰς μνημόσυνον ἔναντι Ὑψίστου· |
| 50:17 | τότε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς κοινῇ κατέσπευσεν, καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν προσκυνῆσαι τῷ κυρίῳ αὐτῶν Παντοκράτορι θεῷ τῷ ὑψίστῳ· |
| 50:18 | καὶ ᾔνεσαν οἱ ψαλμῳδοὶ ἐν φωναῖς αὐτῶν, ἐν πλείστῳ οἴκῳ ἐγλυκάνθη μέλος· |
| 50:19 | καὶ ἐδεήθη ὁ λαὸς Κυρίου Ὑψίστου ἐν προσευχῇ κατέναντι Ἐλεήμονος, ἕως συντελεσθῇ κόσμος Κυρίου καὶ τὴν λειτουργίαν αὐτοῦ ἐτελείωσαν. |
| 50:20 | τότε καταβὰς ἐπῆρεν χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ἐκκλησίαν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, δοῦναι εὐλογίαν Κυρίῳ ἐκ χειλέων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ καυχᾶσθαι· |
| 50:21 | καὶ ἐδευτέρωσεν ἐν προσκυνήσει ἐπιδείξασθαι τὴν εὐλογίαν παρὰ Ὑψίστου. |
| 50:22 | καὶ νῦν εὐλογήσατε τῷ θεῷ πάντες τῷ μεγαλοποιοῦντι πάντη, τὸν ὑψοῦντα ἡμέρας ἡμῶν ἐκ μήτρας. καὶ ποιοῦντα μεθʼ ἡμῶν κατὰ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ· |
| 50:23 | δῴη ὑμῖν εὐφροσύνην καρδίας, καὶ γενέσθαι εἰρήνην ἐν ἡμέραις ἡμῶν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ αἰῶνος, |
| 50:24 | ἐνπιστεῦσαι μεθʼ ἡμῶν τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ λυτρωσάσθω ἡμᾶς. |
| 50:25 | ἐν δυσὶν ἔθνεσιν προσώχθισεν ἡ ψυχή μου, καὶ τὸ τρίτον οὐκ ἔστιν ἔθνος· |
| 50:26 | οἱ καθήμενοι ἐν ὄρει Σαμαρείας, Φυλιστιείμ, καὶ ὁ λαὸς μωρὸς ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν Σικίμοις. |
| 50:27 | Παιδείαν συνέσεως καὶ ἐπιστήμης ἐχάραξα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ, Ἰησοῦς υἱὸς Σειρὰχ Ἐλεαζὰρ ὁ Ἰεροσολυμείτης. ὃς ἀνώμβρησεν σοφίαν ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτοῦ. |
| 50:28 | μακάριος ὃς ἐν τούτοις ἀναστραφήσεται, καὶ θεὶς αὐτὰ ἐπὶ καρδίαν αὐτοῦ σοφισθήσεται· |
| 50:29 | ἐὰν γὰρ αὐτὰ ποιήσῃ, πρὸς πάντα ἰσχύσει· ὅτι φῶς Κυρίου τὸ ἴχνος αὐτοῦ. (¹)Προσευχὴ Ἰησοῦ υἱοῦ Σειράχ· |

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.
