1 Sir 41, 1 O death, how bitter is the memory of you: to a man who has peace in his substance, 2 Sir 41, 2 to a quiet man, and to him whose ways are directed properly in all things, and who still has the strength to take nourishment. 3 Sir 41, 3 O death, your judgment is good to the indigent man, and to him whose strength has diminished, 4 Sir 41, 4 who is failing due to old age, and who is anxious about all things, and to the unbelieving man who has lost patience. 5 Sir 41, 5 Do not choose to dread the judgment of death. Remember the things that occurred before you, and the things that will occur after you. This judgment is from the Lord upon all flesh. 6 Sir 41, 6 And what will happen to you is well-pleasing to the Most High, whether in ten, or one hundred, or one thousand years. 7 Sir 41, 7 For death is no indictment of life. 8 Sir 41, 8 The sons of sinners, and those who pass their time in the manner of the houses of the impious, become sons of abominations. 9 Sir 41, 9 The inheritance of the sons of sinners will perish, and continual disgrace will be with their offspring. 10 Sir 41, 10 The sons of an impious father will complain, for they are in disgrace because of him. 11 Sir 41, 11 Woe to you, impious men, who have abandoned the law of the Most High Lord! 12 Sir 41, 12 And when you are born, you will be born into a curse; and when you die, your portion will be in a curse. 13 Sir 41, 13 All things that are from the earth shall return to the earth. Similarly, the impious will proceed from a curse unto perdition. 14 Sir 41, 14 The grieving of men is in their body, but the name of the impious will be wiped away. 15 Sir 41, 15 Have concern for your good name. For this will continue with you, more so than a thousand precious and great treasures. 16 Sir 41, 16 A good life has its number of days, but a good name will continue forever. 17 Sir 41, 17 Sons, practice discipline peacefully. For what use is there in either concealed wisdom, or undiscovered treasure? 18 Sir 41, 18 Better is the man who hides his foolishness than the man who hides his wisdom. 19 Sir 41, 19 Yet truly, have respect for these things which proceed from my mouth. 20 Sir 41, 20 For it is not good to observe every reverence. And all things do not please all persons in their beliefs. 21 Sir 41, 21 Have shame of these things: of fornication before father and mother, and of a lie before the first leader and the powerful, 22 Sir 41, 22 of a crime before a ruler or a judge, of iniquity before a congregation or a people, 23 Sir 41, 23 of injustice before a companion or a friend, and of the place in which you live, 24 Sir 41, 24 of theft, and of the truth before God, and of the covenant, of reclining to eat bread, and of deceitfulness in giving or receiving, 25 Sir 41, 25 of silence before those who greet you, of looking upon a woman of fornication, and of averting your face from a relative. 26 Sir 41, 26 You should not avert your face from your neighbor, nor should you take away a portion and not restore it. 27 Sir 41, 27 You should not stare at another man’s wife, and nor pursue his handmaid, nor approach her bed. 28 Sir 41, 28 Avoid reproachful speeches before friends, and when you give, you should not place blame. 393

Sir 41,12 - Podľa hebrejského,"Ak sa množíte, je to na vašu škodu,ak sa plodíte, je to na váš horký nárek:ak sa potkýnate, je to na radosť sveta,ak umierate, stáva sa na kliatbu."
Sir 41,14 - Podľa hebrejského je jasnejšie:"Ničotné je telo človeka,ale meno zbožného nezahynie."
Sir 41,24 - Opierať sa lakťom: znamená asi pažravca, ktorý si chce zaistiť všetko pre seba. Ak nechcel inému nič dopriať, rozložil sa lakťami na chlieb, aby mu ho nevzali. Taký človek je nevychovaný a neslušný.
