Sirach 48:11
Print
Happy are those who saw you and who have fallen asleep in your love, for we will surely live as well.
Blessed are they that saw thee, and were honoured with thy friendship.
Fortunate are those who live to see you come, as well as those who have already died in love, for we too shall live.
Blessed is the one who shall have seen you before he dies!
Blessed is he who will see you and those who have fallen asleep in love, for we also shall certainly live.
Happy are those who saw you and were adorned with your love! For we also shall surely live.
Happy are those who saw you and were adorned with your love! For we also shall surely live.
Happy are those who saw you and were adorned with your love! For we also shall surely live.
Happy are those who saw you and were adorned in love! For we also shall surely live.
Blessed are those who saw you, and those who have been adorned in love; for we also shall surely live.
Blessed are those who saw you, and those who have been adorned in love; for we also shall surely live.
They be blessed, that saw thee, and were made fair in thy friendship; for why we live only in life, but after death our name shall not be such. [Blessful be they, that thee have heard, and in thy friendship be made fair; for why we with life live only, after death forsooth such shall not be our name.]
