    Sirach 24
    • 1   Wisdom schal preise his soule, and he schal be onourid in God; and he schal haue glorie in the myddis of his puple.
    • 2   And he schal opene his mouth in the chirchis of the hiyeste; and he schal haue glorie in the siyt of his vertu.
    • 3   And he schal be enhaunsid in the myddis of his puple; and he schal wondre in hooli plentee.
    • 4   And in the multitude of chosun men he schal haue preisyng; and among blessid men he schal be blessid,
    • 5   and seie, I, the firste gendrid bifore ech creature, cam forth fro the mouth of the hiyeste.
    • 6   I made in heuenes, that liyt neuere failynge roos vp, and as a cloude Y hilide al erthe.
    • 7   Y dwellide in hiyeste thingis, and my trone in a piler of cloude.
    • 8   Y aloone yede aboute the cumpas of heuene, and Y perside the depthe of the see; and Y yede in the wawis of the see,
    • 9   and Y stood in al the lond.
    • 10   And Y hadde the firste dignite in ech puple, and in ech folk;
    • 11   and Y trad bi vertu on the neckis of alle excelent men and meke; and in alle these men Y souyte reste, and Y schal dwelle in the eritage of the Lord.
    • 12   Thanne the creatour of alle comaundide, and seide to me; and he that formyde me, restide in my tabernacle; and he seide to me,
    • 13   Dwelle thou in Jacob, and take thou eritage in Israel, and sende thou rootis in my chosun men.
    • 14   Y was gendrid of the bigynnyng and bifore worldis, and Y schal not faile `til to the world to comynge; and Y mynystride in an hooli dwellyng bifore hym.
    • 15   And so Y was maad stidfast in Syon, and in lijk maner Y restide in a citee halewid, and my power was in Jerusalem.
    • 16   And Y rootid in a puple onourid; and the eritage therof in to the partis of my God, and my witholding in the plentee of seyntis.
    • 17   Y was enhaunsid as a cedre in Liban, and as a cipresse tree in the hil of Syon.
    • 18   Y was enhaunsid as a palm tree in Cades, and as the plauntyng of roose in Jeryco.
    • 19   As a fair olyue tree in feeldis; and Y was enhaunsid as a plane tree bisidis watir in stretis.
    • 20   As canel and bawme yyuynge greet smelle, Y yaf odour; as chosun myrre Y yaf the swetnesse of odour.
    • 21   And as storax, and galban, and vngula, and gumme, and as Liban not kit doun, Y made hoot my dwellyng place; and myn odour as bawme not meddlid.
    • 22   Y as a terebynte stretchide forth my boowis; and my boowis ben boowis of onour, and of glorie.
    • 23   Y as a vyne made fruyt the swetnesse of odour; and my flouris ben the fruytis of onour, and of oneste.
    • 24   I am a modir of fair loue, and of drede, and of knowyng, and of hooli hope.
    • 25   In me is al grace of weie, and of treuthe; in me is al hope of lijf and of vertu.
    • 26   Alle ye that coueiten me, passe to me; and be ye fillid of my generaciouns.
    • 27   For whi my spirit is swete aboue hony; and myn eritage is aboue hony, and hony comb.
    • 28   My mynde is in the generacioun of worldis.
    • 29   Thei that eten me, schulen hungre yit; and thei that drynken me, schulen thirste yit.
    • 30   He that herith me, shal not be schent; and thei that worchen in me, schulen not do synne; and thei that declaren me,
    • 31   schulen haue euere lastynge lijf.
    • 32   Alle these thingis is the book of lijf, and the testament of the hiyeste, and the knowyng of treuthe.
    • 33   Moises comaundide a lawe in the comaundementis of riytfulnessis, and eritage to the hous of Jacob, and biheestis to Israel.
    • 34   He settide to Dauid, his child, to reise of hym a kyng moost strong, and sittynge with outen ende in the trone of onour.
    • 35   Which kyng fillith wisdom, as Phison schedith out watir; and as Tigris in the daies of newe thingis.
    • 36   Which, as Eufrates, fillith wit; which multiplieth, as Jordan in the tyme of heruest.
    • 37   Which sendith techyng as liyt; and is niy alle men, as Gion in the dai of vendage.
    • 38   Which makith perfitli first to knowe that wisdom; and a feblere man schal not enserche it.
    • 39   For whi the thouyt therof schal be plenteuouse of the see; and his counsel in the greet occian.
    • 40   Y wisdom schedde out floodis;
    • 41   Y as a weie of ful greet watir of the flood. Y as the flood Dorix, and as a watir cundit Y yede out of paradis.
    • 42   Y seide, I schal watir my gardyn of plauntyngis; and Y schal greetli fille the fruyt of my child beryng.
    • 43   And lo! a plenteuouse weie of watir is maad to me; and my flood neiyede to the see.
    • 44   For Y liytne techyng as the cheer morewtid to alle men; and Y schal telle out it `til to fer.
    • 45   Y schal perse alle the lowere partis of erthe, and Y schal biholde alle that slepen; and Y schal liytne alle that hopen in the Lord.
    • 46   Yit Y schal schede out teching as profesie, and Y schal leeue it to hem that seken wisdom; and Y schal not faile in to the generaciouns of hem, til in to the hooli world.
    • 47   Se ye, that Y trauelide not to me aloone, but to alle that seken out treuthe.

  • John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395) (wycliffe - 2.4.1)

    2020-08-01

    English (enm)

    The Holy Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, with the Apocryphal books, in the earliest English versions made from the Latin Vulgate by John Wycliffe and his followers, c.1395

    Source text https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(Wycliffe)

    John Wycliffe organized the first complete translation of the Bible into Middle English in the 1380s.

    The translation from the Vulgate was a collaborative effort, and it is not clear which portions are actually Wycliffe's work.

    Church authorities officially condemned the translators of the Bible into vernacular languages and called these heretics Lollards.

    Despite their prohibition, revised versions of Wycliffite Bibles remained in use for about 100 years.

    Wikisource attributes its source as the Wesley Center Online.

    That in turn was derived from the Fedosov transcription on the Slavic Bibles site http://www.sbible.ru

    The source text makes no use of archaic letters that were part of Middle English orthography.
    The Latin letter Yogh [ȝ] was evidently replaced by the letter [y] in the Fedosov transcription.

    The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.

    Verse numbers were not used in either the earlier or later version of the Wycliffe Bible in the fourteenth century. Each chapter consisted of one unbroken block of text. There were not even any paragraphs. Hence whatever verse numbers we now have in modern editions have been added retrospectively by comparison with other English Bibles and the Latin Vulgate.

    Two books found in the Vulgate, II Esdras and Psalm 151, were never part of the Wycliffe Bible.

    Module build notes:
    1. The Prayer of Manasseh has been separated from 2 Chronicles in order to avoid a critical versification issue.
    cf. In Wikisource it was assigned as 2 Paralipomenon chapter 37.
    2. The Letter of Jeremiah has been joined to Baruch as chapter 6 thereof.
    3. The book order of Wycliffe's Bible differs from that of the Vulg versification used in this module.
    4. There are now 313 notes in the Wikisource document.
    5. The Wikisource text substantially matches that of the nine books in module version 1.0
    6. Each of these five verses not in the Vulg versification was appended to the previous verse: Deut.27.27 Esth.5.15 Ps.38.15 Ps.147.10 Luke.10.43
    7. There are also several verses without any text. Use Sword utility emptyvss to list these.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
