    Sirach 43
    • 1   The firmament of hiynesse is the fairnesse therof; the fairnesse of heuene in the siyt of glorie.
    • 2   The sunne in biholdyng, tellynge in goyng out, is a woundurful vessel, the werk of hiy God.
    • 3   In the tyme of myddai it brenneth the erthe; and who schal mow suffre in the siyt of his heete? Kepynge a furneis in the werkis of heete;
    • 4   the sunne brennynge hillis in thre maneris, sendynge out beemys of fier, and schynynge ayen with hise beemys, blyndith iyen.
    • 5   The Lord is greet, that made it; and in the wordis of hym it hastide iourney.
    • 6   And the moone in alle men in his tyme is shewing of tyme, and a signe of the world.
    • 7   A signe of the feeste dai is takun of the moone; the liyt which is maad litil in the ende.
    • 8   The monethe is encreessynge bi the name therof, wondirfuli in to the ending.
    • 9   A vessel of castels in hiy thingis, schynynge gloriousli in the firmament of heuene.
    • 10   The fairnesse of heuene is the glorie of sterris; the Lord an hiy liytneth the world.
    • 11   In the wordis of the hooli tho schulen stonde at the doom; and tho schulen not faile in her wakyngis.
    • 12   Se thou the bouwe, and blesse thou hym that made it; it is ful fair in his schynyng.
    • 13   It yede aboute heuene in the cumpas of his glorie; the hondis of hiy God openyden it.
    • 14   Bi his comaundement he hastide the snow; and he hastith to sende out the leiytyngis of his dom.
    • 15   Therfor tresouris weren opened, and clowdis fledden out as been.
    • 16   In his greetnesse he settide clowdis; and stoonys of hail weren brokun.
    • 17   Hillis schulen be moued in his siyt; and the south wynd schal blowe in his wille.
    • 18   The vois of his thundur schal beete the erthe; the tempest of the north, and the gaderyng togidere of wynd.
    • 19   And as a brid puttynge doun to sitte sprengith snow, and the comyng doun of that snow is as a locust drenchynge doun.
    • 20   The iye schal wondre on the fairnesse of whitnesse therof; and an herte dredith on the reyn therof.
    • 21   He schal schede out frost as salt on the erthe; and while the wynd blowith, it schal be maad as coppis of a brere.
    • 22   The coold northun wynd blew, and cristal of watir frees togidre; it restith, on al the gedering togidere of watris, and it clothith it silf with watris, as with an haburioun.
    • 23   And it schal deuoure hillis, and it schal brenne the desert; and it schal quenche grene thing as fier.
    • 24   The medicyn of alle thingis is in the haasting of a cloude; a deewe, meetynge the heete comynge of brennyng, schal make it low.
    • 25   The wynd was stille in the word of God; bi his thouyt he made peesible the depthe of watris; and the Lord Jhesu plauntide it.
    • 26   Thei that seilen in the see, tellen out the perels therof; and we heeringe with oure eeris schulen wondre.
    • 27   There ben ful cleer werkis, and wonderful, dyuerse kindis of beestis, and of alle litle beestis, and the creature of wondurful fischis.
    • 28   The ende of weie is confermyd for it; and alle thingis ben maad in the word of hym.
    • 29   We seien many thingis, and we faylen in wordis; forsothe he is the endyng of wordis.
    • 30   To what thing schulen we be myyti, that han glorie in alle thingis? for he is al myyti aboue alle hise werkis.
    • 31   The Lord is ferdful, and ful greet; and his power is wondurful.
    • 32   Glorifie ye the Lord as myche as euere ye moun, yit he schal be myytiere; and his grete doynge is wondurful.
    • 33   Ye blessynge the Lord, enhaunse hym as myche as ye moun; for he is more than al preisyng.
    • 34   Ye enhaunsynge hym schulen be fillid with vertu; trauele ye not, for ye schulen not take perfitli.
    • 35   Who siy hym, and schal telle out? and who schal magnefie hym, as he is fro the bigynnyng?
    • 36   Many thingis gretter than these ben hid fro vs; for we han seyn fewe thingis of hise werkis.
    • 37   Forsothe the Lord made alle thingis; and he yaf wisdom to men doynge feithfuli.

  • 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.
