Translationwe have heard and have known them:/ and our fathers have told us./ They were not hidden from their children:/ in another generation./ Telling the praises of our lord and his powers:/ and his marvellous works which he has done./ And he raised up a testimony in iacob:/ and made a law in israel./ So great things as/ he commanded our fathers/ that they should make the fame known to their children:/ that another generation may know./ The children that should be born and should rise up:/ and shall describe in detail to their children./ That they may put their hope in god:/ and may not forget the works of god:/ and may seek after his commandments./ That they do not become like their fathers:/ a perverse and exasperating generation./ A generation that has not regulated their heart:/ and whose spirit has not been faithful towards god./ The children of effrem bending and shooting with the bow:/ they have been turned back in the day of battle./ |

Transcriptionaudivimus et cognovim[us] ea: / et patres n[ost]ri narraverunt nobis. / Non sunt occultata a filiis eor[um]: / in generatione altera. / Narrantes laudes d[omi]ni et virtutes eius: / et mirabilia eius qu[a]e fecit. / Et suscitavit testimoniu[m] in iacob: / et legem posuit in israel. / Quanta mandavit patrib[us] n[ost]ris / nota facere ea filiis suis: / ut cognoscat generatio altera. / Filii qui nascentur et exurgent: / enarrabunt filiis suis. / Ut ponant in deo spem suam: / et non obliviscantur op[er]u[m] dei: / et mandata eius exquirant. / Ne fiant sicut patres eor[um]: / generatio prava et exasperans. / Generatio qu[a]e non direxit cor suu[m]: / et non est creditus cu[m] deo sp[iri]t[us] ei[us]. / Filii effrem intendentes et mittentes arcu[m]: / conversi sunt in die belli. / |
