| 1約史雅的紀念，就如精製香料的人，用各種香味配成的香料， | 1The memory of Josiah is like blended incense carefully prepared by the perfumer; it is like delicious honey to every mouth, like music during a banquet. |
| 2在眾人口裏，甜如蜂蜜，又如酒會中的音樂。 | 2He followed the right way in converting the people and removing the horror of idolatry. |
| 3他悲痛人民的背信，因此剷除了邪惡的可憎之物； | 3He set his heart on the Lord and succeeded in having godliness prevail over wickedness. |
| 4他使自己的心，歸向上主；他在罪惡橫流的時代，實行了熱心敬主的事。 | 4With the exception of David, Hezekiah and Josiah, the kings were very sinful men. they abandoned the Law of the Most High bringing an end to the kings of Judah. |
| 5除達味、希則克雅和約史雅外，別的都犯了錯誤； | 5They surrendered their power and their honor to foreign nations. |
| 6猶大的君王們，由於離棄了至高者的法律，蔑視了對天主應有的敬畏，因而都已喪亡： | 6Their enemies set fire to the holy city, making its streets desolate |
| 7因為，他們將自己的權力，讓給外人，把自己的光榮，交於外方民族。 | 7as Jeremiah had foretold. |
| 8這民族燒毀了蒙選的聖城，使城中的道路不見人跡，全照耶肋米亞預言過的。 | 8It was Ezekiel who saw the vision of Glory when the Lord showed it to him above the chariot of the cherubim. |
| 9因為猶太人虐待了他，雖然他從母胎就被選為先知，來擔負剷除、推翻、毀滅、建設、栽培和復興等工作。 | 9He also remembered Job, the one who always followed the way of justice. |
| 10厄則克耳看見上主在革魯賓的車上，顯示給他的輝煌異像； | 10As for the twelve prophets, may their bones spring to life from the tomb, for they comforted the people of Jacob and saved them with confident hope. |
| 11他也提到遵行各樣正道的約伯。 | 11Can we ever adequately praise Zerubbabel who was like a ring at the finger of God, and |
| 12願十二先知的骨骸，從自己的塋地再放異彩，因為他們曾安慰了雅各伯，以自已堅固的信仰拯救了他。 | 12likewise Joshua, son of Jozadak? They were men who, in their days, built the Temple to the Lord, a sanctuary destined for everlasting glory. |
| 13我們要怎樣讚頌則魯巴貝耳？他像右手所帶的印章指環， | 13Lasting too is the memory of Nehemiah, who rebuilt our ruined walls, provided gates and bars and rebuilt our homes. |
| 14約匝達克的兒子耶叔亞，也是如此：他們二人在任期內，建造了殿宇，並為上主高建了一座永遠輝煌的聖殿。 | 14No one on earth was created to equal Enoch for he was taken up from the earth. |
| 15乃赫米雅值得紀念的事更多：他給我們重修了倒塌的城墻，安門加閂，並修葺了我們的房屋。 | 15And never was there a man like Joseph, the greatest among his brothers, the leader of his people; his bones were honored. |
| 16世上受造的人中，沒有一個像哈諾客這樣的人，因為他從世上被提升天。 | 16Shem and Seth were exalted among men, but Adam's glory was greater than any other living being. |
| 17出生的人中，也沒有一個像若瑟的，他是兄弟們的領袖，民族的棟梁，弟兄的監護人； | 17 |
| 18他的遺骸特別受人敬重，死後還說了預言。 | 18 |
| 19在人類中，閃、舍特、厄諾士、都受人尊敬；但在受造上，超過眾生的，卻是亞當。 | 19 |
