#Sirach 26:1–3: #Happy is the #husband of a good wife; the number of his days will be #doubled. A #loyal wife rejoices her husband, and he will complete his years in #peace. A good wife is a great #blessing; she will be granted among the blessings of the man who #fears the Lord.

今年の聖書週間は今日までなので、シラ書を読んでいた。
フランシスコ会訳で34章まで読んだが、読みながら色々考えては立ち止まって進まない。明日からも読めるときに読んでいこうと思う。

そして本棚には、本田神父様の訳された聖書がある。
存在自体は20年くらい前から知っていたが、今年、キリスト教「界隈の外」で書かれた本に出て来たのを見て、気になって買い求めた。
こちらも、早いところ本腰を入れて読みたい。

読みやすい文章だけれど、この翻訳の背景を思うと、読み手としても一定の心構えを持って読みたい。

と思いながら、今年の聖書週間が終わる。
