Original text and translations

Latin text Beatus homo cui donatum est habere timorem Dei, qui tenet illum cui assimilabitur? Timor Dei initium dilectionis ejus, fidei autem initium agglutinandum est ei. Ecclesiasticus 25;15-16

English translation Blessed is the man, to whom it is given to have the fear of God: he that holdeth it, to whom shall he be likened? The fear of God is the beginning of his love: and the beginning of faith is to be fast joined unto it.

Hungarian translation Boldog az ember, akinek megadatott Isten félelme, aki ragaszkodik hozzá, van-e párja annak? Isten félelme az istenszeretet kezdete, a hit pedig az ő követésének a kezdete. (Sirák fia könyve 25;15-16)
