1 Maccabees 12:11-15 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

11. We, on our part, have unceasingly remembered you in the sacrifices and prayers that we offer on our feasts and other appropriate days, as it is right and proper to remember brothers.

12. We likewise rejoice in your renown.

13. But many tribulations and many wars have beset us, and the kings around us have attacked us.

14. We did not wish to be troublesome to you and to the rest of our allies and friends in these wars.

15. For we have the help of Heaven for our support, and we have been saved from our enemies, and our enemies have been humbled.
