2 Samuel 22
1 And David made a song to the Lord in these words, on the day when the Lord made him free from the hands of all his haters, and from the hand of Saul:
Και ελάλησεν ο Δαβίδ προς τον Κύριον τους λόγους της ωδής ταύτης, καθ' ην ημέραν ο Κύριος ηλευθέρωσεν αυτόν εκ χειρός πάντων των εχθρών αυτού και εκ χειρός του Σαούλ·
2 And he said, The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour, even mine;
και είπεν, Ο Κύριος είναι πέτρα μου και φρούριόν μου και ελευθερωτής μου·
3 My God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my safe place; my saviour, who keeps me safe from the violent man.
ο Θεός είναι ο βράχος μου· επ' αυτόν θέλω ελπίζει· η ασπίς μου και το κέρας της σωτηρίας μου, ο υψηλός πύργος μου και η καταφυγή μου, ο σωτήρ μου· συ έσωσάς με εκ της αδικίας.
4 I will send up my cry to the Lord, who is to be praised; so will I be made safe from those who are against me.
Θέλω επικαλεσθή τον αξιΰμνητον Κύριον, και εκ των εχθρών μου θέλω σωθή.
5 For the waves of death came round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear;
Ότε του θανάτου τα κύματα με περιεκύκλωσαν, χείμαρροι ανομίας με κατετρόμαξαν,
οι πόνοι του άδου με περιεκύκλωσαν, αι παγίδες του θανάτου με έφθασαν, (Sheol h7585)
7 In my trouble my voice went up to the Lord, and my cry to my God: my voice came to his hearing in his holy Temple, and my prayer came to his ears.
εν τη στενοχωρία μου επεκαλέσθην τον Κύριον, και προς τον Θεόν μου εβόησα· και ήκουσε της φωνής μου εκ του ναού αυτού, και η κραυγή μου ήλθεν εις τα ώτα αυτού.
8 Then the earth was moved with a violent shock; the bases of heaven were moved and shaking, because he was angry.
Τότε εσαλεύθη και έντρομος έγεινεν η γή· τα θεμέλια του ουρανού εταράχθησαν και εσαλεύθησαν, διότι ωργίσθη.
9 There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: coals were lighted by it.
Καπνός ανέβαινεν εκ των μυκτήρων αυτού, και πυρ κατατρώγον εκ του στόματος αυτού· άνθρακες ανήφθησαν απ' αυτού.
10 The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet.
Και έκλινε τους ουρανούς και κατέβη, και γνόφος υπό τους πόδας αυτού.
11 And he went through the air, seated on a storm-cloud: going quickly on the wings of the wind.
Και επέβη επί χερουβείμ και επέταξε, και εφάνη επί πτερύγων ανέμων.
12 And he made the dark his tent round him, a mass of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Και έθεσε σκηνήν πέριξ αυτού το σκότος, ύδατα ζοφερά, νέφη πυκνά των αέρων.
13 Before his shining light his dark clouds went past, raining ice and coals of fire.
Άνθρακες πυρός εξεκαύθησαν εκ της λάμψεως της έμπροσθεν αυτού.
14 The Lord made thunder in the heavens, and the voice of the Highest was sounding out.
Εβρόντησεν ο Κύριος εξ ουρανού, και ο Ύψιστος έδωκε την φωνήν αυτού.
15 And he sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.
Και απέστειλε βέλη και εσκόρπισεν αυτούς· αστραπάς, και συνετάραξεν αυτούς.
16 Then the deep beds of the sea were seen, and the bases of the world were uncovered, because of the Lord's wrath, because of the breath of his mouth.
Και εφάνησαν οι πυθμένες της θαλάσσης, ανεκαλύφθησαν τα θεμέλια της οικουμένης, εις την επιτίμησιν του Κυρίου, από του φυσήματος της πνοής των μυκτήρων αυτού.
17 He sent from on high, he took me, pulling me out of great waters.
Εξαπέστειλεν εξ ύψους· έλαβέ με· είλκυσέ με εξ υδάτων πολλών.
18 He made me free from my strong hater, from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I.
Ηλευθέρωσέ με εκ του δυνατού εχθρού μου, και εκ των μισούντων με, διότι ήσαν δυνατώτεροί μου.
19 They came on me in the day of my trouble: but the Lord was my support.
Προέφθασάν με εν τη ημέρα της θλίψεώς μου· αλλ' ο Κύριος εστάθη το αντιστήριγμά μου·
20 He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me.
Και εξήγαγέ με εις ευρυχωρίαν· ηλευθέρωσέ με, διότι ηυδόκησεν εις εμέ.
21 The Lord gives me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean before him.
Αντήμειψέ με ο Κύριος κατά την δικαιοσύνην μου· κατά την καθαρότητα των χειρών μου ανταπέδωκεν εις εμέ.
22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not been turned away in sin from my God.
Διότι εφύλαξα τας οδούς του Κυρίου και δεν ησέβησα εκκλίνας από του Θεού μου.
23 For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me.
Διότι πάσαι αι κρίσεις αυτού ήσαν έμπροσθέν μου· και από των διαταγμάτων αυτού δεν απεμακρύνθην.
24 And I was upright before him, and I kept myself from sin.
Και εστάθην άμεμπτος προς αυτόν, και εφυλάχθην από της ανομίας μου.
25 Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes.
Και ανταπέδωκεν εις εμέ ο Κύριος κατά την δικαιοσύνην μου, Κατά την καθαρότητά μου έμπροσθεν των οφθαλμών αυτού.
26 On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright;
Μετά οσίου, όσιος θέλεις είσθαι, μετά ανδρός τελείου, τέλειος θέλεις είσθαι·
27 He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge.
μετά καθαρού, καθαρός θέλεις είσθαι· και μετά διεστραμμένου διεστραμμένα θέλεις φερθή.
28 For you are the saviour of those who are in trouble; but your eyes are on men of pride, to make them low.
Και θέλεις σώσει λαόν τεθλιμμένον· επί δε τους υπερηφάνους οι οφθαλμοί σου είναι, διά να ταπεινώσης αυτούς,
29 For you are my light, O Lord; and the Lord will make the dark bright for me.
διότι συ είσαι ο λύχνος μου, Κύριε· και ο Κύριος θέλει φωτίσει το σκότος μου.
30 By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in: by the help of my God I have gone over a wall.
Διότι διά σου θέλω διασπάσει στράτευμα· διά του Θεού μου θέλω υπερπηδήσει τείχος.
31 As for God, his way is all good: the word of the Lord is tested; he is a safe cover for all those who put their faith in him.
Του Θεού, η οδός αυτού είναι άμωμος, ο λόγος του Κυρίου είναι δεδοκιμασμένος· είναι ασπίς πάντων των ελπιζόντων επ' αυτόν.
32 For who is God but the Lord? and who is a Rock but our God?
Διότι τις Θεός, πλην του Κυρίου; και τις φρούριον, πλην του Θεού ημών·
33 God puts a strong band about me, guiding me in a straight way.
ο Θεός είναι το κραταιόν οχύρωμά μου· και καθιστών άμωμον την οδόν μου.
34 He makes my feet like roes' feet, and puts me on high places.
Κάμνει τους πόδας μου ως των ελάφων και με στήνει επί τους υψηλούς τόπους μου.
35 He makes my hands expert in war, so that a bow of brass is bent by my arms.
Διδάσκει τας χείρας μου εις πόλεμον, και έκαμε τόξον χαλκούν τους βραχίονάς μου.
36 You have given me the breastplate of your salvation, and your mercy has made me great.
Και έδωκας εις εμέ την ασπίδα της σωτηρίας σου· και η αγαθότης σου με εμεγάλυνεν.
37 You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet make no slip.
Συ επλάτυνας τα βήματά μου υποκάτω μου, και οι πόδες μου δεν εκλονίσθησαν.
38 I go after my haters and overtake them; not turning back till they are all overcome.
Κατεδίωξα τους εχθρούς μου και ηφάνισα αυτούς· και δεν επέστρεψα εωσού συνετέλεσα αυτούς.
39 I have sent destruction on them and given them wounds, so that they are not able to get up: they are stretched under my feet.
Και συνετέλεσα αυτούς, και δεν ηδυνήθησαν να ανεγερθώσιν· και έπεσον υπό τους πόδας μου.
40 For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who came out against me.
Και περιέζωσάς με δύναμιν εις πόλεμον· συνέκαμψας υποκάτω μου τους επανισταμένους επ' εμέ.
41 By you their backs are turned in flight, so that my haters are cut off.
Και έκαμες τους εχθρούς μου να στρέψωσιν εις εμέ τα νώτα, και εξωλόθρευσα τους μισούντάς με.
42 They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer.
Περιέβλεψαν, αλλ' ουδείς ο σώζων· εβόησαν προς τον Κύριον, και δεν εισήκουσεν αυτών.
43 Then they were crushed as small as the dust of the earth, stamped down under my feet like the waste of the streets.
Και κατελέπτυνα αυτούς ως την σκόνην της γής· συνέτριψα αυτούς ως τον πηλόν της οδού και κατεπάτησα αυτούς.
44 You have made me free from the fightings of my people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants.
Και ηλευθέρωσάς με εκ των αντιλογιών του λαού μου· κατέστησάς με κεφαλήν εθνών· λαός, τον οποίον δεν εγνώρισα, εδούλευσεν εις εμέ.
45 Men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority: from the time when my name comes to their ears, they will be ruled by me.
Ξένοι υπετάχθησαν εις εμέ· μόλις ήκουσαν, και υπήκουσαν εις εμέ.
46 They will be wasted away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear.
Ξένοι παρελύθησαν και κατετρόμαξαν εκ των αποκρύφων τόπων αυτών.
47 The Lord is living; praise be to my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be honoured:
Ζη Κύριος· και ευλογημένον το φρούριόν μου· και ας υψωθή ο Θεός, το φρούριον της σωτηρίας μου.
48 It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule.
Ο Θεός, ο εκδικών με και υποτάττων τους λαούς υποκάτω μου·
49 He makes me free from my haters: I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man.
Και ο εξαγαγών με εκ των εχθρών μου· συ, ναι, με υψόνεις υπεράνω των επανισταμένων επ' εμέ· ηλευθέρωσάς με από ανδρός αδίκου.
50 Because of this I will give you praise, O Lord, among the nations, and will make a song of praise to your name.
Διά τούτο θέλω σε υμνεί, Κύριε, μεταξύ των εθνών και εις το όνομά σου θέλω ψάλλει.
51 Great salvation does he give to his king; he has mercy on the king of his selection, David, and on his seed for ever.
Αυτός μεγαλύνει τας σωτηρίας του βασιλέως αυτού· και κάμνει έλεος εις τον κεχρισμένον αυτού, εις τον Δαβίδ και εις το σπέρμα αυτού έως αιώνος.
