Psalms 10
1 Yahweh, (why are you far away [from us]?/it seems that you are far away [from us].) [RHQ] Why do you not pay attention when we have troubles [RHQ]?
Διά τι, Κύριε, ίστασαι μακρόθεν; κρύπτεσαι εν καιρώ θλίψεως;
2 People who are proud gladly cause poor people to suffer. So [cause what they do to others to happen to them]! May they be caught in the [same] traps that they set to catch others [MET]!
Εν τη υπερηφανία του ασεβούς κατακαίεται ο πτωχός· ας πιασθώσιν εν ταις πανουργίαις, τας οποίας διαλογίζονται.
3 They brag about the [evil] things that they want to do. They praise people who seize from others things that do not belong to them, and they curse you, Yahweh.
Διότι ο ασεβής καυχάται εις τας επιθυμίας της ψυχής αυτού, και ο πλεονέκτης μακαρίζει εαυτόν· καταφρονεί τον Κύριον.
4 Wicked people are very proud. As a result, they do not (seek help from/are not concerned about) God; they do not even think that God exists.
Ο ασεβής διά την αλαζονείαν του προσώπου αυτού δεν θέλει εκζητήσει τον Κύριον· πάντες οι διαλογισμοί αυτού είναι ότι δεν υπάρχει Θεός.
5 But [it seems that] they succeed in everything that they do. They do not think that they will be condemned/punished for their deeds, and they (sneer at/make fun of) their enemies.
Αι οδοί αυτού μολύνονται εν παντί καιρώ· αι κρίσεις σου είναι πολύ υψηλά από προσώπου αυτού· φυσά εναντίον πάντων των εχθρών αυτού.
6 They think, “Nothing bad will happen to us! We will never have troubles!”
Είπεν εν τη καρδία αυτού, δεν θέλω σαλευθή από γενεάς εις γενεάν· διότι δεν θέλω πέσει εις δυστυχίαν.
7 When they talk [MTY], they are always cursing, lying, and threatening to harm others. They constantly say [MTY] evil things that show that they are ready to do cruel things to others.
Το στόμα αυτού γέμει κατάρας και απάτης και δόλου· υπό την γλώσσαν αυτού είναι κακία και ανομία.
8 They hide in villages, ready to (ambush/suddenly attack) and kill people who (are innocent/have done nothing wrong). They constantly search for people who will not be able to (resist/defend themselves) [when they are attacked].
Κάθηται εν ενέδρα των προαυλίων, εν αποκρύφοις, διά να φονεύση τον αθώον· οι οφθαλμοί αυτού παραμονεύουσι τον πένητα.
9 They are like [MET] lions that crouch down and hide, waiting to pounce on their prey. They are like hunters that catch their prey with a net and then drag it away.
Ενεδρεύει εν αποκρύφω, ως λέων εν τω σπηλαίω αυτού· ενεδρεύει διά να αρπάση τον πτωχόν· αρπάζει τον πτωχόν, όταν σύρη αυτόν εν τη παγίδι αυτού.
10 Just like helpless animals are crushed, people who cannot defend themselves are killed because wicked people are very strong.
Κύπτει, χαμηλόνει, διά να πέσωσιν οι πτωχοί εις τους όνυχας αυτού.
11 Wicked people say, “God will not pay any attention [to what we do]. His eyes are covered, so he never sees anything.”
Είπεν εν τη καρδία αυτού, ελησμόνησεν ο Θεός· έκρυψε το πρόσωπόν αυτού· δεν θέλει ιδεί ποτέ.
12 Yahweh God, arise [and help us] Punish [IDM] those wicked people! And do not forget those who are suffering!
Ανάστηθι, Κύριε· Θεέ, ύψωσον την χείρα σου· μη λησμονήσης τους τεθλιμμένους.
13 Wicked people revile you [RHQ] continually. They think, “God will never punish us!”
Διά τι παρώξυνεν ο ασεβής τον Θεόν; είπεν εν τη καρδία αυτού, Δεν θέλεις εξετάσει.
14 But you see the trouble and the distress [that they cause]. People who are suffering expect that you will help them; and you help orphans, [also].
Είδες· διότι συ παρατηρείς την αδικίαν και την ύβριν, διά να ανταποδώσης με την χείρα σου· εις σε αφιερόνεται ο πτωχός· εις τον ορφανόν συ είσαι ο βοηθός.
15 (Break the arms/Destroy the power) of wicked [DOU] people! Continue to pursue and punish them for the wicked things that they do, until they stop doing those things.
Σύντριψον τον βραχίονα του ασεβούς και πονηρού· εξερεύνησον την ασέβειαν αυτού, εωσού μη εύρης αυτήν πλέον.
16 Yahweh, you are our king forever, but [wicked] nations will disappear from the earth.
Ο Κύριος είναι βασιλεύς εις τον αιώνα του αιώνος· τα έθνη θέλουσιν εξαλειφθή εκ της γης αυτού.
17 You have listened to afflicted/suffering people when they cry out to you. You hear them [when they pray], and you encourage [IDM] them.
Κύριε, εισήκουσας την επιθυμίαν των πενήτων· θέλεις στηρίξει την καρδίαν αυτών, θέλεις κάμει προσεκτικόν το ωτίον σου·
18 You show that orphans and oppressed people have not done things that are wrong, with the result that human beings will not cause people to be terrified any more.
διά να κρίνης τον ορφανόν και τον τεταπεινωμένον, ώστε ο άνθρωπος ο γήϊνος να μη καταδυναστεύη πλέον.
