Psalms 104
1 [I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh. Yahweh, my God, you are very great! Like a king has on his royal robes [MET], you have honor and majesty/greatness all around you!
Ευλόγει, η ψυχή μου, τον Κύριον. Κύριε Θεέ μου, εμεγαλύνθης σφόδρα· τιμήν και μεγαλοπρέπειαν είσαι ενδεδυμένος·
2 You [created/caused] light to be like your robe [MET]. You spread out the sky like [a man sets up] a tent.
ο περιτυλιττόμενος το φως ως ιμάτιον, ο εκτείνων τον ουρανόν ως καταπέτασμα·
3 You made/put your home [in heaven], above the rain clouds in the sky, [like a man puts the] rafters of his house in place [MET]. You made/caused the clouds to be like chariots [to carry you].
ο στεγάζων με ύδατα τα υπερώα αυτού· ο ποιών τα νέφη άμαξαν αυτού· ο περιπατών επί πτερύγων ανέμων·
4 You caused the winds to be [like] your messengers [MET], and flames of fire to be [like] your servants.
ο ποιών τους αγγέλους αυτού πνεύματα, τους λειτουργούς αυτού πυρός φλόγα·
5 You placed the world firmly on its foundation so that it can never be moved/shaken.
ο θεμελιών την γην επί την βάσιν αυτής, διά να μη σαλευθή εις τον αιώνα του αιώνος.
6 [Later], you covered the earth with a flood, like a blanket, with the water that covered the mountains.
Με την άβυσσον, ως με ιμάτιον, εκάλυψας αυτήν· τα ύδατα εστάθησαν επί των ορέων·
7 [But] when you rebuked the water, the oceans receded; your voice spoke like thunder, and then the waters rushed away.
από επιτιμήσεώς σου έφυγον· από της φωνής της βροντής σου εσύρθησαν εν βία·
8 Mountains rose up [from the water], and the valleys sank down to the levels that you had determined for them.
ανέβησαν εις τα όρη, κατέβησαν εις τας κοιλάδας, εις τόπον, τον οποίον διώρισας δι' αυτά·
9 [Then] you set a boundary for the oceans, a boundary that they cannot cross; their water will never again cover the [whole] earth.
έθεσας όριον, το οποίον δεν θέλουσιν υπερβή ουδέ θέλουσιν επιστρέψει διά να σκεπάσωσι την γην.
10 You make/cause springs to pour [water] into ravines; their [water] flows down between the mountains.
Ο εξαποστέλλων πηγάς εις τας φάραγγας, διά να ρέωσιν αναμέσον των ορέων·
11 Those [streams] provide water for all the animals [to drink]; the wild donkeys [drink the water and] are no longer thirsty.
ποτίζουσι πάντα τα θηρία του αγρού· οι άγριοι όνοι σβύνουσι την δίψαν αυτών·
12 Birds make their nests alongside [the streams], and they sing among the branches [of the trees].
πλησίον αυτών τα πετεινά του ουρανού κατασκηνούσι, και αναμέσον των κλάδων κελαδούσιν.
13 From (your home in heaven/the sky) you send rain down on the mountains, and you fill the earth with many good things that you create.
Ο ποτίζων τα όρη εκ των υπερώων αυτού· από του καρπού των έργων σου χορταίνει η γη.
14 You make/cause grass to grow for the cattle [to eat], and you make/cause plants to grow for people. In that way [animals and people] get their food from [what grows in] the soil.
Ο αναδίδων χόρτον διά τα κτήνη και βοτάνην προς χρήσιν του ανθρώπου, διά να εξάγη τροφήν εκ της γης,
15 We get [grapes to make] [MTY] wine to [drink and] make us cheerful, and we get [olives to make] [MTY] olive oil to [put on our] skin and cause it to shine, and we get [grain to make] [MTY] bread to give us strength.
και οίνον ευφραίνοντα την καρδίαν του ανθρώπου, έλαιον διά να λαμπρύνη το πρόσωπον αυτού, και άρτον στηρίζοντα την καρδίαν του ανθρώπου.
16 Yahweh, you [send plenty of rain to] water your trees, the cedar [trees] that you planted in Lebanon.
Εχορτάσθησαν τα δένδρα του Κυρίου· αι κέδροι του Λιβάνου, τας οποίας εφύτευσεν·
17 Birds make their nests in those [trees]; even storks make their nests in pine/fir trees.
Όπου τα πετεινά κάμνουσι φωλεάς· αι πεύκαι είναι η κατοικία του πελαργού.
18 High up in the mountains the wild goats live, and hyraxes/badgers live in the crags/crevices in the rocks.
Τα όρη τα υψηλά είναι διά τας δορκάδας· αι πέτραι καταφυγή εις τους δασύποδας.
19 [Yahweh], you made the moon to indicate the times for our festivals, and you made the sun that knows when to go down.
Έκαμε την σελήνην διά τους καιρούς· ο ήλιος γνωρίζει την δύσιν αυτού.
20 You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the animals in the forest prowl around, [looking for food].
Φέρεις σκότος, και γίνεται νύξ· εν αυτή περιφέρονται πάντα τα θηρία του δάσους·
21 At night the young lions roar as they seek their prey, [but] they depend on you to give them food.
οι σκύμνοι βρυχώνται διά να αρπάσωσι, και να ζητήσωσι παρά του Θεού την τροφήν αυτών.
22 At dawn, they go back to their dens and lie down.
Ο ήλιος ανατέλλει· συνάγονται και πλαγιάζουσιν εν τοις σπηλαίοις αυτών·
23 And during the daytime, people go to their work; they work until it is evening.
εξέρχεται ο άνθρωπος εις το έργον αυτού και εις την εργασίαν αυτού έως εσπέρας.
24 Yahweh, you have made so many different kinds of things! You were [very] wise as you made them all. The earth is full of the creatures that you [made].
Πόσον μεγάλα είναι τα έργα σου, Κύριε· τα πάντα εν σοφία εποίησας· η γη είναι πλήρης των ποιημάτων σου·
25 [We see] the ocean which is very large [DOU]! It is full of many kinds of living creatures, big ones and little ones.
αύτη η θάλασσα η μεγάλη και ευρύχωρος. Εκεί είναι ερπετά αναρίθμητα, ζώα μικρά μετά μεγάλων·
26 We see the ships which sail along! We see the huge sea monster, which you made to (splash around/play) in the sea.
εκεί διατρέχουσι τα πλοία· εκεί ο Λευϊάθαν ούτος, τον οποίον έπλασας διά να παίζη εν αυτή.
27 All of those creatures depend on you to give them the food that they need.
Πάντα ταύτα επί σε ελπίζουσι, διά να δώσης εν καιρώ την τροφήν αυτών.
28 When you give them the food that they need, they gather it. You give them what you have in your hand, and they [eat it and] are satisfied.
Δίδεις εις αυτά, συνάγουσιν· ανοίγεις την χείρα σου, χορταίνουσιν αγαθά.
29 [But] if you refuse to give food to them, they become terrified. And when you cause them to stop breathing, they die; their bodies [decay and] become soil again.
Αποστρέφεις το πρόσωπόν σου, ταράττονται· σηκόνεις την πνοήν αυτών, αποθνήσκουσι και εις το χώμα αυτών επιστρέφουσιν·
30 When you cause newborn creatures to begin to breathe, they start to live; you give new life to all the living creatures on the earth.
εξαποστέλλεις το πνεύμά σου, κτίζονται, και ανανεόνεις το πρόσωπον της γης.
31 I want the glory of Yahweh to last forever. I want him to rejoice about [all] the things that he has created.
Η δόξα του Κυρίου έστω εις τον αιώνα· ας ευφραίνεται ο Κύριος εις τα έργα αυτού·
32 He causes the earth to shake [just] by looking at it! By [merely] touching the mountains he makes/causes them to pour out fire and smoke!
ο επιβλέπων επί την γην και κάμνων αυτήν να τρέμη· εγγίζει τα όρη, και καπνίζουσι.
33 I will sing to Yahweh (as long as I live/throughout my entire life). I will praise my God until the day that I die.
Θέλω ψάλλει εις τον Κύριον ενόσω ζώ· θέλω ψαλμωδεί εις τον Θεόν μου ενόσω υπάρχω.
34 I want Yahweh to be pleased by all those things that I have thought [about him], because I rejoice about [knowing] him.
Η εις αυτόν μελέτη μου θέλει είσθαι γλυκεία· εγώ θέλω ευφραίνεσθαι εις τον Κύριον.
35 [But] I desire that sinners will disappear from the earth, so that there will be no more wicked [people]! [But as for] me, I will praise Yahweh! (Praise him/Hallelujah)!
Ας εκλείψωσιν οι αμαρτωλοί από της γης και οι ασεβείς ας μη υπάρχωσι πλέον. Ευλόγει, η ψυχή μου, τον Κύριον. Αλληλούϊα.
