Psalms 118
1 Tell Yahweh that you thank him very much for the good [things that he has done for you] He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever.
Δοξολογείτε τον Κύριον, διότι είναι αγαθός, διότι το έλεος αυτού μένει εις τον αιώνα.
2 You Israeli [people] should [repeatedly] shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
Ας είπη τώρα ο Ισραήλ, ότι το έλεος αυτού μένει εις τον αιώνα.
3 You [priests] who are descendants of Aaron should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves us, his people, forever!”
Ας είπη τώρα ο οίκος Ααρών, ότι το έλεος αυτού μένει εις τον αιώνα.
4 All you who revere him should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
Ας είπωσι τώρα οι φοβούμενοι τον Κύριον, ότι το έλεος αυτού μένει εις τον αιώνα.
5 When I was distressed, I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me and set me free [from my worries/troubles].
Εν θλίψει επεκαλέσθην τον Κύριον· ο Κύριος μου υπήκουσε, δους ευρυχωρίαν.
6 Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), so I will not be afraid [of anything]. No one [RHQ] can do anything that will [prevent God from blessing] me forever.
Ο Κύριος είναι υπέρ εμού· δεν θέλω φοβηθή· τι να μοι κάμη άνθρωπος;
7 [Yes], Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), [so] I will look triumphantly at my enemies [while he defeats them].
Ο Κύριος είναι υπέρ εμού μεταξύ των βοηθούντων με· και εγώ θέλω ιδεί την εκδίκησιν επί τους εχθρούς μου.
8 It is better to trust in Yahweh than to (depend on/trust in) people.
Κάλλιον να ελπίζη τις επί Κύριον, παρά να θαρρή επ' άνθρωπον.
9 It is better to trust Yahweh to protect [us] than to trust [that influential/important] people [will protect us].
Κάλλιον να ελπίζη τις επί Κύριον, παρά να θαρρή επ' άρχοντας.
10 Armies of [MTY] many nations surrounded me, [but] Yahweh enabled me to defeat them by his power [MTY].
Πάντα τα έθνη με περιεκύκλωσαν· αλλ' εν τω ονόματι τον Κυρίου θέλω κατατροπώσει αυτούς.
11 They completely surrounded me, [but] I defeated them all by the power of Yahweh.
Με περιεκύκλωσαν, ναι, με περιεκύκλωσαν πανταχόθεν· αλλ' εν τω ονόματι του Κυρίου θέλω κατατροπώσει αυτούς.
12 They swarmed around me like [angry] bees; they were like a fire that blazes strongly, but only briefly, in a thornbush, [but] I defeated them by the power [MTY] that Yahweh gave me.
Με περιεκύκλωσαν ως μέλισσαι· εσβέσθησαν ως πυρ ακανθών· διότι εν τω ονόματι του Κυρίου θέλω κατατροπώσει αυτούς.
13 [My enemies] attacked me fiercely and almost defeated me, but Yahweh helped me.
Με ώθησας δυνατά διά να πέσω· αλλ' ο Κύριος με εβοήθησε.
14 Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one about whom I [always] sing; he has saved me [from my enemies].
Δύναμίς μου και ύμνος είναι ο Κύριος, και έγεινεν εις εμέ σωτηρία.
15 Listen to the joyful songs of victory being sung in the tents of godly/righteous people! They sing, “Yahweh has defeated our enemies by his mighty power [MTY];
Φωνή αγαλλιάσεως και σωτηρίας είναι εν σκηναίς δικαίων· η δεξιά του Κυρίου κάμνει κατορθώματα.
16 he has raised his strong right arm [to show he has defeated his enemies]. Yahweh has completely defeated them!”
Η δεξιά του Κυρίου υψώθη· η δεξιά του Κυρίου κάμνει κατορθώματα.
17 I will not be killed [in battle]; I will live to proclaim the great things that Yahweh has done.
Δεν θέλω αποθάνει αλλά θέλω ζήσει και θέλω διηγείσθαι τα έργα του Κυρίου.
18 Yahweh has punished me severely, but he has not allowed (me to die/[my enemies] to kill me).
Αυστηρώς με επαίδευσεν ο Κύριος, αλλά δεν με παρέδωκεν εις θάνατον.
19 [You gatekeepers], open for me the gates of the temple in order that I may enter and thank Yahweh.
Ανοίξατε εις εμέ τας πύλας της δικαιοσύνης· θέλω εισέλθει εις αυτάς και θέλω δοξολογήσει τον Κύριον.
20 Those are the gates [through which we enter the temple to worship] Yahweh; godly/righteous people enter those gates.
Αύτη είναι η πύλη του Κυρίου· οι δίκαιοι θέλουσιν εισέλθει εις αυτήν.
21 [Yahweh], I thank you that you answered my prayer, and you saved me [from my enemies].
Θέλω σε δοξολογεί, διότι μου επήκουσας και έγεινες εις εμέ σωτηρία.
22 [Yahweh’s promised/chosen king is like] [MET] the stone which the builders rejected [when they were building a house], [but that stone] became the (cornerstone/most important stone in the building).
Ο λίθος, τον οποίον απεδοκίμασαν οι οικοδομούντες, ούτος έγεινε κεφαλή γωνίας·
23 (This was done by Yahweh/Yahweh has done this), and it is a wonderful thing for us to see.
παρά Κυρίου έγεινεν αύτη και είναι θαυμαστή εν οφθαλμοίς ημών.
24 This is the day in which [we remember that] Yahweh acted [powerfully to defeat our enemies]; we will rejoice and be glad/happy today.
Αύτη είναι η ημέρα, την οποίαν έκαμεν ο Κύριος· ας αγαλλιασθώμεν και ας ευφρανθώμεν εν αυτή.
25 Yahweh, we plead with you to [keep] rescuing us [from our enemies]. Yahweh, please help us (accomplish/do well) [what we want to do].
Ω Κύριε, σώσον, δέομαι· ω Κύριε, ευόδωσον, δέομαι.
26 Yahweh, bless the one who will come with your authority [MTY]. And from the temple we (bless/[ask Yahweh to] bless) all of you.
Ευλογημένος ο ερχόμενος εν ονόματι Κυρίου· σας ευλογήσαμεν εκ του οίκου του Κυρίου.
27 Yahweh is God, and he has caused his light to shine on us. Come, carrying [palm] branches, and join the people [who are starting] the festival as they go to the altar.
Ο Θεός είναι ο Κύριος και έδειξε φως εις ημάς· φέρετε την θυσίαν δεδεμένην με σχοινία έως των κεράτων του θυσιαστηρίου.
28 [Yahweh], you are the God whom I [worship], and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will tell [everyone] that you are great!
Συ είσαι ο Θεός μου, και θέλω σε δοξολογεί· ο Θεός μου, θέλω σε υψόνει.
29 Thank Yahweh, because he does good things [for us] He will faithfully love [us] forever.
Δοξολογείτε τον Κύριον, διότι είναι αγαθός, διότι το έλεος αυτού μένει εις τον αιώνα.
