Psalms 66
1 [Tell] everyone on the earth that they should sing joyfully to praise God!
«Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν. Ωιδή ψαλμού.» Αλαλάξατε εις τον Θεόν, πάσα η γη.
2 They should sing songs that say that God [MTY] is very great, and they should tell everyone that he is very glorious!
Ψάλατε την δόξαν του ονόματος αυτού· κάμετε ένδοξον τον ύμνον αυτού.
3 They should say to God, “The things that you do are awesome! You are very powerful, with the result that your enemies (cringe/bow down) in front of you.”
Είπατε προς τον Θεόν, Πόσον είναι φοβερά τα έργα σου διά το μέγεθος της δυνάμεώς σου, υποκρίνονται υποταγήν εις σε οι εχθροί σου.
4 Everyone on the earth [should] worship God and sing to praise him and honor him [MTY].
Πάσα η γη θέλει σε προσκυνεί και ψαλμωδεί εις σέ· θέλουσι ψαλμωδεί το όνομά σου. Διάψαλμα.
5 Come and think about what God has done! Think about the awesome things that he has done.
Έλθετε και ιδέτε τα έργα του Θεού· είναι φοβερός εις τας πράξεις προς τους υιούς των ανθρώπων.
6 He caused the [Red] Sea to become dry land, [with the result that our] ancestors were able to walk right through it. There we rejoiced because of what he [had done].
Μετέβαλε την θάλασσαν εις ξηράν· πεζοί διέβησαν διά του ποταμού· εκεί ευφράνθημεν εις αυτόν.
7 By his great power he rules forever, and he keeps watching all the nations [to see what things they do], [so] those nations that want to rebel [against him] should not be proud.
Διά της δυνάμεως αυτού δεσπόζει εις τον αιώνα· οι οφθαλμοί αυτού επιβλέπουσιν επί τα έθνη· οι αποστάται ας μη υψόνωσιν εαυτούς. Διάψαλμα.
8 You people [of all nations], praise our God! Praise him loudly in order that people will hear you as you praise him.
Ευλογείτε, λαοί, τον Θεόν ημών, και κάμετε να ακουσθή η φωνή της αινέσεως αυτού·
9 He has kept us alive, and he has not allowed us to (stumble/be defeated).
όστις διαφυλάττει εν ζωή την ψυχήν ημών και δεν αφίνει να κλονίζωνται οι πόδες ημών.
10 God, you have tested us; you have allowed us to experience great difficulties [to make our lives become pure] as [people] put precious metals in a hot fire [to burn out what is impure] [MET].
Διότι συ ηρεύνησας ημάς, Θεέ· εδοκίμασας ημάς, ως δοκιμάζεται το αργύριον.
11 [It is as if] you allowed us to fall into traps [MET], and you [forced us to endure difficult things which were like] putting heavy loads on our backs [MET].
Ενέβαλες ημάς εις το δίκτυον· έθεσας βαρύ φορτίον επί τα νώτα ημών.
12 You allowed [our] enemies to trample on us; we [experienced difficulties/troubles that were like] [MET] walking through fires and floods, but now you have brought us into a place where we have plenty.
Επεβίβασας ανθρώπους επί τας κεφαλάς ημών· διήλθομεν διά πυρός και ύδατος· και εξήγαγες ημάς εις αναψυχήν.
13 [Yahweh], I will bring to your temple offerings that are to be completely burned [on the altar]; I will offer to you what I promised.
Θέλω εισέλθει εις τον οίκόν σου με ολοκαυτώματα· θέλω σοι αποδώσει τας ευχάς μου,
14 When I was experiencing [much] trouble, I said that I would bring offerings to you [if you rescued me]; [and you did rescue me, so] I will bring to you what I promised.
τας οποίας επρόφεραν τα χείλη μου, και ελάλησε το στόμα μου, εν τη θλίψει μου.
15 I will bring sheep to be burned on the altar, and I will [also] sacrifice bulls and goats, and when they are burning, [you will be pleased when] the smoke [rises up] ([to you/to the sky]).
Παχέα ολοκαυτώματα κριών θέλω σοι προσφέρει μετά θυμιάματος· θέλω προσφέρει βόας μετά τράγων. Διάψαλμα.
16 All you [people] who revere God, come and listen, and I will tell you what he has done for me.
Έλθετε, ακούσατε, πάντες οι φοβούμενοι τον Θεόν· και θέλω διηγηθή όσα έκαμεν εις την ψυχήν μου.
17 I called out to him to help me, and I praised him while I was speaking to him [MTY].
Προς αυτόν εβόησα διά του στόματός μου, και υψώθη διά της γλώσσης μου.
18 If I had ignored the sins that I had committed, the Lord would not have paid any attention to me.
Εάν εθεώρουν αδικίαν εν τη καρδία μου, ο Κύριος δεν ήθελεν ακούσει·
19 But because [I confessed my sins], God has listened to me and he paid attention to my prayers.
αλλ' ο Θεός βεβαίως εισήκουσεν· επρόσεξεν εις την φωνήν της προσευχής μου.
20 I praise God because he has not ignored my prayers or stopped faithfully loving me.
Ευλογητός ο Θεός, όστις δεν απεμάκρυνε την προσευχήν μου και το έλεος αυτού απ' εμού.
