Psalms 69
1 O God, save me, because [I am in great danger]. [It is as though] flood water is up to my neck, [and I am about to drown] [MET].
«Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν, υπό Σοσανίμ. Ψαλμός του Δαβίδ.» Σώσόν με, Θεέ, διότι εισήλθον ύδατα έως ψυχής μου.
2 I continue to sink in the deep mud, and there is no solid ground for me to stand on. I am in deep water, and flood waters are swirling around me.
Εβυθίσθην εις βαθύν πηλόν, όπου δεν είναι τόπος στερεός διά να σταθώ· έφθασα εις τα βάθη των υδάτων, και το ρεύμα με κατακλύζει.
3 I am exhausted from calling out [for help]; my throat is very dry. Because I have cried so much as I have waited for God [to help me], my eyes are swollen.
Ητόνησα κράζων· ο λάρυγξ μου εξηράνθη· απέκαμον οι οφθαλμοί μου από του να περιμένω τον Θεόν μου.
4 Those who hate me when there is no reason to hate me are more than the number of hairs on my head [HYP]! Those who want to get rid of me are strong, and they tell lies about me. They demand that I return to them things that I did not steal!
Οι μισούντές με αναιτίως επληθύνθησαν υπέρ τας τρίχας της κεφαλής μου· εκραταιώθησαν οι εχθροί μου οι προσπαθούντες να με αφανίσωσιν αδίκως. Τότε εγώ επέστρεψα ό, τι δεν ήρπασα.
5 O God, (you see the sins that I have committed/my sins are not hidden from you). You know that I have foolishly [disobeyed your laws].
Θεέ, συ γνωρίζεις την αφροσύνην μου· και τα πλημμελήματά μου δεν είναι κεκρυμμένα από σου.
6 O Yahweh God, [you who are the commander] of the armies [of heaven], do not allow the [wrong things that] I [have done] to cause those who trust in you to be disappointed/disillusioned. O God, you whom [we] Israeli people [worship], do not allow me to cause your people to be humiliated.
Ας μη αισχυνθώσιν εξ αιτίας μου, Κύριε Θεέ των δυνάμεων, οι προσμένοντές σε· ας μη εντραπώσι δι' εμέ οι εκζητούντές σε, Θεέ του Ισραήλ.
7 People have insulted/ridiculed me because [I am devoted to] you. They have thoroughly humiliated [IDM] me.
Διότι ένεκα σου υπέφερα ονειδισμόν· αισχύνη εκάλυψε το πρόσωπόν μου.
8 Even my own [older] brothers act as if they do not know me; they treat me like a foreigner.
Ξένος έγεινα εις τους αδελφούς μου, και αλλογενής εις τους υιούς της μητρός μου·
9 [Some people have despised your temple]; but my zeal for [keeping] your temple [holy] is like a fire burning inside me. So [it is as though] those who are insulting you are also insulting me.
Διότι ο ζήλος του οίκου σου με κατέφαγε· και οι ονειδισμοί των ονειδιζόντων σε επέπεσον επ εμέ.
10 When I have humbled myself and (fasted/abstained from eating food) [to show my sadness about the disgraceful things that they have done to your temple], they just insult me.
Και έκλαυσα ταλαιπωρών εν νηστεία την ψυχήν μου, αλλά τούτο έγεινεν εις όνειδός μου.
11 When I put on [rough] sackcloth [to show that I am sad], they laugh at [IDM] me.
Και έκαμα τον σάκκον ένδυμά μου και έγεινα εις αυτούς παροιμία.
12 Even the elders [of the city] say bad things about me. The drunkards of the city sing [disgusting] songs about me.
Κατ' εμού λαλούσιν οι καθήμενοι εν ταις πύλαις, και έγεινα άσμα των μεθυόντων.
13 But Yahweh, I will [continue] praying to you. At the time that you choose, answer me and rescue me because you faithfully love me.
Εγώ δε προς σε κατευθύνω την προσευχήν μου, Κύριε· καιρός ευμενείας είναι· Θεέ, κατά το πλήθος του ελέους σου, επάκουσόν μου, κατά την αλήθειαν της σωτηρίας σου.
14 Do not allow me to sink any more in the mud. Rescue me from those who hate me! Lift me up out of these deep waters!
Ελευθέρωσόν με από του πηλού, διά να μη βυθισθώ· ας ελευθερωθώ εκ των μισούντων με και εκ των βαθέων των υδάτων.
15 Do not allow flood waters to swirl around me, do not allow the deep [mud] to swallow me; keep me from sinking into the pit [of death] [MET].
Ας μη με κατακλύση το ρεύμα των υδάτων, μηδέ ας με καταπίη ο βυθός· και το φρέαρ ας μη κλείση το στόμα αυτού επ' εμέ.
16 O Yahweh, answer my prayer and help me because you are good and love me faithfully.
Εισάκουσόν μου, Κύριε, διότι αγαθόν είναι το έλεός σου· κατά το πλήθος των οικτιρμών σου επίβλεψον επ' εμέ.
17 Do not (hide yourself from/refuse to hear) me; answer me quickly because I am in great trouble.
Και μη κρύψης το πρόσωπόν σου από του δούλου σου· επειδή θλίβομαι, ταχέως επάκουσόν μου.
18 Come near to me and save me; rescue me from my enemies.
Πλησίασον εις την ψυχήν μου· λύτρωσον αυτήν· ένεκα των εχθρών μου λύτρωσόν με.
19 You know that I am insulted and that [people cause] me [to feel] ashamed and dishonored; you know [who] all my enemies [are].
Συ γνωρίζεις τον ονειδισμόν μου και την αισχύνην μου και την εντροπήν μου· ενώπιόν σου είναι πάντες οι θλίβοντές με.
20 [Their] insults have deeply offended me, and I (feel helpless/am in despair). I searched for [someone who would] pity [me], but there was no one. I wanted someone to encourage/comfort me, but there were none.
Ονειδισμός συνέτριψε την καρδίαν μου· και είμαι περίλυπος· περιέμεινα δε συλλυπούμενον, αλλά δεν υπήρξε, και παρηγορητάς, αλλά δεν εύρηκα.
21 [Instead], they gave me food [that tasted like] poison, and when I was thirsty, they gave me sour wine to drink.
Και έδωκαν εις εμέ χολήν διά φαγητόν μου, και εις την δίψαν μου με επότισαν όξος.
22 I hope/desire that the feasts [MTY] [that they enjoy] will (become a snare for/bring trouble to) them, and that [those whom they invite to] the sacrificial feasts will also be trapped.
Ας γείνη η τράπεζα αυτών έμπροσθεν αυτών εις παγίδα και εις ανταπόδοσιν και εις βρόχον.
23 I hope/desire that their eyesight will become dim so that they cannot see anything, and that their backs/bodies will become weaker and weaker.
Ας σκοτισθώσιν οι οφθαλμοί αυτών διά να μη βλέπωσι· και την ράχιν αυτών διαπαντός κύρτωσον.
24 Show them that you are very angry with them! Because of your great/furious anger, chase after them and catch them.
Έκχεε επ' αυτούς την οργήν σου· και ο θυμός της αγανακτήσεώς σου ας συλλάβη αυτούς.
25 Cause their towns to become abandoned/deserted and that there will be no one left to live in their tents/houses.
Ας γείνωσιν έρημα τα παλάτια αυτών· εν ταις σκηναίς αυτών ας μη ήναι ο κατοικών.
26 [Do this] because they persecute those whom you have punished, (they talk about the sins of/they want to hurt even more) those whom you have wounded.
Διότι εκείνον, τον οποίον συ επάταξας, αυτοί κατεδίωξαν· και λαλούσι περί του πόνου εκείνων, τους οποίους επλήγωσας.
27 Keep making a record of all their sins, do not acquit/pardon them [for the evil things that they have done].
Πρόσθες ανομίαν επί την ανομίαν αυτών, και ας μη εισέλθωσιν εις την δικαιοσύνην σου.
28 Erase their names [SYN] from the book [containing the names of those who have eternal] life; do not include them in the list of righteous people.
Ας εξαλειφθώσιν εκ βίβλου ζώντων και μετά των δικαίων ας μη καταγραφθώσιν.
29 As for me, I have pain and am suffering. O God, protect me and rescue me.
Εμέ δε, τον πτωχόν και λελυπημένον, η σωτηρία σου, Θεέ, ας με υψώση.
30 When God does that, I will sing as I praise God, and I will honor him by thanking him.
Θέλω αινέσει το όνομα του Θεού εν ωδή και θέλω μεγαλύνει αυτόν εν ύμνοις.
31 My doing that will please Yahweh more than [sacrificing] oxen, more than offering him full-grown bulls.
Τούτο βεβαίως θέλει αρέσει εις τον Κύριον, υπέρ μόσχον νέον έχοντα κέρατα και οπλάς.
32 Oppressed/Afflicted people will see [that God has rescued me], and they will be glad. I want all of you who ask God [to help you] to be encouraged.
Οι ταπεινοί θέλουσιν ιδεί· θέλουσι ευφρανθή· και η καρδία υμών των εκζητούντων τον Θεόν θέλει ζήσει.
33 Yahweh listens to those who are needy; He does not ignore/forget those who are oppressed/imprisoned.
Διότι εισακούει των πενήτων ο Κύριος και τους δεσμίους αυτού δεν καταφρονεί.
34 I desire that everything will praise God— everything that is in heaven and on earth, and all the creatures that are in the seas.
Ας αινέσωσιν αυτόν οι ουρανοί και η γη, αι θάλασσαι και πάντα τα κινούμενα εν αυταίς.
35 God will rescue the people of Jerusalem [from their enemies], and he will rebuild the towns that are in Judah. His people will live there and [again] possess the land.
Διότι ο Θεός θέλει σώσει την Σιών, και θέλει οικοδομήσει τας πόλεις του Ιούδα· και θέλουσι κατοικήσει εκεί και θέλουσι κληρονομήσει αυτήν.
36 The descendants of his people will inherit it, and those who love him will live there [safely].
Και το σπέρμα των δούλων αυτού θέλει κληρονομήσει αυτήν, και οι αγαπώντες το όνομα αυτού θέλουσι κατοικεί εν αυτή.
