< Psalms 89 >
1 Yahweh, I will sing forever about the ways you faithfully love me; people not yet born will hear that you faithfully [do all that you have promised].
«Μασχίλ του Εθάν του Εζραΐτου.» Τα ελέη του Κυρίου εις τον αιώνα θέλω ψάλλει· διά του στόματός μου θέλω αναγγέλλει την αλήθειάν σου εις γενεάν και γενεάν.
2 I will tell people that you will faithfully love us forever, and that your being faithful [to do what you have promised] is as permanent as the sky.
Διότι είπα, το έλεός σου θέλει θεμελιωθή εις τον αιώνα· εν τοις ουρανοίς θέλεις στερεώσει την αλήθειάν σου.
3 Yahweh said, “I have made an agreement with David, whom I chose [to serve me]. I have made this solemn (agreement with/promise to) him:
Έκαμα διαθήκην μετά του εκλεκτού μου· ώμοσα προς Δαβίδ τον δούλον μου·
4 ‘I will enable various ones of your descendants to always be kings; the line of kings descended from you [MTY] will never end.’”
Διαπαντός θέλω στερεώσει το σπέρμα σου, και θέλω οικοδομήσει τον θρόνον σου εις γενεάν και γενεάν. Διάψαλμα.
5 Yahweh, I desire that all [those beings who are in] [MTY] heaven will praise you for the wonderful things that you do, and that all your holy angels will sing about how you faithfully [do what you promise].
Και οι ουρανοί θέλουσιν υμνεί τα θαυμάσιά σου, Κύριε· και η αλήθειά σου θέλει εξυμνείσθαι εν τη συνάξει των αγίων.
6 There is no one [RHQ] in heaven who can be compared with you, Yahweh. There are no angels [RHQ] in heaven who are equal to you.
Διότι τις εν τω ουρανώ δύναται να εξισωθή με τον Κύριον; Τις μεταξύ των υιών των δυνατών δύναται να ομοιωθή με τον Κύριον;
7 When your holy angels gather together, they declare that you must be revered; they say that you are more awesome than all the angels that surround your throne!
Ο Θεός είναι φοβερός σφόδρα εν τη βουλή των αγίων και σεβαστός εν πάσι τοις κύκλω αυτού.
8 O Yahweh, God Almighty, there is no one [RHQ] who is powerful like you are; your faithfully doing [all that you promise] is [like a cloak that] [MET] [always] surrounds you.
Κύριε Θεέ των δυνάμεων, τις όμοιός σου; δυνατός είσαι, Κύριε, και η αλήθειά σου είναι κύκλω σου.
9 You rule over the powerful seas; when their waves rise up, you calm them.
Συ δεσπόζεις την έπαρσιν της θαλάσσης· όταν σηκόνωνται τα κύματα αυτής, συ ταπεινόνεις αυτά.
10 You are the one who crushed [and killed the great sea monster named] Rahab. You [defeated and] scattered your enemies with your great power [MTY].
Συ συνέτριψας την Ραάβ ως τραυματίαν· διά του βραχίονος της δυνάμεώς σου διεσκόρπισας τους εχθρούς σου.
11 The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours; and everything on the earth is yours, because you created it all.
Σού είναι οι ουρανοί και σου η γη την οικουμένην και το πλήρωμα αυτής, συ εθεμελίωσας αυτά.
12 You created [everything from] the north to the south. Tabor [Mountain] and Hermon [Mountain] joyfully praise you [MTY].
Τον βορράν και τον νότον, συ έκτισας αυτούς· Θαβώρ και Αερμών εις το όνομά σου θέλουσιν αγάλλεσθαι.
13 (You/Your arms) are very powerful; (you/your hands) are extremely strong.
Έχεις ισχυρόν τον βραχίονα· κραταιά είναι η χειρ σου· υψηλή η δεξιά σου.
14 (Your rule [MTY] over us is based on/As you rule over us, you are always) treating people fairly and justly, and on/are always faithfully loving us and doing [what you promised].
Η δικαιοσύνη και η κρίσις είναι η βάσις του θρόνου σου· το έλεος και η αλήθεια θέλουσι προπορεύεσθαι έμπροσθεν του προσώπου σου.
15 Yahweh, happy are the people who worship you with joyful shouts, who live knowing that you are always watching over them.
Μακάριος ο λαός ο γινώσκων αλαλαγμόν· θέλουσι περιπατεί, Κύριε, εν τω φωτί του προσώπου σου.
16 Every day, throughout the day, they rejoice in what you [MTY] [have done], and they praise you for being very good [to them].
Εις το όνομά σου θέλουσιν αγάλλεσθαι όλην την ημέραν· και εις την δικαιοσύνην σου θέλουσιν υψωθή.
17 You give us your glorious strength; because you act in our favor, we defeat [MET] [our enemies].
Διότι συ είσαι το καύχημα της δυνάμεως αυτών· και διά της ευμενείας σου θέλει υψωθή το κέρας ημών.
18 Yahweh, you gave us [the one who] protects us [MET]; you, the holy God whom we Israelis worship, chose a king for us.
Διότι ο Κύριος είναι η ασπίς ημών· και ο Άγιος του Ισραήλ ο βασιλεύς ημών.
19 Long ago you spoke in a vision to one of your servants/prophets, saying, “I have helped a famous soldier; I chose him from among all the people to be a king.
Ελάλησας τότε δι' οράματος προς τον όσιόν σου και είπας· έθεσα βοήθειαν επί τον δυνατόν· ύψωσα εκλεκτόν εκ του λαού·
20 That man is David, the one who will serve me [faithfully], and I anointed him with sacred olive oil [to make him king].
Εύρηκα Δαβίδ τον δούλον μου· με το έλαιον το άγιόν μου έχρισα αυτόν·
21 I [MTY] will always strengthen him; with my power [MTY] I will make him strong.
η χειρ μου θέλει στερεόνει αυτόν· και ο βραχίων μου θέλει ενδυναμόνει αυτόν.
22 His enemies will never find ways to defeat him, and wicked people will never defeat him.
δεν θέλει υπερισχύσει εχθρός κατ' αυτού· ουδέ υιός ανομίας θέλει ταλαιπωρήσει αυτόν.
23 I will crush his enemies in front of him and get rid of those who hate him.
Και θέλω κατακόψει απ' έμπροσθεν αυτού τους εχθρούς αυτού· και τους μισούντας αυτόν θέλω κατατροπώσει.
24 I will always be loyal to him and faithfully love him and enable him to defeat [MET] [his enemies].
Η δε αλήθειά μου και το έλεός μου θέλουσιν είσθαι μετ' αυτού· και εν τω ονόματί μου θέλει υψωθή το κέρας αυτού.
25 I will cause (his kingdom/the area that he rules) to include all the land from the [Mediterranean] Sea to the [Euphrates] River.
Και θέλω θέσει την χείρα αυτού επί την θάλασσαν, και επί τους ποταμούς την δεξιάν αυτού.
26 He will say to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the one who protects [MET] and saves me.’
Αυτός θέλει κράξει προς εμέ, Πατήρ μου είσαι, Θεός μου και πέτρα της σωτηρίας μου.
27 I will give him [the rights/privileges that a man’s] firstborn son has [MET]; he will be the greatest king on the earth.
Εγώ βεβαίως θέλω κάμει αυτόν πρωτότοκόν μου, Ύψιστον επί τους βασιλείς της γης.
28 I will always be loyal to him, and my agreement [to bless] him will last forever.
Διαπαντός θέλω φυλάττει εις αυτόν το έλεός μου, και η διαθήκη μου θέλει είσθαι στερεά μετ' αυτού.
29 I will establish a line of his descendants that will never end, various ones of his descendants will always be kings.
Και θέλω κάμει να διαμένη το σπέρμα αυτού εις τον αιώνα, και ο θρόνος αυτού ως αι ημέραι του ουρανού.
30 But, if [some of] his descendants disobey my laws, and do not not behave like my commands say that they should,
Εάν εγκαταλίπωσιν οι υιοί αυτού τον νόμον μου και εις τας κρίσεις μου δεν περιπατήσωσιν·
31 if they disregard my requirements and do not do the right things that I have told them to do,
Εάν παραβώσι τα διατάγματά μου και δεν φυλάξωσι τας εντολάς μου·
32 I will punish them severely [MTY] and cause them to suffer for doing wrong.
Τότε θέλω επισκεφθή με ράβδον τας παραβάσεις αυτών και με πληγάς τας παρανομίας αυτών.
33 But I will not stop faithfully loving [David], and I will always do what I promised him.
Το έλεός μου όμως δεν θέλω αφαιρέσει απ' αυτού, ουδέ θέλω ψευσθή κατά της αληθείας μου.
34 I will not break the agreement that I made with him; I will not change even one word that I spoke [to him].
Δεν θέλω παραβή την διαθήκην μου, ουδέ θέλω αθετήσει ό, τι εξήλθεν εκ των χειλέων μου.
35 Once I made a solemn promise to David, and that will never change, and because I am God, I will never lie to David.
Άπαξ ώμοσα εις την αγιότητά μου, ότι δεν θέλω ψευσθή προς τον Δαβίδ.
36 [I promised that] the line of kings descended from him will go on forever; it will last as long as the sun [shines].
Το σπέρμα αυτού θέλει διαμένει εις τον αιώνα και ο θρόνος αυτού ως ο ήλιος, ενώπιόν μου·
37 That line will (be as permanent/last as long) as the moon that is always watching everything from the sky.
Ως η σελήνη θέλει στερεωθή εις τον αιώνα και μάρτυς πιστός εν τω ουρανώ. Διάψαλμα.
38 But [Yahweh], now you have rejected [DOU] David! You are very angry with the king whom you appointed.
Αλλά συ απέβαλες και εβδελύχθης, ωργίσθης κατά του χριστού σου·
39 [It seems that] you have broken the agreement that you made with your servant, [David]; it seems as though you [have signaled that he is no longer the king by] throwing his crown into the dust/dirt.
ηκύρωσας την διαθήκην του δούλου σου· εβεβήλωσας το διάδημα αυτού έως της γης.
40 You have torn down the walls [that protect] his [city], and allowed all his forts to become ruins.
Κατέβαλες πάντας τους φραγμούς αυτού· ηφάνισας τα οχυρώματα αυτού·
41 All those who pass by plunder/steal his possessions; his neighbors (laugh at/ridicule) him.
διαρπάζουσιν αυτόν πάντες οι διαβαίνοντες την οδόν· κατεστάθη όνειδος εις τους γείτονας αυτού.
42 You have enabled his enemies to defeat him; you have made them all happy.
Ύψωσας την δεξιάν των εναντίων αυτού· εύφρανας πάντας τους εχθρούς αυτού·
43 You have caused his sword to become useless, and you have not helped him in his battles.
ήμβλυνας μάλιστα το κοπτερόν της ρομφαίας αυτού και δεν εστερέωσας αυτόν εν τη μάχη·
44 You have caused his splendor to end (OR, You have taken away his power by knocking his throne to the ground.
Έπαυσας την δόξαν αυτού και τον θρόνον αυτού έρριψας κατά γης.
45 You have caused him to look old when he is still young and caused him to be very shamed/disgraced.
Ωλιγόστευσας τας ημέρας της νεότητος αυτού· ενέδυσας αυτόν με αισχύνην. Διάψαλμα.
46 O Yahweh, how long [will this continue]? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like a fire?
Έως πότε, Κύριε; θέλεις κρύπτεσθαι διαπαντός; θέλει καίεσθαι ως πυρ η οργή σου;
47 Do not forget that life is very short; have you created all us people in vain?
Μνήσθητι πόσον βραχύς είναι ο καιρός μου, εν τίνι ματαιότητι εποίησας πάντας τους υιούς των ανθρώπων.
48 No one can [RHQ] keep on living and never die; (No one can [RHQ] avoid going/Everyone will go) to the place of the dead. (Sheol )
Τις άνθρωπος θέλει ζήσει και δεν θέλει ιδεί θάνατον; τις θέλει λυτρώσει την ψυχήν αυτού εκ της χειρός του άδου; Διάψαλμα. (Sheol )
49 Yahweh, you promised long ago that you would faithfully love us; why are you not doing that? You solemnly promised that to David!
Που είναι τα ελέη σου τα αρχαία, Κύριε, τα οποία ώμοσας προς τον Δαβίδ εν τη αληθεία σου;
50 Yahweh, do not forget that people insult me! (Heathen people/People who do not know you) curse me!
Μνήσθητι, Κύριε, του ονειδισμού των δούλων σου, τον οποίον φέρω εν τω κόλπω μου υπό τοσούτων πολυαρίθμων λαών·
51 Yahweh, your enemies insult your chosen king! They insult/ridicule him wherever he goes.
με τον οποίον ωνείδισαν οι εχθροί σου, Κύριε· με τον οποίον ωνείδισαν τα ίχνη του χριστού σου.
52 I hope/desire that Yahweh will be praised forever! Amen! May it be so!
Ευλογητός Κύριος εις τον αιώνα. Αμήν, και αμήν.
