< Ψαλμοί 83 >
1 ᾠδὴ ψαλμοῦ τῷ Ασαφ ὁ θεός τίς ὁμοιωθήσεταί σοι μὴ σιγήσῃς μηδὲ καταπραΰνῃς ὁ θεός
A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐχθροί σου ἤχησαν καὶ οἱ μισοῦντές σε ἦραν κεφαλήν
For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.
3 ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν σου κατεπανουργεύσαντο γνώμην καὶ ἐβουλεύσαντο κατὰ τῶν ἁγίων σου
They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.
4 εἶπαν δεῦτε καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσωμεν αὐτοὺς ἐξ ἔθνους καὶ οὐ μὴ μνησθῇ τὸ ὄνομα Ισραηλ ἔτι
They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'
5 ὅτι ἐβουλεύσαντο ἐν ὁμονοίᾳ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό κατὰ σοῦ διαθήκην διέθεντο
For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;
6 τὰ σκηνώματα τῶν Ιδουμαίων καὶ οἱ Ισμαηλῖται Μωαβ καὶ οἱ Αγαρηνοί
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
7 Γεβαλ καὶ Αμμων καὶ Αμαληκ καὶ ἀλλόφυλοι μετὰ τῶν κατοικούντων Τύρον
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 καὶ γὰρ καὶ Ασσουρ συμπαρεγένετο μετ’ αὐτῶν ἐγενήθησαν εἰς ἀντίλημψιν τοῖς υἱοῖς Λωτ διάψαλμα
Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. (Selah)
9 ποίησον αὐτοῖς ὡς τῇ Μαδιαμ καὶ τῷ Σισαρα ὡς ὁ Ιαβιν ἐν τῷ χειμάρρῳ Κισων
Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;
10 ἐξωλεθρεύθησαν ἐν Αενδωρ ἐγενήθησαν ὡσεὶ κόπρος τῇ γῇ
Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.
11 θοῦ τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτῶν ὡς τὸν Ωρηβ καὶ Ζηβ καὶ Ζεβεε καὶ Σαλμανα πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτῶν
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;
12 οἵτινες εἶπαν κληρονομήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς τὸ ἁγιαστήριον τοῦ θεοῦ
Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'
13 ὁ θεός μου θοῦ αὐτοὺς ὡς τροχόν ὡς καλάμην κατὰ πρόσωπον ἀνέμου
O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.
14 ὡσεὶ πῦρ ὃ διαφλέξει δρυμόν ὡς εἰ φλὸξ κατακαύσαι ὄρη
As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;
15 οὕτως καταδιώξεις αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ καταιγίδι σου καὶ ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ σου ταράξεις αὐτούς
So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.
16 πλήρωσον τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας καὶ ζητήσουσιν τὸ ὄνομά σου κύριε
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O LORD.
17 αἰσχυνθήτωσαν καὶ ταραχθήτωσαν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἐντραπήτωσαν καὶ ἀπολέσθωσαν
Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;
18 καὶ γνώτωσαν ὅτι ὄνομά σοι κύριος σὺ μόνος ὕψιστος ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν
That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.
