Ψαλμοί 105
1 Δοξολογείτε τον Κύριον· επικαλείσθε το όνομα αυτού· κάμετε γνωστά εν τοις λαοίς τα έργα αυτού.
Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name: make known his deeds among the nations.
2 Ψάλλετε εις αυτόν· ψαλμωδείτε εις αυτόν· λαλείτε περί πάντων των θαυμασίων αυτού.
Sing to him, make music to him, tell of all his wondrous works.
3 Καυχάσθε εις το άγιον αυτού όνομα· ας ευφραίνεται η καρδία των εκζητούντων τον Κύριον.
Make your boast in his holy name, be glad at heart, you who seek the Lord.
4 Ζητείτε τον Κύριον και την δύναμιν αυτού· εκζητείτε το πρόσωπον αυτού διαπαντός.
Seek after the Lord and his strength, seek his face evermore.
5 Μνημονεύετε των θαυμασίων αυτού τα οποία έκαμε· των τεραστίων αυτού και των κρίσεων του στόματος αυτού·
Remember the wonders he did, his portents, the judgments he uttered,
6 Σπέρμα Αβραάμ του δούλου αυτού, υιοί Ιακώβ, οι εκλεκτοί αυτού.
you who are offspring of Abraham, his servant, the children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 Αυτός είναι Κύριος ο Θεός ημών· εν πάση τη γη είναι αι κρίσεις αυτού.
He is the Lord our God: in all the earth are his judgments.
8 Μνημονεύετε πάντοτε της διαθήκης αυτού, του λόγου, τον οποίον προσέταξεν εις χιλίας γενεάς,
He remembers forever his covenant, his promise for a thousand generations
9 της διαθήκης, την οποίαν έκαμε προς τον Αβραάμ, και του όρκου αυτού προς τον Ισαάκ·
The covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac,
10 και εβεβαίωσεν αυτόν προς τον Ιακώβ διά νόμου, προς τον Ισραήλ διά διαθήκην αιώνιον,
and confirmed as a statute to Jacob, a pact everlasting to Israel
11 λέγων, Εις σε θέλω δώσει την γην Χαναάν, μερίδα της κληρονομίας σας.
to give them the land of Canaan as the lot which they should inherit.
12 Ενώ ήσαν αυτοί ολιγοστοί τον αριθμόν, ολίγοι, και πάροικοι εν αυτή,
And when they were very few, few and but pilgrims therein,
13 και διήρχοντο από έθνους εις έθνος, από βασιλείου εις άλλον λαόν,
wandering from nation to nation, journeying from people to people,
14 δεν αφήκεν άνθρωπον να αδικήση αυτούς· μάλιστα υπέρ αυτών ήλεγξε βασιλείς,
he allowed no one to oppress them, even punishing kings for their sakes.
15 λέγων, μη εγγίσητε τους κεχρισμένους μου και μη κακοποιήσητε τους προφήτας μου.
He forbade them to touch his anointed, or do any hurt to his prophets.
16 Και εκάλεσε πείναν επί την γήν· συνέτριψε παν στήριγμα άρτου.
When he called down famine on the land, and cut off the bread which sustained them,
17 Απέστειλεν έμπροσθεν αυτών άνθρωπον, Ιωσήφ τον πωληθέντα ως δούλον·
he sent before them a man, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18 του οποίου τους πόδας έσφιγξαν εν δεσμοίς· έβαλον αυτόν εις τα σίδηρα·
His feet were galled with fetters, he was laid in chains of iron,
19 εωσού έλθη ο λόγος αυτού· ο λόγος του Κυρίου εδοκίμασεν αυτόν.
till the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord that had tried him.
20 Απέστειλεν ο βασιλεύς και έλυσεν αυτόν· ο άρχων των λαών, και ηλευθέρωσεν αυτόν.
The king sent and freed him, the ruler of nations released him.
21 Κατέστησεν αυτόν κύριον του οίκου αυτού, και άρχοντα επί πάντων των κτημάτων αυτού·
He made him lord of his household, and ruler of all his possessions,
22 διά να παιδεύη τους άρχοντας αυτού κατά την αρέσκειαν αυτού, και να διδάξη σοφίαν τους πρεσβυτέρους αυτού.
to admonish his princes at will and instruct his elders in wisdom.
23 Τότε ήλθεν ο Ισραήλ εις την Αίγυπτον, και ο Ιακώβ παρώκησεν εν γη Χαμ.
Thus Israel came into Egypt, Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 Και ο Κύριος ηύξησε σφόδρα τον λαόν αυτού, και εκραταίωσεν αυτόν υπέρ τους εχθρούς αυτού.
His people he made very fruitful, and mightier than their foes.
25 Εστράφη η καρδία αυτών εις το να μισώσι τον λαόν αυτού, εις το να δολιεύωνται εναντίον των δούλων αυτού.
He inspired them to hate his people, and to deal with his servants craftily.
26 Εξαπέστειλε Μωϋσήν τον δούλον αυτού, και Ααρών, τον οποίον εξέλεξεν.
He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron whom he had chosen,
27 Εξετέλεσαν εν μέσω αυτών τους λόγους των σημείων αυτού και τα θαυμάσια αυτού εν γη Χαμ.
portents he wrought in Egypt, and signs in the land of Ham.
28 Εξαπέστειλε σκότος, και εσκότασε· και δεν ηπείθησαν εις τους λόγους αυτού.
Darkness he sent, and it fell: yet they gave no heed to his word.
29 Μετέβαλε τα ύδατα αυτών εις αίμα και εθανάτωσε τους ιχθύας αυτών.
He turned their waters into blood, thus causing their fish to die.
30 Η γη αυτών ανέβρυσε βατράχους, έως των ταμείων των βασιλέων αυτών.
Their land was alive with frogs, swarming even in the royal chambers.
31 Είπε, και ήλθε κυνόμυια, και σκνίπες εις πάντα τα όρια αυτών.
At his command came flies, and lice in all their borders.
32 Έδωκεν εις αυτούς χάλαζαν αντί βροχής, και πυρ φλογερόν εις την γην αυτών·
He gave them hail for rain and fire that flashed through the land,
33 και επάταξε τας αμπέλους αυτών και τας συκέας αυτών, και συνέτριψε τα δένδρα των ορίων αυτών.
smiting their vines and figs, breaking the trees of their border.
34 Είπε, και ήλθεν ακρίς, και βρούχος αναρίθμητος·
At his command came locusts, young locusts beyond all counting,
35 και κατέφαγε πάντα τον χόρτον εν τη γη αυτών, και κατέφαγε τον καρπόν της γης αυτών.
which ate every herb in the land, ate up, too, the fruit of their ground.
36 Και επάταξε παν πρωτότοκον εν τη γη αυτών, την απαρχήν πάσης δυνάμεως αυτών.
He struck down in their land all the firstborn, the firstlings of all their strength
37 Και εξήγαγεν αυτούς μετά αργυρίου και χρυσίου, και δεν υπήρχεν ασθενής εν ταις φυλαίς αυτών.
Then forth he led Israel with silver and gold, and among his tribes no one was weary.
38 Ευφράνθη η Αίγυπτος εις την έξοδον αυτών· διότι ο φόβος αυτών είχεν επιπέσει επ' αυτούς.
Egypt was glad when they left, for terror had fallen upon them.
39 Εξήπλωσε νεφέλην διά να σκεπάζη αυτούς, και πυρ διά να φέγγη την νύκτα.
He spread out a cloud to screen them, and fire to give light in the night.
40 Εζήτησαν, και έφερεν ορτύκια· και άρτον ουρανού εχόρτασεν αυτούς.
He sent quails at their entreaty, and heavenly bread in abundance.
41 Διήνοιξε την πέτραν, και ανέβλυσαν ύδατα, και διέρρευσαν ποταμοί εν τόποις ανύδροις.
He opened the rock; waters gushed: in the desert they ran like a river.
42 Διότι ενεθυμήθη τον λόγον τον άγιον αυτού, τον προς Αβραάμ τον δούλον αυτού.
For he remembered his holy promise to Abraham his servant.
43 Και εξήγαγε τον λαόν αυτού εν αγαλλιάσει, τους εκλεκτούς αυτού εν χαρά·
So he led out his people with joy, his elect with a ringing cry.
44 και έδωκεν εις αυτούς τας γαίας των εθνών, και εκληρονόμησαν τους κόπους των λαών·
And he gave them the lands of the nations, the fruit of their toil for possession,
45 διά να φυλάττωσι τα διατάγματα αυτού, και να εκτελώσι τους νόμους αυτού. Αλληλούϊα.
that so they might keep his statutes, and be of his laws observant. Hallelujah.
