Ψαλμοί 106
1 Αλληλούϊα. Αινείτε τον Κύριον, διότι είναι αγαθός· διότι το έλεος αυτού μένει εις τον αιώνα.
Praise the Lord! Thank the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love lasts forever.
2 Τις δύναται να κηρύξη τα κραταιά έργα του Κυρίου, να κάμη ακουστάς πάσας τας αινέσεις αυτού;
Who can give an account of all the wonderful things the Lord has done? Who can give him all the praise he is due?
3 Μακάριοι οι φυλάττοντες κρίσιν, οι πράττοντες δικαιοσύνην εν παντί καιρώ.
Happy are those who treat people fairly, who always do what is right.
4 Μνήσθητί μου, Κύριε, εν τη ευμενεία τη προς τον λαόν σου· επισκέφθητί με εν τη σωτηρία σου·
Please remember me when you are generous to your people; think of me when you come to save.
5 διά να βλέπω το καλόν των εκλεκτών σου, διά να ευφραίνωμαι εν τη ευφροσύνη του έθνους σου, διά να καυχώμαι μετά της κληρονομίας σου.
Let me see your chosen people prosperous; let me be happy together with your nation; let me share in being proud of you with those who belong to you.
6 Ημαρτήσαμεν μετά των πατέρων ημών· ηνομήσαμεν, ησεβήσαμεν.
We have sinned just like our forefathers. We have done wrong. We are guilty.
7 Οι πατέρες ημών εν Αιγύπτω δεν ενόησαν τα θαυμάσιά σου· δεν ενεθυμήθησαν το πλήθος του ελέους σου, και σε παρώργισαν εν τη θαλάσση, εν τη Ερυθρά θαλάσση.
They didn't pay attention to the wonderful things you did. They didn't keep in mind how much you loved them, but chose to rebel at the sea, the Red Sea.
8 Και όμως έσωσεν αυτούς διά το όνομα αυτού, διά να κάμη γνωστά τα κραταιά έργα αυτού.
Even so he saved them because of the kind of person he is, and to show his power
9 Και επετίμησε την Ερυθράν θάλασσαν, και εξηράνθη· και διεβίβασεν αυτούς διά των αβύσσων ως δι' ερήμου·
He gave his order to the Red Sea, and it dried up. He led his people across the seabed as if it were a desert.
10 και έσωσεν αυτούς εκ της χειρός του μισούντος αυτούς, και ελύτρωσεν αυτούς εκ της χειρός του εχθρού.
He rescued them from those who hated them; he saved them from their enemies' power.
11 Και τα ύδατα κατεκάλυψαν τους εχθρούς αυτών· δεν απελείφθη ουδέ εις εξ αυτών.
The water drowned their enemies—none of them survived,
12 Τότε επίστευσαν εις τους λόγους αυτού· έψαλαν την αίνεσιν αυτού.
Then his people trusted in what he promised, and sang his praises.
13 Πλην ταχέως ελησμόνησαν τα έργα αυτού· δεν περιέμειναν την βουλήν αυτού·
But they quickly forgot what he had done for them, and they didn't listen to his advice.
14 Αλλ' επεθύμησαν επιθυμίαν εν τη ερήμω, και επείρασαν τον Θεόν εν τη ανύδρω.
They were filled with desperate cravings in the wilderness; they provoked God in the desert.
15 Και έδωκεν εις αυτούς την αίτησιν αυτών· απέστειλεν όμως εις αυτούς νόσον θανατηφόρον.
He gave them what they wanted, but sent them a plague as well.
16 Εφθόνησαν έτι τον Μωϋσήν εν τω στρατοπέδω και τον Ααρών τον άγιον του Κυρίου.
In the camp the people became jealous of Moses, and of Aaron, the Lord's holy priest.
17 Η γη ήνοιξε και κατέπιε τον Δαθάν, και εσκέπασε την συναγωγήν του Αβειρών·
The earth split open and swallowed up Dathan; it buried Abiram and his followers.
18 και πυρ εξήφθη εν τη συναγωγή αυτών· η φλόξ κατέκαυσε τους ασεβείς.
Fire broke out among them—a flame that burned them up.
19 Κατεσκεύασαν μόσχον εν Χωρήβ, και προσεκύνησαν το χωνευτόν·
At Mount Sinai they made a calf, they bowed down before a metal idol.
20 και μετήλλαξαν την δόξαν αυτών εις ομοίωμα βοός τρώγοντος χόρτον.
They replaced their God of glory with a bull that eats grass!
21 Ελησμόνησαν τον Θεόν τον σωτήρα αυτών τον ποιήσαντα μεγαλεία εν Αιγύπτω,
They forgot God, their Savior, who had done marvelous things in Egypt;
22 θαυμάσια εν γη Χαμ, φοβερά εν τη Ερυθρά θαλάσση.
performing miracles in the land of Ham, doing amazing things at the Red Sea.
23 Και είπε να εξολοθρεύση αυτούς, αν ο Μωϋσής ο εκλεκτός αυτού δεν ίστατο εν τη θραύσει ενώπιον αυτού, διά να αποστρέψη την οργήν αυτού, ώστε να μη αφανίση αυτούς.
So he said he was going to destroy them But Moses, his chosen leader, placed himself between the Lord and the people to persuade the Lord not to destroy them in his anger.
24 Κατεφρόνησαν έτι την γην την επιθυμητήν· δεν επίστευσαν εις τον λόγον αυτού·
Later the people refused to enter the Promised Land; they didn't trust him to do as he'd promised.
25 και εγόγγυσαν εν ταις σκηναίς αυτών· δεν εισήκουσαν της φωνής του Κυρίου.
They complained in their tents about the Lord, and refused to obey what he told them.
26 Διά τούτο εσήκωσε την χείρα αυτού κατ' αυτών, διά να καταστρέψη αυτούς εν τη ερήμω.
So he raised his hand to give them a serious warning that he would bring them down in the wilderness,
27 και να στρέψη το σπέρμα αυτών μεταξύ των εθνών και να διασκορπίση αυτούς εις τους τόπους.
that he would disperse their descendants among the heathen nations, scattering them among countries far away.
28 Και προσεκολλήθησαν εις τον Βέελ-φεγώρ, και έφαγον θυσίας νεκρών·
They gave their allegiance to Baal Peor, and ate food sacrificed to the dead.
29 και παρώξυναν αυτόν εν τοις έργοις αυτών, ώστε εφώρμησεν επ' αυτούς η πληγή.
They provoked the Lord by what they did, making him angry, so a plague broke out among them.
30 Αλλά σταθείς ο Φινεές έκαμε κρίσιν· και η πληγή έπαυσε·
But Phinehas took a stand for the Lord and intervened, and the plague was stopped in its tracks.
31 και ελογίσθη εις αυτόν διά δικαιοσύνην, εις γενεάν και γενεάν έως αιώνος.
He has been considered as a man who lived right from that time on and for all generations.
32 Και παρώξυναν αυτόν εν τοις ύδασι της αντιλογίας, και έπαθε κακώς ο Μωϋσής δι' αυτούς·
They also angered him at the waters of Meribah where things went badly for Moses because of them.
33 διότι παρώργισαν το πνεύμα αυτού, ώστε ελάλησεν αστοχάστως διά των χειλέων αυτού.
They upset him so much that he spoke without thinking in the heat of the moment.
34 Δεν εξωλόθρευσαν τα έθνη τα οποία ο Κύριος προσέταξεν εις αυτούς·
They did not destroy the heathen peoples as the Lord had told them to do,
35 αλλ' εσμίχθησαν μετά των εθνών και έμαθον τα έργα αυτών·
but instead they joined in with them and adopted their way of life.
36 και ελάτρευσαν τα γλυπτά αυτών, τα οποία έγειναν παγίς εις αυτούς·
They worshiped their pagan idols which became a trap for them.
37 και εθυσίασαν τους υιούς αυτών και τας θυγατέρας αυτών εις τα δαιμόνια·
The even sacrificed their sons and daughters to these demons.
38 Και έχυσαν αίμα αθώον, το αίμα των υιών αυτών και των θυγατέρων αυτών τους οποίους εθυσίασαν εις τα γλυπτά της Χαναάν· και εμιάνθη η γη εξ αιμάτων.
They shed the blood of innocent children, their sons and daughters, sacrificing them to the idols of Canaan. By doing so they defiled the land with blood.
39 Και εμολύνθησαν με τα έργα αυτών, και επόρνευσαν με τας πράξεις αυτών.
The also defiled themselves by what they did: their actions were spiritual adultery.
40 Διά τούτο η οργή του Κυρίου εξήφθη κατά του λαού αυτού, και εβδελύχθη την κληρονομίαν αυτού,
So the Lord was angry with his people—he loathed those who belonged to him.
41 Και παρέδωκεν αυτούς εις τας χείρας των εθνών· και εκυρίευσαν αυτούς οι μισούντες αυτούς.
He handed them over to the heathen nations. These people who hated them now became their rulers.
42 Και έθλιψαν αυτούς οι εχθροί αυτών, και εταπεινώθησαν υπό τας χείρας αυτών.
Their enemies dominated and subdued them with their power.
43 Πολλάκις ελύτρωσεν αυτούς, αλλ' αυτοί παρώργισαν αυτόν με τας βουλάς αυτών· διό εταπεινώθησαν διά την ανομίαν αυτών.
The Lord repeatedly rescued them, but they continued with their rebellious ideas, until they were finally destroyed by their own sins.
44 Πλην επέβλεψεν επί την θλίψιν αυτών, ότε ήκουσε την κραυγήν αυτών·
Despite all this, the Lord was moved by their suffering; he heard their sad cries.
45 και ενεθυμήθη την προς αυτούς διαθήκην αυτού και μετεμελήθη κατά το πλήθος του ελέους αυτού.
He remembered the agreement he had made with them, and he held back because of his great kindness and love.
46 Και έκαμεν αυτούς να εύρωσιν έλεος ενώπιον πάντων των αιχμαλωτισάντων αυτούς.
He made the people who captured them treat them with mercy.
47 Σώσον ημάς, Κύριε ο Θεός ημών, και συνάγαγε ημάς από των εθνών, διά να δοξολογώμεν το όνομά σου το άγιον και να καυχώμεθα εις την αίνεσίν σου.
Save us, Lord, our God! Bring us back together from among the nations, so we can thank you and declare how magnificent and holy you are.
48 Ευλογητός Κύριος ο Θεός του Ισραήλ, από του αιώνος και έως του αιώνος· και ας λέγη πας ο λαός, Αμήν. Αλληλούϊα.
How wonderful is the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives forever and ever! Let all the people say “Amen”! Praise the Lord!
