< Ψαλμοί 106 >
1 Αλληλούϊα. Αινείτε τον Κύριον, διότι είναι αγαθός· διότι το έλεος αυτού μένει εις τον αιώνα.
Hallelujah. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.
2 Τις δύναται να κηρύξη τα κραταιά έργα του Κυρίου, να κάμη ακουστάς πάσας τας αινέσεις αυτού;
Who can express the mighty acts of the LORD, or make all His praise to be heard?
3 Μακάριοι οι φυλάττοντες κρίσιν, οι πράττοντες δικαιοσύνην εν παντί καιρώ.
Happy are they that keep justice, that do righteousness at all times.
4 Μνήσθητί μου, Κύριε, εν τη ευμενεία τη προς τον λαόν σου· επισκέφθητί με εν τη σωτηρία σου·
Remember me, O LORD, when Thou favourest Thy people; O think of me at Thy salvation;
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.
That I may behold the prosperity of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance.
6 Ημαρτήσαμεν μετά των πατέρων ημών· ηνομήσαμεν, ησεβήσαμεν.
We have sinned with our fathers, we have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.
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.
Our fathers in Egypt gave no heed unto Thy wonders; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8 Και όμως έσωσεν αυτούς διά το όνομα αυτού, διά να κάμη γνωστά τα κραταιά έργα αυτού.
Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.
9 Και επετίμησε την Ερυθράν θάλασσαν, και εξηράνθη· και διεβίβασεν αυτούς διά των αβύσσων ως δι' ερήμου·
And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
10 και έσωσεν αυτούς εκ της χειρός του μισούντος αυτούς, και ελύτρωσεν αυτούς εκ της χειρός του εχθρού.
And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 Και τα ύδατα κατεκάλυψαν τους εχθρούς αυτών· δεν απελείφθη ουδέ εις εξ αυτών.
And the waters covered their adversaries; there was not one of them left.
12 Τότε επίστευσαν εις τους λόγους αυτού· έψαλαν την αίνεσιν αυτού.
Then believed they His words; they sang His praise.
13 Πλην ταχέως ελησμόνησαν τα έργα αυτού· δεν περιέμειναν την βουλήν αυτού·
They soon forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel;
14 Αλλ' επεθύμησαν επιθυμίαν εν τη ερήμω, και επείρασαν τον Θεόν εν τη ανύδρω.
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tried God in the desert.
15 Και έδωκεν εις αυτούς την αίτησιν αυτών· απέστειλεν όμως εις αυτούς νόσον θανατηφόρον.
And He gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
16 Εφθόνησαν έτι τον Μωϋσήν εν τω στρατοπέδω και τον Ααρών τον άγιον του Κυρίου.
They were jealous also of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron the holy one of the LORD.
17 Η γη ήνοιξε και κατέπιε τον Δαθάν, και εσκέπασε την συναγωγήν του Αβειρών·
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18 και πυρ εξήφθη εν τη συναγωγή αυτών· η φλόξ κατέκαυσε τους ασεβείς.
And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19 Κατεσκεύασαν μόσχον εν Χωρήβ, και προσεκύνησαν το χωνευτόν·
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped a molten image.
20 και μετήλλαξαν την δόξαν αυτών εις ομοίωμα βοός τρώγοντος χόρτον.
Thus they exchanged their glory for the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.
21 Ελησμόνησαν τον Θεόν τον σωτήρα αυτών τον ποιήσαντα μεγαλεία εν Αιγύπτω,
They forgot God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;
22 θαυμάσια εν γη Χαμ, φοβερά εν τη Ερυθρά θαλάσση.
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by 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.
Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, to turn back His wrath, lest He should destroy them.
24 Κατεφρόνησαν έτι την γην την επιθυμητήν· δεν επίστευσαν εις τον λόγον αυτού·
Moreover, they scorned the desirable land, they believed not His word;
25 και εγόγγυσαν εν ταις σκηναίς αυτών· δεν εισήκουσαν της φωνής του Κυρίου.
And they murmured in their tents, they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
26 Διά τούτο εσήκωσε την χείρα αυτού κατ' αυτών, διά να καταστρέψη αυτούς εν τη ερήμω.
Therefore He swore concerning them, that He would overthrow them in the wilderness;
27 και να στρέψη το σπέρμα αυτών μεταξύ των εθνών και να διασκορπίση αυτούς εις τους τόπους.
And that He would cast out their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
28 Και προσεκολλήθησαν εις τον Βέελ-φεγώρ, και έφαγον θυσίας νεκρών·
They joined themselves also unto Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 και παρώξυναν αυτόν εν τοις έργοις αυτών, ώστε εφώρμησεν επ' αυτούς η πληγή.
Thus they provoked Him with their doings, and the plague broke in upon them.
30 Αλλά σταθείς ο Φινεές έκαμε κρίσιν· και η πληγή έπαυσε·
Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment, and so the plague was stayed.
31 και ελογίσθη εις αυτόν διά δικαιοσύνην, εις γενεάν και γενεάν έως αιώνος.
And that was counted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations for ever.
32 Και παρώξυναν αυτόν εν τοις ύδασι της αντιλογίας, και έπαθε κακώς ο Μωϋσής δι' αυτούς·
They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses because of them;
33 διότι παρώργισαν το πνεύμα αυτού, ώστε ελάλησεν αστοχάστως διά των χειλέων αυτού.
For they embittered his spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips.
34 Δεν εξωλόθρευσαν τα έθνη τα οποία ο Κύριος προσέταξεν εις αυτούς·
They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them;
35 αλλ' εσμίχθησαν μετά των εθνών και έμαθον τα έργα αυτών·
But mingled themselves with the nations, and learned their works;
36 και ελάτρευσαν τα γλυπτά αυτών, τα οποία έγειναν παγίς εις αυτούς·
And they served their idols, which became a snare unto them;
37 και εθυσίασαν τους υιούς αυτών και τας θυγατέρας αυτών εις τα δαιμόνια·
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto 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.
And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Και εμολύνθησαν με τα έργα αυτών, και επόρνευσαν με τας πράξεις αυτών.
Thus were they defiled with their works, and went astray in their doings.
40 Διά τούτο η οργή του Κυρίου εξήφθη κατά του λαού αυτού, και εβδελύχθη την κληρονομίαν αυτού,
Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people, and He abhorred His inheritance.
41 Και παρέδωκεν αυτούς εις τας χείρας των εθνών· και εκυρίευσαν αυτούς οι μισούντες αυτούς.
And He gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42 Και έθλιψαν αυτούς οι εχθροί αυτών, και εταπεινώθησαν υπό τας χείρας αυτών.
Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were subdued under their hand.
43 Πολλάκις ελύτρωσεν αυτούς, αλλ' αυτοί παρώργισαν αυτόν με τας βουλάς αυτών· διό εταπεινώθησαν διά την ανομίαν αυτών.
Many times did He deliver them; but they were rebellious in their counsel, and sank low through their iniquity.
44 Πλην επέβλεψεν επί την θλίψιν αυτών, ότε ήκουσε την κραυγήν αυτών·
Nevertheless He looked upon their distress, when He heard their cry;
45 και ενεθυμήθη την προς αυτούς διαθήκην αυτού και μετεμελήθη κατά το πλήθος του ελέους αυτού.
And He remembered for them His covenant, and repented according to the multitude of His mercies.
46 Και έκαμεν αυτούς να εύρωσιν έλεος ενώπιον πάντων των αιχμαλωτισάντων αυτούς.
He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captive.
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, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, that we may triumph in Thy praise.
48 Ευλογητός Κύριος ο Θεός του Ισραήλ, από του αιώνος και έως του αιώνος· και ας λέγη πας ο λαός, Αμήν. Αλληλούϊα.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting, and let all the people say: 'Amen.' Hallelujah.
