Ψαλμοί 106
1 Αλληλούϊα. Αινείτε τον Κύριον, διότι είναι αγαθός· διότι το έλεος αυτού μένει εις τον αιώνα.
Praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; he faithfully loves [us] forever/continually!
2 Τις δύναται να κηρύξη τα κραταιά έργα του Κυρίου, να κάμη ακουστάς πάσας τας αινέσεις αυτού;
[Because Yahweh has done many great things], no one can [RHQ] tell all the great things that Yahweh has done, and no one can praise him enough/sufficiently.
3 Μακάριοι οι φυλάττοντες κρίσιν, οι πράττοντες δικαιοσύνην εν παντί καιρώ.
(Happy are/He is pleased with) those who act fairly/justly, with those who always do what is right.
4 Μνήσθητί μου, Κύριε, εν τη ευμενεία τη προς τον λαόν σου· επισκέφθητί με εν τη σωτηρία σου·
Yahweh, be kind to me when you help your people; help me when you rescue/save them.
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.
Allow me to see it when your people become prosperous again and when [all the people of] your nation, [Israel], are happy; allow me to be happy with them! I want to praise you along with [all] those [others] who belong to you.
6 Ημαρτήσαμεν μετά των πατέρων ημών· ηνομήσαμεν, ησεβήσαμεν.
We and our ancestors have sinned; we have done things that were very wicked [DOU].
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.
When our ancestors were in Egypt, they did not pay attention to the wonderful things that Yahweh did; they forgot about the many times that he showed that he faithfully loved them. Instead, when they were at the Red Sea, they rebelled against God, who is greater than any other god.
8 Και όμως έσωσεν αυτούς διά το όνομα αυτού, διά να κάμη γνωστά τα κραταιά έργα αυτού.
But he rescued them for the sake of his own [reputation] in order that he could show that he is very powerful.
9 Και επετίμησε την Ερυθράν θάλασσαν, και εξηράνθη· και διεβίβασεν αυτούς διά των αβύσσων ως δι' ερήμου·
He rebuked the Red Sea and it became dry, and [then] while he led our ancestors across it, they walked through it as though it were as dry as a desert [SIM].
10 και έσωσεν αυτούς εκ της χειρός του μισούντος αυτούς, και ελύτρωσεν αυτούς εκ της χειρός του εχθρού.
In that way he rescued them from the power [MTY] of their enemies who hated them [DOU].
11 Και τα ύδατα κατεκάλυψαν τους εχθρούς αυτών· δεν απελείφθη ουδέ εις εξ αυτών.
[Then] their enemies were drowned in the water [of the Red Sea]; not one of them was left.
12 Τότε επίστευσαν εις τους λόγους αυτού· έψαλαν την αίνεσιν αυτού.
When that happened, our ancestors believed [that Yahweh had truly done for them] what he had promised to do, and they sang to praise him.
13 Πλην ταχέως ελησμόνησαν τα έργα αυτού· δεν περιέμειναν την βουλήν αυτού·
But they soon forgot what he had done for them; they [did things] without waiting to find out what Yahweh wanted them to do.
14 Αλλ' επεθύμησαν επιθυμίαν εν τη ερήμω, και επείρασαν τον Θεόν εν τη ανύδρω.
They intensely wanted [food like they formerly ate in Egypt]. They [did evil things to] find out [if they could do those things without God punishing them].
15 Και έδωκεν εις αυτούς την αίτησιν αυτών· απέστειλεν όμως εις αυτούς νόσον θανατηφόρον.
[So] he gave them what they requested, but he [also] caused a terrible disease to afflict them.
16 Εφθόνησαν έτι τον Μωϋσήν εν τω στρατοπέδω και τον Ααρών τον άγιον του Κυρίου.
[Later] when [some of] the men became jealous of Moses and [his older brother] Aaron, who was dedicated [to serve Yahweh by being a priest],
17 Η γη ήνοιξε και κατέπιε τον Δαθάν, και εσκέπασε την συναγωγήν του Αβειρών·
the ground opened up and swallowed Dathan and [also] buried Abiram and his family.
18 και πυρ εξήφθη εν τη συναγωγή αυτών· η φλόξ κατέκαυσε τους ασεβείς.
And [God sent] a fire down [from heaven] which burned up [all] the wicked [people who (supported them/agreed with) them].
19 Κατεσκεύασαν μόσχον εν Χωρήβ, και προσεκύνησαν το χωνευτόν·
Then the [Israeli leaders] made a gold statue at Sinai [Mountain] and worshiped it.
20 και μετήλλαξαν την δόξαν αυτών εις ομοίωμα βοός τρώγοντος χόρτον.
Instead of worshiping [our] glorious God, they [started to] worship a statue of a bull that eats grass!
21 Ελησμόνησαν τον Θεόν τον σωτήρα αυτών τον ποιήσαντα μεγαλεία εν Αιγύπτω,
They forgot about God, who had rescued them by the great miracles that he performed in Egypt.
22 θαυμάσια εν γη Χαμ, φοβερά εν τη Ερυθρά θαλάσση.
They forgot about the wonderful things that he did for them in Egypt and the amazing/awesome things that he did for them 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.
Because of that, God said that he would get rid of the Israelis, but Moses, whom God had chosen [to serve him], pleaded with God [not to get rid of them]. And as a result God did not destroy them.
24 Κατεφρόνησαν έτι την γην την επιθυμητήν· δεν επίστευσαν εις τον λόγον αυτού·
[Later], our ancestors (refused/were afraid) to enter beautiful [Canaan] land because they did not believe [that God would enable them to take the land from the people who were living there, as] he had promised.
25 και εγόγγυσαν εν ταις σκηναίς αυτών· δεν εισήκουσαν της φωνής του Κυρίου.
They stayed in their tents and grumbled and would not pay attention to what Yahweh said that they should do.
26 Διά τούτο εσήκωσε την χείρα αυτού κατ' αυτών, διά να καταστρέψη αυτούς εν τη ερήμω.
So he solemnly [MTY] told them that he would cause them to die [there] in the desert,
27 και να στρέψη το σπέρμα αυτών μεταξύ των εθνών και να διασκορπίση αυτούς εις τους τόπους.
and that he would scatter their descendants among the [people of other] nations/people-groups [who did not believe in him], and that he would allow them to die in those lands.
28 Και προσεκολλήθησαν εις τον Βέελ-φεγώρ, και έφαγον θυσίας νεκρών·
Later the Israeli people [started to] worship [the idol of] Baal [who they thought lived] at Peor [Mountain], and they ate [meat that had been] sacrificed to [Baal and those other] lifeless gods.
29 και παρώξυναν αυτόν εν τοις έργοις αυτών, ώστε εφώρμησεν επ' αυτούς η πληγή.
Yahweh became [very] angry because of what they had done, [so again] he sent a terrible disease to attack/strike them.
30 Αλλά σταθείς ο Φινεές έκαμε κρίσιν· και η πληγή έπαυσε·
But Phinehas stood up and punished/killed [the ones who had sinned greatly], and as a result the (plague/serious disease) ended.
31 και ελογίσθη εις αυτόν διά δικαιοσύνην, εις γενεάν και γενεάν έως αιώνος.
People have remembered that righteous thing that Phinehas did, and in future years people will remember it.
32 Και παρώξυναν αυτόν εν τοις ύδασι της αντιλογίας, και έπαθε κακώς ο Μωϋσής δι' αυτούς·
[Then] at Meribah Springs our ancestors caused Yahweh to become angry, and as a result Moses had trouble.
33 διότι παρώργισαν το πνεύμα αυτού, ώστε ελάλησεν αστοχάστως διά των χειλέων αυτού.
They caused Moses to become very angry [IDM], and he said things that were foolish.
34 Δεν εξωλόθρευσαν τα έθνη τα οποία ο Κύριος προσέταξεν εις αυτούς·
Our ancestors did not destroy the people [who did not believe in Yahweh] like he told them to do.
35 αλλ' εσμίχθησαν μετά των εθνών και έμαθον τα έργα αυτών·
Instead, they mingled with people from those people-groups, and they started to do the evil things that those people did.
36 και ελάτρευσαν τα γλυπτά αυτών, τα οποία έγειναν παγίς εις αυτούς·
Our ancestors worshiped the idols of those people, which resulted in their being destroyed/exiled/taken to another country [MET].
37 και εθυσίασαν τους υιούς αυτών και τας θυγατέρας αυτών εις τα δαιμόνια·
[Some of] the Israelis sacrificed their sons and daughters to the demons [that those idols represented].
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 killed [MTY] their own children, who (were innocent/had not done things that were wrong), and offered them as sacrifices to the idols in Canaan. [As a result], Canaan land was polluted by those murders [MTY].
39 Και εμολύνθησαν με τα έργα αυτών, και επόρνευσαν με τας πράξεις αυτών.
So by their deeds they caused themselves to become unacceptable to God; [because they did not faithfully worship only God], [they became like] women who sleep with other men [instead of sleeping only with their husbands] [MET].
40 Διά τούτο η οργή του Κυρίου εξήφθη κατά του λαού αυτού, και εβδελύχθη την κληρονομίαν αυτού,
So Yahweh became very angry with his people; he was completely disgusted with them.
41 Και παρέδωκεν αυτούς εις τας χείρας των εθνών· και εκυρίευσαν αυτούς οι μισούντες αυτούς.
[As a result] he allowed people-groups [who did not believe in him] to conquer them, so those who hated our ancestors started to rule over them.
42 Και έθλιψαν αυτούς οι εχθροί αυτών, και εταπεινώθησαν υπό τας χείρας αυτών.
Their enemies (oppressed them/treated them cruelly) and completely controlled them [MET].
43 Πολλάκις ελύτρωσεν αυτούς, αλλ' αυτοί παρώργισαν αυτόν με τας βουλάς αυτών· διό εταπεινώθησαν διά την ανομίαν αυτών.
Many times Yahweh rescued them, but they continued to rebel against him, and they were finally destroyed because of the sins that they committed.
44 Πλην επέβλεψεν επί την θλίψιν αυτών, ότε ήκουσε την κραυγήν αυτών·
However, Yahweh [always] heard them when they cried out to him; he listened to them when they were distressed.
45 και ενεθυμήθη την προς αυτούς διαθήκην αυτού και μετεμελήθη κατά το πλήθος του ελέους αυτού.
For their sake, he thought about the agreement/promise that he had made [to bless] them, and because he never stopped loving them very much, he changed his mind [about punishing them more].
46 Και έκαμεν αυτούς να εύρωσιν έλεος ενώπιον πάντων των αιχμαλωτισάντων αυτούς.
He caused all those who had taken the Israelis [to Babylonia] to (feel sorry for/pity) them.
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.
Yahweh our God, rescue/save us and bring us back [to Israel] from among those people-groups in order that we may thank you [MTY] and joyfully praise you.
48 Ευλογητός Κύριος ο Θεός του Ισραήλ, από του αιώνος και έως του αιώνος· και ας λέγη πας ο λαός, Αμήν. Αλληλούϊα.
Praise Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], praise him now and forever! And I want everyone to say, “Amen/May it be so!” Praise Yahweh!
