Old Testament
1 A Contemplation of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
1 ΠΡΟΣΕΧΕΤΕ, λαός μου, τῷ νόμῳ μου, κλίνατε τὸ οὖς ὑμῶν εἰς τὰ ρήματα τοῦ στόματός μου·
2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,
2 ἀνοίξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὸ στόμα μου, φθέγξομαι προβλήματα ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς.
3 Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.
3 ὅσα ἠκούσαμεν καὶ ἔγνωμεν αὐτὰ καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν διηγήσαντο ἡμῖν,
4 We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.
4 οὐκ ἐκρύβη ἀπὸ τῶν τέκνων αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰν ἑτέραν, ἀπαγγέλλοντες τὰς αἰνέσεις Κυρίου καὶ τὰς δυναστείας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ, ἃ ἐποίησε.
5 For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;
5 καὶ ἀνέστησε μαρτύριον ἐν Ἰακὼβ καὶ νόμον ἔθετο ἐν Ἰσραήλ, ὅσα ἐνετείλατο τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν τοῦ γνωρίσαι αὐτὰ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν,
6 That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born, That they may arise and declare them to their children,
6 ὅπως ἂν γνῷ γενεὰ ἑτέρα, υἱοὶ οἱ τεχθησόμενοι, καὶ ἀναστήσονται καὶ ἀπαγγελοῦσιν αὐτὰ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν·
7 That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments;
7 ἵνα θῶνται ἐπὶ τὸν Θεὸν τὴν ἐλπίδα αὐτῶν καὶ μὴ ἐπιλάθωνται τῶν ἔργων τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ ἐκζητήσωσιν·
8 And may not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not set its heart aright, And whose spirit was not faithful to God.
8 ἵνα μὴ γένωνται ὡς οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν, γενεὰ σκολιὰ καὶ παραπικραίνουσα, γενεά, ἥτις οὐ κατηύθυνε τὴν καρδίαν ἑαυτῆς καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστώθη μετὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῆς.
9 The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.
9 υἱοὶ Ἐφραὶμ ἐντείνοντες καὶ βάλλοντες τόξοις ἐστράφησαν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πολέμου.
10 They did not keep the covenant of God; They refused to walk in His law,
10 οὐκ ἐφύλαξαν τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἠβουλήθησαν πορεύεσθαι.
11 And forgot His works And His wonders that He had shown them.
11 καὶ ἐπελάθοντο τῶν εὐεργεσιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν θαυμασίων αὐτοῦ, ὧν ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς,
12 Marvelous things He did in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
12 ἐναντίον τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν ἃ ἐποίησε θαυμάσια ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, ἐν πεδίῳ Τάνεως.
13 He divided the sea and caused them to pass through; And He made the waters stand up like a heap.
13 διέρρηξε θάλασσαν καὶ διήγαγεν αὐτούς, παρέστησεν ὕδατα ὡσεὶ ἀσκὸν
14 In the daytime also He led them with the cloud, And all the night with a light of fire.
14 καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν νεφέλῃ ἡμέρας καὶ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα ἐν φωτισμῷ πυρός.
15 He split the rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink in abundance like the depths.
15 διέρρηξε πέτραν ἐν ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἐπότισεν αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐν ἀβύσσῳ πολλῇ
16 He also brought streams out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.
16 καὶ ἐξήγαγεν ὕδωρ ἐκ πέτρας καὶ κατήγαγεν ὡς ποταμοὺς ὕδατα.
17 But they sinned even more against Him By rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.
17 καὶ προσέθεντο ἔτι τοῦ ἁμαρτάνειν αὐτῷ, παρεπίκραναν τὸν ¨Υψιστον ἐν ἀνύδρῳ
18 And they tested God in their heart By asking for the food of their fancy.
18 καὶ ἐξεπείρασαν τὸν Θεὸν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν, τοῦ αἰτῆσαι βρώματα ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν
19 Yes, they spoke against God: They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
19 καὶ κατελάλησαν τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ εἶπαν· μὴ δυνήσεται ὁ Θεὸς ἑτοιμάσαι τράπεζαν ἐν ἐρήμῳ;
20 Behold, He struck the rock, So that the waters gushed out, And the streams overflowed. Can He give bread also? Can He provide meat for His people?”
20 ἐπεὶ ἐπάταξε πέτραν καὶ ἐρρύησαν ὕδατα καὶ χείμαρροι κατεκλύσθησαν, μὴ καὶ ἄρτον δύναται δοῦναι ἢ ἑτοιμάσαι τράπεζαν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ;
21 Therefore the LORD heard this and was furious; So a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also came up against Israel,
21 διὰ τοῦτο ἤκουσε Κύριος καὶ ἀνεβάλετο, καὶ πῦρ ἀνήφθη ἐν Ἰακώβ, καὶ ὀργὴ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ,
22 Because they did not believe in God, And did not trust in His salvation.
22 ὅτι οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν ἐν τῷ Θεῷ οὐδὲ ἤλπισαν ἐπὶ τὸ σωτήριον αὐτοῦ.
23 Yet He had commanded the clouds above, And opened the doors of heaven,
23 καὶ ἐνετείλατο νεφέλαις ὑπεράνωθεν καὶ θύρας οὐρανοῦ ἀνέῳξε
24 Had rained down manna on them to eat, And given them of the bread of heaven.
24 καὶ ἔβρεξεν αὐτοῖς μάννα φαγεῖν καὶ ἄρτον οὐρανοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς·
25 Men ate angels’ food; He sent them food to the full.
25 ἄρτον ἀγγέλων ἔφαγεν ἄνθρωπος, ἐπισιτισμὸν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοῖς εἰς πλησμονήν.
26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heavens; And by His power He brought in the south wind.
26 ἀπῇρε Νότον ἐξ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἐπήγαγεν ἐν τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ Λίβα
27 He also rained meat on them like the dust, Feathered fowl like the sand of the seas;
27 καὶ ἔβρεξεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς ὡσεὶ χοῦν σάρκας καὶ ὡσεὶ ἄμμον θαλασσῶν πετεινὰ πτερωτά,
28 And He let them fall in the midst of their camp, All around their dwellings.
28 καὶ ἐπέπεσον ἐν μέσῳ παρεμβολῆς αὐτῶν κύκλῳ τῶν σκηνωμάτων αὐτῶν,
29 So they ate and were well filled, For He gave them their own desire.
29 καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἐνεπλήσθησαν σφόδρα, καὶ τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν αὐτῶν ἤνεγκεν αὐτοῖς,
30 They were not deprived of their craving; But while their food was still in their mouths,
30 οὐκ ἐστερήθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιθυμίας αὐτῶν. ἔτι τῆς βρώσεως οὔσης ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν,
31 The wrath of God came against them, And slew the stoutest of them, And struck down the choice men of Israel.
31 καὶ ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀνέβη ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν ἐν τοῖς πλείοσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ συνεπόδισεν.
32 In spite of this they still sinned, And did not believe in His wondrous works.
32 ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις ἥμαρτον ἔτι καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν ἐν τοῖς θαυμασίοις αὐτοῦ,
33 Therefore their days He consumed in futility, And their years in fear.
33 καὶ ἐξέλιπον ἐν ματαιότητι αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἔτη αὐτῶν μετὰ σπουδῆς.
34 When He slew them, then they sought Him; And they returned and sought earnestly for God.
34 ὅταν ἀπέκτειναν αὐτούς, τότε ἐξεζήτουν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπέστρεφον καὶ ὤρθριζον πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν
35 Then they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their Redeemer.
35 καὶ ἐμνήσθησαν ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς βοηθὸς αὐτῶν ἐστι καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ¨Υψιστος λυτρωτὴς αὐτῶν ἐστι.
36 Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouth, And they lied to Him with their tongue;
36 καὶ ἠγάπησαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν καὶ τῇ γλώσσῃ αὐτῶν ἐψεύσαντο αὐτῷ,
37 For their heart was not steadfast with Him, Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
37 ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν οὐκ εὐθεῖα μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ ἐπιστώθησαν ἐν τῇ διαθήκῃ αὐτοῦ.
38 But He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, And did not destroy them. Yes, many a time He turned His anger away, And did not stir up all His wrath;
38 αὐτὸς δέ ἐστιν οἰκτίρμων καὶ ἱλάσκεται ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ διαφθερεῖ καὶ πληθυνεῖ τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν θυμὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐχὶ ἐκκαύσει πᾶσαν τὴν ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ.
39 For He remembered that they were but flesh, A breath that passes away and does not come again.
39 καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὅτι σάρξ εἰσι, πνεῦμα πορευόμενον καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστρέφον.
40 How often they provoked Him in the wilderness, And grieved Him in the desert!
40 ποσάκις παρεπίκραναν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, παρώργισαν αὐτὸν ἐν γῇ ἀνύδρῳ;
41 Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel.
41 καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν καὶ ἐπείρασαν τὸν Θεὸν καὶ τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ παρώξυναν.
42 They did not remember His power: The day when He redeemed them from the enemy,
42 καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθησαν τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἡμέρας, ἧς ἐλυτρώσατο αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς θλίβοντος,
43 When He worked His signs in Egypt, And His wonders in the field of Zoan;
43 ὡς ἔθετο ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ τὰ σημεῖα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ τέρατα αὐτοῦ ἐν πεδίῳ Τάνεως.
44 Turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, that they could not drink.
44 καὶ μετέστρεψεν εἰς αἷμα τοὺς ποταμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ὀμβρήματα αὐτῶν, ὅπως μὴ πίωσιν·
45 He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them, And frogs, which destroyed them.
45 ἐξαπέστειλεν εἰς αὐτοὺς κυνόμυιαν, καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτούς, καὶ βάτραχον, καὶ διέφθειρεν αὐτούς·
46 He also gave their crops to the caterpillar, And their labor to the locust.
46 καὶ ἔδωκε τῇ ἐρυσίβῃ τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς πόνους αὐτῶν τῇ ἀκρίδι·
47 He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycamore trees with frost.
47 ἀπέκτεινεν ἐν χαλάζῃ τὴν ἄμπελον αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς συκαμίνους αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ πάχνῃ·
48 He also gave up their cattle to the hail, And their flocks to fiery lightning.
48 καὶ παρέδωκεν εἰς χάλαζαν τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν ὕπαρξιν αὐτῶν τῷ πυρί·
49 He cast on them the fierceness of His anger, Wrath, indignation, and trouble, By sending angels of destruction among them.
49 ἐξαπέστειλεν εἰς αὐτοὺς ὀργὴν θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ, θυμὸν καὶ ὀργὴν καὶ θλῖψιν, ἀποστολὴν δι᾿ ἀγγέλων πονηρῶν.
50 He made a path for His anger; He did not spare their soul from death, But gave their life over to the plague,
50 ὡδοποίησε τρίβον τῇ ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐφείσατο ἀπὸ θανάτου τῶν ψυχῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν εἰς θάνατον συνέκλεισε
51 And destroyed all the firstborn in Egypt, The first of their strength in the tents of Ham.
51 καὶ ἐπάταξε πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, ἀπαρχὴν παντὸς πόνου αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασι Χάμ,
52 But He made His own people go forth like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;
52 καὶ ἀπῇρεν ὡς πρόβατα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ὡσεὶ ποίμνιον ἐν ἐρήμῳ
53 And He led them on safely, so that they did not fear; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
53 καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ἐπ᾿ ἐλπίδι, καὶ οὐκ ἐδειλίασαν, καὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτῶν ἐκάλυψε θάλασσα.
54 And He brought them to His holy border, This mountain which His right hand had acquired.
54 καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ὄρος ἁγιάσματος αὐτοῦ, ὄρος τοῦτο, ὃ ἐκτήσατο ἡ δεξιὰ αὐτοῦ,
55 He also drove out the nations before them, Allotted them an inheritance by survey, And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.
55 καὶ ἐξέβαλεν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν ἔθνη καὶ ἐκληροδότησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν σχοινίῳ κληροδοσίας καὶ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν αὐτῶν τὰς φυλὰς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
56 Yet they tested and provoked the Most High God, And did not keep His testimonies,
56 καὶ ἐπείρασαν καὶ παρεπίκραναν τὸν Θεὸν τὸν ¨Υψιστον καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐφυλάξαντο
57 But turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers; They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
57 καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν καὶ ἠθέτησαν, καθὼς καὶ οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν, μετεστράφησαν εἰς τόξον στρεβλὸν
58 For they provoked Him to anger with their high places, And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images.
58 καὶ παρώργισαν αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς βουνοῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν τοῖς γλυπτοῖς αὐτῶν παρεζήλωσαν αὐτόν.
59 When God heard this, He was furious, And greatly abhorred Israel,
59 ἤκουσεν ὁ Θεὸς καὶ ὑπερεῖδε καὶ ἐξουδένωσε σφόδρα τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
60 So that He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent He had placed among men,
60 καὶ ἀπώσατο τὴν σκηνὴν Σιλώμ, σκήνωμα, ὃ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν ἀνθρώποις.
61 And delivered His strength into captivity, And His glory into the enemy’s hand.
61 καὶ παρέδωκεν εἰς αἰχμαλωσίαν τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν καλλονὴν αὐτῶν εἰς χεῖρα ἐχθρῶν
62 He also gave His people over to the sword, And was furious with His inheritance.
62 καὶ συνέκλεισεν ἐν ρομφαίᾳ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ ὑπερεῖδε.
63 The fire consumed their young men, And their maidens were not given in marriage.
63 τοὺς νεανίσκους αὐτῶν κατέφαγε πῦρ, καὶ αἱ παρθένοι αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐπενθήθησαν·
64 Their priests fell by the sword, And their widows made no lamentation.
64 οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτῶν ἐν ρομφαίᾳ ἔπεσον, καὶ αἱ χῆραι αὐτῶν οὐ κλαυθήσονται.
65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, Like a mighty man who shouts because of wine.
65 καὶ ἐξηγέρθη ὡς ὁ ὑπνῶν Κύριος, ὡς δυνατὸς κεκραιπαληκὼς ἐξ οἴνου,
66 And He beat back His enemies; He put them to a perpetual reproach.
66 καὶ ἐπάταξε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, ὄνειδος αἰώνιον ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς.
67 Moreover He rejected the tent of Joseph, And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
67 καὶ ἀπώσατο τὸ σκήνωμα Ἰωσὴφ καὶ τὴν φυλὴν Ἐφραὶμ οὐκ ἐξελέξατο·
68 But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which He loved.
68 καὶ ἐξελέξατο τὴν φυλὴν Ἰούδα, τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σιών, ὃ ἠγάπησε,
69 And He built His sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which He has established forever.
69 καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ὡς μονοκέρωτος τὸ ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
70 He also chose David His servant, And took him from the sheepfolds;
70 καὶ ἐξελέξατο Δαυΐδ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέλαβεν αὐτὸν ἐκ τῶν ποιμνίων τῶν προβάτων,
71 From following the ewes that had young He brought him, To shepherd Jacob His people, And Israel His inheritance.
71 ἐξόπισθεν τῶν λοχευομένων ἔλαβεν αὐτόν ποιμαίνειν Ἰακὼβ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ καὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ
72 So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
72 καὶ ἐποίμανεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἀκακίᾳ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῇ συνέσει τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ ὡδήγησεν αὐτούς.
