ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 106

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Αλληλουια. Αινειτε τον Κυριον, διοτι ειναι αγαθος? διοτι το ελεος αυτου μενει εις τον αιωνα.	1 Al eluia! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, his faithful love is everlasting!
2 Τις δυναται να κηρυξη τα κραταια εργα του Κυριου, να καμη ακουστας πασας τας αινεσεις αυτου;	2 Who can recount al Yahweh's triumphs, who can ful y voice his praise?
3 Μακαριοι οι φυλαττοντες κρισιν, οι πραττοντες δικαιοσυνην εν παντι καιρω.	3 How blessed are those who keep to what is just, whose conduct is always upright!
4 Μνησθητι μου, Κυριε, εν τη ευμενεια τη προς τον λαον σου? επισκεφθητι με εν τη σωτηρια σου?	4 Remember me, Yahweh, in your love for your people. Come near to me with your saving power,
5 δια να βλεπω το καλον των εκλεκτων σου, δια να ευφραινωμαι εν τη ευφροσυνη του εθνους σου, δια να καυχωμαι μετα της κληρονομιας σου.	5 let me share the happiness of your chosen ones, let me share the joy of your people, the pride ofyour heritage.
6 Ημαρτησαμεν μετα των πατερων ημων? ηνομησαμεν, ησεβησαμεν.	6 Like our ancestors, we have sinned, we have acted wickedly, guiltily;
7 Οι πατερες ημων εν Αιγυπτω δεν ενοησαν τα θαυμασια σου? δεν ενεθυμηθησαν το πληθος του ελεους σου, και σε παρωργισαν εν τη θαλασση, εν τη Ερυθρα θαλασση.	7 our ancestors in Egypt never grasped the meaning of your wonders. They did not bear in mind yourcountless acts of love, at the Sea of Reeds they defied the Most High;
8 Και ομως εσωσεν αυτους δια το ονομα αυτου, δια να καμη γνωστα τα κραταια εργα αυτου.	8 but for the sake of his name he saved them, to make known his mighty power.
9 Και επετιμησε την Ερυθραν θαλασσαν, και εξηρανθη? και διεβιβασεν αυτους δια των αβυσσων ως δι' ερημου?	9 At his rebuke the Sea of Reeds dried up, he let them pass through the deep as though it were desert,
10 και εσωσεν αυτους εκ της χειρος του μισουντος αυτους, και ελυτρωσεν αυτους εκ της χειρος του εχθρου.	10 so he saved them from their opponents' clutches, rescued them from the clutches of their enemies.
11 Και τα υδατα κατεκαλυψαν τους εχθρους αυτων? δεν απελειφθη ουδε εις εξ αυτων.	11 The waters enveloped their enemies, not one of whom was left.
12 Τοτε επιστευσαν εις τους λογους αυτου? εψαλαν την αινεσιν αυτου.	12 Then they believed what he had said, and sang his praises.
13 Πλην ταχεως ελησμονησαν τα εργα αυτου? δεν περιεμειναν την βουλην αυτου?	13 But they soon forgot his achievements, they did not even wait for his plans;
14 Αλλ' επεθυμησαν επιθυμιαν εν τη ερημω, και επειρασαν τον Θεον εν τη ανυδρω.	14 they were overwhelmed with greed in the wastelands, in the solitary wastes they challenged God.
15 Και εδωκεν εις αυτους την αιτησιν αυτων? απεστειλεν ομως εις αυτους νοσον θανατηφορον.	15 He gave them al they asked for, but struck them with a deep wasting sickness;
16 Εφθονησαν ετι τον Μωυσην εν τω στρατοπεδω και τον Ααρων τον αγιον του Κυριου.	16 in the camp they grew jealous of Moses, and of Aaron, Yahweh's holy one.
17 Η γη ηνοιξε και κατεπιε τον Δαθαν, και εσκεπασε την συναγωγην του Αβειρων?	17 The earth opened and swal owed up Dathan, closed in on Abiram's faction;
18 και πυρ εξηφθη εν τη συναγωγη αυτων? η φλοξ κατεκαυσε τους ασεβεις.	18 fire flamed out against their faction, the renegades were engulfed in flames.
19 Κατεσκευασαν μοσχον εν Χωρηβ, και προσεκυνησαν το χωνευτον?	19 At Horeb they made a calf, bowed low before cast metal;
20 και μετηλλαξαν την δοξαν αυτων εις ομοιωμα βοος τρωγοντος χορτον.	20 they exchanged their glory for the image of a grass-eating bull.
21 Ελησμονησαν τον Θεον τον σωτηρα αυτων τον ποιησαντα μεγαλεια εν Αιγυπτω,	21 They forgot the God who was saving them, who had done great deeds in Egypt,
22 θαυμασια εν γη Χαμ, φοβερα εν τη Ερυθρα θαλασση.	22 such wonders in the land of Ham, such awesome deeds at the Sea of Reeds.
23 Και ειπε να εξολοθρευση αυτους, αν ο Μωυσης ο εκλεκτος αυτου δεν ιστατο εν τη θραυσει ενωπιον αυτου, δια να αποστρεψη την οργην αυτου, ωστε να μη αφανιση αυτους.	23 He thought of putting an end to them, had not Moses, his chosen one, taken a stand in the breachand confronted him, to turn his anger away from destroying them.
24 Κατεφρονησαν ετι την γην την επιθυμητην? δεν επιστευσαν εις τον λογον αυτου?	24 They counted a desirable land for nothing, they put no trust in his promise;
25 και εγογγυσαν εν ταις σκηναις αυτων? δεν εισηκουσαν της φωνης του Κυριου.	25 they stayed in their tents and grumbled, they would not listen to Yahweh's voice.
26 Δια τουτο εσηκωσε την χειρα αυτου κατ' αυτων, δια να καταστρεψη αυτους εν τη ερημω.	26 So he lifted his hand against them, to strike them down in the desert,
27 και να στρεψη το σπερμα αυτων μεταξυ των εθνων και να διασκορπιση αυτους εις τους τοπους.	27 to strike down their descendants among the nations, to scatter them al over the world.
28 Και προσεκολληθησαν εις τον Βεελ-φεγωρ, και εφαγον θυσιας νεκρων?	28 They committed themselves to serve Baal-Peor, and ate sacrifices made to lifeless gods.
29 και παρωξυναν αυτον εν τοις εργοις αυτων, ωστε εφωρμησεν επ' αυτους η πληγη.	29 They so provoked him by their actions that a plague broke out among them.
30 Αλλα σταθεις ο Φινεες εκαμε κρισιν? και η πληγη επαυσε?	30 Then up stood Phinehas to intervene, and the plague was checked;
31 και ελογισθη εις αυτον δια δικαιοσυνην, εις γενεαν και γενεαν εως αιωνος.	31 for this he is the example of uprightness, from age to age for ever.
32 Και παρωξυναν αυτον εν τοις υδασι της αντιλογιας, και επαθε κακως ο Μωυσης δι' αυτους?	32 At the waters of Meribah they so angered Yahweh, that Moses suffered on their account,
33 διοτι παρωργισαν το πνευμα αυτου, ωστε ελαλησεν αστοχαστως δια των χειλεων αυτου.	33 for they had embittered his spirit, and he spoke without due thought.
34 Δεν εξωλοθρευσαν τα εθνη τα οποια ο Κυριος προσεταξεν εις αυτους?	34 They did not destroy the nations, as Yahweh had told them to do,
35 αλλ' εσμιχθησαν μετα των εθνων και εμαθον τα εργα αυτων?	35 but intermarried with them, and adopted their ways.
36 και ελατρευσαν τα γλυπτα αυτων, τα οποια εγειναν παγις εις αυτους?	36 They worshipped those nations' false gods, til they found themselves entrapped,
37 και εθυσιασαν τους υιους αυτων και τας θυγατερας αυτων εις τα δαιμονια?	37 and sacrificed their own sons and their daughters to demons.
38 Και εχυσαν αιμα αθωον, το αιμα των υιων αυτων και των θυγατερων αυτων τους οποιους εθυσιασαν εις τα γλυπτα της Χανααν? και εμιανθη η γη εξ αιματων.	38 Innocent blood they shed, the blood of their sons and daughters; offering them to the idols ofCanaan, they pol uted the country with blood.
39 Και εμολυνθησαν με τα εργα αυτων, και επορνευσαν με τας πραξεις αυτων.	39 They defiled themselves by such actions, their behaviour was that of a harlot.
40 Δια τουτο η οργη του Κυριου εξηφθη κατα του λαου αυτου, και εβδελυχθη την κληρονομιαν αυτου,	40 Yahweh's anger blazed out at his people, his own heritage fil ed him with disgust.
41 Και παρεδωκεν αυτους εις τας χειρας των εθνων? και εκυριευσαν αυτους οι μισουντες αυτους.	41 He handed them over to the nations, and their opponents became their masters;
42 Και εθλιψαν αυτους οι εχθροι αυτων, και εταπεινωθησαν υπο τας χειρας αυτων.	42 their enemies lorded it over them, crushing them under their rule.
43 Πολλακις ελυτρωσεν αυτους, αλλ' αυτοι παρωργισαν αυτον με τας βουλας αυτων? διο εταπεινωθησαν δια την ανομιαν αυτων.	43 Time and again he rescued them, but they stil defied him deliberately, and sank ever deeper in theirguilt;
44 Πλην επεβλεψεν επι την θλιψιν αυτων, οτε ηκουσε την κραυγην αυτων?	44 even so he took pity on their distress, as soon as he heard them cry out.
45 και ενεθυμηθη την προς αυτους διαθηκην αυτου και μετεμεληθη κατα το πληθος του ελεους αυτου.	45 Bearing his covenant with them in mind, he relented in his boundless and faithful love;
46 Και εκαμεν αυτους να ευρωσιν ελεος ενωπιον παντων των αιχμαλωτισαντων αυτους.	46 he ensured that they received compassion, in their treatment by al their captors.
47 Σωσον ημας, Κυριε ο Θεος ημων, και συναγαγε ημας απο των εθνων, δια να δοξολογωμεν το ονομα σου το αγιον και να καυχωμεθα εις την αινεσιν σου.	47 Save us, Yahweh our God, gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holyname, and may glory in praising you.
48 Ευλογητος Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ, απο του αιωνος και εως του αιωνος? και ας λεγη πας ο λαος, Αμην. Αλληλουια.	48 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from all eternity and for ever! Let all the people say, 'Amen'.
