ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 78

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Μασχιλ του Ασαφ.>> Ακουσον, λαε μου, τον νομον μου? κλινατε τα ωτα σας εις τα λογια του στοματος μου.	1 A maskil of Asaph. Attend, my people, to my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth.
2 Θελω ανοιξει εν παραβολη το στομα μου? θελω προφερει πραγματα αξιομνημονευτα, τα απ' αρχης?	2 I will open my mouth in story, drawing lessons from of old.
3 οσα ηκουσαμεν και εγνωρισαμεν και οι πατερες ημων διηγηθησαν εις ημας.	3 We have heard them, we know them; our ancestors have recited them to us.
4 Δεν θελομεν κρυψει αυτα απο των τεκνων αυτων εις την επερχομενην γενεαν, διηγουμενοι τους επαινους του Κυριου και την δυναμιν αυτου και τα θαυμασια αυτου, τα οποια εκαμε.	4 We do not keep them from our children; we recite them to the next generation, The praiseworthy and mighty deeds of the LORD, the wonders that he performed.
5 Και εστησε μαρτυριον εν τω Ιακωβ και νομον εθεσεν εν τω Ισραηλ, τα οποια προσεταξεν εις τους πατερας ημων, να καμνωσιν αυτα γνωστα εις τα τεκνα αυτων?	5 God set up a decree in Jacob, established a law in Israel: What he commanded our ancestors, they were to teach their children;
6 δια να γνωριζη αυτα η γενεα η επερχομενη, οι υιοι οι μελλοντες να γεννηθωσι? και αυτοι, οταν αναστηθωσι, να διηγωνται εις τα τεκνα αυτων?	6 That the next generation might come to know, children yet to be born. In turn they were to recite them to their children,
7 δια να θεσωσιν επι τον Θεον την ελπιδα αυτων, και να μη λησμονωσι τα εργα του Θεου, αλλα να φυλαττωσι τας εντολας αυτου?	7 that they too might put their trust in God, And not forget the works of God, keeping his commandments.
8 και να μη γεινωσιν, ως οι πατερες αυτων, γενεα διεστραμμενη και απειθης? γενεα, ητις δεν εφυλαξεν ευθειαν την καρδιαν αυτης, και δεν εσταθη πιστον μετα του Θεου το πνευμα αυτης?	8 They were not to be like their ancestors, a rebellious and defiant generation, A generation whose heart was not constant, whose spirit was not faithful to God,
9 ως οι υιοι του Εφραιμ, οιτινες ωπλισμενοι, βασταζοντες τοξα, εστραφησαν οπισω την ημεραν της μαχης.	9 Like the ranks of Ephraimite archers, who retreated on the day of battle.
10 Δεν εφυλαξαν την διαθηκην του Θεου, και εν τω νομω αυτου δεν ηθελησαν να περιπατωσι?	10 They did not keep God's covenant; they refused to walk by his law.
11 και ελησμονησαν τα εργα αυτου και τα θαυμασια αυτου, τα οποια εδειξεν εις αυτους.	11 They forgot his works, the wondrous deeds he had shown them.
12 Εμπροσθεν των πατερων αυτων εκαμε θαυμασια, εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου, τη πεδιαδι Τανεως.	12 In the sight of their ancestors God did wonders, in the land of Egypt, the plain of Zoan.
13 Διεσχισε την θαλασσαν και διεπερασεν αυτους και εστησε τα υδατα ως σωρον?	13 He split the sea and led them across, piling up the waters rigid as walls.
14 και ωδηγησεν αυτους την ημεραν εν νεφελη και ολην την νυκτα εν φωτι πυρος.	14 God led them with a cloud by day, all night with the light of fire.
15 Διεσχισε πετρας εν τη ερημω και εποτισεν αυτους ως εκ μεγαλων αβυσσων?	15 He split rock in the desert, gave water to drink, abounding as the deep.
16 και εξηγαγε ρυακας εκ της πετρας και κατεβιβασεν υδατα ως ποταμους.	16 He made streams flow from crags, drew out rivers of water.
17 Αλλ' αυτοι εξηκολουθουν ετι αμαρτανοντες εις αυτον, παροξυνοντες τον Υψιστον εν ανυδρω τοπω?	17 But they went on sinning against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
18 και επειρασαν τον Θεον εν τη καρδια αυτων, ζητουντες βρωσιν κατα την ορεξιν αυτων?	18 They tested God in their hearts, demanding the food they craved.
19 και ελαλησαν κατα του Θεου, λεγοντες, Μηπως δυναται ο Θεος να ετοιμαση τραπεζαν εν τη ερημω;	19 They spoke against God, and said, "Can God spread a table in the desert?
20 Ιδου, επαταξε την πετραν, και ερρευσαν υδατα και χειμαρροι επλημμυρησαν? μηπως δυναται να δωση και αρτον; η να ετοιμαση κρεας εις τον λαον αυτου;	20 True, when he struck the rock, water gushed forth, the wadis flooded. But can he also provide bread, give meat to his people?"
21 Δια τουτο ηκουσεν ο Κυριος και ωργισθη? και πυρ εξηφθη κατα του Ιακωβ, ετι δε και οργη ανεβη κατα του Ισραηλ?	21 The LORD heard and grew angry; fire blazed up against Jacob; anger flared up against Israel.
22 διοτι δεν επιστευσαν εις τον Θεον, ουδε ηλπισαν επι την σωτηριαν αυτου?	22 For they did not believe in God, did not trust in his saving power.
23 ενω προσεταξε τας νεφελας απο ανωθεν και τας θυρας του ουρανου ηνοιξε,	23 So he commanded the skies above; the doors of heaven he opened.
24 και εβρεξεν εις αυτους μαννα δια να φαγωσι και σιτον ουρανου εδωκεν εις αυτους?	24 God rained manna upon them for food; bread from heaven he gave them.
25 αρτον αγγελων εφαγεν ο ανθρωπος? τροφην εστειλεν εις αυτους μεχρι χορτασμου.	25 All ate a meal fit for heroes; food he sent in abundance.
26 Εσηκωσεν εν τω ουρανω ανατολικον ανεμον, και δια της δυναμεως αυτου επεφερε τον νοτον?	26 He stirred up the east wind in the heavens; by his power God brought on the south wind.
27 και εβρεξεν επ' αυτους κρεας ως το χωμα και πετεινα πτερωτα ως την αμμον της θαλασσης?	27 He rained meat upon them like dust, winged fowl like the sands of the sea,
28 και εκαμε να πεσωσιν εις το μεσον του στρατοπεδου αυτων, κυκλω των σκηνων αυτων.	28 Brought them down in the midst of the camp, round about their tents.
29 Και εφαγον και εχορτασθησαν σφοδρα? και εφερεν εις αυτους την επιθυμιαν αυτων?	29 They ate and were well filled; he gave them what they had craved.
30 δεν ειχον χωρισθη απο της επιθυμιας αυτων, ετι ητο εν τω στοματι αυτων βρωσις αυτων,	30 But while they still wanted more, and the food was still in their mouths,
31 και οργη του Θεου ανεβη επ' αυτους, και εφονευσε τους μεγαλητερους εξ αυτων και τους εκλεκτους του Ισραηλ κατεβαλεν.	31 God's anger attacked them, killed their best warriors, laid low the youth of Israel.
32 Εν πασι τουτοις ημαρτησαν ετι και δεν επιστευσαν εις τα θαυμασια αυτου.	32 In spite of all this they went on sinning, they did not believe in his wonders.
33 Δια τουτο συνετελεσεν εν ματαιοτητι τας ημερας αυτων και τα ετη αυτων εν ταραχη.	33 God ended their days abruptly, their years in sudden death.
34 Οτε εθανατονεν αυτους, τοτε εξεζητουν αυτον, και επεστρεφον και απο ορθρου προσετρεχον εις τον Θεον?	34 When he slew them, they began to seek him; they again inquired of their God.
35 και ενεθυμουντο, οτι ο Θεος ητο φρουριον αυτων και ο Θεος ο Υψιστος λυτρωτης αυτων.	35 They remembered that God was their rock, God Most High, their redeemer.
36 Αλλ' εκολακευον αυτον δια του στοματος αυτων και δια της γλωσσης αυτων εψευδοντο προς αυτον?	36 But they deceived him with their mouths, lied to him with their tongues.
37 Η δε καρδια αυτων δεν ητο ευθεια μετ' αυτου, και δεν ησαν πιστοι εις την διαθηκην αυτου.	37 Their hearts were not constant toward him; they were not faithful to his covenant.
38 Αυτος ομως οικτιρμων συνεχωρησε την ανομιαν αυτων και δεν ηφανισεν αυτους? αλλα πολλακις ανεστελλε τον θυμον αυτου, και δεν διηγειρεν ολην την οργην αυτου?	38 But God is merciful and forgave their sin; he did not utterly destroy them. Time and again he turned back his anger, unwilling to unleash all his rage.
39 και ενεθυμηθη οτι ησαν σαρξ? ανεμος παρερχομενος και μη επιστρεφων.	39 He was mindful that they were flesh, a breath that passes and does not return.
40 Ποσακις παρωξυναν αυτον εν τη ερημω, παρωργισαν αυτον εν τη ανυδρω,	40 How often they rebelled against God in the desert, grieved him in the wasteland.
41 και εστραφησαν και επειρασαν τον Θεον, και τον Αγιον του Ισραηλ παρωξυναν.	41 Again and again they tested God, provoked the Holy One of Israel.
42 Δεν ενεθυμηθησαν την χειρα αυτου, την ημεραν καθ' ην ελυτρωσεν αυτους απο του εχθρου?	42 They did not remember his power, the day he redeemed them from the foe,
43 πως εδειξεν εν Αιγυπτω τα σημεια αυτου και τα θαυμασια αυτου εν τη πεδιαδι Τανεως?	43 When he displayed his wonders in Egypt, his marvels in the plain of Zoan.
44 και μετεβαλεν εις αιμα τους ποταμους αυτων και τους ρυακας αυτων, δια να μη πιωσιν.	44 God changed their rivers to blood; their streams they could not drink.
45 Απεστειλεν επ' αυτους κυνομυιαν και κατεφαγεν αυτους, και βατραχους και εφανισαν αυτους.	45 He sent insects that devoured them, frogs that destroyed them.
46 Και παρεδωκε τους καρπους αυτων εις τον βρουχον και τους κοπους αυτων εις την ακριδα.	46 He gave their harvest to the caterpillar, the fruits of their labor to the locust.
47 Κατηφανισε δια της χαλαζης τας αμπελους αυτων και τας συκαμινους αυτων με πετρας χαλαζης?	47 He killed their vines with hail, their sycamores with frost.
48 και παρεδωκεν εις την χαλαζαν τα κτηνη αυτων και τα ποιμνια αυτων εις τους κεραυνους.	48 He exposed their flocks to deadly hail, their cattle to lightning.
49 Απεστειλεν επ' αυτους την εξαψιν του θυμου αυτου, την αγανακτησιν και την οργην και την θλιψιν, αποστελλων αυτα δι' αγγελων κακοποιων.	49 He unleashed against them his fiery breath, roar, fury, and distress, storming messengers of death.
50 Ηνοιξεν οδον εις την οργην αυτου? δεν εφεισθη απο του θανατου την ψυχην αυτων, και παρεδωκεν εις θανατικον την ζωην αυτων?	50 He cleared a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death; he delivered their beasts to the plague.
51 και επαταξε παν πρωτοτοκον εν Αιγυπτω, την απαρχην της δυναμεως αυτων εν ταις σκηναις του Χαμ?	51 He struck all the firstborn of Egypt, love's first child in the tents of Ham.
52 και εσηκωσεν εκειθεν ως προβατα τον λαον αυτου και ωδηγησεν αυτους ως ποιμνιον εν τη ερημω?	52 God led forth his people like sheep; he guided them through the desert like a flock.
53 και ωδηγησεν αυτους εν ασφαλεια, και δεν εδειλιασαν? τους δε εχθρους αυτων εσκεπασεν η θαλασσα.	53 He led them on secure and unafraid, but the sea enveloped their enemies.
54 Και εισηγαγεν αυτους εις το οριον της αγιοτητος αυτου, το ορος τουτο, το οποιον απεκτησεν η δεξια αυτου?	54 He brought them to his holy land, the mountain his right hand had won.
55 και εξεδιωξεν απ' εμπροσθεν αυτων τα εθνη και διεμοιρασεν αυτα κληρονομιαν με σχοινιον, και εν ταις σκηναις αυτων κατωκισε τας φυλας του Ισραηλ.	55 God drove out the nations before them, apportioned them a heritage by lot, settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
56 Και ομως επειρασαν και παρωξυναν τον Θεον τον υψιστον και δεν εφυλαξαν τα μαρτυρια αυτου?	56 But they tested, rebelled against God Most High, his decrees they did not observe.
57 αλλ' εστραφησαν και εφερθησαν απιστως, ως οι πατερες αυτων? εστραφησαν ως τοξον στρεβλον?	57 They turned back, deceitful like their ancestors; they proved false like a bow with no tension.
58 και παρωργισαν αυτον με τους υψηλους αυτων τοπους, και με τα γλυπτα αυτων διηγειραν αυτον εις ζηλοτυπιαν.	58 They enraged him with their high places; with their idols they goaded him.
59 Ηκουσεν ο Θεος και υπερωργισθη και εβδελυχθη σφοδρα τον Ισραηλ?	59 God heard and grew angry; he rejected Israel completely.
60 και εγκατελιπε την σκηνην του Σηλω, την σκηνην οπου κατωκησε μεταξυ των ανθρωπων?	60 He forsook the shrine at Shiloh, the tent where he dwelt with humans.
61 και παρεδωκεν εις αιχμαλωσιαν την δυναμιν αυτου και την δοξαν αυτου εις χειρα εχθρου?	61 He gave up his might into captivity, his glorious ark into the hands of the foe.
62 και παρεδωκεν εις ρομφαιαν τον λαον αυτου και υπερωργισθη κατα της κληρονομιας αυτου?	62 God abandoned his people to the sword; he was enraged against his heritage.
63 τους νεους αυτων κατεφαγε πυρ, και αι παρθενοι αυτων δεν ενυμφευθησαν?	63 Fire consumed their young men; their young women heard no wedding songs.
64 οι ιερεις αυτων επεσον εν μαχαιρα, και αι χηραι αυτων δεν επενθησαν.	64 Their priests fell by the sword; their widows made no lamentation.
65 Τοτε εξηγερθη ως εξ υπνου ο Κυριος, ως ανθρωπος δυνατος, βοων απο οινου?	65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a warrior from the effects of wine.
66 και επαταξε τους εχθρους αυτου εις τα οπισω? ονειδος αιωνιον εθεσεν επ' αυτους.	66 He put his enemies to flight; everlasting shame he dealt them.
67 Και απερριψε την σκηνην Ιωσηφ, και την φυλην Εφραιμ δεν εξελεξεν.	67 He rejected the tent of Joseph, chose not the tribe of Ephraim.
68 Αλλ' εξελεξε την φυλην Ιουδα, το ορος της Σιων, το οποιον ηγαπησε.	68 God chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he favored.
69 Και ωκοδομησεν ως υψηλα παλατια το αγιαστηριον αυτου, ως την γην την οποιαν εθεμελιωσεν εις τον αιωνα.	69 He built his shrine like the heavens, like the earth which he founded forever.
70 Και εξελεξε Δαβιδ τον δουλον αυτου και ανελαβεν αυτον εκ των ποιμνιων των προβατων?	70 He chose David his servant, took him from the sheepfold.
71 Εξοπισθεν των θηλαζοντων προβατων εφερεν αυτον, δια να ποιμαινη Ιακωβ τον λαον αυτου και Ισραηλ την κληρονομιαν αυτου?	71 From tending sheep God brought him, to shepherd Jacob, his people, Israel, his heritage.
72 Και εποιμανεν αυτους κατα την ακακιαν της καρδιας αυτου? και δια της συνεσεως των χειρων αυτου ωδηγησεν αυτους.	72 He shepherded them with a pure heart; with skilled hands he guided them.
