Psalmi 78

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Maskil. Asaph. Attendite, popule meus, doctrinam meam; inclinate aurem vestram in verba oris mei.	1 A Maskil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth!
2 Aperiam in parabolis os meum, eloquar arcana aetatis antiquae.	2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old,
3 Quanta audivimus et cognovimus ea, et patres nostri narraverunt nobis,	3 things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us.
4 non occultabimus a filiis eorum, generationi alteri narrantes laudes Domini et virtutes eius et mirabilia eius, quae fecit.	4 We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders which he has wrought.
5 Constituit testimonium in Iacob et legem posuit in Israel; quanta mandaverat patribus nostris nota facere ea filiis suis,	5 He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children;
6 ut cognoscat generatio altera, filii, qui nascentur. Exsurgent et narrabunt filiis suis,	6 that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children,
7 ut ponant in Deo spem suam et non obliviscantur operum Dei et mandata eius custodiant.	7 so that they should set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments;
8 Ne fiant sicut patres eorum, generatio rebellis et exasperans; generatio, quae non firmavit cor suum, et non fuit fidelis Deo spiritus eius.	8 and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God.
9 Filii Ephraim, intendentes et mittentes arcum, conversi sunt in die belli.	9 The Ephraimites, armed with the bow, turned back on the day of battle.
10 Non custodierunt testamentum Dei et in lege eius renuerunt ambulare.	10 They did not keep God's covenant, but refused to walk according to his law.
11 Et obliti sunt factorum eius et mirabilium eius, quae ostendit eis.	11 They forgot what he had done, and the miracles that he had shown them.
12 Coram patribus eorum fecit mirabilia in terra Aegypti, in campo Taneos.	12 In the sight of their fathers he wrought marvels in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.
13 Scidit mare et perduxit eos et statuit aquas quasi in utre.	13 He divided the sea and let them pass through it, and made the waters stand like a heap.
14 Et deduxit eos in nube per diem et per totam noctem in illuminatione ignis.	14 In the daytime he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a fiery light.
15 Scidit petram in eremo et adaquavit eos velut abyssus multa.	15 He cleft rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.
16 Et eduxit rivulos de petra et deduxit tamquam flumina aquas.	16 He made streams come out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down like rivers.
17 Et apposuerunt adhuc peccare ei, in iram excitaverunt Excelsum in inaquoso.	17 Yet they sinned still more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
18 Et tentaverunt Deum in cordibus suis, petentes escas animabus suis;	18 They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved.
19 et contra Deum locuti sunt, dixerunt: “ Numquid poterit Deus parare mensam in deserto? ”.	19 They spoke against God, saying, "Can God spread a table in the wilderness?
20 Ecce percussit petram, et fluxerunt aquae, et torrentes inundaverunt. “ Numquid et panem poterit dare aut parare carnes populo suo? ”.	20 He smote the rock so that water gushed out and streams overflowed. Can he also give bread, or provide meat for his people?"
21 Ideo audivit Dominus et exarsit, et ignis accensus est in Iacob, et ira ascendit in Israel.	21 Therefore, when the LORD heard, he was full of wrath; a fire was kindled against Jacob, his anger mounted against Israel;
22 Quia non crediderunt in Deo nec speraverunt in salutari eius.	22 because they had no faith in God, and did not trust his saving power.
23 Verumtamen mandavit nubibus desuper et ianuas caeli aperuit;	23 Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven;
24 et pluit illis manna ad manducandum et panem caeli dedit eis:	24 and he rained down upon them manna to eat, and gave them the grain of heaven.
25 panem angelorum manducavit homo; cibaria misit eis ad abundantiam.	25 Man ate of the bread of the angels; he sent them food in abundance.
26 Excitavit austrum in caelo et induxit in virtute sua africum;	26 He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens, and by his power he led out the south wind;
27 et pluit super eos sicut pulverem carnes et sicut arenam maris volatilia pennata:	27 he rained flesh upon them like dust, winged birds like the sand of the seas;
28 et ceciderunt in medio castrorum eorum, circa tabernacula eorum.	28 he let them fall in the midst of their camp, all around their habitations.
29 Et manducaverunt et saturati sunt nimis, et desiderium eorum attulit eis.	29 And they ate and were well filled, for he gave them what they craved.
30 Nondum recesserant a desiderio suo, adhuc escae eorum erant in ore ipsorum,	30 But before they had sated their craving, while the food was still in their mouths,
31 et ira Dei ascendit super eos et occidit pingues eorum et electos Israel prostravit.	31 the anger of God rose against them and he slew the strongest of them, and laid low the picked men of Israel.
32 In omnibus his peccaverunt adhuc et non crediderunt in mirabilibus eius;	32 In spite of all this they still sinned; despite his wonders they did not believe.
33 et consumpsit in halitu dies eorum et annos eorum cum festinatione.	33 So he made their days vanish like a breath, and their years in terror.
34 Cum occideret eos, quaerebant eum et conversi veniebant diluculo ad eum;	34 When he slew them, they sought for him; they repented and sought God earnestly.
35 et rememorati sunt quia Deus adiutor est eorum, et Deus Excelsus redemptor eorum est.	35 They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God their redeemer.
36 Et suaserunt ei in ore suo et lingua sua mentiti sunt ei;	36 But they flattered him with their mouths; they lied to him with their tongues.
37 cor autem eorum non erat rectum cum eo, nec fideles erant in testamento eius.	37 Their heart was not steadfast toward him; they were not true to his covenant.
38 Ipse autem est misericors et propitiatur iniquitati et non disperdit. Saepe avertit iram suam et non accendit omnem furorem suum.	38 Yet he, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity, and did not destroy them; he restrained his anger often, and did not stir up all his wrath.
39 Et recordatus est quia caro sunt, spiritus vadens et non rediens.	39 He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again.
40 Quoties exacerbaverunt eum in deserto, in iram concitaverunt eum in inaquoso!	40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the desert!
41 Et reversi sunt et tentaverunt Deum et Sanctum Israel exacerbaverunt.	41 They tested him again and again, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
42 Non sunt recordati manus eius, diei, qua redemit eos de manu tribulantis.	42 They did not keep in mind his power, or the day when he redeemed them from the foe;
43 Cum posuit in Aegypto signa sua et prodigia sua in campo Taneos.	43 when he wrought his signs in Egypt, and his miracles in the fields of Zoan.
44 Convertit in sanguinem flumina eorum et rivulos eorum, ne biberent.	44 He turned their rivers to blood, so that they could not drink of their streams.
45 Misit in eos coenomyiam et comedit eos, ranam et perdidit eos.	45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.
46 Dedit brucho fructus eorum, labores eorum locustae.	46 He gave their crops to the caterpillar, and the fruit of their labor to the locust.
47 Occidit in grandine vineas eorum, moros eorum in pruina.	47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamores with frost.
48 Tradidit grandini iumenta eorum et greges eorum flammae ignis.	48 He gave over their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to thunderbolts.
49 Misit in eos ardorem irae suae, indignationem et comminationem et angustiam, immissionem angelorum malorum.	49 He let loose on them his fierce anger, wrath, indignation, and distress, a company of destroying angels.
50 Complanavit semitam irae suae; non pepercit a morte animabus eorum et vitam eorum in peste conclusit.	50 He made a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death, but gave their lives over to the plague.
51 Percussit omne primogenitum in terra Aegypti, primitias roboris eorum in tabernaculis Cham.	51 He smote all the first-born in Egypt, the first issue of their strength in the tents of Ham.
52 Abstulit sicut oves populum suum et perduxit eos tamquam gregem in deserto.	52 Then he led forth his people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
53 Deduxit eos in spe, et non timuerunt, et inimicos eorum operuit mare.	53 He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid; but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54 Et induxit eos in fines sanctificationis suae, in montem, quem acquisivit dextera eius.	54 And he brought them to his holy land, to the mountain which his right hand had won.
55 Et eiecit a facie eorum gentes et divisit eis terram in funiculo hereditatis et habitare fecit in tabernaculis eorum tribus Israel.	55 He drove out nations before them; he apportioned them for a possession and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
56 Et tentaverunt et exacerbaverunt Deum Excelsum et testimonia eius non custodierunt.	56 Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High God, and did not observe his testimonies,
57 Recesserunt et praevaricati sunt, quemadmodum patres eorum; conversi sunt retro ut arcus pravus.	57 but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers; they twisted like a deceitful bow.
58 In iram concitaverunt eum in collibus suis et in sculptilibus suis ad aemulationem eum provocaverunt.	58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places; they moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
59 Audivit Deus et exarsit et sprevit valde Israel.	59 When God heard, he was full of wrath, and he utterly rejected Israel.
60 Et reppulit habitaculum Silo, tabernaculum, ubi habitavit in hominibus.	60 He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh, the tent where he dwelt among men,
61 Et tradidit in captivitatem virtutem suam et pulchritudinem suam in manus inimici.	61 and delivered his power to captivity, his glory to the hand of the foe.
62 Et conclusit in gladio populum suum et in hereditatem suam exarsit.	62 He gave his people over to the sword, and vented his wrath on his heritage.
63 Iuvenes eorum comedit ignis, et virgines eorum non sunt desponsatae.	63 Fire devoured their young men, and their maidens had no marriage song.
64 Sacerdotes eorum in gladio ceciderunt, et viduae eorum non plorabantur.	64 Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.
65 Et excitatus est tamquam dormiens Dominus, tamquam potens crapulatus a vino.	65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a strong man shouting because of wine.
66 Et percussit inimicos suos in posteriora, opprobrium sempiternum dedit illis.	66 And he put his adversaries to rout; he put them to everlasting shame.
67 Et reppulit tabernaculum Ioseph et tribum Ephraim non elegit,	67 He rejected the tent of Joseph, he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;
68 sed elegit tribum Iudae, montem Sion, quem dilexit.	68 but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loves.
69 Et aedificavit sicut excelsum sanctuarium suum, sicut terram, quam fundavit in saecula.	69 He built his sanctuary like the high heavens, like the earth, which he has founded for ever.
70 Et elegit David servum suum et sustulit eum de gregibus ovium,	70 He chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;
71 de post fetantes accepit eum: pascere Iacob populum suum et Israel hereditatem suam.	71 from tending the ewes that had young he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob his people, of Israel his inheritance.
72 Et pavit eos in innocentia cordis sui et in prudentia manuum suarum deduxit eos.	72 With upright heart he tended them, and guided them with skilful hand.
