Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Understanding for Asaph. Attend, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
1Συνέσεως τῷ Ἀσάφ. Προσέχετε λαός μου τὸν νόμον μου, κλίνατε τὸ οὖς ὑμῶν εἰς τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός μου.
2I will open my mouth in parables: I will utter propositions from the beginning.
2Ἀνοίξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὸ στόμα μου, φθέγξομαι προβλήματα ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς.
3How great things have we heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
3Ὅσα ἠκούσαμεν καὶ ἔγνωμεν αὐτὰ, καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν διηγήσαντο ἡμῖν.
4They have not been hidden from their children, in another generation. Declaring the praises of the Lord, and his powers, and his wonders which he hath done.
4Οὐκ ἐκρύβη ἀπὸ τῶν τέκνων αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰν ἑτέραν, ἀπαγγέλλοντες τὰς αἰνέσεις Κυρίου καὶ τὰς δυναστείας αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ ἃ ἐποίησε.
5And he set up a testimony in Jacob: and made a law in Israel. How great things he commanded our fathers, that they should make the same known to their children:
5Καὶ ἀνέστησε μαρτύριον ἐν Ἰακὼβ, καὶ νόμον ἔθετο ἐν Ἰσραήλ· ὃν ἐνετείλατο τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν, γνωρίσαι αὐτὸν τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν,
6That another generation might know them. The children that should be born and should rise up, and declare them to their children.
6ὅπως ἂν γνῷ γενεὰ ἑτέρα, υἱοὶ οἱ τεχθησόμενοι, καὶ ἀναστήσονται καὶ ἀπαγγελοῦσιν αὐτὰ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν·
7That they may put their hope in God and may not forget the works of God: and may seek his commandments.
7ἵνα θῶνται ἐπὶ τὸν Θεὸν τὴν ἐλπίδα αὐτῶν, καὶ μὴ ἐπιλάθωνται τῶν ἔργων τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ ἐκζητήσωσιν.
8That they may not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation. A generation that set not their heart aright: and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
8Ἵνα μὴ γένωνται ὡς οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν, γενεὰ σκολιὰ καὶ παραπικραίνουσα, γενεὰ ἥτις οὐ κατεύθυνεν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστώθη μετὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῆς.
9The sons of Ephraim who bend and shoot with the bow: they have turned back in the day of battle.
9Υἱοὶ Ἐφραὶμ ἐντεινοντες καὶ βάλλοντες τόξον, ἐστράφησαν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πολέμου.
10They kept not the covenant of God: and in his law they would not walk.
10Οὐκ ἐφύλαξαν τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἤθελον πορεύεσθαι.
11And they forgot his benefits, and his wonders that he had shewn them.
11Καὶ ἐπελάθοντο τῶν εὐεργεσιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν θαυμασίων αὐτοῦ, ὧν ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς·
12Wonderful things did he do in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Tanis.
12ἐναντίον τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν ἃ ἐποίησε θαυμάσια, ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, ἐν πεδίῳ Τάνεως.
13He divided the sea and brought them through: and he made the waters to stand as in a vessel.
13Διέῤῥηξε θάλασσαν, καὶ διήγαγεν αὐτοὺς· ἔστησεν ὕδατα ὡσεὶ ἀσκόν.
14And he conducted them with a cloud by day: and all the night with a light of fire.
14Καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν νεφέλῃ ἡμέρας, καὶ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα ἐν φωτισμῷ πυρός.
15He struck the rock in the wilderness: and gave them to drink, as out of the great deep.
15Διέῤῥηξε πέτραν ἐν ἐρήμῳ, καὶ ἐπότισεν αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐν ἀβύσσῳ πολλῇ.
16He brought forth water out of the rock: and made streams run down as rivers.
16Καὶ ἐξήγαγεν ὕδωρ ἐκ πέτρας, καὶ κατήγαγεν ὡς ποταμοὺς ὕδατα.
17And they added yet more sin against him: they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water.
17Καὶ προσέθεντο ἔτι τοῦ ἁμαρτάνειν αὐτῷ· παρεπικραναν τὸν ὕψιστον ἐν ἀνύδρῳ,
18And they tempted God in their hearts, by asking meat for their desires.
18καὶ ἐξεπείρασαν τὸν Θεὸν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν, τοῦ αἰτῆσαι βρώματα ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν.
19And they spoke ill of God: they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
19Καὶ κατελάλησαν τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ εἶπαν, μὴ δυνήσεται ὁ Θεὸς ἑτοιμάσαι τράπεζαν ἐν ἐρήμῳ;
20Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can he also give bread, or provide a table for his people?
20Ἐπεὶ ἐπάταξε πέτραν, καὶ ἐῤῥύησαν ὕδατα, καὶ χείμαῤῥοι κατεκλύσθησαν· μὴ καὶ ἄρτον δυνήσεται δοῦναι; ἢ ἑτοιμάσαι τράπεζαν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ;
21Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel.
21Διὰ τοῦτο ἤκουσε Κύριος καὶ ἀνεβάλετο, καὶ πῦρ ἀνήφθη ἐν Ἰακὼβ, καὶ ὀργὴ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
22Because they believed not in God: and trusted not in his salvation.
22Ὅτι οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν ἐν τῷ Θεῷ, οὐδὲ ἤλπισαν ἐπὶ τὸ σωτήριον αὐτοῦ.
23And he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of heaven.
23Καὶ ἐνετείλατο νεφέλαις ὑπεράνωθεν, καὶ θύρας οὐρανοῦ ἀνέῳξε·
24And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the bread of heaven.
24καὶ ἔβρεξεν αὐτοῖς μάννα φαγεῖν, καὶ ἄρτον οὐρανοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς.
25Man ate the bread of angels: he sent them provisions in abundance.
25Ἄρτον ἀγγέλων ἔφαγεν ἄνθρωπος, ἐπισιτισμὸν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοῖς εἰς πλησμονήν.
26He removed the south wind from heaven: and by his power brought in the southwest wind.
26Ἀπῇρε Νότον ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐπήγαγεν ἐν τῇ δυναστείᾳ
27And he rained upon them flesh as dust: and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea.
27αὐτοῦ Λίβα. Καὶ ἔβρεξεν ἐπ αὐτοὺς ὡσεὶ χοῦν σάρκας, καὶ ὡσεῖ ἄμμον θαλασσῶν πετεινὰ πτερωτά.
28And they fell in the midst of their camp, round about their pavilions.
28Καὶ ἐπέπεσον εἰς μέσον τῆς παρεμβολῆς αὐτῶν, κύκλῳ τῶν σκηνωμάτων αὐτῶν.
29So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire:
29Καὶ ἐφάγοσαν καὶ ἐνεπλήσθησαν σφόδρα, καὶ τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν αὐτῶν ἤνεγκεν αὐτοῖς.
30They were not defrauded of that which they craved. As yet their meat was in their mouth:
30Οὐκ ἐστερήθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιθυμίας αὐτῶν· ἔτι τῆς βρώσεως
31And the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones amongst them, and brought down the chosen men of Israel.
31αὐτῶν οὔσης ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν, καὶ ὀργὴ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀνέβη ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν ἐν τοῖς πίοσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ συνεπόδισεν.
32In all these things they sinned still: and they believed not for his wondrous works.
32ʼΕν πᾶσι τούτοις ἥμαρτον ἔτι, καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν τοῖς
33And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years in haste.
33θαυμασίοις αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἐξέλιπον ἐν ματαιότητι αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ἔτη αὐτῶν μετὰ σπουδῆς.
34When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and came to him early in the morning.
34Ὅταν ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτοὺς, ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐπέστρεφον καὶ
35And they remembered that God was their helper: and the most high God their redeemer.
35ὤρθριζον πρὸς τὸν Θεόν. Καὶ ἐμνήσθησαν ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς βοηθὸς αὐτῶν ἐστι, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ὕψιστος λυτρωτὴς αὐτῶν ἐστι.
36And they loved him with their mouth: and with their tongue they lied unto him:
36Καὶ ἠγάπησαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν, καὶ τῇ γλώσσῃ αὐτῶν
37But their heart was not right with him: nor were they counted faithful in his covenant.
37ἐψεύσαντο αὐτῷ· ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν οὐκ εὐθεῖα μετʼ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ ἐπιστώθησαν ἐν τῇ διαθήκῃ αὐτοῦ.
38But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: and will not destroy them. And many a time did he turn away his anger: and did not kindle all his wrath.
38Αὐτὸς δέ ἐστιν οἰκτίρμων, καὶ ἱλάσεται ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ διαφθερεῖ· καὶ πληθυνεῖ τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν θυμὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐχὶ ἐκκαύσει πᾶσαν τὴν ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ.
39And he remembered that they are flesh: a wind that goeth and returneth not.
39Καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὅτι σάρξ εἰσι, πνεῦμα πορευόμενον καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστρέφον.
40How often did they provoke him in the desert: and move him to wrath in the place without water?
40Ποσάκις παρεπίκραναν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, παρώργισαν
41And they turned back and tempted God: and grieved the holy one of Israel.
41αὐτὸν ἐν γῇ ἀνύδρῳ; Καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν καὶ ἐπείρασαν τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ παρώξυναν.
42They remembered not his hand, in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them:
42Οὐκ ἐμνήσθησαν τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἡμέρας ἧς ἐλυτρώσατο αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς θλίβοντος·
43How he wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Tanis.
43Ὡς ἔθετο ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ τὰ σημεῖα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ
44And he turned their rivers into blood, and their showers that they might, not drink.
44τέρατα αὐτοῦ ἐν πεδίῳ Τάνεως· Καὶ μετέστρεψεν εἰς αἷμα τοὺς ποταμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ὀμβρήματα αὐτῶν ὅπως μὴ πίωσιν·
45He sent amongst them divers sores of flies, which devoured them: and frogs which destroyed them.
45ἐξαπέστειλεν εἰς αὐτοὺς κυνόμυιαν καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ βάτραχον, καὶ διέφθειρεν αὐτούς·
46And he gave up their fruits to the blast, and their labours to the locust.
46Καὶ ἔδωκε τῇ ἐρυσίβῃ τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς πόνους αὐτῶν τῇ ἀκρίδι.
47And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost.
47Ἀπέκτεινεν ἐν χαλάζῃ τὴν ἄμπελον αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰς συκαμίνους αὐτῶν ἐν
48And he gave up their cattle to the hail, and their stock to the fire.
48τῇ πάχνῃ. Καὶ παρέδωκεν ἐν χαλάζῃ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν, καὶ τὴν ὕπαρξιν αὐτῶν τῷ πυρί.
49And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels.
49Ἐξαπέστειλεν εἰς αὐτοὺς ὀργὴν θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ, θυμὸν καὶ ὀργὴν καὶ θλίψιν, ἀποστολὴν διʼ
50He made a way for a path to his anger: he spared not their souls from death, and their cattle he shut up in death.
50ἀγγέλων πονηρῶν. Ὡδοποίησε τρίβον τῇ ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἐφείσατο ἀπὸ θανάτου τῶν ψυχῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν
51And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.
51εἰς θάνατον συνέκλεισε. Καὶ ἐπάταξε πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἐν γῇ Αἰγυπτῳ, ἀπαρχὴν πόνων αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασι Χάμ.
52And he took away his own people as sheep: and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
52Καὶ ἀπῇρεν ὡς πρόβατα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς ὡσεὶ
53And he brought them out in hope, and they feared not: band the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
53ποίμνιον ἐν ἐρήμῳ. Καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἐλπίδι, καὶ οὐκ ἐδειλίασον, καὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτῶν ἐκάλυψε θάλασσα.
54And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: the mountain which his right hand had purchased. And he cast out the Gentiles before them: and by lot divided to them their land by a line of distribution.
54Καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ὄρος ἁγιάσματος αὐτοῦ, ὄρος τοῦτο ὃ
55And he made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
55ἐκτήσατο ἡ δεξιὰ αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἐξέβαλεν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν ἔθνη, καὶ ἐκληροδότησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν σχοινίῳ κληροδοσίας, καὶ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν αὐτῶν τὰς φυλὰς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
56Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: and they kept not his testimonies.
56Καὶ ἐπείρασαν καὶ παρεπίκραναν τὸν Θεὸν τὸν ὕψιστον, καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐφυλάξαντο.
57And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow.
57Καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν, καὶ ἠσυνθέτησαν καθὼς καὶ οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν, μετεστράφησαν εἰς τόξον στρεβλόν.
58They provoked him to anger on their hills: and moved him to jealousy with their graven things.
58Καὶ παρώργισαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν τοῖς γλυπτοῖς αὐτῶν παρεζήλωσαν αὐτόν.
59God heard, and despised them, and he reduced Israel exceedingly as it were to nothing.
59Ἤκουσεν ὁ Θεὸς καὶ ὑπερεῖδε, καὶ ἐξουδένωσε σφόδρα τὸν
60And he put away the tabernacle of Silo, his tabernacle where he dwelt among men.
60ʼΙσραήλ. Καὶ ἀπώσατο τὴν σκηνὴν Σηλὼμ, σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ
61And he delivered their strength into captivity: and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.
61οὗ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν ἀνθρώποις. Καὶ παρέδωκεν εἰς αἰχμαλωσίαν τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὴν καλλονὴν αὐτῶν εἰς χεῖρα
62And he shut up his people under the sword: and he despised his inheritance.
62ἐχθρου. Καὶ συνέκλεισεν εἰς ῥομφαίαν τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ ὑπερεῖδε·
63Fire consumed their young men: and their maidens were not lamented.
63Τοὺς νεανίσκους αὐτῶν κατέφαγε πῦρ, καὶ αἱ παρθένοι αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐπένθησαν. Οἱ
64Their priests fell by the sword: and their widows did not mourn.
64ἱερεῖς αὐτῶν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἔπεσον, καὶ αἱ χῆραι αὐτῶν οὐ κλαυσθήσονται.
65And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine.
65Καὶ ἐξηγέρθη ὡς ὁ ὑπνῶν Κύριος, ὡς δυνατὸς κεκραιπαληκὼς
66And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts: he put them to an everlasting reproach.
66ἐξ οἴνου. Καὶ ἐπάταξε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, ὄνειδος αἰώνιον ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς.
67And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
67Καὶ ἀπώσατο τὸ σκήνωμα Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ τὴν φυλὴν Ἐφραὶμ
68But he chose the tribe of Juda, mount Sion which he loved.
68οὐκ ἐξελέξατο. Καὶ ἐξελέξατο τὴν φυλὴν Ἰούδα, τὸ ὄρος τὸ
69And he built his sanctuary as of unicorns, in the land which he founded for ever.
69Σιὼν, ὃ ἠγάπησε. Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ὡς μονοκερώτων τὸ ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
70And he chose his servant David, and took him from the hocks of sheep: he brought him from following the ewes great with young,
70Καὶ ἐξελέξατο Δαυὶδ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέλαβεν αὐτὸν ἐκ τῶν
71To feed Jacob his servant, and Israel his inheritance.
71ποιμνίων τῶν προβάτων. Ἐξόπισθεν τῶν λοχευομένων ἔλαβεν αὐτὸν, ποιμαίνειν Ἰακὼβ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ, καὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὴν
72And he fed them in the innocence of his heart: and conducted them by the skillfulness of his hands.
72κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἐποίμανεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἀκακίᾳ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῇ συνέσει τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ, ὡδήγησεν αὐτούς.
