Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
1ΚΑΙ εἰσήνεγκαν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἀπηρείσαντο αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ τῆς σκηνῆς, ἧς ἔπηξεν αὐτῇ Δαυίδ, καὶ προσήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ σωτηρίου ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ.
2When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name.
2καὶ συνετέλεσε Δαυὶδ ἀναφέρων ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ σωτηρίου καὶ εὐλόγησε τὸν λαὸν ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου.
3He gave to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
3καὶ διεμέρισε παντὶ ἀνδρὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς καὶ ἕως γυναικός, τῷ ἀνδρὶ ἄρτον ἕνα ἀρτοκοπικὸν καὶ ἀμορίτην.
4He appointed some of the Levites to minister before the LORD’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel:
4καὶ ἔταξε κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς κιβωτοῦ διαθήκης Κυρίου ἐκ τῶν Λευιτῶν λειτουργοῦντας ἀναφωνοῦντας καὶ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι καὶ αἰνεῖν Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσραήλ·
5Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
5Ἀσὰφ ὁ ἡγούμενος, καὶ δευτερεύων αὐτῷ Ζαχαρίας, Ἰεϊήλ, Σεμιραμώθ, Ἰεϊήλ, Ματταθίας, Ἐλιὰβ καὶ Βαναίας, καὶ Ἀβδεδὸμ καὶ Ἰεϊὴλ ἐν ὀργάνοις, νάβλαις, κινύραις, καὶ Ἀσὰφ ἐν κυμβάλοις ἀναφωνῶν.
6with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
6καὶ Βαναίας καὶ Ὀζιὴλ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐν ταῖς σάλπιγξι διαπαντὸς ἐναντίον τῆς κιβωτοῦ τῆς διαθήκης τοῦ Θεοῦ.
7Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
7Ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνη τότε ἔταξε Δαυὶδ ἐν ἀρχῇ τοῦ αἰνεῖν τὸν Κύριον ἐν χειρὶ Ἀσὰφ καὶ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ.
8Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.
8†ΔΗ. Ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἐπικαλεῖσθε αὐτὸν ἐν ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ, γνωρίσατε ἐν λαοῖς τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ.
9Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
9ᾄσατε αὐτῷ καὶ ὑμνήσατε αὐτῷ, διηγήσασθε πᾶσι τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ, ἃ ἐποίησε Κύριος.
10Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
10αἰνεῖτε ἐν ὀνόματι ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ, εὐφρανθήσεται καρδία ζητοῦσα τὴν εὐδοκίαν αὐτοῦ.
11Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
11ζητήσατε τὸν Κύριον καὶ ἰσχύσατε, ζητήσατε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ διαπαντός.
12Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
12μνημονεύετε τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ, ἃ ἐποίησε, τέρατα καὶ κρίματα τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ.
13you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
13σπέρμα Ἰσραὴλ παῖδες αὐτοῦ, υἱοὶ Ἰακὼβ ἐκλεκτοὶ αὐτοῦ.
14He is the LORD our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
14αὐτὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ.
15Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
15μνημονεύων εἰς αἰῶνα διαθήκης αὐτοῦ, λόγον αὐτοῦ, ὃν ἐνετείλατο εἰς χιλίας γενεάς,
16the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
16ὃν διέθετο τῷ Ἁβραὰμ καὶ τὸν ὅρκον αὐτοῦ τῷ Ἰσαάκ·
17He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
17ἔστησεν αὐτὸν τῷ Ἰακὼβ εἰς πρόσταγμα, τῷ Ἰσραὴλ διαθήκην αἰώνιον
18saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
18λέγων· σοὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν Χαναὰν σχοίνισμα κληρονομίας ὑμῶν.
19when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
19ἐν τῷ γενέσθαι αὐτοὺς ὀλιγοστοὺς ἀριθμῷ ὡς ἐσμικρύνθησαν καὶ παρῴκησαν ἐν αὐτῇ.
20They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
20καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἀπὸ ἔθνους εἰς ἔθνος καὶ ἀπὸ βασιλείας εἰς λαὸν ἕτερον.
21He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
21οὐκ ἀφῆκεν ἄνδρα τοῦ δυναστεῦσαι αὐτοὺς καὶ ἤλεγξε περὶ αὐτῶν βασιλεῖς·
22“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
22μὴ ἅψησθε τῶν χριστῶν μου καὶ ἐν τοῖς προφήταις μου μὴ πονηρεύεσθε.
23Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
23ᾄσατε τῷ Κυρίῳ, πᾶσα ἡ γῆ, ἀναγγείλατε ἐξ ἡμέρας εἰς ἡμέραν σωτηρίαν αὐτοῦ.
24Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.
24ἐξηγεῖσθε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς λαοῖς τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ.
25For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
25ὅτι μέγας Κύριος καὶ αἰνετὸς σφόδρα, φοβερός ἐστιν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς θεούς.
26For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
26ὅτι πάντες οἱ θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν εἴδωλα, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν οὐρανοὺς ἐποίησε.
27Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
27δόξα καὶ ἔπαινος κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, ἰσχὺς καὶ καύχημα ἐν τόπῳ αὐτοῦ.
28Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
28δότε τῷ Κυρίῳ αἱ πατριαὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν, δότε τῷ Κυρίῳ δόξαν καὶ ἰσχύν·
29Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship the LORD in holy array.
29δότε τῷ Κυρίῳ δόξαν ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ, λάβετε δῶρα καὶ ἐνέγκατε κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ προσκυνήσατε Κυρίῳ ἐν αὐλαῖς ἁγίαις αὐτοῦ.
30Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
30φοβηθήτω ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ, κατορθωθήτω ἡ γῆ καὶ μὴ σαλευθήτω·
31Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!”
31εὐφρανθήτω ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἀγαλλιάσθω ἡ γῆ, καὶ εἰπάτωσαν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι· Κύριος βασιλεύων.
32Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
32βομβήσει ἡ θάλασσα σὺν τῷ πληρώματι καὶ ξύλον ἀγροῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτῷ·
33Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
33τότε εὐφρανθήσεται τὰ ξύλα τοῦ δρυμοῦ ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου, ὅτι ἦλθε κρῖναι τὴν γῆν.
34Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
34ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι ἀγαθόν, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ.
35Say, “Save us, God of our salvation! Gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise.”
35καὶ εἴπατε· σῶσον ἡμᾶς, ὁ Θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας ἡμῶν, καὶ ἄθροισον ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν τοῦ αἰνεῖν τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιόν σου καὶ καυχᾶσθαι ἐν ταῖς αἰνέσεσί σου.
36Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.
36εὐλογημένος Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος· καὶ ἐρεῖ πᾶς ὁ λαός· ἀμήν. καὶ ᾔνεσαν τῷ Κυρίῳ.
37So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the LORD’s covenant, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;
37Καὶ κατέλιπον ἐκεῖ ἔναντι τῆς κιβωτοῦ διαθήκης Κυρίου τὸν Ἀσὰφ καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ τοῦ λειτουργεῖν ἐναντίον τῆς κιβωτοῦ διαπαντὸς τὸ τῆς ἡμέρας εἰς ἡμέραν.
38and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
38καὶ Ἀβδεδὸμ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, ἑξήκοντα καὶ ὀκτώ, καὶ Ἀβδεδὸμ υἱὸς Ἰδιθοὺν καὶ Ὀσσὰ εἰς πυλωρούς.
39and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before the LORD’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,
39καὶ τὸν Σαδὼκ τὸν ἱερέα καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἐναντίον τῆς σκηνῆς Κυρίου ἐν Βαμὰ τῇ ἐν Γαβαὼν
40to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the LORD’s law, which he commanded to Israel;
40τοῦ ἀναφέρειν ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐπὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τῶν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων διαπαντὸς τὸ πρωΐ καὶ τὸ ἑσπέρας καὶ κατὰ πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν νόμῳ Κυρίου ὅσα ἐνετείλατο ἐφ᾿ υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ τοῦ θεράποντος τοῦ Θεοῦ·
41and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his loving kindness endures forever;
41καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ Αἰμὰν καὶ Ἰδιθοὺν καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ ἐκλεγέντες ἐπ᾿ ὀνόματος τοῦ αἰνεῖν τὸν Κύριον, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ,
42and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.
42καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτῶν σάλπιγγες καὶ κύμβαλα τοῦ ἀναφωνεῖν καὶ ὄργανα τῶν ᾠδῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ, οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ Ἰδιθοὺν εἰς τὴν πύλην.
43All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
43καὶ ἐπορεύθη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψε Δαυὶδ τοῦ εὐλογῆσαι τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
