|
|
ΤΑ ΕΛΕΗ σου, Κύριε, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ᾄσομαι, εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεὰν ἀπαγγελῶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου ἐν τῷ στόματί μου,
|
I will sing of thy mercies, O Lord, for ever: I will declare thy truth with my mouth to all generations.
|
|
3
|
3
|
|
ὅτι εἶπας· εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔλεος οἰκοδομηθήσεται· ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς ἑτοιμασθήσεται ἡ ἀλήθειά σου·
|
For thou hast said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy truth shall be established in the heavens.
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
διεθέμην διαθήκην τοῖς ἐκλεκτοῖς μου, ὤμοσα Δαυΐδ τῷ δούλῳ μου·
|
I made a covenant with my chosen ones, I sware unto David my servant.
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος ἑτοιμάσω τὸ σπέρμα σου καὶ οἰκοδομήσω εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεὰν τὸν θρόνον σου. (διάψαλμα).
|
I will establish thy seed for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Pause.
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
ἐξομολογήσονται οἱ οὐρανοὶ τὰ θαυμάσιά σου, Κύριε, καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ ἁγίων.
|
The heavens shall declare thy wonders, O Lord; and thy truth in the assembly of the saints.
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
ὅτι τίς ἐν νεφέλαις ἰσωθήσεται τῷ Κυρίῳ; καὶ τίς ὁμοιωθήσεται τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν υἱοῖς Θεοῦ;
|
For who in the heavens shall be compared to the Lord? and who shall be likened to the Lord among the sons of God?
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
ὁ Θεὸς ἐνδοξαζόμενος ἐν βουλῇ ἁγίων, μέγας καὶ φοβερὸς ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς περικύκλῳ αὐτοῦ.
|
God is glorified in the council of the saints; great and terrible toward all that are round about him.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων, τίς ὅμοιός σοι; δυνατὸς εἶ, Κύριε, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθειά σου κύκλῳ σου.
|
O Lord God of hosts, who is like to thee? thou art mighty, O Lord, and thy truth is round about thee.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
σὺ δεσπόζεις τοῦ κράτους τῆς θαλάσσης, τὸν δὲ σάλον τῶν κυμάτων αὐτῆς σὺ καταπραΰνεις.
|
Thou rulest the power of the sea; and thou calmest the tumult of its waves.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
σὺ ἐταπείνωσας ὡς τραυματίαν ὑπερήφανον, ἐν τῷ βραχίονι τῆς δυνάμεώς σου διεσκόρπισας τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου.
|
Thou hast brought down the proud as one that is slain; and with the arm of thy power thou hast scattered thine enemies.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
σοί εἰσιν οἱ οὐρανοί, καὶ σή ἐστιν ἡ γῆ· τὴν οἰκουμένην καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς σὺ ἐθεμελίωσας.
|
The heavens are thine, and the earth is thine: thou hast founded the world, and the fulness of it.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
τὸν βορρᾶν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν σὺ ἔκτισας, Θαβὼρ καὶ ῾Ερμὼν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἀγαλλιάσονται.
|
Thou hast created the north and the west: Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
σὸς ὁ βραχίων μετὰ δυναστείας· κραταιωθήτω ἡ χείρ σου, ὑψωθήτω ἡ δεξιά σου.
|
Thine is the mighty arm: let thy hand be strengthened, let thy right hand be exalted.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
δικαιοσύνη καὶ κρίμα ἑτοιμασία τοῦ θρόνου σου, ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθεια προπορεύσονται πρὸ προσώπου σου.
|
Justice and judgment are the establishment of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
μακάριος ὁ λαὸς ὁ γινώσκων ἀλαλαγμόν· Κύριε, ἐν τῷ φωτὶ τοῦ προσώπου σου πορεύσονται
|
Blessed is the people that knows the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἀγαλλιάσονται ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν καὶ ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου ὑψωθήσονται.
|
And in thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
ὅτι καύχημα τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν σὺ εἶ, καὶ ἐν τῇ εὐδοκίᾳ σου ὑψωθήσεται τὸ κέρας ἡμῶν.
|
For thou art the boast of their strength; and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted,
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
ὅτι τοῦ Κυρίου ἡ ἀντίληψις καὶ τοῦ ἁγίου ᾿Ισραὴλ βασιλέως ἡμῶν.
|
for our help is of the Lord; and of the Holy One of Israel, our king.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
τότε ἐλάλησας ἐν ὁράσει τοῖς υἱοῖς σου καὶ εἶπας· ἐθέμην βοήθειαν ἐπὶ δυνατόν, ὕψωσα ἐκλεκτὸν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ μου·
|
Then thou spokest in vision to thy children, and saidst, I have laid help on a mighty one; I have exalted one chosen out of my people.
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
εὗρον Δαυΐδ τὸν δοῦλόν μου, ἐν ἐλέει ἁγίῳ μου ἔχρισα αὐτόν.
|
I have found David my servant; I have anointed him by my holy mercy.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
ἡ γὰρ χείρ μου συναντιλήψεται αὐτῷ καὶ ὁ βραχίων μου κατισχύσει αὐτόν·
|
For my hand shall support him; and mine arm shall strengthen him.
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
οὐκ ὠφελήσει ἐχθρὸς ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ υἱὸς ἀνομίας οὐ προσθήσει τοῦ κακῶσαι αὐτόν.
|
The enemy shall have no advantage against him; and the son of transgression shall not hurt him again.
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
καὶ συγκόψω ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς μισοῦντας αὐτὸν τροπώσομαι.
|
And I will hew down his foes before him, and put to flight those that hate him.
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
καὶ ἡ ἀλήθειά μου καὶ τὸ ἔλεός μου μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου ὑψωθήσεται τὸ κέρας αὐτοῦ.
|
But my truth and my mercy shall be with him; and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
καὶ θήσομαι ἐν θαλάσσῃ χεῖρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ποταμοῖς δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ.
|
And I will set his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
|
|
27
|
27
|
|
αὐτὸς ἐπικαλέσεταί με· πατήρ μου εἶ σύ, Θεός μου καὶ ἀντιλήπτωρ τῆς σωτηρίας μου·
|
He shall call upon me, saying, Thou art my Father, my God, and the helper of my salvation.
|
|
28
|
28
|
|
κἀγὼ πρωτότοκον θήσομαι αὐτόν, ὑψηλὸν παρὰ τοῖς βασιλεῦσι τῆς γῆς.
|
And I will make him my first-born, higher than the kings of the earth.
|
|
29
|
29
|
|
εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα φυλάξω αὐτῷ τὸ ἔλεός μου, καὶ ἡ διαθήκη μου πιστὴ αὐτῷ·
|
I will keep my mercy for him for ever, and my covenant shall be firm with him.
|
|
30
|
30
|
|
καὶ θήσομαι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ ὡς τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
|
And I will establish his seed for ever and ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
|
|
31
|
31
|
|
ἐὰν ἐγκαταλίπωσιν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τὸν νόμον μου καὶ τοῖς κρίμασί μου μὴ πορευθῶσιν,
|
If his children should forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
|
|
32
|
32
|
|
ἐὰν τὰ δικαιώματά μου βεβηλώσωσι καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς μου μὴ φυλάξωσιν,
|
if they should profane my ordinances, and not keep my commandments;
|
|
33
|
33
|
|
ἐπισκέψομαι ἐν ῥάβδῳ τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν μάστιξι τὰς ἀδικίας αὐτῶν·
|
I will visit their transgressions with a rod, and their sins with scourges.
|
|
34
|
34
|
|
τὸ δὲ ἔλεός μου οὐ μὴ διασκεδάσω ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν, οὐδ᾿ οὐ μὴ ἀδικήσω ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ μου,
|
But my mercy I will not utterly remove from him, nor wrong my truth.
|
|
35
|
35
|
|
οὐδ᾿ οὐ μὴ βεβηλώσω τὴν διαθήκην μου καὶ τὰ ἐκπορευόμενα διὰ τῶν χειλέων μου οὐ μὴ ἀθετήσω.
|
Neither will I by any means profane my covenant; and I will not make void the things that proceed out of my lips.
|
|
36
|
36
|
|
ἅπαξ ὤμοσα ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ μου, εἰ τῷ Δαυΐδ ψεύσομαι·
|
Once have I sworn by my holiness, that I will not lie to David.
|
|
37
|
37
|
|
τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μενεῖ καὶ ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ ὡς ὁ ἥλιος ἐναντίον μου
|
His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me;
|
|
38
|
38
|
|
καὶ ὡς ἡ σελήνη κατηρτισμένη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· καὶ ὁ μάρτυς ἐν οὐρανῷ πιστός. (διάψαλμα).
|
and as the moon that is established for ever, and as the faithful witness in heaven. Pause.
|
|
39
|
39
|
|
σὺ δὲ ἀπώσω καὶ ἐξουδένωσας, ἀνεβάλου τὸν χριστόν σου·
|
But thou hast cast off and set at nought, thou hast rejected thine anointed.
|
|
40
|
40
|
|
κατέστρεψας τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ δούλου σου, ἐβεβήλωσας εἰς τὴν γῆν τὸ ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ.
|
Thou hast overthrown the covenant of thy servant; thou hast profaned his sanctuary, casting it to the ground.
|
|
41
|
41
|
|
καθεῖλες πάντας τοὺς φραγμοὺς αὐτοῦ, ἔθου τὰ ὀχυρώματα αὐτοῦ δειλίαν·
|
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast made his strong holds a terror.
|
|
42
|
42
|
|
διήρπασαν αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ διοδεύοντες ὁδόν, ἐγενήθη ὄνειδος τοῖς γείτοσιν αὐτοῦ.
|
All that go by the way have spoiled him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours.
|
|
43
|
43
|
|
ὕψωσας τὴν δεξιὰν τῶν θλιβόντων αὐτόν, εὔφρανας πάντας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ.
|
Thou hast exalted the right hand of his enemies; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
|
|
44
|
44
|
|
ἀπέστρεψας τὴν βοήθειαν τῆς ῥομφαίας αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀντελάβου αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ.
|
Thou hast turned back the help of his sword, and hast not helped him in the battle.
|
|
45
|
45
|
|
κατέλυσας ἀπὸ καθαρισμοῦ αὐτοῦ, τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν γῆν κατέρραξας.
|
Thou hast deprived him of glory: thou hast broken down his throne to the ground.
|
|
46
|
46
|
|
ἐσμίκρυνας τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ χρόνου αὐτοῦ, κατέχεας αὐτοῦ αἰσχύνην. (διάψαλμα).
|
Thou hast shortened the days of his throne: thou hast poured shame upon him. Pause.
|
|
47
|
47
|
|
ἕως πότε, Κύριε, ἀποστρέφῃ εἰς τέλος, ἐκκαυθήσεται ὡς πῦρ ἡ ὀργή σου;
|
How long, O Lord, wilt thou turn away, for ever? shall thine anger flame out as fire?
|
|
48
|
48
|
|
μνήσθητι τίς μου ἡ ὑπόστασις· μὴ γὰρ ματαίως ἔκτισας πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων;
|
Remember what my being is: for hast thou created all the sons of men in vain?
|
|
49
|
49
|
|
τίς ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος, ὃς ζήσεται, καὶ οὐκ ὄψεται θάνατον; ῥύσεται τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐκ χειρὸς ᾅδου; (διάψαλμα).
|
What man is there who shall live, and not see death? shall any one deliver his soul from the hand of Hades? Pause.
|
|
50
|
50
|
|
ποῦ ἐστι τὰ ἐλέη σου τὰ ἀρχαῖα, Κύριε, ἃ ὤμοσας τῷ Δαυΐδ ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου;
|
Where are thine ancient mercies, O Lord, which thou swarest to David in thy truth?
|
|
51
|
51
|
|
μνήσθητι, Κύριε, τοῦ ὀνειδισμοῦ τῶν δούλων σου, οὗ ὑπέσχον ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ πολλῶν ἐθνῶν,
|
Remember, O Lord, the reproach of thy servants, which I have borne in my bosom, even the reproach of many nations;
|
|
52
|
52
|
|
οὗ ὠνείδισαν οἱ ἐχθροί σου, Κύριε, οὗ ὠνείδισαν τὸ ἀντάλλαγμα τοῦ χριστοῦ σου.
|
wherewith thine enemies have reviled, O Lord: wherewith they have reviled the recompence of thine anointed.
|
|
53
|
53
|
|
εὐλογητὸς Κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. γένοιτο γένοιτο.
|
Blessed be the Lord for ever. So be it, so be it.
|
