by Septuagint
[12] καὶ οἱ τάφοι αὐτῶν οἰκίαι αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, σκηνώματα αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν. ἐπεκαλέσαντο τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τῶν γαιῶν αὐτῶν.
[12] And their sepulchres are their houses for ever, even their tabernacles to all generations: they have called their lands after their own names.
[13] καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἐν τιμῇ ὢν οὐ συνῆκε, παρασυνεβλήθη τοῖς κτήνεσι τοῖς ἀνοήτοις καὶ ὡμοιώθη αὐτοῖς.
[13] And man being in honour, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like to them.
[14] αὕτη ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτῶν σκάνδαλον αὐτοῖς, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν εὐδοκήσουσι. (διάψαλμα).
[14] This their way is an offence to them: yet afterwards men will commend their sayings. (Pause).
[15] ὡς πρόβατα ἐν ᾅδῃ ἔθεντο, θάνατος ποιμανεῖ αὐτούς· καὶ κατακυριεύσουσιν αὐτῶν οἱ εὐθεῖς τὸ πρωΐ, καὶ ἡ βοήθεια αὐτῶν παλαιωθήσεται ἐν τῷ ᾅδῃ, ἐκ τῆς δόξης αὐτῶν ἐξώσθησαν.
[15] They have laid them as sheep in Hades; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning, and their help shall fail in Hades from their glory.
[16] πλὴν ὁ Θεὸς λυτρώσεται τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ χειρὸς ᾅδου, ὅταν λαμβάνῃ με. (διάψαλμα).
[16] But God shall deliver my soul from the power of Hades, when he shall receive me. (Pause).
[17] μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅταν πλουτήσῃ ἄνθρωπος καὶ ὅταν πληθυνθῇ ἡ δόξα τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ·
[17] Fear not when a man is enriched, and when the glory of his house is increased.
[18] ὅτι οὐκ ἐν τῷ ἀποθνήσκειν αὐτὸν λήψεται τὰ πάντα, οὐδὲ συγκαταβήσεται αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα αὐτοῦ.
[18] For he shall take nothing when he dies; neither shall his glory descend with him.
[19] ὅτι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ εὐλογηθήσεται· ἐξομολογήσεταί σοι, ὅταν ἀγαθύνῃς αὐτῷ.
[19] For his soul shall be blessed in his life: he shall give thanks to thee when thou dost well to him.
[20] εἰσελεύσεται ἕως γενεᾶς πατέρων αὐτοῦ, ἕως αἰῶνος οὐκ ὄψεται φῶς.
[20] Yet he shall go in to the generation of his fathers; he shall never see light.
[21] καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἐν τιμῇ ὢν οὐ συνῆκε, παρασυνεβλήθη τοῖς κτήνεσι τοῖς ἀνοήτοις καὶ ὡμοιώθη αὐτοῖς.
[21] Man that is in honour, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like them.
Ψαλμός 49
Psalm 49
Ψαλμὸς τῷ Ἀσάφ.
A Psalm for Asaph.
ΘΕΟΣ θεῶν Κύριος ἐλάλησε καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὴν γῆν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου μέχρι δυσμῶν.
The God of gods, the Lord, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof.
[2] ἐκ Σιὼν ἡ εὐπρέπεια τῆς ὡραιότητος αὐτοῦ,
[2] Out of Sion comes the excellence of his beauty.
[3] ὁ Θεὸς ἐμφανῶς ἥξει, ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐ παρασιωπήσεται· πῦρ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καυθήσεται, καὶ κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ καταιγὶς σφόδρα.
[3] God, our God, shall come manifestly, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall be kindled before him, and round about him there shall be a very great tempest.
[4] προσκαλέσεται τὸν οὐρανὸν ἄνω καὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ διακρῖναι τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ·
[4] He shall summon the heaven above, and the earth, that he may judge his people.
[5] συναγάγετε αὐτῷ τοὺς ὁσίους αὐτοῦ, τοὺς διατιθεμένους τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ θυσίαις,
[5] Assemble ye his saints to him, those that have engaged in a covenant with him upon sacrifices.
[6] καὶ ἀναγγελοῦσιν οἱ οὐρανοὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς κριτής ἐστι. (διάψαλμα).
[6] And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge. (Pause).
[7] ἄκουσον, λαός μου, καὶ λαλήσω σοι, Ἰσραήλ, καὶ διαμαρτύρομαί σοι· ὁ Θεὸς ὁ Θεός σού εἰμι ἐγώ.
[7] Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel: and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.
[8] οὐκ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις σου ἐλέγξω σε, τὰ δὲ ὁλοκαυτώματά σου ἐνώπιόν μου ἐστὶ διαπαντός.
[8] I will not reprove thee on account of thy sacrifices; for thy whole-burnt-offerings are before me continually.
[9] οὐ δέξομαι ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου σου μόσχους οὐδὲ ἐκ τῶν ποιμνίων σου χιμάρους.
[9] I will take no bullocks out of thine house, nor he-goats out of thy flocks.
[10] ὅτι ἐμά ἐστι πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ δρυμοῦ, κτήνη ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσι καὶ βόες·
[10] For all the wild beasts of the thicket are mine, the cattle on the mountains, and oxen.
[11] ἔγνωκα πάντα τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ὡραιότης ἀγροῦ μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν.
[11] I know all the birds of the sky; and the beauty of the field is mine.
[12] ἐὰν πεινάσω, οὐ μή σοι εἴπω· ἐμὴ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ οἰκουμένη καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς.
[12] If I should be hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness of it.
[13] μὴ φάγομαι κρέα ταύρων, ἢ αἷμα τράγων πίομαι;
[13] Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
[14] θῦσον τῷ Θεῷ θυσίαν αἰνέσεως καὶ ἀπόδος τῷ Ὑψίστῳ τὰς εὐχάς σου·
[14] Offer to God the sacrifice of praise; and pay thy vows to the Most High.
[15] καὶ ἐπικάλεσαί με ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς σου, καὶ ἐξελοῦμαί σε, καὶ δοξάσεις με. (διάψαλμα).
[15] And call upon me in the day of affliction; and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. (Pause).
[16] τῷ δὲ ἁμαρτωλῷ εἶπεν ὁ Θεός· ἱνατί σὺ διηγῇ τὰ δικαιώματά μου καὶ ἀναλαμβάνεις τὴν διαθήκην μου διὰ στόματός σου;
[16] But to the sinner God has said, Why dost thou declare my ordinances, and take up my covenant in thy mouth?
[17] σὺ δὲ ἐμίσησας παιδείαν καὶ ἐξέβαλες τοὺς λόγους μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω.
[17] Whereas thou hast hated instruction, and hast cast my words behind thee.
[18] εἰ ἐθεώρεις κλέπτην, συνέτρεχες αὐτῷ, καὶ μετὰ μοιχοῦ τὴν μερίδα σου ἐτίθεις.
[18] If thou sawest a thief, thou rannest along with him, and hast cast in thy lot with adulterers.
&nbs
p; [19] τὸ στόμα σου ἐπλεόνασε κακίαν, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσά σου περιέπλεκε δολιότητα·
[19] Thy mouth has multiplied wickedness, and thy tongue has framed deceit.
[20] καθήμενος κατὰ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου κατελάλεις καὶ κατὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς μητρός σου ἐτίθεις σκάνδαλον.
[20] Thou didst sit and speak against thy brother, and didst scandalize thy mother’s son.
[21] ταῦτα ἐποίησας, καὶ ἐσίγησα· ὑπέλαβες ἀνομίαν, ὅτι ἔσομαί σοι ὅμοιος· ἐλέγξω σε καὶ παραστήσω κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου τὰς ἁμαρτίας σου.
[21] These things thou didst, and I kept silence: thou thoughtest wickedly that I should be like thee, but I will reprove thee, and set thine offences before thee.
[22] σύνετε δὴ ταῦτα, οἱ ἐπιλανθανόμενοι τοῦ Θεοῦ, μήποτε ἁρπάσῃ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ᾖ ὁ ῥυόμενος.
[22] Now consider these things, ye that forget God, lest he rend you, and there is no deliverer.
[23] θυσία αἰνέσεως δοξάσει με, καὶ ἐκεῖ ὁδός, ᾗ δείξω αὐτῷ τὸ σωτήριόν μου.
[23] The sacrifice of praise will glorify me: and that is the way wherein I will shew to him the salvation of God.
Ψαλμός 50
Psalm 50
Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ 2 ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς αὐτὸν Νάθαν τὸν προφήτην, ἡνίκα εἰσῆλθε πρὸς Βηρσαβεέ.
For the end, a Psalm of David, 2 when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Bersabee.
[3] ΕΛΕΗΣΟΝ με, ὁ Θεός, κατὰ τὸ μέγα ἔλεός σου καὶ κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου ἐξάλειψον τὸ ἀνόμημά μου·
[3] Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgression.
[4] ἐπὶ πλεῖον πλῦνόν με ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας μου καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας μου καθάρισόν με.
[4] Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
[5] ὅτι τὴν ἀνομίαν μου ἐγὼ γινώσκω, καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία μου ἐνώπιόν μού ἐστι διαπαντός.
[5] For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.
[6] σοὶ μόνῳ ἥμαρτον καὶ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιόν σου ἐποίησα, ὅπως ἂν δικαιωθῇς ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου, καὶ νικήσῃς ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαί σε.
[6] Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil before thee: that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
[7] ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἐν ἀνομίαις συνελήφθην, καὶ ἐν ἁμαρτίαις ἐκίσσησέ με ἡ μήτηρ μου.
[7] For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.
[8] ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀλήθειαν ἠγάπησας, τὰ ἄδηλα καὶ τὰ κρύφια τῆς σοφίας σου ἐδήλωσάς μοι.
[8] For, behold, thou lovest truth: thou hast manifested to me the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom.
[9] ῥαντιεῖς με ὑσσώπῳ, καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι, πλυνεῖς με, καὶ ὑπὲρ χιόνα λευκανθήσομαι.
[9] Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
[10] ἀκουτιεῖς μοι ἀγαλλίασιν καὶ εὐφροσύνην, ἀγαλλιάσονται ὀστέα τεταπεινωμένα.
[10] Thou shalt cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.
[11] ἀπόστρεψον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου καὶ πάσας τὰς ἀνομίας μου ἐξάλειψον.
[11] Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
[12] καρδίαν καθαρὰν κτίσον ἐν ἐμοί, ὁ Θεός, καὶ πνεῦμα εὐθὲς ἐγκαίνισον ἐν τοῖς ἐγκάτοις μου.
[12] Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.
[13] μὴ ἀποῤῥίψῃς με ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου καὶ τὸ πνεῦμά σου τὸ ἅγιον μὴ ἀντανέλῃς ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ.
[13] Cast me not away from thy presence; and remove not thy holy Spirit from me.
[14] ἀπόδος μοι τὴν ἀγαλλίασιν τοῦ σωτηρίου σου καὶ πνεύματι ἡγεμονικῷ στήριξόν με.
[14] Restore to me the joy of thy salvation: establish me with thy directing Spirit.
[15] διδάξω ἀνόμους τὰς ὁδούς σου, καὶ ἀσεβεῖς ἐπὶ σὲ ἐπιστρέψουσι.
[15] Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and ungodly men shall turn to thee.
[16] ῥῦσαί με ἐξ αἱμάτων, ὁ Θεὸς ὁ Θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας μου· ἀγαλλιάσεται ἡ γλῶσσά μου τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου.
[16] Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: and my tongue shall joyfully declare thy righteousness.
[17] Κύριε, τὰ χείλη μου ἀνοίξεις, καὶ τὸ στόμα μου ἀναγγελεῖ τὴν αἴνεσίν σου.
[17] O Lord, thou shalt open my lips; and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
[18] ὅτι εἰ ἠθέλησας θυσίαν, ἔδωκα ἄν· ὁλοκαυτώματα οὐκ εὐδοκήσεις.
[18] For if thou desiredst sacrifice, I would have given it: thou wilt not take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings.
[19] θυσία τῷ Θεῷ πνεῦμα συντετριμμένον, καρδίαν συντετριμμένην καὶ τεταπεινωμένην ὁ Θεὸς οὐκ ἐξουδενώσει.
[19] Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.
[20] ἀγάθυνον, Κύριε, ἐν τῇ εὐδοκίᾳ σου τὴν Σιών, καὶ οἰκοδομηθήτω τὰ τείχη Ἱερουσαλήμ·
[20] Do good, O Lord, to Sion in thy good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
[21] τότε εὐδοκήσεις θυσίαν δικαιοσύνης, ἀναφορὰν καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα· τότε ἀνοίσουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριόν σου μόσχους.
[21] Then shalt thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole-burnt-sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar.
Ψαλμός 51
Psalm 51
Εἰς τὸ τέλος· συνέσεως τῷ Δαυΐδ· 2 ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν Δωὴκ τὸν Ἰδουμαῖον καὶ ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ Σαοὺλ καὶ εἰπεῖν αὐτῷ· ἦλθε Δαυΐδ εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ἀβιμέλεχ.
For the end, a Psalm of instruction by David, when Doec the Idumean came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Abimelech.
[3] ΤΙ ΕΓΚΑΥΧᾼ ἐν κακίᾳ, ὁ δυνατός, ἀνομίαν ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν;
[3] Why dost thou, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in thy mischief? All the day
[4] ἀδικίαν ἐλογίσατο ἡ γλῶσσά σου· ὡσεὶ ξυρὸν ἠκονημένον ἐποίησας δόλον
.
[4] thy tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor thou hast wrought deceit.
[5] ἠγάπησας κακίαν ὑπὲρ ἀγαθωσύνην, ἀδικίαν ὑπὲρ τὸ λαλῆσαι δικαιοσύνην. (διάψαλμα).
[5] Thou hast loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. (Pause).
[6] ἠγάπησας πάντα τὰ ῥήματα καταποντισμοῦ, γλῶσσαν δολίαν.
[6] Thou has loved all words of destruction, and a deceitful tongue.
[7] διὰ τοῦτο ὁ Θεὸς καθέλοι σε εἰς τέλος· ἐκτίλαι σε καὶ μεταναστεύσαι σε ἀπὸ σκηνώματός σου καὶ τὸ ῥίζωμά σου ἐκ γῆς ζώντων. (διάψαλμα).
[7] Therefore may God destroy thee for ever, may he pluck thee up and utterly remove thee from thy dwelling, and thy root from the land of the living. (Pause).
[8] ὄψονται δίκαιοι καὶ φοβηθήσονται καὶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν γελάσονται καὶ ἐροῦσιν·
[8] And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,
[9] ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος, ὃς οὐκ ἔθετο τὸν Θεὸν βοηθὸν αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπήλπισεν ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ πλούτου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνεδυναμώθη ἐπὶ τῇ ματαιότητι αὐτοῦ.
[9] Behold the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.
[10] ἐγὼ δὲ ὡσεὶ ἐλαία κατάκαρπος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ· ἤλπισα ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλεος τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.
[10] But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever, even for evermore.
[11] ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ὅτι ἐποίησας, καὶ ὑπομενῶ τὸ ὄνομά σου, ὅτι χρηστὸν ἐναντίον τῶν ὁσίων σου.
