Psalm 104 [MT 105]
[Alleluia.] Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon his name; declare his works among the heathen.
᾿Αλληλούϊα. - ΕΞΟΜΟΛΟΓΕΙΣΘΕ τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ ἐπικαλεῖσθε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, ἀπαγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ·
Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful works.
ᾄσατε αὐτῷ καὶ ψάλατε αὐτῷ, διηγήσασθε πάντα τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ.
Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice.
ἐπαινεῖσθε ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ. εὐφρανθήτω καρδία ζητούντων τὸν Κύριον·
Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.
ζητήσατε τὸν Κύριον καὶ κραταιώθητε, ζητήσατε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ διαπαντός.
Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
μνήσθητε τῶν θαυμασίων αὐτοῦ, ὧν ἐποίησε, τὰ τέρατα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ κρίματα τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ,
[ye] seed of Abraam, his servants, [ye] children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
σπέρμα ῾Αβραὰμ δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ, υἱοὶ ᾿Ιακὼβ ἐκλεκτοὶ αὐτοῦ.
He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
αὐτὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ.
He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generations:
ἐμνήσθη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα διαθήκης αὐτοῦ, λόγου, οὗ ἐνετείλατο εἰς χιλίας γενεάς,
which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and [he remembered] his oath to Isaac.
ὃν διέθετο τῷ ῾Αβραάμ, καὶ τοῦ ὅρκου αὐτοῦ τῷ ᾿Ισαὰκ
And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν τῷ ᾿Ιακὼβ εἰς πρόσταγμα καὶ τῷ ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον
saying To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
λέγων· σοὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν Χαναὰν σχοίνισμα κληρονομίας ὑμῶν.
when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.
ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἀριθμῷ βραχεῖς, ὀλιγοστοὺς καὶ παροίκους ἐν αὐτῇ
And they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people.
καὶ διῆλθον ἐξ ἔθνους εἰς ἔθνος, καὶ ἐκ βασιλείας εἰς λαὸν ἕτερον.
He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes:
οὐκ ἀφῆκεν ἄνθρωπον ἀδικῆσαι αὐτοὺς καὶ ἤλεγξεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν βασιλεῖς·
[saying], Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.
μὴ ἅπτεσθε τῶν χριστῶν μου καὶ ἐν τοῖς προφήταις μου μὴ πονηρεύεσθε.
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole support of bread.
καὶ ἐκάλεσε λιμὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, πᾶν στήριγμα ἄρτου συνέτριψεν·
He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave.
ἀπέστειλεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπον, εἰς δοῦλον ἐπράθη ᾿Ιωσήφ.
They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron,
ἐταπείνωσαν ἐν πέδαις τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, σίδηρον διῆλθεν ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ
until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire.
μέχρι τοῦ ἐλθεῖν τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ, τὸ λόγιον τοῦ Κυρίου ἐπύρωσεν αὐτόν.
The king sent and loosed him; [even] the prince of the people, and let him go free.
ἀπέστειλε βασιλεὺς καὶ ἔλυσεν αὐτόν, ἄρχων λαοῦ, καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτόν.
He made him Lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance;
κατέστησεν αὐτὸν κύριον τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἄρχοντα πάσης τῆς κτήσεως αὐτοῦ
to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
τοῦ παιδεῦσαι τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτοῦ ὡς ἑαυτὸν καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους αὐτοῦ σοφίσαι.
Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Cham.
καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ᾿Ιακὼβ παρῴκησεν ἐν γῇ Χάμ.
And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.
καὶ ηὔξησε τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ σφόδρα καὶ ἐκραταίωσεν αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ.
And he turned their heart to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.
μετέστρεψε τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ τοῦ μισῆσαι τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, τοῦ δολιοῦσθαι ἐν τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ.
He sent forth Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
ἐξαπέστειλε Μωϋσῆν τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ, ᾿Ααρών, ὃν ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ.
He established among them his signs, and [his] wonders in the land of Cham.
ἔθετο ἐν αὐτοῖς τοὺς λόγους τῶν σημείων αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν τεράτων αὐτοῦ ἐν γῇ Χάμ.
He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against his words.
ἐξαπέστειλε σκότος καὶ ἐσκότασεν, ὅτι παρεπίκραναν τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ·
He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
μετέστρεψε τὰ ὕδατα αὐτῶν εἰς αἷμα, καὶ ἀπέκτεινε τοὺς ἰχθύας αὐτῶν.
Their land produced frogs abundantly, in the chambers of their kings.
ἐξῆρψεν ἡ γῆ αὐτῶν βατράχους ἐν τοῖς ταμιείοις τῶν βασιλέων αὐτῶν.
He spoke, and the dog-fly came, and lice in all their coasts.
εἶπε, καὶ ἦλθε κυνόμυια καὶ σκνῖπες ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῶν.
He turned their rain into hail, [and sent] flaming fire in their land.
ἔθετο τὰς βροχὰς αὐτῶν χάλαζαν, πῦρ καταφλέγον ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν,
And he smote their vines and their fig trees; and broke every tree of their coast.
καὶ ἐπάταξε τὰς ἀμπέλους αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς συκᾶς αὐτῶν καὶ συνέτριψε πᾶν ξύλον ὁρίου αὐτῶν.
He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,
εἶπε καὶ ἦλθεν ἀκρίς, καὶ βροῦχος, οὗ οὐκ ἦν ἀριθμός,
and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of the ground.
καὶ κατέφαγε πάντα τὸν χόρτον ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν, καὶ κατέφαγε τὸν καρπὸν τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν.
He smote also every first-born of their land, the first-fruits of all their labour.
καὶ ἐπάταξε πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν, ἀπαρχὴν παντὸς πόνου αὐτῶν.
And he brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not a feeble one among their tribes.
καὶ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἀργυρίῳ καὶ χρυσίῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἐν ταῖς φυλαῖς αὐτῶν ὁ ἀσθενῶν.
Egypt rejoiced at their departing; for the fear of them fell upon them.
εὐφράνθη Αἴγυπτος ἐν τῇ ἐξόδῳ αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐπέπεσεν ὁ φόβος αὐτῶν ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς.
He spread out a cloud for a covering to them, and fire to give them light by night.
διεπέτασε νεφέλην εἰς σκέπην αὐτοῖς καὶ πῦρ τοῦ φωτίσαι αὐτοῖς τὴν νύκτα.
They asked, and the quail came, and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
ᾔτησαν, καὶ ἦλθεν ὀρτυγομήτρα, καὶ ἄρτον οὐρανοῦ ἐνέπλησεν αὐτούς·
He clave the rock, and the waters flowed, rivers ran in dry places.
διέρρηξε πέτραν, καὶ ἐρρύησαν ὕδατα, ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν ἀνύδροις ποταμοί.
For he remembered his holy word, which [he promised] to Abraam his servant.
ὅτι ἐμνήσθη τοῦ λόγου τοῦ ἁγίου αὐτοῦ τοῦ πρὸς ῾Αβραὰμ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ
And he brought out his people with exultation, and his chosen with joy;
καὶ ἐξήγαγε τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ.
and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the labours of the people;
καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς χώρας ἐθνῶν, καὶ πόνους λαῶν κατεκληρονόμησαν,
that they might keep his ordinances, and diligently seek his law.
ὅπως ἂν φυλάξωσι τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν νόμον αὐτοῦ ἐκζητήσωσιν.
