Psalm 105 [MT 106]
[Alleluia.] Give thanks to the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy [endures] for ever.
᾿Αλληλούϊα. - ΕΞΟΜΟΛΟΓΕΙΣΘΕ τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι χρηστός, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ.
Who shall tell the mighty acts of the Lord? [who] shall cause all his praises to be heard?
τίς λαλήσει τὰς δυναστείας τοῦ Κυρίου, ἀκουστὰς ποιήσει πάσας τὰς αἰνέσεις αὐτοῦ;
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do righteousness at all times.
μακάριοι οἱ φυλάσσοντες κρίσιν καὶ ποιοῦντες δικαιοσύνην ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ.
Remember us, O Lord, with the favour [thou hast] to thy people: visit us with thy salvation;
μνήσθητι ἡμῶν, Κύριε, ἐν τῇ εὐδοκίᾳ τοῦ λαοῦ σου, ἐπίσκεψαι ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου
that we may behold the good of thine elect, that we may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that we may glory with thine inheritance.
τοῦ ἰδεῖν ἐν τῇ χρηστότητι τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν σου, τοῦ εὐφρανθῆναι ἐν τῇ εὐφροσύνῃ τοῦ ἔθνους σου, τοῦ ἐπαινεῖσθαι μετὰ τῆς κληρονομίας σου.
We have sinned with our fathers, we have transgressed, we have done unrighteously.
ἡμάρτομεν μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, ἠνομήσαμεν, ἠδικήσαμεν.
Our fathers in Egypt understood not thy wonders, and remembered not the multitude of thy mercy; but provoked [him] as they went up by the Red Sea.
οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ οὐ συνῆκαν τὰ θαυμάσιά σου καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθησαν τοῦ πλήθους τοῦ ἐλέους σου καὶ παρεπίκραναν ἀναβαίνοντες ἐν τῇ ἐρυθρᾷ θαλάσσῃ.
Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might cause his mighty power to be known.
καὶ ἔσωσεν αὐτοὺς ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ τοῦ γνωρίσαι τὴν δυναστείαν αὐτοῦ·
And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: so he led them through the deep as through the wilderness.
καὶ ἐπετίμησε τῇ ἐρυθρᾷ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ἐξηράνθη, καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἀβύσσῳ ὡς ἐν ἐρήμῳ·
And he saved them out of the hand of them that hated [them], and redeemed them out of the hand of the enemy.
καὶ ἔσωσεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς μισοῦντος καὶ ἐλυτρώσατο αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν·
The water covered those that oppressed them: there was not one of them left.
ἐκάλυψεν ὕδωρ τοὺς θλίβοντας αὐτούς, εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐχ ὑπελείφθη.
Then they believed his words, and celebrated his praise.
καὶ ἐπίστευσαν τοῖς λόγοις αὐτοῦ καὶ ᾖσαν τὴν αἴνεσιν αὐτοῦ.
They made haste, they forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel.
ἐτάχυναν, ἐπελάθοντο τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ, οὐχ ὑπέμειναν τὴν βουλὴν αὐτοῦ·
And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the dry [land].
καὶ ἐπεθύμησαν ἐπιθυμίαν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἐπείρασαν τὸν Θεὸν ἐν ἀνύδρῳ.
And he gave them their request, and sent fullness into their souls.
καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς τὸ αἴτημα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε πλησμονὴν εἰς τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν.
They provoked Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
καὶ παρώργισαν Μωυσῆν ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ, τὸν ᾿Ααρὼν τὸν ἅγιον Κυρίου·
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and closed upon the congregation of Abiron.
ἠνοίχθη ἡ γῆ καὶ κατέπιε Δαθὰν καὶ ἐκάλυψεν ἐπὶ τὴν συναγωγὴν ᾿Αβειρών·
And a fire was kindled in their congregation, and a flame burnt up the sinners.
καὶ ἐξεκαύθη πῦρ ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ αὐτῶν, φλὸξ κατέφλεξεν ἁμαρτωλούς.
And they made a calf in Choreb, and worshipped the graven image,
καὶ ἐποίησαν μόσχον ἐν Χωρὴβ καὶ προσεκύνησαν τῷ γλυπτῷ.
and they changed their glory into the similitude of a calf that feeds on grass.
καὶ ἠλλάξαντο τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν ἐν ὁμοιώματι μόσχου ἐσθίοντος χόρτον.
They forgot God that saved them, who had wrought great deeds in Egypt;
καὶ ἐπελάθοντο τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ σῴζοντος αὐτούς, τοῦ ποιήσαντος μεγάλα ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ,
wondrous [works] in the land of Cham, and terrible things at the Red Sea.
θαυμαστὰ ἐν γῇ Χάμ, φοβερὰ ἐπὶ θαλάσσης ἐρυθρᾶς.
So he said that he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn [him] away from the fierceness of his anger, so that he should not destroy them.
καὶ εἶπε τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι αὐτούς, εἰ μὴ Μωυσῆς ὁ ἐκλεκτὸς αὐτοῦ ἔστη ἐν τῇ θραύσει ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν θυμὸν αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι αὐτούς.
Moreover they set at nought the desirable land, and believed not his word.
καὶ ἐξουδένωσαν γῆν ἐπιθυμητήν, οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν τῷ λόγῳ αὐτοῦ·
And they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.
καὶ ἐγόγγυσαν ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν αὐτῶν, οὐκ εἰσήκουσαν τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου.
So he lifted up his hand against them, to cast them down in the wilderness;
καὶ ἐπῆρε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς τοῦ καταβαλεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ
and to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.
καὶ τοῦ καταβαλεῖν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι καὶ διασκορπίσαι αὐτοὺς ἐν ταῖς χώραις.
They were joined also to Beelphegor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. And they provoked him with their devices;
καὶ ἐτελέσθησαν τῷ Βεελφεγὼρ καὶ ἔφαγον θυσίας νεκρῶν·
and destruction, was multiplied among them.
καὶ παρώξυναν αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπληθύνθη ἐν αὐτοῖς ἡ πτῶσις.
Then Phinees stood up, and made atonement: and the plague ceased.
καὶ ἔστη Φινεὲς καὶ ἐξιλάσατο, καὶ ἐκόπασεν ἡ θραῦσις·
And it was counted to him for righteousness, to all generations for ever.
καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεὰν ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.
They provoked him also at the water of Strife, and Moses was hurt for their sakes;
καὶ παρώργισαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ ὕδατος ἀντιλογίας καὶ ἐκακώθη Μωυσῆς δι᾿ αὐτούς,
for they provoked his spirit, and he spoke [unadvisedly] with his lips.
ὅτι παρεπίκραναν τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ διέστειλεν ἐν τοῖς χείλεσιν αὐτοῦ.
They destroyed not the nations which the Lord told them [to destroy];
οὐκ ἐξωλόθρευσαν τὰ ἔθνη, ἃ εἶπε Κύριος αὐτοῖς,
but were mingled with the heathen, and learned their works.
καὶ ἐμίγησαν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι καὶ ἔμαθον τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν·
And they served their graven images; and it became an offence to them.
καὶ ἐδούλευσαν τοῖς γλυπτοῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτοῖς εἰς σκάνδαλον·
And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to devils,
καὶ ἔθυσαν τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν τοῖς δαιμονίοις
and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan; and the land was defiled with blood.
καὶ ἐξέχεαν αἷμα ἀθῷον, αἷμα υἱῶν αὐτῶν καὶ θυγατέρων, ὧν ἔθυσαν τοῖς γλυπτοῖς Χαναὰν καὶ ἐφονοκτονήθη ἡ γῆ ἐν τοῖς αἵμασι
and was polluted with their works; and they went a whoring with their own devices.
καὶ ἐμιάνθη ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπόρνευσαν ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν αὐτῶν.
So the Lord was very angry with his people, and he abhorred his inheritance.
καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ Κύριος ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐβδελύξατο τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ·
And he delivered them into the hands of [their] enemies; and they that hated them ruled over them.
καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν, καὶ ἐκυρίευσαν αὐτῶν οἱ μισοῦντες αὐτούς.
And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought down under their hands.
καὶ ἔθλιψαν αὐτοὺς οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐταπεινώθησαν ὑπὸ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν.
Many a time he delivered them; but they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquities.
πλεονάκις ἐρρύσατο αὐτούς, αὐτοὶ δὲ παρεπίκραναν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ βουλῇ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐταπεινώθησαν ἐν ταῖς ἀνομίαις αὐτῶν.
Yet the Lord looked upon their affliction, when he heard their petition.
καὶ εἶδε Κύριος ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαι αὐτούς, ἐν τῷ αὐτὸν εἰσακοῦσαι τῆς δεήσεως αὐτῶν·
And he remembered his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercy.
καὶ ἐμνήσθη τῆς διαθήκης αὐτοῦ καὶ μετεμελήθη κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ ἐλέους αὐτοῦ
And he caused them to be pitied in the sight of all who carried them captive.
καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς οἰκτιρμοὺς ἐναντίον πάντων τῶν αἰχμαλωτευσάντων αὐτούς.
Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, that we may glory in thy praise.
σῶσον ἡμᾶς, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐπισυνάγαγε ἡμᾶς ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν τοῦ ἐξομολογήσασθαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου τῷ ἁγίῳ, τοῦ ἐγκαυχᾶσθαι ἐν τῇ αἰνέσει σου.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting and to everlasting; and all the people shall say, Amen, Amen.
εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος. καὶ ἐρεῖ πᾶς ὁ λαός· γένοιτο γένοιτο.
