|---|---|---|
| 1 | In that day shall this canticle be sung the land of Juda. Sion the city of our strength a saviour, a wall and a bulwark shall be set therein. | Τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ᾂσονται τὸ ᾆσμα τοῦτο ἐπὶ γῆς τῆς Ἰουδαίας· ἰδοὺ πόλις ἰσχυρά, καὶ σωτήριον θήσει τὸ τεῖχος, καὶ περίτειχος. |
| 2 | Open ye the gates, and let the just nation, that keepeth the truth, enter in. | Ἀνοίξατε πύλας, εἰσελθέτω λαὸς φυλάσσων δικαιοσύνην, καὶ φυλάσσων ἀλήθειαν, |
| 3 | The old error is passed away: thou wilt keep peace: peace, because we have hoped in thee. | ἀντιλαμβανόμενος ἀληθείας, καὶ φυλάσσων εἰρήνην· ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ ἐλπίδι |
| 4 | You have hoped in the Lord for evermore, in the Lord God mighty for ever. | ἤλπισαν Κύριε ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος, ὁ Θεὸς ὁ μέγας, ὁ αἰώνιος, |
| 5 | For he shall bring down them that dwell on high, the high city he shall lay low. He shall bring it down even to the ground, he shall pull it down even to the dust. | ὃς ταπεινώσας κατήγαγες τοὺς ἐνοικοῦντας ἐν ὑψηλοῖς· πόλεις ὀχυρὰς καταβαλεῖς, καὶ κατάξεις ἕως ἐδάφους. |
| 6 | The foot shall tread it down, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy. | Καὶ πατήσουσιν αὐτοὺς πόδες πρᾳέων καὶ ταπεινῶν. |
| 7 | The way of the just is right, the path of the just is right to walk in. | Ὁδὸς εὐσεβῶν εὐθεῖα ἐγένετο, ἡ ὁδὸς τῶν εὐσεβῶν καὶ παρεσκευασμένη. |
| 8 | And in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, we have patiently waited for thee: thy name, and thy remembrance are the desire of the soul. | Ἡ γὰρ ὁδὸς Κυρίου κρίσις· ἠλπίσαμεν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου, καὶ ἐπὶ τῇ μνείᾳ |
| 9 | My soul hath desired thee in the night: yea, and with my spirit within me in the morning early I will watch to thee. When thou shalt do thy judgments on the earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learn justice. | ᾗ ἐπιθυμεῖ ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν· ἐκ νυκτὸς ὀρθρίζει τὸ πνεῦμά μου πρὸς σὲ ὁ Θεὸς, διότι φῶς τὰ προστάγματά σου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· δικαιοσύνην μάθετε οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. |
| 10 | Let us have pity on the wicked, but he will not learn justice: in the land of the saints he hath done wicked things, and he shall not see the glory of the Lord. | Πέπαυται γὰρ ὁ ἀσεβής· πᾶς ὃς οὐ μὴ μάθῃ δικαιοσύνην ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἀλήθειαν οὐ μὴ ποιήσει· ἀρθήτω ὁ ἀσεβὴς, ἵνα μὴ ἴδῃ τὴν δόξαν Κυρίου. |
| 11 | Lord, let thy hand be exalted, and let them not see: let the envious people see, and be confounded: and let fire devour thy enemies. | Κύριε ὑψηλός σου ὁ βραχίων, καὶ οὐκ ᾔδεισαν, γνόντες δὲ αἰσχυνθήσονται· ζῆλος λήψεται λαὸν ἀπαίδευτον, καὶ νῦν πῦρ τοὺς ὑπεναντίους ἔδεται. |
| 12 | Lord, thou wilt give us peace: for thou hast wrought all our works for us. | Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, εἰρήνην δὸς ἡμῖν, πάντα γὰρ ἀπέδωκας ἡμῖν. |
| 13 | O Lord our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us, only in thee let us remember thy name. | Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, κτῆσαι ἡμᾶς· Κύριε ἐκτός σου ἄλλον οὐκ οἴδαμεν· τὸ ὄνομά σου ὀνομάζομεν. |
| 14 | Let not the dead live, let not the giants rise again: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and best destroyed all their memory. | Οἱ δὲ νεκροὶ ζωὴν οὐ μὴ ἴδωσιν, οὐδὲ ἰατροὶ οὐ μὴ ἀναστήσουσι· διατοῦτο ἐπήγαγες, καὶ ἀπώλεσας, καὶ ᾖρας πᾶν ἄρσεν αὐτῶν. |
| 15 | Thou hast been favourable to the nation, O Lord, thou hast been favourable to the nation: art thou glorified? thou hast removed all the ends of the earth far off. | Πρόσθες αὐτοῖς κακὰ Κύριε, πρόσθες κακὰ τοῖς ἐνδόξοις τῆς γῆς. |
| 16 | Lord, they have sought after thee in distress, in the tribulation of murmuring thy instruction was with them. | Κύριε, ἐν θλίψει ἐμνήσθην σου, ἐν θλίψει μικρᾷ ἡ παιδεία σου ἡμῖν. |
| 17 | As a woman with child, when she draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs: so are we become in thy presence, O Lord. | Καὶ ὡς ἡ ὠδίνουσα ἐγγίζει τεκεῖν, ἐπὶ τῇ ὠδῖνι αὐτῆς ἐκέκραξεν, οὕτως ἐγενήθημεν τῷ ἀγαπητῷ σου. |
| 18 | We have conceived, and been as it were in labour, and have brought forth wind: we have not wrought salvation on the earth, therefore the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen. | Διὰ τὸν φόβον σου Κύριε ἐν γαστρὶ ἐλάβομεν, καὶ ὠδινήσαμεν, καὶ ἐτέκομεν πνεῦμα σωτηρίας σου, ὃ ἐποιήσαμεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· οὐ πεσούμεθα, ἀλλὰ πεσοῦνται πάντες οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. |
| 19 | Thy dead men shall live, my slain shall rise again: awake, and give praise, ye that dwell in the dust: for thy dew is the dew of the light: and the land of the giants thou shalt pull down into ruin. | Ἀναστήσονται οἱ νεκροὶ, καὶ ἐγερθήσονται οἱ ἐν τοῖς μνημείοις, καὶ εὐφρανθήσονται οἱ ἐν τῇ γῇ· ἡ γὰρ δρόσος ἡ παρὰ σοῦ ἴαμα αὐτοῖς ἐστιν, ἡ δὲ γῆ τῶν ἀσεβῶν πεσεῖται. |
| 20 | Go, my people, enter into thy chambers, shut thy doors upon thee, hide thyself a little for a moment, until the indignation pass away. | Βάδιζε λαός μου, εἴσελθε εἰς τὰ ταμεῖά σου, ἀπόκλεισον τὴν θύραν σου, ἀποκρύβηθι μικρὸν ὅσον ὅσον, ἕως ἂν παρέλθῃ ἡ ὀργὴ Κυρίου. |
| 21 | For behold the Lord will come out of his place, to visit the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth against him: and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall cover her slain no more. | Ἰδοὺ γὰρ Κύριος ἀπὸ τοῦ ἁγίου ἐπάγει τὴν ὀργὴν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐνοικοῦντασἐ πὶ τῆς γῆς· καὶ ἀνακαλύψει ἡ γῆ τὸ αἷμα αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐ κατακαλύψει τοὺς ἀνῃρημένους. |
