Zaburi ya 103 (104).

Εὐλόγει, ἡ ψυχή μου, τὸν Κύριον. Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου ἐμεγαλύνθης σφόδρα. Ἐξομολόγησιν καὶ μεγαλοπρέπειαν ἐνεδύσω, ἀναβαλλόμενος φῶς ὡς ἱμάτιον. Ἐκτείνων τὸν οὐρανὸν ὡσεὶ δέῤῥιν, ὁ στεγάζων ἐν ὕδασι τὰ ὑπερῷα αὐτοῦ. Ὁ τιθεὶς νέφη τὴν ἐπίβασιν αὐτοῦ, ὁ περιπατῶν ἐπὶ πτερύγων ἀνέμων. Ὁ ποιῶν τοὺς Ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ πνεύματα, καὶ τοὺς λειτουργοὺς αὐτοῦ πυρὸς φλόγα. Ὁ θεμελιῶν τὴν γῆν ἐπὶ τὴν ἀσφάλειαν αὐτῆς, οὐ κλιθήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος. Ἄβυσσος ὡς ἱμάτιον τὸ περιβόλαιον αὐτοῦ, ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων στήσονται ὕδατα. Ἀπὸ ἐπιτιμήσεώς σου φεύξονται, ἀπὸ φωνῆς βροντῆς σου δειλιάσουσιν. Ἀναβαίνουσιν ὄρη, καὶ καταβαίνουσι πεδία εἰς τὸν τόπον, ὃν ἐθεμελίωσας αὐτά. Ὅριον ἔθου, ὃ οὐ παρελεύσονται, οὐδὲ ἐπιστρέψουσι καλύψαι τὴν γῆν. Ὁ ἐξαποστέλλων πηγὰς ἐν φάραγξιν, ἀναμέσον τῶν ὀρέων διελεύσονται ὕδατα· ποτιοῦσι πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ, προσδέξονται ὄναγροι εἰς δίψαν αὐτῶν. Ἐπʼ αὐτὰ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνώσει, ἐκ μέσου τῶν πετρῶν δώσουσι φωνήν. Ποτίζων ὄρη ἐκ τῶν ὑπερῴων αὐτοῦ, ἀπὸ καρποῦ τῶν ἔργων σου χορτασθήσεται ἡ γῆ. Ὁ ἐξανατέλλων χόρτον τοῖς κτήνεσι, καὶ χλόην τῇ δουλείᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων. Τοῦ ἐξαγαγεῖν ἄρτον ἐκ τῆς γῆς, καὶ οἶνος εὐφραίνει καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου. Τοῦ ἱλαρῦναι πρόσωπον ἐν ἐλαίῳ, καὶ ἄρτος καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου στηρίζει. Χορτασθήσονται τὰ ξύλα τοῦ πεδίου, αἱ κέδροι τοῦ Λιβάνου, ἃς ἐφύτευσας. Ἐκεῖ στρουθία ἐννοσσεύσουσι, τοῦ ἐρωδιοῦ ἡ κατοικία ἡγεῖται αὐτῶν. Ὄρη τὰ ὑψηλὰ ταῖς ἐλάφοις, πέτρα καταφυγὴ τοῖς λαγωοῖς. Ἐποίησε σελήνην εἰς καιρούς, ὁ ἥλιος ἔγνω τὴν δύσιν αὐτοῦ. Ἔθου σκότος, καὶ ἐγένετο νύξ, ἐν αὐτῇ διελεύσονται πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ δρυμοῦ. Σκύμνοι ὠρυόμενοι τοῦ ἁρπάσαι, καὶ ζητῆσαι παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ βρῶσιν αὐτοῖς. Ἀνέτειλεν ὁ ἥλιος, καὶ συνήχθησαν, καὶ εἰς τὰς μάνδρας αὐτῶν κοιτασθήσονται. Ἐξελεύσεται ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τὸ ἔργον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ἐργασίαν αὐτοῦ ἕως ἑσπέρας. Ὡς ἐμεγαλύνθη τὰ ἔργα σου, Κύριε, πάντα ἐν σοφίᾳ ἐποίησας, ἐπληρώθη ἡ γῆ τῆς κτίσεώς σου. Αὕτη ἡ θάλασσα ἡ μεγάλη καὶ εὐρύχωρος, ἐκεῖ ἑρπετὰ ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός, ζῷα μικρὰ μετὰ μεγάλων. Ἐκεῖ πλοῖα διαπορεύονται, δράκων οὗτος, ὃν ἔπλασας ἐμπαίζειν αὐτῇ. Πάντα πρὸς σὲ προσδοκῶσι, δοῦναι τὴν τροφὴν αὐτῶν εἰς εὔκαιρον, δόντος σου αὐτοῖς συλλέξουσιν. Ἀνοίξαντός σου τὴν χεῖρα, τὰ σύμπαντα πλησθήσονται χρηστότητος, ἀποστρέψαντος δέ σου τὸ πρόσωπον, ταραχθήσονται. Ἀντανελεῖς τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκλείψουσι, καὶ εἰς τὸν χοῦν αὐτῶν ἐπιστρέψουσιν. Ἐξαποστελεῖς τὸ πνεῦμα σου, καὶ κτισθήσονται, καὶ ἀνακαινιεῖς τὸ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς. Ἤτω ἡ δόξα Κυρίου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, εὐφρανθήσεται Κύριος ἐπὶ τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ. Ὁ ἐπιβλέπων ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ ποιῶν αὐτὴν τρέμειν, ὁ ἁπτόμενος τῶν ὀρέων, καὶ καπνίζονται. ᾌσω τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ μου, ψαλῶ τῷ Θεῷ μου ἕως ὑπάρχω. Ἡδυνθείη αὐτῷ ἡ διαλογή μου, ἐγὼ δὲ εὐφρανθήσομαι ἐπὶ τῷ Κυρίῳ. Ἐκλείποιεν ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἄνομοι, ὥστε μὴ ὑπάρχειν αὐτούς. Εὐλόγει, ἡ ψυχή μου, τὸν Κύριον.

Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, You are magnified exceedingly; You clothe Yourself with thanksgiving and majesty, who cover Yourself with light as with a garment, who stretch out the heavens like a curtain; You are He who covers His upper chambers with water, who makes the clouds His means of approach, who walks on the wings of the winds, who makes His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire. He established the earth on its stable foundation; it shall not be moved unto ages of ages. The deep like a garment is His covering; the waters shall stand upon the mountains; at Your rebuke they shall flee; at the sound of Your thunder, they shall be afraid. The mountains rise up, and the plains sink down to the place You founded for them. You set a boundary they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth. You are He who sends springs into the valley; the waters shall pass between the mountains; they shall give drink to all the wild animals of the field; the wild asses shall quench their thirst; the birds of heaven shall dwell beside them; they shall sing from the midst of the rocks. You are He who waters the mountains from His higher places; the earth shall be satisfied with the fruit of Your works. You are He who causes grass to grow for the cattle, and the green plant for the service of man, to bring forth bread from the earth; and wine gladdens the heart of man, to brighten his face with oil; and bread strengthens man’s heart. The trees of the plain shall be full of fruit, the cedars of Lebanon, which You planted; there the sparrows shall make their nests; the house of the heron takes the lead among them. The high mountains are for the deer; the cliff is a refuge for the rabbits. He made the moon for seasons; the sun knows its setting. You established darkness, and it was night, wherein all the wild animals of the forest will prowl about; the young lions roar and snatch their prey, and seek their food from God. The sun arises, and they are gathered together; and they shall be put to bed in their dens. Man shall go out to his work and to his labor until evening. O Lord, Your works shall be magnified greatly; You made all things in wisdom; the earth was filled with Your creation. There is this great and spacious sea: the creeping things are there without number; the living things are there, both small and great; there the ships pass through; there is this dragon You formed to play therein. All things wait upon You, that You may give them food in due season. When You give it to them, they shall gather it; when You open Your hand, all things shall be filled with Your goodness. But when You turn Your face away, they shall be troubled; when You take away their breath, they shall die and return again to their dust. You shall send forth Your Spirit, and they shall be created, and You shall renew the face of the earth. Let the glory of the Lord be forever; the Lord shall be glad in His works; He looks upon the earth and makes it tremble; He touches the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing to my God as long as I exist; may my words be pleasing to Him, and I shall be glad in the Lord. May sinners cease from the earth, and the lawless, so as to be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul.

Ee nafsi yangu, umhimidi Bwana. Wewe, Bwana, Mungu wangu, umejifanya mkuu sana; umejivika heshima na adhama. Umejivika nuru kama vazi; umezitandika mbingu kama pazia; na kuziweka nguzo za orofa zake majini. Huyafanya mawingu kuwa gari lake, na kwenda juu ya mabawa ya upepo, huwafanya malaika zake kuwa pepo, na watumishi wake kuwa moto wa miali. Uliiweka nchi juu ya misingi yake, isitikisike milele. Uliifunika kwa vilindi kama kwa vazi, maji yalikuwa yakisimama juu ya milima. Kwa kukemea kwako yakakimbia, kwa sauti ya radi yako yakaenda zake kasi, yakapanda milima, yakatelemka mabondeni, mpaka mahali ulipoyatengeneza. Umeweka mpaka yasiupite, wala yasirudi kuifunikiza nchi. Hupeleka chemchemi katika mabonde; zapita kati ya milima; zamnywesha kila mnyama wa kondeni; punda mwitu huzima kiu yao. Kandokando hukaa ndege wa angani; kati ya matawi hutoa sauti zao. Huinywesha milima toka orofa zake; nchi imeshiba mazao ya kazi zako. Huyameesha majani kwa makundi, na maboga kwa matumizi ya mwanadamu; ili atoe chakula katika nchi, na divai imfurahishe mtu moyo wake. Aung''aze uso wake kwa mafuta, na mkate umburudishe mtu moyo wake. Miti ya Bwana nayo imeshiba, mierezi ya Lebanoni aliyoipanda. Ndimo ndege wafanyamo vitundu vyao, na korongo, misunobari ni nyumba yake. Milima mirefu ndiko waliko mbuzi wa mwitu, na magenge ni kimbilio la wibari. Aliufanya mwezi kwa ajili ya nyakati, jua latambua kuchwa kwake. Wewe hufanya giza, kukawa usiku, ndipo atambaapo kila mnyama wa mwitu. Wana-simba hunguruma wakitaka mawindo, ili kutafuta chakula chao kwa Mungu. Jua lachomoza, wanakwenda zao, na kujilaza mapangoni mwao. Mwanadamu atoka kwenda zake kazini, na kwenye utumishi wake mpaka jioni. Ee Bwana, jinsi yalivyo mengi matendo yako! Kwa hekima umevifanya vyote pia. Dunia imejaa mali zako. Bahari iko kule, kubwa na upana, ndimo mlimo viendavyo visivyohesabika, viumbe hai vidogo kwa vikubwa. Ndimo zipitamo merikebu, ndimo alimo lewiathani uliyemwumba acheze humo. Hao wote wanakungoja Wewe, uwape chakula chao kwa wakati wake. Wewe huwapa, wao wanakiokota; Wewe waukunjua mkono wako, wao wanashiba mema; Wewe wauficha uso wako, wao wanafadhaika; waiondoa pumzi yao, wanakufa, na kuyarudia mavumbi yao. Waipeleka roho yako, wanaumbwa, nawe waufanya upya uso wa nchi. Utukufu wa Bwana na udumu milele; Bwana na ayafurahie matendo yake. Aitazama nchi, inatetemeka; aigusa milima, inatoka moshi. Nitamwimbia Bwana maadamu ninaishi; nitamshangilia Mungu wangu nikiwa hai; kutafakari kwangu na kuwe kutamu kwake; mimi nitamfurahia Bwana. Wenye dhambi waangamizwe katika nchi, watendao ubaya wasiwepo tena. Ee nafsi yangu, umhimidi Bwana.

Ὁ ἥλιος ἔγνω τὴν δύσιν αὐτοῦ. Ἔθου σκότος, καὶ ἐγένετο νύξ.

The sun knows its setting. You established darkness, and it was night.

Jua latambua kuchwa kwake; Wewe hufanya giza kukawa usiku,

Ὡς ἐμεγαλύνθη τὰ ἔργα σου, Κύριε· πάντα ἐν σοφίᾳ ἐποίησας.

O Lord, Your works shall be magnified greatly; You made all things in wisdom. [SAAS]

Ee Bwana, jinsi yalivyo mengi matendo yako! Kwa hekima umevifanya vyote pia. [[SWA]]

Θοῦ, Κύριε, φυλακὴν τῷ στόματί μου, καὶ θύραν περιοχῆς περὶ τὰ χείλη μου.

Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth, a door of enclosure about my lips.

Mstari: 10. (Zab. 141/142)

Μὴ ἐκκλίνῃς τὴν καρδίαν μου εἰς λόγους πονηρίας, τοῦ προφασίζεσθαι προφάσεις ἐν ἁμαρτίαις.

Incline not my heart to evil words, to make excuses in sins.

Σὺν ἀνθρώποις ἐργαζομένοις τὴν ἀνομίαν, καὶ οὐ μὴ συνδυάσω μετὰ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτῶν.

With men who work lawlessness; and I will not join with their choice ones.

Παιδεύσει με δίκαιος ἐν ἐλέει, καὶ ἐλέγξει με, ἔλαιον δὲ ἁμαρτωλοῦ μὴ λιπανάτω τὴν κεφαλήν μου.

The righteous man shall correct me with mercy, and he shall reprove me; but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head.

Ὅτι ἔτι καὶ ἡ προσευχή μου ἐν ταῖς εὐδοκίαις αὐτῶν· κατεπόθησαν ἐχόμενα πέτρας οἱ κριταὶ αὐτῶν.

For my prayer shall be intense in the presence of their pleasures. Their judges are swallowed up by the rock.

Ἀκούσονται τὰ ῥήματά μου, ὅτι ἡδύνθησαν· ὡσεὶ πάχος γῆς ἐῤῥάγη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, διεσκορπίσθη τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν παρὰ τὸν ᾅδην.

They shall hear my words, for they are pleasant. As a clod of ground is dashed to pieces on the earth, so their bones were scattered beside the grave.

Ὅτι πρὸς σέ, Κύριε, Κύριε, οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ μου· ἐπὶ σοὶ ἤλπισα, μὴ ἀντανέλῃς τὴν ψυχήν μου.

For my eyes, O Lord, O Lord, are toward You; in You I hope; take not my soul away.

Φύλαξόν με ἀπὸ παγίδος ἧς συνεστήσαντό μοι, καὶ ἀπὸ σκανδάλων τῶν ἐργαζομένων τὴν ἀνομίαν.

Keep me from the snares they set for me, and from the stumbling blocks of those who work lawlessness.

Πεσοῦνται ἐν ἀμφιβλήστρῳ αὐτῶν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί· κατὰ μόνας εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ἕως ἂν παρέλθω.

Sinners shall fall into their own net; I am alone, until I escape.

Φωνῇ μου πρὸς Κύριον ἐκέκραξα, φωνῇ μου πρὸς Κύριον ἐδεήθην.

I cried to the Lord with my voice, with my voice I prayed to the Lord.

Ἐκχεῶ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ τὴν δέησίν μου, τὴν θλῖψίν μου ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἀπαγγελῶ.

I shall pour out my supplication before Him; I shall declare my affliction in His presence.

Ἐν τῷ ἐκλείπειν ἐξ ἐμοῦ τὸ πνεῦμά μου, καὶ σὺ ἔγνως τὰς τρίβους μου.

When my spirit fainted within me, then You knew my paths.

Ἐν ὁδῷ ταύτῃ, ᾗ ἐπορευόμην, ἔκρυψαν παγίδα μοι.

For on the way I was going, they hid a trap for me.

Κατενόουν εἰς τὰ δεξιά, καὶ ἐπέβλεπον, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐπιγινώσκων με.

I looked on my right, and saw there was no one who knew me.

Ἀπώλετο φυγὴ ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἐκζητῶν τὴν ψυχήν μου.

Refuge failed me, and there was no one who cared for my soul.

Ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ, Κύριε· εἶπα· Σὺ εἶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου, μερίς μου εἶ ἐν γῇ ζώντων.

I cried to You, O Lord; I said, “You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living.”

Πρόσχες πρὸς τὴν δέησίν μου, ὅτι ἐταπεινώθην σφόδρα.

Attend to my supplication, for I was humbled exceedingly.

Ῥῦσαί με ἐκ τῶν καταδιωκόντων με, ὅτι ἐκραταιώθησαν ὑπὲρ ἐμέ.

Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.

Since we have all learned the Lord’s prayer, which Christ himself taught us, * let us recite it daily * to our God and Creator, * and pray out loud with fervor: Our Father who art * in the heavens, Thy kingdom come. * Thy will be done. Give us this day our daily bread, * and forgive us all our trespasses. [SD]

Ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου ὑπέμεινά σε, Κύριε, ὑπέμεινεν ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὸν λόγον σου. Ἤλπισεν ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον.

Of old, O Master of all things, there in the wilderness, * when the ungrateful Hebrews * disobeyed You, then rightly * they were overthrown and their bodies fell. * Likewise, O Christ, now scatter the bones * of disbelieving and impious Hagarenes * next to Hades, as the Psalmist said. [SD]

Ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας μέχρι νυκτός· ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας ἐλπισάτω Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον.

Venerable Father, ⁄ if it were possible for your pillar to speak, ⁄ it would ever sing of your pangs, your labors and lamentations! ⁄ For it did not merely bear you: ⁄ It was itself borne, like a tree watered with your tears. ⁄ The angels were amazed and men marveled! ⁄ The demons feared your patience, ⁄⁄ venerable Simeon, pray that our souls may be saved!

Ταύτην οὖν κατέχοντες, τῆς πίστεως τὴν ἄγκυραν, ὑπέρμαχον ἔχομεν, τὸν ἐξ αὐτῆς τεχθέντα Κύριον. Θαρσείτω τοίνυν, θαρσείτω λαὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ γὰρ αὐτὸς πολεμήσει τοὺς ἐχθρούς, ὡς παντοδύναμος.

Let us extol the Virgin Mary, the glory of the universe. She had human parents and became the mother of the Master. She is the gateway to heaven, the song of the bodiless hosts, and the jewel of the faithful. For she became like heaven, a temple of the Godhead. She broke down the dividing wall of hostility and introduced the One who is our peace, and she opened the kingdom. Now as we hold on to her, the anchor of the Faith, we have as our champion the Lord who was born from her. So take courage; take courage, O people of God. For He himself, as the Almighty One, will fight the enemies. [GOASD]

Tumsifu Maria Bikira, kwa kuwa yeye ndiye utukufu wa ulimwengu wote; alijitoa kwa kizazi cha binadamu, na kumzaa Bwana; yeye ndiye umbo la Mbinguni; wimbo wa Nguvu zisizo na miili, na kafara ya waumini. Ameonyeshwa kama Hekalu la Umungu. Amevunja ukuta wa uadui, akileta amani, na amefungua Ufalme. Kwa hivyo, tukiwa naye kama mwanzilishi wa imani, tuna Bwana Mshujaa, Aliyezaliwa naye. Jipeni ujasiri basi; jipeni nguvu, enyi watu wa Mungu, kwa Yeye, kama Mungu Mweza atawamaliza maadui. [[SWA]]

Πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ, οὗ ἕνεκεν ἔχρισέ με, εὐαγγελίσασθαι πτωχοῖς ἀπέσταλκέ με, ἰάσασθαι τοὺς συντετριμμένους τὴν καρδίαν, κηρύξαι αἰχμαλώτοις ἄφεσιν, καὶ τυφλοῖς ἀνάβλεψιν· καλέσαι ἐνιαυτὸν Κυρίου δεκτόν, καὶ ἡμέραν ἀνταποδόσεως τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν, παρακαλέσαι πάντας τοὺς πενθοῦντας, δοθῆναι τοῖς πενθοῦσι Σιών δόξαν ἀντὶ σποδοῦ· ἄλειμμα εὐφροσύνης τοῖς πενθοῦσι, καταστολὴν δόξης, ἀντὶ πνεύματος ἀκηδίας, καὶ κληθήσονται γενεά, δικαιοσύνης, φύτευμα Κυρίου εἰς δόξαν. Καὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν ἐρήμους αἰωνίους, ἐξηρημωμένας τὸ πρότερον· ἐξαναστήσονται, καὶ ἀνακαινιοῦσι πόλεις ἐρήμους, ἐξηρημωμένας ἀπὸ γενεὰς εἰς γενεάν. Καὶ ἥξουσιν ἀλλογενεῖς ποιμαίνοντες τὰ πρόβατά σου, καὶ ἀλλόφυλοι ἀροτῆρες, καὶ ἀμπελουργοὶ ὑμῶν. Ὑμεῖς δὲ Ἱερεῖς Κυρίου κληθήσεσθε, λειτουργοὶ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν. Ῥηθήσεται ὑμῖν· ἰσχὺν ἐθνῶν κατέδεσθε, καὶ ἐν τῷ πλούτῳ αὐτῶν θαυμασθήσεσθε, ἀντί της αἰσχύνης ὑμῶν τῆς διπλῆς, καὶ ἀντὶ τῆς ἐντροπῆς, ἀγαλλιάσεται ἡ μερὶς αὐτῶν. Διὰ τοῦτο τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν ἐκ δευτέρου κληρονομήσουσι, καὶ εὐφροσύνη αἰώνιος ὑπὲρ κεφαλῆς αὐτῶν. Ἐγὼ γὰρ εἰμι Κύριος, ἀγαπῶν δικαιοσύνην καὶ μισῶν ἁρπάγματα ἐξ ἀδικίας· καὶ δώσω τὸν μόχθον αὐτῶν δικαίοις, καὶ διαθήκην αἰώνιον διαθήσομαι αὐτοῖς. Καὶ γνωσθήσεται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ἔκγονα αὐτῶν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν λαῶν· καὶ ὁ ὁρῶν αὐτούς, ἐπιγνώσεται αὐτούς, ὅτι οὗτοί εἰσι σπέρμα εὐλογημένον εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ὑπὸ Θεοῦ, καὶ εὐφροσύνη εὐφρανθήσονται ἐπὶ Κύριον.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because of which He anointed Me. He sent Me to proclaim good news to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to preach liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind; to declare the acceptable year of the Lord, the day of recompense, and to comfort all who mourn; to give those who mourn in Zion glory instead of ashes, the oil of gladness to those who mourn; the garment of glory instead of a spirit of indifference. They shall be called generations of righteousness, the planting of the Lord for glory. They shall build the ancient deserts, raise up those formerly abandoned, and renew the desert cities that laid waste for generations. Foreigners shall come and shepherd your sheep, and aliens shall be your plowmen and vinedressers; but you shall be called priests of the Lord and the ministers of God. You shall eat the strength of nations and be admired because of their wealth. So they shall inherit the land a second time, and eternal gladness shall be upon their head. For I am the Lord, who loves righteousness and hates robberies of wrongdoing. I will give their labor to the righteous and will make with them an everlasting covenant. Their seed and their offspring shall be known among the Gentiles. All who see them shall know these are the seed blessed by God; and they shall have exceeding gladness in the Lord.” [SAAS]

Ἐλάλησε Κύριος τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ, λέγων· Ἐὰν τοῖς προστάγμασί μου πορεύησθε, καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς μου φυλάσσησθε, καὶ ποιῆτε αὐτάς, δώσω τὸν ὑετὸν ἐν καιρῷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ γῆ δώσει τὰ γεννήματα αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ ξύλα τῶν πεδίων ἀποδώσει τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ καταλήψεται ὑμῖν ὁ ἀλοητὸς τὸν τρυγητόν, καὶ ὁ τρυγητός καταλήψεται τὸν σπόρον. Καὶ φάγεσθε τὸν ἄρτον ὑμῶν εἰς πλησμονήν, καὶ κατοικήσετε μετὰ ἀσφαλείας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὑμᾶς ὁ ἐκφοβῶν· καὶ ἀπολῶ θηρία ἐκ τῆς γῆς ὑμῶν, καὶ πόλεμος οὐ διελεύσεται διὰ τῆς γῆς ὑμῶν, καὶ πεσοῦνται οἱ ἐχθροὶ ὑμῶν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν, καὶ διώξονται ἐξ ὑμῶν πέντε ἑκατόν, καὶ ἑκατόν ὑμῶν διώξονται μυριάδας. Καὶ ἐπιβλέψω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, καὶ εὐλογήσω ὑμᾶς, καὶ αὐξανῶ ὑμᾶς, καὶ πληθυνῶ ὑμᾶς, καὶ στήσω τὴν διαθήκην μου μεθʼ ὑμῶν. Καὶ φάγεσθε παλαιά, καὶ παλαιὰ παλαιῶν, καὶ παλαιὰ ἐκ προσώπου νέων ἐξοίσετε. Καὶ οὐ βδελύξεται ἡ ψυχή μου ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἐμπεριπατήσω ἐν ὑμῖν, καὶ ἔσομαι ὑμῶν Θεός, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔσεσθέ μοι λαός. Ἐὰν δὲ μὴ εἰσακούσητέ μου, μηδὲ ποιήσητε τὰ προστάγματά μου ταῦτα, ἀλλὰ ἀπειθήσητε αὐτοῖς, καὶ τοῖς κρίμασί μου προσοχθήσῃ ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν, ὥς τε ὑμᾶς μὴ ποιεῖν πάσας τὰς ἐντολάς μου, καὶ ἐγὼ ποιήσω οὕτως ὑμῖν. Ἐπιστήσω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς τὴν ἀπορίαν, καὶ σπερεῖτε διακενῆς τὰ σπέρματα ὑμῶν, καὶ ἔδονται τοὺς πόνους ὑμῶν οἱ ὑπεναντίοι ὑμῶν. Καὶ ἐπιστήσω τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, καὶ πεσεῖσθε ἐναντίον τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ διώξονται ὑμᾶς, καὶ φεύξεσθε οὐδενὸς διώκοντος ὑμᾶς· καὶ συντρίψω τὴν ὕβριν τῆς ὑπερηφανίας ὑμῶν· καὶ θήσω τὸν οὐρανὸν ὑμῖν ὡς σιδηροῦν, καὶ τὴν γῆν ὡσεὶ χαλκῆν. Καὶ ἔσται εἰς κενόν ἡ ἰσχὺς ὑμῶν, καὶ ἡ γῆ ὑμῶν οὐ δώσει τὸν σπόρον αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ ξύλα τοῦ ἀγροῦ οὐ δώσει τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν. Καὶ ἀποστελῶ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς τὰ θηρία τὰ ἄγρια τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐξαναλώσει τὰ κτήνη ὑμῶν, καὶ ὀλιγοστοὺς ποιήσει ὑμᾶς ἐπιπορευομένη μάχαιρα. Καὶ ἔσται ἡ γῆ ὑμῶν ἔρημος καὶ αἱ ἐπαύλεις ὑμῶν ἔσονται ἔρημοι· ὅτι ὑμεῖς ἐπορεύθητε πρὸς μὲ πλάγιοι, κἀγὼ πορεύσομαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν θυμῷ πλαγίῳ· λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεός, ὁ Ἅγιος Ἰσραήλ.

The Lord spoke to the children of Israel and said to them, “If you walk in My ordinances and keep My commandments, and do them, then I will give you rain in its season, the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. Your threshing shall last till the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last till the time of sowing; and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. War shall not pass through your land, and I will give peace in the land; and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid; and I will utterly destroy the bad wild animals from the land. You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by slaughter before you. Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you. For I will look upon you and make you fruitful, and multiply and establish My covenant with you. You shall eat the old harvest of the past two years, and clear out the old because of the new. I will establish My covenant among you, and My soul shall not abhor you. I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people. Now if you do not obey Me, neither do all these ordinances, but your soul disobeys them and despises My judgments, so as not to do all My commandments but to shatter My covenant, I also will do thus to you: I will bring difficulty upon you, both the itch, the jaundice, the gangrenous eyes, and the withering away of your life. You shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. I will set My face against you, and you shall fall before your enemies. Those who hate you shall pursue you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you. I will crush your excessive arrogance; I will make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze. Your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit. I will also send among you the wild animals of the land; and they will eat you, and utterly destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your highways shall be desolate. I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and the sword shall suddenly destroy you. Then your land shall be a desert and your cities deserts. That they transgressed and disregarded Me and walked contrary to Me, and that I also have walked in hostility to them and destroyed them in the land of their enemies,” says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel.

Σολ 4:7 – 15

WSol 4:7 – 15

Δίκαιος ἐὰν φθάσῃ τελευτῆσαι, ἐν ἀναπαύσει ἔσται· γῆρας γὰρ τίμιον, οὐ τὸ πολυχρόνιον, οὐδὲ ἀριθμῷ ἐτῶν μεμέτρηται. Πολιὰ δέ ἐστι φρόνησις ἀνθρώποις, καὶ ἡλικία γήρως, βίος ἀκηλίδωτος. Εὐάρεστος Θεῷ γενόμενος, ἠγαπήθη, καὶ ζῶν μεταξὺ ἁμαρτωλῶν, μετετέθη. Ἡρπάγη, μὴ κακία ἀλλάξῃ σύνεσιν αὐτοῦ, ἢ δόλος ἀπατήσῃ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ. Βασκανία γὰρ φαυλότητος ἀμαυροῖ τὰ καλά, καὶ ῥεμβασμὸς ἐπιθυμίας μεταλλεύει νοῦν ἄκακον. Τελειωθεὶς ἐν ὀλίγῳ, ἐπλήρωσε χρόνους μακρούς· ἀρεστὴ γὰρ ἦν Κυρίῳ ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ· διὰ τοῦτο ἔσπευσεν ἐκ μέσου πονηρίας. Οἱ δὲ λαοὶ ἰδόντες καὶ μὴ νοήσαντες, μηδὲ θέντες ἐπὶ διανοίᾳ τὸ τοιοῦτον, ὅτι χάρις καὶ ἔλεος ἐν τοῖς ὁσίοις αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπισκοπὴ ἐν τοῖς ἐκλεκτοῖς αὐτοῦ.

Though a righteous man may die before his time, he shall be at rest. For old age is not honored for its length of existence, nor measured by its number of years; but discernment is gray hair for mankind, and a spotless life is the maturity of old age. There was once a man pleasing to God and loved by Him, and while living among sinners he was taken up. He was caught up lest evil change his understanding or deceit deceive his soul. For envy arising from lack of judgment obscures what is good, and a whirling of desire undermines an innocent heart. He was made perfect, for in a short time he fulfilled long years, for his soul was pleasing to the Lord; therefore, He took him early from the midst of evil. Yet peoples saw this but did not understand, nor take such a thing to heart, that the Lord’s grace and mercy are with His elect and that He watches over His holy ones. [SAAS]

Νῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου, Δέσποτα, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου, ἐν εἰρήνῃ· ὅτι εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου τὸ σωτήριόν σου, ὃ ἡτοίμασας κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν· φῶς εἰς ἀποκάλυψιν ἐθνῶν, καὶ δόξαν λαοῦ σου Ἰσραήλ.

Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word; for my eyes have seen Your salvation which You have prepared before the face of all peoples. A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel. [NKJV]

Sasa, Bwana, wamruhusu mtumishi wako aende kwa amani, kama ulivyosema; kwa kuwa macho yangu yameuona wokovu wako, ulioweka tayari machoni pa watu wote; nuru ya kuwa mwangaza wa Mataifa, na kuwa utukufu wa watu wako Israeli. [[SWA]]

Καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν, ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφίεμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν. Καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν, ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Baba yetu uliye Mbinguni; Jina lako litukuzwe; Ufalme wako uje; mapenzi yako yatimizwe, hapa Duniani kama huko Mbinguni. Utupe leo mkate wetu wa kila siku; na utusamehe deni zetu; kama sisi tuwasamehevyo wadeni wetu; tena usitutie majaribuni, lakini tuokoe na yule mwovu.
