אֱלֹהִים בְּאָזְנֵינוּ שָׁמַעְנוּ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ סִפְּרוּ־לָנוּ פֹּעַל פָּעַלְתָּ בִימֵיהֶם בִּימֵי קֶדֶם
O G-d, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us; a work Thou didst in their days, in the days of old.
Ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν ἡμῶν ἠκούσαμεν, οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἀνήγγειλαν ἡμῖν, ἔργον ὃ εἰργάσω ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτῶν, ἐν ἡμεραίς ἀρχαίαις.
O God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have told us, The work which thou wroughtest in their days, in the days of old.
3
אַתָּה יָדְךָ גּוֹיִם הוֹרַשְׁתָּ וַתִּטָּעֵם תָּרַע לְאֻמִּים וַתְּשַׁלְּחֵם
Thou with Thy hand didst drive out the nations, and didst plant them in; Thou didst break the peoples, and didst spread them abroad.
Ἡ χείρ σου ἔθνη ἐξωλόθρευσε, καὶ κατεφύτευσας αὐτοὺς, ἐκάκωσας λαοὺς καὶ ἐξέβαλες αὐτούς.
Thine hand utterly destroyed the heathen, and thou didst plant them: Thou didst afflict the nations, and cast them out.
4
כִּי לֹא בְחַרְבָּם יָרְשׁוּ אָרֶץ וּזְרוֹעָם לֹא־הוֹשִׁיעָה לָּמוֹ כִּי־יְמִינְךָ וּזְרוֹעֲךָ וְאוֹר פָּנֶיךָ כִּי רְצִיתָם
For not by their own sword did they get the land in possession, neither did their own arm save them; but Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance, because Thou wast favourable unto them.
Οὐ γὰρ ἐν τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ αὐτῶν ἐκληρονόμησαν γῆν, καὶ ὁ βραχίων αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔσωσεν αὐτοὺς, ἀλλὰ ἡ δεξιά σου καὶ ὁ βραχίων σου, καὶ ὁ φωτισμὸς τοῦ προσώπου σου, ὅτι εὐδόκησας ἐν αὐτοῖς.
For they inherited not the land by their [own] sword, And their [own] arm did not deliver them; But thy right hand, and thine arm, And the light of thy countenance, because thou wert well pleased in them.
5
אַתָּה־הוּא מַלְכִּי אֱלֹהִים צַוֵּה יְשׁוּעוֹת יַעֲקֹב
Thou art my King, O G-d; command the salvation of Jacob.
Σὺ εἶ αὐτὸς ὁ βασιλεύς μου καὶ ὁ Θεός μου, ὁ ἐντελλόμενος τὰς σωτηρίας Ἰακώβ.
Thou art indeed my King and my God, Who commandest deliverances for Jacob.
6
בְּךָ צָרֵינוּ נְנַגֵּחַ בְּשִׁמְךָ נָבוּס קָמֵינוּ
Through Thee do we push down our adversaries; through Thy name do we tread them under that rise up against us.
Ἐν σοὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ἡμῶν κερατιοῦμεν, καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἐξουθενώσομεν τοὺς ἐπανισταμένους ἡμῖν.
In thee will we push down our enemies, And in thy name will we bring to nought them that rise up against us.
7
כִּי לֹא בְקַשְׁתִּי אֶבְטָח וְחַרְבִּי לֹא תוֹשִׁיעֵנִי
For I trust not in my bow, neither can my sword save me.
Οὐ γὰρ ἐπὶ τῷ τόξῳ μου ἐλπιῶ, καὶ ἡ ῥομφαία μου οὐ σώσει με.
For I will not trust in my bow, And my sword shall not save me.
8
כִּי הוֹשַׁעְתָּנוּ מִצָּרֵינוּ וּמְשַׂנְאֵינוּ הֱבִישׁוֹתָ
But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
Ἔσωσας γὰρ ἡμᾶς ἐκ τῶν θλιβόντων ἡμᾶς, καὶ τοὺς μισοῦντας ἡμᾶς κατῄσχυνας.
For thou hast saved us from them that afflicted us, And hast put to shame them that hated us.
9
בֵּאלֹהִים הִלַּלְנוּ כָל־הַיּוֹם וְשִׁמְךָ לְעוֹלָם נוֹדֶה סֶלָה
In G-d have we gloried all the day, and we will give thanks unto Thy name for ever. Selah
Ἐν τῷ Θεῷ ἐπαινεθησόμεθα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἐξομολογησόμεθα εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. διάψαλμα.
In God will we make our boast all the day, And to thy name will we give thanks forever. Pause.
10
אַף־זָנַחְתָּ וַתַּכְלִימֵנוּ וְלֹא־תֵצֵא בְּצִבְאוֹתֵינוּ
Yet Thou hast cast off, and brought us to confusion; and goest not forth with our hosts.
Νυνὶ δὲ ἀπώσω καὶ κατῄσχυνας ἡμᾶς, καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσῃ ἐν ταῖς δυνάμεσιν ἡμῶν.
But now thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; And thou wilt not go forth with our hosts.
11
תְּשִׁיבֵנוּ אָחוֹר מִנִּי־צָר וּמְשַׂנְאֵינוּ שָׁסוּ לָמוֹ
Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; and they that hate us spoil at their will.
Ἀπέστρεψας ἡμᾶς εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω παρὰ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ἡμῶν, καὶ οἱ μισοῦντες ἡμᾶς διήρπαζον ἑαυτοῖς.
Thou hast turned us back before our enemies; And they that hated us spoiled for themselves.
12
תִּתְּנֵנוּ כְּצֹאן מַאֲכָל וּבַגּוֹיִם זֵרִיתָנוּ
Thou hast given us like sheep to be eaten; and hast scattered us among the nations.
Ἔδωκας ἡμᾶς ὡς πρόβατα βρώσεως, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι διέσπειρας ἡμᾶς·
Thou madest us as sheep for meat; And thou scatteredst us among the nations.
13
תִּמְכֹּר־עַמְּךָ בְלֹא־הוֹן וְלֹא־רִבִּיתָ בִּמְחִירֵיהֶם
Thou sellest Thy people for small gain, and hast not set their prices high.
Ἀπέδου τὸν λαόν σου ἄνευ τιμῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἦν πλῆθος ἐν τοῖς ἀλαλάγμασιν αὐτῶν.
Thou hast sold thy people without price, And there was no profit by their exchange.
14
תְּשִׂימֵנוּ חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ לַעַג וָקֶלֶס לִסְבִיבוֹתֵינוּ
Thou makest us a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
Ἔθου ἡμᾶς ὄνειδος τοῖς γείτοσιν ἡμῶν, μυκτηρισμὸν καὶ καταγέλωτα τοῖς κύκλῳ ἡμῶν.
Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
15
תְּשִׂימֵנוּ מָשָׁל בַּגּוֹיִם מְנוֹד־רֹאשׁ בַּל־אֻמִּים
Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
Ἔθου ἡμᾶς εἰς παραβολὴν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, κίνησιν κεφαλῆς ἐν τοῖς λαοῖς.
Thou hast made us a proverb among the Gentiles, A shaking of the head among the nations.
16
כָּל־הַיּוֹם כְּלִמָּתִי נֶגְדִּי וּבֹשֶׁת פָּנַי כִּסָּתְנִי
All the day is my confusion before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
Ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἡ ἐντροπή μου κατεναντίον μου ἐστὶ, καὶ ἡ αἰσχύνη τοῦ προσώπου μου ἐκάλυψέ με,
All the day my shame is before me, And the confusion of my face has covered me,
17
מִקּוֹל מְחָרֵף וּמְגַדֵּף מִפְּנֵי אוֹיֵב וּמִתְנַקֵּם
For the voice of him that taunteth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the revengeful.
ἀπὸ φωνῆς ὀνειδίζοντος καὶ παραλαλοῦντος, ἀπὸ προσώπου ἐχθροῦ καὶ ἐκδιώκοντος.
Because of the voice of the slanderer and reviler; Because of the enemy and avenger.
18
כָּל־זֹאת בָּאַתְנוּ וְלֹא שְׁכַחֲנוּךָ וְלֹא־שִׁקַּרְנוּ בִּבְרִיתֶךָ
All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten Thee, neither have we been false to Thy covenant.
Ταῦτα πάντα ἦλθεν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, καὶ οὐκ ἐπελαθόμεθά σου, καὶ οὐκ ἠδικήσαμεν ἐν διαθήκῃ σου.
All these things are come upon us: but we have not forgotten thee, Neither have we dealt unrighteously in thy covenant.
19
לֹא־נָסוֹג אָחוֹר לִבֵּנוּ וַתֵּט אֲשֻׁרֵינוּ מִנִּי אָרְחֶךָ
Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Thy path;
Καὶ οὐκ ἀπέστη εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐξέκλινας τὰς τρίβους ἡμῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ σου.
And our heart has not gone back; But thou hast turned aside our paths from thy way.
20
כִּי דִכִּיתָנוּ בִּמְקוֹם תַּנִּים וַתְּכַס עָלֵינוּ בְצַלְמָוֶת
Though Thou hast crushed us into a place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
Ὅτι ἐταπείνωσας ἡμᾶς ἐν τόπῳ κακώσεως, καὶ ἐπεκάλυψεν ἡμᾶς σκιὰ θανάτου.
For thou hast laid us low in a place of affliction, And the shadow of death has covered us.
21
אִם־שָׁכַחְנוּ שֵׁם אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַנִּפְרֹשׂ כַּפֵּינוּ לְאֵל זָר
If we had forgotten the name of our G-d, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
Εἰ ἐπελαθόμεθα τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, καὶ εἰ διεπετάσαμεν χεῖρας ἡμῶν πρὸς θεὸν ἀλλότριον,
If we have forgotten the name of our God, And if we have spread out our hands to a strange god; Shall not God search these things out?
22
הֲלֹא אֱלֹהִים יַחֲקָר־זֹאת כִּי־הוּא יֹדֵעַ תַּעֲלֻמוֹת לֵב
Would not G-d search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.
οὐχὶ ὁ Θεὸς ἐκζητήσει ταῦτα; αὐτὸς γὰρ γινώσκει τὰ κρύφια τῆς καρδίας.
For he knows the secrets of the heart.
23
כִּי־עָלֶיךָ הֹרַגְנוּ כָל־הַיּוֹם נֶחְשַׁבְנוּ כְּצֹאן טִבְחָה
Nay, but for Thy sake are we killed all the day; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Ὅτι ἕνεκά σου θανατούμεθα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, ἐλογίσθημεν ὡς πρόβατα σφαγῆς.
For, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; We are counted as sheep for slaughter.
24
עוּרָה לָמָּה תִישַׁן אֲדֹנָי הָקִיצָה אַל־תִּזְנַח לָנֶצַח
Awake, why sleepest Thou, O L-rd? Arouse Thyself, cast not off for ever.
Ἐξεγέρθητι, ἱνατί ὑπνοῖς Κύριε; ἀνάστηθι, καὶ μὴ ἀπώσῃ εἰς τέλος.
Awake, wherefore sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, and do not cast [us] off forever.
25
לָמָּה־פָנֶיךָ תַסְתִּיר תִּשְׁכַּח עָנְיֵנוּ וְלַחֲצֵנוּ
Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
Ἱνατί τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀποστρέφεις; ἐπιλανθάνῃ τῆς πτωχείας ἡμῶν καὶ τῆς θλίψεως ἡμῶν;
Wherefore turnest thou thy face away, [And] forgettest our poverty and our affliction?
26
כִּי שָׁחָה לֶעָפָר נַפְשֵׁנוּ דָּבְקָה לָאָרֶץ בִּטְנֵנוּ
For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
Ὅτι ἐταπεινώθη εἰς χοῦν ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν, ἐκολλήθη εἰς γῆν ἡ γαστὴρ ἡμῶν.
For our soul has been brought down to the dust; Our belly has cloven to the earth.
27
קוּמָה עֶזְרָתָה לָּנוּ וּפְדֵנוּ לְמַעַן חַסְדֶּךָ
Arise for our help, and redeem us for Thy mercy's sake.
Ἀνάστα Κύριε, βοήθησον ἡμῖν, καὶ λύτρωσαι ἡμᾶς ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου.
Arise, O Lord, help us, And redeem us for thy name’s sake.
