1
הַלְלְויָהּ הוֹדוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ
Hallelujah. O give thanks unto HaShem; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.
Ἀλληλούϊα. Ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι χρηστὸς, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ.
Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord; for he is good: For his mercy [endures] forever.
2
מִי יְמַלֵּל גְּבוּרוֹת יְהוָה יַשְׁמִיעַ כָּל־תְּהִלָּתוֹ
Who can express the mighty acts of HaShem, or make all His praise to be heard?
Τίς λαλήσει τὰς δυναστείας τοῦ Κυρίου, ἀκουστὰς ποιήσει πάσας τὰς αἰνέσεις αὐτοῦ;
Who shall tell the mighty acts of the Lord? [Who] shall cause all his praises to be heard?
3
אַשְׁרֵי שֹׁמְרֵי מִשְׁפָּט עֹשֵׂה צְדָקָה בְכָל־עֵת
Happy are they that keep justice, that do righteousness at all times.
Μακάριοι οἱ φυλάσσοντες κρίσιν, καὶ ποιοῦντες δικαιοσύνην ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ.
Blessed are they that keep judgment, And do righteousness at all times.
4
זָכְרֵנִי יְהוָה בִּרְצוֹן עַמֶּךָ פָּקְדֵנִי בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ
Remember me, O HaShem, when Thou favourest Thy people; O think of me at Thy salvation;
Μνήσθητι ἡμῶν Κύριε ἐν τῇ εὐδοκίᾳ τοῦ λαοῦ σου, ἐπίσκεψαι ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου·
Remember us, O Lord, with the favor [thou hast] to thy people: Visit us with thy salvation;
5
לִרְאוֹת בְּטוֹבַת בְּחִירֶיךָ לִשְׂמֹחַ בְּשִׂמְחַת גּוֹיֶךָ לְהִתְהַלֵּל עִם־נַחֲלָתֶךָ
That I may behold the prosperity of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I 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.
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.
6
חָטָאנוּ עִם־אֲבוֹתֵינוּ הֶעֱוִינוּ הִרְשָׁעְנוּ
We have sinned with our fathers, we have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.
Ἡμάρτομεν μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, ἠνομήσαμεν, ἠδικήσαμεν.
We have sinned with our fathers, We have transgressed, we have done unrighteously.
7
אֲבוֹתֵינוּ בְמִצְרַיִם לֹא־הִשְׂכִּילוּ נִפְלְאוֹתֶיךָ לֹא זָכְרוּ אֶת־רֹב חֲסָדֶיךָ וַיַּמְרוּ עַל־יָם בְּיַם־סוּף
Our fathers in Egypt gave no heed unto Thy wonders; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but were rebellious at the sea, even at 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.
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.
8
וַיּוֹשִׁיעֵם לְמַעַן שְׁמוֹ לְהוֹדִיעַ אֶת־גְּבוּרָתוֹ
Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.
Καὶ ἔσωσεν αὐτοὺς ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ, τοῦ γνωρίσαι τὴν δυναστείαν αὐτοῦ.
Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, That he might cause his mighty power to be known.
9
וַיִּגְעַר בְּיַם־סוּף ו͏ַיֶּחֱרָב וַיּוֹלִיכֵם בַּתְּהֹמוֹת כַּמִּדְבָּר
And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
Καὶ ἐπετίμησε τῇ ἐρυθρᾷ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ἐξηράνθη· καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἀβύσσῳ ὡς ἐν ἐρήμῳ·
And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: So he led them through the deep as through the wilderness.
10
וַיּוֹשִׁיעֵם מִיַּד שׂוֹנֵא וַיִּגְאָלֵם מִיַּד אוֹיֵב
And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
Καὶ ἔσωσεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς μισούντων, καὶ ἐλυτρώσατο αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθροῦ.
And he saved them out of the hand of them that hated [them], And redeemed them out of the hand of the enemy.
11
וַיְכַסּוּ־מַיִם צָרֵיהֶם אֶחָד מֵהֶם לֹא נוֹתָר
And the waters covered their adversaries; there was not one of them left.
Ἐκάλυψεν ὕδωρ τοὺς θλίβοντας αὐτοὺς, εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐχ ὑπελείφθη.
The water covered those that oppressed them: There was not one of them left.
12
וַיַּאֲמִינוּ בִדְבָרָיו יָשִׁירוּ תְּהִלָּתוֹ
Then believed they His words; they sang His praise.
Καὶ ἐπίστευσαν τοῖς λόγοις αὐτοῦ, καὶ ᾔνεσαν τὴν αἴνεσιν αὐτοῦ.
Then they believed his words, And celebrated his praise.
13
מִהֲרוּ שָׁכְחוּ מַעֲשָׂיו לֹא־חִכּוּ לַעֲצָתוֹ
They soon forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel;
Ἐτάχυναν, ἐπελάθοντο τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ, οὐχ ὑπέμειναν τὴν βουλὴν αὐτοῦ.
They made haste, they forgot his works; They waited not for his counsel.
14
וַיִּתְאַוּוּ תַאֲוָה בַּמִּדְבָּר וַיְנַסּוּ־אֵל בִּישִׁימוֹן
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tried G-d in the desert.
Καὶ ἐπεθύμησαν ἐπιθυμίαν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ ἐπείρασαν τὸν Θεὸν ἐν ἀνύδρῳ.
And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the dry [land].
15
וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם שֶׁאֱלָתָם וַיְשַׁלַּח רָזוֹן בְּנַפְשָׁם
And He gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
Καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς τὸ αἴτημα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε πλησμονὴν εἰς τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτῶν.
And he gave them their request, And sent fullness into their souls.
16
וַיְקַנְאוּ לְמֹשֶׁה בַּמַּחֲנֶה לְאַהֲרֹן קְדוֹשׁ יְהוָה
They were jealous also of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron the holy one of HaShem.
Καὶ παρώργισαν Μωυσῆν ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ, καὶ Ἀαρὼν τὸν ἅγιον Κυρίου.
They provoked Moses also in the camp, And Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
17
תִּפְתַּח־אֶרֶץ וַתִּבְלַע דָּתָן וַתְּכַס עַל־עֲדַת אֲבִירָם
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
Ἠνοίχθη ἡ γῆ καὶ κατέπιε Δαθὰν, καὶ ἐκάλυψεν ἐπὶ τὴν συναγωγὴν Ἀβειρών.
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And closed upon the congregation of Abiram.
18
וַתִּבְעַר־אֵשׁ בַּעֲדָתָם לֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט רְשָׁעִים
And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
Καὶ ἐξεκαύθη πῦρ ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ αὐτῶν, καὶ φλὸξ κατέφλεξεν ἁμαρτωλούς.
And a fire was kindled in their congregation, And a flame burned up the sinners.
19
יַעֲשׂוּ־עֵגֶל בְּחֹרֵב וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְמַסֵּכָה
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped a molten image.
Καὶ ἐποίησαν μόσχον ἐν Χωρὴβ, καὶ προσεκύνησαν τῷ γλυπτῷ·
And they made a calf in Horeb, And worshiped the graven image,
20
וַיָּמִירוּ אֶת־כְּבוֹדָם בְּתַבְנִית שׁוֹר אֹכֵל עֵשֶׂב
Thus they exchanged their glory for the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.
Καὶ ἠλλάξαντο τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν ἐν ὁμοιώματι μόσχου ἔσθοντος χόρτον.
And they changed their glory Into the similitude of a calf that feeds on grass.
21
שָׁכְחוּ אֵל מוֹשִׁיעָם עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלוֹת בְּמִצְרָיִם
They forgot G-d their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;
Ἐπελάθοντο τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ σώζοντος αὐτοὺς, τοῦ ποιήσαντος μεγάλα ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ,
They forgot God that saved them, Who had wrought great deeds in Egypt;
22
נִפְלָאוֹת בְּאֶרֶץ חָם נוֹרָאוֹת עַל־יַם־סוּף
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea.
θαυμαστὰ ἐν γῇ Χὰμ, καὶ φοβερὰ ἐπὶ θαλάσσης ἐρυθρᾶς.
Wondrous [works] in the land of Ham, And terrible things at the Red Sea.
23
וַיֹּאמֶר לְהַשְׁמִידָם לוּלֵי מֹשֶׁה בְחִירוֹ עָמַד בַּפֶּרֶץ לְפָנָיו לְהָשִׁיב חֲמָתוֹ מֵהַשְׁחִית
Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, to turn back His wrath, lest He should destroy them.
Καὶ εἶπε τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι αὐτοὺς, εἰ μὴ Μωυσῆς ὁ ἐκλεκτὸς αὐτοῦ ἔστη ἐν τῇ θραύσει ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι ἀπὸ θυμοῦ ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ, τοῦ μὴ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι.
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.
24
וַיִּמְאֲסוּ בְּאֶרֶץ חֶמְדָּה לֹא־הֶאֱמִינוּ לִדְבָרוֹ
Moreover, they scorned the desirable land, they believed not His word;
Καὶ ἐξουδένωσαν γῆν ἐπιθυμητὴν, καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν τῷ λόγῳ αὐτοῦ.
Moreover they set at nought the desirable land, And believed not his word.
25
וַיֵּרָגְנוּ בְאָהֳלֵיהֶם לֹא שָׁמְעוּ בְּקוֹל יְהוָה
And they murmured in their tents, they hearkened not unto the voice of HaShem.
Καὶ ἐγόγγυσαν ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν αὐτῶν, οὐκ εἰσήκουσαν τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου.
And they murmured in their tents: They hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.
26
וַיִּשָּׂא יָדוֹ לָהֶם לְהַפִּיל אוֹתָם בַּמִּדְבָּר
Therefore He swore concerning them, that He would overthrow them in the wilderness;
Καὶ ἐπῇρε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, τοῦ καταβαλεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ,
So he lifted up his hand against them, To cast them down in the wilderness;
27
וּלְהַפִּיל זַרְעָם בַּגּוֹיִם וּלְזָרוֹתָם בָּאֲרָצוֹת
And that He would cast out their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
καὶ τοῦ καταβαλεῖν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ διασκορπίσαι αὐτοὺς ἐν ταῖς χώραις.
And to cast down their seed among the nations, And to scatter them in the countries.
28
וַיִּצָּמְדוּ לְבַעַל פְּעוֹר וַיֹּאכְלוּ זִבְחֵי מֵתִים
They joined themselves also unto Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
Καὶ ἐτελέσθησαν τῷ Βεελφεγὼρ, καὶ ἔφαγον θυσίας νεκρῶν.
They were joined also to Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead. And they provoked him with their devices;
29
וַיַּכְעִיסוּ בְּמַעַלְלֵיהֶם וַתִּפְרָץ־בָּם מַגֵּפָה
Thus they provoked Him with their doings, and the plague broke in upon them.
Καὶ παρώξυναν αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπληθύνθη ἐν αὐτοῖς ἡ πτῶσις.
And destruction was multiplied among them.
30
וַיַּעֲמֹד פִּינְחָס וַיְפַלֵּל וַתֵּעָצַר הַמַּגֵּפָה
Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment, and so the plague was stayed.
Καὶ ἔστη Φινεὲς καὶ ἐξιλάσατο, καὶ ἐκόπασεν ἡ θραῦσις.
Then Phinehas stood up, and made atonement: And the plague ceased.
31
וַתֵּחָשֶׁב לוֹ לִצְדָקָה לְדֹר וָדֹר עַד־עוֹלָם
And that was counted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations for ever.
Καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην, εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεὰν ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.
And it was counted to him for righteousness, To all generations forever.
32
וַיַּקְצִיפוּ עַל־מֵי מְרִיבָה וַיֵּרַע לְמֹשֶׁה בַּעֲבוּרָם
They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses because of them;
Καὶ παρώργισαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ ὕδατος ἀντιλογίας, καὶ ἐκακώθη Μωυσῆς διʼ αὐτούς·
They provoked him also at the water of Strife, And Moses was hurt for their sakes;
33
כִּי־הִמְרוּ אֶת־רוּחוֹ וַיְבַטֵּא בִּשְׂפָתָיו
For they embittered his spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips.
Ὅτι παρεπίκραναν τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ διέστειλεν ἐν τοῖς χείλεσιν αὐτοῦ.
For they provoked his spirit, And he spoke [unadvisedly] with his lips.
34
לֹא־הִשְׁמִידוּ אֶת־הָעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר אָמַר יְהוָה לָהֶם
They did not destroy the peoples, as HaShem commanded them;
Οὐκ ἐξωλόθρευσαν τὰ ἔθνη ἃ εἶπε Κύριος αὐτοῖς.
They destroyed not the nations which the Lord told them [to destroy];
35
וַיִּתְעָרְבוּ בַגּוֹיִם וַיִּלְמְדוּ מַעֲשֵׂיהֶם
But mingled themselves with the nations, and learned their works;
Καὶ ἐμίγησαν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ ἔμαθον τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν.
But were mingled with the heathen, And learned their works.
36
וַיַּעַבְדוּ אֶת־עֲצַבֵּיהֶם וַיִּהְיוּ לָהֶם לְמוֹקֵשׁ

Καὶ ἐδούλευσαν τοῖς γλυπτοῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτοῖς εἰς σκάνδαλον.
And they served their graven images; And it became an offense to them.
37
וַיִּזְבְּחוּ אֶת־בְּנֵיהֶם וְאֶת־בְּנוֹתֵיהֶם לַשֵּׁדִים
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
Καὶ ἔθυσαν τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν τοῖς δαιμονίοις,
And they sacrificed their sons And their daughters to devils,
38
וַיִּשְׁפְּכוּ דָם נָקִי דַּם־בְּנֵיהֶם וּבְנוֹתֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר זִבְּחוּ לַעֲצַבֵּי כְנָעַן וַתֶּחֱנַף הָאָרֶץ בַּדָּמִים
And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.
καὶ ἐξέχεαν αἷμα ἀθῶον, αἷμα υἱῶν αὐτῶν καὶ θυγατέρων, ὧν ἔθυσαν τοῖς γλυπτοῖς Χαναάν· καὶ ἐφονοκτονήθη ἡ γῆ ἐν τοῖς αἵμασι,
And shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was defiled with blood,
39
וַיִּטְמְאוּ בְמַעֲשֵׂיהֶם וַיִּזְנוּ בְּמַעַלְלֵיהֶם
Thus were they defiled with their works, and went astray in their doings.
καὶ ἐμιάνθη ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐπόρνευσαν ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν αὐτῶν.
And was polluted with their works; And they went a-whoring with their own devices.
40
וַיִּחַר־אַף יְהוָה בְּעַמּוֹ וַיְתָעֵב אֶת־נַחֲלָתוֹ
Therefore was the wrath of HaShem kindled against His people, and He abhorred His inheritance.
Καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ Κύριος ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐβδελύξατο τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ.
So the Lord was very angry with his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.
41
וַיִּתְּנֵם בְּיַד־גּוֹיִם וַיִּמְשְׁלוּ בָהֶם שֹׂנְאֵיהֶם
And He gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them.
Καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν, καὶ ἐκυρίευσαν αὐτῶν οἱ μισοῦντες αὐτούς.
And he delivered them into the hands of [their] enemies; And they that hated them ruled over them.
42
וַיִּלְחָצוּם אוֹיְבֵיהֶם וַיִּכָּנְעוּ תַּחַת יָדָם

Καὶ ἔθλιψαν αὐτοὺς οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐταπεινώθησαν ὑπὸ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν.
And their enemies oppressed them, And they were brought down under their hands.
43
פְּעָמִים רַבּוֹת יַצִּילֵם וְהֵמָּה יַמְרוּ בַעֲצָתָם וַיָּמֹכּוּ בַּעֲוֺנָם
Many times did He deliver them; but they were rebellious in their counsel, and sank low through their iniquity.
Πλεονάκις ἐῤῥύσατο αὐτοὺς, αὐτοὶ δὲ παρεπίκραναν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ βουλῇ αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐταπεινώθησαν ἐν ταῖς ἀνομίαις αὐτῶν.
Many a time he delivered them; But they provoked him by their counsel, And they were brought low by their iniquities.
44
וַיַּרְא בַּצַּר לָהֶם בְּשָׁמְעוֹ אֶת־רִנָּתָם
Nevertheless He looked upon their distress, when He heard their cry;
Καὶ εἶδε Κύριος ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαι αὐτοὺς, ἐν τῷ αὐτὸν εἰσακοῦσαι τῆς δεήσεως αὐτῶν.
Yet the Lord looked upon their affliction, When he heard their petition.
45
וַיִּזְכֹּר לָהֶם בְּרִיתוֹ וַיִּנָּחֵם כְּרֹב חסדו חֲסָדָיו
And He remembered for them His covenant, and repented according to the multitude of His mercies.
Καὶ ἐμνήσθη τῆς διαθήκης αὐτοῦ, καὶ μετεμελήθη κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ ἐλέους αὐτοῦ.
And he remembered his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his mercy.
46
וַיִּתֵּן אוֹתָם לְרַחֲמִים לִפְנֵי כָּל־שׁוֹבֵיהֶם

Καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς οἰκτιρμοὺς ἐναντίον πάντων τῶν αἰχμαλωτευσάντων αὐτούς.
And he caused them to be pitied In the sight of all who carried them captive.
47
הוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְקַבְּצֵנוּ מִן־הַגּוֹיִם לְהֹדוֹת לְשֵׁם קָדְשֶׁךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּחַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶךָ
Save us, O HaShem our G-d, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, that we may triumph 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.
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.
48
בָּרוּךְ־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן־הָעוֹלָם וְעַד הָעוֹלָם וְאָמַר כָּל־הָעָם אָמֵן הַלְלוּ־יָהּ
Blessed be HaShem, the G-d of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting, and let all the people say: 'Amen.' Hallelujah. BOOK V
