Mezmurlar 113

¹Rab'be övgüler sunun! İsrail Mısır'dan çıktığında, Yakup'un soyu yabancı dil konuşan barbar bir halktan ayrıldığında,

²Yahuda O'nun kutsal tapınağı oldu, İsrail ise O'nun egemenlik alanı.

³Deniz bunu gördü ve kaçtı, Şeria Irmağı arkaya doğru döndürüldü.

⁴Dağlar koçlar gibi sıçradı, tepeler ise koyunların kuzuları gibi.

⁵Sana ne oldu ey deniz, neden kaçtın? Ve sen ey Şeria, neden arkaya doğru döndürüldün?

⁶Ey dağlar, size ne oldu da koçlar gibi sıçradınız? Ve siz ey tepeler, neden koyunların kuzuları gibi oynaştınız?

⁷Rab'bin huzurunda, Yakup'un Tanrısı'nın huzurunda sarsıldı yeryüzü!

⁸O ki, sert kayayı su havuzlarına, sarp kayalıkları su pınarlarına çevirdi.

⁹Bize değil ey Rab, bize değil, aksine kendi adına yücelik ver; merhametin ve hakikatin uğruna!

¹⁰Uluslar asla, "Hani nerede onların Tanrısı?" demesinler.

¹¹Bizim Tanrımız ise göklerdedir; yerde ve gökte dilediği her şeyi yapmıştır.

¹²Ulusların putları gümüş ve altındır, insan ellerinin yapıtıdır.

¹³Ağızları vardır ama konuşmayacaklar, gözleri vardır ama görmeyecekler;

¹⁴Kulakları vardır ama işitmeyecekler, burunları vardır ama koku almayacaklar;

¹⁵Elleri vardır ama dokunmayacaklar, ayakları vardır ama yürümeyecekler; gırtlaklarından hiçbir ses çıkarmayacaklar.

¹⁶Onları yapanlar da onlara güvenenlerin hepsi de tıpkı onlar gibi olsunlar!

¹⁷İsrail soyu Rab'be güvendi; O onların yardımcısı ve koruyucusudur.

¹⁸Harun soyu Rab'be güvendi; O onların yardımcısı ve koruyucusudur.

¹⁹Rab'den korkanlar Rab'be güvendiler; O onların yardımcısı ve koruyucusudur.

²⁰Rab bizi anımsayarak bizi kutsadı; İsrail soyunu kutsadı, Harun soyunu kutsadı.

²¹Rab'den korkanları, küçükleri büyüklerle birlikte kutsadı.

²²Rab üzerinize, hem sizin hem de çocuklarınızın üzerine bereketini artırarak eklesin!

²³Sizler, göğü ve yeri yaratan Rab tarafından kutsanmış olanlarsınız.

²⁴Göğün göğü Rab'be aittir, yeryüzünü ise insan oğullarına vermiştir.

²⁵Ölüler seni övmeyecek ey Rab, ne de Hades'e inenlerin hiçbirisi;

²⁶Aksine biz yaşayanlar, şimdiden sonsuzluğa dek Rab'bi öveceğiz.

¹᾿Αλληλούϊα. - ΕΝ ΕΞΟΔῼ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, οἴκου ᾿Ιακὼβ ἐκ λαοῦ βαρβάρου,

²ἐγενήθη ᾿Ιουδαία ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ, ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐξουσία αὐτοῦ.

³ἡ θάλασσα εἶδε καὶ ἔφυγεν, ὁ ᾿Ιορδάνης ἐστράφη εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω·

⁴τὰ ὄρη ἐσκίρτησαν ὡσεὶ κριοὶ καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ ὡς ἀρνία προβάτων.

⁵τί σοί ἐστι, θάλασσα, ὅτι ἔφυγες, καὶ σύ, ᾿Ιορδάνη, ὅτι ἐστράφης εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω;

⁶τὰ ὄρη, ὅτι ἐσκιρτήσατε ὡσεὶ κριοί, καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ ὡς ἀρνία προβάτων;

⁷ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου ἐσαλεύθη ἡ γῆ, ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ ᾿Ιακὼβ

⁸τοῦ στρέψαντος τὴν πέτραν εἰς λίμνας ὑδάτων καὶ τὴν ἀκρότομον εἰς πηγὰς ὑδάτων.

⁹μὴ ἡμῖν, Κύριε, μὴ ἡμῖν, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τῷ ὀνόματί σου δὸς δόξαν, ἐπὶ τῷ ἐλέει σου καὶ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου,

¹⁰μήποτε εἴπωσι τὰ ἔθνη· ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς αὐτῶν;

¹¹ὁ δὲ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐν τῇ γῇ πάντα, ὅσα ἠθέλησεν, ἐποίησε.

¹²τὰ εἴδωλα τῶν ἐθνῶν, ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον, ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων·

¹³στόμα ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐ λαλήσουσιν, ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται,

¹⁴ὦτα ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐκ ἀκούσονται, ῥῖνας ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐκ ὀσφρανθήσονται,

¹⁵χεῖρας ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐ ψηλαφήσουσι, πόδας ἔχουσι καὶ οὐ περιπατήσουσιν, οὐ φωνήσουσιν ἐν τῷ λάρυγγι αὐτῶν.

¹⁶ὅμοιοι αὐτοῖς γένοιντο οἱ ποιοῦντες αὐτὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς.

¹⁷οἶκος ᾿Ισραὴλ ἤλπισεν ἐπὶ Κύριον· βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν.

¹⁸οἶκος ᾿Ααρὼν ἤλπισεν ἐπὶ Κύριον· βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν.

¹⁹οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Κύριον ἤλπισαν ἐπὶ Κύριον· βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν.

²⁰Κύριος μνησθεὶς ἡμῶν εὐλόγησεν ἡμᾶς, εὐλόγησε τὸν οἶκον ᾿Ισραήλ, εὐλόγησε τὸν οἶκον ᾿Ααρών,

²¹εὐλόγησε τοὺς φοβουμένους τὸν Κύριον, τοὺς μικροὺς μετὰ τῶν μεγάλων.

²²προσθείη Κύριος ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς, ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς ὑμῶν.

²³εὐλογημένοι ὑμεῖς τῷ Κυρίῳ τῷ ποιήσαντι τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν.

²⁴ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ, τὴν δὲ γῆν ἔδωκε τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων.

²⁵οὐχ οἱ νεκροὶ αἰνέσουσί σε, Κύριε, οὐδὲ πάντες οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς ᾅδου,

²⁶ἀλλ᾿ ἡμεῖς οἱ ζῶντες εὐλογήσομεν τὸν Κύριον, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν, καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.

¹[Alleluia.] At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

²Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

³The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

⁴The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.

⁵What [ailed] thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? and thou Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

⁶[Ye] mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and [ye] hills, like lambs?

⁷The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

⁸who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.

⁹Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to thy name give glory, because of thy mercy and thy truth;

¹⁰lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?

¹¹But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatsoever he has pleased.

¹²The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.

¹³They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see:

¹⁴they have ears, but they cannot hear; they have noses, but they cannot smell;

¹⁵they have hands, but they cannot handle; they have feet, but they cannot walk: they cannot speak through their throat.

¹⁶Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.

¹⁷The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

¹⁸The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

¹⁹They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

²⁰The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.

²¹He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.

²²The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.

²³Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

²⁴The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.

²⁵The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.

²⁶But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
