DRB Douay-Rheims (Challoner), American Edition 1899
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Understanding for Asaph. Attend, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
78:1 Masquil de Asaph. ESCUCHA, pueblo mío, mi ley: inclinad vuestro oído á las palabras de mi boca.
2 I will open my mouth in parables: I will utter propositions from the beginning.
78:2 Abriré mi boca en parábola; hablaré cosas reservadas de antiguo:
3 How great things have we heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
78:3 Las cuales hemos oído y entendido; que nuestros padres nos [las] contaron.
4 They have not been hidden from their children, in another generation. Declaring the praises of the Lord, and his powers, and his wonders which he hath done.
78:4 No las encubriremos á sus hijos, contando á la generación venidera las alabanzas de Jehová, y su fortaleza, y sus maravillas que hizo.
5 And he set up a testimony in Jacob: and made a law in Israel. How great things he commanded our fathers, that they should make the same known to their children:
78:5 El estableció testimonio en Jacob, y pusó ley en Israel; la cual mandó á nuestros padres que la notificasen á sus hijos;
6 That another generation might know them. The children that should be born and should rise up, and declare them to their children.
78:6 Para que [lo] sepa la generación venidera, y los hijos que nacerán; y [los que] se levantarán, [lo] cuenten á sus hijos;
7 That they may put their hope in God and may not forget the works of God: and may seek his commandments.
78:7 A fin de que pongan en Dios su confianza, y no se olviden de las obras de Dios, y guarden sus mandamientos:
8 That they may not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation. A generation that set not their heart aright: and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
78:8 Y no sean como sus padres, generación contumaz y rebelde; generación que no apercibió su corazón, ni fué fiel para con Dios su espíritu.
9 The sons of Ephraim who bend and shoot with the bow: they have turned back in the day of battle.
78:9 Los hijos de Ephraim armados, flecheros, volvieron [las espaldas] el día de la batalla.
10 They kept not the covenant of God: and in his law they would not walk.
78:10 No guardaron el pacto de Dios, ni quisieron andar en su ley:
11 And they forgot his benefits, and his wonders that he had shewn them.
78:11 Antes se olvidaron de sus obras, y de sus maravillas que les había mostrado.
12 Wonderful things did he do in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Tanis.
78:12 Delante de sus padres hizo maravillas en la tierra de Egipto, en el campo de Zoán.
13 He divided the sea and brought them through: and he made the waters to stand as in a vessel.
78:13 Rompió la mar, é hízolos pasar; é hizo estar las aguas como en un montón.
14 And he conducted them with a cloud by day: and all the night with a light of fire.
78:14 Y llevólos de día con nube, y toda la noche con resplandor de fuego.
15 He struck the rock in the wilderness: and gave them to drink, as out of the great deep.
78:15 Hendió las peñas en el desierto: y dióles á beber como de grandes abismos;
16 He brought forth water out of the rock: and made streams run down as rivers.
78:16 Pues sacó de la peña corrientes, é hizo descender aguas como ríos.
17 And they added yet more sin against him: they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water.
78:17 Empero aun tornaron á pecar contra él, enojando en la soledad al Altísimo.
18 And they tempted God in their hearts, by asking meat for their desires.
78:18 Pues tentaron á Dios en su corazón, pidiendo comida á su gusto.
19 And they spoke ill of God: they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
78:19 Y hablaron contra Dios, diciendo: ¿Podrá poner mesa en el desierto?
20 Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can he also give bread, or provide a table for his people?
78:20 He aquí ha herido la peña, y corrieron aguas, y arroyos salieron ondeando: ¿podrá también dar pan? ¿aparejará carne á su pueblo?
21 Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel.
78:21 Por tanto oyó Jehová, é indignóse: y encendióse el fuego contra Jacob, y el furor subió también contra Israel;
22 Because they believed not in God: and trusted not in his salvation.
78:22 Por cuanto no habían creído á Dios, ni habían confiado en su salud:
23 And he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of heaven.
78:23 A pesar de que mandó á las nubes de arriba, y abrió las puertas de los cielos,
24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the bread of heaven.
78:24 E hizo llover sobre ellos maná para comer, y dióles trigo de los cielos.
25 Man ate the bread of angels: he sent them provisions in abundance.
78:25 Pan de nobles comió el hombre: envióles comida á hartura.
26 He removed the south wind from heaven: and by his power brought in the southwest wind.
78:26 Movió el solano en el cielo, y trajo con su fortaleza el austro.
27 And he rained upon them flesh as dust: and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea.
78:27 E hizo llover sobre ellos carne como polvo, y aves de alas como arena de la mar.
28 And they fell in the midst of their camp, round about their pavilions.
78:28 E hízolas caer en medio de su campo, alrededor de sus tiendas.
29 So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire:
78:29 Y comieron, y hartáronse mucho: cumplióles pues su deseo.
30 They were not defrauded of that which they craved. As yet their meat was in their mouth:
78:30 No habían quitado de sí su deseo, aun estaba su vianda en su boca,
31 And the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones amongst them, and brought down the chosen men of Israel.
78:31 Cuando vino sobre ellos el furor de Dios, y mató los más robustos de ellos, y derribó los escogidos de Israel.
32 In all these things they sinned still: and they believed not for his wondrous works.
78:32 Con todo esto pecaron aún, y no dieron crédito á sus maravillas.
33 And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years in haste.
78:33 Consumió por tanto en nada sus días, y sus años en la tribulación.
34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and came to him early in the morning.
78:34 Si los mataba, entonces buscaban á Dios; entonces se volvían solícitos en busca suya.
35 And they remembered that God was their helper: and the most high God their redeemer.
78:35 Y acordábanse que Dios era su refugio, y el Dios Alto su redentor.
36 And they loved him with their mouth: and with their tongue they lied unto him:
78:36 Mas le lisonjeaban con su boca, y con su lengua le mentían:
37 But their heart was not right with him: nor were they counted faithful in his covenant.
78:37 Pues sus corazones no eran rectos con él, ni estuvieron firmes en su pacto.
38 But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: and will not destroy them. And many a time did he turn away his anger: and did not kindle all his wrath.
78:38 Empero él misericordioso, perdonaba la maldad, y no [los] destruía: y abundó para apartar su ira, y no despertó todo su enojo.
39 And he remembered that they are flesh: a wind that goeth and returneth not.
78:39 Y acordóse que eran carne; soplo que va y no vuelve.
40 How often did they provoke him in the desert: and move him to wrath in the place without water?
78:40 ¡Cuántas veces lo ensañaron en el desierto, lo enojaron en la soledad!
41 And they turned back and tempted God: and grieved the holy one of Israel.
78:41 Y volvían, y tentaban á Dios, y ponían límite al Santo de Israel.
42 They remembered not his hand, in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them:
78:42 No se acordaron de su mano, del día que los redimió de angustia;
43 How he wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Tanis.
78:43 Cuando puso en Egipto sus señales, y sus maravillas en el campo de Zoán;
44 And he turned their rivers into blood, and their showers that they might, not drink.
78:44 Y volvió sus ríos en sangre, y sus corrientes, porque no bebiesen.
45 He sent amongst them divers sores of flies, which devoured them: and frogs which destroyed them.
78:45 Envió entre ellos una mistura de moscas que los comían, y ranas que los destruyeron.
46 And he gave up their fruits to the blast, and their labours to the locust.
78:46 Dió también al pulgón sus frutos, y sus trabajos á la langosta.
47 And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost.
78:47 Sus viñas destruyó con granizo, y sus higuerales con piedra;
48 And he gave up their cattle to the hail, and their stock to the fire.
78:48 Y entregó al pedrisco sus bestias, y al fuego sus ganados.
49 And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels.
78:49 Envió sobre ellos el furor de su saña, ira y enojo y angustia, con misión de malos ángeles.
50 He made a way for a path to his anger: he spared not their souls from death, and their cattle he shut up in death.
78:50 Dispuso el camino á su furor; no eximió la vida de ellos de la muerte, sino que entregó su vida á la mortandad.
51 And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.
78:51 E hirió á todo primogénito en Egipto, las primicias de las fuerzas en las tiendas de Châm.
52 And he took away his own people as sheep: and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
78:52 Empero hizo salir á su pueblo como ovejas, y llevólos por el desierto, como un rebaño.
53 And he brought them out in hope, and they feared not: band the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
78:53 Y guiólos con seguridad, que no tuvieron miedo; y la mar cubrió á sus enemigos.
54 And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: the mountain which his right hand had purchased. And he cast out the Gentiles before them: and by lot divided to them their land by a line of distribution.
78:54 Metiólos después en los términos de su santuario, en este monte que ganó su mano derecha.
55 And he made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
78:55 Y echó las gentes de delante de ellos, y repartióles una herencia con cuerdas; é hizo habitar en sus moradas á las tribus de Israel.
56 Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: and they kept not his testimonies.
78:56 Mas tentaron y enojaron al Dios Altísimo, y no guardaron sus testimonios;
57 And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow.
78:57 Sino que se volvieron, y se rebelaron como sus padres: volviéronse como arco engañoso.
58 They provoked him to anger on their hills: and moved him to jealousy with their graven things.
78:58 Y enojáronlo con sus altos, y provocáronlo á celo con sus esculturas.
59 God heard, and despised them, and he reduced Israel exceedingly as it were to nothing.
78:59 Oyólo Dios, y enojóse, y en gran manera aborreció á Israel.
60 And he put away the tabernacle of Silo, his tabernacle where he dwelt among men.
78:60 Dejó por tanto el tabernáculo de Silo, la tienda [en que] habitó entre los hombres;
61 And he delivered their strength into captivity: and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.
78:61 Y dió en cautividad su fortaleza, y su gloria en mano del enemigo.
62 And he shut up his people under the sword: and he despised his inheritance.
78:62 Entregó también su pueblo á cuchillo, y airóse contra su heredad.
63 Fire consumed their young men: and their maidens were not lamented.
78:63 El fuego devoró sus mancebos, y sus vírgenes no fueron loadas en cantos nupciales.
64 Their priests fell by the sword: and their widows did not mourn.
78:64 Sus sacerdotes cayeron á cuchillo, y sus viudas no lamentaron.
65 And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine.
78:65 Entonces despertó el Señor á la manera del que ha dormido, como un valiente que grita excitado del vino:
66 And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts: he put them to an everlasting reproach.
78:66 E hirió á sus enemigos en las partes posteriores: dióles perpetua afrenta.
67 And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
78:67 Y desechó el tabernáculo de José, y no escogió la tribu de Ephraim;
68 But he chose the tribe of Juda, mount Sion which he loved.
78:68 Sino que escogió la tribu de Judá, el monte de Sión, al cual amó.
69 And he built his sanctuary as of unicorns, in the land which he founded for ever.
78:69 Y edificó su santuario á manera de eminencia, como la tierra que cimentó para siempre.
70 And he chose his servant David, and took him from the hocks of sheep: he brought him from following the ewes great with young,
78:70 Y eligió á David su siervo, y tomólo de las majadas de las ovejas:
71 To feed Jacob his servant, and Israel his inheritance.
78:71 De tras las paridas lo trajo, para que apacentase á Jacob su pueblo, y á Israel su heredad.
72 And he fed them in the innocence of his heart: and conducted them by the skillfulness of his hands.
78:72 Y apacentólos con entereza de su corazón; y pastoreólos con la pericia de sus manos.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 78.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    "With my voice," he saith, "to the Lord I have cried" (ver. 1). But many men cry unto the Lord for the sake of getting riches and avoiding losses, for the safety of their friends, for the security of their house, for temporal felicity, for secular dignity, lastly, even for mere soundness of body, which is the inheritance of the …
