LXX Septuaginta griega de Brenton
WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 ΑΛΕΦ. Ἐγὼ ἀνὴρ ὁ βλέπων πτωχείαν, ἐν ῥάβδῳ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ ἐμέ.
1 I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2 Παρέλαβέ με καὶ ἀπήγαγέ με εἰς σκότος, καὶ οὐ φῶς.
2 He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
3 Πλὴν ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐπέστρεψε χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν,
3 Surely he turns his hand against me again and again all day long.
4 ἐπαλαίωσε σάρκα μου καὶ δέρμα μου, ὀστέα μου συνέτριψεν.
4 He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones.
5 ΒΗΘ. Ἀνῳκοδόμησε κατʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἐκύκλωσε κεφαλήν μου, καὶ ἐμόχθησεν·
5 He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
6 ἐν σκοτεινοῖς ἐκάθισέ με ὡς νεκροὺς αἰῶνος.
6 He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
7 Ἀνῳκοδόμησε κατʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσομαι, ἐβάρυνε χαλκόν μου.
7 He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out. He has made my chain heavy.
8 ΓΙΜΕΛ. Καί γε κεκράξομαι καὶ βοήσω, ἀπέφραξε προσευχήν μου.
8 Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.
9 ΔΑΛΕΘ. Ἀνῳκοδόμησεν ὁδούς μου, ἐνέφραξε τρίβους μου,
9 He has walled up my ways with cut stone. He has made my paths crooked.
10 ἐτάραξεν ἄρκος ἐνεδρεύουσα, αὐτός μοι λέων ἐν κρυφαίοις,
10 He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in hiding.
11 κατεδίωξεν ἀφεστηκότα, καὶ κατέπαυσέ με, ἔθετό με ἠφανισμένην.
11 He has turned away my path, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate.
12 Η. Ἐνέτεινε τόξον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐστήλωσέ με ὡς σκοπὸν εἰς βέλος.
12 He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13 Εἰσήγαγεν ἐν τοῖς νεφροῖς μου ἰοὺς φαρέτρας αὐτοῦ.
13 He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.
14 Ἐγενήθην γέλως παντὶ λαῷ μου, ψαλμὸς αὐτῶν ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν.
14 I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all day long.
15 ΟΥΑΥ. Ἐχόρτασέ με πικρίας, ἐμέθυσέ με χολῆς,
15 He has filled me with bitterness. He has stuffed me with wormwood.
16 καὶ ἐξέβαλε ψήφῳ ὀδόντας μου· ἐψώμισέ με σποδὸν,
16 He has also broken my teeth with gravel. He has covered me with ashes.
17 καὶ ἀπώσατο ἐξ εἰρήνης ψυχήν μου· ἐπελαθόμην ἀγαθά.
17 You have removed my soul far away from peace. I forgot prosperity.
18 Καὶ ἀπώλετο νῖκός μου, καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου ἀπὸ Κυρίου.
18 I said, “My strength has perished, along with my expectation from Yahweh.”
19 ΖΑΙΝ. Ἐμνήσθην ἀπὸ πτωχείας μου, καὶ ἐκ διωγμοῦ πικρία καὶ χολή μου μνησθήσεται,
19 Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the bitterness.
20 καὶ καταδολεσχήσει ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἡ ψυχή μου.
20 My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me.
21 Ταύτην τάξω εἰς τὴν καρδίαν μου, διατοῦτο ὑπομενῶ.
21 This I recall to my mind; therefore I have hope. 22 It is because of Yahweh’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don’t fail. 23 They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. 24 “Yahweh is my portion,” says my soul. “Therefore I will hope in him.”
21a ΗΘ. Τὰ ἐλέη Κυρίου, ὅτι οὐκ ἐξέλιπέ με, ὅτι οὐ συνετελέσθησαν οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ· μῆνας εἰς τὰς πρωΐας ἐλέησον Κύριε, ὅτι οὐ συνετελέσθημεν, ὅτι οὐ συνετελέσθησαν οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ.
·
21b Καινὰ εἰς τὰς πρωΐας, πολλὴ ἡ πίστις σου.
·
21c Μερίς μου Κύριος, εἶπεν ἡ ψυχή μου· διατοῦτο ὑπομενῶ αὐτῷ·
·
25 ΤΗΘ. Ἀγαθὸς Κύριος τοῖς ὑπομένουσιν αὐτὸν, ψυχὴ ἣ ζητήσει αὐτὸν, ἀγαθόν·
25 Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
26 καὶ ὑπομενεῖ, καὶ ἡσυχάσει εἰς τὸ σωτήριον Κυρίου.
26 It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Yahweh.
27 ΤΗΘ. Ἀγαθὸν ἀνδρὶ, ὅταν ἄρῃ ζυγὸν ἐν νεότητι αὐτοῦ,
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28 καθήσεται κατὰ μόνας, καὶ σιωπήσεται, ὅτι ᾖρεν ἐφʼ ἑαυτῷ.
28 Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him. 29 Let him put his mouth in the dust, if it is so that there may be hope.
30 ΙΩΔ. Δώσει τῷ παίοντι αὐτὸν σιαγόνα, χορτασθήσεται ὀνειδισμῶν·
30 Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him. Let him be filled full of reproach.
31 Ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπώσεται Κύριος.
31 For the Lord will not cast off forever.
32 ΧΑΦ. Ὅτι ὁ ταπεινώσας οἰκτειρήσει, καὶ κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ ἐλέους αὐτοῦ,
32 For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
33 οὐκ ἀπεκριθη ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν υἱοὺς ἀνδρός.
33 For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
34 ΛΑΜΕΔ. Τοῦ ταπεινῶσαι ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ πάντας δεσμίους γῆς,
34 To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
35 τοῦ ἐκκλίναι κρίσιν ἀνδρὸς κατέναντι προσώπου ὑψίστου,
35 to turn away the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
36 καταδικάσαι ἄνθρωπον ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαι αὐτὸν, Κύριος οὐκ εἶπε.
36 to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn’t approve.
37 Τίς οὕτως εἶπε, καὶ ἐγενήθη; Κύριος οὐκ ἐνετείλατο.
37 Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?
38 Ἐκ στόματος ὑψίστου οὐκ ἐξελεύσεται τὰ κακὰ καὶ τὸ ἀγαθόν.
38 Doesn’t evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
39 ΜΗΜ. Τί γογγύσει ἄνθρωπος ζῶν, ἀνὴρ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ;
39 Why should a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40 ΝΟΥΝ. Ἐξηρευνήθη ἡ ὁδὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ἠτάσθη, καὶ ἐπιστρέψομεν ἕως Κυρίου.
40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Yahweh.
41 Ἀναλάβωμεν καρδίας ἡμῶν ἐπὶ χειρῶν πρὸς ὑψηλὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ.
41 Let’s lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
42 Ἡμαρτήσαμεν, ἠσεβήσαμεν, καὶ οὐχ ἱλάσθης.
42 “We have transgressed and have rebelled. You have not pardoned.
43 ΣΑΜΕΧ. Ἐπεσκέπασας ἐν ʼθυμῷ, καὶ ἀπεδίωξας ἡμᾶς, ἀπέκτεινας, οὐκ ἐφείσω.
43 “You have covered us with anger and pursued us. You have killed. You have not pitied.
44 Ἐπεσκέπασας νεφέλην σεαυτῷ ἕινεκεν προσευχῆς,
44 You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
45 καμμύσαι με καὶ ἀπωσθῆναι. ΑΙΝ. Ἔθηκας ἡμᾶς ἐν μέσῳ τῶν λαῶν.
45 You have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the middle of the peoples.
46 Διήνοιξαν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ ἐχθροὶ ἡμῶν.
46 “All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
47 Φόβος καὶ θυμὸς ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν, ἔπαρσις καὶ συντριβή.
47 Terror and the pit have come on us, devastation and destruction.”
48 Ἀφέσεις ὑδάτων κατάξει ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπὶ τὸ σύντριμμα τῆς θυγατρὸς τοῦ λαοῦ μου.
48 My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 ΦΗ. Ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου κατεπόθη, καὶ οὐ σιγήσομαι τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἔκνηψιν,
49 My eye pours down and doesn’t cease, without any intermission,
50 ἕως οὗ διακύψῃ καὶ ἴδῃ Κύριος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ.
50 until Yahweh looks down, and sees from heaven.
51 Ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπιφυλλιεῖ ἐπὶ τὴν ψυχήν μου παρὰ πάσας θυγατέρας πόλεως.
51 My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
52 ΤΣΑΔΗ. Θηρεύοντες ἐθήρευσάν με ὡς στρουθίον· πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου δωρεὰν
52 They have chased me relentlessly like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.
53 ἐθανάτωσαν ἐν λάκκῳ ζωήν μου, καὶ ἐπέθηκαν λίθον ἐπʼ ἐμοί.
53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone on me.
54 Ὑπερεχύθη ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν μου· εἶπα, ἄπωσμαι.
54 Waters flowed over my head. I said, “I am cut off.”
55 ΚΩΦ. Ἐπεκαλεσάμην τὸ ὄνομά σου, Κύριε, ἐκ λάκκου κατωτάτου·
55 I called on your name, Yahweh, out of the lowest dungeon.
56 Φωνήν μου ἤκουσας· μὴ κρύψῃς τὰ ὦτά σου εἰς τὴν δέησίν μου·
56 You heard my voice: “Don’t hide your ear from my sighing, and my cry.”
57 Εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου ἤγγισας· ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐπεκαλεσάμην σε εἶπάς μοι, μὴ φοβοῦ.
57 You came near in the day that I called on you. You said, “Don’t be afraid.”
58 ΡΗΧΣ. Ἐδίκασας, Κύριε, τὰς δίκας τῆς ψυχῆς μου, ἐλυτρώσω τὴν ζωήν μου.
58 Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul. You have redeemed my life.
59 Ἴδες, Κύριε, τὰς ταραχάς μου, ἔκρινας τὴν κρίσιν μου.
59 Yahweh, you have seen my wrong. Judge my cause.
60 Εἶδες πᾶσαν τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν, εἰς πάντας διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν ἐμοί.
60 You have seen all their vengeance and all their plans against me.
61 ΧΣΕΝ. Ἤκουσας τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτῶν, πάντας τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν κατʼ ἐμοῦ,
61 You have heard their reproach, Yahweh, and all their plans against me,
62 χείλη ἐπανισταμένων μοι, καὶ μελέτας αὐτῶν κατʼ ἐμοῦ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν,
62 the lips of those that rose up against me, and their plots against me all day long.
63 καθέδραν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀνάστασιν αὐτῶν· ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν.
63 You see their sitting down and their rising up. I am their song.
64 Ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ἀνταπόδομα, Κύριε, κατὰ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν.
64 You will pay them back, Yahweh, according to the work of their hands.
65 ΘΑΥ. Ἀποδώσεις αὐτοῖς ὑπερασπισμὸν, καρδίας μου μόχθον.
65 You will give them hardness of heart, your curse to them.
66 Σὺ αὐτοὺς καταδιώξεις ἐν ὀργῇ, καὶ ἐξαναλώσεις αὐτοὺς ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, Κύριε.
66 You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Yahweh.

Lo que dijeron los Padres

Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.

  2. Cita 3:34 Gregory of Nazianzus, Theological Orations (The Second Theological Oration)

    To us who are (as Jeremiah saith), "prisoners of the earth," and covered with the denseness of carnal nature, this at all events is known, that as it is impossible for a man to step over his own shadow, however fast he may move (for the shadow will always move on as fast as it is being overtaken) or, as …
