Psalms, 105

1. Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

1. Lodate il Signore, invocate il suo nome; proclamate fra i popoli le sue imprese.

2. Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? who shall set forth all his praises?

2. Cantate in suo onore, a lui inneggiate, meditate su tutti i suoi prodigi.

3. Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do justice at all times.

3. Gloriatevi del suo santo nome; si rallegri il cuore di quanti cercano il Signore.

4. Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: visit us with thy salvation.

4. Ricercate il Signore e la sua potenza; ricercate il suo volto costantemente.

5. That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance.

5. Ricordate le meraviglie che egli ha compiute, i prodigiosi giudizi della sua bocca:

6. We have sinned with our fathers: we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.

6. voi, discendenza di Abramo, suo servo, figli di Giacobbe, suo eletto.

7. Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies: And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.

7. Egli è il Signore, vostro Dio; su tutta la terra sono i suoi giudizi.

8. And he saved them for his own name's sake: that he might make his power known.

8. Egli si ricorda per sempre del suo patto parola data per mille generazioni

9. And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.

9. che fece con Abramo, del suo giuramento dato a Isacco,

10. And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

10. che a Giacobbe confermò come suo statuto e a Israele come eterna alleanza,

11. And the water covered them that afflicted them: there was not one of them left.

11. quando disse: "A te darò la terra di Canaan, come vostra porzione di eredità".

12. And they believed his words: and they sang his praises.

12. Quando essi erano in piccolo numero, pochi e forestieri in quella terra,

13. They had quickly done, they forgot his works: and they waited not for his counsels.

13. vaganti da nazione a nazione, da un regno a un altro popolo,

14. And they coveted their desire in the desert: and they tempted God in the place without water.

14. non permise che alcuno li opprimesse e punì i re a causa loro:

15. And he gave them their request: and sent fulness into their souls.

15. "Non toccate i miei consacrati; ai miei profeti non fate del male!".

16. And they provoked Moses in the camp, Aaron the holy one of the Lord.

16. Fece venire la fame sulla terra, tagliò ogni sostegno di pane.

17. The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: and covered the congregation of Abiron.

17. Davanti a loro mandò un uomo; come schiavo fu venduto Giuseppe.

18. And a fire was kindled in their congregation: the flame burned the wicked.

18. Strinsero in ceppi i suoi piedi, passò nel ferro la sua gola;

19. They made also a calf in Horeb: and they adored the graven thing.

19. finché la sua parola non si fu adempiuta, e il detto del Signore non l'ebbe giustificato.

20. And they changed their glory into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.

20. Il re mandò a scioglierlo, il dominatore dei popoli mandò a liberarlo.

21. They forgot God, who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,

21. Lo elevò a signore della sua casa, sovrintendente a tutti i suoi averi,

22. wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.

22. perché istruisse i suoi prìncipi secondo il suo beneplacito, e insegnasse la saggezza ai suoi anziani.

23. And he said that he would destroy them: had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

23. Allora entrò Israele in Egitto, emigrò Giacobbe nella terra di Cam.

24. And they set at nought the desirable land. They believed not his word,

24. Ma Dio rese assai fecondo il suo popolo, lo fece crescere più dei suoi nemici.

25. and they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.

25. Mutò il loro cuore perché odiassero il suo popolo, perché contro i suoi servi agissero con inganno.

26. And he lifted up his hand over them: to overthrow them in the desert;

26. Mandò Mosè suo servo, Aronne che egli s'era scelto.

27. And to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.

27. Pose in loro le sue parole portentose, e i suoi prodigi nella terra di Cam.

28. They also were initiated to Beelphegor: and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

28. Inviò le tenebre e si fece buio, ma non rispettarono le sue parole.

29. And they provoked him with their inventions: and destruction was multiplied among them.

29. Mutò in sangue le loro acque e fece morire i loro pesci.

30. Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: and the slaughter ceased.

30. Brulicò di rane il loro paese, fin nelle stanze dei loro sovrani.

31. And it was reputed to him unto justice, to generation and generation for evermore.

31. Diede un comando e vennero le mosche, zanzare in tutto il territorio.

32. They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: and Moses was afflicted for their sakes:

32. Quale pioggia per loro mandò la grandine, fuoco e vampe nel loro paese.

33. because they exasperated his spirit. And he distinguished with his lips.

33. Poi colpì le loro vigne e i fichi, stroncò gli alberi del loro territorio.

34. They did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.

34. Diede un comando e vennero le locuste, e bruchi senza numero:

35. And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works:

35. divorarono ogni erba del paese, distrussero i frutti del loro suolo.

36. and served their idols, and it became a stumblingblock to them.

36. Colpì ogni primogenito nella loro terra, tutte le primizie del loro vigore.

37. And they sacrificed their sons, and their daughters to devils.

37. Fece uscire il suo popolo con argento e oro; non c'era alcun infermo fra le loro tribù.

38. And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan. And the land was polluted with blood,

38. Si rallegrò l'Egitto per la loro partenza, il loro terrore era caduto su di essi.

39. and was defiled with their works: and they went aside after their own inventions.

39. Distese una nube a loro protezione, e un fuoco per illuminarli nella notte.

40. And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: and he abhorred his inheritance.

40. Alla loro richiesta fece venire le quaglie e con pane dal cielo li saziò.

41. And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: and they that hated them had dominion over them.

41. Aprì una rupe e ne scaturì acqua; scorreva come un fiume nel deserto.

42. And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands:

42. Poiché si ricordò della sua santa parola, data ad Abramo, suo servo.

43. many times did he deliver them. But they provoked him with their counsel: and they were brought low by their iniquities.

43. Quindi fece uscire il suo popolo allegramente, i suoi eletti, con canti festosi.

44. And he saw when they were in tribulation: and he heard their prayer.

44. Diede a loro le terre delle genti e presero in eredità le ricchezze dei popoli,

45. And he was mindful of his covenant: and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

45. affinché osservassero i suoi precetti e custodissero le sue leggi. Alleluia.

46. And he gave them unto mercies, in the sight of all those that had made them captives.

46.

47. Save us, O Lord, our God: and gather us from among nations: That we may give thanks to thy holy name, and may glory in thy praise.

47.

48. Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say: So be it, so be it.

48.
