Psalm 78

Новый Русский Перевод

1 Псалом Асафа. О Боже, чужие народы вторглись в удел Твой, осквернили святой храм Твой и превратили Иерусалим в развалины.2 Они отдали трупы Твоих слуг на съедение небесным птицам, тела верных Тебе – земным зверям.3 Они пролили кровь их, как воду, вокруг всего Иерусалима, и некому было похоронить их.4 Мы сделались посмешищем у наших соседей; окружающие нас выказывают лишь упрек и презрение.5 Как долго, Господи, Твой гнев будет длиться – бесконечно? Как долго Твоя ревность будет пылать, как огонь?6 Пролей Свой гнев на народы, которые не знают Тебя, и на царства, которые не призывают Твоего имени,7 потому что они истребили народ Иакова и его землю опустошили.8 Не вспоминай нам грехов наших предков; пусть милость Твоя поспешит к нам навстречу, потому что мы в полном отчаянии.9 Помоги нам, Боже, наш Спаситель, ради славы Твоего имени. Избавь нас и прости нам наши грехи ради Твоего имени.10 Для чего народам говорить: «Где их Бог?» Пусть станет известно между народами, как отомстил Ты за пролитую кровь Твоего народа, и пусть это увидят наши глаза.11 Пусть дойдет до Тебя стенание узника; сильной рукою Своей сохрани обреченных на смерть.12 Семикратно возврати нашим соседям их оскорбление, которое они Тебе нанесли, о Владыка.13 А мы, народ Твой и овцы пастбищ Твоих, вечно будем восхвалять Тебя и возвещать о славе Твоей из поколения в поколение.

Psalm 78

English Standard Version

1 A Maskil[1] of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth! (Ps 49,1; Ps 50,1; Ps 50,7; Jes 51,4)2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old, (4Mo 21,27; Ps 49,4; Mt 13,35)3 things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us. (Ps 44,1)4 We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. (2Mo 12,26; 2Mo 13,8; 2Mo 13,14; 5Mo 11,19; Jos 4,6; Hi 15,18; Ps 78,11; Ps 78,32; Joe 1,3)5 He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children, (Ps 19,7; Ps 81,5; Ps 147,19)6 that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children, (Ps 78,4; Ps 102,18)7 so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments; (Ps 77,12; Ps 105,45)8 and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God. (2Mo 32,9; 2Mo 33,3; 5Mo 9,7; 5Mo 9,24; 5Mo 31,27; 2Kön 17,14; 2Chr 30,7; Hi 11,13; Ps 78,37; Jer 5,23; Hes 20,18)9 The Ephraimites, armed with[2] the bow, turned back on the day of battle. (Ps 78,57)10 They did not keep God’s covenant, but refused to walk according to his law. (2Kön 17,15)11 They forgot his works and the wonders that he had shown them. (Ps 78,4; Ps 106,13)12 In the sight of their fathers he performed wonders in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan. (4Mo 13,22; Ps 72,18; Ps 78,43; Jes 19,11; Jes 19,13; Hes 30,14)13 He divided the sea and let them pass through it, and made the waters stand like a heap. (2Mo 14,21; 2Mo 15,8; Ps 136,13)14 In the daytime he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a fiery light. (Ps 105,39)15 He split rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep. (2Mo 17,6; Ps 78,20; Ps 105,41; Ps 114,8; Jes 48,21)16 He made streams come out of the rock and caused waters to flow down like rivers. (4Mo 20,8; 4Mo 20,10)17 Yet they sinned still more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert. (5Mo 9,22; Ps 78,40; Ps 78,56; Jes 63,10)18 They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved. (5Mo 6,16; Ps 78,41; Ps 78,56; Ps 95,9; Ps 106,14; 1Kor 10,9)19 They spoke against God, saying, “Can God spread a table in the wilderness? (2Mo 16,3; 4Mo 11,4; 4Mo 20,3; 4Mo 21,5; Ps 23,5)20 He struck the rock so that water gushed out and streams overflowed. Can he also give bread or provide meat for his people?” (Ps 78,15)21 Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of wrath; a fire was kindled against Jacob; his anger rose against Israel, (4Mo 11,1)22 because they did not believe in God and did not trust his saving power. (Ps 78,8; Ps 78,32; Ps 78,37)23 Yet he commanded the skies above and opened the doors of heaven, (1Mo 7,11; Mal 3,10)24 and he rained down on them manna to eat and gave them the grain of heaven. (2Mo 16,4; Ps 105,40; Joh 6,31)25 Man ate of the bread of the angels; he sent them food in abundance. (Ps 78,29; Ps 103,20)26 He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens, and by his power he led out the south wind; (4Mo 11,31)27 he rained meat on them like dust, winged birds like the sand of the seas; (1Mo 13,16; 1Mo 22,17)28 he let them fall in the midst of their camp, all around their dwellings. (2Mo 16,13; 4Mo 11,31)29 And they ate and were well filled, for he gave them what they craved. (4Mo 11,4; 4Mo 11,19; 4Mo 11,34)30 But before they had satisfied their craving, while the food was still in their mouths, (4Mo 11,33; Hi 20,23)31 the anger of God rose against them, and he killed the strongest of them and laid low the young men of Israel. (Ps 78,63; Jes 10,16)32 In spite of all this, they still sinned; despite his wonders, they did not believe. (4Mo 14,11; Ps 78,22)33 So he made their days vanish like[3] a breath,[4] and their years in terror. (4Mo 14,29; 4Mo 14,35; 4Mo 26,64; Ps 39,5)34 When he killed them, they sought him; they repented and sought God earnestly. (Hos 5,15)35 They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God their redeemer. (2Mo 15,13; 5Mo 32,4; 5Mo 32,15; 5Mo 32,31; Ps 74,2)36 But they flattered him with their mouths; they lied to him with their tongues. (Jes 29,13; Jes 57,11; Hes 33,31)37 Their heart was not steadfast toward him; they were not faithful to his covenant. (Ps 51,10; Ps 78,8)38 Yet he, being compassionate, atoned for their iniquity and did not destroy them; he restrained his anger often and did not stir up all his wrath. (2Mo 34,6; 4Mo 14,20)39 He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again. (1Mo 6,3; Hi 7,7; Hi 10,9; Ps 103,14)40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the desert! (Ps 78,17; Ps 78,56; Ps 106,14; Ps 107,11; Eph 4,30)41 They tested God again and again and provoked the Holy One of Israel. (Ps 71,22; Ps 78,18)42 They did not remember his power[5] or the day when he redeemed them from the foe, (Ri 8,34)43 when he performed his signs in Egypt and his marvels in the fields of Zoan. (2Mo 4,21; 2Mo 7,3; 2Mo 11,9; Ps 78,12; Ps 105,27; Ps 106,22; Apg 7,36)44 He turned their rivers to blood, so that they could not drink of their streams. (2Mo 7,17)45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them. (2Mo 8,2; 2Mo 8,21)46 He gave their crops to the destroying locust and the fruit of their labor to the locust. (2Mo 10,12)47 He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamores with frost. (2Mo 9,23)48 He gave over their cattle to the hail and their flocks to thunderbolts. (2Mo 9,19)49 He let loose on them his burning anger, wrath, indignation, and distress, a company of destroying angels. (2Mo 12,13; 2Mo 12,23; 2Sam 24,16)50 He made a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death, but gave their lives over to the plague.51 He struck down every firstborn in Egypt, the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham. (2Mo 12,29; Ps 105,23; Ps 105,27; Ps 105,36; Ps 106,22; Ps 135,8; Ps 136,10)52 Then he led out his people like sheep and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. (Ps 77,20)53 He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. (2Mo 14,13; 2Mo 14,19; 2Mo 14,27; 2Mo 15,10)54 And he brought them to his holy land, to the mountain which his right hand had won. (2Mo 15,17; Ps 68,16; Ps 74,2; Jes 11,9; Jes 57,13)55 He drove out nations before them; he apportioned them for a possession and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents. (Jos 23,4; Ps 44,2; Ps 135,12; Ps 136,21; Apg 13,19)56 Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High God and did not keep his testimonies, (Ri 2,11; Ps 78,18; Ps 78,40)57 but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers; they twisted like a deceitful bow. (Ps 78,9; Hos 7,16)58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places; they moved him to jealousy with their idols. (3Mo 26,30; 4Mo 25,11; 5Mo 7,5; 5Mo 7,25; 5Mo 12,2; 5Mo 12,3; 5Mo 31,29; 5Mo 32,16; 5Mo 32,21; Ri 2,12; 1Kön 11,7; 1Kön 12,31; Hes 20,28)59 When God heard, he was full of wrath, and he utterly rejected Israel. (5Mo 3,26; Ps 78,62; Ps 106,40)60 He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh, the tent where he dwelt among mankind, (Jos 18,1; 1Sam 4,11; Jer 7,12; Jer 7,14; Jer 26,6)61 and delivered his power to captivity, his glory to the hand of the foe. (1Sam 4,21; Ps 63,2; Ps 96,6; Ps 132,8)62 He gave his people over to the sword and vented his wrath on his heritage. (1Sam 4,10; Ps 78,59)63 Fire devoured their young men, and their young women had no marriage song. (Ps 79,5; Ps 89,46; Jer 7,34)64 Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation. (1Sam 4,11; Hi 27,15)65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a strong man shouting because of wine. (Ps 35,23; Ps 73,20)66 And he put his adversaries to rout; he put them to everlasting shame. (Ps 40,14)67 He rejected the tent of Joseph; he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim, (Ps 80,1; Ps 81,5)68 but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loves. (Ps 87,2)69 He built his sanctuary like the high heavens, like the earth, which he has founded forever.70 He chose David his servant and took him from the sheepfolds; (1Sam 16,12)71 from following the nursing ewes he brought him to shepherd Jacob his people, Israel his inheritance. (1Sam 10,1; 2Sam 5,2; 2Sam 7,8; Ps 28,9)72 With upright heart he shepherded them and guided them with his skillful hand. (1Kön 9,4; Ps 77,20; Ps 101,2)
